THE MAYORS VETO
In the Matter of Electric Lights
for Corvallis

THE CRY OF CORVALLIS,
GREETING:
Gentlemen:-I herewith return
to you with my disapproval an
ordinance entitled, IAN ordi-
nance adopting a form of con-
tract and authorizing the police
judge of Corvallis to execute the
same for and in behalf of the
City of Corvallis an one party,
and the Electric Light and Power
Company the other party, for the
supplying of the City of Corval-
lis for the period of ten years,
aud certain other provisions iuci-
dent to said contract.
| AS grounds for this veto, beg
to say that.it is my opinion that
a council, bound by oath to a
just and proper care of the affairs
of the people, has NO right to
pay one party more for street
lighting than another will supply
1t for. In my view such Council
always and everywhere, owes it
to the people..to take advantage OF
every opportunity and circum-
stance to secure lighting, not
only for public but for private
use, at the lowest possible rates.
At the time this ordinance was
passed, a bidder was on the floor
of this Council chamber, begging
the privilege of submitting lower
figures for street lighting and
promising a reduction to private
consumers. There had lbeen no
formal submission and opening
of bids, and in my view the re-
ception of any and all bids that
might have been offered at that
meeting would have been per-
fectly fair and regular. Indeed,
the sale at auction by open bid
ding of franchises of the charac-
ter that the Council is about to
bestow, has become the practice
in many cities, and it has turned
out to be fraught with advantage
to the municipality and profit to
the people. 1t is because the
councilmen refused to accept a
lower priced light, but proceeded
to contract tor ten years for a
higher priced light, that I feel
impelled to disagree with the
councilmen and to submit this
message of dissent.
AS further reason for this
veto, I present herewith the offer
of B. F. Joues to contract with
the Council to supply street light
ing to the city for ten years at
the rate of five dollars per m onth
for arcs and $I.35 for incandes-
cents. The rate provided for in
the ordinance you have passed,
is $500 per month for arcs, and
$I.4I for incandescents. The
difference during the ten years on /
a basis of fifteen arcs for street
would be $1,000, not
taking to account the annual in
terest, and the fact of a certain
increase in the amount of light
that will be used as the period
advances.
The offer of Mr.. Jones is ac-
companied by a bond of $2, 600,
by myself, guarantee
ing that the proposition will re-
main open for the city to accept
for period of thirty days, if it is
SO desired.
In conclusion, am assured
and believe that the capital upon
which the offer of Mr.. Jones is
based, based, is local money, and
that the real bidders for the con-
tract are responsible Corvallis
citizens.

SECOND PARENTS MEETING
Gathering at Summit a PleaSnt
Feature to All

The citizens of Summit ant
vicinity showed their apprecia-
ton of the efforts being put forth
by Sup't Denman in his work o.
building up the schools of oul
county. Sup't Denman had ar.
ranged a program for a parents
meeting at that place last Satur-
day, which included the schools
of Blodgett and Summit. In ar
ranging the meeting Sup't Den
man had to rely entirely on local
help. AS but few of the citizens
for the program of that part of the
county ever participated in such
gathering, this being the first
meeting ever held in this part OF
Benton, the meeting was an ex-
pertinent which proved to be sue
cessful beyond all question.
At the appointed hour, the
school building was well filled,
while muddy roads and inclem-
ent weather, prevented some from
attending, large number turned
out. After short singing ex-
ercise Mrs. III. H. Underhi]l read
his wife's paper on "What Must
Parents do to Insure a Good
SCHOOL," Mrs. Florence Max
field delivered an excellent ad-
dress on "Duty of Teacher to

Denman delivered an able ad-
dress on "School Room Fail

GENERAL DECISIONS WIDOW.

Confederate Veterans and Daughters of the
Confederacy throughout the state will regret to
know that the late legislature in all of its ex-
travagant expenditures and appropriations,
refused to appropriate anything for the benefit
of the aged and dependent widow of Col, J. J.
Dickinson. The house of representatives ad-
mluistered the cruel blow.-Metropolis.
Miss Octavia Walton. afterwards
Madam Octavia Walton LeNert, one
of a small number Of women of Flor
ida who became conspicuous in the
world of letters, visited England in
1853 and on every hand observed
monuments erected to Lord Nelson,
England's great naval hero.
In speaking of which this gifted
woman made the following COM
ments:
"NelsOn was an Idol with the Eng
lish people; constantly have We seen
statutes 10 his memory, and memo
rails of bis valOr; yet the woman he
ever loved, and whom with his last
breath of life he bequeathed to his
country, entreating protection for her,
was left TO suffer and 10 die in the
greatest poverty, and his child cast
forth to struggle with misery and
wretchedness. Active benevOlence to
the being in whose veins flowed the
hero's blood would much more avail
than these cold trophies to his glory"
How well this criticism applies to
FIorida's treatment of her military
hero. While he was yet struggling with
infirmity, age and poverty, mOnu-
ment was erected to perpetuate the
memory of his heroism. When he
died Gen. Dickson was buried with
expensive public honOrs and his aged
widow is now left to battle with the
world with all the train of miseries
that belong to cherries poverty.
Indeed, republics, like empires, are
ungrateful.
