THE BLUE SKY BILL
That the Blue Sky bill is a
good thing to tie to is argued by
Secretary of State, Ben Oleott,
who says:
"This bill will stop the sale of
worthless stock and save the
people of Oregon at least one
million dollars per year. It will
pay all the expense of maintain
ing the Corporation Department
and leave several thousand dol
lars per year clear profit.
'It will add about fJO.OOO
per year to the present reve
nues from corporations, prac
tically all of which will be paid
by the class of promoters whose
past misdeeds have made a law
of this kind necessary."
Where's The Dead Line?
The discharge of a minor
employee of the city of what
Grover Cleveland called "perni
cious activity" was eminently
proper. The city does not pay
its minor employees to engage
in politics and to spend the time
for which the city pays them in
electioneering for this candidate
or cause. Off with the head of
any minor employee who per
mits his partnership to become
offensive in any tuch manner.
The city wants service and not
the advancement of anybody's
political honors during busi
ness hours.
But it would be extremely in
teresting if any industrious ex
plorer could only discover that
elusive dead line which divides
"minor" from "major" em
ployees. Somewhere there is an
invisible division fence which
separates the two. On one side
of that fence are the humble
employees who get "fired" if
they take the people's time for
the performance of political
duties. On the other are those
employees of city, State and
Nation who are so high above
the fine distinctions that obtain
lower down in the scale that they
may commit with entire im
punity offenses that are severely
punished in the case of the
"minors."
Mayors, governors and presi
dents, congressmen and senators,
cabinet officers and a horde of
lesser lights, but still luminaries
who shine above the little twin
klers who work for day wages
or small salaries, take really
"dignified sums" of the people's
money for service rendered, but
they dont even get "docked," to
say nothing of "recalled" and
ousted, when they go on about
their private affairs or engage in
protracted political campaigns.
By all means compel the mi
nor employee to stick to the
"steep and thorny way," even
though the majors "the prim
rose path of dalliance tread."
But if only that subtle line could
be found which tells where a
minor ends and a major begins;
where it is right for one and
wrong for another to do the same
thing. That would be worth
more than the discovery of the
two polos or almost anything
else that has been missing a long
time. Kansas City Journal.
Fair Deal Wanted; Not Charity.
Right minded people are not
clamoring to have Rockefeller
endow colleges, to have Carne
gie build libraries or to have
George V. Perkins benevolently
solve the labor problem and
conduct our political affairs for
us at his own expense.
If those distinguished gentle
men would just kindly obey the
laws of the land and stop striv
ing to hold unjust privileges
acquired through improper
domination of our government
and its high officials all would
be well. What the people want
is a square deal, not charity.
Rockefeller has no business
establishing colleges. It is the
function of the state to conduct
educational work. If Rocke
feller has too much money let
him order all his concerns to
obey the law, then they wont
make so much. Ict him pay
the f2i),(00,000 fine imposed by
Judge Landis which was a just
fine and should not have been
set aside. .
If Carnegie has too much
money he should give up that
i $160,000,000 of char profit he
made when the steel trust was
formed. He did not earn that
money and if he would give it
up the steel trust could reduce
its fictitious capitalization to
that amount and sell its products
at more proper prices.
If George W. Perkins has so
much surplus coin he can afford
to finance the bull moose party
he should go before a United
States judge and plead guilty to
violating the anti-trust law and
give up his part of the profit out
of the gobbling in of the Ten
nesee'Coal & Iron Company to
which deal he induced Roose
velt to give his consent one
morning before breakfast. He
should also urge congress to
abolish the tariff on steel and
thus reduce the earnings of the
trust some $40,000,000 a year.
There are lots of ways where
by our supposedly benevolent
but vulgar rich can get rid of
their coin without insulting peo
ple by giving it to them as beg
gars. Dr. Henry W. Coe may
think well of Perkins, the angel,
because he has lots of money for
the bull moosers. But most
manly men and womanly women
will take a different view of the
matter. East Oregoniau.
One of Monmouth's property
owners somewhat objects to im
proving the city with cement
sidewalks, denying its right to
do so on the .ground that it is
not old enough for such im
provements. As the city is well
on to or past the half century
mark, we should be pleased to
learn what age a city must attain
before being privileged to doff
its swaddling garments.
Two parties who live around
this stretch of territory, but in
different places, have the faculty
of appearing in such close prox
imity as to time and place, that
many persons are wondering
whether it is "soul affinity" or
broken homes that is outlined
by this phenominal appearance.
If you think you are not noticed,
"Thats" where you make your
mistake."
Votes for Women
Scored a Sharp Point on the
Preacher.
Portland suffragists have scored
a telling point over Dr. Clarence
True Wilson, the local minister
who has lined himself up with
the anti-suffragists, and who
freely declares from the public
platform that woman suffrage,
instead of working the reforms
that are expected of it, would
only make new difficulties for the
temperance and reform workers
who have been advocating "Votes
for Women"; in support of this
remarkable contention Dr. Wil
son points to California and
Washington, whose newly en
franchised women, he says, are
responsible for new encroach
ments of the liquor evil, and
along with this singular assertion
Dr. Wilson has been making the
statement that Dr. J. Whitcomb
Brougher, formerly pastor of the
White Temple church of Port
land, but now of Los Angeles,
has deserted the ranks of the
suffragists, declaring himself
ashamed of ever having espoused
the cause; Dr. Brougher, he de
clared, has spoken bitterly from
his Los Angeles pulpit, upbraid
ing the women of his congrega
tion for not voting down certain
"wet" measures, saying he was
ashamed of them, and that if he
had it to do over again he cer
tainly would not advocate a
cause which had proven so dis
appointing. Portland suffragists, disbeliev
ing this statement that the form
er ardent advocate of equal
suffrage had changed front,
wrote to Dr. Brougher at Los
Angeles, and the Woman's Club
Campaign Committee promptly
received this emphatic reply:
"I have never changed my at
titude towards woman suffrage.
I believe in it more heartily to
day than ever before. If it had
not been for the women, Los
Angeles would have been in the
hands of the I. W. W.'s today.
They saved our city in the last
election, when its honor and its
prosperity were imperiled. If I
had my way about it, every wo
man in every state of the United
States would have the privilege
of voting.
"My friend Wilson must have
gotten hold of a little reprimand
I gave the women for not voting
more universally for temperance,
possibly exaggerated by anti
woman suffrage reporters in this
section, and no doubt uninten
tionally, he may be using it to
the advantage of his position."
The first and only "Bull
Moose" registered on the new
election registry lists, qualified
before E. O. Hall the other day.
When it came to politics he said
he wanted to be put down as a
"Bull Moose." Mr. Hall sug
gested he state "Proggressive
Party," but hesaie "Bull Moose"
was good enough for him. The
voter is a prominent Front
street business man. Marshfield
