vanced, and partially endorsed by some
of the state press, no town would be
entitled 10 more than one representative
regardless of the size OF is population,
In case Of those towns large enough
10 entitlc II 70 Representatives, That
representative would not be based on
population, but on the township.
Whereas with the small towns, u Is
proposed to combine enough Of them TO
bring the number Of people up to what
would be basis for one representative.
In this case the representation would
be based on population alone. The re-
suit Of this would be that part Of the
representation in the state would be
based on the town and part on the pops
ulation.
IL Is clcary evident that II it il nee
essary to establish o certain number Of
people as a basis for representation for
the small towns, il Is equally AZ neces-
sary that certain multipiies Of that num-
Der OF population should entitle the
larger towns 70 additional representa-
tiyes il the question Of principle is to
be considered
The plan Of allowing no town more
than one representative is purely q
makeshift and slap thrown 70 the
small towns to appease them for their
loss
II the principle Of the present method
OF representation Is wrong the princi-
Pile of allowing no town more than one
representative regardless Of its popula.
ton is certainly wrong, 1t is only a
question Of degree
II change must be made, a unit Of
population must be adopted as abasis,
and each county be entitled to SO many
as that basis would
allow under certain conditions. Water

SOMETHING DOING

The extraordinary zest in timber

iceable in this section of the country
lately, indicates that there is to be
something doing in the huge timber

near future. Some of the great con-
Germs owning the vast reaches OF vir-
gin forest back Of this city and river
have had a tip from some authentic
source, and are getting the prelimin-
aries out Of the way for solid and
sound improvement Of their proper

tiles that are indispensable. Between
the railroads and the timber people,

THE HELPLESS CONSUMER


II the ordinary citizen desires to
know pretty accurately his real status
in this land where he is supposed to
be the whole thing. let him pay par
ticuIar attention to the rates, esh-
mates, debates. and results Of the
tariff legislation now underway. 1t
viii be lesson worth his study,
though It viii leave him quite as help
less as ever he was.
He viii find that no man in the
Congress pleads his cause; Senator
and Representative are charged with
other obligations than any to him;
they are serving other masters for
the most part, and the consumer,
otherwise the citizen, Is the last to
receive any consideration there. He
Is the victim, not the beneficiary, Of
the tariff, no matter who frames it
nor how 1t is framed. Already he is
paying s per cents more for the COM
mon commodity OF tea, and the tariff
ball has not even begun to roll
We are 50 big so scattered, 50 un-
knit, so needless, and inept, we can
not rally to our own security in mo-
ments Of this kind; and our faith is
50 sodden in what we are pleased to
call representative government" that
We are blindly indifferent to its re-
suits so far as we are concerned, how
ever we may scoff and rave at the
ultimate success Of the banded inter-
ests that are served.
The farce is SO gigantic that it par
alyzes protest.
There is nothing in the vast cata-
log OF civic operations to convict the
masses Of their negligible attitude in

THAT BAR DREDGE.

comfort in answer to our inquiries
about the dredger Chinook and the
date we may expect to see her at
work on the Columbia bar though
he intimates that the appropriation
will be available as soon as the Chin
ook Is.
After $4,000 had been spent on
this hne and serviceable craft to re-
pair her boilers and supply other
mechanical aids, at San Francisco,
she was brought north and berthed
at Portland, and for four long use
less years. she has laid there; idle,
rotting, and the $35,O0O worth Of i'm
proyement rendered futile and barren,
and today another 100000 is prob
ably necessary TO make her Of any
service whatever. Surely the United
States Government is ruiuously reck-
less Of its nest utilities, scandalous-
" Indifferent to graft, hopelessly
immune to the rules Of business that

ONE CENT POSTAGE.

Now there is movement on foot
to give us a postal rate OF one cent
per ounce on our letters within the
home domain. This will help some.
There would seem to be nothing quite
50 free from objection as this; no
trust is interfered with; no man nor
firm nor company, corporate, or
otherwise, win lose by the reduction
it is simply matter Of Governmental
interest; ii will be a universal conees-
sion, if only Uncle Sam can run this
particular department with the abated
revenue.
Ii has been talked of for many
years, but always failed because the
postal authorities declared they could
not maintain the service upon any
such rate. Other countries do it,
have done it for long time; but few
of them had to face such extraordin-
ary distances in despatching their
mails as we have. But all the same
we would like to see it tried out. The
people are entitled to every possible
concession that can be made them,
and this is one Of the expected things.

siege the Government to permit the

Chinook is ready for service, There
is no use in frittering away the whole
