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.

Republican Candidate for United States Senator.
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:
