J. N. TEAL?
Mr. J. N. Teal of Portland is a
candidate for Secretary of the In
terior. This is an important of
fice and one which requires the
highest type of citizenship.
The Democrat knows nothing
of Mr. Teal's qualifications for an
office of this character. We have
never been enlightened as to what
claim he has upon the Democracy
of the state or nation for a place in
the cabinet of a Democratic pres
ident, and for that reason desire
to ask a few questions from those
who stand sponsor for his candi
dacy. 1'irst. Has Mr. Teal supported
the Democratic candidate for
president at each election since
1896, including Governor Wilson
in the year 1912?
Second. Did he support the
Democratic candidates for Con
gress and United States Senator
in his district in 1912?
Third. The Democrat desires
the names of the members of Mr.
Teal's campaign committee and
the party affiliations of each?
Fourth. The Democrat has
been luloniml that Mr. leal is
one of the D. P. Thompson heirs,
or at least closely related to one
of them. We would like to know
if the Thompson heirs, or Mr.
Teal himself, is directly or indi
rectly interested in any of the coal
or other mining lands in Alaska,
or in any other lands under the
jurisdiction of the Department of
the Interior?
Fifth. Is Mr. Teal now, or has
he ever acted, as attorney for the
O. R. & N. R. R. Co. or -any
other railroad holding public
lands under grant from Con
gress ?
These questions are asked in
the best of faith. The writer is
not familiar with all of the crooks
and turns of Oregon politics or
with the public or private records
of her first citizens.
Mr. Teal may possess excellent
qualifications for the office to
which he aspires, but before re
questing an indorsement from the
Oregon Democracy it occurs to
the writer that a bill of particu
lars should first be submitted to
the people of the state, setting
forth, in detail his record as both
citizen and Democrat.

RAILROADS' DEATH TOLL
10,585, INJURED 169,538
One Life Taken or an Injury for
Almost Every Mile of Road
Operated by Big Carrier.
Washington, Dec. 26. Every time
the big railroads of the country took
in $2,556 from the operation of their
freight and passenger trains, during
the fiscal year ending June 30 last,
a human being was killed or injured.
The causalties amounted to 180,123.
Of that number, 10,585 were killed and
169,538 were injured, acordingto the
interstate commerce commission re
port sent to congress at noon today.
During the year the railroads hav
ing incomes of $1,0U0,000 or more
earned on an average a few cents more
than $3,362 per mile of road operated.
During the preceding year they earn
ed a few cents more than than $3,465.
There was a decrease in earnings
per mile of road operated and an in
crease in the number of persons kill
ed and injured, the decrease in earn
ings being $103.16 per mile. The in
crease in casualties was 189 in killed
and 19,376 persons injured.
Taking the big carriers, those whose
operating incomes were $10,000,000 or
more, with a mileage of 176,287, a
mi in an being was killed or injured on
each nine-tenths of a mile of road.
Taking all the roads with operating
incomes ot $i,uuu,uuu and upward,
with mileage of substantially 220.000.
the casualties amount to one for every
one anu a sixtn miles ot road.
The commission renews its rceom
mendations that congress give it defi
nite power to regulate telegraph and
tcicpnone companies, to make a valua
tion of the physical property of rail
roads, to remiire a uniform classifi
cation applicable to the whole country
and control over the issuance ot rail
road stocks and bonds.
Remarkable increase in the speed
and weight of trains and the crowding
of tracks and terminals caused bv the
movement of an enormously enlarged
volume ot tratlic nave greatly in
creased the duties and responsibili
ties ot train service employees and
multiplied the chances oi error on
their part.
To prevent railroad Collisions ade
nuatc means must be taken to re
duce the chances of human error to a
minimum and to neutralize the effects
of such error when it occurs, the com.
mission Holds. It is not probable that
a satisfactory code which will meet
all demands can be secured without
action by the federal government.
One recommendation is that the
adoption of the block system should
pc required. Although the most ser
ious collisions in this country were on
block signaled roads, yet from the
standpoint of safety "the block system
is superior to the train order system,
because it presents lewer oportum
ties for men to make mistakes. When
used in connection with a code of op
crating rules, together with the neces
sary reformation of operation and dis
ciplinary measures, it would greatly
increase the safety of railroad travel."
"Safety first," is the paramount rule
ot train operation suggested hy the
commission. Figures given show that
of the total of 8,215 derailments dur
ing the year. 1,877 were caused by
tie tenets of roadway and 3,847 were
due to defective equipment. This indi
cates an increase over the previous
year of 652 in the derailments due to
bad roadway, and 1,023 due to bad
equipment.
"Of thirty-one derailments investi
gated, fourteen were either directly
or indirectly caused by bad track,'
the report says. "In five of these
fourteen cases the derailments would
oh.iblv have been had existing speed
restrictions been observed; but in all
the remaining eases no adequate speed
restrictions were in force, and in three
cases the track conditions were so ob
viously unsafe that derailments were
likely to occur even at a low speed,"

That legislation should be enacted

l so that they may distribute the polcn.
( Without this distribution of the po

1 suggest that the Oregon Agricultural

have been lost through his lax busi
ness methods. The entire sentence
is now remitted.
