"THT3 ;ssi? THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD. OREGON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1908. r tt it I TOF FIRE FIGHTING NATIONAL CONSERVATIVE COM MISSION GATHERS DATA ON EXPENSES AND MANNER CONDUCTING SAFEGUARD. OF WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. The National Conservation commission Is trying to find out what it costs the country to fight flres. The geological surrey, which is conducting this par ticular branch of inquiry for the commission is sending out letters to city officials all over the country ask ing for data on the additional cost of city water supplies for Are protec tion bey,ond what Is necessary for domestic use. This information will ho combined with other statistics of a similar nature to throw light on the general topic of the conserva- tfo'n of life and property through the prevention of flres, for the uso of tho commission whon it meets here In December to proparo Its report for President Roosevelt. The fact that tho investigations of tho commission have reached a point where such detailed information is being sought is an indication of the substantial progress of its prelimi nary work. For a time, perhaps, the mon who undertook to prepare an inventory of tho country's present natural wealth and the outlook for tho fnturo feared that tho task was going to prove too gigantic for them to flnlBh in timo to submit to the first full meeting of tho commission, December 1. But they say now there Is no donbt that they will place in tho hands of tho commission aprac tlcally complete inventory upon which that body can base its further studies and recommendations. This city flre-flghtlng system in vestigation Is part of a general study of tho conservation of life and prop erty. Tho commission is compiling an immense amount of accurate in formation concerning the naturo and extent of loss of Hfo and property from flres, tho cost of Insurance, water systems and flro departments, and the possibility of provontlng flro through the uso of fire-resisting building matorials and of flro-proof-ing systems, and tho desirability of changes In building system s. The lotters which aro going out now ask for figures on tho total cost of oach city's present distributing system, with the amount of pipe laid and tho number of hydrants, and the cost of the system and materials that would bo required if tho necessity for flro sorvico were omitted and only a domestic supply wore needed. Such cities as havo a separato high-pressure flro system, or contemplate Installing ono, can givo actual figures of tho cost of fighting flres; for othors tho expense can bo deduced with tolorablo accuracy. Some of tho city officials regard their information as confidential, so that no figures will bo available until I tabulations of totals can bo worked out. NOTICE OF SCHOOL BOND SALE. Soaled proposals will bo received by J. B. Dulloy, county treasurer of Coos county, Oregon, at tho office of John F.

Bottor Bond this papor to a frlond. fXJ Roosevelt's m I feel that the country Is indeed to be congratulated upon the nomination of Mr. Taft. I havo known him intimately for many years and I have a peculiar feeling for him, because throughout that time he worked for tho same object, with tho same purposes and Ideals. I do not believe there could be found in all the country a man well fitted to be President. He is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely disinterested and up right, but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation's needs, with out and within, and the broadest sympathies with all our citizens. He would be as emphatically a President of the plain peopla as Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would bo freer from the least taint of demagogy, tho least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of any kind. He has a peculiar and intimate, knowledge of and sympathy with the needs of all our people of the farmer, of the wage earner, of the business man, of the property owner. No matter what a man's occupation or social position, no matter what his creed, his color, or the section of the country from which he oomes, if he is an honest, hard working man who tries to do his duty toward his neighbor and toward the country, he can rest assured that he will have in Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the most fearless of champions. Mr. Taft stands against privileges and he 3tands pro-ominently for the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the founda tion of our national woll being. ENEMY OP TAEIEP. Labor World Sees Dinger In Bryan flan of Tariff for Revenue Only. (From tho Labor World.) Worklngmen and producers gonerally should not delude themselves with the belief that, if Mr. Bryan shall bo elect ed President, his plans for revision of tho tarlT will preent no menaco to the country. Mr. Bryan Is the professed enemy of tho tariff system. Ho would Impose duties, if at all, for rovenue purposes only. On articles competing with what he chooses to call trust-made goods he would havo no duty at all. Any apparent deficit In Import duties arlsiug from revised schedules ho esti mates would bo moro than made up by Increased imports. Of courso, his hopo Is to strike at the great protection States, which happen to bo Republican In politics, like Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Vir ginia, otc. It dooa not seem td matter to him that every dollar's worth of for eign j?oods in tho competitive class com ing into tho United States on a reronuo or free trade basis necessarily by so much reduces the demand for homo goods, thus displacing Just that much American labor. What ho wants to do Is to rebuke and avonso himself upon protected manufacturers who do not agroo woth him In politics and who will have none of him at tho polls, says an exchange. But whllo Mr. Bryan Is gunning for protocted industries and Republican Rtatos, once his proposed tarlft law shonld bo In forco It would fall alike upon all soctlons of the country, the only differences betwoon ono Stato and anothor bolng In the degree of hardship Imposed. Wo hoar of worklngmen saying that this timo thoy intond to voto for Mr. Bryan, bocanso for the past ton months wo havo had hard times. But what good will that do? How is a tariff for revenue, Ignoring 'the protection Idea altogether, going to open the shops and mills? How will the cloctlon of Sena tors by direct voto start tho wheels of Industry? Or the publication of cam paign contributions? Or tho further harassment of the railroads? Or the reorganization of tho House, bo that tho Speaker may bo poworless? Why open this country now to tho markets of tho world when wo havo not suffi cient demand to consumo what wo our selves manufacture? Under Republi can rule we have Just had ten years of unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem ocratic administrations wo havo never had prosperity for any period, long or short. Can't Dlsaffect the Farmers. The failure of Bryan's desperato at tempts to curry favor .with the farmers In lllustrnted by tho mnunrr tu which j ho was received at Crookston, Minn. I Awarding to Congressman Ilalvor Stev- I onson tho event went off as follows: , "Bryan's peeeh at Crookston was a I great disappointment. He actually lost I ground ther for Democracy. Thous ands of people were there to hear him, ahd waiUd till tr o'clock in the even ing before b appeared. Tho address wis a narrow appeal to farmers, a harangue, trying to projudlco them ngalnst Republicanism. It didn't take at all. Only once was there thp slight est symptom of applause. Ho sjioko to a silent, dlmppolntcd nudlcnce.v Oninpnlnu t lMiimtlciii. In the great battle of lSJrf the Bo publlean party again stood for the maintenance of the integrity of the na tion. The fight was against odds pro rtucd by a great industrial (1oivsbIoii, and against the most sophistical argu ments. The Republican party main talutd a campaign of education among th wage-earners and tho farmers, which ultimately led to tho complete defeat of this second fiuantial heresy which has threatened tho Integrity of our business structure. Hon. Win. H. Tuft, ut Kansas City Mo. EOUTELL ON BRYAN. Is His "Shall the People HuleP" Simply "a Local IssusP" Congressman Henry Sherman Bou tell of Chicago, commenting on Mr. Bryan's speech in Iowa, says: Mr. Bryan's question, "Shall tho peo ple rule?" Implies that somewhere In this country tho people do not rule. The only States where tho people do not rule aro the States that are ex pected to give overwhelming majorities for the Democratic ticket. Perhaps Mr. Bryan thinks that his question Is purely "a local Issue." If he Is sin cere, I challenge him to make a speech In VIeksburg, Miss., on "Government by the People." Let him repeat one of his famous anti-Imperialist speeches, simply changing three words, substitut ing "Mississippi" for "Philippines" and "black brothers" for "brown brothers." Let him suggest that wo have as chair man of his meeting John Sharp Wil liams, leader of the Democrats in Con gress, and as vice-chairmen tho other members of tho Congressional delega tion from Mississippi. And after he has made his speech In Vicksburg, if he shall havo escaped the rule of the people In that com munity, I dare Mr. Bryan to repeat his oration on popular government In Charleston, S. C, with Senator Till man as chairman of his meeting. Mr. Bryan's sentiments have a purely geo graphical slncorlty. His epigrams and startling conundrums aro especially de signed to meet local demands. Of this naturo aro all his views on tariff and taxation. Mr. Bryan's proposition that every time a trust Is formed a tariff sched ule should be repealed, and every timo a trusv Is dissolved a new duty should bo added, is too funny oven for comic opera. If on March 4 next Mr. Bryan should boeomo President, with n Democratic Congress In both houses, and should actually place upon the statute books tho financial and economic vagaries de livered by him In his speech of last Friday, It would plunge the nation Into bankruptcy and bring on industrial chaos. If he should begin by repealing the duty on sugar to punish the sugar trust, ho would upset the national finances by losing $00,000,000 a year in revenues, and would stir up a revo lution in Louisiana, Utah, Colorado and Michigan. Then, If ho should re peal tho duty on rotton goods, because some hustling manufacturers of New England or the Carollnas wore dump ing goods In China in rivalry with Eng land and Germany, ho would divert other millions from the treasury and Invite still further Industrial ruin. But, of course, Mr. Bryan would do none of these things, any moro than ho will Invade the solid South and sum mon tho cohorts of Democracy to tho defence of the Constitution with the battle cry "Shall the People Rule?" Mr. Bryan simply does not moan what ho says. What ho utters with Chad bandlan unction in the North he repudi ates with Pecksnlffiau duplicity in tho South. Btmliii-ai Mon Honest. Tho business men of our community as a whole aro honest and their meth ods aro sound. Tho President has nover said otherwise. Indeed, it Is chiefly In tho interest of tho great body of honest business men that he has mado his fight for lawful business methods. Hon. Vfm. II. Taft, to Mer chants and Manufacturers' Association, Boston, Mass. Gratitude ta MolCluWy. Tho highost claim of William Ale Klnley for the gratitude of his coun trymen Is that, In splto of tho abuse and contumely that was heaped upon his head for this policy, ho pluced our country in tho forefront of nations as a clvlllxer and upliftor of unfortunate peoples. Hon. Win. II. Taft, at Cleve land, Ohio.
