Twenty years after its creation the Interstate Commerce Commission is described as now the most important body in the United States. Its rulings and recommendations are said to compel the largest corporations to heed the cries of the oppressed.
In Oregon two United States senators were elected on the first ballot. The death of William G Hunter robs Union county of an enterprising citizen whose place in commercial circles will not be easily filled. The Observer publishes the proposed new charter in full and urges readers to study and suggest improvements before submission to the council or people.
The piece argues that after years of effort Oregon shifted Senate selection from state legislature to the people, predicting other states will follow. It condemns the Senate for blocking reform, cites corporate resistance, and foresees long-term constitutional change nationwide.
