THE TEOPLE'S PROGRAM.
The city politicians might as well make up their minds that
there is a demand for more of a people's program in tcity af
fairs. The way sewer matters are muddled up there is no way out
of a square issue on that matter that will clear title to property.
Anyone who will read the pleadings in the sewer litigation
will come to the conclusion that there was very careless work.
All bond issues in the past but the water bonds, have been
voted down because the popular loan plan has been abandoned.
The old system by which all fees in state cases went into the
city treasury has been switched, and in electing a new city
marshal that should bo borne in mind.
The people will get nothing they do not fight for, and the of
fice holders should be asked to give the people some pledges.
These pledges are pretty well outlined in the resolutions adopt
ed at the South and North Salem meetings.
i . . . i
What ails Portland? Streets quiet. Hotels restful with hun
dreds of empty rooms. Many, many houses to rent. Many,
many stores empty. Business men cutting down forces of em
ployes. Public officials driving nails in the coffin of the pub
lic service corporations. No street car lines being extended. Let
up in the building trades. Speculative franchises being cracked
through as the last profitable industry of the agitator in office.
Sorry for you, but come to a city that is growing by leaps, and
where everybody is not doing it to the corporations.
THE THIRD PARTY SITUATION.
All admit that the third parly convention at Salem committed
hari-kari, but there is no proof yet of who queered the situat ion.
It is certain that men like Kcllaher, Joseph and others have
quietly withdrawn their support of the- slate program.
The bitter roasting of Bourne and the denunciation of Olcott,
direct primary and presidential preference leaders did it.
There is not only no newspaper support of the third party, but
pretty general condemnation.
The only strong man on the ticket is Campbell, for congress,
and be openly repudiated the action of the convention in turning
down I'.ourne and Olcott.
There continues to he columns of reports of quarrels and dis
sensions in the ranks of the "Bull Moose" party in this state.
Those- quarrels have grown so bitter they have so injured the
effectiveness of the campaign being put up by the third party
that on Friday evening the Daily News of Portland, which has
largest circulation of any paper in the state, openly supporting
Teddy Roosevelt, admitted for the first time that Roosevelt
might be third in the race in this state.
It said many other things under the caption "Teddy, You Are
Double Crossed."
'Theodore Roosevelt was the choice of this state for Re
publican nominee in the primaries last spring. Put if Theo
dore wins in November it will be a wonder. It is alxnit
thirty days to election; if the leaders of the Orgon Bull
Moose parly make as many fool mistakes in the next thirty
days as they have in the last, Colonel Roosevelt will not run
second, hut THIRD in Oregon.
Either the Bull Moose party in this nock of woods is go
ing to wake up or the most awful slamming a ticket ever got
is going to be handed out.
Like all new parties, the Moose party is suffering from the
demonstrations of machine appetite on the part of the leaders.
The Astorian tells that, town a lot of wholesome truth, and
gets little but curses. The Capital Journal prides itself on giv
ing the city advice to which it can always refer with pride and
pat itself on the back for afterward. It advised the acquisition
of Fairmount Tark, the Northwest Stovo Works and the Falls
City lumber plant. ' 1,1
Western Oregon is famous for its long-wooled sheep, and the
ease with which the politicians pull the wool over the eyes of
the people.
INCREASING RAILWAY RETURNS.
Current reports of the revival of railway traffic are verified
1v the official returns for the month of July, compiled by the
Bureau of Railway Economics from reports to the Interstate
Commerce Commission covering 220,000 miles, about 90 per
cent of the steam railway mileage of the country.
The increases in net revenue were not, however, universal.
For the Eastern group of railways the increase over July,
was 10.9 per cent, or $2.01 per mile of line per day; for
the Western group 1(5.4 per cent, or $1.29 per mile of line per
dav.
The net revenue of the Southern group decreased 5.5 per cent
or 41 cents per mile of line perday.
Taking the average per mile of line for the month for the
country as a whole, total operating revenues increased $89 or
8.7 per cent ; operating excuses increased $5,'? or 7.6; while net
operating revenue increased $1)5.89 or 11 per cent.
Taxes amounted to $ 15 per mile of line, an increase of 8.5 per
cent.
The aggregate of all net operating revenue for the month was
$80.197,7 -in, an aggregate increase og $9,0:57.010.
This net operating revenue per mile-of lino for the seven
months of the calendar year continues less than for the corre
sponding seven months of 1911.
Net operating revenue is the amount available for taxes, rent
als, interest on bonds, appropriations for betterments and divi
dends. In the midst of numerous prosecutions in Linn county, the
blind pigirers seem to multiply. Brownsville is especially affect
ed, and the governor may have to order a troop of cavalry up
there armed with pickaxes and jimmies to break onen the vari
ous illicit establishments and get after the pigs. That city has
struggled hero'cidlv for twenty years to suppress the illicit traf
fic engendered by its citizens, seme of whom regularly take their
drinks and vote the rest of theconnnunity dry, as a kind of a
bacchanalian joke. The town has appealed to, the sheriff and
county courts and officers in vain and now the military of the
government alone will save them.
Stack the grain next vear, gentlemen. Get ready now. Se
lect a place, and put in the rainy days making racks to haul the
grain to the stack.
Ben Olcott is attending to his duties as secretary of state, and
the people will see to it that he is elected.
The Bull Moose convention threw away great opportunities in
Oregon by not renominating Senator Bourne and Secretary of
State Olcott. But some of the leaders preferred to paw the air
and bellow to using their brains, which seems to be a Bull Moose
privilege.
