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.

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.

FIIICES READY FOR
ELECTRIC 111
THIS ASSURANCE IS NOW
GIVEN LOCAL MEN BY THE
PROMOTER OF PROJECT.
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

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.

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

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
. People who use meat in quantities and want wholesale prices are re
quested to come to the Frank L. Smi th Meat Co. and get quotationa. We
guarantee our meats to be fresh, pure and wholesome. We don't care
what the other fellow asks you, Smith will sell cheaper. He wants ths
business. '" ' .' '''."
