Judge Grosscup of the United States Circuit Court, In delivering the annual commencement address at the I'nlverslty of Iowa, seemingly went farther toward government control of trusts than Elbert Gary, the head of the steel trust, had gone In his tes timony before the House committee. But tills Is more apparent than real, f,ays the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. As his address Is reported, Judge Grosscup proposed only the govern ment power to regulate trust divi dends. He proposes "To recognlre combination and monopoly as some thing necessarily here square the law to that fact and then, as a con dition to granting corporate power at all, reserve the right to regulate divi dends." He wag opposed to the ex ercise of a government right to con trol and fix prices, claiming that such work must of necessity be Indirect and Inexact, controlled by party prejudice or Individual Interests in government, and accordingly subject . to violent fluctuation. All of these objections lie, how ever, against the regulation of divi dends as much as against the regula tion of prices. Judge, Gary's plan of government regulation aid not stop with the regulation of prices, while Judge Grosscup's does apparently stop with the regulation of dividends. If trusts are well regulated and their prices kept within reasonable bounds by government rupervlsion, their own ers should be entitled to make all of the profit they can under such reg ulation and control. Should gross profits or net profits grow too large, the government could reduce them by reducing prices, but we can see no reason for placing an arbitrary limit on profits in advance. The intelli gence and enterprise which can earn large profits under honest govern ment control and price making, would be entitled to what they could earn until earnings grew excessive. As be tween these two plans, the Gary plan is to be preferred. . NEWSPAPER DECENCY. It is not all probable that a news paper of the character of the Port land Daily News will be conscious stricken over the tragic death of Chief David Campbell, of the fire depart ment For weeks that publication has made vicious attacks on Campbell, without foundation, purely to stir up public sentiment to a point where an Indign ant people would take his dismissal quietly, after Mayor Rushlight steps in I with $9,195,734 for increase In 1909 Last Saturday the News contained a 1 and $7,730,107 for increase in 1908. particularly vituperous slander of ; SeVeral millions of dollars of divl Chief Campbell, charging him with in- dendg Wre applied for the purchase competence and going back six years ; of annulties and paid-up additions to for an illustration for its rotten story.

THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA. IMween the insurgents, the Demo crats and the stand patters the Senate of the United States has ceased to be a law-making body, and the extra session, called by the President for an avowed purpose, may run into the reg ular session next December, without accomplishing any real legislation for the g'jod of the public. WKy a Bank Draft? No recovery is possible when money sent unregistered through the mail Is lest, stolen or destroyed. A draft has many advantages over Express and Postofficj orders. Some of them are: Cashed willingly by any bank anywhere. Received at par by bank 1 and business houses May be endorsed and transferred without limit If lost, duplicate issued promptly and without "red tape." No written application neceuary. Issued for any sum. Exchange charges lets than on Express or Postoffice orders. When sending money to any point in ti.is or foreign countries, buy a draft at TTie Bank of Oregon City THE OLDEST BANK IN THE COUNTY The Democrats cry for free wool, yet they refuse In Congress to take the tariff from wool. The Insurgents howl for a reditu tion In tariff, yet they decline In Con gress to remove the tariff from wool Th tnnd natters, so-called, are tickled to shirk party responsibility, and point to the union of Democrats and Insurgents as a reason why the Republican party should not be held responsible for failure to act. This Is. Indeed, a pretty situation We are proud of our Senate not. It Is high time that popular elec tion of senators should put an end to this sort of bickering at the public expense. LIFE INSURANCE FACTS. In Oregon City In 1910 there was paid In life Insurance claims $26,000 nd in the state of Oregon $1,450,000, Louis Jaggar, of Portland, formerly of this cltv, had life Insurance amount ing to $10,000, and the largest policy holder to die In 1910 was Slgmund Frank, of Portland, who was Insured for $S0,0O0. I !f Ineiirnnce OrcatlizatlonS Of the United States and Canada dls tributed $563,440,000 in 1910. accord ing to computations by The Insurance Press. The payments In the two countries to beneficiaries for deatli claims, matured endowments and oth er benefits under the policies of level premium companies and the certifi cates of various life Insurance organ izationsassessment and the like amounted to $381,440,000. The esti mated total of the amounts paid by regular companies in dividends to policyholders, for surrender values, to annuitants, and on claims In foreign countries was $182,000,000. Summation of life insurance pay ments of all kinds in 1910: Claims paid in the United States and Canada.... $381,440,000 Payments for dividends and for surrender val ues and to annuitants and foreign policyhold eds (estimated) 182,000,000 Grand total $363,440,000 Along all lines of benefits under policies death claims, endowments and dividends the transactions of the regular life insurance companies con tinued to increase last year, under the normal conditions that prevailed. New insurance for more than $2,600,000,000 of protection was written, and, after the policy-account deductions, the In surance in force showed an Increase of nearly $1,000,000,000. An Indication of normal business conditions In 1910, according to life insurance records In the New York In surance department, where 90 per cent of the Insurance in force throughout the country must be accounted for, was the decrease of disbursements for surrendered, lapsed and purchased policies. The amount of the decrease was about $187,000, compared with $3,059,000 for increase in 1909 and '$14,543,000 for increase in 1908. j For policyholders who were able to ; hold their protection throughout the 1 year dividend payments were Increas- ed largely. The record of dividends ' paid by the companies that reported in New York showed an increase to !the amount of $10,839,572, compared policies ($72,837,008). HAS IT COME TO STAY? With potatoes selling for $2.50 a sack, and green peas, string beans and many other commodities going sky high, the man of moderate means and the housewife are wondering how to economize to a point where they shall be able to meet the bills of the grocer and the butcher. It seems to be apparent that the high cost of living has come to stay. We have poured out our woes about it for several years, and no good has been done, and it is a safe conclusion that conditions will never change to the point where the cost of existence will be materially less than it is at the present time. Optimism is all right in its place, and the pessimist should not be given room to voice his wail, but every sit uation affecting our pocketbooka should be looked lu the face and met squarely. This U the manly ad wo manly and sensible way. Conditions are no better In the West than In the East, and In some cases they are not so good. Generally speaa lug (he cost of living Is higher here ihan in most of the Eastern states, but on the other hand wnges are much higher and people can better afford to pay the Increased price. The slo gan of "back to th farm" Is good, and sounds sweeter every day. Secretury of State Olcott Is entitled to praise for his determined stand against the tipping evil. The Oregon Ian sayg Olcott Is straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel, but the Sec retary will find It harder to swallow a camel If he strains at every gnat that cornea his way. The maxim of saving pennies and letting the dollars take care of themselves Is well borne out In this Instance. Tipping Is un American In principle, but Americans have eucouraged the practice until It has become almost a rule from too much usage. Why should the public service corporations and the money- making hotels and restaurants not pay their employes a decent wags, and why should their patrons be obliged to pay a high rate for what they re ceive and then bestow a gratuity be sides? Chautauqua opens at Gladstone Park next Tuesday morning. This Is the Fourth of July and there will be a verv entertaining program, no llfht feature of which will be the alleged game of baseball between the teach ers and the lawyers, doctors and preachers. Three professions ougnt to have an advantage over the ped agogues, but It should not be forgot ten that teachers are accustomed to whipping the other fellow, and they will no doubt try to keep up their practice. Chautauqua this year of fers prime attractions for 13 days and many families will enjoy an outing by placing their tents under the big trees In the cool and shady groves. Such a combination of vacation and entertainment Is Beldora found and should be eagerly seized when so easily available. Oregon City is one of the few towns In Oregon that has a postal-savings bank. With no little foreign popula tion, it is to be expected that thous ands of dollars is hid away In stock ings and that much of this money win find Its way into the government de pository. There Is absolutely no rea son why anyone should distrust the banks of Oregon City. There is no city In the state "with sounder financial Institutions. But there are always some timid people, who will trust their money to no one unless It be the Gov ernment and the deposits- will show just what the true condition Is. The news columns of the dally news papers are full of nauseating testi mony about the election of Senator Lorimer. One Edward Hines seems to have been quite a senatorial mani pulator. He Is reported to have said: "Lorimer must be elected. Don't leave anything undone. I will be down on the next train with afT the money needed." The wonder fa in the face of such testimony as this that there is even a chance of Lori mer retaining his seat. The hard working Oregon editors are going to have a "jinks" of their own at Portland, September 21-23. These meetings have never been very profitable. We suggest that hereafter the Oregon Editorial Associaion meet at the various towns of the state, in stead of always going to Portland. For example, go to Eugene this year, Salem the following year, then to Baker. Grants Pass, Medford and scores of other places where the peo ple would be glad to see the "pencil pushers." Last Sunday was the anniversary of the death of Grover Cleveland, who passed in 1908. Eight years as Presi dent, Cleveland represented the high est type of American statesmanship. There wag a man with back-bone, who had the courage of his convictions. He served his country well. He refused to compromise upon questions of na tional honor, even at the sacrifice of harmony in his party and time has vindicated his position. All the wisdom of Portia may welljihe following being their important be accorded to Judge Lummus, of j iv m uhr. a man v,0 .1 perfect right, to get drunk on his birthday.

RAILWAY REPORT IS MADE 10 CLUB CLACKAMAS SOUTHERN WORK FULLY EXPLAINED AT BIO SMOKER. CONGRESSMEN CALLED INACTIVE Commercial Club Votes To Urgt Rep resentatives To Work For Bill Providing For Dredging of River. Intense Interest on tin prt of tboso present marked the Commercial Club smoker Thursday night (o consider the feasibility of building a public dock and providing hitching posts lor the use of farmers. The Clackamas Southern railway project, however, drew the attention of those present to a greater degree than either of the other matters that were up for dis cussion. The report of the commit lee ap pointed by the governors of the club to investigate the matter of a public dock and hitching posts aroused much discussion The commit toe reported that a strip CO feet wide from the south line of Eleventh street to the north line of Twelfth street was ac cessible and could be Improved by the city and suggested that the Ore gon Construction Company was ready to erect a dock at that point for the public use if the company would be given the free use of it. Objection Made To Report. The estimated cost of Improving Water street for the distance specified in the report was $1,000 to $1,500. The first objection raised by the report was voiced by George Randall, who said that "before we have the Public dock tho Clackamas rapids ought to be dredged out." The second came from W. S. U'Ren who wanted to know why the Oregon Construction Company should be granted the right to build and operate the docks and who composed the Oregon Construc tion Company. The objections were met by Mr. Moffett cf Moffett & Parker and Frank llusch. Mr. Busch said that this was the first time any person or corpora tion had. come out publicly and offer ed to build and operate a public dock; that the I'nlted States engineers who surveyed the rapids last fall had re ported favorably to the government on the prooosltlon of dredging the rapids and that all that was needed was to prod the representatives In Washington and have the work of construction taken up through the reg ular channels. Schuebel Favors Report. "The question of a Public Dock for Oregon City has beeu up for the last ten years." said C. Schuebel. "Ore gon City has no dockage facilities. Considering the Impossibility of get- tine the city to build and that tne city can without encroaching on any ! one s rignt grant tne ngnt to me com- the olnPr defendants claim some In pany to build and operate the dock. I terest in the property held under the the report ought to be accepted and ; m,)rtBage. the council urged to grant the right to the company." - I During the discussion, the agitation for a public dock for Portland was 1 brought up, and the statement made that Portland seemed to be In a fair! way of acquiring the necessary water-! front property and building In the near j future. ' ' The report was finally amended urging the city to build the dock and make the necessary improvement of Water street as the dock would be useless without the street to give access to the dock. I'p to this point in the discussion the matter of hitching posts seemed to nave been forgotten until Dr. Carll brought it up. Dr. Carll called at tention to the rail on Eighth street by the court house and urged that the council be asked to examine the law forbidding hitching posts and erect others in various parts of the clt. Owners Offer Property. The committee then reported that there was not a property owner from ! from Seattle, and besides getting hlin the woolen mill on the south to j n trouble with the authorities, had Busch's store on the north who would I abused his confidence In other ways, permit the erection of posts or rails ( jtalp Ackeley, the Portland business in front of his property. This state- man, who Is wanted here for speeding, ment evoked immediate response. Mr. t telephoned' Chief Shaw Friday morn Larsen, of Ijirsen & Company offered , (,, that it was not he who had vlo the use tf 100 feet front on Tenth j at(.,j the speeding law In this city, street and George A.
