SENATORS, ATTENTION n A Challeiigo From the Lower House. UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENTS URGED What Will llio Soirato do With tho Facts Here Given? AN AHI.E SPEECH. The ability and earliest nusa of Rep. Miller of Josephitie, iu pre senting House Bill No. 185 on llunl passugu was one of the events of this legislature. The speaker la one of the rising young men of Oregon. He has served his constituents twice before in the fceuate aud twice In tliu house. Hu is one of the largest manufacturers iu the interior of Oregon, entirely dependent upon the railroads for transportation in terests. As shown by the facts fur nished by tho railroad company, Mr. Millet's factory has had the benefit of tho lowest rates, and nil kinds of special rates to help him build up his business. In spite of tho special facilities hu lias been hampered iu his business, delayed in his shipment), discriminated iigaiust by low rato Hhiinnenta from all over the Union, until his business Is 'almost paralyzed, and a large manufacturing business is engaged in a life and death struggle, as 1b forcibly shown by the facts pre sented. All that this bill asks is that Oregon industries be given as fair a chance and as low a rate as are given to industries of other states that come Into this territory to com pete with Oregon capital. THK CHALLKNaU from the house to the senate is that the people of Oregon haven right to this legislation aixl that the senate cannot answer the arguments made iu its favor. If the senate cannot objpet to these arguments its duty is to puss these bills, or be held respon sible to tho peoplo for their defeat. Let the senate answer the arguments to these measures of protection for the peoplo or pass them. It is a re sponsibility to the peoplo that can not be evaded. ui;i millkii's si'i:i:cii. Mr. Speaker. This is a bill to pre vent unjust discrimination against the products of Oregon. Under tho present condition of rates charged by the various railroads doing busi ness in this state, tho products ol other statis of the Union reach the markets of Oregon at an equal rato, aud iu many cases at a less rato than our own products; and it is the pur pose of this bill to give to the Ore gon producer the Oregon market. The transportation affairs of Oregon are in the hands of two great corpor ntlons, neither of which have their head ofilco within the state, and both are moro Interested in the de velopment of other sections of the countrv than In the development of Oregon's Interests The Bouthern Taclllcls earnest and anxious to find a market for tho products of Cali fornia In our state. The Union Pa cific Is equally anxious to proyide a market iu the state of Oregon for tho product) of Eastern Htutes. Neither seems to care for the develop ment of Oregon and manes no effort whatever to nrtrket our products; but seem Interested only iu furnish ing quick transportation aud low rules for all other productH coming Is through husliii'tw. Competition is the great regulator ol transportation rates and Is far more vuluublu in tho development of a country's resources than leglslu Hon, but the physical features of our state are such that we can never ex H'Ct to have a great network of rail roads, which acts as the regulator of 'lie transportation problem In other states. The high mountain barriers make it impossible for extensive railroad building to the various hectlonsof the state. We must, therefore, de peud upon dingle linen of transpor tat ion, aud single corporations large ly for our carrying business. This fact makes It (xttltlvely enscntlul that the state should protect all of Its Interests, and insure Its develop ment by wise legislation controlling all of our traiiHportatlou companies. Thews great corporations have been created by the ntjtte not lor tho pur jKe of doing the mishits of other states, but for the primary object of doing the buslni-w of this mate, aud building up and developing all ot our n-bourca. If they are not doing this they ure violating the wry prln ulple which underlie their creation, Aud It Is to cornjwl them to do the very thing for which the state crmtMl litem that this act U In When thwo p.mpmtiw tf"deJ. bring canned uoods from eastern states to this, cheaper than they transport similar goods for Oregon to the various pouts of the slate; when they bring sheep from Michi gan to Eastern Oregon cheaper than they will take sheep from tho Willamette valley to Eastern Ore gou,when they transport sash aud doors from the Missouri river cheaper than they will take sash and doors from the Rogue River valley to Eastern Oregoti; when they bring various classes of products from Chi cago to Portland at an equal or less rate limn they will carry the same products from Southern Oregon to Portlaud; then it seems to mo, Mr. Speaker, that tho legislature of Ore gon should do its duty( mid say to those corporations you must giyo to the manufacturers and producers of Oregou the Oregon market. Thou it behooves us ns representatives of Hie people of Oregon to say by law that those companies shall no longer Ignore tho Interests of our state; that they shall not by an ar bitrary and and unreasounble rate discriminate- against tho things which Oregou can and will produce. The manufacturers aud producers of other states have great advautages over Oregon in tho lower rato of iuterest on money employed, in tho lower rates of wages, and In tho greater extent of tho market; nil of which enable them to produce in large quantities and at very low rale of cost. And unless we in Oregon cau nave tho adrautagea of tho near ness of our own markot, it will bo impossible to compete with other states aud to develop tho la tout resources surrounding us on ov ory hand. Wo have iron, coal, cop per, nickel, gold, sllver.llme, marble aud stone; grand forests, tremend ous waterpower, and all the ele ments and raw materials which, if utilized, will make us tho grandest manufacturing state iu tho union. In-Hinuch, howover, as wo aio de pendent upon these single lines of transportation, meti of enterprise, skill aud wealth will not enter Into tho development of these resources, unless our laws are such as will pro tect them and their investments. If they have an assurance of theOregon market, and of an opportunity to reach tho open sea nt a reasonable rato that would bo us cheap or cheaper than their competitors, there will no longer bo any hesltauey about such investments in Oregon. Men of brains and wealth will not put themselves and means at the entire mercy of a single Individual or corporation. Rut if the btnto of Orcgn says to them, by Its legislative enactments, "we are your friend and protector," and they can feel that they have behind them tho entiro and earnest support of tho state in their enter prise, they will outer Into tho devel opment of all our resources with au assurance and eneriry that will create a wonderful growth ju every pari of our state. TIiIb bill has been carefully drawn with a vlow to meet these dinicultU'8 aud with no purpose of doing any Injury to tho railroad companies. I would bo tho last man to do the railroads an injustice or lnterfeio with them In their earning a reas onable compensation upon their In vestments. Yet I do not believe in sitting Idly by when they aiuaccum ulatlng wealth to the general detrl-i tnout. of the state. This bill will not nrevent them from earning a fair compensation, while It will add materially to tho growth and devel opment of Oregon. This bill Is, in my opinion, true, equitable and Just, and I Hlncerely hoo It will become a law. Cuming Immigration. There Is every indication that the Immigration to this statu during the coming spring and summer will be of a better class than ever before. Secretary Masten, of the state board of Immigration, Is in receipt of a large number of letters dally Irom people throughout the East and Middle West, more especially the lutter sec tion, who want to know more of this country than the scanty Information glveu in railroad guides. Not only are the Inquiries from farmers, who wish to loaru facts about crops and the price of land; but many letters are received from manufacturers aud other lAirsoiis who desire to make themselves rich by converting our crude resources Into commercial com modities. Many inquiries ure made concern ing the pteneuce aud locution of baser metals and minerals, aud us tho Interested turtle have been In every lujrtauco furnished with com pleteand accurate Ir.furmatlonon the subject, Oregon will probably nee during 1801 tho springing up of numerous establishments for putting In marketable condition such articles oh cement, usbeeU, gypHum, paint, glut and the like. Farmers have already begun arriving from ICansafc, Nebraska, Missouri, Dakota, Okla homa and other itlou of the Ml. nlsklMlp! valley, where the resource of tho soli ami climatic condition!) do not come up to their eXecttt tlon Albany Herald.

Armstrong, of Marion, spoke forci bly in favor of the bill. He said that this was not a matter of Interest to Salem alone but to the entire state. McCraken, of Multnomah, favor od the bill. He said that ho did not believe there were ten men in Mult nomah county who would dissent to the act appropriating the money for the completion of the capltol. Merrltt, of Jackson, spoke against the hill. His argument wuh from a standpoint of economy aud alluded to the heavy expense to which tho state wus thrown for public Improve ments. Coleman of Lane, opposed tho measure, und spoko to that effect. He did not believe it wiih iKillity fr the state to go to this expense at this time. He said If the dome was really needed he would heartily sup port the measure, hut as It wus for looks hu was opposed to the bill Oregon could not afford to exjiend the people's money for luxury. Recti, of Douglas, answered Mr. Coleman In asking him, why he did not come to Hilem und uttetid the legislature wealing a red lluuuel shirt aud overalls with tho bottom of his milts In tho top of his boots If It wus not lor looks V He could get us much comfort and could make just us eloquent Hjeeclies as If he was the best dretmed man In the house. Puquutt, of Clackumas, urged the pasMuuo of the bill. An a inemoor of the committee on ways pud means, who reported this bill, he -hud studied It and wuuted to boo It he- come a law. Geer, of Marlon, spoke for U.o bill and made a strong speech In favor of this moaure.
