CLARIFYING THINGS. IN THE SENATE. is The railroad rate bill is yet be fore the senate. The contention there is concerning provisions for reviewing, by the courts, the action of The Inter-state Com mission when it has made a rate or a regulation in excess of its authority or in violation of the constitutional right of the car rier. The bill, as it passed the house contains no provision for review, but the friends of the bill, or, more correctly, those -who favor it as passed by the house contend that its provisions are subject to review although the bill itself does not contain uch a proviso. Those who oppose the bill as it came from the house contend that without specific provision for review there can be none, even on constitutional grounds, and that because of this the bill, If enacted, would be unconstitu tional Senator Fulton says the real issue is, "shall matters resting in the discretion of the commission Ije subject ro review?" There appears to be some dif ference of opinion among sen ators whether or not the power of the courts to restrain, by in junction, an order of the com mission which is alleged to be in violation of the constitutional bright of the carrier can be pro hibited. The weight of opinion liowever, is that such power can Jiot be prohibited, and this doubtless the correct view. froceedings in injunction are usually cumbersome and slow in Teaching a final settlement o matters at issue, but it is quite ;probable the railway companies might protect their constitutional Tights by this means. It may be .said they have no other rights to -protect. But it must be appar ent that the commission may ex ceed its authority in making a rate or regulation, and make one which will work a grievous hard -shin upon the carrier without touching its constitutional rights. Suppose this is done? Who shall decide whether or not the -commission has done so? Plain ly neither the carrier nor the commission. The law then, be cause it contained no provision for judicial review would most certainly be adjudged to be un constitutional. This is the view of those sen ators wno oppose tne Dili, ana they are not all, by any means There is no doubt the majority of the senators are honestly desir ous of enacting a law which shall prove to be an efficient measure of just control. The problem, for problem it it, is one most difficult of solution. The house made little real effort to solve it, Why should it? All too fre quently the house indulges in "grand stand play" when it may safely cast the blame for failure to make good on the senate. Here is a question that the senate is not discussing on party lines, nor is it apparent that any considerable number of senators stand with the opposing rail ways. The indications are that an efficient law will soon be en acted and tnat it win De ac cepted in good faith by the rail way companies, for both these and each branch of congress see the people will have it so, will have just and adec u "te supervis ion over and controi ;. r ihair ser vants. The United States sen ate is not the corporation-controlled, obstructive, impassive body many people have been in duced to believe it is- Senator Bailey, of Texas, ad dressed the senate, last Tuesday, in a speech of four hours dura tion, on the court review proviso of the railway rate bilL He took the ground, practically, that since the U. S. district and circuit courts, are creations of congress, their powers and func tions are within the control of congress- It is wholly within the power of congress to say to just what extent these courts shall exercise powers of review over any given act of congress. Of course, the supreme court, being a constitutional and co-ordinate branch of the government is not within congressional con trol. This doctrine of Senator Bailey is not a new one, but it has been so long in obscurity that even lawyers so eminent as Senator Knox have lost sight of it. It will now, probably, lead to the early enactment of a satisfactory rate law. Huston the Next Congressman. Judging from reports coming in trom tne southern part of the first congressional district, and in the Willamette Valley, S. B. Huston is in the lei d for the nomination for congressman on the republican ticket. The rea son for this change in the senti ment ot the voters is easi'y ex plained. Mr. Huston is a plain, common every day man. When you meet him he is one ot youi class; when you talk with him, he talks common sense and busi- uess; when you examine his past life, you find a lite filled with hard work for our state, friend ship for his friends and chariu for his enemies. Republicans, when you cast vour vote on the 20th. of Apri, remember Mr. Huston is right 011 the money question, right on the tariff question, right on Pjes ident Roosevelt's great fight on the "Maximum Rate Law" which the people all need and want, ad which the railroads don't want. He is in favor of continued work at Ytquina Bay; in favor of free locks at Oregon City; in favor of exclud ing a)) Chinese, which is t'ue greatest curse to laboring men on the Pacific coast. Faimtr:, he favors the Parcel Post law; sol diers of Civil and Spanish-American war, be is your friend, he favors liberal pensions; free rural deliveiy carriers, he is your friend, he favors more pay to you; every man who ships a poundof grain, produce, or cattle, he is your friend, for he favors the interstate commerce com mission having the right to fix the rate the railroads cliar you. He is the only republican who stands f.qu&re'y side by sid with President Roosevelt 111 fa voringa "Maximum Rate Law." If you favor what he stands foT vote for him.

CHAMPION OF STATEMENT ONE. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., candidate before the Republican primaries for the nomi nation of United States Senator in Congress, for the long term commencing March 4, 1907. was born in New Bedford, Maes., February 23, 1855; was a member of the class of 1877 at Harvard University; came to Portland May 16, 1878; was a Republi can member of the Oregon Legislature in the session of 1885 and the extra session of 1886; was one of Oregon's delegates to the Rppnblican National Convention of 1888 and Oregon's member ot the Republican National Committee from 1888 to 1892, and a delegate to tlie Republican National Convention of 1S92; and was elected as a Mitchell Republican to the Oregon Legislature in 1896. Mr. Bourne haB been more prominently identified with the development of the mineral resources of Oregon than any other man in the state, having expended in the last 20 years over $1,000,000 of his ewn money in the acquisition and develop ment of Oregon mines. While Mr. Bourne has had his residence and main office at Portland 6ince 1878, he has had another office tit New Bedford, Maps., and has carried on the busi ness of his father's estate since 1889, which makes him familiar with many of the large interests and leading men in the East. These qualifications, in conjunction with his tremendous energy, originality, executive ability and experience in busi ness and political affairs pre-eminently qualify him for making an aole and influ ential Senator for the state of Oregon. Mr. Bourne has always favored extending the direct power of the people over their governmeat as lar as possible. He was one of the leading spirits in the Initiative and Referendum movement from 1896 until it was approved by the voters at the June election in 1902. In 1904 he was a member of the executive committee of the Direct Primary Nominations League, and holds the same position with the People's Power League at this time. In all these movements he hae been one of the few to guarantee the necessary expenses of prpparing and proposing their measures to the people. He says that the choice of United States Senator should be by direct vote of the people, and that the Legislature should be compelled to elect the man the people select. To accomplish this result, he is championing Statement No.,1 of the primary election law as the only method by which public opinion may be crystal lized and made effective upon the Legislature. In his petition for nomination he says : '"If I am nominated and elected I will, daring my term of office, fayor: Republican Politics. Amending National Constitution for People's Election of United States Senators. Publicity Political Campaign Expenses. National Control of Corporations in Interstate Commerce. T Riiid Exclusion of Asiatic Coolie Labor; Good W ages Make Good Citizens. Legal Limitation Labor Hours for Safety on Railroads. Parcels Post, Including Rural Delivery. Pare Food Laws.
