The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1906-04-30
THE ASTORIA SEASON.

Astoria's day is at hand. Superb
weather, the mitigation Of the cloud and
chill of winter, the fitting first tour
lists, the Sundey excursions from the
metropolis. the gathering activity of the
summer enterprises of all kinds, indicate
the approach and fulfllment Of the As
toria season. Let it come. The city and
her people are ready to make good in
all ways, to give her best and heartiest
greeting to everyone; to be receptive in
all ways, and to maintain her name and
fame as the cleverest, best-natured, and
most reasonable watering -place-popula-
lation on the Pacific coast. 1t is up to
us, and if we can't pass it to the limit
of universal appreciation, why don't
come to see us next year, that's all!

THE RECENT CHANGE
AT DELAWARE COLLEGE
Dover Index

Dover Index.
We are not informed as TO all the
facts relative 10 the radical changes in
the Experiment Station Of Delaware
by the Trustees of Delaware College
at the annual meeting June 10Th. A
perusal, however, of the requests made
by the agriculturists of this State
through its organization seems to be
very mild and respectfully put, and
we cannot imagine upon what ground
these requests should be refused as
the only practical benefit this State
has ever received from this so-called
agricultural college, and on which is
expended approximately 500, 600 for
buildings, is from the experimental
work. This has been, as we know,
we'll conducted, both by the director
and his able assistants upon the staff,
and their work has been very material
in crop productions, and, conse-
quently, advancement of land values
in this State. In the vote by which
the man who has been close TO these
people and has aided and assisted them
at all times was deposed, would indi-
cate that there was somewhat of q
disregard for the strict agricultural
interests, ms has been intlmated by the
/ 4
that the five members of that board
who, no one will dispute, are in the
best position to judge the agricultural
conditions, voted and fought TO pre-
vent any disorganization of this de-
partment, while the other q members,
most of whom are members Of the legal
profession OF the medical fraternity,
voted solidly 20 refuse this request and
for disorgan of this experiment
station, cannot but make an array of
classes which at all times is incompat-
able with the true spirit Of a Republi-
can form Of government and is the
cradle in which the spirit Of revolu-
tion is rocked.
Analyze the situation in any way
that you will, the fact still remains
that this institution, established and
| supported for the benefit and interests
/ Of agriculture and its advancement,
shows utter disregard for the wishes
of the men who are practically engaged
| in that business with every dollar in
vested therein and dependent upon
| their skill for the sustenance Of their
| family and the payment Of taxes tC
their government. They should be
listened 20 much more attentively than
any one whose business places him
completely out of touch with the true
condition OF things. We hope, for the
sake OF the institution and for the
sake of the cause that it was intended
TO promote, that the members Of the
bar and the doctors who compose the
majority of the board have some good
reason that can be promptly explained
TO the satisfaction Of the people fol
the drastic mesures they haves staken in
| removing "a man who was in close
touch with all Of the agricultural
interests, and placing in his stead q
gentleman from the hills Of Vermont,
where the agricultural conditionsFart
| entirely different from ours.

Ia RemovaI of pr. NeaIe.

Mr.. James T. Shallcross, a member Of
the State Board OF Education and sue
ccsslul farmer OF New Castle county, in
an interview with a correspondent of the
Sunday Star expresses himself very posi-
lively upon the removal of DR.. A. T.
Neale from the directorship Of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station by the
trustees of Delaware College. II may
be wrong in my surmise,' Mr.. Shallcross
is quoted as saying, "but ! cannot sec
for the life of me how a man from Yer
mont, educated and proficient though
he may be, can come TO Delaware, where
soil and crop conditions are diametrically
opposite, and take the place of man
who knows practically every large farm
in the State of Delaware, from Brandy
wine to Baltimore and its peculiar soil
conditions. Dr. Neale has been an active
director going about every hundred of
the State as well as attending TO his
duties at the Experiment Station. He
knows what TO tell each peculiarly situ-
ated farmer about what to do TO raise
better wheat and better peaches. There
was never a meeting called anywhere in
the State at which Dr. Neale was invited
10 be present but what he would be on
hand, even though only twenty farmers
might appear"
We feel safe in saying that Mr. Shall
cross speaks the minds Of the great bulk
of the farmers of Delaware. The atti-
tude of the State and local oranges has
already been made manifest, and unless
il can be shown to the contrary, this
sentiment favorable to DR.. Neale, and
in hearty Endorsement of his admirable
work as director Of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, is the deliberate iudg-
ment of those of our people who have
the greatest and most practical concern
in the work of this branch of Delaware
College
The trustees Of the college, therefore
in removing Dr. Neale and putting in his
place a stranger and an untried man, SC
far as the knowledge of our people is
concerned, stand in the attitude OF having
done an incomprehensible thing, which
threatens injury to the farming interests
of this State. Maniiestiy, il is incum-
bent upon them either to give gooc
reasons for their surprising action, ol
stand convicted as charged.

lIlernl snlnrv pnvments.

good point is made by Democratic
Glasses in the Sunday Star in relation
to the action Of State Treasurer Rawlins
in ,etoing the SALARY grab by which
members of the Legislature sought to
give themselves pay for thirteen days
services at the recent special session,
whereas they were in actual session only
five days. The point is that the Legis-
lature, at its regular session, while in
actual session only forty-fve days, paid
itself for the limit Of sixty days allowed
by the Constitution, and no objection
was raised by the treasurer at this impose
ton, which amounted to about $4,000.
Similar impostions at previous sessions
of the Legislature held since the adoption
OF the New Castle Constitution are also
pointed out
But while this point is well taken, 1rea-
surer Rawlins is to be commended for
taking this stand in relation 10 the at
tempted "salary grab" Of the special
session. He has established a precedent
which may well govern the future Here
after we may expect the pay of members
Of the Legislature 10 be restricted to the
days Of actual session, as it should be.
Thus, a saving to the State to a very con-
siderable extent may result from the
small saving at the special session.

YES, THEY ARE ALL ALIKE.
Lewes Pilot

LeWes Pilot
Are they all alike ? Those Demo-
cratic members Of the Legislature who
voted for a salary grab put themselves
in worse position than the Republicans
The Republicans were simply carry
ing out a corrupt deal, and their actions
openly avowed il. The Democrats on
the other hand had assumed the i'm
pregnable position that the extraor-
binary session and the expense involved
were without excuse and an imposition
upon the people Of the State. Some Of
the wisest Of their leaders had advised
them TO retain this position and to keep
their hands of. Had they done so their
position before the people today would
have been an enviable one. But the in
fernal spirit Of graft was too much for
them. The opportunity to make a few
filthy dollars that they had not earned
was too fascinating to be resisted, and so
these Democrats have placed their party
in a position of being loud in its de-
nunciations Of Republican villainies, but
when put TO the test, has shown itself to
be no better than the other fellows. God

Good Municipal Government.


Municipal government in Texas, under
law which has been in operation less
than two years, is conducted by COM
mission in each city, composed Of five
mon, upon whom devolve the entire
functions of city government. Calves
ton found the new system admirable, and
Houston makes a similar report. In
the latter city the results are thus sum-
married. by the Houston Post; "After
a year in office, the commission paid OFF
an old and annoying floating debt Of
100000 without issuing bonds; ample
school facilities have been provided
for the first time in years; systematic
street cleaning has been undertaken;
graft in the purchase OF city supplies has
been cut off, and a worker who gets a
dollar from the city earns il; it has been
voted to purchase for the city tho water
works; a vigorous and systematic paving
policy has been adopted; provision has
been made for a gradual retirement of
outstanding city bonds; and, with all of
these achievements, the tax rate has been
reduced from 81 on a hundred to Sl.oO
on a hundred"
Notwithstanding these gratifying re-
suits. we take il that few communities
will look favorably upon q system Of
municipal government that dispenses
with mayors and City Councils and places
the entire responsibility in the hands Of
five men. And yet the very compact
ness of such a body is an element favor
able TO systematic and effective work.
Il is probable, however. that the good
results of this Texas system" are not
so much due TO the system as to the fact
that good men only have thus far had a
hand in its administration That such
q system affords unequaled facilities for
extravaganza and corruption is not open
Co question The credit for the good
results therefore, cannot be laid to the
system.
No system win prove good without
good men to administer il. Good mer
may bring good results out Of almost an,
kind of system Herein is the key tC
satisfactory municipal government.

altruism TO hate the idea of having the
era of large giving brought to an
untimely end, for other institutions as
well as his own. Undoubtedly, the
Presidents utterances will have done
more to stop the making of large gifts
to all sorts of philanthropic objects
than the threats of a hundred Johann
Mosts; but the present attitude of
wounded spirit on the part of the
wealthy will pass away when saner
conditions prevail. Chancellor Day,
perhaps, knows something Of the large

sented the Presidents speech in hot,
