Mr. Huiinoii has been nhHont the great

tjie people re-elected him. Now we
are jinked to rrento u place for an

islaluro is Senator Malnrkey's bill extending tho
VT 1 .1 i il. .. ... J. 1 1 n 11 I
im'j oi nit' mosi jnoniorious measures oeiore tnc ieir-
powor oi' the state railroad commission to include super
vision of all iublic service corporations. Passago of the
measure was urged in the messages of retiring Governor
Bowerman and Governor West, but it is being opposed by
a portion of the Portland delegation, who favor the crea
tion oi a public service commission for the city oi Portland
alone.
While the latter commission would provide fat salaries
for a new board, it would afford no relief for the rest of the
state. Public service corporations are doing business in
WL'vy city in Oregon and the people of towns other than
Portland are entitled to protection and relief as much
as the people ol Portland.
There is no public service corporation doing business in
rortland alone, except perhaps the gas company. The
street railway, the light and power, the telephone, tele
graph and railroad companies all operate outside of the
metropolis, hence municipal regulation would only half
fijl the bill and it becomes a subject for state, not mu
nicipal regulation.
Public service regulation in most states is modeled
along (he lines pioneered by Lafollette in Wisconsin, and
nowhere has it been found practical to limit regulation to
one city alone. lUven in New York, where, there might
be an excuse for municipal regulation, there are but two
hoards m the state, oik; lor tho northern and the other for
the southern districts, each of them comprising several
cities much larger than Portland.
Creation of a municipal board would increase taxation,
result in duplication of records, and a conflict in authority,
aiid work a hardship not only upon the corporations, but
upon the people themselves. '
Public utilities privately owned in all cities of Oregon
should be under control of the state commission, both as a
means of protection to the public and the corporations
themselves an arbitrary enforcement of the "square
deal" to all affected.

To the Editer: 1 feel that iitu.st
scud you my commendation of your
recent editorial on the change of
location of tlio S. P. tracks. This
is a matter which should be pushed at
tins iimo until it is Drought to .i
successful conclusion.
Last summer 1 had as u visitor
prominent Colnmdo editor, lie was
much pleased with our valley mid
Willi Medford but one point bo dwelt
upon was the imfortiuiate pluciii of
(ho S. P In bis opinion the develop
ment of tho (own would be icatly
hindered by this culling in two and
he advised, a do you, that immediate
sleps be lakcn to lemedy this veiy
apparent defect. We have already
seen u billcr rivalry row between
the "east side" und the "west side"
which has resulted in mis-placing the
new federal building and us time xncs
oil this is sure to be iiitensihed with
the corresponding loss ol cfticiciiev
for a urentcr Medl'oid.

is iiiiarantce to the "west siders,"
