The fact li that the personnel of every committee nt each session of Congress is determined by a party caucus. What committees v.lll Sena tor Bourne get in the new Senate, if he should be ro-elected? He will have abandoned the Republican party and be returned at an independent or "pop ular government" Senator. Ho Is to day a member of the Republican Sen ate caucus which mukes the commit tee assignments of the Republican Gcuntors, $10,000,000, while the allotments from this fund to Oregon have aggregated only about (4,000,000. Incidentally all these appropriations for this state were authorized and the projects (Umatilla and Klamath), for which the funds were to be expended, were approved by the Secretary of the In terior over a year before Bourns be came Senator. Instead of securing for Oregon, Its Just and legal share of the Reclama- tion fund, Senator Bourne permitted Diseasing this phase of the sltua- the repeal two years ago of Ssction JVtaliaffey on the Railroad Com missioner. . Stating that Clyde If. Aitcheson, Railroad Commissioner from the Second District and candidate for re-election, had wilfully neglected he needs of the state at the past tHwo sessions of the Legislature, R. f. ("Pat") Mahnffey, independent , .catirtitlitte (or this office, reviewed Mr, Aftbetxm'K official record be fore ff large audience Portland . last Saturday nights ' "Mr. Aitcheson sajs in bis state ment to the voters in the electiou pamphlet that be is entitled to be re . .elected because lie has always served , 4 he .interests of the people," said Mr. Malinffey in part, ' "Vet, When two tills of vital importance to the state At large came before '.he last two ses. prions of the Legislature, we found Mr. ttteliesou opposed to them. ' "At .the last session, Senator J. N. Jiutgess, ol Pendleton, introduced a bill providing that the railroad must post ft time table stating the ejtact time of arrival of delayed trains. This was to prevent the railroad company from making false reports of delayed (rains, and to keep prospective pass engers front sitting in a cold waiting room for hours, not knowing the ex ct time toe train would arrive. The 1)111 passed the House and .Senaie, birt when it came before Governor West for his signature the Governor vetoed it because Mr.Aitebeson and the other Commissioners were against its pass age and prevailed upon the Governor to take this action. "At the preceding session it bill was introduced by Senator Nick Sin tiott, of The Dalles, and provided that livestock trains must be operated at ft speed cf not less than 15 miles per hour. This bill was endorsed by practically every livestock shipper in (lie state, but Mr. Aitcheson, with the other Commissioners, went before the Railroad Committee of the Senate and told the members the bill was not needed, as the Commission had ample authority to enforce the law i l this particular, and the passage of the bill would mean an interference with the j work of the Commission. The result was that the bill was defeated, but I ask Mr. Aitcheson, or any ether Com missioner, to show me where they fcave remedied conditions, ami every rattle shipper knows they have not. 'Both of these bills ars endorsed in my platform, and I will earnestly work for their passage, it elected." Mr. Mahaffey ia mukiug a Dum ber of speeches ia and about Port land, and promised that lie would have sevml more things to say re garding the work of the Commis ipu before the camfaijjn js over. tion; a Portland paper made the fol lowing comment: "Will Mr. Bourne enter the Republi can caucus? i After having defeated the regular Republican nominee will he be taken in If he seeks to enter? Will he have any political status what: over as an Independent? The ques tion will not be determined by the do glres or wishes of Senator Bourno, or by any regard for his previous stnnd Ing In the Senate; but solely by the political exigencies of the Republican majority, if there Is a majority. Or It is Just as likely that there may be a Democratic majority. In that case It might be expected that Senator Bourne would traffic with the Demo cratic party as a 'practical man' for anything the dominant party might be Inclined to give. "Whatever the facts about this In teresting and doubtful question, it Is certain that Senator Bourne would be obliged to adjust himself to a. new situation as a new Senator In the Senate, and It Is further certain that the faithful followers of the Senator who are declaring that the committees he got as a Republican he may retain as an Independent are merely guess Bourne and the Tariff. In an address In Portland a few days ago, Walter M. Pierce, prominent Eastern Oregon Democrat, had th following to say concerning. Senator Bourne and hi tariff record: "But If Bourne J re-elected, how Will he vote? Nobody knows and I doubt if he knows himself. When the Pnyne-AIdrlch bill was being consid ered Bourne admitted on the floor of the Senate that be did not know any thing about the tariff but left that with Aldrlch witb whom he voted In nearly every Instance. Neither do we want a man In the United States Sen ate who la so close to the Standard Oil Company an Intermediary, if yo please, . for that corporation." Saves Leg of Boy. "It seemed that my 14-year old boy would have to lose his leg, on account of an ugly ulcer, caused by a bad bruise," wrote D. F. Howard, Aquone, N. C.

This parti' cular section specifically provided that the bulk of the money contributed by any state to the Reclamation fund from the sale of public lands should be expended In tbe state making the contribution. Tbe repeal of this sec tion has made possible the further di version of funds belonging to this state and their expenditure In the de velopment of other near-by states. The vital part of the repealed section read as follows: ' "That It Is hereby declared to be the duty of the Secretary of the Inter ior in carrying out the provision of this act, so far a the same ma be l practicable and subject to the exist ence of feasible Irrigation projects, to expend the major portion of the fund arising from the sals of publlo lands within each state and territory, here inbefore named, for the benefit of arid and seml-arld lands within th limits of such state or territory' , Granting for the sake of argument that Senator Bourne obtained all of the appropriations he claims to have secured for Oregon, the loss to the state of Its share of the Reclamation fund amounted to Just about doublo all appropriations received by . .this state during Senator Bourne's term.
