TAFT AND MRS.V - CLEVELAND DINED Development of Waterfront Is Retarded by Policy off Try Ing to Steal Part of River, It Is Said. ? ' J. B. Zelzlrr. land, and- its economic development - evolving tho present problem and con- , tentlon between privaU and public 1 ' rights,- did understand; Shakespear's ' 8hyloclf.and?ii bond. ' In that drama Shakespeare's! profound genius haa 'in view t&s, civilisation ' old question of statute ana natural law.,: What is their relative importance? Y ' ' Nd one ha expressed it in, a better formula than, that neglected hero o! Portland's foufcdlng. Ball J. Kelly, when ,hs said, 'The purpose of government is to enforce ampng men the laws of nat ure." ,.:. . . .. :' I . Of course, the metaphysical qulbbler, will at once sny; "the laws of nature en force themselves." But to humankind, salutary, laws will always result in an immense Bavlng of human effort and suffering, and are indeed in themselves, a wncn ii accord; with , natural laws, a t constituent part thereof. , Water, as a, mobile element, can only satisfy the demands of man upon it, by , Its complete publicize tion. This natural . law has been Universally accepted. Wature Gets Jtevengt. In Portland, we find a school of pseudo-publlclnts claiming otherwise, and trying to steal from the state a part of the Willamette river, a, public property, title vested in the state as trustee, by virtue of its sovereignty, The pseudo-pu blicists will deny this by stating that they only claim the bed of the river, turne will tell you down to harbor line,,, others all of it, under statutory cranta. But as the bed Is a necessary physical appurtenance to the river, at flood times all of it. It neces sarily follows ithat the river, can .not be held as a public property in its en tire usefulness "without all Its bed. By the law of nature, it will revenve itself tbpom any attempt to curtail its bed, by ? disastrous reprisals, . : Those, who b si Sinister statutes claim a part of the bod of the river, will find that such' statute, even though it should fool a complalsknt legislature, will not hold against th s rlter Itself, which will ' take what it n eeds, just what the law contemplates tdut the public shall take . within, the limi Is of the natural bed of the river at ord tnary full tide. .this policy, the title is in the state, the etae having pp (cer-to make grants sub ject to the publ to right. Attempt t o Restrict Bights. Attempts tiavi) been made to restrict these rights by strict construction of defining terms, but the attempts are futile, Slnccj in -common and constitu tional law. the troad moaning is firmly cstabllshedf !; The Venetian courts forgot. ' when they permitted i lhylock the terms of his bond, that a loaniif money is made upon such property security as the borrower can furnish. It fci a commercial, not a moral venture, aid when Antonio's se curities failed, bj- natural law he was a free, man. But Shylock claimed the terms of his pon d, under a statute law; The great lawyer, Portia, whose vis ion of the always paramount natural inwiytng-at the -bottom as a-foundation o f all law, wa s W4pbscTnd"by tH" cW webs of statute law, began to enounce to Shylock the danger of depending on these statute law r, Separated from their natural context,' J i. Would Confiscate Goods. "Shylock," saldj she,: "will ..you heed nothing but the fwrttten line In your bond and in thia ! statute? Then know that by the selfsame Inexorable and lit eral narrow construction, the moment you draw one Aropi of blood beyond your stipulated pound of flesh, under the. Ve netian law, your life and all your goods are confiscate to tb e state of Venice." The great light then fell upon Shy locks eyes, that e.n so great an ele ment as the combined power of air the Shylocks can not, pass one little law that may stand alone against. the body of the law, and that with the mortgaged pound of flesh mi tit be considered the one free drop of bipod.. ,...- ...... ... ... t Just so, Portland Shylocks have en- ipnamea a greai irwe waterway, me o inmbla, the naturaH commercial artery of the state of Oregon, by artificial economic and statutory evasions, they ! have gathered thei r 100 per cent, 60 per cent, to per cent sinnual .toll, and then delivered it over, throttled and bound, to transcontinental;, railroads, and con- nlved for personal advantages to deliver their trade to the rrtllroad ports at Piget pound and San Fra aeteco. ' ', Holding rata of Portland. Whtlo holding the fate of Portland In the hollow of thel r hand, they are ad venturing the .extension of their pri vate fortifhes in rivail cities, by build ing up properties tnd trade there at Portland's expense.! That Is why they are willing to cho te up the- harbor or Portland with deca 'nage and inefficient docks, and tinimpro wed claims. " Portland is loaded down with capital seeking O tT 100 pr cent Investments, and is being throttAed by the holdings ' of such capital, whebt what she needs is a chance to Invite in. four to six per cent ,, capital capital of niodest demands, and , men of modest mearjj to use it, and fur, Irish the raw produce 'for it to handle. 'jt' The halcyon days j of, mining and ad- rlculture and modest industry and com merce is here. Hantimrg made good on -almost limitless focgr per cent invest- ' mants and Portland . must free itself rfrom the hands of ti.e 60 per cent cap ltallsts. , i' ' V 11 :' .. 7t i 4,c ' t " ' f 7 mnBU&SZM Mra; John Hays Hammond. ' (By toe Internttloual News SrrTlce.) Waahington, Jan 21. Mrs. John Mays Hammond was hostess at a very pleasant dinner party aty her home here. The guests of honor were Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow of the ex- President, and her fiance, Professor Preston, and Mrs. Taft, wife of the president . HEED FOR fME Proposed Bill Would Give Re :lief to Benton, Lane : and Lincoln. v , Great Interest is evinced in the srO' posed bill to get more judges and pros cutors for the Second Judicial district, according to J. F. Stewart, an attorney of Toledo, who says that the paramount need U more county attorneys and, if more judges are not provided, a multl plication of the present number of terms of Tourt, Mr. Stewart, who is In Portland on ousiness, will proceed to Salem to in terview Senator Hollta, of Forest Grove, and Representative T. M. Brink, of Folk county, in connection with a new bill. which it is said has been framed to re place one vetoed at the last session by Governor West, the' objectionable feat ures of the old bill being eliminated. The Second Judicial district is com posed of Cooa and Curry, Douglas and Lane, Benton and Lincoln counties, There are a judge and prosecuting at torney for Coos and Curry, one each, for Douglas, 'while the remainder of the districts, composed of Lane, Benton and Lincoln i counties, has but one ludee and one prosecutor to serve for all. . "The greatest need," said Mr. Stewart, "Is for a countv ttrrnv fnr noh county and a great relief would be four terms or court a year instead of two as at the present time. At the present time. Judge Harris. of Eugene, and B. It, Bryson,: of the same place, serve Lane, Benton and Lin. coin counties in the capacity of jud&o and prosecutor,, which makes too heavy a district, so t;hat we. would Ilka to see Benton and Lincoln consolidated into another district with appropriations for the proper Judicial officers. With the growth of Eugene and its probable fu ture growth is seems to us of the other counties that the increasing work is be coming too heavy for the large amount of territory." , Mr. Stewart said' the Lana countv business is heavy enough for one Judge and the courts are now bo remote that the people are often handicapped in lit igations as the trip to Eugene and back is too expensive. If there is a case to come before the Judge in Chambers it is.

A. E. Clark In 1 his minority report recommended both, a judge and county attoreuy for this district. .
