DER have grown worse in the last few
weeks. 1t is in the southern part OF
Mexico, however, that the president
mas learned Of intolerable conditions
AFFECTING Americans. There, the Ma
dero government, according to Wash
ington Information, is utterly unable
to cope with the situation and there
seems to be little prospect that the
situation will improve. The presi-
dent within the last few days has
communicated a demand that Presi-
dent Madero be more active In the
protection OF Americans. He Is hope
ful that this reminder. meant for the
ears of the Mexican president and the
Mexican foreign office as well, would
be fruitful of results in both south
ern and northern Mexico The situa-
ton south of the Mexican capital Is
regarded as particularly dangerous to
Americans because the revolutonists
there have much less fear of an
American invasion than their broth
crs in the north.
The only favorable plan for the
protection of Americans in the south,
Mr.. Taft has been told, would be to
send troops to some gulf port of
Mexico.
The trouble is in the interior. and
the landing of troops in a Mexican
port would mean intervention and
war. There is no such opportunity in
the south of Mexico TO display troop

| Chairman Hilles tonight issued a
formal statement declaring he has
found conservative business men to be
for the recollection OF Mr.. Taft be-
cause Of his record as an economical
chief executive. The statement,
which met the approval of President
Taft and Mr.. sheldon. follows:
Il find the conservative business
men look with favor on the candidacy
Of President Taft for recollection, be-
cause they know he has been con-
scientious and successful administra-
tor Of the finances OF the government.
The situation In the treasury with
which President Taft was confronted,
was very different from that which
confronted Mr.. Roosevelt when he be-
came the president. Mr.. Roosevelt In
1901 assumed charge OF government
whose ordinary disbursements for that
fiscal year were Sl71, 190,S57. The re-
ceipts for that year were $91 900. 900
In excess OF the disbursements.
The aggregate Of public expendi-
tnre Increased steadily for several
years under Mr.. Roosevelt. During
the last year of his administration the
total of the current operating ex-
renses had attained the unprecedent-
ed figare of s6G2.324,444, ana during
that year there was deficit OF $751;
900, 900. Thus. by ignoring opportun-
tiles for effecting economy, President
Roosevelt had permitted IA surplus OF
s 80, 600, 900 in 1909, to become a de-
ficit of s5S,000.000 in 1908, and dur
Ing that period the ordinary expenses
of the government had increased

STEAMBOAT LINE TO FRISCO.

James S. Gill, lumber merchant
of San Francisco, has been in To-
ledo and vicinity the past several
days trying..to put through a deal
whereby we will be given steamboat
connections direct with San Fran
cisco. A meeting of our citizens
was held at the city hall Tuesday
evening and the matter placed be-
fore them.
Mr.. Gill said that it was planned
to put ship of 500 tons on the
route. The boat he had secured
was the Minnie E. Kelton, 195 feet
long, would carry 10000 feet of
lumber, with draft Of 13 #.
eff you take stock with us, it will
be up to us to show you that it
will not only pay, but that it will
be better investment than any
other you could put money in.
The boat will cost about $4,000
when ready to go to sea, and you
people ought to have at least 10
per cent of the stock" The Kel-
ton was water logged off the coast
near Siletz bay about four years
ago. but is now hauling rock for
improvements on the Columbia.
Lewis Montgomery of the Oregon
Lumber and Construction company
was here and agreed to subscribe
$4,000 of the stock of this new
boat and others of our citizens SUBJ
scribed from $100 to $500 each,
raising about $1,000 at the meet
ing.
A committee was appointed Ito
look after the getting of subscrip-
tlons for this stock as Mr.. Gill
thought we should take $4,000
worth more in the county. Mr..
Gill, accompanied by A. T. Peter
son, went to Newpor Wednesday
evening and met with the CONNER
cial club at that place. Newport
people were favorably impressed
with the proposition and have ap-
pointed committees to go ahead
with the matter at that place.
The boat will be used to carry
lumber from this bay to San Fran
cisco and on the return trips will
bring merchandise and freight.
The boat would be used exclusively
between Yaquina bay and Frisco
making no other ports.
