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
