FIX r HE proposed advance In lumber rates from the northwest states may, If put In effect, be more far reaching In Its conse quences than either carriers or ship pers anticipate. The underlying principle Is of great Import. It Is not whether rates on lumber or any other commodity shall be advanced, but whether In this day of combina tion such a tremendous power fraught with such possibilities can be safely left in the hands of a few traffic officials, responsible to no one save their Immediate superiors. It can never be conceded for one moment that a railroad can gradu . ' ate Its charges on the basis of the prosperity of a community. Reason ' able compensation, remunerative rates are all It is entitled to. Any s - other theory would enable the rail road to divert at any time to Its own treasury a share of the profits of successful Industries or occupations. r To countenance such a power is Im possible. There seems to be a wide differ ence of opinion between the manu facturer and the carrier as to the result on the lumber industry of the proposed advance. On the one hand the manufacturer asserts that it will be actually destructive, carrying In Its train not only partial ruin to the, lumber trade, but a corresponding effect on all lines of business; that no rational reason has ever been given as a Justification for the ad vance; and that the motive actuat ing It la either retaliation or to dl-yz-rert a larger - portion of the profits ' of the lumber industries into the treasuries of the carriers; neither , of which is Justifiable. On the other band the carrier asserts It needs Increased revenue, that the lumber . rates are too low and they must be . equalized.' f . In event the shipments continue - there is no question but what an ad ditlonal tax of from five to ten mil lion dollars will be collected In freights from somebody. On th i other hand if shipments are not , made and the mills close, in some sections there will be commercial stagnation. Such an alternative from such cause ought not to be possible in a Civilized community. The Interstate commerce commis sion now has power to pass on the reasonableness of rates after they are put in effect and to substitute rates for periods not exceeding two years if such rates are found unreas onable. Why would It not be far better to pass on changes in advance rather than wait until the damage is done and then attempt to award repara tion? The public at large are di rectly interested in these questions. Here we have a proposed advance involving the welfare of one of our greatest Industries, which is made effective by the edict of three or four traffic managers. It Is doubt ful if it la wise in the light of mod era conditions to vest such a power In the bands of any one man or set of men. It would be far safer, vhere such changes are proposed, to first submit them to the commission where all parties in Interest could be heard and where not only the carriers and the shippers, but also the public's rights would be con served. There Is nothing unreasonable or revolutionary in this suggestion. The system proposed has been In force in Canada for a number of years and the results have been good. then be "revised by ; It friends," without any definite specifications as to how its 'friends' will re vise it. .' ' ' In the first place, such a promise Is not to be trusted, because it has been made, by Inference at least, before, and not kept. Nor, if the "friends of the tariff," Cannon, Payne, Dalzell, Aldrlch, TCnox, and other leaders, are to revise it, will the revision be what the people want at all? The "friends of the tariff" means the highest protectionists and the friends of the trusts; one might as well set a gang of noted robbers to guard his money. Nor do we think that Mr. Taffs cautious and tentative advocacy of tariff revision will suit these Re publicans. They want the tariff re vised next year, when there is plenty of time and a good opportunity to do it. and they, want tariff revision BDt by the friends, but by the oppo nents of the present tariff. They want a revision that will cut off the immense gratuities given to the trusts and that will relieve the com mon people from the burden of pay ing these gratuities; and they want a bill of particulars In advance as to what the tariff's "friends" propose to do. The Republican party la closely approaching the time when it can not fool a big majority of the Ameri can people any longer on this mat ter, and when It must tell them just what It proposes to do and make them know if such a thing is pos sible that it will keep faith with them. Mr. Taft will not ride far toward the' presidency on his Co- unworthy as this secret accuser makes them out to be; and that it is a wrongi disloyal and injurious thing thus to portray our schools, and lead people of other places to suppose that they are far inferior to those of other cities. In fact, such is not the case. Who Is this self-constituted cen sor? What does he know? What, if any, are his private motives? Why is he ashamed or afraid to step out into the light and show himself? So the Oregonlan's misstatements abont the flogging of the prisoner, Albrecht, were supplied by Mr. P. H. D'Arcy of Salem, who signed them "Observer." Mr. D'Arcy, It will be remembered, is for reasons affecting himself personally, a blttor enemy of Governor Chamberlain, whom though Democrat, he opposed In the last 'election, facts well known to the Oregonlan. The story was manifest ly worked up and published for the purpose of bringing discredit on the administration, the chaplain perhaps being relied upon not to contradict It because he la opposed to flogging under any circumstances. But he being an honest, truthful man, told the truth, and so the Oregonlan's false story was effectually contra dicted. But its purpose In printing the communication of "Observer" la i clear enough. lumbus speech. ANOTHER PORTLAND TRACTION. AT- T HE required amount of stock In the livestock Bhow and country club having been subscribed, the success of the enterprise seems assured. This association, it is believed, will be of great advan tage and value to Portland and all the tributary region.

Ore gon is already becoming noted for the excellence of various kinds of It has been agreed among some congressional and administrative leaders to Introduce in the next con gress a bill providing for an In crease of 10 per cent In the salary of lieutenant general, 15 per cent Increase for majors and brigade gen erals, 20 per cent for colonels, lieu tenant colonels and majors, 25 per cent Increase for captains and lieu tenants and 30 per cent Increase for non-commissioned officers and pri vates, and it Is believed that such a bill can be passed. We think it ought to be, especially on account of the larger pay provided for pri vates and minor officers. If their services are worth having, they ought to be better paid. '. ' . . v. V.'

NEW ORDINANCE WILL PROVIDE BULLJtUN WATER AT CITY DOCKS Bull Run water for the city docks will be the burden of an ordinance soon to be drafted by the city attorney. At the present time the docks along the waterrront are noi conneciea wun mu city mains and the water used lor drinking purposes by those employed on tha Waterrront is taken rrom me river and the water tanks of vessels which may be In course of loading or unloading at the docks. Outarolna vessels are compelled to stock up with water Vrdm the river before commencing their voyages and as a result the ratio of typhoid among those working either on the vessels or the docks is very nign. In order to remedy this condition an ordinance will shortly be drafted ny the city attorney making U unlawful for the docks to be supplied with any water other than that supplied through the city mains.

It is useless, goats, and this reputation can be greatly enhanced, and Oregon can become celebrated as the best stock raising state In the union, and this association, it Is hoped, will help to bring about this result. The club designs to construct elab orate and up-to-date accommodations on Its fine, large tract of ground north of Mount Tabor, and make it a place of many legitimate attrac tions, and one of the most popular visiting and recreation places of the city. It Is to be hoped the plans will be successfully carried out, and the Institution made one of Portland's valuable assets. however, to commend her example to other women, for not many of them are "not afraid of anything," even a highwayman in the dark. o rcgon SiJcligLts A new brick bank building is to be erected In Springfield.

Ac cording to this unknown and masked critic, the public schools of Portland are about the worst in the country, and a disgrace to the city and state, and the teachers are mostly Incom petent and otherwise unworthy. Now, If these are facts. It is cer tainly very Important that the school board should take radical action, and bring about a greati&nd urgently necessary change. But who Is It that Is making these wholesale charges? Articles like these are of value or otherwise, in public estimation chiefly in proportion to the charac ter, ability and experience of their author. It is very easy for some one to make a long string of such gen eral accusations and yet know but little of the public schools. He may be a chronic kicker, or some one with a private grievance or grudge If he is a man whose individuality will give weight and influence to his articles, why does he not sign his name to them, and accept the re sponsibility of them? A newspaper article may be true notwithstanding the anonymity of the writer; a thing is not made true by name signed to it; but such at tacks, if Justified, would be cor rectly valued a good deal more qulck- and easily if the public were In formed who was writing them, bo that he could be looked over and sized up. The public has 'Ittle confidence in the anonymous critic, and will pay little heed to him. It ia gener-j ally suspected that he must have some private reason for bruiting his screeds, which renders him an in competent or unfair critic. The Journal thinks the public schools of Portland could be and should be improved; that they have fallen too much into rut and routine, and are weighted with some barna cles; but it does not believe that they deserve to be represented as bo far behind the times and ao utterly Councilman in relation to a subsurface conduit enforcement to its paving efforts opens -up a very important suDjeci, and his Dlan contemplates a thof ough and systematic consideration of It, which It deserves.

Letters from tke People Not a Reputable Method. Portland. Aug. 29. To the Editor of The Journal Permit me space to deny a statement made by one Hamilton, rep resenting himself to be a first-class life Insurance solicitor. I have been in the life Insurance business for 36 years and have represented the Travel ers Insurance company 26 years in the city of Portland. I have had under me at different times as high as 40 first class men and thla is the first time that I ever knew or heard of such soliciting tricks as Mr. Hamilton speaks of. I herewith auote the entire Daraeranh that appeared In your paper on the even ing of August 28. whereas Mr. Hamilton in his confession of wrong doing states that it is an old trick: "It Is an old trick when maklnar a canvass, for a good agent to sign the name or some prominent person to a note Just to show to another business man. In every instance where such notes are made the shrewd canvasser always destroys them, knowing that thev have only been used as a blind." His confession denies him the rljrht of the title, "good agent." Such a trick as 'be speaks of would not be tolerated one minute among the Ufa insurance profession. This old trick that he speaks of, waa bl own trick, and aa a life insurance loiicuur uiu general manager The Lebanon paper mill la having a big wood conveyor built from the canal to near the mill.

A prise will be srlven to the best tralhed collie to be shown at work with a band of sheen on the grounds. This contest should prove interesting to all lovers of dogs, since the sagacity and intelligence of the collie Is shown to tne highest de gree In the management of, a number of sheep. Similar exhibitions are great events In the hills and sheep-raising districts of Scotland. By the Issuance of an order last even ing requiring all members of the po lice department strictly to enforce the law relative to streetcars exceeding 11 miles an hour within the citv limits. Chief Grltzmacher has taken the first step toward compelling the Portland Railway, Light & Power company to cease the reckless running of cars through the public streets. The order, which came aa the result of Instructions from Mayor Lane, Is the direct result of the killing of Fred J. Rooney by an "S car last Tuesday night at Third and Main streets. So many lives have been sacrificed during the past year owing to the high rate of speed maintained by the cars In all sections of the city that the authori ties are determined to force the rail way company to have motormen exer cise more care In the handling of their cars. The chief's order, which Is addressed to the captains of the three reliefs. Is as follows: "Instruct the officers of your respec tive commands to stop all streetcars from speeding on the streets of this city In excess of the speed limit per mitted by ordinance (12 miles per hour). Arrest all motormen wherever found speeding their cars beyond this limit. It should not be a difficult matter for officers to distinguish and verify to be tween the speed rate of 12 miles per hour as granted by ordinance, and 20 miles per hour as is claimed they are going on most streets. Some drastic measures must be taken in this direc tion in order to stop the wholesale maiming and killing of people by the streetcars of this city." The coroner has announced that. In view or tne testimony or eye witnesses, that Fred J. Rooney, the Spanish-American war veteran, who was struck and fa tally injured by a Third street car, was Intoxicated at the time of the accident and stepped directly in the path of the vemcie, no inquest win be held. Postoffice Inspector O. C. Riches haa returned from Seaside where he made an investigation of the robbery of the Sostofflce which occurred at the resort aturday night. Mr. Riches has no clue to the robbers, whom he believes to bo experts by the manner In which they ODened the safe containing the S600 In money and 7S In stamps which made up their loot. According to the Inspector the men drilled a hole into the front plate of the safe and forced the bar connecting the combination and handle that operates the bolts from Its place, allowing the thieves entrance Into the safe without using powder, In addition to the money and stamps the men stole a number of registered letters, one known to contain 85. They placed their booty in a mall sack and retired to a shack near the depot where they sorted out the money and valuables they wished to keep, placed the rest in the mall sack and threw it Into a clump of bushes, afterward making their es cape. The absence of matches and candles la taken aa evidence that the men carried a small electric flashlight which they used to light their way. Because of the manner in which the men operated and the success attending their work at Seaside, it is believed they are two in number and experienced in their craft Local government offi cials believe they will conduct a seriea of postoffice robberies In Oregon and Washington unless they are apprehended.
