Sensible Regulation of
Railways.
State legislatures generally
have shown symptoms of a mania
for regulation of railways. In
forty-two legislatures during 1913
there was a total of 1,395 bills
for the regulation of railway op
eration. Of that number 230 bills
were passed.
There appear to be three causes
underlying this unprecedented
flood of regulative measures. As
an authoritative publication ob
serves, the first originates in a
commendable desire on the part
of legislators to promote the pub
nc wenare tnrougn the passage
of laws really needed.
The second cause arises from
vain-glory and deceit. Bills pre
tending to regulate railways are
introduced in large numbers by
certain legislators whose object
is to create an impression that
they are "on the job."
The third cause is given by The
Railway Age Gazette as the main
spring of much of this legislation.
It is traceable to the "ubiquitous
activity of the lobbies of the rail
way brotherhood," withtheirde
mands for statutes covering the
subjects of full crews, hours of
service, service letters and time
of payment, terms of employ
ment, experience of employes,
i 1 1 i i i . i
neaangnts, ana so on tnrougn a
practically interminable list.
The net result, as summarized
by the authority given, is the pas
sage of some good measures, and
of a large number of provisions
"restrictive, burdensome, med
dlesome, inconsistent, expensive,
unjust or downright silly."
Since the effect of the 230 laws
recently adopted is to increase the
cost of railway operation, the al
ternative of the roads is either to
reduce net earnings or increase
passenger and freight rates.
Evidently there ought to be
some sort of clearing house for
railway legislation. It is admit
ted on every hand, even by the
roads themselves, that intel
ligent legislation and regulation
are necessary; but the line must
be drawn somewhere.
It is entirely possible that the
demand of the roads for "intelli
gent" action may yet be met by
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. The tendency clearly laid
down in the Minnesota cases was
to enlarge the powers of that
body at the expense of the vari-j
ous State Commissions.
If this be carried to its logical
conclusion, the railways will ulti
mately have only one legislative
body to prescribe for them--the
Congress, instead of the Legisla
tures of forty-eight states.
This ought to be true because
about nine-tenths of allcommerce
is interstate, and therefore sub
ject to the jurisdiction of the In
terstate Commission. Seattle

Teachers Trained to Meet
Pressing Needs.
Oregon Agricultural College,
Corvallis, Ore., Oct. 8.-"Canyou
furnish us a teacher of manual
training?" This question was
asked more than twenty times of
Professor E. D. Ressler, head of
the department of Industrial Ped
agogy, Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, after the available supply
for this year hnd been exhausted.
In order to meet the increasing
demand for teachers in home eco
nomics and manual training the
faculty has been enlarged and
the courses rearranged so that
students are now offered as com
prehensive and complete prepa
ration as can be found in any in
stitution in the country.
A four years' degree course in
manual training is now offered
for the first time. It is styled
Industrial Arts, and leads to the
degree of bachelor of science. In
addition to the technical subjects,
including construction work in
the elementary grades, wood
work, pattern making, machine
shop, art metal work and forg
ing, the course includes trigono
metry, college algebra, plain sur
veying, mechanical drawing and
descriptive geometry, chemistry,
physics, courses in forestry, lib
eral training in English, modern
languages, political science and
professional courses in education.
Construction work in this de
partment will be in charge of As
sistant Professor E. P. Jackson,
who has been assigned to the
preparation of teachers for in
struction in manual training. As
students of his classes will go in
to the public schools and teach
manual training to thousands of
Oregon boys, their opportunity
to take the subject under Profes
sor Jackson is a matter of great
value to the state as well as to
themselves.

is to be erected on the grounds
of the provincial courthouse in
Vancouver, B. C. The pole is

five tons after being dressed and
allowed to season six to eight
months. It will be set in a foun

Planning to orsaniza a movement
for the development of the territurv
surrounding each of the commercial
clubs throuhgout the state, Tom Rich
ardson, who has probably engineered
more such undertakings than any other
one man in the United States, has
been engaged by the Executive Com
mittee of the Portland Gommerical
Club to give the greater portion of
his time to this line of work in the
futnre.
With the development of each com
munity in the. state to its greatest
possible extent as his object, Mr
Richardson will devote his energies
and his experience to assisting each
individual commercial body in raising
funds and in inaugurating: a campaign
wide in soope and aggressive in
character for the betterment of their
own home territory. One of the
main ideas in this work will be to
place the idle lands of the state within
reach of homeseekers at reasonable
prices and when established on the
land, the newcomer will be assisted
in every possioie way 10 make a suc
cess of his venture. If Oregon is to
profit by the great movement of tour
ists to the Coast in 1915, each com
muuity should commence preparations
to that end at once.
At the Salem State Fair, whioh
has just closed the most prosperous
session ever held, Douglas county
took first prize for the best coonty
display, forcing Benton county, five
times winner of the aunual contest to
take second place. The decision was
a very close one, the judge haying
been for some time undecided as to
which display was the best, the splen
did showing of corn in the Douglas
county booth being the fiual deciding
factor. Clackamas couutty was third
Washington county fourth, Linn fifth,
Tillamook sixth and Polk county
seventh. Certainly no better county
exhibits have ever before been made
at the State Fair.
Development of the country trihu
tary to the Sumpter Valley Railroad
is now in full swing. Mining and
logging are extremely active but
probably the most hopeful sign of
future prosperity in that section Is
the great interest being taken by the
farmers in stock raising end dairying.
Two carloads of high grade Holsteins
were recently imported by the FirBt
National Bank of Paririe City and
these cattle have been distributed
mong the farmers at reasonable prices
nd on easy terms. It is expected
that within a short time the output
of the dairy will be among the most
important produots of that section.
After several years of litigation
nvolving claims in the Siletz country.
the announcement has just been made
that the settlers have fina'ly been
ictorious and that patents io the land
will immediately be issued by the
Government. With all .uncertainty
to the future removed, develop
ment will certainly prooeed with
great speed. The railroads have long
been anxious to tap that rich timber
seotion, and they are now free to go
ahead with the work.

A remarkable record has been made
the past summir in keeping down
forest fires in the great areas of the
Northwest, it being stated on good
authority that the total loss will fall
under 3,000,000 feet with a valuation
less than $5,000, this in comparison
with the former low record of 26,000,
000 feet in 1911. This splendid show
ing was made possible by the active
oo-operation of railroads, loggers,
campers and land-owners with the
Government rangers and the prompt
ness with which all small blazes
have been located aud put out.
