ONLY LEMONS FOR PORTLAND.
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. . -

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.

It seems Quite reasonable that
such a "straw vote" as; this indl-:

SUCCESS MAGAZINE , last Janu

to Its 12,000 life subscribers,
persons ranging in age from un

occupations, and received answers

on the subjects inquired about. On
the first question; "Should the gov

over , corporations . doing ah. inter

though among those who answered

the "ayes" were 9.137 and the
"noes"; only 1761 Supposing these

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

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

as an issue. He has ref used, and is
refusing to urge the election , of

anterior to the primaries, refuses to

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."
