accompanied by his son. After a
short stay on the coast they will re-
turn To Missouri. Mr.. Davidson is a
wholesale milliner and this is his first
trip to Arizona. He said last night
that he 50 enjoyed his stay here that
next winter he will probably bring
his family here for the winter. While
the climate impressed him, the fu-
ture of the Salt River valley appealed
to him much more and when he re-
turns east he intends to give to the
local newspapers his opinion of the
valley and what it has To offer for the
homeseeker. While here he rode over
nearly every section, learned what he
could about land. its value and pro-
ducts. No part of the United States
that he has visited looks as good to
him as this valley and he finds finan-
cial conditions much better here than
in the middle west and east. While
here. he was a guest of the Ford hotel
and went out with several hunting
parties
JACK DUFTON DEAD. - Word
was received from Tucson yesterday
that J. f. Dufton, better known all
over the territory as Jack Dufton,

A number of farms have been
sold in Ellis county, Texas, for 500

refused to sell at these figures.

The measure of economy In e.
penses possible In rural communi~
ties was illustrated upon the death
recently of an old Dutch farmer In
Dauphin county. He had for many
years been rated as 'miser' by his
neigh bors, and 1t was learned at his
funeral that shortly before his
death he had boosted that he had
only spent ''3 cents" in the preced-
ingsyear 1t was also we'll attested
that before that he had lived ex-
clusiyely upon the produce OF the
small tract of land he owned and
cultivated These expenditures were,
of course, exclusive of the taxes on
the small piece Of land he lived on.

Monday night will tell the story
in the great voting contest inaugu-
rated by the Daily Light for the
most popular teacher in the public
schools. The Daily Light has pur-
chased five tickets for the perform
ance of The Clansman" at the OPP
era house next Wednesday night and
will present them to the fortunate
winner of the contest.
The contest has been hot one
from the very start, and its closing
scenes are battle royal. Even at
this late date no one can say who is
going to win. In all probability the
heaviest voting of all will be in the
next twenty-four hours. There have
been some surprising changes in the
order of the candidates. Now, as
they enter the homestretch, still
more surprising changes may be
looked for. Hundreds of anxious
telephone inquiries are received
daily concerning the vote. NO sooner
has one candidate forged ahead
slightly than the friends of another
have Jumped into the fight and turn
ed the day temporarily at least.
The teachers have heartily enjoy
ed the contest. as well they may. 1t
has been a delightful demonstration
to them of the enthusiasm and loyal
ty of their friends who have set ont
,o honor them in his manner
"Th, CIansman' will be indeed a

BOURNE'S RIGHT SPIRIT.

In his letter to Senator c. ]. Smith
Of this city, concerning the organi-
zation OF the legislature. Jonathan
Bourne. the peoples choice for the
Unit a states senate. says that he is
not in the fight over the organization
of the legislature.
His friends may be Jealous. but he
IS ont Of it.
If Mr.. Bourne actually means what
he "ays, he is exhibiting the right
spirit and by pursuing this policy he
nray serve in the senate more than
one term.
II the senatorship is to be taken
cut Q: the legislature, by the popular
election of senators. the entire ques-
tion should be eliminated. The sena-
torship should not be made an issue
in the organization. The legislature
should be organized on another issue
altogether. 1t should be organized
for business, efficiency, public well
fare.
The stand taken by Mr.. Bourne in
his matter has really given evidence
OF genuine appreciation in his mind,
Of the higher meaning of popular
election of United States senators.

LIKE SCATTERED SHEEP.

The eastern oregon members of
the legislature, l9 in number are not
organized on any decisive legislation.
They are the scattered sheep of the
legislative flock.
Western Oregon stands a solid body
on legislation affecting that portion
OF the state. Multnomah county has
never heen known TO dissolve its
solid organization in the legislature
ard can secure almost anything it
demands.
Eastern Oregon plays whip-popper
for every other section of the state.
The ls members of the legislature
from aast of the Cascade mountains,
by pcrfecting and maintaining under
all circumstances, an indlssoluble or
ganiZation, could secure a number of
needed laws for this section of the
state.
But instead of standing solidly to-
gether. we forsake our own interests
at the beck OF Multnomah county or
some ether big fellow and the result
IS that We are "benevolently assimi-
lated" and the other fellow gets the

STOP STOCK WATERING.

The suit brought in Minnesota to
stop the Great Northern railroad from
issuing S60,O00.OO0 of additional stock
ought to win, says the Salem Journal
There is no greater inlquity today
than the practices of the railroad
kings getting control of one system by
issue of stock on another.
That is the way the Hartman
properties have nearly all been ac-
Quired, and unless it is stopped all
the railroads will be in his hands.
If hanks were allowed to do that
there would be no way to stop one
large concern swallowing up all the
small banks in the country.
But a bank cannot exist and do
business and practice stock watering
on the same scale that these large
public service corporations do
1t is fortunate, because such infla-
tioE would destroy ali financial sta
bility and ruin the credit of the whole
nation.
The legislatures of the various
states should see to it that wholesale
railroad stock watering is prohibited.
The state and the people should
have some control over issues of stock
aud shouldd know what Is done with
the money.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-11
NO PASSES FOR THE PEOPLE.

There shall be no passes for the
people, but public officials shall be
allowed to ride free, under the pro-
visions of a bill just drawn by Attor-
rey John F. Logan Of Portland.
This is not in accordance with the
anti-oaSs law which was adopted by
the people last June.
Under the provisions of that law,
nobody should accept a pass from i
railroad company. 1t IS presumed
that the state is able to pay it's legiti-
mate expenses. the transportation of
state officials being one of the leglti-
mate items of expense.
Thousands of business men who
are large shippers and constant pat
rons Of the railroads never ride upon
a pass. Their business justifies ex-
tensivc travel and they pay cash for
their transportation. The state of
Oregon is as able to meet its legiu-
mate expenses as are these business
men
Mr.. Logan's bill is unjust both to
the public which is excluded from the
privileges OF fre" transportation and
to the railroads which are forced to
issue free passes to public officials
to give something for nothing.
Mr.. Logan's bill will be taken as Il
joke by the legislators. II the legis-
llture enGcts a pass law at all, it
cannot do otherwise than to put into
effect the law adopted by the people
of Oregon last June--a strong, clear,
unqualified anti-pass law, which was
rendered null by some error in its
title as printed in the initiative state
ment on the ballot.
1t would place the state of Oregon
in a most humliating and disgrace
Eul condition to pass 4 law forcing
the railroads to give free transporta-
tion to public officials 1t would be
just as reasonable to pass law or
dering hotels to furnish accommoda-
tions free or to force BARRIERS to shave
the faces Of legislators without
charge.
Let us have a real anti-pass law. OF
no anti-pass law. No farce is wanted
by the people of Oregon.
