SALEM
PUSH CLUB
ACTIVE
The Policy of Energy
and Activity
Already Showing Excellent
Results.
Great Developments are in
Sight

The rapid progress Salem is making
towards position of almost metropoli-
ten importance and the principal factor
therein we're plainly apparent at the
special meeting Of the Greater Salem
Commercial Club held on Wednesday
evening last. The hall Of meeting was
full to the doors; those in attendance
we're largely the most enterprisng and
substantial among the merchants to the
city, and the public spirit shown was
most gratifying to every well wisher Of
the Greater Salem that lie to be.
Among the matters considered was the
raising of a purse OF $1,000 for the
Greater Salem Stake for the Sta e Fair.
Mr.. N. j. Judah, the energetic secretary,
reported that by his own exertions he
had a large proportion OF the sum re-
quired and read letter from M. d.
Wisdom, Secretary of the State Board Of
Agriculture, asking that the Greater Sa-
lem Commercial Club guarantee the
amount required. This was done
with q rush and a cheer and many
of those present seized to opportunity to
20 on record for liberal subscriptions.
Another clause Of Mr.. Wisdom's letter
requested that the purse be called the
Lewis x Clark stakes. This was de-
INJURED to by many and it was decided
that the event should he known as the
Greater Salem Stake thus showing that
the city was sufficiently energetic ito
have its name associated with the larg.
est single purse offered at any race
meeting in the whole Northwest.
The Flax Industry.
Another gratifying communication
was read by Mr.. Judah. 1t was from
Mr.. Eugene Bose, of Green Bay, Wis,
who is to inaugurate the flax manuiac.
tory which is expected to prove such a
great acquisition to Salem. Mr.. Bosse
hopes to be in Salem by March ! with
his family and and all the machinery
needed for his business. His letter
also stated that he had purchased the
entire assets OF the Oregon Woman's
Flax Fibre Association, and that imme-
diately upon his return, he would pro-
Ceed to the manufacture OF the raw stock
on hand. For this season il is Mr..
BOSSES intention TO SOW only COM
paratiyely small acreage, as a positive
personal knowledge OF the climatic vari-
ations Of the locality is imperative
before the investment OF the 100000 or
thereabouts which would be necessary to
operate mill for the manufacture OF
linen.
The gist of the matter is that Salem is
now absolutely certain of at least one
more industry, which will distribute in
the course Of the year many thousand
dollars among the wage.earners and
farmers Of the city and vicinity.
Motor Line Dropped.
A question regarding the present
status of the Salem. Silverton motor line
project drew from Frank Derby the
statement that as the promoters eyinced
no anxiety to push the matter, an rs
the public also seemed apathetic, ia his
opinion the project should be dropped
for the present. This was agreed to.
The disposition Of the subscriptions al
ready received was then commented on
and after some discussion the matter
was left open until the next regular
meeting OF the club.

Mineral Arizona on Wheels,

There is newspaper authority,
worth unknown, for the story that
stock company is now being
foated in Arizona having in view
the advertising and exploitation of
the mineral resources of the terri
tory in a novel, attractive and
thorough manner. 1t is proposed
to build and equip two railroad
cars, each eighty feet in length,
and decorated in silver and gold to
represent the greatest and best
known Of the territorial minerals.
One will be combination dining,
sleeping and baggage car, with
small stable in the rear accom-
modating two Arizona burros.
At points of Importance the
"birds" will be saddled and packed
and a prospector in regulation cor
duroy and canvas "regimentals"
will tour the streets, accompanied
on either sidewalk by a distribu-
tor of Arizona literature.
In the forward car will be the
mineral exhibit, contained in a
plate glass show case occupying the
center, with an aisle on each side.
In this case will be artistically ar
ranged the ore specimens, fanked
by gold, silver and copper bars,
concentrates, matte and refined,
each being labeled with name, dis.
trict and value. That there will
be two Arizona men who are
familiar with the "business end" of
a gun on guard it is hardly neces-
sary to say. The interior panels
of each car will be decorated with
picturesque views Of Arizona seen
cry, of which there is none equal
in beauty and diversity save in
New Mexico, western Texas and
Mexico.
AS an advertisement Of the
Sunshine Kingdom" its beauties
and latent wealth, this will prove
most effective and will appeal to
a wider class of possible and pros.
pective investors than the car off

toured the north and east for sew

MFhE TAXATION.

For years the Arizona legisla-
tors have sought method Of
mine taxation that would be equit.
able. 1t is obsurd to say that a
well developed, producing mine is
worth no more than a non producer
simply because both happened to
be patented.
The State of Montana provides
a most excellent method for taxa
tion Of mining property which is
fair and equitable to all interesteds
The provision indicated requires
assessment of the surface ground
Of all patented mines to be at the
same rate per acre as the United
States government charges for the
ground, unless local considerations
(such as subdivision of the surface
into town lots) make it worth
more. The surface improvements,
machinery, etc, of all mines are
assessed as all other property is
assessed. Then upon the mine
itself there is provided a fair tax,
determinable by law, upon the net
output of the property. The con.
stitution leaves that part of it for
the legislature to adjust by enact.
ment.
Objections have been raised to
the Montana method because
large number of mining companies
never have any net output, al.
though their mines are rich and
heavy producer. The net output
is avoided by the companies max
ing all stockholder salaried officers,
thereby consuming all the profits
upon which taxes could be col
leeted.
In Wyoming the grass output is
taxed. 1t seems to us this would
be the fairer method, simply equal
izing the tax by taking into con-
sidoratiOn the difference in the
cost of procuring the mineral and
placing it upon the market, which
would naturally differ, according
to location, cost Of fuel, transpor-
tation, etc,

QUAY'S ADVICE,
Says Statehood Depends on Demo
cratic Victory.

In the remarks of Ben Heney of
Tombstone, says the Citizen, deliv-
cred in the republican convention,
q hint was given of what occurred
in the republican caucus, when he
SAID ave came here to select the
best man as our candidate for dele
gate to congress, but we have been
frightened. The fright has passed
away, as we do not believe in such
politics" The astutepolitician in
speaking Of being frighten-
ed, only echoed the inner
thoughts of every delegate in that
convention; his statement that it
had passed away was given out
only as guard to prevent dismay
being too apparent,
Yes, the republican delegates
were frightened, frightened over
the words of Senator NJ. S. Quay,
who had advised members of his
party in this territory that the
only hope of statehood for Arizona
was in maintaining political con
ditions in this territory the same
as they now exist,
Senator Quay is the most ardent
supporter Of statehood among the
republican members Of the senate;
he is true and tried republican,
one who has been the guide and
inspiration of the party in many a
contest. As the chairman of the
republican committee his loyalty
and devotion to his party carried
success to its cause; his words con-
vey more than advice, they bear
the stamp of command. And when
the caucus Of republican delegates
tO the territorial convention were
informed Of Mr., Quuy's opinion,
they realized the force and logic
his statements. The only thing
left was either to renounce state
hood or select as candidate one
whom defeat would NOT destroy,
and when Robert f Morrison was
dilating on the possibilities Of
statehood by elocting republican
delegate to congress, he was sim
ply killing time.
Arizona'S future, Arizona's pres
ent, is Of more importance to its
residents than the success of any
political party, and the organi2a
tion, party or individual, vino for
partisan success would stand in the
way Of our admission MS Il state, is
unworthy of the confidence or re-
spect o. our people. The real facts
are, the election Of republican
delegate to congress at this time,
will surely defeat the omnibus bill
intended to admit Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Arizona, as New MeXi-
co and Oklahoma are, and have
been for years undoubtedly repub-
lican. Let Arizona elect a repubIi-
can delegate to congress; thus
making each of the three territor-
les republican, and every demo.
crat who, in the past, has aided the
omnibus bill, will at once see the
error of his way, and become luke
warm if not an active opponent Of
the measure
The hope for statehood will be
shrouded in gloom for generation
to come, should the ensuing elec.
ton in this territory result in a
republican victory. The knowl,
edge of the above, coming from
the old Keystone state, has indeed
frightened republicans. 1t has
made them pause AID count the
cost Of delay; it has done more; it
has placed the material advance
ment of every interest, every in
dustry and every home in the bal.
ance against the success of the re-
publican candidate for congress.
