The St. Iiuis Globe Democrat of

noyer, now Mayor of Portland, Or.,
has el ven half of his salary to the
poor. This Indicates not only a spir
it of commendable benevolence, but
also a proper sense of the value of his house
services to the city." This is 1m
nortant news out here but its truth
THAT CAUCUS AQA1S.
That a senatorial caucus will be
held, notwithstanding the objections
of the Oregonian is hardly a question
of doubt; although with the decided
republican majority in the present
legislature there is no political neces
sity for such action. There would be
less objection to a caucus were it not
for the fact that as usually held, it
gives opportunity for those partici
pating to betray their constituents
with impunity as detection is im
possible where the secret ballot is
used.
This betrayal of the interest of
constituents could be easily prevent
ed' ii" ne element of secret voting in
ucn caucus were removed. As the
vote in the caucus Is expected to
determine the question before it as
effectually as the vote In the sena
torial convention, this should be
taken in either rase so that those
voting could be held accountable to
their constituents for the manner in
which their votes are cast.
Th co gnvii sna v.Thy thf
voting should not be as oen in a
eaucus held to determine who shall
be supported for United States sen
ator as lu the Joint convention of Ihe
house to elect. The people have a
(rood right to know how their ser
vants vote on all questions, and an
open vote in caucus is the only plan
that will insure that Information.
Treachery in the caucus has been so
notorious in Oregon that it is no
unusual thing for a large minority ot
those engaged in it to absolutely re
fuse to be bound by its decisions,
This would be avoided if every vote
in the caucus for U. 8. Senator wax
taken by ayes and nays; a record ol
the same kept with the same care
that a vote in legislatuie is kept,
and under the pledge of secrecy so
far as individuals have voted, until
the joint convention of the two
has made the final choice.
The only ones to object to this plan
would be those who intended to be-
terests and the public must do like
wise whenever there is a conflict of
interests. Hence some agency must
be employed suitable for this pur
pose and the majority of the state use
a commission. It is contended by
some that the preseut law in this state
does not give the railroad commiss
ion sufficient power to do what it
might for the public. If that be so,
it is within the power and it should
be the province of the legislature to
pass such a law as would confer up
on the commission ample powers.
Again it is contended that the com
mission is too expensive. If that be
so, it is the promise of the legislature
to a'ast tbai zho.- A3 io Lc&ci at
commlssioi should be appointed by
the governor, elected by the legisla
ture or by the people is a matter of
little consequence to the public, as it
propriatlon for the insane, there is in
sight for the coming legislature, a
reduction in its appropriations of
more than $500,000 over the legisla
ture of two years ago.
THE DEATH OF LOU EAILEY.
There is a touching eadneas sur
rounding the death of "Lou" Bailey
as her friends affectionately called
her. Both her older sisters bad died
quite young. Naturaly the develop
ment and growth of their apparently
aencaie cnuu, were wanned with a
tender solicitude and anxiety, Inten
si fled by previous bereavments. It
is not strange that she became the
center of strong family affection

provision be made by the legislature frowns associated with her memory,
for securing the righU of the public Her constant cheerfulness, kindly
against the railroads, is certainly greetings, pleseut words and kind

The only way we have of judging
of the future Is by the past. At the
last session of the legislature the
houso sent to the senate 27 measures
that were referred to committees but
not reiMirtod back. They were
pocketed. These were bills. There
were 8 concurrent resolutions re
ferred, 1 joint resolution and 1 me
mortal. Among the bills referred
was II. H. No. 7 introduced by Fax
ton. It repealed the act authorizing
the purchase of the jute mill for the
penitentiary: No. 350 authorizing
charging and collecting tolls on fer
ries and bridges in the city of Fort
land, referred to the senators ol
Multnomah county; No. 32 regulat
ing the niaintainance of wire fences

No. 1 reealing law creating board
of railroad commissioners, No. 2i0,
regulating fees in J. F. courts. These
cient that they intend to betray the
sacred trust placed in their keeping.
It AII.NO AD COMMISSIONS.
One of the things the coming legis
lature will have to deal with is the
railroad commission, what shall be
done with it? Shall it be abolished
and the public left to the mercy ol
the railroads with no redress but the
courts? Shall It be retained as it is,
or shall it be reconstructed and its
powers extended. iKach of these
theories Is likely to have support in
the legislature.
If it Is useless, it should be ahol
Ished by all means. If it is useful, it
should be retained in some form suit
ed to the circumstances. The busl
ness of railroads is with the public
and it Is from it that they obtain
remuneration for the service they
render. That the remuneration be
uniform and reasonable, is claimed
by the public, and legislation Is
sought to secure this right, and a
commission Is one means of enforcing
legislation for this purpose.
Thlrty.four of tho states have rail
road commissions in some form.
Some of them have been In existence
for more than thirty years, aud have
long since ceased to be experimental
but are to be regarded as an import
ant part of the machinery of the state
government.
The powers bestowed uKn the
commission in the different states
and the manner in which they are
constituted, are quite different, but
the main object of the commissions
that of enforcing the rights of the
public and pr serving the equities
between the public and the railroad?
are the same,
The various state legislatures have
very different opinions as to the best
methods of regulating matters affect
ing railroads and the public. In some
states, Illinois for example, the laws
are quite drastic and their strict en
forcement would entail endless strife
and litigation. In others, such as
Massachusetts and New Hampshire,

The Journal reports that, "When
It. L. Edwards, of the American
Book Company, was in Fossil a short
time ago, he said all the newspapers
in Oregon excepting three, of which
the Oregonian is one, were working
for his company." If the Oregonian
was one, the Fossil Journal and Hills
boro I s pk.I'KN dent are tho other
two. There is one remarkable thing
aliout the organc of the book trust
and that Is those papers, whose edi
tors or owners are members of the
next legislature are loudest In defense
of Ihe American Hook Company, and
atlon of the commission has about
the same force as law in most cases.
Bo just are their recommendations,
generally, that the railroads either
comply or the legislature enacts a
law in conformity therewith, cover
ing the case. In the states when the
laws are very stingent, frequent lit!
gallon ensues and only what can be
legally forced from the railroads Is
conceded. Perhaps the best law that
can be enacted to govern the railroads
of a state, is one that allows consid
erahle latitude to a commission in Its
application to various cases. If a
commission then uses its discretion
wisely, the test results may tie ob

A resolution creating an investiga- led by a commi-wsion is that of re-
ting committee was Introduced In siraint. The very fact of the exlst-
tno legislature that met a few weeks ance of a commission, puts railroads
later, and passed the House but was on guard and often prevents infringe-
among the number of those "referred' merit upon the riithts of the nubile.
upon which to make a fair estimate
of the cor-t of the state's nrintinir.
Estimated uin this basis the entire
appropriation two years rtgoahould
have been ."0,502, instead of S3,
7.b, leaving a saving of 133,502 in
sight.
There is 10,000 Included in the
last appropriation as pay for the
board of three that are supposed to
look after the deaf-mute, reform
school, blind school, Insane asylum
and domestic animal commission.
The work of the board would he

which $3000 would be ample appro
priation, saving $701 N) In this
item.

amount by which the former appro

KxerieiK has demonstrated that in
affairs In which the public have an
Interest, proper oversight is necessary.
Railroads take care of their own in-
allowance for additional buildinrs
for the Insane, and it is also exclusive
of the enormous fern charged the
slate, the amounts of which are
knwon only to their beneficiaries.

usual In thesummertime. After the
fall rains and often during the winter
when in favorable conditloaa. this
process should be repeated.
Leveled off, Just before a heavy
rain, the water would run off and
the road would not cut up into great
cnucK noies. in order to do this,
me sufSTvisor must nave as much
interest in the roads as In anything
else and have teams which he could
command when needed and not
have to wait until the farmer gets

Mv friend, who sighs hinself "lax.

gestions, but with due ressx't for
his opinion, I must differ widely

uu nun wiicre ne says "ine suikt-
visor can secure as good work from
the tax payers as he would from his
personal friends whom he would em
ploy under the cash system." If he

according to specified contract, he
woul'l not have any 'nersonrl friend'
who would not work. I find a mis
taken impression here, that the aun.

pt-opie. i ne supervisor or that st tte
is the same as county commissioner
in this itate, and that commissioner
has charge of all the roads In the
county and the work is done by eon-
