ALAS, L'O ONE THOUGHT OF'IGUINTS" ONE CHANCE FOR SPENDING TAXPAYERS' MONEY HAS BEEN REFRAINED FROM Taxpayer who may think they are hardly uted because they are called upon to pay $350 for preparing a "pet amendment" to ihe charter and $3.1 additional for circulating a peti tion may thank their lucky star that one other means of drawing money out of their pocket ha been over looked, or paused by. There is a freak clause in the As toria itiiative nieaiure. It provides that "argument" may be submitted for-or against any initiative matter that i placed before the people. For example, if those who favir the "eawall" mcanure wanted to pre pare an argument in it favor, thev could have done o, and it would be published, and a copy of the argu ment tent to each and every voter in the city. Estimated -otsay $500 or $1000. Already the city printing bill for this election will amount to enough to buy a poor man a house and lot. Proposed charter amendments come high. But the unlimited possibilities of the "argument" are almoit enough to make one weep, or smile. Such a chance to spend the taxpayers' money. Yet it must be said to the credit of the men back of the "seawall" proposition, and to the 'men who have the publication of the city printing, and to all those who take delight in making "arguments" to be published at the taxpayers' ex pensethat no advantage was taken of this generous provision. Of course they must have known of thi generous freedom, and re frained from using it only because of the desire to save the taxpayer an additional burden. ' Luckily the time for submitting such argument is almost past Warrants Deferred Investigation showed that the necessary preliminary notice had not been served upon the one or more men who are keeping their children out of school in defiance of the law, and therefore it was not pos sible to issue the warrnnts yesterday. The notices in writing will be serv ed, and if ignored then the arrests will be made at once. In Pamphlet Foi City Auditor Anderson hat caused the four proposed, charter amend ments to be published (n pamphlet form, and every legal voter in the city will be sent one of these by mail. The law provides this. Instead of having each of the four amendments published separately it seemed best to have them all placed together, both as a matter of economy .and for convenience. The pamphlet is got ten out in fairly good shape and doubtless many voters will avail themselves of the opportunity to study the amendments over. St Mary'a Library The Library Association of St. Marv's church is making plans to have the lecture of the Rev. Edwin V. O'Hara, on the night of Novem ber 23. more than an ordinary suc cess. Father O'Hara has a wide rep utation as a fine orator and a man of exceptional parts, and his lecture on "The Aims and Ends of Education" should prove of much Interest. There will be a musical program in addi tion. The library already has about 42S volumes, and such funds as the association may secure will be used in extending it. Prospering Nicely n Word was received in this city yesterday from Lawrence Fritst, now In Eureka, Utah, where he Is run ning a successful moving picture house and doing finely. He has a warm spot for otd Astoria and wishes he was back here. He says that on federal election night he took the returns, by telephone, from Salt Lake City, SO miles away, and play ed them up on the most conspicuous wall in the town, much to the edifica tion of an eager populace. He sent his kindest regards " to all his old friends in Astoria. ALEX TAGG Ice Cream 25c. a Qt. FRESH CHOCOLATES, CANDIES, ETC.

According to one of the leading officials of the Oregon Coant Railway Company, the subsidiary organization formed In connection with the pro posed electric line to Seaside, F, L. Evans represents that he now itands prepared to finance the project He wat hired .to promote the enterprise, and the officials of the holding com pany are now given to understand that the money to build the line is ready and waiting, and will be forth coming just as oon a the right of way are secured. The right of way have not been secured a yet. This essential mat ter had been let go until the last moment, and then it wa found there wa a vast amount of work to do in the way of preparing descriptions of property for the deed and in secur ing the consent from property hold er. It is expected that a few proo erty owners may not be overly ready to grant right of way, but no ser ioua trouble is anticipated in winning them over, The line mean so much to the whole section of country through which it will run that a mere right of way seems but a bagatelle in comparison with the rewards to be reaped. Wtih the assurance given the men of the holding company that the finances to build the road have been arranged for the work of securing the rights of way will be eagerly ad vanced. Funeral Saturday The funeral of Mrs. Bertha Ballagh will be held Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from Grace Episcopal church. Interment will be in Green wood cemetery.

K. State Factory Inspector Charles Gram say that his tour of the State in the interest he serves, the Oregon Labor Commission, develops the cheerful fact that the" legal require ment imposed by law are being met with in good spirit everywhere, and that the adverse conditions which have existed throughout the State, are being adjusted rapidly and satis factorily, and the code being recog nized and observed with wide and cordial fidelity. He goes to Seaside today, and will leave up tonight for the capital Bank Officials As indicated in yesterday's Astor- ian, the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Scandinavian-American Bank, of this city, resulted in the re-election of the directors and offi cers of that fine institution, Jowit: Directors: Gust Holmes, H.

Mr. Hendrick son returned to the metropolis on vesterdav morning' express, well pleased with the fine showing made for the year of the bank's existance. Mora Politics- Senator Fulton is in Portland con ferring with members of the state legislature and various politicians in relation to the Statement No. 1 pledges to elect Chamberlain to the federal senate. Strong efforts are now being made to' get some of those who made the pledge to break it, on the ground that the whole matter was a trick worked by the Demo crats and that Chamberlain's selec tion would not be the choice of a great majority of the people. Within the past few days an organized move ment to break down the pledges giv en by some of the state legislators has come to the surface and probab ly there will be'much activity along this line from now on. Some profess to think it would be silly for the Republicans to elect Chamberlain. The question is not expected to trouble the Clatsop delegation very much. Subscribe to the Morning Astorian.

HERMAN SHALLOWNESS OF CER TAIN GUIS IDE GLIMPSE OF TRUE INWARD NESS OF SMITH'S CHAL LENGE FOR MAYORALTY The following communication speaks for itself, and needs no treat ment at the hands of the Morning Astorian. It was written by one who knows: "Astoria, Or., Nov. 12, 1908. "Editor Astorian : "The claim is bevng made for Mr. Smith's candidacy for the mayoralty of the city that his record shows him to be a progressive man, and an earn est worker for "street improvements, etc. I was not but Mr. Smith wants to take the re sponsibility of having inaugurated and carried through some of those improvements, well and good. It is, also, being claimed that through his ability and painsaking efforts, during his incumbency of the office of city attorney, the city was prevented from incurring any losses on street as sessments. "It is yet too early to determine whtether the city will suffer any losses of street assessments under ordinances prepared by Mr. Smith, as city attorney. I am informed that there is at least one suit pending re garding the validity of some of those assessments. However, whether or not the city loses anything on as sessments, the improvements of some of the streets notably Frank lin avenue and other streets connect ing therewith, in Adair's Astoria, has resulted in the practical confiheation of considerable property along the lines, and has been of no benefit to the city. It is predicted by some that the improvement of Irving avenue will result in the same way. "It is hardly fair for Mr. Smith to claim, or for his friends to claim for him, the credit for the city not hav ing lost anything from street assess ments during the last few years. Legislation, notably the law allow ing payments to be made of assess ments, on the installment plan and the law allowing re-assessments to be made in cases where the first assessment shall prove invalid, have Do So Many People -77 a Overcoats, Hats, U L The Reliable Clothier and prevented losses from that source. "Mr. Smith's progressiveness, as a public servant, has been demonstrat ed mostly at the expense of others. It is not a difficult matter, when one is once in power, to tax the people and their property and expend it on public improvements. "Opposed to Mr. Smith for the mayoralty is Mr. Elmore. What Is his record? Is he or is he not a progressive man? Let us loolc into his record. He has invested large sums of his own money in enterprises in our city, in such manner as to create large pay-rolls in the city. He built a large salmon packing estab lishment here which employed large numbers of workmen and distributed large sums of money in our community. He is now at the head of one of the largest sal mon packing establishments on the coast, having headquarters here and making this its distributing point and principal office for the disbursement of its moneys. He is the principal owner and the manager of salmon packing plants along the entire Ore gon coast, making Astoria their prin cipal office, and he is the principal owner of a transportation line, own ing and operating boats to coast ports of Oregon, with this as its head .

It is largely due to his care ful . and business-like management that these industries and enterprises have prospered, and if he is elected to the mayoralty of our city it is our belief that he will give the city the benefit of his business knowledge and training, and that the growth of our city will not be retarded, but will be augmented along rational lines, on business .principles.
