"CRAFTY AND GRAFTY GAME."
There is now an apparent prospect
of the passage by Congress of a ship
subsidy bill. The present measure is
a modification of the old scheme and
proposes a subsidy on mall carrying
vessels only.
While this government bonus is os
tensibly an Inducement to the build
ing of new ships, the act is couched in
such terms as to leave its advantages
open to the Hill and Harrlman steam
ship lines. In fact the act in itself
is nothing more, nothing less than a
government contribution to the trans
portation enterprises of those two
magnate and their associates.
From another standpoint, however,
there is more in the proposed meas
ude than a paltry contribution by the
government of three or four million
dollars annually to these wizards of
finance. The present bill is but the
opening wedge. It Is hoped gradually
to educate the people up to the sub
sidy idea. By clever manipulation the
steamtihip . lines ought within a few
. years to draw a subsidy of forty or
fifty millions annually from the U. S.
Treasury. After the subsidy prece
dent is once established the steam
ship lines do not anticipate much dif
ficulty in notching. up the apr-oprla-tlon
a few millions each eyar.
A majority of the present Senate
that has alreudy practically accepted
this ship subsidy bill must have
adopted the teachings of a peculiar
school of logic. This majority advo
cates tariff law the natural effect
of which Is to decrease importations
and to hamper American shipping.
This tariff is a tax which the consum
er must pay. nut it would never do
to let the steamship companies suffer,
so the American consumer must again
be taxed to pay a subsidy to steam
ship lines.
When will the United States senate
cease to merit the name of "the Mil
lionaires Club"?
CONFESSIONS OF A SENATOR.
Mr. Simon Guggenheim, the newly
elected Republican senator from Col
orado, is apparently determined that
no one shall accuse him of gaining
his seat by underhanded methods.
With charming frankness he tells just
how it was done. Without a blush he
admits contributing to the campaign
fund of the Republican members of
the legislature so substantially that
personal expenditure by them was
unnecessary.
He says: "There is nothing wrong
about It. It is merely conducting po
litical campaigns as they are conduct
edin these days. ... It Is done all
over the United Slates today. I do
not consider Unit it Is wrong, nnd
neither do I think that It can be in
any sense called bribery." These re
marks have been widely quoted, ami
while few there be among the press
who accept his conclusions, there are
many who, like the Indianapolis Nows,
think ho deserves some credit for be
ing "most InnocontlyJ'rank."
In his own statu, even in the legis
lature which olocted him, his methods
have been questioned. Uut by a largo
majority in the Honnte strictly on a
party division a motion to inquire
into his election was tabled nnd ttnal
ly stricken from tho. record.
Apart from the discussion of how
he came by the election, there is
much favorublo appraisal of his
qualifications to represent Colorado In
tho senate. He is quoted as saying
that he will take his seat not to rep
resent tho smelting Interests, in
which his family has become wealthy,
but "as Simon Guggenheim plain cit
izen to represent tho people of Col
orado." And by both Christian and
Jewish press ho Is acknowledged to
bo a man of his word. The American
Israelite (Cincinnatti) says of him:
"For eighteen years Simon Guggen
heim lias lived in Colorado, manag
ing the vast affairs of tho smelter
company, and in alt that time he has
never broken his word, no matter to
whom given, it is said. The only acts
he lias ever tried to conceal from the
public are his charities. He values
men first for their honesty and then
for what they know. Rich and poor,

high and low, meet him on an equal
footing. If he has a fad it Is the
pride of his and the family's good
name, and his ambition is the prac
tical development of the great West."
The Indianapolis Star quote these
words of Mr. Guggenheim: "When I
was a younger man I had the ambition
to make myself independent. I have
done that. I wanted independence
that I might go into politics with free
hands. Why shouldn't an Indepen
dent man serve his country with all
his wealth and all his heart as well?"
"Could a poor man make any more
manly or straightforward statement
than this?" it asks, and continues:
"Could a poor man make any more
manly or stralghtfordward statement
that this? Here is a man who has
been successful In business and has
provided abundantly for his family;
he has proved himself philanthropic
and in touch with progress in his own
state. Why not credit him with an
honest and sincere wish to give his
talents at middle age to the service
of his country for his country's sake?
At least he should be given a chance
to prove himself before being criticiz
ed." Literary Digest.
WHATEVER ELSE, NO HYPOCRITE
It may be said of Senator Guggen
heim and to his credit that he does
not deny or endeavor to cover up the,
methods employed by him in accom
plishing his election. His own discus
sion of the matter is not replete with
hypocritcal protestations of public
virtue.
Election to the United States sou
ate Is a matter of barter and will con
tinue to be such until we have popu
lar election of senators. A vote for
the office purchased in legislature by
the promise of remunerative appoint
ment is not more honorably obtained
than a vote purchased with cold cash.
And for one consideration or the
other votes for Unted States senator
are usually obtained.
Senator Guggenheim's admission of
this condition Bhows that he has much
respect for the truth and he would
probably be among the first to advo
cate legislation doing away with the
disreputable practice of a state legis
lature selling the office of United
States senator to the highest bidder.
CORPORATIONS CONTRIBUTIONS
BARRED.
The house has at last seen its way
to pass the bill forbidding national
banks and corporations organized un-
ler the act of Congress to contribute
to any campaign fund, and forbidding
iny corporation to contribute money
In connection with the election of the
presidential electors, senators and
representatives.
President Roosevelt had twice rec
ommended such a measure. The sen
ate passed the bill last session, but
the house in the pressure of business
was not averse to letting one more
congressional election be held under
the old free-and-easy system.
The bill affects even state elec
tions involving the ultimate choice of
a United States senator. Congress
could go no further, it remains for
tho separate states, as New York did
last winter, to carry the work of
election reform to its logical conclu
sion by providing adequate corrupt
practices acts and by enforcing them
rigorously.
Does Oregon City care enough about
Its factories to keep those that are al
ready doing business here and adver
tising tho city by a class of goods that
they turn out, or is it too sleepy to
care?
Does Oregon City care to advance
toward thut standard of commercial
Importance nnd prosperity that is Its
natural right as tho county seat of
olnckamas county, or Is it contented
to stay In n rut?
These are questions that ask them
selves. Some of the professional politicians
In Now York who took enthusiastical
ly to the stump for Govornor Hughes
no wondering now If they won't have
to tako to the woods.
Two widows have now appeared to
ulaim the remains of the man who
threw that bomb Into the Philadelphia
iiiuik. According to ull accounts of
the disaster thoro will bo hardly
.-nough remains to go round.
It is to be hoped for Mr. Hnrrinian's
;'aso of mind that he does not believe
the things that are printed about
him.
It must be henrtreiulei'lng for the
president to have invitations to deliv
er more speeches that ho can possibly
have time to accept.
President Roosevelt has Swetten
hummed the senate again.
The minister was shocked when a
young lady declined on introduction
to some of his parishioners, "Why

OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1907
MAY LOSE
FACTORY
Oswald Furniture Company
Has Offer.
CORVALLIS PUTS UP BONUS
Promises Free Rent and Five
Thousand Dollars to Re
moveOswald Un
decided. Unless the merchants and the
Board of Trade act at onco, Oregon
City may lose one of Its prominent
Industries. The Oswald Furniture
Co., wheh occupies ground at the cor
ner of 12th and Main streets is con
sidering an offer to move its plant
away from here to Corvallis.
During the two years or more that
the Oswald Furniture Co. has been
turning out furniture here, business
has steadily grown until tho present
plant is inadequate to take care of
the growing out-put. The company
finds a market for most of its wares
in Oakland and San Francisco, and
since the fire has been taxed to it3
fullest capacity to supply the demand
for its products in that market alone.
Now it feels that it needs more acre
age than the two lots, which It now
occupies, and has been looking around
for a site. It has at present orders
on hand amounting to more than $15,
000, and is working overtime to catch
up.
The town of Corvallis feels the need
of a plant of this kind and has offered
a bonus of $5000 if the Oswald com
pany will remove its business there,
and will give in addition the factory
formerly occupied by the carriage
company of that place rent free, Mr.
Oswald is undecided as to what he
will do with this offer, which he con
siders a very liberal one, and one
wheh would mean greatly Increased
facilities to his factory.
"I don't like to leave Oregon City,"
said Mr. Oswald Tuesday morning"but
I certainly need more room for my
factory, and the bonus of $5000 is not
to be overlooked. If I stay here I shall
have to have a site that will give me
more yard facilities than the two lots
I now occupy, but whether I like Cor
vallis $5000 worth, I cannot say as
yet."
Frank Busch, the owner of the site
now occupied by the Oswald company,
thinks that a concerted action by the
merchants and business men of Ore
gon City will result In keeping the
factory here. He points out that the
city cannot afford to lose this Indus
try In the present state of its growth,
and feels that this fact will be recog
nized. WHISKEY AND A BUTCHER KNIFE
Combination that Gets George Mack
inaw in Trouble.
George Mackinaw, who has been
working in a wood camp near town,
started in early last Friday morning
to Imbibe whlBkey. By the afternoon
he had reached the fighting stage,
and concluded that four of his com
rades were cumberers of the earth,
and that he would be- doing a good
deed to put them out of the way with
a butcher knife. With this object in
view he made things lively for the
camp for a time. The men attacked
did not seem to see things as Macki
naw saw them, and came to town to
lodge a complaint against him with
Justice of the Peace Livy Stipp, charg
ing him with assault with a dangerous
weapon.
Constable E. S. Ely drove'out to the
camp and made the arrest, bringing
the man back in his buggy. Macki
naw objected very much to the hand
cuffs, saying he would come peaceab
ly. Constable Ely took them off, but
Mackinaw changed his mind, and be
came Imbued with tho Idea that it
was his duty to put the constable out
of business and make away with the
rig. During the scuffle the servant of
the law received a highly decorated
eye before he could choke the desper
ate man into insensibility and hand
cuff him. In Justice Stlpp's court
Tuesday Mackinaw pleaded guilty to
the charge and received a fine of fifty
dollars and twenty-five days in jail.
MOREY HOUSE TO BE SOLD.
Charitable Institution May Acquire It
For a Hospital.
Negotiations are understood to be
pending for the purchase of the Clara
12. Morey residence on the hill, or
the lease of the place by Portland peo
ple, who desire to use the building
for a hospital, and although the deal
has not been closed, there is a possi
bility that It will bo. The identity of
the Intending purchasers has not been
made public, but It Is believed to be
a charitable organization of women,
who may be connected with one of the
principal religious organizations of
the country.
The Morey house Is now occupied
by tho 'family of Charles H. Caufleld,
president of the Bank of Oregon City,
and a brother of Mrs. Morey, while
the owner lives on the extensive farm
at Oswego, well known to Portland
nnd Oregon City people as "Glen
morie." It is said that the proposed
lease carries with it an option for the
purchase of the property at the end
of five years, for $8000, and that dur
ing the term of the lease the rental
will be $50 per month for the first
year, $75 per month for the second
year, and $100 per month for the three
ilnnl years. The building is well a
dapted for the use of a hospital, con
taining more than "0 rooms, and all
of these are sleeping apartments.
The original cost of tho house and
grounds was something like $20,000,
and the residence was for several
years occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Mor
ey and their children.
YOUNG DRUMMER BOY.
George Brown of Parkplaco Has At
tained Great Proficiency.
I'lonty of boys can beat a drum, as
their frantic parents can well testify,
but few have reached the proficiency
that Geary Hrown, of Parkplace, has
attained. Geary Is six years old, and
in the first grade at school, but he can
beat the drum in a way that few of
the uld'?r boys can equal. When the
line forms for the children to march
into the school little Geary takes his
place and beats his drum for them to
keep step with. His teachers say that
he has a perfect Idea of time and beats
out the march with exact rythm.
Geary is an unsually bright little
fellow for his age, and takes a great
interest in his studies. He is also
very fond of music, and his parents
think that possibly his fondness for
the drum presages a musical career
for him. He is the possessor of a reg
ular military drum of which he Is
very proud, and his friends claim for
him the title of the "youngest drum
mer in the state."
G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
Date of Reunion at Newberg Fixed
W. R. C. Convention.
The twenty-sixth annual encamp
ments of the Grand Army of the Re
public, Department of Oregon, will be
held at Newberg on Tuesday, Wednes
day and Thursday, June 25, 26 and 27,
1907. The dates were determined at
a meeting of the Council of Adminis
tration held last week. The encamp
ment last year was held at Grants
Pass, June 20, 21 and 22, but it was
necessary to make the date later this
year, as the encampment will utilize
the halls in the Pacific College build
ings, after commencement is past.
The Woman's Relief Corps will hold
its twenty-third annual convention at
Newberg at the same time.
BARLOW.
After the severe cold weather, of
the past weok, the Oregon mist is
again welcomed.
The 20th Century Grang., at their
regular meeting on Saturday evening,
January 20, tendered Miss M. S. Bar
low a reception, the occasion being
her return from Europe. The hall
was handsomely decorated and a
special program wa3 rendered after

joyed by all.
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Miller are visit
ing relatives here this week.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hilton from
Canby, called on Mrs. Andrus on Mon
day. Miss Barlow returned to Portland
on Wednesday.
On Friday last Mrs. H. Andrus met
with a serious accident. She fell and
dislocated and broke her right arm.
Dr. Dedman was called and reduced
the fracture. She is doing well as
could be expected of a lady of her
age, she being quite old.
Mrs. Scoggin and daughter, Em.tta,

drus, since the accident.
Mrs. Lena Sprague, of Oregon City,
visited her aunt on Friday last.

ment today.
Mr. 'and Mrs. Jas. Ogle entertained
the progressive euchre club on Fri
day evening. Mrs. R. L. Clark won
the ladies' prize, and John Ogle the
gentleman's prize, Joe King the lone
hand prize.
MORE FUNDS FOR SCHOOL.
Valuation on Corporation Property
- Steadily Raised.
The valuation of the Oregon City
locks of the Portland General Electric
Co. has been gradually raised for the
last four years since Assessor Nelson
has been in office. Last year they
were assesed at $209,000, and this
year the value put on them is $340,000.
The assessment is divided into three
parts so that different districts may
get the benefit of the taxes, which
this year will amount to $7527.50
There has been considerable com
plaint In years past that the property
of the corporations doiug business in
Oregon City has not been assesed at
its full valueation. The locks of the
HJlectric company were for this reason
placed at double the figure four years
ago that they had been previously,
nnd since then the valuation has been
steadily raised.
