RATES OF SUBSCRP’TION. Editorial Snap Shots. Give President Taft a square deal. Because political dicta tor cannot control him they are endeavoring to defeat him. It looks as though the Repub lican party is badly split up in to three camps. Blit see them get together and light under one banner after the standard bearer is nominated at the na tional convention. The T. B. Potter Realty Co. will pay $5,800in taxes this year, and yet we have some persons in the county who are opposed to giving Bayocean a way out and a wagon road, to say noth ing of the other taxable pro perty on the south side of the bay. Have we reached that stage of our political history when it is necessary to have a political dictator a* president with a "big stick" held over a free and independent people ? It looks so by tin- way Roosevelt’s auto crats, or ns Aunt Torrey puts it, Roosevelt’s bullycrnts, are act ing. There appears to be some dif ficulty in getting together in re gard to holding a county fttir this sutntner. If a few live, energetic individuals would put their heads together und would take hold of the management it would soon bean accomplished tact that a creditable fair would be held. This is another case where it requires leaders, for it is lenders who make the wheels of progress move. It looks as though some of the politicians have lost their horse sense over the recall, amongst whom is Roosevelt, who is in favor of recalling judicial deci sions and submit them to a vote of the people, who know noth ing iilrout the case. The politi cians in their endeavor to do away with representative gov ernment are making a terrible muss of it, for there is no sta bility to any state constitution when nny fanatic can get in and amend a constitution at every general election. There is always more or less complaint along about tax pay ing time. But it is not those who are paying the bulk of the taxes who are complaining. It may not be out of place to pub lish some of the amounts paid by large taxpayers : Hammond Lumber Co., $29,000; Whitney Co., $23,000; Blodget Co., $12,- 000; Wilson Liver Lumber Co., $10,000, and quite a few taxpay ers Ijetween $10,000 and $5,000. The timber owners pay 75 to 80 per cent of the taxes and have been doing so for many years, and they have never asked for roads and other improvements to enhance the value of their property, whereas the large amount of taxes they have paid have gone to enhance the value of the dairy farms. Now that the timber owners desire har bor improvements so that they can manufacture and receive some benefit from the taxes they have paid, it is surprising to see those who have enjoyed the benefits in public improvements are not willing to show 11 mag- nanimous spirit towards those who have paid the bulk of the taxes. The perplexing question that is being frequently asked and which concerns the entire coun ty is "How are we going to find accommodation for the thou sands of visitors who will visit Tillamook County this sum mer?" With the cheap Satur day to Monday excursions from Portland to Tillamook City and return for $3, and season tickets placed at $1, the railroad offi cials figure that they will bring 50,000 persons into this county the coming summer A large proportion of that number will make a point of visiting this city over night or for a few days. We will make a suggestion that those who have spare rooms in their homes fit them up to pro vide sleeping accommodations for the visitors. A committee from the Commercial Club should be appointed to attend t<>4his before it is too late in the season, and, besides, it will pay those who provide this accom modation, for a good bedroom will easily rent from $1 to $1.50 a night the coming season. It would be as well to let the sec retary of the Commercial Club know who will provide bed rooms in their homes so that they can tie listed. reports of nestucca factories . the President did not propose that men like Pinchot and Gar Following are reports of Cloverdale, Oretown and Neskowin Cheese field should become the politi cal dictators of the head of the Factories for 1911.--------- ----------------------- --------------- - ----- government.
