THE POPULAR (REDO Dimes and dollars! dollars and dimes! An empty pocket's the worst of crimes! If amen is down, why, give him a thrust Trample the beggar into the dust! Presumptuous poverty's quite appalling, Knock him over, kick him for falling. If a man is up, oh, lift him higher. Your soul's for sale, aid he's the buyer! The scarcity of labor and heavy rains have resulted in many potatoe fields in the Willamette valley remaining unharvested. It is quite probable that the recent insurance scandals will result in our next legislature establishing a state insurance commissioner for Oregon. The new football rules have decreased the death rate over previous years. Dur ing the season just ended there have only been 11 boys killed and 104 seriously injured as against 18 kill.d and 159 injured during the 1 905 season. The entire cost of making the survey and estimates of the proposed Beaver creek water pruject as shown by the fig-u-es in the Recorders office only amounted to $1245.81. That is certainly very reasonable when everything is taken into consideration. The Standard Oil Company has been ordered by the people of Astoria to take its storage tanks from out the city within one year. This edict comes from the whole community, thru its legal agent, the common council, and there remains nothing but obedience or disobedience to the mandate The law is plain, the authority unimpeached, the popular sanc tion assured; and the issue is strictly up to the Standard Oil Company. There are signs of rebellion on every hand, how ever, and all the cunning and surreptitious methods for which this concern is famous the world over, are beginning work here is derogation of this order from the people. That the Standard Oil is a much bigger thing than an an ordinary little city like Astoria is not to be debated for an instant it shatters the will of larger civic corpor ations than.this with impunity and laughs at governments infinitely greater and stronger than this, but we believe in the principle of the government by the major- ity and hope that Astoria will stick to the creed and compels observance of its dictum. One of 'he active curses of the day in this country is the dominance of the commercial regime over the civic power of the land, and even so small a lesson as is involved in this case will have the meat and merit of a precedent. One human life is worth the last dollar of public and private investment here, or anywhere else, aside from the mainten ance of a living principle of popular gov ernment Gentlemen of the council, stick to the text of your order!

O'UclL 8 Washingtan Avenue EPHONE RED 161 t A proposition is one foot to appropriate $100,000 to advertise Oregon. Properly handicd this is a wise expenditure and then let each county use their prerogative of voting $1000 to individually supple ment the work of the state board and Oregon will soon become as well known as the best of tnem. . For this is th best state on the Pacific coast. The only trouble is. the thousands who are coming westward, are not conversant with the resources of this great state.

Stantels : Professor Hockenberry in his address which we published yesterday certainly gave the Normal schools of this state something to think of. The people are giving the Normal school quest on much more careful cons deration than formerly. The schools cost the taxpayers of this state something like $ 1C0. 000 annually and if the result of tnis large expenditure, brings no better results, than that de picted by Professor Hockenberry it is certiinly a very poor investment. t I SUCCESSOR Staniels & TO. .larman C0IMTRACTIG PAINTER PAPER HANGER and DECORATOR Probably you haven't had any trouble for several months, but you may have now.
