Should be left to Legislature charge 20 ixr cent more than boat
There are no less than eight ap
plications for the creation of new
counties to be voted upon by the
people of Oregon at this Fall’s elec
tion. Though there may l>e one or
more of these new county schemes
possessing some degree of merit and
arc promoted by good faith, it would
appear that in the main they are in t
entitled to the favorabl«- considera
tion of the people at large, and a< a
matter of exp«-diti n and good pub
lie policy all of them should be de
feated .
In the first place, the Herald be
lieves that the creation of a new
county is a matter devolving upon
the Legislature and should not be
submitted to a vote of the people at
large, who cannot possibly have any
intelligent idea of the demanti for
such proposed new counties, and
are, therefore, in no sense competent
to vote upon the measures What
does the average voter of the north
eastern part of the state know about
the practicability or wisdom of the
clamor of the southwestern portion
of the state for the creation ot a new
countv? Certainly, in the maj.ni y
of cases, he 'would not be able to
cast an intelligent vote on the prop
osition.
*
The submission to a vote of the
people- of the whole state of these
vinous county division schemes,
therefore, would seem highly imprac
ticable, it r.ot unwise. Moreover,
the success of these various division
schemes would establish a bad pre
cedent. which might tend to retard
the healthy growth and reasonable
prosperity of many counties of the
state.
There are d«»ubtlcss counties in
Oregon whi« h should be divtdeil into
two separate county organizations,
but these, the llerald believe:-,
should lie taken c.ue ot by the Leg
islature and not voted upon by the
people of the state at large, who
cannot possibly jtulge ot the merits
or wisdom ot the prop set! division
of a remote section ot the state, ano
in which the voters at large car. hav«
no reasonable interest.
Many «if th«- county schemes up
for consideration this Fall are with
out question ill -advised, and th«
Herald sugg«-sls a negative vote on
all county measures as th- most
practical remedy for the present
county division epidemic. - Albany

people are not prepared frfr such
radical legislation as that which has

¡tower be conferred uj>on the Inter
stat«! Commerce Commission, it will
at le*st prohibit the economic phe-
m in«.non of railroads carrying freight
between given points at'an absolute
financial loss.
The second suggestion is that the
railroads he forbidden to increase a
rate when it has once been lowered,
where the manifest purpose of the
reduction was to destroy waterway
comp« tition. This is similar to the
system practiced in England, where
the railroads are not permitted to
raise rates once lowered except on
the approval o! the board of trade.
In Germany and Belgium, with the
states owning the railroads and con
trolling the waterways, the railroads
are not permitted to carryrertain
coarser classes of freight which lend
themselves readily to transpoitatio i

Leonard Bronson, manager of the

thing for Oregon fir, because it will

Commercial bo«lies of this stale
are being invited by the Twice-a-
Week Spokesman-Review, Spo
kane, to express an opinion on the
most piomising agricultural devel
opment in their own sections and
the means used to further the ad
vance.
An interchange of ideas
along these lines will be helpful.

event, opening the Pacific to the
Senator Burton, the recognized
authority upon waterway transporta
tion, who has made a life study, not
alone of American, but al -v ot Euro
pean rivers an«l harbors, and who
led the fight on the last "Pork-Bai -

suggestions for the relief of the wat
er-ways front unfair railroad compe
tition.
The first is that the Interstate

they now have the power to deter

their are many th.tigs w .rth seeing

Sull another
strong argument tbit might appea

miles, fully i,500,0«» people, and it
is that nearby population, according
to previous records, th it in ikes such
