Suspicion Should Disqualify.
Dispatches from Washington are
to the effect that President Taft will
not appoint Chas. W, Fulton to the
federal bench. This is a wise de
cision, on the part of the president.
Fulton, may or may not be as cot
nipt as his enemies claim he is.
He .even may be innocent of the
charges brought against him and a
very able lawyer, but there are
many, aany people throughout the
state and the nation who believe
the ex-senator guilty. With thfe
suspicion resting upon him, he
should never be elevated to the
federal judgeship. That is a posi
lion that should be occupied by
men of the highest integrity, and
upon whom there rests not the
slightest shadow of contaminating
suspicion. It is of the most vital
importance that the judiciary shall
at all times be kept absolutely free
from suspicion and not only free
from suspicion but above it. No
one can deny that Fulton has been
tarred with the stick of suspicion.
For this reason the appointment of
Chas V. Fulton to the federal
bench would be a grave mistake.

OREGON, DEAR OREGON.
(Air "Hetdelbcrj,'.")
Better than riches or worldly wealth.
la life In a clime that's royal,
Teeming with happiness, hope and health
And wanned by a snn benign;
Sweeter than pell that is won by stealth,
It ballillsK with citizens loyal;
So come, Ictus clink, but first let us drink
One toast with a brimming stein.
Here's to the state that knows no dearth.
Here's to the hopes that rise;
Here's to her sons, the best on earth,
Here's to her smiling skies;
Here's to her past so glorious,
Here's to her future great.
Here's to her ever victorious,
Here's to our own dear state.
Oh, Oregon, dear Orecon,
The state we love so well,
Where summer snows and besuteous rose
Peck mountain, hill and dell;
Where shimmering sheen and evergreen
Blend into heav'n above;
The thought of you, so old so new,
O'er fills our hearts with love;
The thought of you, so staunch, so true,
O'er fills our hearts with love.

j! Shall the State of Oregon Build Railroads? ij
AN ADDRKSS D8MVKRUD J1V COL. C K. S. WOOD Of rORTLAt.t).
(Continued from Uit week.)
When Loss I Profit.
"No one doubts that a railroad
through Central Oregon is going to
be the key to the situation. It will
have a country tributary to it near
ly as large as all of New England,
omitting the state ol Maine. The
timber alone that it will have to
haul is beyond calculation, but say
that for some years it was operated
absolutely at a low, as they say
the portage railway is operated at
a loss. It is that sort of loss which
is in reality profit, because it builds
up the state and produces in every
direction such general profits in the
state as makes the actual loss in
significant. For example, the
Harriman system for a long time
operated its tugs on the Columbia
bar and river at a loss, but in en
abling the railroad to compete with
the northern roads at Seattle this
apparent loss was real profit. The
Panama canal will be operated at a
loss. No one doubts that. Yet in
its general effect on the United
States it will be a real profit. But
if anyone expects a railroad through
Central Oregon really to be run at
a loss he has only to look at the
railroads running through eastern
Washington, every one of which is
piling up dividends.
"I have said that a road through
Central Oregon is the key to the
situation. Most of it will be built
on a high plateau practically as
level as a floor. A glance at the
map and the rivers will show that
this road is the great natural trunk
line and short line. Mr. Harriman
himself would be glad to lease it on
any just terms laid down by the
state. There are four eastern roads
making for this part of the country.
Any one of them, or all four of
them, will be glad to lease this
road from the state on terms very
profitable to the state. Or, as a
railroad man himself suggested, the
state could own the roadbed, suffi
cient motive power and the oper
ating department and would dts
patch any other railroad's trains
over the state joad upon a certain
tonnage mile charge.
"This is a common practice
among railroads themselves. The
Astoria road used to run its trains
over the Northern Pacific track,
subject to the Northern Pacific dis
patchers. There is no more trouble
to run ao trains of 20 different roads
over a track than to run 20 trains
belonging to one road.
"It is a favorite saying of rail
road owners, 'if you don't like our
way of doing things get in and
build your own roads.' This b a
mere sarcasm. If a corporation
were to be formed in portland here
for the purpose of developing East
ern Oregon with railroads it would

meet with Mr. Hnrrtman in the
steel mills, in the car factories, in
the money market nud even ou our
own soil, in the passes and rights
of way which he is holding. But
Mr. Harriman has not power to
depreciate the value of the bonds cf
the state of Oregon; they are as
good as government bonds in any
matket in the world.
"The state of Oregon could say
to Mr. Harriman, '1 want your
right of way and your passes my
self.' The state of Oregon could
say to Mr. Harriman, 'I will not
only fix the rate on the state
owned road, but I will fix the
reasonable rate for the interchange
of traffic on your road.'
"So we come to the conclusion
that with Oregon dying of slow
strangulation something must be
done to relieve the railway situ
ation. The private individuals
have neither the capital nor the
credit to attack the Harritnau sys
tem. The state of Ortgon has
both the credit and the power, and
instcud of Mr. Harriman dictating
to the state, the state can dictate to
him.
"The stale (or the people of the
state) is already furnishing the
money which pays Mr. Harritnan'n
bonded interest and is providing a
sinking fund for his debt and pay
ing him a heavy profit besides,
which profit he is using not to de
velop the state of Oregon but to
really keep railroads out of the state
and develop outside territory.
"The interest of the state of Ore
gon is for more railroads; the inter
est of the' Harriman system is for
less railroads. The interest of the
people is for the lowest possible
rate; the interest of Mr. Harriman
and those he represents is for the
highest possible rate.
"With these antagonisms, with

P COURSE, if a particular store were to begin at
once to double its advertising in amount. It
would more than double it in effectiveness. Thit
is one of the vagaries of "store-arithmetic." Two columns
of space Arc worth more than twice as much na one col

times as much as a half page but, of course. Is not

the admitted necessity that sonic
thltig bo done, what better way Is
there than that the state of Oregon
(which Is, nfter alt, the people of
Oregon) should get ' in nud help
herself.
"As to the old-time grafting of
the people by state aid to railroads
nud state subsidies, the constitution
is not altered in this respect. The
door is absolutely shut against any
such graft, and finally, it must be
remembered that the present move
ment is to amend the state const!
tutiou so as to permit the state to
issue bouds for the purpose of rail
toad construction i( it has to do so,
It remains entirely with the private
railroad owners whether the state
will be driven to this extremity.
If the private railroad owners do
their duty by the state there will be
no such necessity , and if they do
not do it and leave us to suffer In
the future as we have for years in
the past, seeing our neighbors go
ing ahead of us, shall the people
not be permitted to help them
selves?
"That is the whole tenor of this
amendment that the people may
help themselves in case they arc
forced to do so. And it must be
remembered that there is nothing
whatever in the state constitution
which prevents the stafe building a
railroad today. All that is pro
hibitcd is that the state shall not
aid private corporations and shall
not go in debt more than $50,000.
But if the state chose to ouiiu a
railroad herself and voted the
money immediately, say f 10,000,
000 in one appropriation, there is
nothing to prevent it.
"Taking the whole situation a
it is, I see no better remedy than
for the state to remove this bar and
I see no possibility of private graft
or state bankruptcy. On the con
trary, I see great state prosperity,
an example of which may be seen,
as I have said, by comparing east
ern Washington with eastern Ore
gon. "Remember the real point is the

state has no desire to go into the
railroad business unless the lailroad
owners force her to do so in self
defence. If they do so force her
shall her hands te tied? That
would be the worst graft of all."
