Our Bold
Brigadier General George
embattled hosts under his
charge, this time to effect the
ot United btates Marshal Clarence K. Holchltiss. Attacking
the senatorial citadel, he has issued the ultimatum that
Senators McNary and Stanficld must surrender and that
Hotchkiss must go, or the senators will be retired to private
life through loss of the votes of the Spanish-American and
World war veteran organizations, which the adjutant-general
declares he controls as well as
the commonwealth.
I Concerning this latest maneuver of the great strategical
genius, the Portland Journal says :
j Notice hits bben served on Slunfield, lhat unless Hntchlilss is
rfiiven tlio'gntG' he can harbor no expectation of getting any Votes
at tho 1920 primary election from Adjutant General While or any of
tile army under His command and
possess a good deal M political power and to be able to sway quite a
few votes when he, makes up his
tilings Senator Stnofleld is most eagerly cherishing just now.
; We have always suspicioned
state militia was to furnish a
hero, but have wondered the
organizations; outside of . bonuses and pensions now1 we
know. They exist to accept orders and deliver the votes for
our bold brigadier and further his political plots'.
If the senators refuse to obey orders, they will probably
be court-martialed and shot at sunrise, just as captains, and
colonels are demoted and discharged if they don't vote right.
Some fearful punishment is probably in reserve to maintain
discipline. The luckless SUnfickl, like the poor boob who
took a drink at Camp Lewis, will probably have his epaulets
publicly torn-off by the outraged commander and be
drummed out of camp.
. If.'tho situation becomes serious, there is but one way the
country can be saved. As in 1922, the intrepid adjutant
must throw himself into tho breach and as "the man of the
hour," become a candidate in the 192G primaries and, gel
wounded in the windshield again. ' ,
Throwing a Monkey Wrench
Action of the Oregon Public Service Commission in seeking
to reopen the Southern l'acific-Union Pacific controversy
over the Central Pacific, which was settled satisfactorily to
all parties by the Interstate Commerce commission, in order
to force the Southern Pacific to grant common-user'. privilege
over railroad extensions under construction, threatens to
block and indefinitely delay the railroad building era for
Oregon now underway.
Construction of the Natron Cut-off, the purchase of the
Strahorn road and the Nevada narrow-guagc line to Susan-'
ville, have all been based upon the Central Paoific com
promise. Until this issue was settled no construction was
undertaken. If tho controversy is reopened, construction will
unquestionably be halted pending final settlement. '
The Great Northern and Northern Pacific propose an ex
tension from P.end to Klamath Falls and the commission
seeks to prevent this duplication of lines over a portion of
the distance by forcing common user privileges over the new
Nalron Cut-off. To accomplish this, the Central Pacific'
settlement is al tacked.
: The Southern Pacific naturally objects to furnishing a
rival with an entrance into a field in which it was a pioneer
and had developed. Having risked its capital in construction,
il does not seem fair that it should be forced In surrender
the advantages secured by its enterprise and foresight and
share them with a competitor. If the competitor desires to
enter the field, (hat is ils privilege, but 11 should not lie at
Southern Pacific expense.
! The more money railroads spend in construction in Oregon
the better. If they want to
one of them afterwards, lhat is their privilege. So we cannot
see the wisdom of thu commission's attempting to dictate
railroad construction jmlicies, especially as it involves
postponement of construction already underway. II is
throwing a monkey wrench into the railroad construction
machine that is likely to smash it.

into. a compact to carry on a friend
ly competition through clean meth
ods to increaso their business.
The organization will throw Into
the field a local chain of stores
which will be in competition with

against outside money, and by a
process of collective buying, collec

the place of an organization sub
sidiary to tho Independent Groc

posed some time ago, and it Is de
clared by those fathering it will
give to the Willamette valley the
finest grocery system of any simi

The stores in the Triangle sys

vogue to givo the highest class of
service possible to the public and
at the same time, through a col

It is understood a large number
of retailers here, at Albany, Cor

signified their deep interest in the
