In their provisions, and, instead of

vorable with amendments described,
as, thoy doubtless intended, they re
ported back houso bill No. "129,"

the report. Representative Edwards,
ofjLnno, a member of tho houso com

when apprised of tho fact of tho fl'-

-a!ter-whea tho oppowftlerffycVgraat-
Ing tho governor unduo appointing
powor in tho creation of tho commis
sion shows Its hand.
Already thoro has been a serious
and apparently unbrenchablo split In
tho Joint commltteo on railroads of
tho two branches of tho assembly,
notwithstanding it was understood
and glvon out that a compromlso had
boen reached upon tho mannor of
tho creation of tho commission, by
giving tho govornor tho powor of ap
pointing tho original mombors of the
commission, and tho granting of tho
concession of tho railroad that they
should thereafter becomo eloctlvo by
tho people, but at loaBt four mom
bors of tho Joint committed have
"bucked tho trnceB," and havo UnoJ
up to fight it out to tho bitter end
beforo thoy will concodo a singlo
pplnt. Thoso four nro Jones of Pell:
nnd Lincoln, Holt of Linn and King
of Harney and Malheur, of tho houso,
and Senator Nottingham of Multno-
inuii, oi mo sonnio, ana mo entire
blame for tho bolt Is heaped upon
tho shoulders of Senator Notting
ham. It has been understood all- along
that Representative Jones was stand
ing out strong for leaving tho ap
pointing power in tho hands of tho
state board, and would not give In
,to tho will of tho majority to give
jt.he govornor tho exclusive right to
namo mo ursc commission,, out it
was announcod that a compromise
bad been reached to tho effect that
the governor should be permitted to
name the personnel of the commis
sion first off, and then mako tho mem
bershlp oloctlvo, as follows; The
term of one member to expire in
1908 and tho other two In 1910, anl
it was expected that a report to this
effect would bo handed in on Mon
day. . Such Is not to bo the case, how
ever, since Jones, King and Holt
have prepared a majority report of
the bouse committee, find havo al
ready passed it Into tho desk amend
ing the first section of tho bill to pro-
I vide for tho appointment of tho com
I mission by the state board, governor,
secretary of state and stato treasur
er, one from each of tho two con
gressional districts and other from
I tho stato at large; not more than two
ui iuu tuuiuiisaiuuers 10 do 01 one ,iu
llitlcal party; two to go out and the
i vacancy filled by election by the peo
ple In 1908 and the third in 1910.
In preparing this report, however,
the members of the committee got
Senator Bingham's bill, senate bill
No. 129, confused with Chapin's bill,
Bose bill No. 2, wakh are Identical
ft&Bntll mohut when-ho lnBlBlt
ed thnt'. two of tbcm inuat bo nllowcd
to hold until 1910, I agreed with oth
er Republican members of tho houso
that ho was, asking too much, nnd
thnt I would stay with thorn In cur
tailing that power.
"I havo agreed with Mr. Teal, Mr.
Chapin and Mr. Gcorgo M. Corn
wall and other advocates of tho bill
on Its main principles, but I diffor
with them on tho details. Thcso gen
tlomon do not think thevpcoplo cau
bo trusted I do. I havo abiding
faith In tho wisdom and Integrity of
tho Republican party, I havo fought
Its battles for 33 years and havo
novor been ashamed of It. I will do
what I can to protect It now from
falling Into tho trap set by Its ono
mles. I am for tho Chnpln bill. It
must bo passed by Republican votes.
It ought to bo executed by Republi
can hands and brains. If that bo
treason, call mo guilty." .
