KEORETB TUB SURPLUS.
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

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.

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.

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.

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
