T rHE discovery that Portland has bees choused out of contracts lor supplies for Manila to the extent of $3,000,000 or 14,000,- 000 Is only a repetition of what long since developed into what appears to be a settled policy' or the govern ment Portland -people, it is alleged, wer;e not permitted to bid on these supplies, though as the department must know, Portland men are better situated to make successful and ad vantageous bids than those of San Francisco, especially in the principal Item of flour. . : ' This discrimination against Port land by both the war and the navy departments has been going on for vears, especially ever eince the Spaitfsh war. broke out. . For years after that event Seattle furnished supplies as against Portland, having to ship flour from Minnesota and other , supplies from long distances and even through Portland itself to do so. No means were spared- to give everything to Seattle and noth ing to Portland, and "the .same has since been and Is now true as to San Francisco. The government, acting by officers determined to favor that c ity as against Portland, has repeat edly and in various ways discriminat ed grossly against this city, this lat est case being only an extreme ex- ' ample. .'.,.'. 1 -., It is time that a rigorous investi gation were made, and the fact de termined as to whether a department of the government "can thus select one city for favors and another for injury; whether Portland is always to be banded nothing but stale lem ons, while another city is loaded with choice, sweet fruit If the fault lies with the Portland people, as has ' sometimes been alleged, let us know that, and not disguise the fact But i f, as' appear probable, Portland is continually and systematically made the victim f of unjust and almost necessarily dishonest discrimination. that fact ought to be ascertained and made known. Portland can get no battleships to visit it, although any village port of California can get a visit from them. Portland can get no supply contracts, though farbetter prepared to fill them than any other Pacific coast city, while San Francisco can get everything It wants on its own terms. Why Is this? . Who are responsible? What is there In it for themT And how long is Portland going to stand for it? In congress would do well to no tice. . - The vote on candidates for prest dent stood as follows: Roosevelt, flrst choice, 6,400 J second choice, 25. Bryan, first choioe, 1,178 second . choice, 695. Taft, first choice. 1,110 ;r second ch61caui.fi 0 Hughes, first choice,' 976; second choice, 1.888. . John Johnson, first choice, 192; second r choice, 398 La Follette, first choice, 80; second choice, 4S9. For other candidates the first" and second eholces stood. respectively: Torn Johnson, 67, 100; Fairbanks, 32, 84; Cannon, it, 18; Foraker. 5. 81. Cortelyou, 23, 132; Folk. 22, 47; Knox. 17, 16; Root 14. 11; Gray. 12. 4. Success says that many interest ing and thoughtful letters were re ceived with the votes, which "indi cate two extraordinary facts; one. that strict party lines are breaking down to as unprecedented extent; and another that there Is a strong feeling that President Roosevelt, as one writer put it, 'has no right to desert us." W.e. may add the sig nificant fact that while a large plurality of these . voters are for Roosevelt as first choice, the first choice of the next greatest number is Bryan, with Taft a close third. The people casting these rotes are engaged in over 400 occupatiftns. In business life. Including bankers. financiers. Insurance officials and agents, merchants, : manufacturers, managers, accountants and clerks, there are 3,171; In. professional life, clergymen. lawyers, physicians, dentists, teachers, engineers and those engaged in government and ailroad service are 8,034, 2,653 are set down as land owners, country gentlemen and men of leisure; 825 are students and 953 are engaged in a great variety of other occupa tions. ... , ". I It seems Quite reasonable that such a "straw vote" as; this indl-: cates pretty well the sentiments of the more Intelligent and thoughtful portion of the voters of the coun try, ' and therefore the results an nounced are certainly interesting: THE O. R. A N. WILL FIGHT. I AS 1XTERESTTXG "STRAW TOTE." SUCCESS MAGAZINE , last Janu ary sent out several questions to Its 12,000 life subscribers, persons ranging in age from un der 20 to over 00, living in all partsof the country, and of all classes and occupations, and received answers from most of them which it con eludes Indicate the trend of opinion on the subjects inquired about. On the first question; "Should the gov ernment exercise a stronger control over , corporations . doing ah. inter state business?" the affirmative an swerS were, 9,146 and the negative answers only 209. More" remark able were the replies to the second Question, which was: "Would you support the president and -congress In carrying out corporation "reforms1 which would tend to the betterment of social conditions even If it, meant some personal sacrifice to yourself in the way of "money panics,' restric tion of bank credit, and other mat , ters affecting business?" And . al though among those who answered are many. bankers, lawyers, manu facturers and other business men, the "ayes" were 9.137 and the "noes"; only 1761 Supposing these replies to be sincere, this vote is in deed surprisingly ... encouraging. It Indicates that the people are willing to sacrifice considerable to bring about honest;' government and bet tor conditions in public and busi ness affairs. .- "r'.v,',,'" - ; W , - On the Question of permanent re ientton of the' Philippines, 5,214 voted for and 3,994 against. The upbuilding of the. navy, was ap proved by a vots of 8,2 J8 to 1,088. Roosevelt's administration was 'ap proved by ; 8,648 ;to 649. There were 9,080 votes in; favor of ex pending great sums of money for the development of ; our ; national 4 re t ourcesy , such as Internal : waiter wjys and irrigation, and only 266 statnst it,'- This Is another fslg-r-ncant and gratifying "straw' kh the fossils and standpatters T WAS NOT reasonably to be ex pected that the O." R. & N. com pany would submit to the reduc tions in distributive freight rates out of Portland ordered by the rail road commission. To most persons viewing the case by itself those re ductions appear to be very reason able and moderate, and such as the people to be benefited thereby are well entitled to, especially since the O. R. & N. if each year making large net profits in this territory, indeed It may be confidently asserted that the commission's rates are Just and reasonable and Its order should be obeyed. '', But the matter will be taken into the federal courts, where a final de cision will not be reached for a good while, and of course no safe predic tion can be made as to what that de cision will be. , It is probably true. as suggested by the railroad's attor ney, that , this case does not stand wholly Independent and alone, .but that these reductions, if made, would affect rates on other lines and into other territory; but even if this be so it should not serve as an ex cuse for permanently maintaining these manifestly exorbitant rates. As in all similar cases, the state courts will not be allowed to try out and decide this matter. The fed eral courts will be appealed to, on the ground that the ordered reduc tions would affect Interstate com merce, and doubtless this will be a sufficient reason for assumption of Jurisdiction by the federal courts. At all events the state commis sion has done its duty, and is pre pared to make out a strong case. If the people eventually win out, the ultimate results will be vastly bene ficial to the people of the state; and even if this case is not won the final effect cannot fall to be advantageous to them. In one way or another, finally, the people will secure rea sonable rates and obedience to state laws within state territory. This is the first battle; if it should be lost, the cause is not lost moter now. Of what value Is It to be for Statement No. 1, it the means of carrying Statement No. 1 into ef feet, to-witt a Statement No. 1 ma jority Ju the legislature, is not to be fought for? .'. Since he desires to be a beneficiary of that majority, if Mr. Cake la not to be an assistant and factor in securing this majority, who Is?- ' Mr. Cake's new attitude, by the loss it means to ; Influences for Statement No. 1, makes the measure more than ever an. issue. , His voice in that behalf ought to have been unwavering. It ought to have been unwavering for its effect in the pending election. It ought to have been unwavering, because the man who goes as senator to Washington should be loyal in his defense of the measure at all times. He should he loyal to It so that the prestige of his great office if he be elected shall be exerted on all occasions and through all exigencies in defense of the measure. HOBSOX'S MANIA. R' EPRESENTATIVEI HOBSON is a man of one Idea; to this he subordinates all other ideas. He has made this idea so prom inent that much truth that needs to be considered In connection with the same subject is excluded from his mind. When he seriously tells audiences that Japan is likely to land four armies of 26,000 each on this coast, capture San Francisco, Portland, Los Angeles and the cities on Puget sound, and after looting and reducing them, return home with their booty," and again that Japan could land an army of 1,000,- 000 men on our shores in nine months, he becomes ridiculous to al most everybody but himself. That it is well to have a fleet in the Pa cific, that this coast , needs one as much at least as the Atlantic coast, we agree; but that Hobson's picture of what Japan will probably do, or could do, Is anything but purely fan ciful, level-headed men cannot con cede. The reasons why there Is not one chance out of a million of Japan' doing any such thing as Hobson pre dicts have often been stated, and are obvious to everybody but him. Whether it is wise and necessary to build up a great navy is a debatable Question, but this imminent "Japan ese peril is mere Hobsonia, a Hob sonlan fad, a real or affected mono mania over which sensible people will not -become in the least alarmed. WILL CONTINUE AN ISSUE. jl HE late primaries by no means eliminated Statement No. 1 as an issue. It will continue to be an issue, and si pressing is sue until after the June election. It will be a pressing Issue until after the meeting of the next .legislature. Nor will It be settled then. It will continue to be an issue until the last a. a A- 11 M il. . vestige of opposition . to u in tue state has been overthrown. ', The victory! for the measure won in the late primaries, Is only a first skirmish. Already the politicians are hatching out schemes, not only to defeat it In June, hut to balk Its operation In the legislature. They will fight It as long as hope lasts. With them It Is a struggle for sur vival as political factors; for main tenance of Statement No. 1 means the utter elimination of their power in politics and the exercise of that power by the people. It is, there fore, a struggle in which they are desperate,' because fighting -for po- lltltal survival.'- r-:'y'i H' - . : 1 Mr. Cake ' has by Jiis f latest at titude,; emphasized Statement; No. 1 as an issue. He has ref used, and is refusing to urge the election , of Statement No. 1 candidates (only to the legislature. ' He ; that; : was ' a foremost champion of .the measure anterior to the primaries, refuses to be its vigorous defender and pro- j The house of representatives, it is reported, is going to try to pla cate general indignation among the people by passing the Vreeland cur rency bill, so that members can point to the record they made in cur rency reform. But this will not have much effect, forUwo reasons; first, the people tlont know any thing about the Vreeland bill, and don't care so much about currency tinkering as about several other matters; and second, it is unlikely that the house leaders expect- this bill to pass the senate. It' is only another motion to fool the people. Protection to American labor" has always been one of the principal claptrap cries of the protected Inter ests, but whenever and wherever the subject is looked into, it is found that the high tariff does not protect labor at all. The employers buy la bor as cheaply as they can, and never divide profits. While the pa per trust is making millions a year net profits, its worklngmen, ac cording to testimony given in Wash ington,' are paid an average of a lit tle less than $11 a week. This is a sample of "protection to American labor." ' ; , Small Ckaagte Are Pt Sva-n and Anna lost v.';'-.- ; -j:- ..: And what has beoome of Evalyn? .
