WATCH LOS ANGELES.
There's au iuterestng scrap on at
Lob Angeles, andthe whole cooutry iH
watching to see whioh way the wind
will blow next mouth. It's a tight
that will make history and wake trou
ble. It's a fight between Socialism and
Mayor Alexander, ou the sorfaoe, but
there is a lot more under the sod.
The Express wildly implores the
voters to "Save Los Angeles" and
predicts Biid tolls the people no one
will take the ten millions of dollars
of harbor bonds if the Job Harrimau
is elected.
On the other hand the Socialists aro
working to start a co-operative bank,
withdraw all deposits from the snarl
ing banks, and are telling the people
that Los Angeles can live and prosper
without the land-grabbers and specu
lators. And now into this scrap come the
women, women given the ballot at
the recent election, and what the out
come will be it takes a sandy prophet
to foretell. The woman have the bal
ance of power, bnt they he a yet un
tried, and the question is how will
they UBe it?
Keep your eye on Los Angeles.
PLAYINC HORSE WITH JUSTICE.
Both sides are yet fighting for a
"fixed" jury in the McNainura trial,
aud they will be lighting for weeks
to come.
What a farce it is to get so-called
justice these days what a farce the
whole shine is when the oase is one
of notoriety or when there is money
in the game.
Right down at the foot of the lad
derin our plain little ol' justice
courts is the place where justice is
given, aud I want to tell yon it is
about the only place.
It tuav not always be In accordance
with the rnles of Ulackstone, aud
the rnlings of the court may not be
just as a supreme court judge would
frame them, bnt regardless of all the
frills and tine points, the justice court
hands ont au average proposition of
what is right for the courts that
oome after to reverse.
If there is one reform that is needed
more than another, it is oonrt reform,
and a measure of justioe provided so
that a man without a dollar may get
the same weight as the millionaire.
The fight at Los Angeles is to. get
men on the jury who have already
oome to a verdiot. Both sides are
fighting tor men who won't heed evi
dence men of ignorance aud few
brains, who couvict or acquit in ad
vance. It's a parody, a horse play aud
breeds contempt for courts.
JUST PLAIN SQUEEZE
Here's an associated press d'spatoh,
from Chicago:
Coal dealers have given notice
that they will advance prices at
once. They have had two lean
years, due to the strike aud over
production in mild seasons, and
prospects of a long, hard winter
affords them an opportunity to
even matters np.
The only reason for this advance is
plainly stated, that the prospects of
a long hard winter give them the
chance to squeeze. They are in a
combine with themselves aud have
now enlarged that trust aud taken in
cold win tor.
And as loug as such items are print
ed, big tnsiness won't get any charity
from the voters when they plead that
continued agitation will pull off a
panic ft
If it takes a panic to prv these bar
liaolos loose from industry, the pauio
is cheaper than this industry.
When the trusts hold the panic club
over the people as a license to plun
der, it's time to clean np for them,
Ii development of Oregon is now
up to the laud owuers, they must
develop aud elaborate a new set of
prices, somewhere betweeu what
they are asking aud the assessment
tigure. Oregouian
But they never will. This is asking
a land speculator to taise his own
taxes The siugle tax system would
"develop aud elaboarte" a new set of
prices tor these speculators and make
them pay their right proportion of the
state's taxes
Trial by jury at Los Angeles is be
coming as much of a farce-travesty as
the trial of the caged Camorrists at
Viterbo, -Buffalo Oourier.
A WISE
Said Shiftlrss Sam: "I; is easy enough to make
money if you have money to make it with. I see
chances every day to make money if I only had a little
stake to start with, bnt a fellow that has no capital
doesn't have a (air shake in this world."
Said the Wise Old Owl: "You never wi'.l have a
stake until you start. Stop your spending and try sav
ing. Pinch out k little of your earning and start a bank
account no matter bow small. Add to it. The longer
you put it o(I the longer opportunity will give you the
cold shoulder." Which one was right, Sara or the Owl?
The Bank of Oregon City
THE OLDKST BANK IN T H E C O V X T Y
TAXATION VltWS.
From an editorial on the single tax
question in the Chieftain,- published
at Enterprise, Wallowa county, we
olip aud oomment :
If Clackamas progressives . can
overcome the heavy mossbackism
of that old county, and carry the
proposal to exempt iinproveniets,
all other counties will follow, suit
at the next succeeding election, or
Clackamas will speedily absorb
the industries of the entire state,
including Portland.
If the above is true, and you and I
have heard many men nse this argu
ment against the siunle tax, what do
you think about it'
If a single tax law will draw the
mills and factories from other coun
ties of Oregou to Clackamas, it would
be a pretty good frame-up for this
county, wouldn't it.'
A county that invites industries and
makes it au object for industries to
locate, and a county that UETS the
industries, well, it cau't be goiug to
the bow-wows very fast, can it?
And further the Chieftain says:
Don't laugh in yoor ignorance.
We repeat, and you can put a pin
iuthis: If Clackamas adopts the
exemption of personal property
(improvements, labor, etc) from
taxation, half of the other conu
will follow suit at the next elec
tion, BECAUSE of Clackamas'
prosperity.
And we would have the spectacle of
other counties of the state voting FOR
the singe tax amendment in order to
prevent Clackamas couuty from get
ting all the prosperity of surrounding
counties in order to keep what they
have got.
That's a fuuuy one.
The natural reasoning is that what
would be good for Clackamas county
would be equally good for other coun
ties, and that instead of 'waiting to
use it as a protectiou to what they
have, they would be holding it out as
an inducement to get more that if it
is good for a single county, it is good
tor a state.
There is a good deal of poppy
oock talked about who are the tax
payers. Political economy teaches,
aud today all thinking men who
have studied the subject are agre
ed, that in the final analysis all
taxation is borne (no matter who
makes the payments to the tax col
lector) by labor aud land, or to be
more definite, labor applied to
laud. "Then," you say, "what
difference about the method? If
labor applied toland pays all taxes
flow, what difference will it make
if said taxes were collected direct
from the final payer?"
As pointed out by the Courier many
times, land and labor pay the taxes.
An industry may hand over a check
and take renipt from the assessor, but
that check is charged back to the buy
er of the goods, and the consumer pays
it in the end.
The idea is the same as buying a
piauo on installments. If a man had
to pluuk down 400 cash he would
know he bad bought something, but
where it conies five dollars a month,
he hardly knows he is paying for it.
Again the Chieftain says :
The advocates of reform, who are
just as patriotic citizens as you or
I, Bud waut to personally suooeed
just as you or I, say siugle tax
, will add vastly to the general wel
fare. Vauoouver, Edmonton, aud
other Canadian towns and cities
are prospering greatly nnder a par
tial application of the reform sys
tem. We got our reform ballot
from Australia, the initiative and
referendum from Switzerland, al
falfa was brought to the United
States from abroad.
The mouied interests of Oregon tell
us Oregon will go into the hands of a
receiver if we vote for Bingle tax.
Only a little time ago they told ns
the same dire consequences would fol
low the adoption of the Oregon sys
tem of reforms. But we are still sol
vent and doing business right along.
No oue can deny that our present
ubnoxious tax system has put the air
brake ou Oregon's development.
The papers yell because we have to
bring our pork in from Nebraska,
while the assessor stands ready to tax
any farmer a stiff price per head for
any hog he dares to raise.
The siugle tax promises reliet from
the present tax oppression aud it pro
mises niu oil more.
This paper argues to give it a
chance on its platform.
If it makes good, if it delivers one
half of its possibilities, it is what we
want and it will make Oregou smile
from Clatsop to Malheur.
If it doesn.t then do to it just what
the people do to tho political party
that does not make good.
It's a good risk, and those who waut
to see Oregou changed from a pioneer
state to a a mauufeturing aud agriculj
tural state, can allord to play it. We
can't lie worse off.
Did you ever think of how the big
trusts are slipping one over ou the
government when they come before
Uncle Sam aud ask to be guided
around that Shermau law?
Some sweet day the government
will go after them again for continu
ing the samo old three shell game,
when they will say "We are actiug
under your orders you can't touch us
anymore." It's a shrewd move, aud
makes the United States supreme
court a party to the robbery.
OLD OWL
IS IT CLOSED?
The celebrated Trembath shooting
affair came to a very mild end in the
circuit court last week, when he was
allowed to plead guiltr to simple as
sault, and was fined $75.
Many people expected that the seri
ous charges made by Doutbit and
Gates would be taken up on this trial
and the whole matter be thoroughly
brought out, but so far as the circuit
court is conoerued the matter is
ended.
But so far as Mr. Trembath aud the
state are concerned, the matter should
not be ended. Neither can afford to
let these charges stand, if t hoy are
true, It is certainly up to the state to
tHke action, and if they are untrue, it
is as certainly ip to the ash warden,
Mr. Trembath, to clear his rwn name.
There is too much criticism now
against the fish aud game commission
for the Btate to ignore such a matter
as this with credit to its service.
There were opon charges made that
the warden allowed fishermen to go
into the fish ladder contrary to law,
that the warden was in league with
them and that there was an "under
standing" between them. On the
other hand the statemeut was made
that these fishermen were working
againBt the warden to undermine his
job.
And should such charges be allowed
ot drop? Can either the state or the
wardon aford to let them drop'
WILL HE COME BACK?
Roosevelt is now an avowed can
didate for the Republican nomina
tion for president. It will be a
neck-to-ueck race between liim
aud Taft in the convention.
This is from the Buffalo, N. Y.,
Evening Times, whose editor is Nor
man E. Mack, national Democratic
committeeman.
Mack doesn't know any more about
this than I do. It is simply a guess,
and a good one a guess on a mau who
has kept the whole country guessing
for the past ten years.
Four years ago Roosevelt had hat to
nod his head or wins his eye to be
nominated for president, but he
wouldn't bat. He had a big man
picked to fill Ins shoes and he put him
in.
Roosevelt wauts to be president
again there is little doubt of it bnt
be is waiting tor the Egyptiaus to
call for a Moses. The Egyptians are
culling right enough, but they don't
s eiu to be yelling for Theodore. And
Roosevelt wauts to get them started
his way.
When Roosevelt picked the big man
to wear his vest and to carry oat his
policies, be believed Taft would keep
right ou with the big stick business,
aud there is little donbt but what
Taft intended to.
But while Roosevelt was in Atrica
the interests got bnsy. Oue of t lie
big fellows remarked, when . the
steamer pulled out from the pier, 'that
lie hoped a lion would do his duty.
And while Roosevelt hunted ele
phants. Wall Street hunted him and
they got a divorce for Taft while The
cdoie waited.
Whether Roosavelt can come back
sud will come back remains to be
soeu, but here is a guess that whether
or not he is nominated, he will take a
band in next year's campaign and be
will make considerable racket.
Ask a man what ticket he ex
perts to vote for president next
year, aud in a large percentage of
oases the answer will be in efleot,
"that depends. " Woodburn In
dependent. Ten years ago if you could find oat
what a man's father was, you knew
how the son would vote. In the old
days a party was inherited, politics
handed down through families, and he
was almost a traitor who dared to go
back on the legacy.
Today a man who does his own
thinking seems almost to take pride in
telling you he is a free lauco,,tliat he
can split a ticket much easier than he
can kiudling wood, aud that be will
vote tor the mau and the issue, re
g:irdless of politics or party.
And out of this condition is grow
ing popular law aud needed reforms.
Out of the reoeut couventiou of
wool growers in this state has sprung
a proposed bill to give the buyer of
clothing protection to make the
seller label the article and plainly
state the proportion of cotton and
wool in it.
Why the purchaser should not be
given this protectiou will be a hard
question to argue. When a mau buys
an "all wool" suit of clothes and pays
for this quality, it is simply robbery
to have a half cottou article put onto
him.
This proposed law is simply au en
forcement of honesty. It says thou
shalt not lie, aud puts a penalty on
it. It is of as much necessity as the
puro food law, and legislation this
country badly needs.
Henri Wattersou says the avalanche
of uew legislation is carrying ns back
ward to the old blue laws. It's a
fact if our laws were enforced. I'll
bet that seveuty-tive out of one
hundred men in Oregon City violate
soma state law every day in the
week unless they are sick in bed.
Some state legislator should make
himself famous by seeing how many
of our useless laws he could get re
pealed, aud another should make him
self a state reputation by attending
every session of the legislature and
uever presenting a bill.
If a man wants fame, what better
opportunity?
since i no rauama cauai was com
menced, has now beeu forced into the
open, aud the people see bow it is
fighting to stop independent steamer
liues from operating through the
canal that the railroads may hold
their present cinch ou rates from the
East to the West.
It is a fight of the people against
Morgan and his gang, aud Morgan
will boat out unless the congress takes
a hand. If .our country would operate
its owu steamers, then would the
railroads have 'some competition that
thej could not buy.
Dr. Wiley, chief chemist of agri
culture, says there is no ned to blame
the farmer tor the high cost of living,
tor the farmer is playing the losing
game. He does not count the cost ot
his own labor nor the labor of his
family m balancing np his accounts.
It is the middleman who is making
the big profit. What shall we do
about it?
Well, lit the state aud city step in,
if ueed be.
Congressman Haw ley started a
"swing around tho circle" last Satur
day and ii will coutiuue nutil Decem
ber J. He will tell the voters of Ore
gou City all about it next Wednesday,
when bit date is hero.
FIND THE BEST MEANS.
County Judge Beutie has called an
open meeting of the road supervisors
of this county for Wednesday of next
week, at the court house, lor the pur
pose of taking np the matter ot im
proved highways and devising the
best means of raising I lie necessary
expenses. After calling the meeting
to order and disur.sing of some pre
liminary matters the meeting will ad
journ to the Commercial Club parlors,
where au open mett'iig if taxpayers,
supervisors and otheis interested will
be welcomed, and where all will te
given a hearing. .
There are two priuoipal objects for
this meeting how best to get the
money aud how best to improve the
roads.
Nine out of ton of the live, pro
gressive men cf Clackamas county
will say this county needs more im
proved roads. Tso couutv ever pro
grossed very fast without them, aud
no county ever wilk Thev cost
money, good money, but every time a
farmer puts a dollar into good roads,
if it is jndicioosly expended, that dol
lar will add 1 50 to Ins property.
The question to decide is propor
tioning the expense.
A farmer who lives miles from a
proposed improved highway, who will
seldom, if ever, nse that highway,
and the improvement of which will
not add a cent to his property or any
convenience to his work, this farmer
doesn't think he should pav mucli for
this road improvement and he is
right
The Courier hns always held that
Improved roads should be paid for by
those who are benefited. This is
simple justice, and when it is adjust
ed ou this principle, then will we Bee
a'l men getting together for improved
highways in old Clackamas.
NEW MANAGEMENT.
Governor West made it very plain
where he stands ou national issues at
his speech in Portand last week. He
said the government should cont'd
all trusts and monopolies aud that the
Sherman law was useless as a pre tco
tion. "The Sherman act has been upon
our statute books for twenty -niie
years," he said. "Five presidents,
four Republicaus and rue Demooiat
have had every opportunity to prove
its usefulness. Yet during that per
iod we have seen such organizations
nad combinations of cop lal as the
world never dreamed of. Stateme ts
by those who are in a position to
know tell us that, there are in this
country over 500 larte corporatirns
and trusts to say no'hiug of tie
thousands of smaller rues doing lui
ness in violation of the Sherman? s t.
"The suits which have beeu hi d
from time to time against the tnsts
have served no nseful purpose, ttlmr
than that of investigation aud ec not
ion. Such action has been tat on
usually about election time and huge
ly for the purpose Cf til'OJT? 's p'
to the voters The p"oplj bave so n
on one hand a few labor leaders n-ut
to jail aud ou the other nn r.niiiinr
rupted organization of cpil il whi.h
staggers the imugiuntion. Tl.is is ihe
result of twenty-one years of the
Sherman act.
"We are simply demoralizing busi
ness and getting no relief. What we
need is constructive legislation, not
destructive legislaltiou. The big
combinations have become the warp
and woof of our industrial life and it
is up to us to quit wasting our time
railing at them, aud. by using our
wits, turn them to good aicouut."
SHOULD WE FORCE SABBATH
OBSERVANCE?
Dear Editor : If Sunday is a relig
ious institution, then the state can
never properly have anything to sny
as to its observance; for it is not the
provinceof the stato to sett lr) religious
questious, and command , the observ
ance of divine reprecepts. It might
be proper for an ecclesiastic council
to give consideration to such matteis.
but the fpuctiou ot the state is not
ecclesiastical, but purely Civil. Re
ligion is a thiug of the heart. It is
the personal rotation betweau mau
aud his Creator, and for it we are
amenable nowhere, except at the
tribunal of the Universal Judge. Be
cause, therefore, Sunday is an insiitu-
tion of the church, not ot the state,
and its observance is a religious act,
congress can never rightfclly pass
any law regulating its observance.
To parry the totce of this, r.oAover,
the claim is advanced that S; inlay is
uot a religious but a civil inst tu'iou;
aud, as the state should deal with
civil matters, it shocli regulate the
observance of the day.
But if Sunday is a civil institution,
why should its observant e be made
compulsory? We have holidays which
are purely civil institutions; for ex
ample, Washington s birthday, the
Fourth ot July, aud other legal hol
idays. But who ever heard of the ob
servance of these days being made
compulsory? When has a b'll ever
been introduced into any national or
state legislature specifying how these
days should be observed, and closing
up all shops and business bouses and
places for reoreaticn, under penaltv
of civil law? All would reeeut such
a step and deem it tyrannical. But if
Sunday is a civil institution, it is
merely a holiday, aud should be dealt
with the same as other holidays.
Upon whichever horn of this dilem
ma so-called uatioual reforms impale
themsekes, it is equally tatal to their
tbeoiv, an.l emphasizes the truth that
legislation concerning Sunday is not
within the rovince of the state.

WATCH FOR RESULTS.
Friday of next week the Standard
Oil Company is npptved to legally go
to pieces, but 1 have au idea you
wou t see auy of the pieces-.
Alter a few weits you will be won
dering why the prices of this com
pany's numerous by-products haven't
come dowu, for the reasou of the
courts dissolving this great corpora
tion was that it was a combination in
restraint of competition.
And when the prices don't come
down, when the numerous products
this great company controls do busi
ness at the sauie old scale, I hen yon
will ask what was the good of this
horse play aud wnat has it accom
plished? The only way to break these big
combinations loose from their levy is
to have the government fix the selliug
price.
Someday it will.
Henry CUy Beattie will today know
bow it feels to have 20,000 volts of
the white fluid chase down his spiue,
and I hope there may he a few seconds
betweeu death aud the warm cooutry
when he will feel as his murdered

"THEY'RE OFF."
Appreciating the dire need of a
mayor for Oregon City who has the
requisite business qualities, the back
bone to do things aud do them for the
greatest good to the greatest number,
three citizen) ofiar tl emselves up for
sacrifice. Yet another view if three
could be elected it might be well, as
the work the coming year will be
strenuous, much as were the duties cf
our executive last year.
But it so happens we must take our
choice -vote for oue, and wish well for
the others. Prior t o election day
friemU of oue may be cousoled by for
feiting his election, which to him
seems assured, which of course is fair
from any point of die triangle.
The taudidates are all well launched
into the contest, and so short a time
intervenes before we may designate
our choice that there will necessarily
follow some tall hustling on the part
of the candidates aud their friends.
Wm. Andresen has the gronud floor,
having served in the council six years
aud as ohairman of the financial com
mittee has made an enviable record
and was the first to announce himself
a candidate, after being urged some
time by a very large number ot tax
payers who had signed his petition.
Grant B. Diniict reluctantly came
out after being urged some weeks by
an unusually large bunch of citizens
aud taxpayers who were so insistant
in their requests that he finally stated
that he too would be a candidate. Mr.
Ditnick has a record back o t him
that's bard to equal, having won ont
in former days here the fourth time
for mayor, aud it was goner ally con
ceded that should Mr. Diiniok decide
to run he would undoubtedly beelent
ef, until scmething farther happened
the announcement ot A. L. Beatie
and put a uew aspect on the situation.
Mr. Beatie is a young, energetic busi
ness mau, was urged into the fight by
a flattering nnmber of citizens and
will pull a good vote and it puts the
mayor's chair just out of reach for
anyone of the three for a certainty
but each claims a right, title and in
terest in, to and utxm said seat.
Go to it carefully.
; Oregon City needs a mayor has for
several mouths. The Conrier hopes
this time we may all have oue. The
office is not a playtniug, not mack
from the garbage tor goats to munch,
bnt a real, live, tangible thing that
really belong to the people as a whole,
and any attempt at self interest deals
should be resented. There's alwayB
the remedy at hand.
We ueed a business head, a conserv
ation leader as mayor of Oregon City.
The city was never so attractive as
now, aud never so badly in need of an
interested business bead in the chair.
MR. U'REN EXPLAINS.
Some days ago the Oregouian asked
Mr. U'Ren to explain to what extant
a dtlegate was obligated to stand by
the expression of the voters at the
national conventicn, to which Mr.
U'Ren replies :
"As to the obligation of a delegate
elected under the presidential primary
law, I fully agree with President
Selling and other members of the
People's Power League who drew and
presented that bill to the people. A
delegate is in honor bound by his
election and oath of office to aid the
nomination of the candidate for his
party nomination who receives the
highest number cf votes at the pri
mary election. He is in honor bound
to continue this support in the con
vention so long as that candidate is in
the raoe for the nomination.
"Uuder the proportional representa
tion plan every faction equal to one
tenth of the party will bt fairly rep
resented by delegates of its own choice
and election. Thus the voice of the
progressives and standpatters will be
fairly herd in preparing the platform
on which the party candidate must go
efore the people. The primary pur
pose and theory in the election of del
egates and representatives to any con
vent on or legislature is that the
members are to represent constituent
This law will certainly secure that
result in the election of delegatex,
and the authors believe it is alto
gether likely that the delegates so
chosen will also fairly represent the
different sections of the state."
"We're engaged in a sort of a way,
but could never learn to love each
other" is the relation of LaToIlette to
the Republican party

MISTAKES WE PAY FOR.
I note that every case passed on by
the state snpreme court at Salem for
one week, five cases in all, were re
versals of former trials.
Now will someone rise aud tell the
Courier readers what earthly good
were the former trials, and what was
accomplished other than wasting a lot
of time, bringing a big bill of court
expenses on the oouuties and making
poor men out of those who had part
in the actions. Ona of the verdicts
reversed had the freedom of a human
life at stake Jessie Parker, convicted
of manslaughter. He was tried for
murder, first degree, and fonnd guilty
of manslaughter. The reversal was
that the judge erred in charging the
jury.
How if the judge was not compe
tent to try this case, why was be ou
the bench? if he made a mistake,
was be competent?
Are the people who have to again
pay the big expenses of a murder trial
to blame because the judge made a
mistake?
Should the life or the freedom of a
man hang on a judge's errors?
Should judges be men who will
make errors on cases where human
life hangs?
YOU answer these' questions and
figure out whether a higher court
should reverse on a technicality, or
whether a lower court should have
judges who will have a knowledge of
law that won't permit of blunders
And while yon are thinning on it,
read the article written by ex
Supreme Court Justice W. R King,
who advocates abolishing the county
courts in this state.

There ought to be a way to save
so-called banks from beiug a mere
blind with which to obtain other
people's money for nee in financ
ing all kinda of mushroom soheines
and speculative games. The best
way is to teud to the penitentiary
all hank officials who loan bank
deposits aud stockholders' money
to themselves for general purposes
of expiciiatiou. -Portland Journal.

Wouldu't the best way be to have a
law guaranteeing bank deputits, just
