IN OFFENSIVE TERMS Evidently the President of Venezuela believes the Monroe doctrine to be a shield of safely for him and for Veneiuela, or a j thing to be spat apon as his ( purposes may demand. When'; the battle ships of England,'' German? and warn in't Venezuelan waters, threatening business and meaning business, Castro was swift to appeal to I'uo muuroe doctrine aud to ac cept the capable services of Minister Bowen and the friendly and effective offices of the' Suites in warding - off the danger, and in bringing about the withdrawal of the ugly guns pointed at his seacoast cities and the custom houses therein. Then there were none like President HooBevelt, and none! like unto Minister Bowen. But having gotten out of his ditfiJ culties with the three angry powers of Europe, and believe ine that the Senate has so ham-! pered the President that the1 United States Government mav be treated with contempt, Pre4 eident Castro has rejected the' proffer of arbitration of the as-; phalt business. He has chosen! to reject it in terms that are at once insolent and offensive of would be offensive it they had come from another source. His curt language was the cause of amusement and indignation on the part of the Cabinet and on the part of the President but there is such a thing as laugh ing on the wrong side of the mouth, and the fact might be pondered over by the insolent! Venezuelan. SENATOR FULTON'S GOOD SENSE Asrestior Marion is being commended for his step in as sessing property at its actual cash value. Our post office receipts have reached the magnitude sufficient to entitle us to a free delivery system throughout the city.

La Grande has every reason to fetl proud of three public organizations, the Commercial Club, the Neighborhood Club and the Lyle Tuesday Musical. No other city in the Inland Empire has successfully main tained similar organization ' for such terms of years as the above named. The inequalities of our as sessment in past years if examp lified by the fact that in 1892 the city assessment exceeded $1,000,000, a few years later it dropped to less than $500,000 at Senator Fulton in a recent conversation with Assistant Treasurer of the United States Treasury, Mr. Taylor, is report ed by the Washington corres pondent of the Spokesman Re view of Spokane Wash , as having expressed his views on assisting American shipping by subsidies paid id cash by the U 8 as follows: i f 1 "I would like to know when we are going to receive the new revenue cot ter that has been assigned to the Pu get sound revenue cutter service. It takes a lot of work to secure an ap propriation sufficient to construct a little craft such aa a revenue cotter," continued the senator "The only theory upon which I oan explain this is (he Ignoranoe of most of the people of this eoantry of the extent ot the com merce of the Pacific They seem to be unmindful of the fact that the sea front of human activity will, within a comparatively short time, be transfer red from the Atlantlo to the Paciflo; that instead of doing business with the upward of 200,030,000 of people of Kurooe we will csr 'ciiiuuwa nearly three quarters of a billlou people la the orient. Afcd I want to see American shipping Interests encour aged to such an extent that when this time arrives American goods, consigned to the furthermost ends of the earth. ill be exported in American ships, manned by American seamen." 'Those are my sentiments," Inter rupted Score! ary Taylor, 'and I sin cerely trust that some day the condi tions you have described will oe brought about." NEEt) OF SUBSIDY "Not until congress adopts the policy ot England, Germany and all other Important nations of the wurld and subsidizes American ships. When ever congress will authorize for a de finite and given number of years, a subsidy to every ship for every ton of 00 m me roe carried by that snip, the ship building Industry will receive an impetus that nothing else conld give it and in a comparatively few years we would be in a position to challenge the other nations of the world in the great struggle for supremacy in the carrying trade of the Paciflo," oontinaed Sena tor Fulton, "But the members of congress are afraid of the subsidizing proposition. Possibly it is because o the term. Publio men seem to be afraid that the idea ot contributing in' cash to the development of a particular industry would not meet with the ap proval of the American people. And yet, every industry that has been built up in this oountry has been subsidized by oongress indirectly. It was the American tariff system that built up the manufacturing establishments of this oountry. It was the tariff tha1 develrped the tin industry and made it one ot the great American Industries when the democrats protested that it could never become a self sustaining in utttry hi this country. It was the tariff that built op fhe glass industry, and the iron industry, and so on down the linr. It was not a direct payment to the manufacturer but ' it was tbi protection to him against ' the' might competition of foreign cheap labor. Un der that system our faotorles have been built up until today the competition iu this country is so great that even with the high priced, labor here we are' able to manufacture many articles and sell tbem on the markets of the world cheaper than they can be manufac tured in tLe pauper labor countries of Europe. TAYLOli'8 GOOD WISHES "I agree witti everything you have said," said assistant Secretary Taylor, "and I wish you Godspeed in your effort to Induce congress to enact suitable legislation for the upbuilding ot the American merchant marine. and if it were not for the great number of senators and - representatives in congt ess fromjuland states who never saw the ocean your task would be muca eeslbr ." KEEP MONFY AT HOME The American ship building industry cannot be fostered by a tariff The only proper encouragement the government can extend to it is a direct subsidy. We are today paying millions of dollars to foreign owners to trans port our commerce. Why not kep this money at home and pay it to our people and have the additional guaran tee that in the event of war we will have the transport service necessary to meet auy ooutluanoy that may arise Only 10 per rut wl the American commerce carried across the Atlantic ocean la cairied in American bottoms Think of it.
