NO FREE SHIPS. !"
st-Intelligeneer.

Post t-Intelligencer.
The Portland oregonian continues to
rave about free ships. the form that its
acute free trade mania takes at the
present time. 1t notes the fact that
there was no outcry in Seattle when the
Garonne received an American regis
try, as an Endorsement here of the free
ship principle. On the contrary, the
special circumstances Of the case en-
tirely warranted the action taken. The
Garonne was not recently purchase" ("
but has been operated by her present
owners for three years. They also op-
crate American-built boats on the Yu-
kon, and are preparing to add other
boats built in this country to their
service. In view Of these circum-
stances. and the farther fact that the
ship in question had been in the gov
ernment transport service, the excep-
tion made in her favor was not COM
batted. But there is no demand in Sc
attic for free ships, much as we need
additional carriers for our trade. We
have seen quite enough Of the effects
Of free trade in this country, thank
you.
In another article the Oregonian be-
means the transfer to Victoria Of three
Britlsh-buit ships which it says the
San Francisco owners have bought re-
Gently and transferred to that port be-
cause American registry is denied 10
them. There are some strange features
about this performance which the Ore
gonian should explain. It says that
these vessels will make the greater
part Of their profits by carrying Amer
lean goods from American ports to for
eign markets" We fail somehow to
see why an American registry should
BE- indispensable for that. Large num-
bers Of foreign-built ships are in that
business and making a profit at It.
Why should these particular vessels
have to 90 to Victoria as their home
port If they are to engage in foreign
trade? This compulsory transfer II
not mythical, must have tremendous
sentiment behind 1t, If business men
alter their shipping routes and send
their vessels several hundred miles
away, not because they cannot engage
in any foreign commerce, but because
they cannot fly the American flag.
The whole thing, Of course, is fudge.

What worries the oregonian is that

die power might be kept regularly
burning That these figures were an
outside estimate OF the cost OF COM
pleting the light plant is proved by the
tenders received by the commission
from responsible manufacturing con-
Germs ranging as low as Sil. 900, all OF
which any Interested citizen may ver-
ify by calling on the proper officer OF
the water commission and requesting
an inspection Of his records. There can
be no doubt that the plant at the wa.
ter works could, by the addition OF
auxiliary steam machinery. be enlarg-
ed sufficiently TO furnish all the lights
required for town many times the
size Of Astoria at an expenditure OF
S5O,ooO-perhaps very much less-and
that the use Of private lights might
be Quadrupled at the low price at which
the commission could offer them. On
the basis Of the admitted income OF
the West Shore Mills Company it is
entirely reasonable to say the water
commission could clear $4,000 month
on the electric light plant This would
produce an interest on the investment
made very far in excess Of that
Of any private business investment In
the city. After the first year the plant
would probably be paid for and the cost
Of water and light could both be plac-
ell at figures which would bring these
two necessities within the abundant
and unrestricted use OF every lnhabi-
tant in the city. 1t is really surpris-
Ing that there should be any hesita-

public matter. The Inconvenience OF

in the matter without delay. Let the
water commission and city council get |
together at once and settle this
question. The taxpayers of the city de-
mand it. Some action must be taken
to relieve them from the extortionate
rates which the West Shore Mills Com.
pany has been so long able TO exact
from them as general taxpayers AMI in

THE ISSUE FOR CLATsoP COUNTY
VOTERS TO CONSIDER.

When the republicans go to Seaside
next Monday evening let them carry
a copy Of the resolutions adopted by
the Sioux City-convention. Let the al
tention of every voter be called to that
platform, and especially to the Sec
tions Of its remarkable deIiverance
here following:
The conduct OF the administration
in the Philippines is a ghastly travesty
upon all enlightened human govern
meDts. 1t is in conflict with all the
precedents Of our national life, at war
with the declaration of independence,
the constitution and the plain pre-
cepts Of the Christian religion. With
out reasonable excuse, it has devas-
tated the homes and blotted out the
lives Of thousands Of human beings.
whose only defense is a resolute de-
sire to establish republican home gov
ernment in the land of their nativity.
We demand that the relentless war of
determination against the Filipinos
snail cease and that the same treat
ment shall be accorded that suffering
people our government promised the
Cubsns.
We hold it to be the duty of the
greatest republic on earth to extend
sympathy to the youngest, and while
sympathizing with the republics Of
South Africa in their struggle with
the British empire, we demand that
the administration shall take prompt
steps to end the existing war on
terms honorable alike TO both parties,
among which shall be the recognition
Of the independence Of that patriotic
people. The indifference of the ad-
ministration toward these infant re-
pubiics proves the covert alliance be-
tween it and the British empire. 1t is
an object lesson which measures the
stride Of Imperialism.
we denounce the action Of
the governor Of Idaho and the
federal government in using the
military arm Of the government to
abridge and suppress the civil and in
herent rights Of the laborers Of the
Occur d'Alene by establishing an in
famous permit system, which denies
citizens the sacred right Of organiz-
ing for their mutual advancement and
compels them TO renounce their man.
hood, their liberties and their rights
before being permitted to seek employ
ment.
Now let it be remembered that Mr..
Bryan has been nominated for presi-
den. by the convention which put forth
these declarations. Let it be remem-
bered that there is no opening here for
lodging or tergiversation. Mr. Bryan
must either refuse the nomination ten
dered him by this convention, or, ac-
eepting that nomination, he must en-
dorse its platform and pledge himself
If elected, to carry out by every means
in his power the principles so enunciat-
ed. Is there an intelligent man in
Clatsop county who wants to see these
Sioux City ideas put in practice? Do

CONTEST CASE DECIDED.

The case Of Dooley VS.. Freuden-
thal came up before the District
Court in Lincoln county last week
TO decide who was entitled to
the certificate of election as
State Senator from that county.
It will be remembered that
on the face of the returns Mr.. Doo-
ley had a majority of six; but in
the recount which was demanded
the County Commissioners decided
to count q number of ballots which
had been rejected by the Inspectors
of, Election, and in this manner Mr..
Prudential was given an apparent
majority of eight votes. This action
was sustained by the District Court,
and Mr.. Prudential will represent
Lincoln county in the State Senate
for the next four years, unless that
body sees fit to override that decis-
ion when the case comes before il, az
it undoubtedly will.

ago the floating debt Of the county

dollar. Today this indebtedness is
entirely paid up, and there are funds
in the treasury to pay ell warrants on

tons going on in eleven different
camps, and the coal finds at Grassy
Mountain, together with the assured
building Of the Los Angeles & Salt
Lake railroad across the county, q dis
lance of 24O miles. the outlook for the
future is bright indeed.

Sam p. Davis, Nevada's State
Controller, spent q few days in Salt
Lake City last week for the purpose
OF ascertaining what steps we're be-
ing taken in Utah in the direction of
reforming the tax system Of the
State. As q result OF an interview
with him the Salt Lake Tribune Of
December Is published the follow
ing concerning the tax valuations in
Nevada:
Nevada valuations foot up about
s25, 600, 900" said Mr.. Davis, with
an average tax rate Of $3.50, when il
really should be q valuation of at
least 800. 0OO, 900, with 9 tax rate Of
about one dollar on the hundred.
Most of the Western States have
similar methods Of assessing, which
result in q seemingly high rate, which
has the effect of keeping outside in
vestments away. The West has
made great strides in development OF
late years. but ii has failed to secure
proper credit. owing to the bungline
system of taxation"
Mr.. Davis is endeavoring to secure
such legislation as will bring about
full valuation of taxable property
and q corresponding lowering Of
rates of taxation. "This question:
says MI. Davis, sis one in which
every business man in the West il
vitality interested"
