t' magazine published in New

contains the picture of a ra'h

holding o'oft a pair of old fnshicn'l

Over her right shoulder is carelessly

HIS DECISIONS SUSTAINED.
I
T STRIKES US that those who hopa
to override Judge Galloway's de
cision in the referendum case, in
which ho holds the calling of the
special election unconstitutional,
aro doomed to disappointment. Tho
ciiko is so fully analyzed, the points
made so plain, and those points all so
fatal to the law that it does not see:n
possible tho supreme court can do oth
erwise than affirm his decision, if it
ever gets before that court for action.
Judge Galloway is not disposed to
split hairs, to pay undue attention to
small technical niceties, to distinguish
ing by seconds between the south an I
southwest side. Ho has the rather rare
old fushioned idea of injecting good
common sense into tho law and getting
therefrom tho proper mix.
His ruling sustaining the railroad
commission In its suit with tho P. R. L.

the total is absolutely correct.
SALEM BONDS AND THE MARKET.
S'
ALEM '8 city fathers aro now do
bating tho matter of readjusting
Its sewer bond issue of $HNO,000
for sale. Theso bonds aro un.
doubtedly first-class, gilt-edged
security, but it is doubtful if they can
he sold at par, simply because tho fi
nancial market is glutted with bonds,
of all kinds, classes and degrees. Tho
offer made for tho bonds by tho U. S
National bank, would have let tho city
realize a little better than PS cents on
the dollar, but under the provision of
the charter as we understand it, the
city council could not accept a bid of
less than par.
Seattle recently placed a bond issuo
of $07.'i,000 drawing 5 per cent interest,
nt par, but at tho same time sho re
duced the Interest on tho deposits of
city money, which would have been
psiil by the banks which practically
gives tho banks taking the bonds t'M,
000 a year, which ia tho same as though
the Interest was 8 per cent.
Portland bonds put on the market re
cently did not prove attractive, and
wero sold at SS.7i, or a discount of a
little mnro than II cents on the dollar.
Portland's bonds, however, drew only
4'i per rent as agaiust the 8 per rent
bonds of Seattle.
New York, the state, recently tried
to sell a t:,(IOO,000 bond issue, but was
unable to do so at satisfactory rates,
It will be seen from this that the out
look for selling bonds at par just now
is not brilliant. However, we can but
try. The bonds aro gilt-edged, so far
as security is concerned and If the
do not bring par, it is because the sup
ply of bonds Is greater than the do-
maud, and the demand for money from
t $V-m-fcv$
other sources ia bo great that increased
interest, even though it is but for a
short time, cleans the market of money
that otherwise would seek investment
in just such securities as Salem has to
offer. ,
THE CORPORATION WINS, ANT
WAT. THE United States supreme court
has decided that the order
made by the Oregon railroad
commission, reducing the fare
between Portland and Milwau
kee, from 10 to 5 cents, and that be
tween Portland and Oak Grove from 15
cents to 10, is not in violation of the
13th amendment to the federal consti
tution, that the act of the commission
was legal, and that its order must
stand. This case was on appeal from a
decision of Judge Galloway, and was
sustained by both the state and the
United States supreme courts.
The order applied to that big-hearted,
public-spirited corporatioii, the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Company,
which imagines it is an elemosynary in
stitution, because it wants to save the
public from the trouble and annoyance
ot carrying and taking care of its own
money.
The order was made about six years
ago, and this charitable institution, the
P. R., L. & P. Co., has been fighting
the order in the courts for that time.
Tn the meanwhile, it has issued cer
tificates to ticket purchasers that will
now entitle them to a five-cent rebate
on each ticket purchased, that is provid
ing the certificates have been kept.
That this has been done to any consid
erable extent is extremely doubtful
The American peoplo are not "thrifty"'
are not savers. That little 5-cent cer
tificate, if accepted at all would be
jammed in a vest pocket, and forgotten
until the owner prodding after a match
or something else, would find it wadded
up, and in nine cases out of ten, toss it
away. Yet the aggregate of these 5-
cent certificates, the dispatch says, am
ounts to $20,000 or more, which the
company would have to pay if the cer
tificates had been kept. This illus
trates the truth of the old Scotch say
ing that "many a niickle makes a
muekle." Tho five-cent rebate certifi
cates were not worth saving, but there
were $20,000 worth of them. Another
feature of tho matter is, that the litiga
tion, which practically cost the company
nothing since its attorneys are on sal
ary and employed by the year, haB en
abled tho company to defy the order of
the commissioners, set tho law aside for
six years, and continue to collect the
forbidden fare during that time in open
defianco of the law. Of course the
company will have to pay a portion of
this money, but it will be a small por
tion only, for the reason that tho certi
ficates are lost. In this way the com
pany is permitted to take advantage of
its own wrong which is also against
tho law. Corporations may sometimes
die, but no one ever heard of the de
in i so being caused by enlargement of
tho heart. In deciding the ease five
years or more ago, Judge Galloway or
dered tho company to file a bond in the
Bum of $10,000, that it would redeem all
certificates issued by it pending the
final settlement of tho case, so that the
traveling public, is protected bo far as
the court was able to protect it, and if
it hasn't saved its certificates, it is tho
fault of the individual alone if he does
not get his money back.

Litigious insanity is the charge
agaiust W. I, Hoosey, whose trivial
troubles have kept the Medford courts
from getting lonesome for the past five
years. It is an old disease but never be
fore classified. If a man does not be
lieve in law he is an anarchist, if he be
lieves in referring everything to it, he
is a litigious menace. Wo Americans
are surely a cantnkerous bunch.

The American girl consumes $75,000,
000 worth of candy yearly. The Spa's:
share in this large sum is getting larg
er every year. You won 't have to jog
your memory very hard to remember
when candy worth the name cost al
most double what it does there. The
proprietors, Messrs. W. T. Stolz and F.
O. Myers, have revolutionized prices
and standards during the 20 years they
have been in business at the same loca
tionand they have reason to be a lit
tle vain of the quality and success of
their own make of candies, of which
they have over 100 different varieties.
Their ice cream, sherbets and frozen
custards are delicious. Delicious is a
strong word, but it is diluted praise
when applied to such toothsome delica
cies. The thoughts of the good things
to be had there is almost equal to real
ization. There is such a vast difference in
candies such a variety in quality and
price that it is hard to tell when you
are getting good candy until you have
paid for it. That being the case, that
is why the Spa is so careful to have ev
ery piece of their candy good fresh and
delicious as cand yean be made.
The Spa is in a class by itself, be
ing equaled only by one or two stores
of this kind in Portland. It has a seat
ing capacity of 130 people, and the pro
prietors are contemplating the addition
of another room, which will increase
the Beating capacity by 50 or more.
One yoar ago they installed one of
the latest, most up-to-date soda foun
tains, 28 feet in length.
This establishment employs from 12
to 15 people the year around, having
a monthly pay roll of over $000 per
month.
