ProDn 37 Cut to I'.ml KwM AS OTHERS SEE US To the Editor Daily Capital Journal: In the issues of your paper of the 11th, 12th and 13th, you used much space in attacking and attempting to belittle one of Oregon's and the nation '8 best friends. Carefully have I read and .-oread the articles in an honest endeavor to divine the motive, but without avail, unless it be jealously on your part of his success in life as compared to some others, or jealousy due to the nice reception given him by the Portland people, and the reference to him by the Portland paper) as the "Empire builder." The Capital Journal wants to know the Empires he has buildod. He has aided Minnesota in his net work of roads. His roads spread out over Montana and Wyoming and across Northern Idaho, thereby opening these states to homestead settlers, and bas brought the lands and their products nearer good markets. When his roads reached Portland, that fact alone help ed Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Wash. ington and the city of Portland, and the state of Oregon, and as soon as the Pauama canal is completed, will be of advantage to the people of New York, in furnishing better markets and hotter facilities; and to Portland merchants alone, opened a great territory for trade. The !oming of the Oregon Elec tric aided Salem in giving it two rail road systems. It aided all tho people in the valley. In making these statements, would not for one moment dotract from the benefit brought to the Btato by the Southern Pacific. It is a groat rail road, and Mr. Harriman, who, in his lifetime, was at its head was not only a great man from a railroad point of view, but he was big and broad from a national standpoint; and I also think tho Southern Pacific, under its prosont management, is of untold benefit to the peoplo of Oicgon, and except for the influence of such articlos as those that I am referring to recently published in your paper, could be of greator ben efit; but because this is so; docs not Mr. Hill make any the less groatfor the things he has accomplished. You say: "Jim Hill built his rail roads for the purpose of enriching Jora Hill." Does that fact render him any tho loss an "Empire buildor," and make him' unworthy of public notice and decent courteous treatment! Hor ace Greely extended tho iuflunnco of the Tribune, nation wide; and grew rich in the act. Did it make him any the less a patriot? What are you running Tho Capital Journal for, the good of Salem or foi if close search is made, and so with Mr. Hill, or while endeavoring to make a good investment for himself he aided ten thousand others to do likewise, and brought benefits to several millions, and among other things, gave The Cap ital Journal something to write about though the opportunity was very badly abused. The Capital Journal seems to think that Mr. Hil Owns 800,000 acres in Oreg on, and on this should reduce the price. I dare say Mr. Hill does not own one acre of the 800,000; but presume others, along with his son. do, and these acres now are far from transportation facil ities, and will only be made available by large expenditures of money. Will you put up the immediate coat to bring these acres closer to the intend ing settler, and make them desirable for homesf I am frank to say, I hope the Hills will make good money on the purchase of these lands, for then they will have more money to invest in other worthy enterprises that the people desire de veloped; but you, judging from your articles, would like to see the Hills go broke. The Southern Pacific, which hat large holdings in Oregon, iB of vast ben efit 'to Salem, and you do not make that system of any greater bonofit to your people by belittling those who own other properties tnere. 1 Know there are some who imagine they grow greator bb others are pulled down. 1 doubt the correctness of that theory. Your attacks on Mr. Hill, instead of aiding Salem, only tend to hurt Salem, and do not increaso the influence of your paper for good. Your newspaper space is too valuablo for the use you put it to. D. C. LEWIS t St. Johns, Or. COMPLAINS OP TAXES. Ed. Capital Journal: What's tho matter with the old town; whore are wo going to stop? Taxes for 1913 at 15.5 mills, and the end not yet in sight. Talk about your prosperity, your Commercial club and your booster organi?atioii8 which are supposed to lend thoir efforts to ad vance the best interests of Salem; how are you going to explain the present tax ratet It can't be did. The follow who comos from tho east to make his and tying the can to a lot of barnacles, who are everlastingly waiting for pay day to roll around. I understand that the old administration left office with little or no debt; this has been in creased to over 40,000 and why I What's the use of making an annual budget if it is not going to be re spected f Exceeding legal limitations of the charter is malfeasance in office, and any one guilty should be compelled to ride with a martingale and not an over check rein. Tour paper seems to be anxious to espouse the people's cause, then why don't you do itt Do it in such a way that extravagances will cease, and, per haps a long-suffering public will take pleasure in the thought and feeling that after all, the owning of one's own home, not alone adds pleasure and hap piness, but it is cheaper than paying rent. This is a discussion worth opening, and I would like to have your editor ial views on the subject. Anything ii the shape of relief would be welcome. ONE OF YOUR KEADEKS. CLOSED ! . t .

The Most Popular Beverage on the Pacific Coast Salem Bottled Beer it brewed in one of the most modern plant on the Pacific Coast. It is aged in steel glass-lined tanks. It is conveyed by modern pipe line system direct to the bottle house, bottled under pressure and never comes in con .tact with the air from the time it leaves the fermenting tank until the bottle is opened by the consumer. Therefore the consumer is' absolutely assured a beer of ideal effervescence, snap and purity. A trial will surely convince you.

Tho administration as con ducted is doing its best to dostroy our splondid city by smothering it with taxos, and the ond Is not yet In sight. What's the una of our being surrounded by an agricultural community ready and willing to dump its gold in our lap, what's tho use of improving our city, what's the use in boosting, if we are going to be penalized for onir thrlftt What's tho use In building homos when it Is cheaper to live in rontod houses; what's the use of existing in a com munity whore the tax collector grabs everything in slghtf What's the use of living at all and being mlsorahlc!

I don't know how the rest of you sleepyheads fool ajiout It; stand ing the gnff year by year like a fellow dying from slow tuberculosis, but I for one would like to see a material ehnnge. There is either neglect in our admin istration or extravagance, or both, both are equally bad. If our present form of of government Is out of kilter, why in the iinino of common sense don't the people niBke a change, it couldn't be worse, Bnd perhaps might bo a wliolo lot better. There's going to lie some thing doing In the old town some day, and when our good citizens wnko up, they will chango the whole form of gov ernment, nnd put a lioml to its affairs similar to any other biisiiiens Institu tion.
