From certain sources there is com plaint, of course, about the surplus of cash in the United States treasury, and the same element that lammed the biases out the surplus on hand March 4, 18)12, ia exceedingly uneasy lest there will be few extra dollars on band to add to the country's independent, wealth and strength as a nation. The following from the Astoria Budget shows the ten dencv in that line: "There is a twiners! and just demand for the reduct ion of the enormous sur plus in the treasury. When the treas ury overflows seekers for government bounties and favors of many kinds at the ex range of the stiver men t swsrm the capitol and often their raids are suc cessful. The surplus vanishes and takes enough along with it to leave a aeticit. We have many federal taxes that should tie abolished and others that should be reduced. A surplus is not only unnec essary bat mischievous." The democtatic idea in 1892 was that "a surplus was not only unnecessary but mischievous," and that party being in power, proceeuea loruiwim so ais penxe with the "unnecessary" surplus, and a "catright" wail went up from all over the country, and the results we all know too well. The same thing applies to county affairs. A few years ago the debt of the county was considerable and the wail that was sent up because of it was almost deafening, and because there ia no indebtedness at the present time a wail is again being made to pldnge the county headlong la debt again. The nation can better stand little "unnec eesarv" surplus than a necessary deficit. No doubt there are some instances where there should be a redaction of tariff, but the country is not prepared for a repetition of the E. Q. Mills tariff scnedule. it can reasonably eoougti De depended that when the proper time arrives the republican party will take care of this matter in a manner similar to Its care of public affairs in the past, entirely satisfactory to the nation, finan cially and otherwise. The affairs of the country can be handled more satisfac torily with a surplus on band than they can be with a deficit on hand. In 1892 everybody was employed. In 1894 Coxey's "army" was marching to Washington to demand relief from con gress. Such an experience as we bad in the years from 1892 to 1897 ought to be qnite sufficient for one generation. If that did not teach wisdom it should teach it. If we had had sense enough to let well enough alone in 1892 we would have escaped the terrible misfortunes of 1894. Let the tariff, under which we are prosperous, alone. ANOTHER VIEW OF IT. The Astoria Budget is dealing with the question of the extensive holdings of timber land speculators, and its ex pressions are at considerable variance from the sentiment contained in an ar ticle published in these columns last week, taken from the Grant's Pass Ob server. Tbe Budget says : "The best interests of Clatsop county are not conserved by the accumulation ol large timber land holdings by a few rich corporations aud individuals. The tendency, unfortunately, has been that direction during the past few years and these parties appear inclined to keep their holdings for speculation in place of allowing them to be developed This works a two-fold injury on tbe community in that it retards the milling industry in the district and also pre vents the holders of small tracts of land from logging their timber aa many of mem are unable to get it to the market ana forces them to sen to these capital ists at exceptionally low prices or allow their boldiuga to lie idle, a thing that many ol them cannot attord to do. About the only thing available to rem edy this state of affairs is to raise the assessed valuation of this class of prop erty and compel tbe owners to pay taxes on it proportionate with the prices at wnicn they hold it and not based on the figures which they paid for it. Bo long as these speculators can escape paying taxes just so long will tbey refuse to dis pose ol or develop their property." We are inclined to doubt the entire logic of either of these articles, however, something good is said in each of them. The owner of a ISO-acre tract of land, as a rule, is nnable to do anything with it, in a sense of creating commercial ac tivity, yet, on the other band, the best interests of the county are menaced by tbe extensive holdings of the individual or corporation. Where the little fellow can't and the big fellow won't the only recourse is as suggested by the Budget, maxe the lands held for speculative pur' poses pay its good, round share of the burden of taxation. Both conditions are unfortunate and not calculated to subserve the best interests of the com munity in which such circumstances exist. Where the extensive holder does ntiiize the timber the community is always greatly benefited. Pbesidsnt Boobkvklt has decided upon an innovation in his message that will materially lessen the length of the document, as well as add to its readable- nesa. It has for years been the custom for each member of the cabinet to write that portion of the president's annual message dealing with affairs nnder them, consequently a large portion of the mes sage was a duplication of the annual re ports of the heads of tbe executive de partments. President Roosevelt will change the rale and write bis entire message himself, leaving out the depart ment details which congress gets in tbe annual reports, and devote it only to ueh matters as he wishes particularly to call to tiie attention of congress. The innovation is likely to be popular. Anothes life insurance society secre tary lins betrayed hia trust anil left Ms fraternal ami business associates to suf fer a loss and the public to renew their cunuluaions that all such attain are frauds on the face o! thein, a well an deep down in the inside workinwi of tlietn. The chief secretary of the Mac vnliees ha just acknowledged a shortage iu liia accounts of $57,000. and what are we going to do about Itt The only tiling left ia to sutler the loss and con tinue to encourage thieve! of that clam j by our monthly contributions lor mem I to equander aa they see lit. It ia a high uu,t!v that prompts a man to insure ov : ins me. it is an rxnibitton 01 iovo. a ttian may deny himself from motives of pure sell interest, aa when he refrains from the iudulgence of an appetite which he (ears may binder or ruin his business proepecta, but when he insures his life no such motive operates. The ! motive is for ' another's Rood, lor an -.),.,.. hannineasL otnere nappmess. A policy ol lite in- ' surance is a silent witness of a man's love for bis family, and many a woman who has opposed her husband's purpose to insure, sheds tears of gratitude over the certificate after ha ia dead, and con fesses that his love waa wiser and stronger than she knew. Conditions have become such, however, that a feel ing of nusafety aiexea au honest-pur-posed man and shatters hia faith in any and all insurance societies. It seems to have resolved itself down to the condi tion that there are none honest; no, not one. But this love prompts us to trust again aud meet the same results. Tuk Thanksgiving proclamation of President Kooeevelt is characteristic of the man. His reference to President McKinley is suggestive, and it will occur to all thoughtful winds that the nation has occasion to rejoice and be thankful, even in its great sorrow, be cause the departed president bequeathed to tne country a gooaiy Heritage. An other occasion for national gratitude is in the fact that the man who presides at the White House today is not only only honest and God-fearing, but he posesses the courage and ability to faith fully carry out the work, left so well in hand by his predeacessor. While the day of national thanksgiving will be tinged with sorrow, it will be filled with hope, aa well as with a determination to honor the memory of the nation's dead by loyalty to principle and a disposition to serve the best interests of humanity. CUPPED AND RKPIUNTED. Matters ef a Loral Satare Feand ta Oar Exchanges. The Pelton-Armxtrong Company has just completed their logging road on the Beaver, and have moved camp No. 1 to that point, which will be known as camp No. 6, says the Gazette. . This road ia one of tbe most substantially constructed logging railroads along the Columbia river, and the grade is such that the cars will run down to the Eiochoman of their own accord, and still is not so heavy as to cause the train to become unmanageable. It is esti mated that 126,000 feet of logs can be transported over the road daily. The Pelton-Armstrong Company ia the most extensive logging concern on tbe lower Columbia river, and with extensive im provements made this season thev will be able to place the largest output of logs into tide water next season of any company operating on the lower river. Astoria uauget. District Attorney Allien, who has been resting in seclusion since bis re turn frem Bt. Helens, was seen this morning by a Mews reporter. He says that the people of Columbia county are fully impressed with the belief that the Northern Pacific will at once build their Scappose line to Pittsburg. It runs through the new coal mines that are so promising. Sometime since it was stated that the Northern Pacilic bad called privately for bids by Portland contractors to be put in by October 15. Nothing wss heard aa to the result. Mr. Allen says that St. Helens on last Saturday voted bonds to the amount of $4000 for a new school-house in that dis trict. She feels the impulse of the new Bcappooee branch, which will build up and develop the entire county and help St. Helens. Astoria News. An old-time sportsman, who was fa miliar with the greater part of Sauvie's island some ten or twelve years ago, and who revisited it last week, says there haa been great improvements there since the residents have engaged in dairying on a large scale. Tbe nasty. tall yellow weed, which at one time seemed to have taken the island by storm, is rapidly dying out, and has al- uiutfc entirely uinappearea. v egeistion on the island is luxuriant. On the high est land the white clover and goose grass is half way to one's knees, and forms magnificent pasture. The wild grass on the low land does not make much growth after tbe fall rains, but there is a fine stand of "sour grass," which cattle do not care for in the summer, but which, since ii nas oeen toucnea oy tne irost, they are devouring greedily and find luxuriant pasture. The people on the island are taking life easily, just milk' i,.i.,....j n: . which appears to be a very nice way of maxing money. uregonian. A Fable Up to Date. An elacky younar doe. seeing a bear chained to a poet, began to bark at the animal. It made the bear more or less warm nnder its collar, but as the chain was stout it couldn't eet at the doa. The pup, seeing it wasn't getting hurt, became more impudent and finally con cluded that it could do what it pleased with that bear. Turning to some fellow dogs it said "Just watch me now while I bite a chunk out of that bear." But as the pup rushed in to take a nio out of the rear quarter of the bear, the bear got action on the pup with a rear paw. When a friend of the pup picked it up and laid it on a pile of straw where it could die easy, he aaid : "If that dog had followed the advice of a lot of Deo- file who stand away back and work their awe telling what they would do if they naa tne cnance, ne might have main tained a reputation foy several years vet uui ut uviug vunsiuerauie oi a uog.
