- W?l&tVIJ'i-1f'VFrrr ' DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, 8ALEM, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1904. TWO naaBOBannuanaamBBnamiKnBWMHa ,i1" DAM CAPITAL JOURNAL BY HOFER BR08. F1 THE "RAILROAD ERA," Half a dozen paper projects have oprung up anil headed for this city slnco tho new census! was promul gated by the city council and tho Commercial Club. The peoplo of Salem are to bo con gratulated on becoming tho center of interest for so many projects, oven though they be on paper, and have hot air for motive power. All these corporation plans may ma terialize In something after while, but tho peoplo of Salem should not be de ceived for a moment by all these schemes that are popping up so sud denly, i Thoy realize that tho Salem light .nnd power plant, that has valuable franchises, Is growing more valuable, nnd ha? Just been transferred to new owners for a sum named at $300,000, and wo doubt Jt not. It has also been reported that Mr. Henry made ?60,000 by tho transfor of ithe property to a now company at Portland. This proves that, In skill "i'ul hands, thoso franchises aro very waluable trading stock. Tho latest paper enterprise on foot Is a double-track electric lino to Ore son City. That Is to have fifty-minute trains to Portland. That will want a franchise from this city, and so will othors. No sooner would that franchise bo granted1 than tho present street car Dine and electric plant would probably again bo transferred, and some opera tor would mnko another hundred thou sand dollars. The people should seo to It that they got substantial values for theso franchises, and that they pay a tax on their franehlEoa Into tho city treas ury. More operators should also pay -a tax on operations. Thoso may bo considered radical views-by some, but tho peoplo should roallzo and mako a distinction be vtwoen real bona fide Investments of capital nnd mero hot-air paper opera tions. The exploiters of franchises will not respect t, community that Is oa3y In thoso mattore, Tho railroad era Is moro apt to be a period of looting tho substantial resources of tho commu nity. Salem should, wolcomo men who wmo with capital to Invest In Im provements, and give them every en couragement, but of tho moro promot ing oxplolter, with watered stock to Bell, and earnings then to bo screwed out of tho peoplo to pay for It all, Is a tllfforent proposition.

Whllo tho public won a substantial victory at tho school election Monday thoy will get very little fruit of that victory, unless thoy book up their votes with action. Tho now school board will ho com posed of Messrs Condit, Crolsnu and Ieo, Republicans, and Messrs Ilyrd and Fletcher, Demoorats. Aftor the voto of tho peoplo thoro ought to bo no division among thoao gontlomon on the question of higher gindes. Hut In Albany, whore tho people voted to have a high school, the school board has dofoato.l tholr action by not piovldlng room for tho higher grades, nnd so Albany lacks two years of hav ing the full public school courso. So If tho peoplo want to reap the full fi nits of their victory for hlghor grados they must tnko an lutorost In tho mattor, nnd follow It up by de manding that their expressed will bo rospectol by tho directors. Tho old board voted to throw out all above tho ninth grade, abolish tho East Salem principal, and went on teeord ns opposed to progress. Thoy took no stops looking to a now build ing on Contor street. If tho peoplo get any of theso things they must pull for them, as tho school board Is still imbued with a conservative spirit, and that means that Sulem do nothing, or do as little as possible. Thoro la not a good reason why a now building for tho chlldron of tho Contral district shall not bo erected at onco, this fall, and the unsightly, unsanitary rolics on Center street dis posed of. Tli ore Is an abundance of surplus money to do that with tho taxos al ready levied, and tho fallacy of having school nionoy lying Idlo ns deposits In some bank Is a llttlo shelf-worn, to say tho least. Wo havo only this to soy In conclu sion, that tho peoplo who stand back of tho movement for bettor public schools will appreciate tho right spirit manifested by any of thoso gontlomon of tho board of education, and thoy aro Hiilllclontly American and intelli gent to condemn tho wrong attitude, or any displays of opposition or Indifference X-RADIUMS China Closets Recent aivals in China Closets puts as in a, position to supply yoa eithe in Gold en Oak ot WeatlWect Oak.

NO DEBT FOR SALEM. Tho Eugene Uoglstor has this: "This sort of a plea for higher edu cation ought to win out. Tho Journal Is right. Kugono is loading tho rost of tho stuto on educational mattors, niul tho growth of a city Is always nugmontod by tho quality and extent of Its educational facilities. "Tho result of Monday's school election should lmvo boon and no doubt was, for advanced grades nnd a hlghor school. Any other stop by n city of Suloin's pretentions is llttlo short of disastrous to hor futuro wel fare." Tho difference Is, thnt Eugene Is sued $25 000 bonds for a high school building, and tho pooplo of Salem. will got one without Increasing taxes or going in dobt.

Tho peoplo of Salem havo had enough motor lines and railroads op erated by hot air. Salem Is now a good baseball town and a high school town. Now mako It a good streets town. Woll, It Is supposed that tho school board, too, has heard from tho poo plo of this school district. It was refreshing to seo heavy tax payers lino up Monday and sny with their voices and votes that they were ready to bo taxed moro If necessary for bettor schools. It romalns to bo soon whothor a majority of tho now Salem school board stands with tho peoplo who havo chlldron to send to school, or with tho capitalists, who have nono.
