large run this season, basing their opiu

spring run has been unusually light.
The increase, in the number of plants,
principally cold storage, will no doubt
put. up the pack. The pack of salmon
has been considerably reduced the past
few year owing lo freight shipment
of the fish in cold storage, which will
probably result in an increased price for
canned salmon. Pacific douvijiil.

We regret that a new -paper in this
cttv should hale atlempteil to preju-
lice the mind of the people in an edi
torial, by hinting that the organization
of a municipal league on the part of the
I "nil .-il laibni 1 igaiiialiiui of thi citv
probably intended to further the

cry contrary i" the truth. Tired of

"Pledging ourselves to the faithful
adherence to the interest of labor, and

submits to the people of Clatsop County
and of the State of Oregon the follow

Public Ownership of Government.
"The people mut nt nil times, own,
and direct their own government. City
ofllcials nre public servants; representa

demand the direct nomination, and re
call, of olliciiils when necessary. Im
portant question, and especially nil
proposals involving of any substantial
public resource, or privilege, should be
settled only by submission to the direct
vote of the people, Corruption of gov

Public Ownership of Public Utilities.
"The people nre the owners of the
public resources nnd opportunitities and
should receive the benefit of their de
velopment. Every public service which,
under private ownership, inquires a
franchise for the use of the public
streets ns a place of business, should
be owned nnd operated by the
municipality for the service nnd
benefit of all the people. The policy of

The result are natural and inherent, in
ihe system of special privilege fran
chise. Every remaining public re
source, and those which the future may
reveal, should be protected, preserved,

Im'cii granted away from the people
should be acquired and restored by a
safe, progreivr and politive policy,

"1'niler the present system the state
printing oflice has been a source of po
