VALl'K OF OI'KX KIVIMIS.
""HE Oregonlnn has admitted that
I there Is need of an open river
below I'ortland. so that heavily
laden ships can come here.
but argues that up-river Improve
ment is useless because railroads
can carry freight cheaper than small
boats, such as can run In those wat
ers. can.
If this position be correct, what Is
the use. ns the Pendleton Tribune
asks, of the Celllo canal? Deep
draft steamers can never run above
the Cascades, or probably Van
couver, "at the farthest; on this
- theory It was a waste of money to
build the Cascade locks, and the
river beyond should be let alone.
It Is strange Indeed that even (he
Oregonlan should at this late day be
gin to preach such a doctrine as this,
when everybody who considers this
Bubject at all well knowB that poten
tial If not actual water navigation
controls railroad rates, along the
waterway, or between distant points
with water connection.
It makes no difference to the pro
ducers and consumers whether the
navigable river Is used or not, so
long as the railroad rates are re
duced to the level of water rates
And no sooner Is a river rendered
navigable or a canal built so as to
tspsaMip' navigation to a region than
the railroad rates tumble.
It is true that after forcing oppo
sition boats off a river the railroad
could raise rates again, and could
repeat Ihe process, but the time is
soon coming when this will be pro
hibited by law; a railroad will not be
allowed thus to monopolize business
at rates first too low and then extor
tlonately high. For railroad owner

ably r"sult in stricter and more
drastic government control. If not In

brought to Portland around the
Horn by water, but Portland has

ISCrSSING the Independence
party movement the Phlladel
phla North American views it
quite seriously as Indicative of
a possible new party that will sweep
the country in the near future, and
compares it to the start of the Re

the effort of the Oregon State
drange to raise funds by volun
tary contribution, for use in fighting
the Pacific States Telephone corpor
ation In the Inters effort to destroy
the Initiative and referendum, and
the corporation tax law. The case Is
to go to the. .supremo court of the
lulled States. it is essential that
the best legal talent shall be avail
able In defense of the measures the
corporation seeks to destroy.
Whether true or not, It Is the ha
bitual assertion that the bar, because
of masterful mentality and legal eru
dition. Is dominant In swaying the
courts and securing decisions. It Is
the contention of high and conserva
tive authorities that this is a chief
Influence In swinging the courts into
a Hue of decisions that seem to trend
In the direction of favoring corpora
tions, since it is the corporations that
mostly control the best legal talent.
In any event, the issue between
the people of Oregon and the tele
phone corporation is whether or not
the people shall have their way, or
the corporation have its way. The
people, after the legislature refused
it, voted the franchise tax law into
existence, with the consequence that
n tax of $9,500 was Imposed on the
telephone company. We have yet to
hear any demonstration that the tax
is not just, and equitable. There is
not the slightest reason why a cor
poration should not pay a just pro
portion of taxation, Just as the indi
vidual is required to do. It la the
failure of corporations to bear a just
share of public burdens that makes
the burden fall so heavily on the pri
vate citizen. The fact that in this
case the corporation refuses to leave
the settlement of the issue to the
Oregon courts, but Insists on carry
ing it Into the more tortuous adjudi-i
cation of the federal courts Is evi
dence that it is not willing to be fair
with the oeoole of the state. The
grange should have hearty support
in its plan, for it is enlisted In a
cause of strikine importance to all
.he people of Oregon.
w.heel turns or not. Hut without an
open river the railroads would charge
far more than profitable rates for
even the small bouts.
The opening of the rivers of the
Oregon country is therefore worth
literally millions a year to the coun
try people, besides all It Is worth to
Portland. It is to ihe advantage of
this city; It is even fur more to the
advantage of nil Ihe up-country peo
ple who have produce to neiid out

The Portland newspaper men

LiIjI'bIO.N was made some
weeks ago to the advice of the
Lumberman, a trade publica
tion, to "Build Now," and
again, In a recent issue, that journal
repeats the advice, which, allowing
for the commercial Interest that pe
riodical has In the consumption of
lumber, seems to The Journal to be
good. Nor do we care lf It Is a part
of an alleged plan to force a cam
paign revival (it prosperity.,--' In any
event the depression must pass, and
prosperity return In a greater de
gree than it has yet though In this
part of the country there is Utile
ground for complaint and then It
will cost people much more to build
than It will now.
The Lumberman goes into the
subject quite deeply, as follows:
Present conditions are Ideal for
t fie builder. The lessened cost of mn
terlal. plus the Rroater efficiency of
labor and the economy in the time re
quired to put up a structure operate
greatly to reduce the outlay. Con
tractors are aware of the expense, In
volved In delayed operations When It
becomes peoesHary to lay off crews or
to shift them from one point to another
pending the arrival of material neces
sary to continue the work the loss Is
ften great. There la a Ions In time and
loss in efficiency, and further damage
by reason of the delay In the completion
cf the building.
Each etep in the construction of a
dwelling, store or office h-.illdlng ln
rrea!es the outlay. Contractors usually
are paid In Installments, receiving a
ertain per rent of the price when the
foundation is In, another when the walls
are up, another wnen tne structure is
roofed over and so on. A delay of two
or three weeks after the building Is
roofed over means the absolute loss of
the uae of the money invested for that
length of time or possibly longer. Fur
thermore, a prospective tenant may be
come tired of watting and secure ac
commodations elsewhere. AH these are
problems which the builder who builds
during busy times must consider. They
are problems which those who build
now are not required to solve.
It is not possible to determine the In
fluence of an active building campaign
upon the commerce of the I'nited States.
Were it possible to provide work for
all t lie mechanics an Increase lri general
trade would result. The solvency of the
butcher, the grocer or the banker de
pends upon the ability of bis patrons to
pav their bills; the solvency of the job
bing house depends upon the ability of
hundreds of small retail distributors to
pay their accounts; the solvency of the
manufacturer hinges upon prompt set
tlement with the jobbing trade.
The ability of manufacturers to keep
their mills going depends upon collec
tions and the demand for their products.
No one link In this clieln Is Independent
of the others. No one link can be bene
fited without at the same time benefit
ing all the other links. Final analysis
shows that the Interests of the various
elements of trade are lndlssolubly linked
together. To start building Is to start
at the beginning and upon a firm foun
dation to begin renewed activity. Build
now.

it is tnis or eouallty before the law
And It U this lde.nl which Is violated
absolutely and continuously In the
theory and In the practice of the nro.
te.ctlve tariff.
The protective tariff Is a device for
enhancing the home price of tho arti
cles It covers by a tax on commerco bv
forcing the body of cltixens to pay trib
ute to producers at home. These pro-
Jurers may be capitalists or directors
of Industry, or they mav be the labor
ers who contribute effort only without
i-esponsiDiiity ror the way In which ef
fort mav be annlled. It matters not
whether capitalists or laborers, either
or Dotn, actually profit at vour expense
or mine. The law Intends Hint thev
mum uo so. it la g oreacn or the prln
clplo of equality before Hie law that
either should thus profit. As a matter
or fact mere Is little gain to the labor
er oecause continued Immigration
brings' him ew competitors nnd he-
cause he Is in his turn one of the gen
eral public who suffer from the commerce-tax.
As wages are raised, so Is
tne cost of living.' Kor the- director or
mployer or labor, the case is on the
average not much better. !ecause the
cost of his product Is enhanced by the
tariff taxes on everjrrhlng which enters
hito his process of manufacture. In so
far as a tariff Is successful. It is vir
tually prohibitory. That the evils of
proninttory tariffs are so little felt s
due to the fact that our country Is a
world In Itself, with untaxed trade
throughout a district comprising nearly
half the specialized production area of
the globe. Vet within this faored area
It ts possihie sometimes to corner a
product or to monopolize production.
To this end the tariff naturally lends
itself, though it would be unfair to de
clare it to be the parent of all trusts.
II Is enough to recognize that Its gen
eral purpose Is the same, the develop
ment through legal means of Industrial
and economic monopoly, the enrichment
of a class or of a group of classes at
the expense of the citizens at large.
This Is theoretically contrary to Amer
ican polity. If the principles of our re
public In regard :o exclusive privileges
are right, then the theory and the prac
tice of the protective tariff art wrong
That It works through the method of
Indirect taxation, disguises but does not
tustlfv Its Iniquity.
The tariff la defended on the ground
or the value to a growing nation or in
rant industries of diversified econom
Ics. We may not deny that at times
there has been a flnnnclal gain to the
community through taxing the farmer
to build up the manufacturer. It Is
not politically right or Just to do this
out lf it were, the policy In. practice
assumes the form of a vested right
which becomes in time a vested wrong.
Around these vested rights other condi
tions grow up, and a change of any sort
works havoc with related or associated
Interests. JiiMtlce becomes possible on
ly by the perpetuation of varied forms
of Injustice to toucn tne tarirr in any
wnv sends a shock through the flnnn
rial world, throughout the body politic
Tariff revision is, therefore, a kind of
effort which can be baaed on no prin
ciples. It Is a blind rush anions various
choices of vlls. The only way out Is
to mnkr taxation blind, like other ef
forts at Justice. Its sole function that
of raising revenue.
In another way the theory of the In-
fnnt Industry has proved fallacious.
There are in America today no In
fant Industries. They have grown fast
or than the nation liaa. Our huge fn
dustrlal combinations overshadow the
world. Just as In their alliance they
dominate us. in some degree they have
the whip hand ovor other nations. If
anything American can take care of it
self, it Is our Infant Industries. Yet
thev demand the tariff as a necessity
of existence as insistently as ever they
did. The lull In the self-assertion Just
it present Is dum to the handwriting on
the wall, not to any lessening desire to
be fed at the public expense.
The actual Injury to American pros
perity traceable to the tariff, may not
tie enormously great. It has doubtless
been exaggerated. . It lends Itself to
exaggeration. It makes us angry when
we think of It and wrath means always
a magnifying glass. Its greatest evil
lies In the perversion of our theories
of government, the Introduction of the
ld"a of clasf enrichment through legis
lation. Doubtless much of the prosperity of
the I'nited States Is due to the pro
tective tariff the prosperity of some
of us. Hut In Mice degrees the nnn-pros-peritv
of some of us. soma of the very
sarnie persons for that matter, Is due
t i tne same national meddling wnn in
llvldiial rights. The apparent prosper
ity of anv community could be greatly
enhanced by taking property away from
half the people to put it Into the hands
of the others who know better how to
use it. Thus behind all discussion of
sources and means of prosperity, the
fact reinnlns that Democratic Justice.
that fundamental equity between man
and man, can never- be realized li
America so long as ny trace of the
protective tariff remains on our stat
ute books. It Is another illustration of
the truth that "they enslave their chil

ic lapses, to time-serving legislation, as

It is probably true that Mr. Heney

discredit in California, even among
many people who were In favor of
the prosecutions. There has been so
much delay and expense, and such
small results, that the people are
tired of the proceeding and think it
largely farcical. This may be the
fault of the judicial system rather
than of Heney and his backers, b-ut
people cannot be expected to keep up
a lively interest in such a matter for
ypars at a time.' Heney has done
some good work, but he has blus
tered and bulldozed too much and
sometimes has acted on too slight
evidence.

and see that they do not do dangerous

not want deposits made absolutely safe
In all bnnks because It will give them
less power with their big banks. They
oppose the Democratic 'guarantee.

Fulton's "Personal" Sacrifice.
Portland, Or., Aug. 10 To the Edi
tor of The Journal In the light of re
cent developments an extract from a
speech made bv Senator rulton in one
or tne valley towns just prior to mo
June election would be of interest. In
substance he suoke as follows: "It had
been my Intention to not be a candidate
for reelection, for 1 had found that
a man of my limited financial means
could not afford to make such a sac
rifice and It was only after my good
name and haricter had been assailed
that I consented to seek reelection. In
fact I was compelled to do so In order
to vindicate my good name.
After the decisive vote that was cast
In June It seems strange that Senator
Fulton would now be eager to make
another "sacrifice'' to the people of Ore
gon by serving them another term in
the I'nited States senate or would a
"personal" victory Involving the defeat
of t'ne "people's will" furnish It I in the
"desired vindication"? Again, was the
"campaign statement" but a bit of blar
ney from a "servant" of the people who
now seeks to be their "master"?

With wheat at lid cents a bushel,
"Hard Times" cannot even peek over
the rim of I'matllla county. His crop
may be ten or fifteen bushels short of
the' usual average, but the farmer is not
compjalnlng. He will have a Jingle in
his pockets nnd a corpulent account at
the bank. Truly, he Is the "salt of the
earth and the fatness thereof. Once
it was the fashion to sympathize with
him as he arose at 4 o'clock In the
norning to pall his cow and do the
chores, his faded blue denim overalls
kept In doubtful Juxtaposition with his
galluses bv a few shingle nails. Now
he is tbe object of admiration and re
spect not to say envy. In I'matllla
ounlv there are scores of farmers In
dividually able to buy out any of its
merchants and have a comfortable sur
plus left for emergencies. Lawyers.
doctors, bankers and tradesmen must
ooff 'heir hats to the horny-handed
sons of the soil who may sport auto
mobiles 1 they choose, and take their
leisure as becomes men who hnve "arrived."
To say that a woman should investi
gate his past and prove his statements
before she marries a man may be very
true, but so long as women are women
it will not be done. It Is doubtful Ir
one out of twenty women would know
bow to go about It to obtain proof
tljyt a man has a right to woo her or
to ask her to be his wife, ir he ap
pears to be what he says he Is It suf-
rices ror acquaintance, ir ms tastes ana
his avowed outlook upon lire chorda
with her own and she believes In htm.
It is enough lor friendship. And If she
loves him It is sufficient on her part
for marriage. 1 o claim that she should
obtain testimony to his statements Is to
miss the very heart and core of a
woman's character. Those who say so
do not know. They have not read
womanhood.
There Is only pity for these two
women whom the Jugglers with matri
monial law on the part of T. M. Htevena
have brought to light, i ney noth oe
lleved In him ns women have believed
since the beginning of time and as
women will Continue to do down through
the ages to. come. That he deliberately
tricked them seems evident, and that be
cause he a man it will be condoned.
is doubtless also true. Home day w
shall perhaps see things differently.

From the Grants Pass Outlook (Rep. 1
Possibly the senator regsnis a poht-

anv other form of pledge. Possibly he
feels that in view of the towering ca
lamity that threatens In the election of

the Statement No. 1 members of the
eglsltture would be justified In a de-
fectb n of this sort. In any case we are
afraid the mere suggestion of the prop

tne undoing of Senator Fulton as n
