Elections of a New German Reichstag; Which' Will Be Held TwnorrovVr . -. .. , BEULIX, Jnn. 11,- A substantia! victory for tho Boclal-democrats Is generally predicted and expected In the general elections of a new Ger man relchstag ttblch tnko place Fri day. It la conceded by even tho government and conservative organs that the eoclal-deraocrata -will have a. much larger representation in the next relchstag. There Is considerable difference of opinion as to Just, bow great tho gains will be. The figures vary from 70 to 120 members, and, strango to say, the socialists them selves arc the most conservative in their estimates, tho solution to this being that some of the newspapers of tho opposing parties aro predict ing a tremendous victory for tho so cialists for tho solo purposo of whip ping up their respective parties to greater efforts by picturing tlio dan ger of such a largo socialist represen tation In tho refchBtag. The socialists had 52 In the last relchstag and havo oleotod seven members since. Conservatives' esti mates are that they will elect a rep resentation of 80 to 90 members.

UOENE has refused to join the other cities of western Oreiron in the struirtrlo for more eouitnhle freight E rates. President Duryea of the Eugene Commercial club has issued the following letter: "The time is not ripe for Eugene to enter such a move ment. From the present indications Eugene is to be some thing of.a railroad center, with two, if not three, compet ing roads. We have every reason to believe we will have linos from the 'cast, connecting With our line to the coast. If this materializes, we '"will be in a position to ask for terminal rates, and we believe we will get them." In other words, Eugene thinks to curry favor with the railroads by refusing to join her sister cities in tlieir efforts to force a souare deal. 13v subserviency and fawn ing. Eugene expects to become the railroad's darUng, the recipient oL tarilt lavors not voueiisateu oiner ernes. Vain hope and idle longing! Admitting that Eugene's dreams come true and all hope they will, and the branch railroad to tap AVendling's SiuslawYnnber is really com pleted to the sea, and tho Natron cut-off is eventually fin ished, will Eugene get any lower freight rates thereby No. History has yet to show an instance where a western railroad materially reduced rates without being forced to and history repeats itself. Albany has a branch road to the sea. lias it made any lower rates'? "Were rates reduced any when the Great Northern entered Portland Or when the Milwaukee entered Seattle? Not, a cent. Eugene can secure reduced tariffs if the present rates are inequitable, not through competing lines, but by pre sent inir her case to the interstate commerce commission and the state railroad commission, and fighting lor her claims m the courts it .necessary and that is the only waw Otherwise it is all the Eujjene Commercial club knows it is. Eugene will receive the made by the other cities tor retonn in rates and should share the burden of the cost. Even if the railroads desired to gratify her selfish desires, Eugene'cannot be singled out for rate favors without similar favors to other cities that era of railroading has forever )assed away. CONSOLIDATING NEWSPAPERS. THE three papers of Orescent City, California, have merged and the consolidated plant is publishing "The Triplicate," instead of the Del Norte Kecord, the Crescent Oitv News and the Cpast Times. The idea is to concentrate the support given three papers and thereby enable the publication of one unusually good paper. Crescent City needs a strong newspaper and it can become a powerful factor in the development and upbuild ing of the community. J t is to be hoped that the mer chants will adhere to their agreement and patronize the one paper exclusively, thus enabling the creation vof a property profitable alike to the community and publisher. The chances, though, are that it will be the old story over again. The -Triplicate will have to ask rates enabling it to live. Some fly-by-night irresponsible printer will drift into the town, some ambitious sorehead will stake him to a little money, the supply houses will sell him the needed, equipment on nothing down and a dollar a month. With lidtliing to lose, he will start a paper, cut rates to get business and the shortsighted merchants will tumble over themselves to give him patronage just because it is cheap, and they hope thereby to hammer down the legiti mate living prices of the established concern. Just as the sheriff is about to close the doors the adventurer may make a sale or the supply house protect its interest by securing some one with sutiicient com to make a lew payments. The new venture may fail or it may narrowly escape a series of failures, find an angel and eventually, like a cat of nine lives, survive. Then, when responsible man agement comes, the clever merchants find themselves compelled to support two papers instead of one and the cut prices evaporated like the mists of the morning also some of the accounts against the irresponsible whom they encouraged. The Triplicate will find that ajre, circulation, ability, integrit', reputation, influence, all 'those things that go to .make- a valuable newsmmer "Hshci? to give full value to th'e wiui many a mercnani, providing ne can save a penny or two bypurchasing something at less than cost of production.
