A NEW DEAL

What the plan for widening Stan
ley street now amounts to is a new
deal for property owners and per-
laps for the public. Almost total
dissatisfaction with the previous
plan Of the board of public works
has brought about this require
ment, and new scheme of pro-
cedure and re-assessment OF dam
ages and benefits is the logical con-
sequence.
The public works board can do
no better than incorporate the ideas
of the people most definitely affect
ed. That would BE- In line with the
mayors proposal that civic servants
make themselves acquainted with
the needs and wishes of the cleo
torate.

AN INCINERATOR FORUM

There may be conscientious OBJ
iectors to the incinerator idea who
have good ideas under their hats;
or they may have ideas that can
easily be set at naught. They are to
get the opportunity of securing all
the information they need about this
subject, or the opportunity to con-
tribute from their source of infor-
nation. All this will be done at a
public forum, which is happy idea,
one which will either result in show
ing the need for an incinerator or
blast the expectations and hopes of
those who see no other way out of
the present difficulty of disposing OF
garbage.
The facts are the surrounding
towns are turning thumbs down
upon the present system OF dispos-
ing OF garbage within their baili-
wicks. Maybe they can be paid
for the privilege or perhaps money
cannot talk loud enough. certainly
their citizens have a right to OBJ
1ect to the disposal OF garbage from
their nelghbor, and they are doing
this with increasingly loud accents,

Tho question of an incinerator
cannot be begged much longer. II
the city cannot dispose Of its gar
bage out Of town 1t will have to dis
pose Of 1t within Its own gates, and
1t is unlikely that this can be done
in any other way than through an
incineyator. However. II the con-
scientious objectors, who are cred
tied with thinking the civic SER
wants who have talked for an incin-
orator ara merely following fad,
can produce some alternative not
yet thought Of they need to attend
the forum In goodly numbers. The
other side must also be present in
proportion: and then there can be a
valuable civic debate which will
clear the atmosphere and give
everyone a thorough conception of
q problem that is becoming con-
stantly more pressing,

A meeting of the storekeepers

THE CRUISER PLAN

President Coolidge's leadership
on important questions OF national
policy was again flouted today" be-
gan the news dispatch relating to
passage by the House Of concurrence
with the Senate amendment to the
naval appropriation bill immediate
ly making money available for the
construction. of three light cruisers.
II President Coolidge has any in
fluence left with Congress it would
be interesting to discover where it
Hes. With all his prestige, in this
generation, no President with a
Congress supposedly under his
party's control, has failed so many
times to swing it on so many i'm
portant issues. White House apollo
gists are inclined to blame this upon
the combination of Insurgents and
Democrats; but when one notes that
such administration stalwarts as
Speaker Longworth and House
Leader Tilson were for the cruiser
building plan, 1t is clear that poll
ticians in Congress are becoming
more Independent every day. 1t
might be noted in passing that Con-
gresham Fem of this district also
voted against the Coolidge plan of
no ships.
The United States navy is far be-
hind those of Great Britain and ia
pan in light cruiser strength, and
there is a widespread belief that the
appropriation for three cruisers to
be built at once would no more vio-
late the spirit than it would the
letter of the Washington SIMS
treaty. The words of Speaker Lug
worth while that while we owe it
as an obligation to other nations to
conform with the spirit of the
Washington conference agreement,
We owe an equally great obligation
to the American people that we do
not fall below the strength author
lied by that agreement" This
contention is hard to dispute.

MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL

Members OF the Common Coun-
Gil who are supposed to represent
the people should have some means
of knowing what their constituents
desire. Sometimes they guess at 1t,
and sometimes they don't even
seem to go to the trouble of guess
ing. Most frequently they play per-
sonal politics, ward politics. or
city politics.
Mayor Weld apparently thinks
the wishes of constituents come
first, regardless of all other con-
siderations. Such a democratic view
is refreshing. Fancy councilman
or an alderman putting himself to
trouble and inconvenience in find
ing out what his constituents want,
what they need, or what they think
they need. Such an individual
would accumulate unexampled
strength as civic servant: he
wouldn't need to worry much about
a second term; he'd get it thrust
upon him.
The public, however, is itself
somewhat to blame. 1t has become
lackadaisical, uninterested. There
are q plenitude of citizens in the
city who, without doubt, do not
know the names of their council
manic representatives About half
of them do not vote and the other
half 60 to the polls with no serious
desire to be censorious of public
the party label, usually straight,
and then hurry off to their bust
ness or hurdle toward the show or
the radio.
There is need for a civic awak
ening, a revival of interest in city,
country. state and federal govern
ment. The governing powers have
gotten too far away from the peo-
pie, or the people too far away
from the governing powers. The
mayors idea that councilmanic
members keep themselves informed
of what the public wants, when 1t
wants 1t and how it wants it, is a
step in the right direction. The
public can with profit to itself
men know what it is thinking about
once in awhile.

very carefully"
+. Grocer: This one is big and of a
good yellow color, and it has a few
faint brown markings on one side.
This is bit larger, little greenish
on top and no brown markings. Here
is one with a round dark spot on
the bottom"
Mrs. Barnum: 1.-THE second one
looks the best. I'll take it. Bring a
cocoanut to the phone, please and
shake it."
Grocer "Yes'm. How does this
one sound ?"
Mrs. Barnum: at gurgles a little
too much. Try another. There, that's
better. Is your celery nice and crisp
today?"

A COURAGEOUS VETO

In vetoins the McNary-Haugen
farm relief bill President Coolidge
exercised courage and a consider
able disregard Of the political con-
sequences. He remained consistent.
He began publicly opposing the
farmers scheme when he went to
Chicago to address the American
Farm Bureau federation and re-
peatedly thereafter. When Cong.es
souelched the farm relief bill last
year the field looked clear and
there was no trouble ahead for the
President In connection with set
tlement OF this pernicious doctrine
although the western farm bio.
was not inclined to thank him much
for the assistance rendered the op-
position.
This year, however. the situation
changed for the worse from a
presidential viewpoint. Congress
passed the measure and it lay be-
fore the President for his signature
or veto, or lacking either, 1t would
have become law In ten days.
Much speculation resulted, there
fore, as to whether he would change
front for political reasons, or would
stick to his previous policy. Wheth-
er he would seek third term, 1t
was held in some quarters, might
depend to some extent upon his ac-
ton.
Now the die is cast; the President,
throwing political considerations to
the winds, has remained true to his
earlier opinions and has thrown
down the gauntlet to the farm bloc
in the most effective manner pos
sble. The political warfare that is
likely to result cannot help having
q, far-reaching effect upon the
future.
In the end the farm relief bill
may still be put into law. This can
come about during the next Con-
gress, when 1t most assuredly will
again be put forward for passage.
And it is entirely likely that the next
Congress, to be composed of the
political dssenters elected last No
those favoring the bill to pass it
over his veto.

THE COST OF A FISH

1t has remained for faraway Ore
gon to give the nation an idea as
to the actual cost of fishing, the
real and basic outlay incident to
the practice of the piscatorial art.
hermen-actual, professional.
living out-of-it fishermen
in Oregon have been bowling
about two ubiquitous" bills which
have been entered In the Legisla-
ture. These would eliminate the
commercial catch of salmon on
certain streams, the better to give
sportsmen a chance at the fish,
which are rapidly deteriorating in
quantity as a result of commercial
activity.
Those advocating the bills have
come to the front with an argu-
ment that might be considered quite
as devastating to the arguments Of
the directors as commercial fishing
is to the future prospects of fish.
This commercial fishing is he
most wasteful thing IN the state,
1t is argued. The commercial fish
etmen secure their catch with all
sorts of unsportsmanlike equipment,
obtain the denizens OF the waters in
wholesale lots, and sell the catch at
ridiculously low prices.
Consider the sportsmen, however.
When they go fishing it is with hook
and line. They seek out the back
woods streams, patronize hotels, res
taurants, and all other businesses
which cater to the wants of civiliza-
ton; they motor scores of miles
| from their homes to the streams,
( use much gasoline and wear out
| their motors on steep mountain
| grades-also wearing out their
brakes on the return trip. AS a rule
| they are out for a good time and
don't mind spending money. Their
equipment in the first place is elab-
crate and costly.
After spending money right and
| left in following this out door sat
urnalia of sport, the average sports
man is vastly satisfied if he brings
back one large salmon. Some return
with a few more than that; others
with none at all.
II is admittedly difficult TO
bring the costs down to actual fl
cures, it is said, but whenSall out
lays are taken into consideration it
is fair to assume-in Oregon that
it costs the fishermen of the state,
and those who visit the state from
California and other less fishy states,
an average of $40 per salmon for
their sport.
Now cost of Slo per fish is
nothing 10 sneeze at, it is claimed
Compared with that, commercial
fishing Is certainly the quinte.ence

South at once if their continued
existence here depends on MAX
ing women work harder at the
looms at any season Of the
year. "-Springfield Republican.
Thus a contemporary replies to
the cry of the cotton textile inter-
ests OF Massachutts in their effort
to have the 4S-hour-law for women
modified by the Legislature SO as
to allow for longer working hours
in the rush season without increas-
ing the number of hours in a year.
The bill won't pass. Every politi-
cal and economical argument is
against It. The Democrats are solid
ly opposed; the Republicans divid-
ed. Other textile interests outside
of cotton fabricators are Indifferent.
The cotton textile industry in Rhode
Island and New Hampshire, where
there are no 4S-hour women laws,
are in as difficult straits as is
Massachusetts,. The New York state
industrial survey commission recent
Iy, after an exhaustive investigation,
advocated passage OF a law in that
state similar to that in Massachu-
sets. 1t is not likely that Massa-
chusetts will ditch an advanced
piece of social welfare legislation
which other states feel inclined to
copy.
The Springfield Republican has
courageously hit upon an answer to
the cotton textilers' claim that they
can't compete with the South. LET
them go there IL they wish it, in
effect is the reply. 1t is a more
courageous and sincere statement
than those being made by the cotton
| textile magnatcs.

In the newspapers Of few days
ago was a story concerning a Pc
destrian in New Haven, who upon
finding himself in a traffic maze,
tainted and narrowly escaped being
run down. Comments were heard to
the effect that such thing was to
be expected in New Haven traffic
but if a pedestrian with weak
heart ever attempts to cross Main
street at a point near the beginning
of Arch street. especially at noon,
we shudder to think of the results.
No reflection is cast upon the
traffic officer at that point for he
has four corners to watch at the
same time and that is no easy mat
ter. But try and cross the road at
this point without becoming q jay
walker. 1t can't be done. The officer
signals traffic to come ahead on
Arch street and on the southern
part of Main street. Traffic coming
down is then given its turn and so
on, vice versa but the pedestrian
is given no chance to cross. When
traffic isn't going north. it's going
south which leaves the person de-
string to cross in a predicament he
has to figure out for himself. It's
either a case of spending the noon
hour waiting at the curb, or run
ming out into the middle of the
road between the two lines Of cars
