plaint did not llo against tho law
makers for making too many laws on
transportation, as there was not n
Btltch or railroad law In the Mat
utory garment with which tho com
monwealth wnq clothed at present.
If tho legislature would not act, the
people had still tho powor to tnltlntc.
Q. A. Wcstgate was made secre
tary. C. B. Sox moved a committee
on resolutions of flvd. Tiro chair
named C. B. Sox. of Albany; Thos.
, H. Campbell, of Cottngo Grove; Geo.
M. Cornwall, of Portland; T. J. Mil
ler, of Albany; J. G. Grnham, of n
lem. ' .
I Governor Chamberlain waa now
Introduced and discussed Oregon
waterways. This convention showed
how great was tho Interest In hotter-
lng transportation conditions. Ore
gon no longer occupied n second
placo In tho rnco for development.
Tho people woro gottlng together
to exploit the resources of Oregon as
novor Wore. Tho atato was filling
up with prosperous and enterprising
citizens. Ho said watorwnys wero a
greator regulator of ratos than all
tho laws enacted by stato legisla
tures or congress.
Ho cited that delayed action by
congress had compelled tho stato to
build n llttlo portngo railroad. Con
gress then got a movo on and built
tho canal and locks, and 'It had saved
$7,000,000 to tho producers of the
stato. That was a good Investment
for this stnto to make.
Again tho legislature had appro
priated $1G5,000 to build another
portago road, with tho reBUlt thut
tho government hns decided to build
a pormanont cnno.1 around tho rap
Ids, and reducing freight rates for
all EaBtorn Orogon.
