UNMERGING THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC HE MlSDKOKl) COMMERCIAL Cl.ril diroMors count ly voiced a protest to Attorney Ccncral Mc Rey nolds against the prosecution of the Southern Pacific-Cen tral Pacific dissolution suit virtaully asking hint to sus pend the law in this instance and niaUe an exception to the program of law enforcement in the case of the l.larri nimi lines. The action was taken through sympathy with the rest of the state and at the request of the Portland commercial interests and the state railroad commission, under the im pression that the suit would adversely affect this section. No study or thought was given the subject, hut it was dis posed of offhand. The Southern Pacific company is in reality a compet ing line to the coast with the Central Pacific. The com mon ownership of the two lines stifles competition, is in restraint of trade and therefore a violation of the Sherman law. If tlio Croat Northern and Northern Pacific had to lie unmorirod and the Cnion Pacific ami Southern Pacific had to be separated, no exception, as a matter of equal justice, should be made in the case of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific. The Southern Pacific controls by lease and really owns the Oregon and California line from Portland to the Cali fornia s.tate line. From thence for 'J00 miles south the railroad is the property of the Cent nil Pacific. The latter road owns the Weed-Klanmth-Natron line. The South ern Pacific owns the Eugene-Coos Hay line now in prog ress of construction and has joint ownership with the Santa Fe over the lino being built in California from Wil- lets to Eureka. This division of ownership of the various links of the lTarriman system is duo to frenzied financooring practiced by Coins P. Huntington and associates in an early day and E. If. Ilarritnan and associates later. In actual ownership, the Southern Pacific property is confined to fifteen miles, the balance is in the form of leases of railroads and ownership ot subsidiary compan ies. The method of financing was the same as that em ployed recently in the Frisco system. Its advantages were fortunes to the financiers and higher rates to ship pers through increased interest charges. Though the patchwork ownership lias been financially profitable hitherto, the Southern Pacific now finds itself "hoist on its own petard," aud the railroad must cither do some railroad building or make trackage agreements that will open its tracks to competitors either of which alternatives will be most beneficial to the people of Or egon. . Either the Southern Pacific -must huild a new line south from the Oregon line or operate by agreement over the Central Pacific tracks, which will open them for use by the Hill system and other competing lines. Such agreement would enable the Western Pacific or Gould line to reach Medford. and permit the Pacific & Eastern to invade California. The unmerging will force the completion of the Cen tral Pacifies Weed-Klamath line to Lend, probably as a ioint line with the Oremon Trunk. It will hasten the completion of the latter line to Butte "Falls, as well as the Central Pacific's Natron cut-off to Eugene. Southern Pacific progress on coast lines would also be rushed, botn to Coos Bay and Eureka ami along the coast. No one' need fear that through service between Port land and San Francisco will be discontinued, or that the traveling or shipping public will be marooned or seri ously inconvenienced. The inconvenience will be wholly to the railroads and not to the public The unmerging cannot be other than beneficial to Oreiron bv briinrimr at least a .semblance of competition, as well as inamruratc an era of railroad building, aud our Commercial clubs arc doing a lot of unnecessary worrying at the behest of the Portland chamber of commerce and state railroad commission who want the present traffic conditions continued and till Oregon to keep on paying tribute indefinitely to a few Portland jobbers.

Hundreds of people living in ovory county in the first Congressional i). trlct have never written, telegraphed or asked me to become a candidate for congress. However, bollovlng 'a the principle that If a man wants anything the best way to get It Is to go out after It, and not wait for It to come to him, and holding to t(ie .)y jreii(i(,ut Taft doctrine that under our form of gov ernment It Is no disgrace to seek an office at the hands of tlio people, I thcreforo desire to say that after due consideration and without any mental reservation or undue In fluence, I have docided to become u candidate for congress on the repub lican ticket at the coming primary election. Ilelng a stranger to many of you, (tt the risk of being called an ego tist, 1 am going to toll you some thing about myself in order that you may be able to form an opinion ns to whether I am as well qualified for tho position as other candidates 'vho are seeking tho office First, in order not to try to de cdvo you, must say that 1 have as many faults as tho avcrngo man, and when the campaign begins to warm up the other fellows will tell you all nhoitt them. From first ovldoueo 1 liavo learned that I first opened my eyes In a modest dwelling on a farm near Lawrence, Douglas count, minis, more than n half century ago. My father died when I was eight learn old. and I came to Oregon with my mother In ls7o. and settled upon a homestead in hu Viujiilim Hay country. Two years later my moth er died, and I worked for ranchers and farmers until I was eighteen, going to tho public schools during tho winter months. From 167C to 1813, I worked In tho logging camps, on tho stock rango and at stcamboatlng. From 1803 to 1899, was county clerk of Lincoln county, during which timo I studied law and was admitted to practice In 1897, sluco which timo I havo been In tho aetlvo practice. Represented I'olk and Lincoln counties In tho legislature three terms. Appointed Heglstor of tho L'nltcd States land office nt Itoseburg Decomber 18, 1909, serving four years, Whllo a moinber of tho legislature In 1903, I introduced what was known as tho car shortage or demur rage bill. It was defeated, and lu 1907 I again Introduced it, and be Ing a mouther of tho committee on railroads, got In Incorporated in tlio Railroad Commission III), which bo- tamo a law. At this same session I Introduced and secured the pasaago of a law providing for tho Directors, PareutTeachers' meetings. I also at the sumo session introduced the Jones Vreo Locks Dill, which hecamo a law, appropriating $300,000, con tingent upon the government appro priating a like sum, for the purpoju of building new, or purchasing tho odl locks at Oregon City, and tha operating of the same free to tho people hy the government. Tlio gouvrnnient having failed to appro priate any money for that purpose, at tlio 1009 hobsIoii I again Intro duced a bill continuing tho said ap propriation of $,100,000 for nnother two j earn, contingent upon tho gov ernment making a like appropria tion to purchase tlto hicks. Since hnl t Into the government has ap propriated this sum ami has taken the locks oxer, and navigation on tho Willamette fixer Is now free to all. At tho 1907 senium I Introduced n resolution to proxlde for the amend lug ot tlio constitution to allow women tho right of suffrage, It passed the house, but received only seven votes In the senate Hovxoxer, since that tlnto the progressive vot ers of Oregon htvxe xoted to u I low our mothers, when, daughters and sisters tho right of eiitinl suffrage. and another stake has Imoit set along the lino ot good government. During the Hoi session I Intro duced a hill xvhleli became a laxv, re pealing a runner net of tho legisla ture granting to the Willamette Val ley and Coast Railroad company all the tide mid overflowed lauds on the Alsea. Sltet and Yauulna Ititys. At the cnine session I Introduced a bill appropriating $100,000 to pay tlio Indian War veterans' claims, due for use and toss of horses lu tho In dian wars of Oregon, n debt con tracted by the Oregon Territory nud standing unpaid for oxer fifty years. This hill passed the house hut was killed n tho senate, hut n idmllar bill became a law In the session ot 1913. In 1 90S, upon my own motion and nt my own cost, I commenced stilts against the Wells Fargo and I'nclflc Kxprcss companies of Oregon for a reduction of express rates. Uoth thjae suits were derided In favor of tho shippers, and a reduction of twenty per cent was made lu tho Ore gon rates. During my term as register of the land oflce I worked for the revision of the public land laws lu tho Inter ests of the bona fide homesteaders who were seeking to soltle the wild lands of Oregon. I prepared and had Introduced In the senate nud honso of tho United States a bill pro viding for nn annual six month leave of absence, foe tho purpose of giving tho homesteader nn oppor tunity to earn money with which to llvo on whllo Improving his home stead, and to allow those who had children of school ago an opportun ity to send them to school. This re sulted lu the five months leave of absence law. If olected I shall stand siptarelr Bind fearlessly tor legislation lu the Interests of all" 'the people, for tho Improxemcut of our rlrers nud har bors, for the deepening of tho WIN lamotio river that It may bo nnxl gabte from Cortland to Ktigcne at nil seasons of tho jear, for more nud better roads, for tho amending of and enacting of our public land laws to conform to present' conditions, nud for the stirvcylug and classifying of tho lands lu our forest reserves, that the vast area of grazing aud agricul tural lands may bo oiKiued to settle ment.
