REEHER TELLS WHY. Why Should One Man Be Given Monopoly en the Whole Stage Business, He Wante te Knew. Wilson, Ore., March 30, 1906. To the Editor of The Independent In reply to Mr. Buchanan, I would say that as I live on the Wilson river road, I should know some thine about the travel over it and am sure that a large proportion oi the travel is from Washington and Tillamook; counties. The true iu wardnessof the whole matter is this When McNamer owns the toll road and stage line he can keep all other stages off the road thus having a monopoly of the stage business Already at the prospect of a free road, three other stages are thinking of starting. Why should the coun ties allow one man to monopolize the whole stage business: There is ample property along the road to more than keep it in shape, but the tax has not been used on it, so the business men ol Forest Grove and the setters have kept it up. I mean the Washing ton county ends, of course. It has been kept open this fall and winter by the settlers with no help from McNamer. If Washington county s not able to keep this piece of road open, two men live in Tillamook county who will keep it up il it is Iett a tree road. The laws of Oregon require egal toll road to have grades sixteen feet wide and must be clear of logs and brush lor fifty feet in width As some of the grades 011 this piece of road are only six feet wide, or a trifle over, the county or lessee would have a great deal of ex pen sive work to do before toll could le gally be collected. I appeared before the countv court of Washington county pro testing against the proposed leas ing of the road and they gave me their word that the road would not be leased unless Tillamook county eased the other end. So after send ing in a petition signed by more than one hundred and sixty of the leading taxpayers of Forest Grove and Gales Creek I supposed it was not necessary to appear again. I live in Tillamook county and am interested, as most of the people there are, in having a free road, but I also own a home and pay taxes in Washington county and think that when Forest Grove and Hillsboro people wish to go lo the coast they should be able to do so without paying toll. The case of the Wil son river road is now in the supreme court of the state and no lease of it can be given until it is decided. Yours, etc! J. F. Reeher. 'Ovet the Hills to the" Etc. Amos Clevenger, the 84-year-old man from Sherwood, Or., who was taken into custody at the union depot Friday evening by Patrolman Joe Burke, was brought before Judge Camerson on a charge of begging. He said he left his daughter's home at Sherwood be cause her husband did not treat him right, and he purposed going to El Paso, Texas. When asked how he would get there, he said he would ride or walk. Judge Camer son advised him to return to Sher wood, but the old man left the courtroom vowing he would walk to EI Paso. Saturday Oregonian. Amos Clevenger, an aged Grand Army veteran, who arrived in this city from Tualatin homeless and penniless, was placed aboard a train yesterday afternoon and sent back to the farm of his son-in-law, C. B. Cimino. The expense was defrayed by the Masonic board of relief. Secretary Whalley of the board has written his relatives at Tualatin and at Sacramento, California, and if they refuse to make proper provis ion for the veteran will appeal to the Washington county authorities to take some action.

Big fellows and strictly freah. Call and try them. From a Colorado Man. Prof. Harry E. Kelley, formerly of the Iowa State University, now engaged in the practice of law in Denver has recently addressed a long letter to State Senator A II. Gale of Iowa, giving his obser vations and opinions on equal suf frage. When he went to Colorado seven years ago he said he bad verv little respect for woman suf frage but since seeing its practical workings his opinions have under gone a complete change. Prof. Kelley says in part: "The great value in woman suffrage consists in this, that it gives dynamic force to a Iresh and vital interest in tne state. Women are not much con cerned with mere partisan politics; and experience in the states where woman suffrage is in force clearly shows that their interest cannot be aroused by mere partisan strife. Their interests center around questions affecting education, pub lic cleanliness, public morality, civ ic beauty, charities and correction, public health, public libraries and such subjects as more intimately affect home liie, and conduce to the prosperity of the family. Men lose sight of these important considera tions iu the mad scramble of parti san warfare for offices, but women will not see them obscured by any thing. Therefore when you permit women to vote, you bring into the service of the state a great part of the population with a primary in terest in these vital subjects which among men have always been ob scured by other considerations and sacrificed iu the turmoil ot partisan strife. We get a more earnest at tention to these great civilizing in fluence by permitting women to vote. I . think Colorado has exempli fied the truth of this. They are not primarily iuterested in filling the offices with particular individu j als, or with particular partisans, as men are, and they are not office seekers themselves; but they have shown here an increasing interest, and a powerful influence in promot ing the various kinds of social measures. Indeed, it has been chaiged that they show too little interest in the mere filling of offices; but I cannot see the force of such criticism, u they improve the state by their influence elsewhere exert ed. Somebody will say that this sort of improvement may be accom plished by women without the suf frage; but this is not true. The Iowa politician ignores a delegation of women, whom he disregards with impunity; but the Colorado politician endeavors to satisfy their demands, because, if spurned, they can and will use their power, and therefore they must have respect ful treatment. Their power to protect and inforce their interest and demands give them their use fulness to the state. The fact is that woman's vote in sures good nominations, an advo cacy of laudible measures, and a re spectful attitude toward subjects in which women are interested." Ye Candidate A 8tudy. Behold ye candidate. He believeth in the tempting phrases of false friends who say un to him: Get thee into an office. Why stand ye here idle when in polotics ye can be idle and receive many pennies. And it comes to pass that he fal- leth into ye snare. He announceth himself. And ye vultures assemble. Ienceforth there is no peace in his house, nor in his heart, nor any where for him. If he goeth forth he falleth among robbers. Who make merry " at ye candi date's expense. Verily, the way of ye nominee is hard.

Mr. Clarke is one of the oldest printers in the state and one or the best known country editors in Oregon. His nomination will be a tribute to the country press and they are backing him heavily for the place. Remember, the name of Wm. J. Clarke is the first one under the head ol state printer.

One Term. A mistaken idea prevails to some extent as to the emoluments ot the state printer and the practical work ings of the office. It is not the big "fat office it is accused of being In the first place the appropria Hon for "printing conveys 1 wrong impression. The biennia appropriation is not tor printing alone, but includes also the cost of paper, ruling election supplies and many smaller items, amounting lor the biennial period to about $23,000 The last report of the secretary of state to the legislature will show these figures to be correct. Then the state printer must provide his own printing plant and pay all run ning expenses ot the office. The pay rolls alone for the two years exceed $25,000. The Salem Typo graphical Union can bear out the accuracy ol this statement, lhe cost of material, a limited amount of work done in outside Union of fices during a rush in the state printing office, rent, power, inks, and a hundred other expenses adds fully $10,000 more. This makes $58,000 of expenses which the state printer does not get. Thus it will be readily seen that when the cost of production of the printing is taken into consideration, the state printing office is not all profit. It Is just like any other printing business. It costs some thing to ruu it. Criticism has for years beeu di rected at the state printing office and it seems that it still continues. The present state printer has been accused of graft, of dividing the profits of the office with political bosses, and of a further division for the use of the state printing plant. There is absolutely no truth in these statements. 1 pay $100 per month rental for the plant and no more, which ?s considered a reason able rental. I have a lease duly signed to this effect, and there has been no division of the office with any person. The fees of the state printer are fixed by law, and every item print ed is measured by an expert print er, appointed by the governor, whose duty it is to measure the printing and affix the amount due as provided by law. Governor Chamberlain appointed to this posi tion Mr. Albert Tozier, a democrat, a practical printer, and secretary of the Oregon Press Association, whose integrity is unquestioned and who has measured all printing done and approved all bills therefor in strict accordance with law. Every bill for printing is also care fully audited by the secretary of state. Mr. Dunbar is acknow ledged to be one of the best officers the state has ever had, and his aud iting stamp of approval is sufficient guarantee of honest accounting. The state printing office is a tar get of attack without just reason. The heavy cost of printing in past years has been chiefly due to the large number of copies printed. This has been reduced by law, and the price now paid by the state for most ot the public printing is uot above that charged by the printing firms of Portland, and some of it is considerably less. For some classed of work, especially where a large number of copies are required to be printed, the price should be reduced somewhat. I have given this subject careful study, and believe there are two methods by which the cost of print ing could be kept down to a mini mum. One is to limit the volume of printing and revise the schedule of prices upon an up to-date basis, the same as that of commercial Spiriting generally. The other is or the state to own and operate its own printing plant, and to pay the state printer a reasonable flat, fixed salary. Either of these plans, or similar plans along these lines, which the legislature might adopt for the betterment of th. service, would meet my hearty support, My republicanism will be attest ed by the people ot Linn county, where I formerly edited the Daily and Weekly Herald for twenty years. As a native Oregonian and a printer of twenty-five years' exper ience, I have endea voted to conduct the state printing office in a clean, business-like manner, and as a can didate for a second term, am willing to stand upon my record. The books of the office are open for in spection. J. R. Whitney. The Weekly Oregonian and The II ills boro Independent, both one year for f2. 8. B. Huston. The Coos Bay Harbor says that the leading republicans of Coos have selected Huston as the fittest man for Representative to Congress. The Tribune thought so from the start, and it predicted that the longer the time till election, the greater would be his majority. With time for careful thoueht. our people as a general thiug. arrive at similar conclusions. There has so tar been no criticism of Mr. Haw ley as a man of fine character, but his lack of essential training and qualifications are admitted by all thoughtful persons. On the other hand it must be admitted that no one ever ran for Congress in this state with more admirable qualifi cations from the start than Mr. Huston. Advices indicate that the race is between Huston and Hawley, with Huston far ahead and gaining, and with Tooze tar in the rear and los ing. It will not be forgotten that neither Tooze nor Hawley thought our county of sufficient importance to visit, though they visited Coos. But Mr. Huston came to see us. although he was already familiar with our Coast conditions, bavins? often visited his relatives and friends in Coos county. He is thoroughly familiar with all the questions for legislation that affect our coast. He knows all about our needs for light houses, life savine stations, harbors, coast navigation. land matters, fisheries, lumber busi ness, etc. It is doubtful if either of his opponents have ever eiven them a thought until the campaign opened. Let voters consider these things. Port Orford Tribune.
