OPPOSED PHILIPPINE ANNEXATION
Roosevelt Policy Preferred To That
Of Taft Millionaire Declares
He Did Not Oppose
McKinley.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. Andrew
Carnegie concluded his testimony to
day before the House "steel trust" in
vestigating committee. He admitted
that in 1900 he contributed $15,000 to
oppose the policy of imperialism and
tne annexation of the Philippines;
that he assailed Wall street and
branded "stock jobbers" as "para
sites," urged the Roosevelt trust pol
icy in preference to that of Presi
dent Taft, and asked Congress to con
sider that problem carefully.
Mr. Carnegie was subjected to a
fire of questions which put him on his
mettle. Chairman Stanley elicited
from him an attack on stock jobbing,
which probably will influence legisla
tion to be proposed by the commit
tee, and Representative McGillicuddy,
of Maine, took the ironmaster over
some unexpected political jumps.
"Mr. Carnegie,''' asked Chairman
Stanley, "in the organization of the
Carnegie Steel Company of New Jer
sey, why did you divide your stock
into $1,000 shares?"
"To keep them off the Stock Ex
change," was Mr. Carnegie's quick
reply."-
"Why did you want to keep them off
the Stock Exchange?"
"Because I did not believe in stock
jobbing. Because I did not wish to
have any partners in business tempt
ed to speculation. I never in my life
bought or sold a share of stock on the
speculative market. . I was reared dif
ferently. I had a grandfather ruined
in Scotland by stock speculation; I
resolved that it was ruinous to a
young man. Throughtout my business
career I never bought long or sold
short."
Mr. Carnegie said he never opposed
Mr. McKinley.
VERE1N TO GIVE BIG

LEAP YEAR DANCE
GIVEN JY ARTISANS
One of the most enjoyable social
meetings ever held by the United Arti
sans was on Thursday night at the
Woodmen hall, the occasion being a
leap year party. There was an un
usually large attendance, as friends
of the order were invited to attend
as well as the members. The ladies
were not backward in asking their
gentlemen friends to have 'the next
dance" with them. There were very
few "wall flowers," however. The
committee in charge of the affair was
composed of Ren Holsclaw, L. C.
Burke and Miss Anna Gardner. Leon
DesLarzes and Oscar Wooding fur
nished the music for the dancing. It
was the first leap year affair given in
this city this year.

PARDEE INSISTS
HE IS TREASURER
GLADSTONE MAN DENIES MAYOR
TENDERED HIM WARRANT
FOR SERVICES.
CALLED CROSS 'PETTY LARCENIST'
William Hammond, Former Recorder,
Says Claimant Signed Peti
tion of Man
Elected.
"J. C. Paddock has not qualified for
the office of treasurer of Gladstone,"
said J. K. Pardee, who insists that
he is the hold-over treasurer of the
municipality Friday. "He filed his
bond and his oath of office and that
was all. He has never been recogniz
ed by the City Council as the treas
urer. At the meeting of the City
Council I simply asked the Recorder
to give me my warrant for my last
quarter of service, but Mayor Cross
took it. The Mayor took three war
rants signed them and put them in
his pocket. I asked Mr. Cross for my
warrant and he replied: 'You can't
have it' 'Mr. Cross isn't that mine?'1
said. He said ,'By what authority?'
and I said because it wa3 my prop
erty. Mr. Pardee said that he went to Mr.
Cross-' office the following day and
was refused the warrant. He declares
he told Mr. Cross that he Cross) was
guilty of the smallest piece of petty
larceny he (Pardee) had ever heard
of.
"I was elected when the city was
incorporated, said Mr. Pardee. "My
term was extended by the following
in the city charter:"
"All laws, ordinances, rules of order,
passed or adopted by the present City
Council of the City of Gladstone, or
business transacted by said Council,
are hereby validated.
"The election and appointment of
all officers of the present City of Glad
stone are hereby confirmed and their
terms of office shall conform to the
requirements of this Charter. The
term of office of the three Councilmen
now serving for the one-year period,
shall expire on the last day of Decem
ber, 1911, and their successors shall
be elected at the next election pro
vided herein. The term of office of
the three councilmen now serving
for the two-year period shall expire on
the last, day of December, 1912, and
their successors shall be elected as
herein provided. The term of office
of all other officials of the City of
Gladstone, heretofore elected, shall ex
pire on the last day of December,
1912, and their successors shall be
elected as herein provided. Present
appointive officials shall hold their
office under and subject to the pro
visions or this Charter.
"That all acts and parts of acts, in
so far as they conflict herewith, be
and the same are hereby repealed."
William Hammond, former Record
er of Gladstone made the following
statement:
"Under the provisions of the State
law passed in 1893 and found in Sec
tion 3208 of Lord's Oregon Laws, this
being the law under which the City
of Gladstone was incorporated by the
election held on December 24, 1909,
the officers elected at the time of the
incorporation held 'such offices re
spectively only until the next general
municipal election.' If Gladstone had
remained under the provisional char
ter such next general election would
have been held on 'December 5, 1911.
However as the city adopted a char
ter of its own on July 31, 1911, said
next general election was by said
charter fixed for December 4, 1911.
"Those who drafted the new char
ter and the attorneys hired by the city
to pass upon its legality and all of
the officers, with the exception of J.
K. Pariee, the treasurer, and T. C.
Howell, a councilman, who was a can
dicate for re-election, filed their resig
nations to take effect on the first
Monday in January, 1912, the day pro
vided in the charter for new officers

It had been planned to give
the affair at the Masonic Temple, but
owing to the large number of entries
it was found that the room would not
be large enough to accommodate the
large number of birds. Many of the
poultrymen of the county as well as
the state have decided to have ex
hibits, and from all indications the
exhibition will be an unusually fine
one.

, HE SAYS
DIMICK ASKS POINTED QUESTIONS

HISTORY OF CANEMAH
ROAD FRANCHISE COUN
CILMEN ALSO ARE
ACCUSED.
C. Schuebel, Friday, issued another -statement
regarding the former ad
ministrations of Mayor Dimick. He
asserts that the slot machines and
other forms of gambling had not been
stopped three months before the ex
piration of Dimick's last term as
Mayor. Mr. Schuebel alleges that C.
D. Latourette, when Mayor, was of
fered $500 a month to permit slot ma
chines and other gambling games to
operate, but that he permitted no
gambling. He says Dimick succeeded
Latourette, and slot machines and
other gambling games "were run op
enly in violation of the law during
Mayor Dimick's four years of admin
istration. Were the saloonkeepers
and gamblers willing to pay as much
during Dimick's administration for the
Mayor's protection a they offered
Mayor Latourette?"
Mr. Schuebel's letter follows:
Oregon City, Or., Jan. 12, 1912.
To. the Editor:
Possibly there are one or two citi
zens in Oregon City who believe May- .
or Dimick's statements are correct in
regard to granting franchises. For
their benefit I will state the facta as
they are of record.
Ordinance No. 274 on page 162 of
the charter was passed November 5",
1902, and approved by Mayor Dimick,
November 10, 1902.
This ordinance grants to the O.
W. P. & Railway Company's fran
chise to operate express and freight
cars on Main street, and Third street
for a period of ten years, for which
the company pays the following com
pensation. (Sec. 10 of the Ordinance.)
Sec. 10. ''For the first five years,
from November 1ft 1902, four hundred .
($400) dollars per annum, and for the
remaining five years, the sum of five
hundred ($500) per annum; as a
further consideration for the granting
of this ordinance the aaid railway
company, its successors and assigns,
shall within five years from Novem
ber 10, 1902, put down on and along
said railway, on the paved portion of
Main street, rails not less than six and
one-half (6 1-2) inches in depth and
weighing not less than seventy-five
(75) pounds per yard, provided that
curved rails in sidetracks, turnouts,
and switches may be six (6) inches in
depth, and all such rails shall be of a.
pattern and shall be laid on a founda
tion to be approved by the said City
Council.".
The citizens of Oregon City objected
to granting the franchise because it
did not provide for sufficient compen
sation, and further that no freight
franchise should be granted on Main
street, but that all freight should be
carried on Water street, Mayor Dim
ick disregarded the will of the pub
lic and the best interests of the city
in granting the freight franchise, just
as he is now doing in regard to the
appointment of a Chief of Police.
Just three years after Mayor Dim
ick's freight franchise was granted to
the O.-W. P. & Railway Company for
ten years for practically a song, the
railway company proposed another
freight franchise for which they were
willing to pay as follows: (Sec. 6 of
the Ordinance.)
. Sec. 6. "The Oregon Water Power
and Railway Company, its successors
and assigns, shall pay, annually in
advance to the City of Oregon City,
as a license for the running and oper
ating of said passenger, express and
freight cars as aforesaid, the follow
ing sums, to-wit:
For the first five (5) years from the
date of approval of this ordinance
the sum of eight hundred ($800) dol
lars per annum; for the second five
(5) years the sum of eleven hundred
($1100) dollars per annum: for the
third five (5) years the sum of four
teen hundred ($1400) per annum; for
the fourth five (5) years the sum of
seventeen hundred ($1700) dollars
per annum ; for the fifth five (5) years
the sum of two thousand ($2,000) dol
lars per annum; for the sixth five (5)
years the sum of twenty-three ($2,300)
dollars per annum; for the seventh
five (5) year3 the sum of twentysix
hundred ($2,600) dollars per annum."
This franchise was passed by the
council (with the assistance of the
councilmen who were in the employ
of the railroad company). The citi
zens protested against the franchise
because they were oppsed to grant
ing a freight franchise for Main street,
also it was for too long a term and
the compensation was not sufficient.
Dr. Sommer vetoed the ordinance.
The franchise also provided for
groved rails 7 inches in depth, weight
to be not less than 75 pounds per
yard, the tracks to be laid in concrete,
and Belgium blocks to be laid between
the rails and one foot on each side,
and in other ways protected the in
terest of the city.
The above franchise was Drinted in
the Oregon City Enterprise in the
issue of September 22, 1905, and is
now on file in the Enterprise office.
In three short years, according to
the railway company, the value or
the freight franchise had more than
doubled. Was Mr. Dimick looking af
ter the interests of the city or the
railroad company at the time he ap
proved the freight franchise in 1902?
