TOE REBELLIOUS COMMISSION
" . i .
ACCORPiNGkWtU$ PoVtlaud prfpdi-d the railroad com
mission is in open rebellion against its creatorthe
nnrmln in its threift to thwart tho will of the people ill
the cshi))li8lnnent ob their rate policy in the recently
adopted freight rate bill.
iVom the irocorcl ot the commission it. is disclosed (his
opeir rebellion Isasbeen its secret opposition to the will or
Ihe people for some time down to tho latest im
iwrtant case tried bofoiv it in July this year. K
W. Gaines, appearing boforo the commission nili)07
narrates a flasrant. abuse of the rights of the people,
and in case F-203, the Sumpter Valley railway log rate
case, discloses that the commission acted in tho capacity of
attorney for the railroad and prepared testimony which
the dofendant used in lieu of its own.
Attorneys for -complainants assert that the transcripts
of-ttomo of its cases appear "doctored" in that witnesses
are limacw say xiic opposite ol wnat umy uiu sa.v, stipula
tions Of attorneys are omitted from the l-ccord, and the
Xover of attorney conferred by plaintiff is eliminated.
And now that a majority vote of the people determine
iiioii a rate poncy, wnicn inciiueKsuiiu eollnlu,.l. tuiiiiuia
sion publicly states the people havo a perfect right to state
what rate policy they snail adopt, so long as the carriers
receive a fair return upon their property, and the very rate
policy adopted by the people has tho endorsement of the
interstate commerce conunissioiij the people's railroad
commission declare publicly it will thwart their will and
overthrow their law.
Are the people going to stand for such action from their
servants?
The. Orcgonian says "the bill -was plainly written in
that it did not carry a 'joker'." This is an absolute state
ment of the truth. Every rate that needs to be changed
Under the provisions of the measure can be revised and
established by every railroad in the state in less than 10
days.
'The commission in its orders P-179 and 1M80, issued
JYcbrnarv. 1912, merclv fixed tho first class rate and then
prescribed percentages for the otlier nine classes. Tlie mil
hecords to the method. Most of the listed articles in the
classification are now provided with minimum carload
weights fixed by the railroads themselves, and the remain
ing articles win readily belike wise provided with minimum
weights, and as all the articles arc now provided with less
than carload ratings, the bill itself automatical!' provides
the carload rates, hence there is no involved work entailed.
All of the first class rates now in use by the railroads
are either fixed by the commission or permitted by it,
therefore all that is necessary to revise the class rate
schedules is to apply the percentages stated in the bill to
the remaining classes. Tho special rates now applying on
grain, livestock, lumber, and .like products are less than
the maximum rates prescribed by the'bill, hence these arc
not affected and require no (revision or change, Jior were
such xates changed by the orders of the commission men
tioned above, when it fixed the
of percentages.
It is now up to the people
their rebellious commission,
opposition and harrassmenb of attorne3's of various com
plaining communities sent to conduct their cause before
the commission, these attorneys out of self-respect can no
longer appear in their behalf.
The Baker circuit court has already established a pre
cedent (whereby justice may be secured by civil action in
the inatteivof excessive rates, and as the freight rate bill
of tthe people is independent in its operation of the railroad
wmmwsionptlie,people may have to resort to the civil court
fbx 'justice. ) !.i
Ilf JUaTICI TO THE UNIVERSITY
A GROSS' injustice, has been done by the people of Or
gone to the state university at Eugene.
The millage bill, which would have taken both the uni
versity and agricultural college out of politics by providing
fixed income, for both institutions Under a common board
of regents, was defeated.
The university appropriations made at the hist session
of the legislature, were held up by fraudulent referendum
petitions, which, contained forged signitures, mythical
names and the list of the dead,' and both appropriations
defeated.
The holding up of the needed funds of the university
have crippled it badly for the past two years. It is up to
the legisluturejto pass needed applanations at once with
the emergency clause attauhed to relieve .the situation.
Either that or slaughter the university as it slaughtered
the normal schools.
There was no campaign made for the millage bill. It
was opposed by those who favored a single state institu
tion, as well as by opponents of higher education, and ap
pearances are that it was secretly fought by the Oregon
-agricultural gouege, wiucii uy piuyiug a superior game ol
politics has been fattened while the university starved.
All those reactionaries who oppose all expenditures, as
well as those ignorant of the true-meaniug of the bill,
voted to keep the state educational institutions a log to be
rolled through legislative sessions demoralizing legislation.

After reading tho public state
ment of this representative citizen ot
Aicdford givon below, you must como
to this conclutlen: A remedy which
proved bo boneflclal years ago with
the kidneys, can naturally ho ex
pected to perform the samo work in
similar cases. Head this:
Mrs. J. II. Oaussum, Coutral ave
nue, iledford, Ore., says: "I was so
bad with kidney trouble that I could
not do by housework. My back was
weak and painful and In tho morning
when I got up, I was lame and sore.
The kidney secretions were unnatural
and my health steadily ran down un
til I was hardly able to got about.
Wbilo in that condition, I read about
Doan's Kidney Pllla nnd got n box.
I felt better front the tlmo I com
menced using them and It was not
long beforo I was cured. I am In a
position to recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills to anyono afflicted with
kidney complaint." (Statement
given September 14, 1007.)
Jtc-i:ndoreiricnt
When Mrs. Uapssum was Inter
viewed several years later, alio said:
"My former endorsement of Doan's
Kidney Pills still holds good. Since
this remedy cured mo I have had no
further attacks of kidney complaint
and I have enjoyed good health,"
