Tho will give us square deal.
One way Brother Cook can prevent,
the assessor doubling the valuation
of his property every time he puts
on a new coat OF paint is 10 vote

good feature OF that law. Under
the present regime a man is fined
every time he makes an improve

rather fine the man who owns prop

Anent the Ferry Boat.

In view of the malicious aud
calumnious reports that have ap-
peared IN the Oregon Journal con-
cerning the ferry boat, feel CON
strained on my own behalf, and on
behalf OF my client, the ST. Johns
Transportation company, owner Of
the boat, To make true report of
the situation so far as the city is
interested.
About month ago, some OF the
merchants OF 81. Johns came to me
as secretary of the Commercial club
and complained that they were
unable 10 procure trade OF the
farmers on the west side OF the
river on account OF their having To
pay To cross the river and asked
me to bring before the club the
question OF the city purchasing the
ferry boat and having the county
operate II tree to the public. |
accordingly mailed notices to the
members of the club stating that
the question OF voting bonds for
the erection ot elty docks aud pur-
chasing the ferry, among other
things, would be considered at the
next meeting aud urged a large
attendance, Al the next meeting,
the question was brought up by
one OF the members OF the club,
and II was the opinion of all mem
bers present that the city should
own the boat aud that il should be
operated free To the public, where
upon, by resolution, | was instruct .
cd to draft a petition to the city |
council, requesting II to solicit a
price from the owners OF the boat, /
and II satisfactory, To submit the /
TO the electors OF the
city in the April election. | draft
ed the petition according to instrue-
Iions, and was appointed by the
Chair To act as one OF the commit
Tee in circulating it for signatures,
which | declined, stating that |
was attorney for the ST. Johns
Transportation company, aud did
not desire to take any part in il, as
some one would be sure To say that
was looking after the interest OF
he Transportation company.
nave never asked single person
n ST. Johns to vote for the pur-
'hase of the boat, or in any way
advocated the purchase OF il by the
'ity, directly or indirectly, and |
I'm informed aud believe that not
,ne of the directors or stockholders
II the ST, Johns Transportation ,
company ever have.
When the first article came out
II the Journal, called at the office
II Geo. NJ. Trowbridge, city editor,
nd told him in justice to my client
thought he ought to get the facts
nd modify his statement. He {
sked me how much the owners Z
ctually paid for the boat. l told

the inferiority OF the boat and the
tactics Of Peterson Brothers q,
Smith aud myself In trying to
dump II on to the city than had
been previously reported. His
demeanor was such as to cause me
TO believe that he was really going

pay him a sum of money or have
the ST. Johns Transportation COM
pany take out an enormous adver-
tising contract with the Journal,
or he would let loose a report that
would ruin all Of US forever, but
he was not quite so coarse as an

morning very early. Il. l.. Merges.

to his Office. | told him l was
busy and il he wanted to see me
he would have to come to my
office. He then stated that he
understood the 81. Johns Transpor-
ia,ion company was trying to sell
the ferry boat, which his clients
participated in building; that the
newspapers had some damaging in-
formation and could block the sale
to the city, but il we would pay
him so93,IS, which is the amount
OF a fictitious claim for extras
Hirstel claims to have furnished
the boat, these reports would be
suppressed, otherwise they would
reach the public aud the sale would
surely be blocked. l informed him
that the St. Johns Transportation
company was making no effort to
sell the boat to the city and there
was no reason why we should be
into paying him any
thing-to give the Journal all the
Ieprosy dope that his mind could |
originate. He remarked; Then |

Calling attention To the commun-
ioation OF Brother Meiklejohn
would say that we most heartily
endorse his thought that it the pool
rooms, saloons, bowling alleys and
skating rinks are not good for our
boys and girls on Sunday they are
not good any day aud should he
shut up, and we think that is a
fact, as do all who have made il a
study and care at all for the vel
fare OF the young; but his reason
ing that IN this land OF liberty no
restrictions should be placed upon
such institutions is false logic.
Reasoning on the same line one
would say that We should make no
law against man leaving dead
carcass TO rot upon his own land,
to keep filthy quarters about his
premises IN the city, or to do hun
dreds OF other things which annoy
or injure his neighbor, because
1t would thus abridge his liberty to
do as he pleaScs with his own.
We have neither the time, space
nor inclination to enter into re-
ligious discussion as to the status
of the sabbath observation, nor do
we think any good would come of
il If we had, Convince mau
against his will and he is OF the
same opinion still. But when il
comes to laws regulating doubtful
or pernicious amusements we have
plenty OF room for a free discussion
OF these subjects.

Il. NJ. Parsons at the meeting of
the good government league last
week expressed the sentiment. we
think, ol every thoughtful laboring
man IN the city, lie said that he
was in favor of this dock at the
foot OF Philadelphia street. in fact
he wanted mile OF docks IN front
oi ST. Johns, lie said that the
city would not be worth a I'D
dime until We had the docks. lie
said also that he was one of the
poor men who was paying Tor his
home on the inslalment plan, but
the few dollars that these bonds
would add To his taxes would be
no burden 10 him. The fact is
that there will not be a lot in the
city that will not be enhanced IN
value many times the dollar OF two
OF taxes that will be added by the
bond. Every working man should
vote ior these bonds. because what
he may have Ia pay one or two
dollars more on his little home in
taxes the heavy property owner
will have To pay many times as
much, and will receive many times
as much benefit. II will stimulate
the transfer OF real estate by caus.
ing the heaviest holders to dispose
OF some OF their holdings at an
advanced price.
