to the sedative action on the money

The cashier of one of the largess
New York city banks says: "The

taken pains to make Inquiries
among bankers and business men in
the interior, and find the sentiment
forming that the government should
let up on its attacks, and that Roose-

trouble and not accomplishing any

could not be accomplished in a quiet
way. Let the government once un-
derstand that this desire for peace
Is popular among the best people,
and It will change its methods, and
relieve the business world from the
barbaric warfare against prosperity

These attacks, coming at a time

ency, and when the minds of many
nave been disturbed through recent
disclosures, have had, and are hav-

resulted in good deal of hasty leg

OF more hostile measures, has ac-
centuated the fall In the prices of Sc

cent holders of small means have

Shippers and people generally
are certainly justified in insisting on

A Profitable Line.

The Salem and Mehama line Is
well known to be one of the invit-
ing prospective enterprises in the
state. The line to Eugene is a spec
ulatiVe proposition, that will be
more difficult to finance and Will
take years to make profitable. Hence
the Salem and Mehama line should
not be made subordinate branch of
the larger project. Examine few
figures and satisfy yourself. The
Oregon electric from Portland 20
Salem would have so miles OF line,
approximately 100000 people at
each end and along the line, or 5000
people to the mile. The Salem aud
Eugene line, which is not backed by
the Oregon electric, would have only
about 500 people to the mile, and
the Salem and Mehama line would
have at least 1000 people to the
mile of line, and state institutions,
and the summer resort region of the
santiam country, and no competi-
uon. The Salem and Mehama line
can be made to pay from the day 10
miles OF 1t are in operation, and
should not be branch.
Hotair Franchises.
With the finest prospect of busl-
ness that was ever offered an electric
line, there is no reason why the peo-
pie OF Salem and Mehama, Stayton
and Aumsville and Turner should
not offer all the inducements pos
slble to secure the construction of
the line. But they should grant no
hotair, b'anket franchises, merely to |
be auctioned of, or be used as a |
club to get concessions out of Har-
system. The town of Stay
ton has granted no franchise until
the people are satisfied they are go
Ing to get tangible results. The city
ot Albany is going slow about hand
ng out purely negotiable franchise,
without any bond for construction
That city will probably do as Salem
I'D with the Eugene line, ask a good,
substantial bond that work shall
commence in six months and that
he franchise be void unlesss it is
lcted upon in good faith. The Sc
uring OF hotair franchises merely to
lie up a situation has been a curse to
his country, and wise city govern
nents will avoid a repetition of such
