The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-11-28

One OF the immense and living
issues Of the day, and of the years to
come, is the opening of the great
Columbia Valley to the commerce
Of the world by way Of its own glor-
ious river. We intend to take but
one ground in the premise, and that
is, for the creation, and endless
maintenance, Of deep commercial
channel from the sea-hnes of the
Columbia bar to the uttermost in.
land reach of the great stream. To
US, this is the only policy that can
rebound to the greatest good of the
greatest number within the sphere
OF the development that is sought
and which must come inevitably.
Naturally, we believe it is primar-
lily essential to get the ships within
the river, and that therefore the bar
is the first and supreme element Of
consideration and effort. For a 100
foot channel from here to the Snake
would be Of mighty little avail if the
sea-barrier met it with paltry 80
feet. With 40 or 50 feet on the bar,
maintained steadily by jetty and
dredge there would follow a cam
paign for those depths in the river
from a thousand points in the huge
territory to be served.
Nor do we believe that the State
of Oregon, the Port Of Portland, nor
any other great local agency should
bear the brunt Of the effort and cost
Of opening and expanding this ma
tional artery. 1t may need the sharp
lesson of Pacific war to warn and
warm the government Of the United
States in this behalf; and grateful as
we are for what millions have been
expended by Uncle Sam on the jet
ties and the upper-river, we insist
that he has but begun the system Of
practical and devoted interest that
the project demands at his hands as
one Of the primest Of the prime
things he is fathering.

YOUR SAY, Mr.. TAXPAYER.

We people, and newspapers, and
candidates. and partisans, and semi
political champions, and opponents,
may have good deal to say in rela-
ton to the coming city election, but.
at last, it is up to You. Mr.. Taxpayer,
to say who. and what, shall be put
into Office and administrative effect,
and none Of us may gainsay your
decision for az instant. You are the
ones to declare whether Astoria shall
stop al one million Of public indeb-
tedness, begin retrenching, and re-
vert to wholesome business methods
or whether she shall take on the
second million and proceed with the
ruinous program of non-essentials
and the blasting cost thereofl
There are enough Of you, the Lord
knows, to "take the bit in your
mouth" and qualify the entire situa-
ton; save yourselves from farther
involvement and financial stress,
quite irrespective of party lines and
party prejudiees and the game is
yours either way you desire to play
Il. As your agents and representa-
tives and friends, the above-named
string Of interIopers, and advocates,
are doing what they think is best for
you, but you know your own busi-
ness best; and if you think the City
Of Astoria and you who pay her
bills, can stand for few years more
Of trimming down on realty values
and another million or two Of public
charges without enhancing the COM
mercial and industrial up-lift Of the
place, why, II is up to you to give
impulse and sanction to the scheme,
OF course, we boosters are doing
the regulation stunt of advising
and posting you and keeping you in
touch with the sentiment of the
hour, but you responsible, paying
people, do not have to listen to US
You have the property right in your
own hands; it is yours to govern
as you please, to save or swamp OF

ture Of debt and interest, no matter
what we think about it. Yes, Mr.

HAS JURISDICTION
OVER NAVAL STATION

The Supreme Court yesterday, in a
decision written by Justice Wilder, de-
cided that the Territorial courts have
jurisdiction of crimes and misde-
meanors committed on the grounds of
the Naval Station. The issue was
raised in the proceedings against Lieu
tenant Commander James f. Carter,
who, while stationed here, was arrest
ed and charged with assault and bat
terry on F. B. Moore, and was fined $25
by Judge Andrade in the police court.
He appealed on the ground that the
Territorial courts had no jurisdiction of
offenses committed there.
The court held that this land was
reserved for naval purposes before the
Organic Act was passed and therefore
the section of the Organic Act relied
on by the defendant had no applica-
ton. But the court goes farther and
saws that even if it had been reserved
afterwards, the section would have had
no application, as it does not refer to
jurisdiction, and the jurisdiction of the
Territorial courts was elsewhere in the
Organic Act abundaRtly provided for.
1t is now probable that the proceed
ing in the United States District Court
against Carter, which was yesterday
continued for week, will be dismiss
ed, as it was brought in order to secure
a trial of the issues of the case should
it be held that the Territorial court
has no jurisdiction.
