ONE TELEPHONE SYSTEM OE
TW07
To grant a second telephone fran
chise or not to grant ose is the Ihuc
before tbo eity council.
Tbo Baslnoos Men's League has taken
the position that the Pacific States
company be given thirty days to com
plct installation of tbelr up-to-date
cystom and give tltis community a
good service.
That Is a reasonable request. It is
that time the service Is not Improved,
tbo business men say grant another
franchise.
The present monopoly says, well and
good; vre will try and convince you
that wo on a. give a good service in
that time.
A great many business men and pro
fessional moti aro of the opinion that a
second systom will bo a useless tax
upon tho community.
Lawyers, doctors, bankers, and most
business men will have to keep up the
oxpenso of four telephones oaeb two
In tbo places of business and two in
their homes.
Two systems will mean moro wlros
ctrung over our city, moro poles erect
od, moro tearing up of tbo streets.
Bnt If wo cannot get a first-class up-to-now
system without competition, wo
supposo wo will have to havo it.
Tbo proposed charter grants the new
company sixteen months to install its
plant, longer thnn the old company
has been installing its new one.
Tho new charter allows the company
four years trev from taxes on its gross
-earnings. That seems a very 'favora
bio franchise.
If they would pay the elty council
about 16000 for the franehlse ami a per
centngo of the gross earnings it would
bo worth while grafting it.
Tboy should also givo an indemnity
bond In oasa of fnlluro to install their
plant nnd fuilure to give roasonablo
good servico.
This plan of giving nwny a franehlie,
froo of taxes for four 'years, only for
tho fun of lmvlug so-oallcd competition
is not wlso.
It Is a telogrnph nnd tolephono fran
cbiso tbat may be sold for thousands of
dollars as soon as granted.
Tho Journal onn say for Mr. Dnncy,
tbo local manager, that In splto of crit
icism, ho hns built up the system and
dono his utmost to give this city a
i;ood servleo.
That it has uot been a better servlee
lias annoyed him ns much as It has any
ono, and ft thousand times as much as
any customer.
There nro two sides to the contro
versy! A Bcooud franchise tuny givo
ua better service and it way net.
The experiment may be worth trying
and it may not. Many towns and oltlss
tbat have had two system's hnvo gone
back to one.
It is an experiment that will eoit
someone a great deal of money that
must be made back out of the com
munity.
After giving the present company a
full nnd fair trial on their new sys
tem, when fully Installed, and It falls
to give satisfaction, as tboy claim it
wlll a second franchise might ba all
right.
If tho street oar company wero not
giving good service it might bo well to
grant another franchise. But if they
woro doing all In their power to Improve
their aervlco it would hardly bo right.

A CALL FROM A NEIGHBOR.
(Albany Herald, Oct. SI.)
Tho Woodmon are members of a good
order.
Certain high principles are their
plutform. Fraternity, helpfnlnM,
sympathy, tho real neighborly quali
ties of life here find exemplification.
A member of the order honored in
fraternal circles, Mr. Walter L. Tooze.
last evening delivered an address to
the Woodmen, said by thoso In attend
ance to bo of exceptional Interest.
It happens tbat oncy members of
the order had the benefit of this ad
dress or, perhaps, owned special part
in its Immediate application.
Bnt tb Herald finds that interest
Is taken by tho eommcmlty in the
speaker of tho evening, Mr. Toozo, be
cause of his prominence in the con
gressional contest.
For many years Mr. Tooze has been
a campaigner for others, for the Re
publican ticket. If be pursues the samo
method in bis own campaign, a suc
cessful opponent need be a man of ex
traordinary tact, ability and energy.
Sound on the groat principles of tho
party, a dobatcr, progressive in later
day economics, a man of trained mind,
oloon life, successful In business, an ad
vocato of the squaro doal, friendly and
with friends, who can deny that this
Is tho typo needed by this state in
congress now and always!
Which of the candidates mentioned
should bo moro aoccptablo and useful
to Linn county if nominated and elect
ed I
To this. view, Mr. Toozo looks liko
tho right man.

CONSTITUTION OIIANOINO.
A notnblo and timely paper Is that
In tho October Atlantic upon "Our
Changing Constitution," by Alfred
Penrce Dennis. Mr. Dennis by a
startling roll-call of tho recent oxtra
constitutional nets of tho oxecutivo
whieh havo yet stood without oontcst
or objection, shows th'ut tho constitu
tion Is actually in a state of ohangc.
His conclusion Is especially important
nntt suggestive.
"The constitution can be treated no
longer as a written instrument defining
the measure of American destiny, but
rather as the sum of the political hab
its and convictions of tho nation. Our
political development has followed tbo
course laid down by the rigid, written
constitution, but the nnebor of limita
tions is fixed In an clement which is
itself shifting and unstable. The old
conflict between the unyielding law
nnd tho living organism hns resulted
ns it must always rosult in any expand
ing life, in a victory for organism.
For the letter killeth, but the spirit
glveth life."
Tho constitutions of states and na
tions nrt growth, never at rest, forever
charging, some parts dead or dying,
other parts coming into life or expanding.
INSURANCE
PAPER TRIES
TO DEFEND
Som of the Papers Sarcastic
raragraphs Given a
Gentle Boost
Here are a few gems of thought from
the Insuraneo Press, on lifo insurance,
and the present investigation a brief
comment is attached to each:
"Tho yelping newspapers nro olo
ouentlv silent on the matter of tholt
own contribution to political cam
paigns."
What tboy gavo was tholr own, not
trust funds.
"Sorao men nre willing to contribute
moro por annum to campaign funds than
to an insurance fund for their families."
Tho Investigation shows tho terms
aro synonymous.
"Octobor vies with Juno as the
month of weddings. Tho next in im
portance to tho marrlago certificate is
tho insuraneo policy."
And marringo after all is not tbo
groatest lottery.
"Protection is likely to onco moro
beeomo an agitated question in politics.
This paper advocates n frco trado in
protection of families."
Great principle only tho presidents
of tho companies furnish tho families,
sons-in-law, too."
"Some autt&nn loaves turn red
doubtless blushing over tho bareness
of tbo trees. Your widow may turn pale
ovor tho baroness of your estate"
Especially If you thought you wero
Insured.
"Whoro is tho so-called nutocratia
power of tho companies They can
not insuro a man without his consent.
They cannot keep him without his con
sent. The man is tho dictator first and
lost."
No, thoy can only keep tho money bo
puts up, nnd kiok for moro.
"In tho natural order of things a
boy will beeomo a man, but occasion
ally tho boy lator becomes a donkey by
joining n fraternal order instead of a
level premium company."
Or ho may got softening of the
brain and fall a proy to the McCalU
and McCurdys and their ilk.

LARGEST CIVILIZED NATION.
Tho United States is by far tbo larg
est of all the civilized nations except
Russia, whieh has about 130,000,000 in
habitants. Tho German empire bos CO,

Japan 47,000,000, France 33,000,000, It
aly 38,000,000 and Spain 18,000,000.
China has 350,000,000, but she does net
count in the calculation of this sort.
Owing to tbo rapid growth of the Unit-
'cxl States, the Kngllsh language Is new
'spoken by more persona than use any
other civilised tongue.
Charles V said ho spoke German to
his horse, French to men, Italian to his
lady friends, and Spanish to Clod. In
his days, threo and a half centuries
I ago, Spain was a land on whieh the sun
never set, England was only a small
'spot on tho map. and tho Roglisk Ian-
fguage held only a minor place in the
civilized tongue.
Today 130.000,000 speak RogUsh,
100,000,000 speak Russian (for net all
the people of the empire talk the na
tlonal tongue), 75,000.000 uw German,
70,000,000 eriploy Spanish, including
tho Inhabitants of tho Latin-American
countries, and 40,000,000 speak French.
Moreover, tho lead for English is
rapidly lengthening. Nearly two-thlr"ds
