DISCRIMINATION. According to the ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion a newspaper man is prohib ited from selling advertising to railroad companies and accecting his payment in transportation. Such an attitude does not savor of a "square deal" toward the newspaper man or the railroad companies by any means. It would seem as though a newspaper man had a" right to accept whatever pleased him for his advertising and if he publish ed mat'er in the interest of the railroad company and accepted his payment therefor the trans action seems the same as though he ran an ad for his grocer and took butter and eggs as his pay. To us the transactions seem iden tical. To interfere and inhibit a man from accepting such payment for his services has the appear ance of an unjust discrimination The ruling of the Interstate Com mission seems unjust, particular ly as it infringes ucon the right of contract. In this case the newspaperman has space to sell; the railroad has transportation to sell The newspaper man wants transportation and the railroad wants advertising. The railroad is willing to trade its transporta tion for newspaper space and the newspaper man is willing to ac cept transportation for his space. From so plain a statement of af fairs it would seem that it is only just that they be permitted . to write their contract without the interference of a law which ap pears on the face of it an in fringement of the rights of con tract, which is one of the funda mental principles of liberty and law. We have no desire to sit as a high court upon this question. It may be stated that the legal depart ment of the Monon railroad com pany has made a test case of this matter in Chicago. 111., and the supreme court of the United States is to be asked to pass upon the question of whether a rail road company can issue transpor tation in payment for newspaper advertising- The claim is made by the Monon company that the ruling of the .Interstate Commerce- Commission denies the freedom of contract to a particu lar class. The rule, as univer sally stated and upheld by the courts, is: "What the parties agree shall constitute the pay ment, the law will adjudge to be the payment. It is competent for parties to designate by the r contract how and in what pry ment shall be made ; It is by no msans true that payment can only be nude in money; -on the contrary, it may be made in pro perty or in services." The ruling abovs referred to certainly looks like discrimina tion against a certain class and if such proceeding shall finally e lield legal by the supreme court of the United States who shall say who or what class shall next lie inhibited from the rights of contract? HEMEDY PROPOSED. . The crying need of the State of Oregon for some time has been the car famine which has existed to the detriment of shippers of all kinds of merchandise and sup plies. Heretofore there has been no means provided for the protection of shippers nor for fixing upon railroad companies the responsibility of a failure to ! supply said shippers with the errs necessary. Nor has there been any adequate means rrovid- cd by when the railroad com-1 panie3 could be required to hast- en or facilitate transportation in any way whatsoever, Senator A. J. Johnson, of Ben ton, has drafted a bill which, from perusal, we are convinced is a most excellent one. He will introduce it ,in the legisla - ture and it seems that its passage should be assured. It is very comprehensive, fair to all both railroad companies and shippers, and in no place is there the least venom apparent nor class favor itism. It is first and last based upon the needs of Oregon and the protection of all transporta tion interests. The railroads are treated fairly and the only re quirement of the bill is "a square deal" for all. We hope the bill receives at the hands of Senator Johnson's legislative colleagues that treatment which it merits and which conditions not only warrant, but make necessary. The terrors of an unseen power have made man's impotency felt again this time in the city of Kingston, Jamaica. Last Tues day the world was informed that a seismic disturbance was in pro gress in Kingston, but the infor mation was meager. Since then details have penetrated even to the "county corners" and all are informed of the horrors, the des titution and the loss of human life in the . stricken city. The earth is said to be gaping open and the ruined city . in danger of sinking into the sea. Thous ands of people have been rushed into eternity in the twinkling of an eye. All has not yet been told, nor is the end yet in sight. Today, in the legislative halls in Salem, two United States sen ators are to be elected. Rather, it will be an endorsement of the "voice of the people" as it echoes from the state election of last June. The men to be chosen are Jonathan Bourne and Fred W. Mulkey, both of Portland. There is no promise of anything in the least dramatic in the election. What a contrast this will prove in comparison with like elections in the years pass ed. Real Estate Transfers.

Of Greatest Importance. Keep the open river question to the front Make it the bur den of your song to those in au thority. Nothing elsa is so ul timately important in Oregon. Pull for open rivers and improv ed harbors constantly and insist ently. What we want ani de serve out here is not occasional driblets of appropriations, but enough to push all these meritor ious projects right through. The indications are that this congress will do a little better for us than we expected; but keep up the campaign for still larger and en tirely sufficient appropriations by the next congress, not only for the jetty but for the Celilo canal, for the upper Columbia and Snake rivers, for Coos bay, Siu slaw and the rest If we don't get what we want, let us not be in fault in not making our wants known.
