SPLENDID
A farmer from the Boring section
was in town this week and the Cour
ier editor heard him relate an inci
dent that shows the value and accur
acy of the timber cruising of this
county.
He said Assessor Jack told him
there was no timber reported on sec
tion 20 by the cruisers, yet on the N.
E. one-fourth of the N. W. one-half
the owner has just sold his corner
timber to a Portland company and is
getting it off. He says the estimate of
the timber on the corner is one mil
lion and a half feet, yet the cruisers
report no timber on that section. He
says further he is owner of land in
this section, and that he knows he
has timber on it.
The question arises, are these
cruisers taking some old cruise for
these sections because it is easier,
are they not cruising certain secA
tions, or don't they know their busi
ness ?
And another question arises: If
these big tracts of timber claimed
by ther ailroads are to revert to the
government, as per the recent court
decisions, of what earthly use will
be to burn up $51.20 cents a section
to cruise them? Of what benefit will
it be to anyone but Mr. Nease, the
Portland timber cruising contractor
HUSH MONEY
VOTE FOR PETER
I always enjoy reading an editorial
that has reason back of it agru
ments that make one think but this
one from Johnsburg, Pa., Breeze
suits me too well:
The charge that high tariff is
the cause of high living is not
born out by the facts. When the
tariff schedule was revised hides
were placed otTthe free list .Im
mediately following this action
the price of leather advanced
about 25 per cent. This is also
true of other articles. Vote for
Peter M. Speer.
Some class, 'eh? Tells you to just
believe, and vote for reter.
It tells you that Peter voted to put
hides on the free list, and that shoes
went up, therefore vote for Peter
some more.
Peter, as congressman, didn't know
shoes would go up, and as congress
man he wosn't supposed to know. He
voted for free hides and we get high
er shoes therefore vote for Peter.
But most men who read the above
will want to know WHY they should
vote for Peter after he had helped
Doost the prices of shoes 25 per cent,
If lowering the tariff on an article
of necessity causes the article to ad
vance in price, why did Peter vote
for free hides? And if lowering the
duty causes higher prices, why does
It 7
If Peter doesn't know why doesn't
he? What's he in Congress for? If
lowered duties raise prices, then why
doesn t he come out favonner a Dro
hibitive tariff, one so high that no
foreign goods can possibly come in,
mat we may have cheupor goods?
When opening our ports to more
competition raises prices, we men
want to know just WHY it does and
we want some Peter to show us. And
if Peter can't come across with the
evidence, then some of us aro going
to get it into our heads that the
trusts are tho incubators and cong
ress the brooders and that we fel
lows have no business poking our
kuestions into the national hen business.
A recall certainly smokes out the
men, and shows who have sand.
The great government tells a man
who would sell liquor if he will pay
$25 for a government license the gov
ernment will not prosecute him.
The great state of Oregon tells the
man who would sell liquor that if he
is caught with a government license
it will be sufficient evidence he is a
"blind pig" operator, and the state
WILL prosecute him.
What do you think of such monkey
plays of a nation granting a man
a government license, the possession
of which makes him a state criminal ?
Makes you feel like throwing your
hat in the air and yelling your head
off for a great and just government
nit.
Of all the contemptible blackmail
ing schemes, this government immun
ity graft license is the rawest.
It puts the U. S. on a level with
the blackmailing policeman or public
official who takes a rake-off from a
"red light" joint in payment for let
ting it operate.
It licenses crime in Oregon if
Oregon doesn't know it.
It gives you a government sanction
that you must hide, lest its possess
ion put you behind the bars.
It makes a transaction between an
individual and the United States gov
ernment criminal on the part of the
individual but legal and pure as the
dew on a violet with the govern
ment. If you or I went into such a bunco
deal as indivduals, they would have
you pulled for state law violations
and I for conniving at a felony.
But the government, like the king,
can do no wrong.
And our congressmen preachers
sent back to Washington to legislate
for morality, let this blackmailing)
condition continue year after year
for the hush money received by Uncle
Sam helps to pay their salaries and
20 cents per mile rake off.
Over seven hundred thousand dol
lars expended in this county during
the past four years on roads and
bridges alone over $173,000 a year
and yet Judge Beatie told the people
at Molalla the county had not money
enough to build roads and suggested
a 70 mill tax. You should worry.
The sooner the taxpayers of Clack
amas county elect a county court to
do their bidding, then organize in the
precincts and give orders, the sooner
will they shake off the taxation which
is now a big load . Paying political
debts with county patronage and
playing favorites with political favors
will never get this county or any
other county anywhere. It's time for
a change.
When a farmer hires a man that
man works for the interests of his
employer or he is fired. He doesn't
go to making any side deals on the
quiet. He doesn t go to giving away
the farmer's rights and property to
outside concerns or make any con
tracts that tie up the man he works
for without that man s consent. And
the taxpayers are awakening to the
fact that the county business should
be run like a personal business, and
that it will continue to be mighty
costly until it is.
Over in Switzerland they have a
simple little taxation scheme that is
justice, and an idea this country
should adopt. When a man pays his
taxes he is given a blank on which he
states the amount of the mortgag eon
his property and who holds that mort
gage. And the amount of the mort
gage is deducted from the assesment
and assessed against the man who
held it. "But that would drive money
out or Oregon," you say. Make this
a national law and it wouldn't, for
there would be no place for money to
drive to.

Tho other day I ran across an old
number of a New York paper of thir
ty years ago, and the blackest of
gothic headlines told of an awful ac
cident in Chicago, where six men
were killed. The paper gave over a
column of the details of the "terrible
accident." Life was dear in those days
Mie it is so cheap now that an auto
race isn't exciting unless a dozen or
two are killed. It takes a corking big
orror to interest us these days. Loss
of life isn't news unless it is a slau
ghter. We're a crazy hustlinjr mob,
thinking only of self, and so long ns
tho list of killed or wounded doesn't
include our family, we pass up the
etails and turn over to the sport
ing page to see how many hits. Wag
tier got and how tho betting is on
Portland. The world's horrors of the
past six months don't touch us. Life
too cheap and funerals too slow
Robert Schubel suggests a simple
little plan which, if carried out,
would put an end to the transactions
of the county court that have brought
on a recall movement. He says organ
ize in every precinct or school district
and select a man to represent that lo
cality, and these representatives to
confer with the county court when big
matters and contracts come up. If
we had such a body in this county
the bridge, court house, timber cruis
ing and franchise contracts probably
would not have been plugged through
in the shape they are, and at the ex
pense they have been.
THE SALOON
THE DANGER
A man wrote to the- Courier office
Tuesday saying that over 80 per cent
of his precinct had signed the recall
and all there was to it was to give
the voters the ballot.
Another man wrote in that over 50
per cent in his precinct has already
singed the recall petition, and he re
turned his petition with the state
ment there was no use of anyone
"running their legs off for nothing."
The greatest danger to any move
ment is when that movement thinks
it has things buttoned up and secure.
One precinct might have 100 per
cent of the voters singed up and yet
the recall might fall short, for the
reason that no effort was made to
get signers in a dozen or so other pre
cincts.
Being too sure has lost more fights
than won. Being on the move is a far
safer play.
If any voter in this county thinks
this recall matter Is going to be a
pink tea affair, he had better shake
it off.
It's going to be a horse race and
men have got to get into it and work
out a campaign just as they would in
a regular election campaign. They
"VALUE RECEIVED"
One of the best proofs whereby we know
your interests will be benefitted by a
bank connection here, is that we 6crve
hundreds of others to their satisfaction.
The service you receive is n o t de
termined by the volume of your busi
ness. We judge a man rather by his
ability. We seek your business, he
cause we know you will get in return
"value received" many times over.
The Bank ef Oregon City-
OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY
have got to get on the job, take
hand in the work and take a hand
in the expense if they win.
If they do if they work half as hard
as they talk, there can be only one
outcome, for the county is full of pro
test. Hut if they leave the petitions
for George to circulate and the ex
penses for their neighbors to pay
then they will have to ache and .stand
present conditions.
In a recall movement it is better
to have never started than to have
started and stopped.
The scrapper in a ring fight who
weakens gets his.
CIIESTNUTTY
The Hillsboro Independent doesn't
want the state senate abolished. It
has a remedy for present conditions
that will save the state, and also the
senate. It is original and wise:
Let each member of the grange
as well as every other citizen
with the wellfare of the state at
heart see to it that the unfit as
pirants for legislative jobs and
the men who seek the office to
look after certain interests are
eliminated at the polls.
Splendid in print, Bro. Killen, but
it has moss on it an inch thick. Your
father was brought up on this advice,
It's nice to read but it simply won't
get us anywhere. Like the ten com
mandments, we won't obey.
Here's more to the point: Abolish
the senate it never had a use. Then
abolish the most of the house the
"most is as useless as the senate-
Put fifteen men in the capital and
tell them to give Oregon a business
administration. Hold the recall over
them and the referendum over their
work. Get big men, able men, honest
men. Pay them well and keep them
in session as long as necessary,
It isn t far off when Oregon will be
managed this way. It isn't far off
when Hillsboro and Oregon City will
have one man, one capable man, in
full management of city affairs.
Governor Sulzer of New York ask
ed Senator Stillwell to resign because
he was a grafter. He refused and the
senate exonerated him. Then a jury
convicted him. We need more Sul-
zers.
Editor Courier:
As there is considerable discussion
of the saloon question at the present
time I wish to add my quota to the
controversy.
First of all I wish to state that I
have no quarrel with the men who run
saloons in Oregon City. As long as
we license them to sell liquor we are
partners with them in the business.
All the rights the liquor business has
are those embodied in the license
bond. While they live within this bond
they are entitled to protection and to
fair play .It takes social qualities of
a high crder to make a successful sa
loon dealer. The crank or the fool
have no place in the business. Saloon
men are generally genial pleasant
fellows to meet and are men who do
not have to sell booze to make a liv
ing. They would succeed just as well
in any legitimate line of business. I
have no quarrel with them. In fact
I blame the respectable citizen who
authorizes them to carry on their
business by his vote, and who thinks
he is lowering his taxes by receiving
license money from a business he
would not himself have the temerity
to engage in, more than I do the sa
loon keeper. We are all in the busi
ness so long as we permit it. Hence
no one of us can be too critical.
But I am opposed to the saloon bus
iness itself. It is needless to say that
I oppose it on moral and sentimental
grounds. But these need not be dis
cussed here. What I do wish to em
phasize at this time is on the econ
omic side of the question.
Is the saloon license of benefit
to the community financially? Let us
look at it first from the standpoint
of the merchant. Eeach dealer in leg
itimate articles of trade adds to the
wealth of the community. The groc
er, baker and butcher feed the wives
and children of the working men, and
the clothing and shoe men make them
comfortable. The barber makes men
presentable, while the florist adds to
the beauty of the surroundings, and
thus to the value of the homes pat
ronizing him. The entire family vis
it the ice cream parlor, and go out
with clear minds, and with hearts
that are happy in the enjoyment of
pleasures in which all, old and young
can share. The physician and the
druggist battle with pain, and en
deavor to alleviate suffering. All add
to the community s wealth.
But the saloon dulls the brain, low
ers the efficiency of the wage earner,
makes the man a less expert worker
and a poorer husband and father, and
adds not a single drop of joy to the
cup of life of any member of the
drinker's family.
Alcohol has absolutely no food val
ue, a fact I challenge anyone to dis
prove, and has such small medicinal
value, accompanied by such patholog
ical danger, that it should never be
taken except upon the advice of
some honorable and responsible phys
ician. Since Noah got drunk at the
foot of Ararat it has never added five
cents worth of real value to the weal
th of the world.
Have you ever inquired why so
many merchants are running as near
the cash basis as possible? One said
the other day: "We are willing to
credit any man who is sure to pav.
but a good many men cash their pay
cnecks in the saloon, and the saloon
man gets the lion's share. By the
time they get around to me they ask
tor credit. I have to pay every thir
ty days for my goods, and must meet
my bills promptly. Many of those
men are never able to pay. Hence
must go upon the cash basis to live."
Who pays the grocer's bill of the
man who boozes ? The merchant must
live. Ask yourself, Mr. Ratepayer,
when you wonder at the high cost of
living next pay day, how much of it
is due to the fact that the saloons
here get something like $125,000 of
the hard earnings of the working man
giving ansoiutely no value in return?
Let me call the attention of the
merchants to a certain fact. Who got
tne several hundred dollars spent in
town last Booster Day ? Several mer
chants tell me they took no more
some less than they do upon an or
dinary buturday. One firm took in
$300 more last Saturday than they
did either booster day. Who got the
money? Who would have got it had
tnere Deen no saloons in town?
"But see how much revenue we get
irom the saloon." Is it not rather
a poor business proposition, Mr. Man,
to throw away $125,000 to collect
$10,000 to $15,000? I have been at
tempting to estimate how much it
costs the city and county to take care
of the products of the saloon. I have
only begun my investigation yet have
found that court, witness, attorney's
and other fees in cases directly due
to the saloon will swallow up the li
cense money of several dram shops,
while the care of paupers through
drink, prisoners, etc., .will not leave
much saloon revenue unaccounted for.
No one will accuse the Boston
Board of Associated Charities of be
ing a temperance organization. Yet
they issue the following statement:
"One half of the crimes, one
fifth of the insanity, one fourth
of the poverty in Massachusetts
last year was directly brought
about through intemperance. For
every dollar of license money re
ceived from the state, two dol
lars were paid out in caringfor
the criminals, paupers and insane
brought to our institutions thru
drink."
Is that a good business proposition
Mr. Taxpayer?
One more illustration and I have
done for this time. Have you never
neara it said that the town will eo
i. it. i . - . . e
iu me oow-wows if the saloon is
thrown out? Note the following:
Fargo, N. Dak., dry for ten vears.
and Morrhead, Minn., with 46 booze
emporiums, are one mile apart.
ury argo has one mile of paved
street to 676 population, wet Moor
head one mile to 8,862 population.
ury rargo has one mile of water
main to 270 population, and one mile
of sewer to 386 population, while wet
iuoornead has one mile of water main
to 702 population, and one mile of
sewer to 858.
The city debt of dry Fargo is $19.-
50 per capita, a ratio to the assessed
valuation of 7.8 per cent. Wet Moor
head has a city debt of $44.79 per cap
ita, a ratio of 20.8 per cent to the valuation.
The tax rate of dry Fargo is 15.95
mills. That of wet Moorhead is 21.83
mills.
Dry Fargo is as much superior as
a place of residence to wet Moorhead
as Heaven is to Mexico. I have statis
tics from all over the Union, Mr. Ed
itor, and shall crave the liberty to
print more later.
Sincerely yours,

Captain Blanchar Asks Fair Play for
National Guards
Editor Courier:
To the people of Oregon City and
Clckamas County:
I would say that the soldiers who
have been seen in this town for the
past three or four weeks and who
have caused more or less trouble, are
not members of Co. L. (the National
Guard Co. of Oregon City) as many
seem to think, but members of a bat
talion of regular troops who are
camped at Clackamas.
I do not think it hardly fair to
judge the entire army and especially
the National Guard by the few men
who have caused trouble in this city.
In the past few years I have had
the pleasure of meeting a great many
clean, upright young men in the U. S,
Army.
A great many people seem to have
the idea that the National Guard is
composed of a lot of lazy shiftless,
rowdies who will not work and who
are a disgrace to the community they
live in, but any one who has this idea
is badly mistaken.
The National Guard is composed of
the best young men of the country.
Mostly hard working industrious boys
with a good sprinkling of high school
students. '
For the benefit of those who do not
know what the National Guard boys
are doing I wish to make this state
ment. The boys do not get one cent of
pay for the work they do except when
they go to encampment for ten days
each summer, then they recevie $1.25
per day. If any men thinks they do
not earn this I would like to have him
go to camp with my company once.
On stormy winter nights when oth
er people stay at home and sit by the
fire, the National Guardsmen must
come out for drill once a week no
matter what the weather is like. Why
does he do this? Because it is fun?
No. Because he is trying to fit him
self to serve his country if he should
be needed.
Of course we hope that the U. S.
will never have another war, but we
never can tell what will happen.
The U. S. only has about 85,000 or
90,000 regular troops, whereas most
of the leading nations have their hun
dreds of thousands. We do not wish
to see the people of the U. S. bur
dened with a large standing army, so
lets encourage the boys of the Nat
ional Guard in their work instead of
giving them kicks and jeers and call
ing them tin soldiers. They are the
ones on whom the heavy burden of
war would fall. And yet there are
men so narrow minded and stingy as
to begrudge what it costs to main
tain the National Guard.
I wish it understood that I am not
making this plea in behalf of the of
ficers of Co. L., we have been in the
National Guard Service so long that
we have become used to the hard
knocks, but in behalf of the enlisted
men, the young boys who are just
starting in. No one who has never
been through the mill knows how
much the insulting remarks and jeers
hurt at times.
But after all perhaps it is thought
lessness and because they do not un
derstand that makes some people do
these things.
Now the time is drawing near when
we honor the men who fought for
their country, why not .give just a
little thought and consideration to the
men who are just as ready to fierht
and die for their country if need be
as the boys of sixty one?
In belhalf of Co. L. I wish to sav
that this Co. stands for law and order
at all times, and I assure the parents
of this community that if they al
low their boys to enlist in this Co.
they will be taught nothing but what
will be on benefit to them.
We are always more than triad to
help in any thing where we can be
of any use to the public. Our earnest
desire is to be a help the people in
sted of a bruden.

IN DEFENSE OF FISHERMEN
Don't Close the River for Benefit of
Portland Rod & Gun Club
There appeared in your paper of
May 9th, an article advocating the
closing of the Willamette river to
gillnetters for salmon and advancing
the theory that the Willamette should
be a closed stream for commercial
fishing and should be used exclusiv
ely for rod and reel.
The Portland Rod and Gun Club
have for a number of years advocated
a measure closing the river entirely
against anything except angling with
hook and line. We are not at all su
prised at the advocacy of such a
measure by that organization. There
has been a manifest disposition up
on the part of men of wealth and of
sporting proclivities for many years
to close a number of streams re
serving to themselves however a right
to participate in the enjoyment of the
catch of our beautiful game fish thru
the indulgence of a sport which is
forbidden to the man .of moderate
means and in the ordinary stations of
life. For many years there has been
a class of honest, industrious laboring
men who are permanent residents of
our county, who have earned a liv
ing for themselves and families by
catching salmon during the open sea
son and selling them to the local con
sumers of this vicinity. There are at
this time about two hundred fisher
men between Oregon City and Mil-
waukie who are engaged in honest
toil with the use of boat and net,
catching salmon for a livelihood.
If the river is closed to that class
es they have the entire Willamette
river in which to fish, from the falls
to its mouth, and there is no closed
season for salmon or slamon trout
for the hook and line. The tendency
of the times seems to be to favor the
man of wealth and leisure but in our
opinion the poor man should not be
deprived of fish which can be caught
at the very doors of many of them to
accomodate the conveniene and grati
fy the pleasure of a few men of
wealth and sportsmen who do not
live in this county.
We say leave the law as it is so
that the poor as well as the rich can
enjoy one of the "gamiest fish in all
the United Staes," the "royal Chi
nook." GEO. A. BROWN
