If a local body of men should form
a pool and demand from tho people
of Astoria tribute to the amount of
about $275 a day, ten dollars of
-which was returned each day, the
people would rise In indignation and
term It' robbery! Yet this is about
what the insurance companies get
Irom the city; as it is estimated that
one hundred thousand dollars go an
nually for Insurance premiums and
not over live per cent comes back!
It is certainly n harsh and vindic
tive method of robbery; but it seems
Tto bo a case where insurance mani
pulators have the throat-clutch on
the people. To do business right a
merchant must have his stock insur
ed to fully the amount he owes in
order that a possible loss may be all
his, not his creditors': and this is a
.accessary business precaution. De
s&les this he will, if he can afford It,
"chcjt an insurance for his own bene
Jlt. The interest on the one hundred
thousand dollars paid by this vici
mity to the various grafting and rapa-
clous Insurance organizations would
about pay all the losses which these
companies -are forced to meet here.
.In Other words, these companies
could take this vast sum, loan it out
.at sevent per cent, and the income
would pay all the fire losses Astoria
3ias1
Yet we go on year after year pay
ing In thi3 big sum and never revolt
'in. language that is loud. We grum
"sblc at the injustice of the demands,
tout instead of seeking some means
'vto palliate the evil or wipe out the
disease, we simply sit in Idleness
.-along that line, and commence to
tgather more money to throw into the
vnww of the beast which threatens
our purses "because we have never re
fused to "let down" when the de--tnand
comes.
But the revolt Is bound to come.
A way cau be found to secure pro
jection at less than prohibitive flg
. urcs nnd the matter is being agitat
' -eft. When plans shall have been per
fected, when facts and figures are
s shown proving that insurance can bo
written In a city where fire losses
never occur at a decent rate, then the
present existing companies will bo
ready to fall over themselves to ro
cluce rates to a decent figure to a
jrrlco Justifiable to tho risk incurred.
But our people must take some
emphatic stops If they desiro to hur
ry this grand finale. It Is not enough
to talk about it and say what "should
lio done": prompt cooperation should
dcclaro what "Is going to bo done."
"Tho only way to resume is to ro
srimo," nnd that sentiment should
m&lro every business man and pri
wate cltlzon in the community to bo

demands that this city shall have a
conservative listing for Insurance

had 98,017 plurality over Harrison
on the popular vote of all the states,
but Harrison received 233 electoral
votes, while Cleveland had but 16S,
and all in strict accordance with our
system of electing a president.
It is indeed not strange that this
should happen under the electoral
plan, states whose vote varies great
ly having the same representation in
the electoral college. Kansas cast
304,607 votes for president in 1900;
1 Mississippi the same year cast but
57,459 otes for president, yet each
has eight representatives in congress
and ten presidential electors, and
thus every Mississippi vote counted
six times as much in the choice of a
president as a vote In Kansas.
The largest majority on the popu
lar vote ever given any candidate for
president was that of Roosevelt four
years ago, when he received two and
a half million more than all the other
candidates. The total vote was 13,
528,978, but this was not the largest
vote ever cast for president, that of
1900 exceeding It by more than 400,
000 and being 18.9G7.566.
From time to time there Is agita
tion for election of president and
vice-president by direct vote, but the
agitation has not seemed to make
any great amount of headway. The
only serious difficulty growing out
of the electoral college sjsteni was In
1S7G, when fraud was charged In
several states and congress created
the electoral commlslon of fifteen
which seated Hayes over Tilden by a
vote of 8 to 7. Exchange.

THE FOREST FIRE.
A lighted match and a careless man
And a noble forest's grave!
And wild winds every flame to fan
Is there no power to save?
Mark how the affrighted, deep-wood
things,
Shrink back as the monarchs fall!
And the doe's shrill voice with dis
traction rings
As she bellows her warning call.
Great pines that have stood for a
hundred years,
Go thundering down to doom,
And the wood things, stunned by a
thousand fears,
Stand crazed in the crash and
boom.
The red glare grows and the terrors
spread
As only such terrors can
And the blame should fall on a single
head
The head of the careless man.
