A GOOD SUGGESTION.

State Insurance Commissioner Heifner
makes the following pertinent suggestion
concerning fraternal insurance orders, in
his report to the legislature:
"There is urgent need of legislation
compelling fraternal beneficiary orders
to report to this department, and before
transacting business in this state, secure
certificate of authority SO to do, the
same as other insurance company. At
present the most impracticable schemes
conceivable are foisted upon our citizens
by INSCRIPTIONS promoters under the
garb OF fraternity whose only object is
to create salared positions for them
selves. Ii a reasonable law were enacted
governing fraternal orders it would be
productive OF much good to the insuring
public, and also be of incalculable value
in maintaining the honor and respecta-
bilitv of hose legitimate fraternal soci-
cites whose mission has been and now is
to furnish safe, temporary insurance and
indemnity. lam not opposed to fraternal
orders, but would protect the honorable
ones from the dishonorable by requiring
them all to report to this department
and submit their financial condition to
the inspection OF the proper officials"

LET US HAVE A ROAD.

We are in receipt CT a copy Of House
Bill No. 81, introduced by Representative
Bush, providing for the state road from
Mmtesano to South Bend, via the north
side of the Cllehalis river to u point OPP
posite Cosmopolis, crossing the river
there, thence via North river valley to
south Bend. While we do not believe
this road to he of as much importance to
Chehals county as would be the road
proposed to run down the north side OF
the harbor to North Beach, the HERALD
has no disposition to obstruct its passage
by advocating the introduction of more
than one road bill by this county. Should
this bill become law, it will provide a
road almost to the eastern boundary of
Aberdeen, and this city will still be con-
fronted with what has been the great
difficulty in the wayof all roads projected
here in the past ten years, i. e. to make
Il road from the open streets to the city
limits. This will always devolve on the
city, and it has been suggested that it
would pay the city to disncorporate that
portion lying east of the bluff Whether
the state road is built or not Aberdeen
will have road to Montesano this year,
and it would be we'll to have the city
engineer 60 over the ground and report
the most feasible route, and start the road
to the city limits as soon as possible.

Senator Teller said of the Filipino petit
ton, presented by him, which he wishes
to have printed as public document,
and which is now in the hands of the
senate committee on the Philippines
"My Filipino petition represents what
might be called the great middle class OF
the Philippine islands. 1t is no protest
from the national Filipino government.
There is not in the list of 1000 and more
names, that of one oflice-holder under
the Filipino government. No one can
charge that the document enanates from
Aguinaldo or his followers. 1t is a sim
cere and unbiased protest from the bust
ness men and respectable citizens of the
island against the treatment they are
receiving from the U. s, and it is in the
nature OF petition for redress. con-
slider that in its way, it is one of the
most conclusive documents that has yet
been put in the hands of the American
people. 1t is the last word from the
main body of educated business-like
Filipinos. The original document was,
of course, in Spanish. 1t was delivered
to me by Inestizo, himself a most bril-
liant specimen of the well-educated half
spanish and half Filipino business man.
The document has been carefully trans
lated, and every American should have
an opportunity to read it,"

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THURSDAY. JAN. ST, 1901.
THE BICYCLE LICENSE TAX.

While the Daily Bulletin was throwing
several kinds of fits over the decision OF
the supreme court i'm the Hoquiam BIZ
cycle license tax case, the HERALD de-
ferred giving an opinion, as to the effect
of the decision upon the Aberdeen Ordi-
nance, until we were able to procure a
copy of the decision.
This was received during the week,
and the reading of it plainly discloses
that our esteemed contemporary was, as
usual, the victim of a premature ex-
plosion. The decision of the court has
no bearing whatever upon the bicycle
ordinance of this city. The case in ques-
ton involved the validity of an ordinance
of Hoquam, enacted prior to the act Of
1899, which authorized all municipal
corporations to regulate and license the
riding Of bicycles, etc. And, in deciding
the matter, the court held the town had
no right, UNDER IT'S GENERAL POWERS, to
exact Il license fee as a prerequisite to
the right to travel on its streets. But,
CtIlllluctt l1IC tOuIt, NtNUliCl ~ hioy
do So under an express statutory grant OF
power we do not now determine"
The Aberdeen ordinance was framed
under the act of 1899, which gave cities
that 'express grant of power" and is as
much in effect today as it was when en-
acted. The act of 1899 was passed at
the urgent request of wheelmen from all
parts of the state, and the Aberdeen or
dinance was passed by the city council
upon the request of a majority of the
wheelmen of the city, expressed by
petition, and the Daily Bulletin does the
bicyclists of this city an injustice when
it attempts to convey the impression that
those wheelmen are writhing under an
unpopular and unjust tax. That two
ANONYMOUS writer's could be found Oh
iecting to the tax is not surprising.
greater number could easily be found
Directing to all forms of taxation, espec-
iallv il they could hide under a nom de
plume.
The insinuation of the Bulletin that
the bicycle path commissioners have
been derelct in their duty is gratuit-
Gus insult to those citizens, who serve
the city, and give their valuable time,
without compensation and is entirely
unsupported by the facts. II any con-
siderable number of wheelmen desire
the tax abolished, they can petition the
council for the repeal OF the ordinance.
Meanwhile the law is in full effect, and
the prompt payment of the tax should
be insisted upon.

There was small occasion for the
tempest in the teapot that was created
in the city council saturday night =, -. -
til. ,,-trtlon OF the ministerial assocla-
ton asking for the enforcement of the
sunday law, the suppression OF gam
bling. and sfor the closing OF saloons at
midnight. The discussion of Saturday
night did not effect the matter in the
least. 1t was referred to a committee in
the end, and it is to that committee that
arguments pro and con should be made,
and later to the council upon the adopt
ion or rejection of such report as the
committee may submit The warm dis
cussion Saturday night was simply a
waste of the councils time. That
saloons require legal restraint is univer-
sally admitted. and the petition OF the
ministerial association is but the nOiiti-
cation OF IL fact that has been daWning
upon the city authorities for some time,
that is. that some of those establishments
are disposed to take advantage OF any
leniencv shown them. An effort to
eliminate this class OF saloons will be
welcomed by the owners of legitimate
establishments as well as the general
public, and it is believed this will be the
outcome OF the petition.

Montesano is making strong effort to
have state normal school established
at that city, and, we trust, with fair hope
of success. The bill introduced for that
purpose provides for donation of ten
acres of land in the city, and carries no
appropriation. Montesano is admirably
located for a school town, and has the
old Goucher Academy building in which
a normal school could be held pending
the erection of new building. The
chief opposition to the project comes from
South Bend, good town, but not sc
fortunately located for the purpose As

The City Library.

The Aberdeen Library Association
held its annual meeting yesterday after.
noon, in the library room in the Del
Monta hotel, and elected the following
officers: President, Mrs. c. n. Phelps
Librarian, Mrs. /. W. Mason; Trustees,
Mesdames, Frank Drake, c. II. Phelps,
John Perry, N. w. Bush and l. w.
Mason; Book Committee, Miss May
Becker, and Mesdames j. B. Haynes,
| N. W. Bush, NV. Mason and John Perry.
The matter of turning over the library
to the city authorities was discussed, and
it was the unanimous opinion of the
meeting that the objects for which the
library was organized and maintained
would be best promoted by transferring
to the city, provided the city was in pos
ition, and willing to establish city
library.
A statute of 1895 provides that cities
of the third class may establish city
libraries, when the council is petitioned
by three taxpayers so to do; the said
petitioners guaranteeing a donation of
$1,000, in money or books, with which to
start the library. The association has
now more than $50 volumes, which,
with the cases, are valued ut about $500,
and it was decided to offer this to the
city, and endeavor, with the aid of our
philosophical citizens, to raise the
other $500 by popular subscription.
The idea OF the ladies of the library
association is very worthy one, and it
is commended to the careful attention of
the city council, with the suggestion
that the legal authority of the city to
proceed in the matter, under the statute
of 1895 be referred to the city attorney.
but that the necessary $500 in cash will
be Forthcoming.

The resolution introduced by Council =
man Morehead, Saturday night, looking
toward the purchase of site for a city
hall, is very timely. The quarters occu-
pied at present by the city officers are
rapidly becoming too small, and it is
wise to begin looking up a location for a
permanent city hall. 1t has been sug-
gested that an advantageous deal might
be arranged with the school district,
whereby the city would secure the Wish
kah street school building and the dis
trict purchase block for school purposes
in more central location. a committee
of the council and the school directors
are examining the proposition.

bonds which were credited as sold to
Farson, Leach & Co., of Chicago, early

whether an eastern concern will give
par for the second mortgage, but &C

sold for less. Some of the Montana

in this emergency, but as a rule the

VOTE FOR THE BONDS.

Those having the educational inter
ests of this county at heart should
not forget that tomorrow they will
have an opportunity to contribute by
their votes and influence to the up
building of the educational facilities
of this community. In the several
counties of this state where the coun-
ty free high school has been inaugur-
ated it has proven highly beneficial,
providing as it does, means of high
err education than that afforded by the
ordinary common school curriculum,
and a means of preparation at home
for those pupils who wish to pursue
their studies in college or university.
The trend of public sentiment these
days is toward making education from
the lowest to the highest grades as
free and as easily accessible as posi-
BILE. To this end colleges are en-
dowed by wealthy patrons, and the
practice of providing and extending
educational facilities is becoming more
generally and widely accepted as a
governmental function. Communi-
ties farthest advanced along these
lines are recognized as the most pro-
gressive. and they are given prefer
ence as places of residence by those
who have children to be educated.
Particularly to the country residents
the high school idea should appeal
with force. The curriculum of the
ordinary country school is usually
most deficient, and there is nothing
better for the pupils who attend them
unless they are able to go to dis
tant part of their own state or to an
other. The high school provides an
easily accessible means of further ad
vancement and compared with the
cost the advantage is great.
Heretofore Flathead county hal
never held back in lending encourage
ment to every proposition for the i'm
provement of local educational facil
tiles, and it is confidently expecte,
that the result of the bond election to
morrow will be another victory TO
educational advancement.
