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."

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."

9 of tho Reclamation act. 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.
The appended table of figures, taken
from the official records of the Re
clamation Service, show approximate

states for the sales of public lands
