FOOLISH CITY BUILDING.
The mistake of laying cheap pavements on principal streets
of Salem will be paid for dearly.
A bad pavement stops improvements, and all advance in the
value of property.
How much will property advance on Mission street, with its
fiix-:r.ch deep macadam mud?
No good improvement will be made on a street that has con
crete that is crumbling.
Ninety cents a yard will not build a good pavement, as prop
erty owners will learn to their sorrow.
The fly-by-night, non-resident contractor has no reputation to
maintain, and gives no bond.
When smaller cities are laying only the best standard pave
ments, the beautiful Capital City must have the worst.
o
THE RECORD OF THE COUNTY COURT.
When all other taxing bodies have gone the limit, the county
court has held back.
Marion county has the lowest county levy of any valley coun
ty, and the court Bhould be sustained.
Judge Bushey and Commissioner Beckwith should be renom
inated. With a reckless county court our taxes would have gone to 40
mills this year.
If the farmers and the small property owners do not sustain
this county court they will pay dearly for it.
The banker and business man can make back the high taxes
they pay.
The laborer and the man 'ho tills the soil must dig for their
money direct.
If they desire they can uphold a conservative court, and they
should do it.
Elect a city lawyer to the of lice of county judge, and the first
demand will be a higher salary.
The high salary does not insure good government, but higher
tf.X'f),
The Capital Journal has done its duty in warning the people
against higher taxes.
If they turn down the men who have made a good record for
low taxes, they deserve no sympathy.

rUBLIC DOCKS AT SALEM.
The greatest need of Salem at present is public docks.
Salem is getting railroads and is growing in business import
ance. Salem is bound to become a great distributing center for the
Willamette valley.
Snlom is bound to build up a great deal of manufacturing.
With railroads running east and west and north and south,
with trans-continental lines and interurban lines, Salem is sure
to be a jobbing center.
With the establishment of free locks and canal at Oregon City
the entire Willamette valley will become a manufacturing re
gion. Now is the time for the city to take up the securing of publicly-owned
docks on the river.
With three railroads operating on Front street, the time has
ome to secure dockage that shall be open. to the people.
Mayor I-nchmund gave this matter some attention, and the
t it v council turned down his plans of procedure.
The matter should be taken up again, and water frontage and
public docks should now be acquired.
TUP TEXT- BOOK COMMISSION
' The last text-book commission just about doubled the burdens
of ihn people fo: school books.
Children staggered to school with an armful of expensive
school books and contraptions. .
The most outrageous job ever put up on the people was en
acted by the school book commission.
The people had supplied their children with good new books
but a short tme before.
The chldren and teachers were just becoming used to them,
when they were mostly changed.
' No one asked for the changes, but the school book manufac
turers. The merchants had to lay in enormous stocks of the new
books and tho additional books.
The poorer clnss of people had to pay the bill.
There is no recall on the text-book commissioners, and Gover
nor West should not reappoint them.
It would be a shame to name these men to the public, they
rnicht do them injury.
But the new text-book commission ought not go in to rob the
jieople for a lot of cormorant publishers.
Thero ought also to have been a little regard for the fact that
children ought to learn the common branches.
o-
THE FREE RURAL MAIL,
Salem business men are not opposed to a limited parcels post
on the rural free delivery route?.
Such a system as is outlined in tho resolution below would in
crease the business of local merchants ten per cent.
It would be a great accommodat ion to the public living on the
frw rural mail routes, and would earn money for the govern
ment. Out of 400,000 free rural routes established in this country
only 100 of thim are carrying full capacity,
'!'? rer.t are only currying 25 per cent of what they might
carry, and could handle parcels lioth ways with present equip
ment. Following resolution was offered by editor of The Capital
Journal, and will bo further discussed:
"Resolved, That we endorse the limited parcels post with a
maximum weight of 11 pounds and a maximum charge of 25
cents, to Iw confined to business originating on rural mail routes
and ro delivery beyond the route itself, the minimum charge to
be 10 cents for the first five pounds and 5 cents addition for each
two pounds or fraction thereof."
o .
' ' ' BUSINESS MEN FOR ROOSEVELT.
It wn a surprise that out of thirty Salem business men only
twelve should have been for Taft, ten for Roosevelt and three
or La MMte.
It was an unexpected development of the progressive and in
digent strength in tho stronghold of Taft sentiment, the state
capitol.
It seems the free rural mail carriers are pretty strong for
Roosevelt, according to their paper, the R. F. I). News.
As a matter of fact, the only candidate for whom laboring
men, regardless of politics, have any enthusiasm is Roosevelt.
The rest of the Republican and Democratic candidates belong
to the professional and exploiting class.
DOCTRINE IS
FAR REACIIIilG
AND DANGEROUS
Minn rim uud wiu.
Washington. March 11. What Chief
Justice White, of the United States
supreme court branded as "far reach
ing and dangerous doctrine," was de
livered today by the United States su
preme court when It dealt a severe
blow to "cut rate' stores by holding
that the sale or use or patented ar
tides contrary to the license restric
tions prescribed by the patentee is in
infringement of patent
JusUce Lamar, and Hughes, as
well as the chief justice, dissented
to the majority opinion of the court,
which was delivered by Justice Lur-
ton.
The opinion was rendered In the
case of the Dick company, mimeo
graph manufacturers, against Sidney
Henry.'a sale agent who was alleged
to have used on Dicks machines ink
manufactured by a rival, which was
contrary to the Dick license.
The court ruled: "Patents are a
statutory monopoly and congress
alone is empowered to change law
limiting a patentee's rights."
Chief Justice White in dissenting
said: "This majority opinion curtails
the right of society. Everyone knows
there is now widespread limitation to
use and price of patented articles. I
bought a razor recently and found I
had infringed on the patent, accord
Ing to this decision, by paying the
price asked which was below that
prescribed by the patentee. Who
can predict how far this practice will
spread with the sanction now given
Dy tne court?"
In his opinion Chief Justice White
Bald In part:
"The ruling now made In effect Is
that the patentee has the power by
contract to extend his patent rights
to bring within the claims of his pat
ent tnings not embraced thereln.thus
virtually legislating by causing the
patent laws to cover subjects thev
could not otherwise reach. The re
sult Is not only to multiply the mo
nopolies at the will of the interested
party but to destroy the Jurisdiction
of state courts over subjects which
nave been within their rights.
"The patentee Belling a patented
engine now has the right, by con
tract, to bring under the patent laws
all contracts for coal and electricity
uhpq 10 airera power to work his ma
chine. Take patented cooking uten
sils. The power is now recognized
to bind by contract on who buys a
utensil to use It in connection with
no other food supply but what the
patentee sells. My nund cannot stave
off a dread of the vast extension of
such practices which must follow."
I hose advocating the doclslon had
a majority of only one and as one
seat, that of Justice Day. was va
cant, the majority decision was real
ly rendered by a minority of the en
tire court. Attorney General Wloker
sham, In commenting on the decision,
said:
"It opens the possibility of a pat
ent monopoly beyond anything I ever
inougnt was in its soopn. It Is most
drastic In Its administrations of the
patent law, one of tho most lmDort-
ant, and which affects the entire pub
lic.
