WHAT MAY 1T MEAN?
The Power of the People is Dis
cussed More or Less.

A great deal depends upon the
Interpretation of bill which
may be passed at the legislature,
later to find a place on the statutes
of Oregon. Sometimes the ex-
act meaning is somewhat obscure
and more evils result from misin-
terpretations of the law than if
it did not exist.
Recently there has been much
discussion of the referendum and
its powers, and, for reasons that
will be explained later, we will
print that part of the the ''amend-
ment of the constitution. of the
State of Oregon adopted by the
vote of the people in June, 1909,
as follows:
1.-The second power is the ref
erendum, and it may be ordered

Something of a Tangle.

Sam Warheld arrived from AL
sea Tuesday evening. He came
out as the representative of the
people of that section to inquire
into matters relating to Alsea
cemetery. There is quite, a his
tory in connection with this
burial ground.
From what is learned, it seems
that nearly 80 years ago, or in
1876, J. E. Greer decided a plot
of land, about an acre, to the AL
sea people for the establishment
of a cemetery. Articles were filed
incorporating the association un-
der the title of the Alsea Gem
etery Incorporation. The in
corporators were ]. II. Mason.
Mulkey Vernon and ]. E. Greer.
Both Mason and Vernon are now
dead and Mr.. Greer has moved
from Alsea to Corvallis.
For years no incorporation fees
have been paid and the matter
seemed to have lapsed to goodness
knows where. The exact state
of affairs was not known to the
people of Alsea, and as they were
desirous of making certain i'm
provements and putting the Gem
etery IN a presentable condition,
Mr.. War6eld was sent out to in
quire into matters as much a
possible.
This he did Wednesday, will

SELECTIONS MADE FROM
PRESS OF SOUTHWEST
Where Go the Juicy PIums.

1t seems to be slated that Joe Alexander of Phoenix,
will be the next United States marshal of Arizona, and
that he will be assisted by w. F. Cooper, of Tucson. AS
usual the jicy plums will go to Phoenix and Tucson.
Alexander and Cooper are good men and competent for
the place, but it would seem good politics to distribute
the officers over the territory. The Guardian intimates
that Hon. Lee N. Stratton, of Stafford, would not object to
the appointment of a second place. Mr.. Stratton is a
successful lawyer. and served as district attorney in
Graham county, having been elected on the republican
ticket, an honor conferred upon but few men in this
Copper Era.

LABOR'S PROPORTION OF
CONSTANTLY GROWING WEALTH

The bureau of labor allows the information to be
spread abroad that the cost of living in this country has
steadily increased since 1890, though wages have not in
creased in proportion.
The fine showing of prosperity appears from this to
be only a veneer prosperity that does not give the man
of wages a good living and a surplus, and is not prosper
ity at all.
Consolation comes, however, from Prof. Warner Som
bart, of Berlin, who has been investigating the standard
of living in this country. American workmen, he says,
live better and dress better than the workmen of any
other country he has ever visited, and he has studied
conditions in many.
He admires the spacious dwelling of the American
laboring man, where even a bathroom is not missing"
He is impressed by the %"sumptuous meal which the
workman consumes as a lunch at the factory"
He has pleasant memories of girls who even at
work wear white silk bIouses and on holidays walk
around as the most fashionable ladies, in kid gloves and
silk dresses
The picture the German professor draws is a con-
soling one. likely to make us forget that the cost of living
is steadily increasing far more rapidly than wages.
But the American wage Garner cannot be seduced in
to forgetting that he is entitled to something moe than a
mere living.
He cannot forget that his condition is not as good as
it ought to be. He is ambitious that his sons shall in
herit better environment than he did and that their OPP
portunities in life shall be greater than his.
That feeling among the millions of American wage
earners has made this the greatest country on earth.
1t is the basis and substance of our industrial devel-
opment.
The big trusts and financial combines are but the
exclamation points in the story of growth.
1t is not enough that American wage earners live
better than those of any other country. They more than
deserve to do that. They are more capable, more am
bilious, more industrious than any others anywhere.
Some statistician has gathered and a number of ex-
changes have published the following figures, which are
wonderfully significant, if true:
In 1850 the wealth of the nation was $S,GO,OOO,OOO,
The producers share was 62h per cent; non-producers'
share, 371a per cent.
In 1860, .the wealth increased to $4,000, 100000. The
producers share fell to AZ ga per cent; non-producers'
increased to 56 IA per cent.
In 1870, the wealth was $780, 00, 000, 900. Producers
share was 1928 per cent; non-producers' share, 81 13
per cent.
In 1880 the wealth increased to $4S,000, 100000. The
producers share went down to "a per cent while the non
producers share increased to rs per cent.
1t is a pity the comparison does not include the CEN
sus of 1900; but the statements amply sustain labor in
some of its most importunate claims.

SELLING Franchises.

Some two years ago or less the question of granting
public franchises was before the municipal government.
The Tucson Citizen took strong grounds in favor of pub
lie franchises being sold to the best and highest bidder.
What is the attitude of the Citizen now on this i'm.
portant subject?
Public utilities sell for normo prices in some
cities. What is to be the attitude Of Tucson on this ques-

plenish its depleted treasury. The matter is open for
public iscussion.-Tucson Star.

Somewhat Torrid.

Although the mercury is surveying humanity from a
high place these days-somewhat in the vicinity of no
in the shade-it is pretty much of a piker in comparison
with the mercury in the thermometers in Phoenix, Yuma
and other points in the territory. The hottest known
place in the territory last week was Blaisdell. The
thermometer there registered 1870 and a Southern Pa.
eific freight crew which took lunch at that place cooked
coffee by allowing it to stand in the sun. Phoenix re-
ported IFS with the atmosphere very humid.-Tucson

Mimi, 2S, and Duluth, MINI, rs degrees.
Average of the lowest temperature, day and night,
recorded at Moorhead in a year, 1873 degrees.
Official records show that just across the border in
Canada there are stations where the average temperature
throughout the year is 80 degrees, the freezing point.
Unofficial but authentic records tell that the hottest
weather ever known was on June II, 1859. At San
Francisco on that day the temperature rose to 1873 de-
grees during the prevalence of a whitening blast that cyl
IDENTIFY had its origin on the prairies. Santa Barbara, Cal,
also wilted under a temperature that sent the mercury
up to 1873 degrees.
: There are unofficial but reliable chronicles that de-
scribe heated terms extraordinary. In July, 1876, the
mercury was near 100 degrees for several days in a reg
ion stretching from Pittsburg to New York. There was
a succession of hot days in July, 1878, that killed 1853
people in st. Louis and more than 800 in the country.
In September, 1882, the temperature ranged from 100 to
ITO degrees in Kansas and Missouri. From June 8 to IL,
1877, there was a hot spell during which the thermometer
touched SO degrees at San Francisco, ia at Yuma and
1872 at Spring Valley, Cal. During this same period ice
formed at Cheyenne, 600 miles away, where the tempera
ture feel 10 80 degrees. During the daytime at Yuma the
temperature never fell below 1913 degrees, and the aver
age daytime temperature for the whole month was 11c
degrees.

For the official organ of an enterprise, which natur-
ally is supposed to understand the conditions and the
interests of that which it is exploiting, the water Journal
shows an astonishing inaccuracy of information or want
of knowledge. In its outbreak of this morning
it speaks of the report of "the special water
committee of the city council" upon "the request of the
Water Supply company for an extension Of its franchise,
and upon the practicabiity of municipal ownership of the
waterworks." With line upon line and precept upon pre-
cept, here a little there a great deal, The Citizen has
tried to make the water Journal understand that three
things, no more no less, were referred to this special
COMMITTEES" for investigation and report. They are:
Does the water company want to sell? What Is their
price? What can a new and up to date plant, fully ade-
uate TO the eity's wants be established for? These, and
none other, were the subjects of investigation referred TO
the special committee for report. From the first the
water Journal has gone on declaring the special commit
tee to have been appointed to report on the feasibility Of
present municipal ownership; and now it has gone ut
terly to the bad by saying they are also to report on the
request OF the Water Supply company for the extension
of its franchise" thus confounding the special commit
tee" with the standing committee Of the city council.
