THE WHARFAGE PROPOSITION.
1§
ANTS SHOULD ORGANIZE.
> of the greatest needs in Orange just now
re commercial organization,
er believes that this organization
take the form of a Merchants’ Assooia-
i and be dominated by the merchants of the.
time that the merchants were taking the
public matters in Orange. Not because
can do better work than any one else, but
HMRUBe in past years they have stood in the
background and attempted nothing for the ad-
vancement of the city unless the lead was taken
. by the manufacturers. '*
flr The merchants are more vitally? interested in
the growth of Orange than are^ the lumber
manufacturers, for, whether .Qfaage ever gets
another inhabitant «Y^i<fC~tbe mills will con-
_ tc, as their product is shipped
elsewhere and is not consnmed in Orange.
The men at the head t>f the great manufac-
turing enterprises in Orange are broad minded,
generous hearted and public spirited men of
affairs, who have ever stood ready to take the
d to do all in their power to build up
and a great work they have accom-
too. ‘ "
That they have not always had the cheerfuL
enthusiastic support of the merchants and oth-
ers in this work is a regrettable fact.
Now, the Leader believes that the merchants
should come to the front, effect an organiza-
tion and begin to look after matters of interest
to the pttblic and of especial interest to the
business community. When they do this they
will find the manufacturers ready to come in
with them to second their .efforts and to sub-
scribe liberally to the expense fund of the As-
sociation.
Them are many matters for such an organi-
zation to handle.
Among the most important is the question
of freight rates.
There are instances on record here where in
is have, by persistent and careful work,
led in securing advantageous freight
rates that have been worth much to the
tire community.
How much more effectively could this work
be carried on, then, through an association
' whose membership would include evprv mer-
■f chant and business man in Orange.
Every favorable freight rate secured, every
§jf new family brought to Orange, every new farm
| opened up, every new enterprise inaugurated,
"■■i.-menns that much more money spent in Orange,
and that much more business for the merchants.
Then, they should begin to realize the im-
portance of an association, should hesitate no
longer, but should step out into the limelight,
toke the lead and show to the world that the
Uerchants of Orange are as wideawake and as
progressive as those of any city.
It seems that Port Arthur is meeting with
some stumbling blocks on this question of
wharfage charges.
The city, at considerable expense, provided
ships and wharfage facilities there and estab-
lished a schedule of wharfage charges.
This was nil right, but in making up this
schedule, a charge was fixed for household
goods coming over the wharves.
The News very correctly takes the jwsition
that no charge should be made on household
goods belonging to new families who are com-
ing to Port Arthur to make their homes. Rath-
er, pimple should be encouraged to move to that
city. On this subject the News says:
“While it is probably best that the city
should ebllect wharfage on goods and merchan
dise brought into the city over the city wharf,
there is no question but that household goods
belonging to persons moving into the city sliould
not be included in the list of ‘dutiable’ goods.
Port Arthur wants more people to move here.
It costs the average man probably as much as
lie can find in the way of ready cash to pay his
freight bill anyway—no matter whether his
household goods may be brought in by rail or
by water. If he brings them in by rail, the city
certainly does not endeavor to collect ‘duty’
on them for the use of the streets—although the
shell paving cost more than the wharf. If, by
natural causes, it is more convenient for a pros-
pective citizen to bring his goods to the city by
water than by rail, there is certainly no more
reason in charging him wharfage on them than
there would be in charging him for the use of
the streets over which his effects are hauled
to his house. As a matter of strict, good busi-
ness fact, it would be better if no wharfage
were charged on any small shipments brought
into the city. Orange, for instance, has a three
hundred foot wharf which is absolutely free
to the use of any who wish to buy goods there
and take them to other places. If Orange has
a free wharf, and Port Arthur makes a charge
for the use of hers, it will not be long before
everyone using waterways in this section for
transportation will know of the'faet—-will know'
that there is a difference in the cost of handling
and buying goods as between Port Arthur and
Orange and will seek the one most advantag-
eous to their pocket books. But, whether or
not the city finds it necessary to levy a charge
on merchandise, it is quite certain that house
hold goods should not lie taxed for coming Into
the city. We want more people.”

DESIRED IMMUNITY
Supposed Object of Move ie to Avoid
Prosecution Under Both Federal and
State Anti-Truet Laws, for Conap i ra-
cy in Reatraint of Trade.
Mew York, Oct. 27.—Going the
round* in financial circlet hen hi
report that the Mg packing Interests
which make up the so-called beef
trust, are planning to form a •'holding
company" under a foreign charter.
The supposed object of this move is
to avoid prosecution, under both Fed-
eral and State anti-trust laws, for con-
spiracy In restraint of trade.
The conviction of the manager of
the Western Meat company, In Cali-
fornia, under that state’s anti-trust
statute, is thought to be the cause of
the packers’ uneasiness. Nearly all
other states have anti-trust laws simi-
lar to that of California, so that there
may be a wide-spread movement
against the Trust and its various sub-
sidiaries.
It is unlikely that the packer* will
hbld to the plan of seeking a charter
abroad, if they have formed such
plan, because the weight of legal oplB
Ion Is to the effect that It would not
bring abonl the desired immunity. It
is said that some such scheme was
advanced for the Joint control of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads several yeans ago, but that
the companies’ counsel decided that a
foreign company would stand no tod-
ter chance than a domestic one. It
was therefore determined to incor-
porate the Northern Securities cant
pany In this country; this combi nation
was finally declared Illegal and was
dissolved.
The Western Meat company, the
manager of which was convicted In
California, la understood to t»e con-
trolled by the Trust Interests, as Is
the National Packing company in tin-
east. The National Packing company
has upon Its board of directors J, Og-
den Armour. L F. Swift, Irs N Mor-
ris, ssd others associated with them
In the meat packing -htdtist nr. This
company, it is said, hi already proper-
ing to defend itself against suits that
may bo brought under various anti-
trust acts.
STRIKE THREATENED
A 12-yenr old girl was married in the Syrian
colony of St. Louis. The celebration fasted
forty-eight hours without intermission, and the
drinkables consumed 4,800 glasses of lager
beer, 1,400 large tumblers of whiskey, 500
glasses of wine and 500 glasses of proof gin
It is said to have been an orderly affair, too
Atlanta Georgian.
Query: If it required that much for the wed-
ding of a twelve-year-old girl, what would have
been the eonsnmption if the bride had been
twenty-one?

Inasmuch as the esteemed Bud Weiner has

ns “what makes the wild cat wild!”
The fire last night which destroyed a cottage
in the north end of the city, brought out a fusil-
lade of pistol shots, without which {lossibly
not a score of people outside of the immediate
neighborhood would have known there was a
fire. Pistol shot fire alarms are bad, distinctly
bad, but they arc certainly lietter than no fire
alarm at all.
