EXCEEDING- THE EXPENSE LIMIT.
THIS United States somite lws found Stephenson of
Wisconsin honestly elected despite the fact that he
spent a quarter of a million for his togn.
The senate has also found that Lorimer was honestly
elected, despite the open and wholesale bribery practiced
and the illegal expenditure of half a million dollars in
buving the seat.
'The senate has numbers of such members, who owo
their election to the use of money or to corporate influence,
or both.
Shall Oregon furnish another such member I
The Oregon corrupt practices act limits the primary
campaign expenditures of a United States senator to
$1125. One candidate is spending many times this amount.
It costs $IJ000 to mail a letter to each voter in the state.
Several letters have been sent by lien Selling to each
oter
Four pages are takon in the state pamphlet by Air.
Soiling at aVost of $-100
Placards with Selling's picture adorn every billboard
and every crossroads in'Oregon at a cost of several thou
sand dollars.
Emisaries and agents, former members of the old
machine, are active traveling about the state in Selling's
interest at a cost of several thousand dollars.
An expensive suite of office rooms is maintained in a
Portland skvscraper as politieal headquarters for My.
Selling. Twenty or thirty stenographers are constantly
employed, and have been for many weeks at a cost of
several thousands of dollars.
A press bureau is maintained, with an eastern Oregon
editor, imported at a fancy salary, in charge. Several
newspaper men find constant employment. The news
paper nearly all contain laudatory articles upon Selling's
candidacy at so much per line all at a cost of several
thousand dollars.
Mr. Selling has evidently set out to buy the seat in the
senate, not by corrupting legislators like other senators,
but by liberal use of money, in open violation of the cor
rupt practices act.
The result will show how much harder it is to buy a
toga under the Oregon system than undcV the old regime
for there is slight chance of Selling's ever sitting alongside
of Lorimer, Stephenson and others elected by the illegal
use of money.
The claim is sometimes made that Selling is not spend
ing his own money.
Lorimer didn't spend his own money, either, but mon
ey was spent in his behalf and it is spent in Selling's behalf-
If Selling is not putting up, who is, and why I
THE RAILROAD'S
THE city Council has requested the Southern Pacific to
clear the right of way between Sixth and Main
streets of the shacks that now disgrace it and make a
beauty, spot out of an eyesore.
Tile Medford Commercial club has also requested- by
formal resolutions, the tiiinsformationiofjthis unlovely.
section into a park and petitioned the Southern Pacific"
to order the tottering buildings that encumber it removed.
The ladies of the Greater .Medford club have requested
by resolutions and petitions, and by. personal interviews
with railway officials, the vacation of these grounds by
firms using them, offering cooperation in beautifying the
grounds.
The University club has requested by resolution Yuitl
petition the parking of this portion of the right of way,
used partially to pile lumber and debris upon.
If an election was held today, the vote against clearing
this section of the right of way would be confined to the
few who are thtj beneficiaries those who originally built
the structures on ground secured rent free for their own
shipping purposes, but are now renting them to other
firms at fat rentals.
The railroad, under new management, has expressed
the desire of finding out what the people want, and pro
viding it. Here is a chance to put in force the new policy.
