To tho voters: Upon tho regular ballot at tho com ing election will nppenr two Port of Coos Bny monsurea. These meas ures will bo nt tho foot of tho ballot. Tho ono nt tho loft Bldo of tho bal lot, numbered 3CG, Vcs and 367 No, wll'l bo tho measure Minuting tho Port Commissioners to tho creation of an Indebtedness of $50,000. On tho right sldo of tho ballot numbered 3C8 Yes and 309 No, will appear the mcasuro ndoptlng a project of Har "bor Improvement and providing for $300,000, to carry out such project, tho Issuanco of bonds In tho sum of Tho ?50,000 Measure. Wo all admit, including Mr. Den nett, that $0,000 Is nn insufnclent sum with which to carry out any project, and that It would bo only n wnsto of money to nttompt to car ry out any project with so small a sum. In order to got moro than $50,000, an olcctlon must bo called. Who Bhnll call It? Tho Commission ers havo no special authority, and bond buyors will rcfuso to nccopt an Implication of authority. So tho on ly safo wny will bo to wait for two years until tho tlmo of tho regular election. That mcanB a dolny of two years, boforo wo can begin to plan with as surnnco of completion, any lnrgo pro ject. It means that nnothor blanket has boon thrown upon our develop ment of our harbor. Wo cannot ex pect to bo a port of foreign vcssols, unless such vessels enn got In hero. Wo cannot expect to bo n marltlmo commercial center unless tho carriers or commorco can horo bo docked to load nnd unload. Tho Pnnamn Cnnal Is nearlng com pletion, nnd whon thnt Is completed, wo hopo to ship our lumber to Now York without reloading, and wo hopo to bring tho products of tho cast to this port to bo dlstrlbutod In Central Oregon. Hut wo cannot do that un loss wo nro ready, unless wo can throw open our harbor gates to the Commorco of tho World and bid l enter. With our channel full of ahonls, as It Is todny, so that oven tho ships now plying In horo havo tc como In with tho tides, what chanco, without Improvement, nro wo going to stnnd of receiving Bhlps of gronte carrying capacity nnd grcntor draught. Evcryono knows that un less conditions nro remedlod, tho .chnnnol will contlnuo to shoal, nnd before tho two yonrs nro up, wo will lmvo loBt with tho honts of tho world whnt llttlo stnndlng wo havo. . . .- ..... .- i. mcasuro, and ho stnics uhh " doing It In tho interest of tho tax payers. Wo nil know Mr. Bennett pretty. woll nnd wo havo never yet seen him so active in bohalf of tho taxpayer, ob to Bpond tho amount which ho would havo to spend as tnxeB for years to como. Mr. Bennett Is go ing to a great deal of expense In thlB mnUor. Ho had to havo his measures printed nnd circulated, his argument printed, his arguments, nnd cartoons printed in local papers, besides Ms own tlmo of which ho has given freely. Probably this campnlgn In favor of his $50,000 mensuro will cost Mr. Bennett moro money thnn ho will over bo called upon during his II fo tlmo, to contribute In taxes for Port purposes. Is any voter going to bollovo that Mr. Bennett Is taking such an unpre cedented Interest In tho tax payer? If so, why hasn't ho been nctlvo In protecting tho County and City against tho discounts which ho hns mndo out of warrantB? Every cent that Mr. Bonnott has mado out df tho discount of wnrrants, Indirectly camo out of tho tax payer's pocko:, but you never saw Mr. Bennett rc fuso n warrant nt n sufficient dis count, nnd you never saw him spend ing his own tlmo and money to got tho prlco of wnrrants up to par, but you might havo seen several moves which looked ns though ho wcro trying-to bent down tho prlco of wnr rnnts. So, wo people who know our friend, Joe, nro not going to bo fool ed ono bit by this stnnd which he has tnken In behnlf of tho taxpayer. (C. K. Peck, Paid advertisement.)
