We do not profess to rt able to solve the riddle of the universe nor to know It all, but we know Just enough to know that no one else knows It all. Ideas are very prevalent nowadays, yes, thanks to our "glorious eonstitu Hon," we all. even unto the meanest of . have a right to air opinions. Fools and their opinions are, of course, in cluded everywhere. Th;re are ?nan opinions, but few of thorn count. How ever, let us stick to the tax question. lor It will surely stick to us, ana set what our aggregated idea will work ut. There are many views of things short views and long views, side view and back views, front views and n Tiews, but the tax view Is a present view. Recently, In this city, vice had a set back. It Is well, the lawless must be made to know that we have laws, those who live In disregard of laws are anarchists and those who thrive pot vice are the veriest anarchists, So the statute books must be posted up now and then, at least to let somt people know that they are under cer tain moral and legal obligations to aociety at large. This was done anj the office holders and their kin set up howl that our patriotic citizens are aot willing to support morality and decency: we deny that proposition, but If true, they have very little respect for their families. Vice may make noise and excitement, but It does not build cities and towns that stay, and the revenues shut off from that source are more than compensated for In the jVIctory of mornjity "We can esti mate in dollars and cents the beneflt that comes from vice, but the beneflt that conies from good and morality Is inestimable. ,A man's physical strength an be determined and registered, but ' the real value of his mind is an un ' known value and. quantity. Physical fcr nan may be known but pschycologi ally he is a guess, an estimate, an pinion merely. Just so, we can not enlcnlate, at present, the good of the movement Atsorla has so long been fn need of, but virtue is a more prod active soil than vice and the results In dollars and cents will also, in the end, prove itself. We are not trying, to sermonize, but state those things we Jo know. If we are going to dedicate this dear id world over to a tax gathering party we would better set aside ot trample under foot all the beauty and truth of it; all that is lovely and fair and let a high carnival of vice reign that a few dirty dollars may be gatn ered from evil sources. Xow, to be practical, if we haJ a direct tax, an income tax this dilemma could be teadlly solved; for instance let those who receive the most profit from so elety and their dealings with society pay a proportionate tax or a tax com Biensurate with the gain they receive tram the public, for all their gain eomes from the public, and those most able should bear the greater measure ef tax. That Is your simple form of taxation, but our system of Indirect taxation is complex and society is fulr f tax escapers and evaders, so It i difficult to handle the question. But to go along content to fasten a certain proportion of tax on crime and in crease the crime by tax and allow the wriggling miserable) to suffer out such aa existence does not appeal to sense or virtue. The syBtem Is bad; now Is the time to fix a proper system. IJfe iti but an educator, simply a school- all the while each and every one of us is in It and your council has now a good chance to study the tax question, exercise their brains a little and work out a decent standarJ by which reve nues may be got. This furore about the town being stuck is all folly, the alarmists are yelling fire where there is even no smoke. They are simply disconcerted, because vice has been unseated. Let tliem cant about like strong men and sensible men and fix a system that h is merit and stability In It. Astoria will be here many year fter all these little fellows leave the andone work to others. COMMON SENSE. Ordinances Not Signed. Mayor Surnrenant has not signed any of the ordinances passed by the council Friday night, but will prob ably approve all of them except the ordinance imposing a license of cloth ing, dry gods and boot and ahoe mer- hunts. None of the merchants Inter- ested are in favor of the ordinance unless all merchants are included. Some of the councihnen would not hare voted for It, but they read some where that the merchants had been consulted in regard to It and were in favor of it, when as a matter of fact, none of them were consulted. PROPOSITION IS DECLINED Another Meeting of the Jobbers and Railroad Officials Will Be Held in I Portland Thursday When It Is Ex. pected an Agreement Will Be Made, Crowded Houses at the Star. Two . crowded houses greeted the Star last evening and many had to be .turned away. Those who were able to get in speak in the highest terms of the show. The D Moiers. brother and sister, as the king and queen of seven silver circles, was something new in Astoria and Is one of the best numbers ever produced in the city, and their versatility and con ception of their turn won for them continued applause. Mustard Cook, high-class vocalists, are the best ever seen at this house. Bert Newhall, the female Impersonator, Is very clever. The Knox brothers In their mustcal comedy act eclipsed anything of the kind ever produced in Astoria and are certainly world beaters. Portland. April 10. The North Pa cine voiuk jonoers- Association, rep resenting the wholesale Jobbing inter ests of Portland, Seattle and Tiuoma are dissatisfied with the compromise proposition offered by the transcon tinental railroads at a meeting between the association and railroad men last week, regarding a readjustment of the freight tariffs between coast po4tit and the interior. It Is stated that the Jobbers will at the meeting with the railroad men, which ta expected to occur Wednesday or Thursday of this week, decline to accept the proposition and will re new the requet for the concession asked for at the meeting between the jobbers and the traffic men held in January lust.
