WISCONSIN SENATOR
La Folleue in Every Way tlie Ixigical
Successor to Roosevelt He Is Ag
gressive unci Tearless and Has
studied the Railroad Question Energetically.
Lents, P. O.. Portland, Ore.,
April 1, 1908..
(Editor East Oregonian.) The re
cent speeches in the United States
senate of Senator La Follette have
aroused the whole cquntry. In at
tacking the Imperfections of our fi
nancial system, Senator La Follette
caused a rattling among the dry bones
of the senate chamber not unlike the
disturbance kicked up when Roose
velt goes aboard with "the big stick."
In temperament. Ideas and methods,
La Follette more closely resembles
Roosevelt than any other man in pub
lic life today. Both are fearless and
aggressive. Both are masters of con
structive legislation.
Roosevelt has administered the
government while at the same time
securing needed legislation from con
gress. For three successive terms La
Follette, as governor of Wisconsin, ex
ecuted laws in the face of the most
powerful opposition and Induced the
legislatures of his state to enact such
statutes as were needed.
An adjustment between the rela
tions of the government and the large
business interests of the country has
been commenced by President Roose
velt. It is of the greatest Importance
that in such adjustment wise and ef
ficient laws be enacted by congress
that will insure on the one hand the
safeguarding of all legitimate busi
ness Interests and on the other the
requisite federal control and super
vision to prevent, and, if need be, to
punish overreaching and dishonest
business methods.
The great work of the next admin
istration will tie the enactment of
wise and effective laws to carry out
those policies so well begun, and will
be legislative rather than adminis
trative in character. The country Is
more vitally interested nt present, for
Instance, in federal control of rail
way rate.s lhan it Is In the latest
method of governing the Philippines.
Certainly In this state transportation
U of the utmost Importance.
The pooling of the railroads has
stopped railroad development in this
state and has killed competition In
transportation rates. Even the
steamboat lines on the rivers have
come under the dictation of the rail
roads. knm- tin- Railroad.
As seen by his speech In the senate
the other day, Senator La Follette
thoroughly understands the generali
ties and technicalities of the railroad
problem. He dealt with It in Wiscon
sin and gave that state the best set
of laws, all rigidly enforced, covering
transportation matters that are in ex
igence In this country.
La PolletU renewed his plea for an
official valuation of railroads, so that
the people can find out what taxes
they ought to pay, and what rates
if freight are reasonable. This Is a
proposition that must necessarily
(um- to the front In the United State
as La Follette pressed It to the front
In Wisconsin.

sentiment of the average citizen of
Oregon when It said:
"The people have a right to know
the value of railroads; and the peo
ple's specified, expert officials, the
I interstate commerce commission.
I should have the right and power to
' ascertain this value, and. to Judge
; therefrom as to reasonable rates. This,
also, would be helpful to assessors In
I fixing valuations."
lm Follette the Man.
The people want nothing but what
Is right and fair In these matters.
They do not want to cripple or harass
the railroads, nor the big financial In
stitutions; but they do want, and will
Insist upon Information, knowledge
and power of regulation and control.
La Follette stands forth conspicu
ously and notably as the people's
champion In these respects. He Is not
a mere dreamer or theorizer, but he
Is a man who has worked out his
ideas to a practical conclusion In
Wisconsin, and the people there have
the fruits of his work In their pock
ets. In their homes, and In their t
brains.
Why not give to La Follette the
chance to do for the United States
what he did for his own state of Wis
consin? Why not send a delegation
to the republican national convention
Instructed to use every fair means to
secure his nomination?

ly cut down the death roll. j.
That the machine politicians of
Oregon are not alone In their organ
ized effort to defeat the popular
election of United States senators, la
shown by the following editorial
from the Yakima Republic giving a
brief review of the senatorial situa
tion In Washington.
The Ankeny push apparently con
templates doing all that it can to
nulllfyy the law which alms so far as
possible to give the people of this
state a chance to elect tho United
States senator.
For many years Indeed, ever since
the senate became the stronghold of
the "Interests" of the country the
people have sought to devise a meth
od of selecting senators by popular
vote. The senate, which seems to
care very little for the desires of the
people, quite naturally refuses to be
a party to the submission of a consti
tutional amendment. '
Various schemes have been resorted
to by the people to get back this
right to elect senators. One of them
Is the scheme which Is a part of the
new direct primary law of this state,
and the only part that Is a genuine
and useful reform.
Our primary law says that candi
dates for the itate legislature may. if
they desire, file with their declara
tions pledges that they will, if elected
vote for the candidate of their party
for United States senator receiving
the highest popular vote.
It does not provide that tiny must
do this, for that would be unconsti
tutional. It merely gives men who
ask for the suffrages of the people
a chance to say that they will do as
the people want them to do In case
they are elected; and the presump
tion is thut honest men will be glad
to make a promise of that kind.
The law provides for putting the
names of the senatorial candidates on
the official ballot.
If the candidates pledge themselves
and at the ensuing session of the
legislature fulfill their pledges, the
man whom the people want will be
elected senator on the first day of the
joint session.
As we predicted months ago, soon
after Mr. Jones became a candidate,
the old crowd of politicians, most of
whom are pretending to be for An
keny, but are. as a mutter of fact,
after the spoils and the rewards, of
political manipulations, are against
thut pledge.
They advance all kinds of reasons
why a candidate should not take It,
and propose all kinds of substitutes
for It.
' The other day an Ankeny leader In
Soattle frankly told the editor of this
paper that he would use the best ef
forts to secure an Unpledged delega
tion from King county, and he said
that many other republican leaders In
that county would Join In this at
tempt. A dispute!) In yesterday's Times,
ostensibly from Olympla, states that
a movement for an unpledged legis
lature will be general, as it Is strong
ly feared that in the event there Is B
large democratic minority In the
legislature, the unpledged holdover
senators may hold up the legislature
and make the choice of a senator Im
possible. That, of course, is a pre
text. The arguments for a popular de
termination of the senatorial question
are overwhelming No man can buy
a seut In the senate under this sys
tem. The legislative business of the
session will not be Interfered with
by senatoral politics, because there
will be none. Bartering of public
offices for legislators' votes will cease.
The senatorial political machine will
be wiped out. Corporate Influence
In our state politics will be largely
destroyed, and business and political
Ideals will be elevated to Just that extent.
