But this goose, differing from the lot,

the contract. Nobody who has stud.
led the subject believes that the esti.
mate of $4,000, or that more than
$4,000, will be required to build a
bridge good for the next twenty
years. We have it from an agent
of bascule bridges that a bridge of
that type, that will open and close in
seconds, thirty feet wide can be
placed there for less than $4,000,
and that when required similar
structure can be built alongside the
first one and so connected as to op-
crate as one structure, a plan that
could be adopted by placing the first
one on one side of the street.
The Herald is old fashioned enough
to believe that those in charge of
the city's affairs should take the
time to study all matters requiring
the expenditure of public money so
as to be able to act intelligently,
and this is just what the mayor-elect
and the councilmen referred to do
not appear to have done. To recind
this referendum in SUCH admitted ig-
norance of the facts and conditions
in the case would be an arbitrary
abuse of power and a deliberate in
suit to the citizenship OF Aberdeen.

WILL DISCUSS
BRIDGE BONDS
J. J. Carney Will Address
Meeting Of Civic Improve
ment Club and W.C.T.U.

The unsafe condition of the Heron
street bridge, as reported by Engi-
neer Lockwood and made public
through the Herald, has done much
to attract attention of the voters to
the opportunity afforded at the special
election to be held next Tuesday to
secure a modern bridge located at
the point recommended by every dis.
interested engineer who has studied
the Aberdeen bridge problem.
That the ladies' are interested is
shown by the fact that Jno. J. Car
ney, editor of the Herald, has ac-
cepted an invitation to address the
meeting of the Aberdeen Civic I'M
provement association tomorrow af
ternoon on the topic of the proposed
bond issue for the Wishkah street
bridge. Mr.. Carney will also address
the meeting of the Aberdeen w. c.
T. U. on the same sub
ject, on Friday afternoon. He here
by extends a cordial invitation to
any person opposing this bond is
sue to divide time on the platform
with him at those meetings Mayor.
elect France preferred.
The matter is of large Importance,
not to any particular locality. but to
the city at large and should be fairly
and calmly discussed in order that
the voters may act with intelligence
at the polls. So far no reasons for
opposing the proposition have been
made public, those opposing appear
ing to prefer to rely upon the apathy
Of the voters usually displayed in
special elections of this kind, but,
the Herald believes-and the belief
is founded upon a canvas of the
field-that this election will prove
an exception to the rule. The people
of Aberdeen are too tired of the eX-
pense and delays that have attend
ed the Heron street bridge for the
past two years not to seize this op-
portunity to end it, and give the
city an entrance from the east that
1t need not blush for every time an
automobile party from the Sound to
the beaches comes into Aberdeen.

E. A. McKenna of Aberdeen, who
will take the examination at Bremen

just as certainly be in command of
the division. He had experience dur

over the service and will make a
most creditable officer.

Hand to the Farmers of
Chehalis County
TO SERVE FREE BANQUET
Commercial Bodies Will Also
Attend "A Get To-
gether Meeting

The farmers of Chehalis county will
own Aberdeen next Saturday If the
plans of the Chamber of Commerce

will be. Every farmer in the county
has been invited to be the guest
of the Chamber, to partake of our
hospitality and hear c. l.. Smith, the

Washington Railway & Navigation
Co., who will lecture in the after
noon.
While the ccasion is chiefly to have
the farmers and business men of the
cities join in asking the county COM
missioners to engage a farm expert
it's object is also to promote better
understanding of the community of
interests that exists between the far
mers and those in the cities engaged
in merchantile and manufacturing pur-
suits, an undersl anding that will
bring all lines of endeavor together
for strong pull for the develop
ment of the richest county in the
state of Washington.
Free Banquet in Evening
Invitations have also been extend
ed to the commercial organizations
of the county and businessmen in Ia
coma, Seattle and Portland, who can
come on the first night train of the
O.-W. railway, which leaves Portland
and Puget Sound on Friday night.
A free banquet will be served the
guests at 1890 in the vacant store
rooms in Electric building. Prepera-
tions are being made for between 200
and 300 guests, and the committee
was at work yesterday receiving do
nations from the grocerymen and
provision dealers, and was meeting
with a cordial response.
The meeting to be addressed by
expert Smith will be held in the city
hall, commencing at p. m.

WHEN PLOW SUCCEEDS AK
Soil and Climatic Conditions
Will Make Rich Farm
ing Region

OF the 10000 people in Chehalis
county but few realize the agricultur.
al possibilities of the county, or the
vast wealth that would lie within it's
borders If all it's tillable land was
under thrifty cultivation. w. G. Mu-
NAV, president of the Aberdeen
Chamber of Commerce, has prepared
the following statement, which will
give an idea of the possibilities and
doubtless will astonish many who
have thought themselves fairly fami-
liar with the resources of Chehalis
county.
According to the Assessors report
of 1912, We have in Chehalis County,
S21, ,723 acres of land outside of city
property. OF this, 492,1S4 acres are
timbered; 3O5,S31 acres are unimprov-
ed and 23,7OS acres are cultivated.
We have also:
1859 stock cattle value at $2S,153
or $1,000 per head.
3,417 Mich cows, value at $74,65S or
$1,000 per head, or $1O2811 or 1900
per head.
2.O51 Hogs value at $7,416 or $50
per head.
1888 Sheep value at $2,965, or $3.50
per head.
2S,70S Improved land, 14S farms of
100 acres, 40 head cattle, at $500, or
$72O.
23,70S Improved land, 14S farms of
16 acres, IA hogs at $3.50, or $4,000
2S,70S Improved land, 14S farms of
16 acres, sheep, at $3.50 or $50.
Total tax value per farm in cattle
hogs and sheep-$7S9.OO.
305,831 acres unimproved land
would make 1912 farms, 100 acres
each, at the rate the improved land
is stocked in cattle. 76.4sO head-at
the taxable rate of $1,376,64O; at the
rate the improved land is stocked in
hogs 26,76S head-at the taxable rate
$93,6SS; at the rate the improved
land is stocked in sheep. 1926 head
at the taxable rate $39,24O.
This makes total tax value in
Chehalis County of $1,5O9,56S.OO if all
the logged-off land were brought into
use. Added to this we have 492,-
1874 acres of timbered land which is
being brought into shape for cultiva-
ton.
40 head Of Mich cows should pro-
duce $4,000 per year or for the total
2O6O farms-$S,24O,O 100000. Think It

TARIFF KICKS
NOTFR0M MASSES
Saws President Wilson OBJ
jectors to Bill Are Spe-
cial Interests
PEOPLES VOICE UNHEARD
Chief Executive Scores New
Jersey Politicians = Says
Pledges Must Be Kept

JERSEY CITY, N. J..May 3.-Pres-
ident Wilson last night interpreted
the fight in New Jersey for jury re-
form and constitutional revision as a
part of the struggle of the Ameri-
can people to obtain through the
Democratic party equal justice to all
and special privileges to none.
Though he made no reference to
legislative policies pending in Wash
ington, the president indicated that
the protests being voiced against the
tariff bill We're those of the special
interests, and not the masses.
"Some Of my fellow citizens and
some of their colleagues in Wash
ington City," he sair, NOW think
that they are hearing the voice of
the people of the United States when
they are only hearing the part that
has become vocal by moving down
to Washington and insisting upon it's
special interests.
81 wish that you might do two
opposite things tonight. wish that
you might forget that l am president
of the United States, because l come
here as a Jersey man fulfilling all
promises that l made to Jersey men
and yet l want you to remember that
l am president of the United States.
because it is the business of the pres
ident to see to it wherever he can
that people get what they have a
right to expect. For l am not the
servant of the Democratic party.
am the servant of the people acting
through the Democratic party, which
has now undertaken some of the most
solemn obligations that party ever
undertook, for it has stepped for
ward at a moment of universal dis
appointment and said:
Democratic Pledges
"'We pledge you our honor as
men and as patriots that you shall
not be disappointed again
"This is the situation in which the
Democratic party finds itself and in
the midst of this situation there are
particular promises which the Demo
cratic party, for example in New Jer
sey, has given the people. One of
the things which has made thought
full men in this country most un-
easy is that criminal justice was
touched at it's sources by pervert-
ing political influence and that when
man stood in with the sheriff S
office he was safe from prosecution
and that when he did not stand in
with the sheriff's Office he was in
the position in which We all ought
to be-responsible for anything that
he did against the law of the land.
THE supreme test which the De
mocratic party has now to respond
to is this:
"Is it ready to give the citizens
of New Jersey final guarantee of dis.
interested justice?'
Big Question Stated
did you ever hear bigger ques
ton than that stated. Is there any
suspicion abroad that equal justice
is not administered in the United
States? If there is such a suspicion
who ought, of all others, to remove
it. The men who are responsible
for the administration of justice fin
ally, or the men who make the laws
which underlie the administration Of

justice? / do not know any more
solemn thing than when these gen.
tlemen get together in those cham
bers down in Trenton. There is the
temple in which is worshipped the
god of justice or the god of intrigue
and there is high priest of in

about the corridors of the temple
Are you going to burn incense to his
god, or are you going to burn in
cense to the god OF mankind, the
god of love and of justice and of
righteousness?"
