FAR-REACHING PROGRAM OF THE OREGON-IDAHO
DEVELOPMENT CONGRESS.
This organization has secured the co-operation of the leg
islative departments of the two states named, in a program
f railroad development,
f They secured submission to a vote of the people of an
amendment to the constitution providing for state and district
built railroads.
' In securing the adoption of that amendment to the consti
tution the following named Portland gentlemen appeared be
fore the Oregon legislature and made arguments showing the
urgent necessity for the railroad amendment:
William MacMaster. M. G. Munly.
W. B. Ayer. C. F. Adams.
Herman Wittenberg. Ed Ehrman.
A. H. Devers. J. A. Keating.
C. E. S. Wood. F. S. Stanley.
J. N. Teal. A. M. Drake.
Henrv Hahn. C. S. Jackson.
They represent some of the largest financial, manufactur
ing, commercial and professional firms of that city,
This Development Congress next went before the Idaho
legislature and secured the enactment of the Idaho district
built railroad law.
That law was drafted by the ablest lawyers in the state of
Idaho and is modeled after the irrigation district statute which
has been upheld by the supreme court,
I he Idaho district railroad law provides that a district may
be created by petition just like an Irrigation or drainage dis
trict, for the construction of a railroad.
After the district Is formed the proposed railroad is sub
mitted to a vote of the people owning property in the district,
If a majority of the property-owners so decide, all the lands
in the district, in proportion to the benefits derived, are as
sessed for the construction of the railroad through the district.
Three directors or trustees are chosen by the property
owners of the dlstriot to survey, locate and construct the pro
posed railroad,
If the people of the district prefer, the district can Issue
bonds to build tho proposed railroad, the entire financing and
construction being placed in the hands of the directors elected
from the body of the d'strict.
If the railroad Is built It can be leased to a railroad system
of which it forms a branch, upon terms satisfactory to the
district,
Under this plan of a district-built railroad a torritory ten
milos wide and fifty miles lone needing a railroad to market
its products can build that railroad out of its own resources
and upon its own credit if it sees fit.
No property-owners land can bo included In this district
without his consent, after a hearing in court,
Undor tho Idaho law a district having 200,000 acres of land
worth $10 an acre without a railroad can build a railroad
through it at a cost of $1,000,000.
Tho producitve lands of that district would advance to $30
an acre, which is a low price,
Tho owners of the lands would have doubled the value of
their proporty, and own the railroad besides.
Owning tho railroad and leasing it at a good rontnl price,
tlioy would probably novor havo To pay any interest on the
bonds, but would derive a revenue besides,
Two immense advantages will accrue to the land-ownors
under tho Idaho district railroad law: First, the entire exponso
of building tho railroad through their lands will be added to
the value of thoir own proporty, as well as all future Increase
in the value of tho railroad.
Second, that thoy will always bo In a position to control
freight and passengor ratos ovor tho road in thoir own terri
tory, In place of tho land advancing from $10 to $30 an acre
as tho result of building a railroad under this law in Idaho, it
is more than likely that the land will advanvo to from $50 to
$100 per acre along such a railroad.'
Tho bonds on such a district railroad will be better than
any other ra'lroad bonds because they have not only the rail
road and Its earning power for socurity, but behind those bonds
is tho entire population and wealth of the district,
Tho Oregon amendment to tho constitution proposed by th's
Development Loaguo would authorize the people to enact a
similar law In Oregon if it works well in Idaho.
Not only tho legislative power of the two commonwealths
Is present behind tlio development program, but the executive
powor has boon enlisted,
Tho governors of tho two states were requested by this
congress to name highway commissions of prominent citizens,
who are to take up the details and work out the problems of
state and district-built railroads.
Governor Chamhfirlaln hflfnra eoinff in atkp. his sfini In tho
U, S, Senate named the following highway commission to col-'
lect statistics and report data to the next legislature thruogh
the executive department:
A. H. Devers, Portland,
Drake C. O'Reilly, Portland,
Wm. Grimes, Marshfield,
C. F. Siwegrt, Portland,
Geo. W. Putnam, Medford,
Julian C. Byrd, Burns,
G. W. Baldwin, Klamath Falls,
Governor Brady of Idaho, acting upon the resolution adopted
at the Boise Congress, .has named the following similar com
mission to report to him through the legislature of that state:
Geo. C. Shellenberger, Boise,
Will H.. Gibson, Boise,
Karl Paine, Boise,
Frank R. Gooding, Gooding,
J. R. Numbers, Welser,
B. M. Holt, Caldwell,
Pnrkfir V. Limns, finnrmll.
These two commissions of prominent and public men, know
ing the needs ot the two commonwealths tor better transpor
tatoin facilities will not only collect data and report statistics
but are authorized to recommend further legislation and desig
nate such portions of the two states as in their opinion require
railraod construction,
The Oregon-Idaho Development Congress has a big task
before it, of arousing the people to every possible means of
self-help, of showing them the way to go to work to secure
the needed legisaltion required to accomplish results.
This congress has not only adopted a far-reachnig pro
gram of deveolpment, enlisting the public-spirited men of both
states In this work, but proposes to deliberately ut'lize the
entire executive and judicial powers of two great common
wealths to further its ends,
