RATHER CHEAP HAGGLING- It may be said, in passing that there is scarcely a biennial legislative ses sion held in Oregon, at which there is not expended, in immensely less compensating ways than for the up lift and progress of one of the State's prideful institutions, as much, and of ten more, than the $125,000 it is pro posed to grant the University of Ore gon; and the haggling that has been done conveys to the world about us, the impression of our cheapness and smallness in things educational. j With a board of regents culled from the brain and character of the State, it would seem that so pitiful a sum as this might be freed, for legi timate uses from the treasury, with out the chance of financial paralysis, or cataclysmal graft; that the great State of Oregon might do this thing with the same spirit and high intel ligence wherewith other States grant millions in such behalf; that$ she might realize that her sons and .daughters are without price when it comes to their equipment for life and its strifes, achievements and graces; that as a great commonwealth she might at least do as much as hund f individuals are doine. daily, X tiJ V - " . . throughout the world m tne cause 01 -higher education, and quit posing as a hide-bound economist on such lines as this, while doing spend-thrift stunts every two years, on people and programs quite outside the re cord of utility and compensatory worth. currents, utilised by the great trans portation agencies whose very lite and service depends the directness and lowest grades of the rails, and the depth and olume of the water ways: This is a primal proposition. and we of Astoria recognise it fully. We have chafed, for years, against the non-acceptance of what, as a river and tidal terminus, we believed we had to offer, and have, with the .1,1. advantage of the rail. We are still relying upon the inevitable, and we know it is nearer than it has been ever in our history. But we know, also, that the to Utnibia river bar, with the best of workinor deoths across it, would be 9 serving but a fraction of its immense duty if only the rail traffic from thi Inland Empire were to go hence via our doors; and that we need every open navigable waterway behind us we can get, and above all, an open, deep and traversable Columbia, to its uttermost mile. With the Columbia river navigable for 1,000 miles the commerce of the lower cities and towns would in crease 1,000 fold, and as we lie at the sea-end of the vast system, we shall stultify ourselves if we do not stand oat for the greatest improvement oD tainable for this mighty artery and all its tributaries. We want a water way tonnage from the interior that shall stagger the exporting facilities nnint of deDarture. from vv.j r - j Portland to the sea, for every chan nel it shall traverse leads to this port. With a free bar, a free nver, and free net-work of inland tributaries, and the rails already laid and yet to be laid, Astoria must find her place and com mercial standard in the tremendous mesh of business thus woven. , , lie lore ine reopiu Cards of Candidates in the Coming Campaign. . i I ; . 1 VOTE FOR r , : . i .. ! V- J' I ti.; I . -4 .':. ..'. ;-, Judge W. E. Burke Repukl'can Candidate for Repre sentative, Primaries April 17, 1908. "NO. 332". When the vote of Oregon shall have been cast and counted in June next, we hope, for the name of civili zation in the great Northwest, that the peremptory sign "X" will have been placed against the margin of the entry, on the ballots, that stands for the law stopping commercial fishing at the head of tide-water in the Co lumbia river. It stands not only for the fixing of legitimate limits to the legitimate in dustry of fishing for, the markets of the world, but amplifies that market for long years to come, by putting a stop to the relentless murder f fry and eggs and makes the spawning of salmon something more than a use less natural function. The affirmative vote on bill No. 332 may drive, at least, 13 people out of business, and a nefarious business at that: while it perpetuates the legit imate calling and maintenance of ten thousand people and millions of in vested money on the lower Columbia, along with an annual revenue to the neoole of the State of over ?3,00U,UUU; and we cannot imagine a popularly stupid indifference, great enough, in Oregon, to compass anything else than the triumph of this bill, over the specious and desperate pleas of tth men whnsp buccaneering fish- wheels have wrought them wealth while it devastated a magnificent industry. Steps will be taken to spread the gospel of truth in this important re lation until it shall reach the last vnter in the State. The word has gone forth from Astoria, well spon sored and plainly stated, and it will be still further stated and vouched un til the last man is the last recesses of Oregon is apprised of the danger that besets the third greatest industry rti the northwest of peculiarly Oregon origin and value. EDITORIAL SALAD By a recent executive order, the American trooper-will enjoy butter, milk, and other delicacies, with his hard tack. This adds 21 cents daily to the cost of keeping him. Please wire for Kipling to celebrate the fact in song and story, as up to the, pres ent the administration has overlooked appointing a poet laureate. Recent events at the New York University would seem to indicate Ithat freshmen who would succeed must possess the civil service qualifications for a member of the police torce. Inasmuch as Charlemagne Tower, retiring ambassador to Germany, is credited with being a diplomatic trouble maker, why not send him to Venezuela to take a fall out of Castro? Tn view of the widespread condem nation of the Aldrich bill, it might be pertinent to stand up in meetin and ask, Who in thunder does want ur To The People. . In suDmitting my name to the elec tors of the Fifth Judicial District for their consideration for the office of District Attorney of said District, I desire to say that if I am nominated and elected, I will, during my term of office, honestly, vigorously and impartialy perform all the official duties pertaining to said office, with out' fear or favor, endeavoring always to accord to every individual, . irre spective of party, politics or person alities, a square deal under the law, keeping always uppermost in my mind the interests of the tax payers of said District and State.
