Sneaker Cannon and Standard Oil

The Twentieth Century for Janu-
airy has an exceptionally strong pa
per on the Progressives in Congress.
by William Kittle. In this paper the
author shows how Speaker Cannon
failed in a determined fight for the
Standard Oil Interests:
ION April 18th, Speaker Cannon
and Mr.. Veerland of New York had
planned to pass without debate an
amendment to the tariff bill giving
the Standard Oil Company protec-
ton of 20 per cent. duty on crude
petroleum and it's products. But the
House in committee of the whole
biundered in the manner of present
ing the amendment. Mr.. Lenroot
eX-speaker of the Wisconsin assemb-
ly and a skillful parliamentarian, Was
in his place serving his first term as
an alert and uncOmpromising Pro-
gressive. He quickly called the at
tention of his colleague, Mr.. Cooper
of Wisconsin, to the blunder. Mr.
Cooper Immediately raised the point
of order in favor of another amend
ment which Mr.. Norris of Nebraska
had offered. The Norris amendment
made the duty one per cent. on crude
petroleum and it's products. Cannon
took the floor in defense of the Stan.
dard Oil Company and abused Mr.
Cooper. The chairman of the com
mittee of the whole arbitrarily ruled
the Norris amendment out of order
On appeal from the decision of the
chair, Cannonism for once was de-
feated and the duty on crude petrol
cum and it's products was reduced tt
one per cent.
"A few days later, Mr.. Payne
chairman of the committee on Ways
and Means, announced in the House
that he was authorized to report an
amendment placing petroleum and
all it's products on the free list The
Speaker rushed the amendment
through and it was adopted by vote

amendment and at once pointed out
that the words land it's products

the trick and public opinion sent
back to the House it's protest. Some

Commercial Facilities.

The warning of Judge Burke, 10

ful consideration on Grays Harbor'
Judge Burke spoke with a full know
ledge of the difficulties Seattle en-
countered in that line, and his ad-
vice. taken now may forward the
commercial importance of Grays Har-
Dor many years.
we have a case in point today in
Aberdeen. The Union Pacific ana
Milwaukee railroads are about 10 ell
ter the city, coming across the con-
tinent thrugh a territry entirely new
TO this region and as soon as they ask
for facilities to handle the expected
commerce, a protest goes up that II
will interfere with a few modest
homes.
This nrotest is fostered by the
fear that it will result in depreclat-
ing values on Hume street. But
such is far from the truth. The lots
on that street would be far more
valuable for manufacturing plants
and warehouses in three years than
if would be in ten for residence pur-
noses. The Herald firmly believes
that before the busiess of the rail-
roads amounts to enough to disturb
the residents, property on that street
will have advanced enough in value'
from it's present selling price
to give the owner prof.
it large enough to enable MIN
to build better home on high land
We cannot expect to build COM
mercial city and to retain residence
nroperty within a few blocks OF the
waterfront. The location will not
only be undesirable, but too valuable
Tor such use.

CITY With a General Manager

The new idea of city government
on business principles is clearly ca
pable of being incorporated in
great variety of systems. The Des
Moines or commission plan is the
same in no two places where it has
been adopted. There is no reason
why it should be slavishly copied.
Since the cities are escaping from the
notion that to preserve democratic
institutions local governments must
be modelled after the state and ma
tional legislatures. city which is
reforming it's charter may as well
consult its own special needs.
| One of the most interesting vari~
ations of the new method of city
government has appeared at Staun-
ton, West Virginia. It's originality
is chiefly due to provisions in the
state constitution which compel
every city of 10000 or more people
to maintain a mayor and a council
of. two branches Smaller cities may
dispense with one branch of the
council.
The city of Staunton wanted d
more efficient administration of its
public affairs that the old system
seemed able to give and got around
the constitutional obstacle in an in
genious way. The scheme consisted
in having the city council pass an
ordinance creating the office of gen.
eral manager and defining his du-
ties as follows:
The general manager shall devote
his entire time to the duties of his
office, and shall have entire charge
and control of all the executive work
of the city in its various depart
ments and have entire charge and
control of the heads of departments
and employees of the city. He shall
make all contracts for labor and sup
plies. and in general perform all of
the administrative and executive
work now performed by the several
standing committees of the council.
except the finance, ordinance and au-
diting committees. The general
manager shall discharge such other
duties as may from time to time be
required of him by the council.
1t is said that citizens of Staun-
ton are generally pleased with the
arrangement. Responsibility is CEN
centered in the general managers Of
flee, and the work of all the depart
ments has braced up noticeably.
Great economy is claimed for the sys-
TEN. Most of the public works are
now carried on by day labor. The
manager, who is practical engineer
keeps his eye on everything. AS he
makes all contracts for supplies, he
is really the city's purchasing
agent.-Spokane Spokesman-Review.

The treatment of the British steam

That Grab Franchise.

The franchise for county road PRIV
;,epes presented to the county COM
missioners by Boss Abel has been
published in the papers designated
nv the boss. and, like its predeces-
sor. it is fearfully and wonderfully
constructed. If this notice be wha'
II should, l. e. a copy of the origin
al document, it is rather a vide open
proposition. If it be not copy OF
the grant on file, how is the pubic
to know Just how to protest at the
hearing on February Fl:
Assuming that it covers the mod
est demand of the boss upon his COM
missioners, the only difference de-
cernible from the original "perpetu-
al franchise presented is a trl1-
fling play on words, with the solitary
execution, in that it takes the south
side of the Chehalis river between
Montesano and Aberdeen-a move
made necessary in order to dodge
the state highway commission, VINO

ishment of the boss as the commits
sioners appear to be.
No doubt, an understanding Is had
that will cause the bridge over the
Chehalis river at Montesano to be
built by the county for the use OF
the Interurban company. The entire
actions of this bunch justify such
suspicion.
It is observed that in the first par
agraph of this official notice, the
word "permenanty" occurs twice and
with evident generalization. 1t pur-
ports to convey the right Ito con-
struct and PERMANENTLY main

able paper goes on to include all
roads in the county, from It's eastern

them unimproved, and over which
one could not pass with pack mule.
