East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-06

The fight at the organization of the
legislature next Monday promises to
be interesting in the extreme and the
forces of the various candidates are
now fairly we'll defined.
Reviewing the situation from an
independent and impartial standpoint,
the oregon Daily Journal of last eve
ming says:
The organization of the Legislature
is ,occasioning one of the keenest po-
litical fights that oregon has wit
messed in recent years.
Senator Kuykendall and Senator
Carter, the rival candidates for pres
ident of the upper house, both pro-
fess to be absolutely confident of
election.
A. l.. Mills and T. b. Kay. the lead
ing candidates for the speakership,
are running about neck and neck.
while w. /. Vawter. the third man in
the race, processes to believe that the
honor must eventually fall to him
self.
In the contest over the presidency
drawn between the machine and the
anti-machine forces. Kuykendall has
the backing of every vote which the
republican organization can throw to
him. At the present time he is ap-
parently on the defensive, for Carter
is CARRYING the fight to him and is
making an exceedingly aggressive
campaign. Both refuse to make any
statement of their strength and con-
tent themselves with predictions OF
victory.
Brownslrs Attitude Doubtful.
The rumor grows most persistent
as the time for Joining battle APP
proaches. that George c. Brownell
may refuse to align himself with the
Kuykendall forces. His detection
would be serious, for without him
the man from Lane cannot count,
at most, upon more than IL votes.
Ii is notorious that Brownell has
never been at heart a Kuykendall
man, and that he was exceedingly
dissatisfied when compelled by SEN
ator Mitchell and Senator Fulton to
withdraw from the race, as he had
himself expected to preside over the
next senate.
1t is highly probable, however, that
there will be no election of either
president of the senate or speaker on
the first ballot. In the upper house
the number of doubtful" senators
makes It probable that enough OF
them will cast blank ballots when the
voting In caucus begins to prevent
either Carter or KuSkendah from
getting the 13 votes necessary to
elect. ..r
Three Seek Speakership-
In the house there will be three
candidates. and from present appear
ances Vawter will hold the balance
of power on the initial ballots al
least.
KAY confidently expects that Vaw'
ter will eventually come TO his stand
ard, but the rumor is persistent tha'
Vawter will make an alliance with
Mills.
1t seems certain that Kay Will nei
have votes enough to nominate him
on the first ballot He has peer
claiming 2S votes, but this is appar'
emily an over-sanguine estimate
shook. of Grant, Cook. klamath ano
Lake, will probably line up with Vaw'
ter. although hitherto accounted a
Kay supporter. On the other hand
his colleague, Steiner, gave Kay posi-
tive assurance this morning that he
would vote for the Marion county
man, whatever Shook might do.
Some serious inroads are said tt
have been made upon Kay's strength
Vawter claims that he now has a.
least 10 and probably IL votes, bu

was referred the bill appropriate

Federal building at Little Rock.
The full committee meets to-
morrow and hope is entertained
that it will retain the limit. The
sum does not fall within the re-
commentator Of Secretary Shaw,
who asked Of Congress h a t
appropriations be made for build
ings for which sites have been
purchased and for the completion
of unfinished structures.

That we must do more business in 1905 than we
did in 1904. TO do this we know that we are
going to have to make especial effort; as 1904 was
unusual prosperous year for everybody and
business was by far the largest in our history.
Ever since we have been in business, our business
has always increased over the precedingty year,
must not fail to have it so in 1905. With this
end in view we are always going to offer better
goods for the same price or the same goods for
less price.
During our large business of last year, if from
any cause of any kind any customer is dissatisfied
must say that it is not our desire to have it so
and they will greatly obge us to let us rectfy it.

The Debts of the World. .

The Japanese war has added another heavy load to the already staggering burden of debt borne by the nations of the world. According to the latest statistics compiled by the bu- reau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor, the total national debt of the world is $34.633, 164, ,406, and the annual interest charges amount to s1,417,532.2 .295. Such a sum as that which represents the combined debt is almost too vast for comprehension. It is more than four and one third times the annual revenues of all nations, and nearly five times the annual expendi- lures, for it is a noteworthy fact that the expenditures of the world exceed its revenues by about SSO,OOO,OOO a year.
 The luxury of big national debts seems to have come in with the nine

that the Yaquis own the valley Con- | sessions covering their possessions
 have been granted to Americans as well as Mexicans, and the policy has been to ignore the alleged ownership of the land by the Indians. It is the age-iong fight of the aborigine for his home. Treaties of peace have been made on one or two occasions. but the Yaquis claim that the treaties have been violated each time by the Mexi- can authorities. It Is doubtful If they would entertain suggestions of another treaty.
 The rebellion can be suppressed only by a well organized military campaign, and to achieve success the government will be forced to conduct the war on a comprehensive scale.
 Meanwhile. mining operations south of HermOsillo will be practically at a stand still. American interests will suffer, for large investments have been made there by capital from Arizona and the eastern states. It is an appre- citation of this fact which has led the Yaquis to make war on the Americans They hold to the foolish belief that by making conditions intolerable the American government will intervene and wrest Sonora from Mexican con- troL It is evident that for awhile, at least, all Americans should stay away from the southern part of Sonora.

tcenth century. The most trustworthy | estimates show that in 1793, at the be- ginning of the Napoleonic wars, the aggregate debt of the world was $2,- OO,OOO,O ,OOO. From that year until 1S4S
 the increase was to $8.5OO, 100000 or an average of about $1OO.OOOO a year.
 The Napoleonic wars which drenChed all Europe with blood occupied fifteen years of this time and were responsible for much of the increase in indebted ness.
 It was in 1S4S that the republican idea swept all Europe, and with that year began the rapid increase in debt
 contracting that has finally placed the world so deep in the mire that it prob
 ably will never be able to extricate it. self. From eight and one-half billions to thirty-four and one-half billions is the jump, and the annual rate of in- crease was $425, ,OOO, 900. Such debts were unknown in the old days of abso- Iutism. and it is likely that if Louis XIV or his immediate successor had attempted to saddle France with such a financial load as it now carries the people would have risen in revolt long before they did. But now that they are responsible for their own burdens it does not matter.
 The French debt. amounting to S5.- S56,7O6, ,4O3, is the greatest in the world so great that it's payment at any time is regarded as an impossibility. The annual interest per capita is now $6.28. Next comes Great Britain with a debt of s3. .S85, OOO,OOO, while Russia is a close third with obligations amounting to $3,414,OOC,3OO. The debt Of the German empire is comparatively sman-s699.- 000,OOO-but the German states have a combined debt of $2,688OOO,OOO. Of the great powers the United States has the smallest debt of all-S925, 5,O11.637-be- ing exceeded in the extent of it's Obli- gations by Australia. Austro- Hungary. Hungary, India, Italy and Spain, be- sides the other nations previously men toned
 The burden of militarism is chiefly responsible for all this increase in in debtedness, and as there is little pros pect of universal disarmament it is not easy to see how. the weight of obliga- tion is to be lifted. National bank ruptcy seems to be the eventual fate of some of the European powers which are accounted the strongest.
