A GROWING EVIL.

Astoria is what is called ian open
town" That is, that certain vices are
allowed to exist by sufferance Of the
officers whose duty it is to enforce the
laws. The excuse for this condition of
affairs, is that the prohibition conces-
sions pay revenue to the city and
thereby contribute toward the support
of the government. This is certainly a
fimsy pretext All stores and occu-
pations, except saloons are compelled
to close their places of business on
Sunday. There are vaudeville shows
that seemed to be exempt from the
provisions Of the laws by sufferance of
the authorities. II there is any one
class of business whose doors should
be closed on Sunday, 1t is the vaude-
Vile shows. Yet, they run a theater
both afternoon and evening on Sunday
and no attempt is made to enforce the
laws. Aside from the legal aspect of
the case, there is a moral side to be
tOUSlucESu. "A NduutNllle tHedltT may
fill long felt want during the week,
but the proprietors ought to have suffi-
cient respect for the community to re-
spect the laws Of the state.
Some time ago, an ordinance was
introduced in the common council rails
ing the license from S25 a quarter to
$50 a quarter. This ordinance was
withdrawn. Not that it was a good
measure, but certain element thought
It was aimed at the cheap amusement
shows. AS the ordinance now stands,
these theaters only pay 25 cents a
night as license This is not COM
mensurate with the profits and benefits
accruing to the managers. An ordi-
nance should be passed requiring them
to pay at least one dollar q night for
their theaters, and prohibiting the

RESTRICTIONS NECESSARY.

The Standard oil Company has
purchased another lot at the foot of
Sixth street. stensibly for the pur-
pose of erecting oil storage tanks there
on. This question is one that should
receive the careful consideration OF the
common council. 1t is well known
fact. that oil storage plants are men,
ace to the property of others. They
are one Of the most dangerous ele-
ments in case OF fire. and their restrfc-
tion is absolutely necessary. The
people of Astoria are familiar with the
controversy in Portland over the
Standard oil Company's plant. which
was the cause of an extensive confia-
grafton at which thousands of dollars
worth of property was destroyed. So
strong was public sentiment against
the rebuilding of the tanks, that the
common council was compelled to pass
an ordinance prohibiting the rebuild
ing OF the tanks.
The time has come in Astoria when
the common council should take cog
nizance of these facts. and prohibit the
erection Of coal oil and gasoline tanks
within the city limits. There is an
ordinance now in force that prohibits
the storage OF certain quantities OF oil
within the city limits, but this Is not
sufficient The tanks already there
are menace to property and ought to
have come within the purview OF the
ordinance regulating the storage of
combustibles.
Astoria has been very fortunate in
the matter Of fires. but the time win
come some day when a disastrous fire
will occur in the district where the
Standard Oil Company's plant is To-
Gated. and thousands Of dollars worth
of property will be destroyed. The
company's plant is located in the CEN
ter OF the salmon canning industry
and a fire will do incalculable damage.
The common council should take cog
nizanee Of these facts and pass an
ordinance prohibiting the erection Of
any more oil tanks within the city linn
Its. Such an ordinance is an absolute
necessity for the protection Of prop
erty. Once the Standard Oil Company
gets foothold. 1t will be a difficult
matter to dislodge 1t. The time to
consider this question is now, and not
to wait until their engines of destruc-
tion have been erected. A nounce of
prevention is worth a pound Of cure,
is an adage applicable to this ques-
tion. That the Standard Oil Company
has purchased this property for the
purpose of erecting oil tanks is certain
and the time to act is before 1t has
gone to the expense of erecting it's
tanks. The safety Of the community
and the protection Of adjoining prop
erty demands speedy enactment of an
ordinance prohibiting the erection of
storage oil plants within the city linn
its. The council is bound to protect
property and the duty is particularly
enjoined upon the council to see that
the rights Of the citizens are protected.

hungry he keeps very quiet in some
favored spot, and his quick eye notes
the track Of the insect for a moment

at last, when one appears that is

lopening Of the doors ON Sunday
Iwhile a vaudeville theater affords a
Iplace OF amusement for certain class
of people yet they are no benefit to
the city, They demand and are ae-
Icorded police and tire protection, but
are unwilling to pay their proportion
ate share for Il.
Another matter to be taken into con-
sideratton is. that these institutions
while their receipts are large. the bulk
OF Il goes out the city. They are not
assessed for state or county taxes. and
are no direct benefit to the community.
The common council need an increased
revenue to meet the wants and require
ments Of a growing city, and these
revenues must be derived from tax
alton and licenses. There Is no reason
why the license of all vaudeville, or
second class theaters should not be
raised to at least $50 month, and
even with this revenue there will be
deficit on the debit side OF the ledger.

' TO HELP CIVIC LEAGUE.
Persons Said to be Insincere Start a Movement.


 Papers in the shape of formal agree ments purporting to be in the interest of the proposed Civic League of Mont gomery have been circulated throughout the city for several days, binding the signers to aid in a rigid enforcement of the Sunday laws.
 It is understood that these agreements arc not authorized by the Civic League but are intended to render the enforce ment of the Sunday laws obnoxious
 It is further understood that the agreements are circulated by friends of Sunday baseball and their object is to prevent any person, firm or corporation from doing business of any kind on Sunday.
 It was said on the streets yesterday that the plan contemplated stopping the street car systems. the hack lines, the newspapers, fruit stands, soda water es- tablishments and boot blacks from doing business on the first day of the week.
 An effort was made to interview the person or persons standing sponsor for the movement, but such a person could not be found. It was said by friends of the movement that over 5000 citizens had signed the agreements. No person, how were, was willing to lend his name pub licly to an endorsement of the movement. The agreement is as follows:
 'The undersigned hereby agree to rem der the Civic League of Montgomery and the officers of the law all possible assist ance in enforcing the law relating to Sunday violations. our purpose being to prevent discrimination and to enforce the laws to the letter."
 Similar movements have been tried in other cities and have had short life.
