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.
