THE SHUBERT CLUB THE BOSS BACKS UP
CLARK REMOVES TAINT FROM
carnegie MONEY.
His Former Opinion on the Evil of
Receiving This Money Is Revised.
Now Says Carnegie Money Is Good
as ANY Other, But He Wants to
Delay Action,

The change of front by the Grays
Harbor Post on the Carnegie library
question came as quite surprise to
the readers of it's last issue. For the
past year that paper Mas pounded
upon the iniquity of accepting Ii
brary gift from Andrew Carnegie, al
leging that it was opposed to the
tenents of unionism to such an ex-
tent that union tradesmen would not
erect a building paid for with such
tainted" money. Last year, when
there was three jobs to the man, this
sort of talk went with such members
of unions as had no interest in the
upbuildfng of Aberdeen, or who ac-
cepted the statements of the Post
without question or investigation.
1t is different now, and that paper
realizes it's old position to be un-
tenable, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing from its last issue:
''The Post expects to show reasons
that will appeal to the business sense
of our people, why the Carnegie plan
is not the best for this city or any
other city. THIS OPPOSITION DOES
NOT ARISE BECAUSE THE MONEY
is CARNEGIE'S, but because we
would oppose acceptance of the mon
ey from any source under the same
restrictions"
Being forced to this act of side
stepping, the Post now bends its en-
ergies to delaying the building until
after the city elections next April,
by which time-should the city coun-
Gil act, or speedy special election
be called-the new structure might
be under roof, and a good share of
the $4,000 used to excellent advan-
tage by the builders.
That paper. in an effort to delay,
garbles the statutes in quoting part
of a section of the law in an act to
promote free public libraries, which
does not control in this case. Aber-
deem is not asking for library facil-
tiles. It already has them, the city
council having complied with the law
quoted several years ago. The only
question now before the city is the
acceptance of gift that will give us
fine library building for that H.
brary without entailing a dollar of
extra library cost to the city.
If the Post has good business rea-
sons for refusing a gift of $4,000
library building, from any source"
why does it delay giving them. It
has been fighting this proposition for
more than year and has not yet
come through with a reason that
would bear scrutiny, having until
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1907-12-30

now confined itself to the tainted"
money objection.
AS to the restrictions" the Post
Is as vague as in the case of the
business reasons" If there are any
objectional restrictions why does that
paper not print them? The Post
knows full we'll that Mr.. Carnegie
places absolutely no conditions upon
his gift further than the use of the
money for library building. The
entire correspondence was published
IN the Herald recently, which showed
that the resolution adopted by the
council last December was perfectly
satisfactory to Carnegie, and that
the money has been ready for an Abb
erdeen free library ever since. If the
Post could have found an objection
able restriction in that resolution it
would have published it long ago.
If the present council fears to set
tie this question, it might agree to be
governed by an expression of a ma
jority of the people including all
qualified electors at school election.
This would put it up to the friends
of the library to secure that express
sion. either by an informal election
or petition, AT ONCE, so as to get
the building under way.
If the matter is postponed until
the April elections, there will be no
need to place the question on the
ballot. Nine members of the coun-
Gil are to be elected; all candidates
will be asked to pledge themselves for
the library, so that the city library
would be the dominant issue of the
elections. This is far from desirable.
Important as the library may be, the
city has many other interests to be
served, interests that are not apt to
be benefited by the election of coun-
cilmen with the sole qualification of
favoring or opposing the library. Ex-
perience tells us that the submission
of such questions at general elections
Is unwise. This was seen last year
In the county seat removal contest.

WHEAT STATISTICS.

The wheat crop of the world has
! specifically doubled in the last thirty
years. The crop for 1875 was 1,S0O.-
10000 bushels. that Of 1905 s,500.000.-
600 bushels. Our own supply has av-
sernged with the rest about one-sixth
or the whole. In 1901, Al per cent of
our crop was sold abroad, in1s05 only
o per cent. Our exports depend up
ON two factors: the needs of the OUT
side world and the state of business
mt nome.
In 1866 and 81 most OF our crop
was exported because there were short
crops in all other countries, and at
ahe same time In the panic of '93 and
Tor four years afterwards, hundreds
hundreds OF thousands of our people
practically gave up eating wheaton
bread and fresh meat. A great ex-
port of wheat from our country, un-
der normal conditions abroad, means
hard times in the United States.

THE FARMER AND THE TROLLEY

The trolley line Is a new factor in
'dhe development of new communities.
And careful observations concerning
ats worth to the country through wnich
II passes are well worth the study of
~0ther communities where such lines
are building. For little more than
Z decade in the Mississippi valley states
! the trolley Ines with their interurban
connections have been in operation and
5 some definite results have been noted.
The benefits of the interurban line to
the farmer and the farming country
are well set out in an addres recent
aay delivered before a meeting of the
Ohio sramers by Mr. G. w Meeker and
published in recent number of the
Electric Traction Weekly.
Mr. Meeker sadd in part:
Statistics carefully gathered of the
diferent interurban railways that have
hsen constructed since 1890 have
shown that the interurban railways
have advanced the price OF real es-

The larger percentage, of course, Is
applied to real estate near large cen
tres OF population. To my personal
knowledge I know OF railways that
shave advanced the price of real estate
szfrom 25 to ESQ per cent, and cite
i'm ttflis instance the Columbus & West
eeryflie railway line which was built
IN s1Bol Within the limits Of the first
Tour miles of Columbus as far as Lin
den, farms that were selling at from
$3.50 to $3.50 per acre have advanced
