May 15, 1909, the Oregonian sail: Mr. Albee la a man of very peculiar mental make-up. He claims .to ba a Republican and a apeclal champion of the direct primary. Tet ha habitually repudiates both the Republican party and tha direct primary, Four yeara ago he waa a Republican candidate ln the primary for the mayoralty. Judge Williams received tho nomination. But .Mr. Albee promptly bolted, and sup ported Dr. Lana. Two years later, since the result of the republican primary didn't meet hla wiahea, he supported Lana again, who ran aa an independent, regardleaa of the pri mary. Now. disregarding the result of tho primary, which gave Simon more votes than all others Republicans and Democrats combined he cornea out as a candidate for mayor, on his own ao--count.

June 1, 1909, the Oregonian said: ' Neither Mr. Albea nor Mr. Kellaher i , atands for a definite purpose or policy. I They represent only frayed-out frag f ments or rag-ends of Republican party faction, contending for nothing but r some kind of position or advantage ln future party movements. The heada of Kellaher and Albea were turned by the votes they got last year. - Tho great body of Republicans are giving their aupport to Simon. Albee ana iteuaner, theaefore, . will, "find t where they live" next Monday. t . Mr. Simon was the open town candidate. The Oregonian aupport - ed him vociferously. It opposed Mr. . Albee violently. It would oppose Mr.' Albee now If Mr. Simon were a. 4 candidate on an open town platform. That Is what makes Its present piety most ludicrous. Mr. Simon'a administration was a notable one for Jungletown. Never did the roughnecks have such liber ties. - Never were the men who live off scarlet women more numerous. Never was the tenderloin so undis turbed. But tne oregonian approved Simon and ' applauded Simon. It sneezed every time Simon took snuff. It pirouetted every . time Simon said "thumbs up." It was Simon's organ. It laughed when Simon laughed, and sobbed when Simon sobbed. ' It winked at goings-on in Jungletown because Simon winked at goings-en in Jun- gletown. , . It praised' Simon, open town and all, throughout his administration, and . at the end demanded his re election. After the primaries, it bolted ; the Republican nomination and brought out Mr. Simon as an independent candidate, against the regular Republican nominee, it did everything In Its power to re-elect the open town-candidate, and that, only two yeara ago. Mr. Albee did not deserve what tha Oregonian said about him four ytara ago. Nor does Mr. Rushlight deserve - what the - Oregonian sayB 'bout him and his supporters now. t What It. cays in campiagns is worth less. . It ia only for Mr. Albee now be cause Mr. Simon isn't running. It is only pious now, because Mr. Simon isn t a candidate, It arrays Itself in its purity vest ment wnen Mr. Simon is not afield. privately and con fldentlally. They ara afraid of some body.

V Ut ,rilb BANKS TO PAY INTEREST SECRETARY" M'ADOO of the treasury Qepartment has dis covered that Uncle Sam's idle money can work for the peo .: Pl, aa well aa for the banksw When the secretary recently . announced that tha government would place a51Q.00u.O0a -aa dapoalt wUa - tho banks if tha banks would pay two jer cent interest, the prediction was It la alarming - that this should be tha case. Why should any man In free America be afraid of any other man? The timidity of America's busi ness men amazes the nresident. "Think of it." he says, "a nation full of genius, and yet paralyzed by timidity!" He describes Big Bus! ness as tied to the apron strings of government, going about seeking favore, with the strongest getting the biggest favors. But the president sees hope In that the general revival of con science has not been confined to men fighting special privilege. The awakening of conscience ha. at tended to those who were enjoying spe cial privileges, and ! thank God that me Dusiness men or thla country are beginning to see our economic organ isation ln its true light, aa deaden- lng aristocracy of privilege from which tney tnemseivea must escape. America is declared to be as rich as the people who make her finan cial centers rich, And if those people hesitate In thMr enterprise, cower ln the face of power, hesitate to originate designs of their own, then the very fountains which make these placea abound In wealth ara dried up at their aource. Monopoly ln America is carrying a body of water such as men ought not to be asked to carry. When by regulated competition that Is to say, fair competition, competi tion that fights fair they are put upon their mettle, they will have to economise, and they cannot economize unless they get rid of that water. I do not know how to squeeze the water out, but they will get rid of It If yot put them to the necessity. There is inspiration in the presi dent's brief mention of his fight ln New Jersey. He proposes to dupli cate that fight in the nation. I have lived ln a state that waa owned Dy a series of corporations. They handed It about" It was at ono time owned by the Pennsylvania rail road: then It was owned by the public service corporation. It waa owned by me jiuuuc service corporation, when I was admitted, and. that corporation has been very resentful ever alnce that I lnierrerea witn us tenantry. But I really did not aee any reason why the people should give no their own residence to ao small a bodv f men o monopolize, ana, tnererore, when I asked them for their title deeda and they couldn't produce them, and there was no court except th, court of pub lie opinion to resort to, they moved out Then they ate out of our hands and they did not lose flesh either. They are making just aa: much money as they made before, only they are mak ing it tn a more respettable way. Thev ara making It without tha conetant as sistant of th leeialatura h. ..... v-ifv " aiaie The president proposes a program of general advantage as his program of new fregdron nOayOTmolrf every monopoly that has resisted dissolution ha resisted the real jn- bonda as collateral, and putting the one per cent at compound Interest, thus accumulating a sinking fund, which in forty-seven years would be sufficient to nay off the arovnrn. ment Bonds. At the end of a fifty year period the state's bonds would be returned canceled. The plan also contemplates that one half of the state's annual in terest payment be returned to the state for road maintenance under government supervision, thus reaulr- mg tno state to pay only one per cent into the sinking fund and an other one per cent toward inter est charges on the government bonds, the federal government nay- ing the other two per cent Interest. Under Mr. Bourne's plan of dis tribution among the states, Oregon's allotment would be $16,600,000, but Oregon and twenty other states would be required to amend their constitutions to take advantage of the proposed law. Twenty-seven states have constitutions anthorizlng bonds for public works. mere is much merit in Mr. Bourne's proposal for financing good roaas. 'mere la rlrtue In his sug gestion for more intelligent methods in building and maintaining . them. Illinois, that has expended sixty million dollars on roads the past fourteen years, now learn that thir ty-seven and one half per cent of the money waa wasted. THE TAX ARGUMENT A FRAUD is being perpetrated upon the people of Portland. Tfiey are being told that -the size of tax levies are always ln inverse ratio to the efficiency of city government. They, are being told that business administration of city affairs necessarily means cheese paring policies, that voters-ahould Judge alone by figures on their tax receipts. No greater fraud was eyer at tempted upon an intelligent people. If the tax argument is offered in all seriousness, it is evidence of ignor ance; if it is offered deliberately as a fraud, it presupposes 1 ignoraot voters. ' Business administration of gov ernment is entirely dissimilar to business administration of industry. The high function of government. tftlty, Btate or nation,, is to add to the sum total of human happiness. Business v administration of lndas Ify and commerceTisT In practice, capitalization of human happiness for the benefit of the" few., That is deira is hardly worth the taste, and a glass of beer once in twelve years is a long time between drinks.
