If the change is an-'increase it cannot take effect until
approved by the Interstate Commerce commission unless
the commission takes too long on the investigation. . It
can suspend the rate four months for investigation and
make a second suspension of six months so that an in
crease can be held up pending investigation eleven months
after it is filed. In any investigation of rates made after
the first day of this year the burden of proof is on the
railroad to show that the rate is fair instead of on the
shipper to show it is unfair, as was the old law.
It is made a misdemeanor for a railroad representative
to tell a shipper what a rival is shipping or to whom he is
sending it. The bill provides for a commission to be apr
pointed by the president to investigate the subject of
stocks and bonds oi the railroads and other corporations
affected by the law and report to the president on the
best method of controlling and issuing of such securities,
the idea being ultimately to prevent watering of stocks.
.No one district nudge will hereafter be allowed to sus
pend the operation of a state law. An injunction having
that effect can only be issued by at least two of three
judges after hearing the ease, and at least one of the
judges must be a justice of the United States supreme
court or a circuit judge.

NOTHING DOING IN POLICE
COURT WEDNESDAY MORNING
A BITTER fight is being made upon the proposed new
county of Nesmith by Roseburg and Eugene. A
large fund has been raised and is being used in the dis
semination of literature inimical to the secession. In ad
dition two other county division schemes affecting the
same counties have been fathered, in the hope, evidently,
of so bewildering the voters that all three schemes will be
turned down.
Nesmith County comprises a small strip from the
northeastern portion of Douglas County and a strip from
the southeastern portion of Lane County, comprising the
Bohemia mining district and that section of country trib
utary to Cottage Grove. The other proposed divisions,
Williams and Umpqua need not be considered, as they are
evidently 1)linds.
Roseburg and Eugene appeal to the state at large to
squelch Nesmith, claiming that the law permitting the
people of Oregon to' vote for county division is a menace
to "home rule," and that only the counties affected should
bo allowed a voice m the division. Ji this was the case,
there never would be a county division, for the populous
centers, beneficiaries of present conditions, will always
successfully oppose recognition of other localities.
It is the lack of home rule that has made the people of
Nesmith anxious for segregation. Under present condi-
