HERMAN:. FOR CONGRESS
Every ono in Ccos county outfit to
bo gratified at tho prospect Unit Hon.
Blrgor Hctmann will receive the nom
ination for congressman from this dis
trict to succeed tho ktoThoa H. Tongue.
No other selection could please Southern
Orcjron eo well.
. ..1
Mr. Hermann record is too well
known to need any review here. And
in all his long years of public sex vice
no chargo of neglect of duty or of any
tiishOnorablo aKt had ever Leen brought
against b!n.
Witbrut ltflcction en the abilitico of
tho other pcntlemen who ntfpiro to the
place, it may be said that Mr. Her
tuann'j services would be of infinitely
more value in the place than theirs.
This district never had a reprercuta
tivii in the belli of -congress who accom
plished so much, and it will be a piece
of rare gooJ forlnac if his sorvlcai arc
again secured.
THE
OREGONIAN ON
UTILITIES.
TUBLIC
If roitcration is good reasoning, the
Oregonian makes a good case against
i
municipal ownership of public utilities.
In tho course cf a short editorial it at-
inres us that the tenancy is to make
"the rich grow richer and the poor grow
poorer-"tbo rich minority increases
its richefc and tho poor majority in
creases in numbers" "tho rich will
grow richer, the poor will grow poorer"
J "the rich will becomo richer and the
poor will crow in numbers" and final'y
"such burdens surely tend to 'make the
rich richer and the poor poorer ". Yet,
"in these remarks the Oregonian has no
idea of trying to arrest the tendency".
The Oregoitian'a argument ia that
tho tendency of all taxation ie to wipe
cut the middlo claes, dividing the peo
ple into the two classes of the extremely
rich ond extremely poor, for the reason
that tho burden falls heaviest upon the
middle class.
If true, doesn't this indicate the ne?d
of a readjustment of the burden of tax
ation, ratbor sn abandonment of the
ynbli'c utilities?
' The Orcgonian's utterance is directed
especially against the proposal for a new
bridge ana two new ferries at Portland,
If they aro heeded, what is the alterna
tive? Private ownership? Let the
bridge bo buiU.nnd the ferries establish
ed with private' capital and let a few in.
ilividualeroap fortunes from their exploit
ntlon of the public, Isn't it exactly
that Bort of work which has a tendency
to build up private fortunes at the ex-
(HDI TOR I AL)
peneo of the gencal public?
The truth is that "public ownership"
ia a bugbear, not to tboee who honestly
fear tho extinction of tho "middle class,"
but to thoso who fear tho curtailment
of opportunities for tho accumulation
if
of private fortunes in furnishing these
- utilities to the pbblic,
It is somewhat amUsing to tee tho
editorial In cjuMtion immediately fol
lowed by ifrW Pi 'or ne e1'
s
CUtk appropriation of $500,OX) on the
gtound that it will bo of "Immenso
bcncllt to tho etato in tho way of mater-
inl progress ntul development." How
can tho Oregonian too a benolit to tho
statu in Biich a long sttldo toward tho
obliteration of tho middle class in our
glorious commonwealth? Just think
how inuoh richer tho rich will be, nnd
how much poorer ti.o poor, by tho time
thnt added burdon of taxation gets its
work in.
NEW CLUB NEEDED.
While- wo aro waiting for tho orgauita
tion of tho now Chamber of Commerce,
there is another matter nearly if not
quito as important which might ho at
tended to. Tboro ia auother organiza
tion needed as badly as tho Chamber of
Commerce is needed, and that is an
Autl-Knockors Club.
Nearly If not quito cvor.? stranger
who con'.os here gets up against tho
knocker proposition before ho has becu
here twenty-four hourp, ond if ho be not
a Pu of P"r e,ronS crve ho will
be decidedly shaken up, Ho will bo
discoursed and made to beliovo that
there arc no inducements for totllemont
or investment on Cjos Bay.
The M.ur, may bo running counter to
the sentiment of the community in
protesting agnimt that sort of thing,
but if so tho fault is with tho com
munity and not with tho Mail.
Ia fact wo rcfuso to I olievo that the
majority of tho people of Marshfield are
inossbock. Wo believe it is a case of
pprnicious activity on the part of a very
small minority. It exemplifies the old
saying that "Satan finds mischiof still
for idle hands to do." It ia moatly per
sons who have nothing else to do who
mako a business of waylaying tho new
comer, and filling him up with tales of
the abortive boom of years gone by and
lhe lmacjnary ruia resoU,nK
o( th(j foJy oJ (hQ GrMt Cen
therefrom;
folly of the Great Central project
lj lhe Kenera, cuC(ncM 0, MaJor
Kinney, its promotor; cf the iniquity
of the North Bend proposition; of tho
entire hopelessness of any investment
of timo or money on Coos Bay.
A few there are, of course, who have
a method in their madness. Thorn are
reasons why they do not want to see an
influx of new people. They fear snroe
Interference with tho ndvaqtagea they
now enjoy; competition in their own
line of business; a curtailment, in
someway, of their profi'a. Or they
aro embucd with the notion that a rail
road makes hard times, But the great
majority of the kickers aro such simply
from a deficiency in their mental equip
ment. They are knockers because to
knock requires no brains, It is a sim
ple matter of sneering and slurring
everything, human or divine, tijat at
tracts notice; a parrot-like ropetitiod of
the talk of street corner loafers.
But, whatever the caueo, thore it too
much of this sort Of thing in Marsbfleld.
It is the first thing tho stranger comes
in contact with, and it stays with him
throughout his waking hours. Tho
people who think differently, who have
faith in Coos Bay and its future, are
busy about their own affairs, or they
have a delicacy about obtruding them,
selves upon strangers.
Theee conditions make it almost im-
perative that something be done to off-'
set thefoffect of all this sonsele'ss ant!
agitation. It is useless to' appeal to
tho knockers, They are perrennially
wound up, and there is probably no way
of stopping them, Tho only way ia to
drown their drivel in a chorus of an
other kind. Let every one who has the
interest of Coot Bay hoa'ri and wjfhts J
to too this country tak'o tho placo to
which its nnturnl advantages oullllu it,
rcsolvo himself into a commltteo of 'ono
to too that every stranger of the right
kind who duds his way hero is mado to
feci that ho has roachod tho best plaeo
on oarth, that ho is is welcome, and
that tlio very host ho can do .is to join
his fortunes with ours. If n Boosters
B.ulgo could ho placed oii tho coat of
every second mon In tho community, it
would be worth more than tho f 10C0 or
moro wbich it is proposed to rniiu for
tho new chamber, and would tupplu
mcut the work laid out for that organi
sation, in a manner much needed.
And it wouldn't cost a cent.
