"Flag of the free heatrs' hope and
home!
By Angels' hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in
Heaven.
Forever float that standard shet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be
fore us.
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming
o'er us."
JOSEPH DRAKE.
"BY THEIR WORKS...
The politician who trie? to make the people instead
of the legislature shoulder the responsibility for the huge
appropriations which have increased the burdens of the
taxpayers either takes a long chance at being called for
- his bluff or hopes the voters will not inform themselves
of the facts in the case. In the first place the members
of the legislature in referring various measures which
the voters have approved recently passed upon those
same measures favorably as the preliminary step in sub
mitting them to the people.
Again the claim that the taxpayers voted the larger
amount of tax on themselves doesn't "hold water" when
applied to the great number of expenditures which the
tax-burdened public is now protesting. - For a few ex
amples: The members of the legislature, themselves
vofed last year $175,000 to the Pacific International Live
stock Association a private organization of stock men,
bankers and speculators; $25,000 to the Oregon State
Tourist .Information Bureau an excellent thing for the
railroads and land speculators who should pay for it;
$75,000 to the Pacific Northwest Tourist Association ex
penses to help Washington, Idaho, Canada and Oregon to
attract and entertain tourists at a time when Oregon
taxes are so high they will drive all classes of settlers and
investors away to .other states where taxes are lower;
$171,000 for the Oregon State Fair which like the Pacific
International Livestock Association should be self sup
porting. Here is a total of $446,000, every item of which
could have been omitted without injury to the state.
The last regular legislative session cost the state for
clerk hire alone for forty days $43,000 or over $1000 per
day. And during the last special session the kind hearted
senators and representatives appropriated $64,000 for the
fish hatching business which benefits the canning trust
of this state.
These are but a few items that show the wanton and
.inexcusable sowing broadcast of the taxpayers money.
The taxpayers voted none of these items. The legis
lators voted them and on their records many are asking
a ' return game. "By their works ye shall know them"
applies to the qualifications of governors, commissions
and legislators as to all other aspirants for public office.
LIGHT THE PIPES OF PEACE
The council at its meeting this week took the proper
course in its effort to determine the advisability of Singer
hill site for the city hall before subjecting two sites to
the ballot which means the renewal of a bitter sectional
fight, the defeat of one or the other site, followed prob
ably by the recall of the bonds if the down town site shall
carry.
Oregon City occupies in this matter of the city hall
a very unfortunate position one of dissension where
there should be unity. The utility of position has become
secondary in the contest, to personal and sectional feeling.
At every council meeting in which the matter is brought
up there is the same contention that there is only one place
for the hall. And in this contention the desire of the ma-

jority is not mentioned. And over against this attitude
there appears increasing opposition to the down town
site.
Several of the firms along main street which have
been depended upon to oppose a hill site are reported as
now favoring the same in the interests of harmony, and
united city. Both sections, if the Singer Hill site, is
feasible for an attractive, conveniently arranged building
which will serve the entire city with the obnoxious jail
below and the swell truck above, should yield personal de-
sire to the public good. And the -big chiets in the council,
the warriors above and below the bluff, the medicine men
and every brave in the village wrould better light the pipes
of peace and boost for a bigger, better united city.

THE HUMANE SOCIETY
An organization whose work and influence is essen
tial to the welfare of the community but whose efforts
are little emphasized is the Humane Society. The work
it performs is not of the pleasant nor of the "flowery"
variety. Its chief function is to protect against violations
of the laws of human kindness and to punish for acts of
cruelty against helpless, unfortunate humanity or the
dumb ammals. Its mission, also, is to provide comforts
and protection.
The water trough for dogs and horses, the drinking
dish for birds are examples of the comforts it advocates
and which in thousands of cases it has provided to com
fort these helpless creatures. The strayed and homeless
cats and other animals of little or no intrinsic values find
in the Society their best f ripnds.
To the cruel drivers of horses, sore, maimed or unfed
this organization gives a warning. And it demands that
the starving, the shelterless and the sick shall be fed,
housed and given treatment and care.. And those who
neglect, beat or otherwise maltreat the dumb and help
less creatures of creation are warned or punished.
The Humane Society-should be encouraged and sus
tained in their humane efforts. The members are do
ing nobly and unselfishly for the dumb friends and ser-
vanis oi manKina, ana ior cne aengntiui songsters oi me
air. May they go forward in this good work sustained by
the enforcing elements of the law, by a united public sen
timent and by public disdains for those who ill-treat or
injure the children, the birds and the dumb" animals en
titled to the protection and kindness of mankind.
BONUS
Twenty-nine senators have declared that a soldiers'
bonus measure shall be voted on at this session of con
gress. It doth not yet appear what the measure shall be
nor how it shall be financed but when it shall be brought
forth it will probably be likp unto the others which went
glimmering before.
Meanwhile the Chief Executive is in perfect accord
so long as the payments may be made in cash and in the
game manner as bricks are made without straw.
To the boys who wore the khaki the jirfgle of the coin
is still heard afar off.
NEW VALUATION TARIFF PLAN
The scale of wages in foreign countries against whose
labor American workmen are compelled to compete is
used as argument in defense Of the proposed tariff laws.
lhe lollowing is the comparative scale showing earn
ings in the chief countries of the. world:
United States :. $30.32 per week
Germany
Japan
England
France
Belgium
Italy
5.17 per week
6.68 per week
15.68 per week
8.69 per week'
9.43 per week
4.86 per week
The purchasing power of gold in the various coun
ties is also combined with the results of labor and the
claims of tariff. An ounce of gold in the United States
purchases, 17 hours of labor.
In Great Britain purchases 50
In Japan purchases .95
In France purchases 117
In Germany purchases
..201
And from these statistics there may be gleaned the
mam reasons ior,a tann on ioreign manulactures or
other productions. The phase of the tariff problem h&re
obvious is the protection of the American workman. ' It
does not exhibit the other side which is increased cost to
others and to himself on goods and products essential to
the daily needs.
The tariff bill now before congress provides for what
is termed the valuation plan. By this scheme the tariff
is based on the American wholesale value instead of be
ing based on the foreign wholesale value as under our
present system. And the advantage to this country in
the proposed over the existing plan is clear to the average
person so far as protection goes. . The foreign wholesale
value is tar less than the value here on account of -the
smaller cost of prdduction, and the depreciated values of
European currency.
It is declared that the mail order houses and the im
porter, profiting by. the lower costs at the noint of rro
duction in foreign countries are almost a unit against this
new v amation plan Known as the Jb'ordney Tariff.
Standards of living, factory operation, the wage scale
ana tne price oi goods, as well as the benefits of protec
tion play the important parts in all tariff adjustments.
