Their lives on such errands are filled with much per sonal sacrifice, the kind that gives great help to others, and these talks on ex- periences are useful in our home mis- sions.

Want Street Opened.

A petition is being circulated by the residents of Palmer Terrace and Ensley Highlands asking the Mayor and City Council to extend Twenty-second street from Avenue to Palmer Terrace, and also to open and improve Ensley avenue from Ensley Highlands to Palmer sta- tion. The property owners along this ave- nue sometime ago donated enough land to make the thoroughfare, and are now asking that the same be properly i'm proved. Sidewalks have already been laid to some extent.
 The question of opening Twenty-second street as requested in the petition has been discussed before. and now that the people living in that section are actively pushing the matter, the City Council will no doubt take some steps toward accom- plishing the desired result.

Cook, was landed behind the bars of the Ensley jail on charges of begging or va graney and obtaining money under false pretenses.

 Cook seems to conine himself in his operations principally to professional men. but tried his scheme once too often in Ensley.

 The state tax commission and Auditor Brandon have suggested to the officers charged with the execution of the new revenue laws that no penalties be at tached to the collection of the license or privelege tax with regard to the privi- lege tax that has become liable under the new law until thirty days from the ap- prova1 of the new act. It will be well for those who are liable for license, Audi tor Brandon says, to pay them to the pro- bate judges before April 7 after which time a penalty will attach.

A MOST PERTINENT KICK.
Shall Not the County Have the Fruit
Laws Enforced Shall the Orch
ards not be Protected?

To Editor Of the TIMES: -.
1t seems pity that when we
have laws we do not enforce them;
especially Is this SO when every
body knows that the laws are for
the good of the country. The
state legislature has passed law
compelling every resident of the
state take care of his fruittrees, and
also against allowing any wormy
or diseased fruit to be sold in the
market.
Are these laws being enforced?,
If they are have not seen any
evidence of their enforcement. The
county court of each: county is
given power to appoint a fruit in
spector, whose duty it shall be to
see that these. laws are enforced.
And has our county court done
this Other counties are getting
far ahead of Benton in this matter
and that the fruit inspector of each
county is wide-a-. wake man is
attested to by their presence at
the short course at OAC this week.
What good does it do a fruit
grower to spend money in pruning
and spraying. both for scale and
worms, when his neighbor across
/ the fence pays no affection to
| fighting the various orchard pests.
While we continually boast OF
having the finest county in the
Willamette Valley, we are letting
this very important industry OF
fruit culture drag, while our neigh
boring counties have recognized
the value of these laws and have
fruit inspectors who are enforcing
them. At the last meeting of the
Linn County Horticultural Society
it was voted that the sense of the
meeting was that the fruit inspector
should enforce the laws rigidly
and to the letter.
If we had an inspector wht
dared to do his duty and was sup
ported by the Epeople, one tha
would pour oil on wormy or scaly
fruit when found in the market
and one that would travel through
the country and see that law.

Give US authority.

It would be very proper move
for the city of Corvallis to get
authority from the legislature for
an issue OF bonds for construction
of city-owned and city-operated
light plant. Authority to issue
need not necessarily mean actual
issue of the bonds. The object
should be rather to have the auth
ocity as fighting resource in case
the present light monopoly ignores
the universal demand for better
service. No citizen knows what
the future has in store for Corvallis
in this matter oflights. If present
conditions continue they will be-
come intolerable. No competing
company dares come in for the Will
lamette Valley company with its
monopoly of the whole state could
quickly crush any competitor VINO
would have the temerity to under
take to do business in Corvallis.
The method would be the same
that Standard Oil has always in
voked with such deadly effect.
Meantime, aside from its employ
es, the monopoly does not care
what the people of Corvallis think
of its service. If the city were in a
position to install plant of its
own at any moment, it would have
at least one weapon left with which
to fight. Authority to issue bonds
with a light commission named il
the bill to carry out the plan, il
necessary, would he an eminently
fitting measure for the city to bring
about. It would be measure O.
precaution with a possibility tha
the bonds would never be issued
By taking the step, we would b.
armed and able to do business, i
we have finally to fight.

THERE is considerable talk among
the big 'uns that Roosevelt will be a
candidate for nomination to the presi-
dencey. While Taft is looked upon
with some favor, it is well known that
he does not create sufficient enthus-
iasm to arouse the people. Also it is
being demonstrated that the system
is laying plans to defeat Roosevelt
and that is powerful influence with
him he is no gutter. The smell of
battle makes him anxious for the
fray. But it is not Roosevelt's de-
sires alone that are to be considered.
He has inaugurated certain policies,
has had the support of the people,
and when these policies are attacked
by the System" he owes it to his sup
porters to get into the fight and those
supporters now think that Roosevelt
can best serve them by being a can
didate.

of which we Judge that stockholders
will be able TO survive the shock of

President Smith, of the Louisville

and legislation are deterring investors
from investing capital to the roads.
No doubt he remembers the compara-
lively recent transaction whereby
thirty millions Of the stock OF his road
was converted into fifty millions OF
collateral trust bonds, etc, and in
that inflated form passed on to the
investor.
No agitation deters the investor;
but he hasn't any loose money part
ly because he has of late put so many
hundred millions into inflated rail-
road capitalization, in the form of col
lateral trust bonds, etc, issued by
one rotd to acquire control of another.
When the investor is in funds again
the consolidating and initiating may
be vigorously resumed, to the vast
satisfaction and profit of the gentle
men engaged in it.
President Baer, Of the Reading, pro-
tests rather calamitously against re-
duction of passenger fares in Penn
sylvania, yet cannot really fear that
such reduction will interfere with
payment of the regular dividends on
Reading common, which is all water
and which now sells at about one hum
dred and five dollars against thirty
eight dollars only three years ago.
Under such conditions it is hard to
be really gloomy. There may be tears

The Hanna machine was a very good
machine in its day and when he hand
ed it down to Foraker and Dick it
was in tolerable order.
1t had become somewhat impaired
through the efforts of Mr.. Hanna, as
sisted by his distinguished legatees, to
bring it into use against the presiden
tial pretensions of Mr.. Roosevelt, but
the Foraker Dick combination believe
it can be repaired and made to dogood
service in the future mutations of the
fortunes of the man at the white house.
In the opinion of the chieftians of
the Roosevelt faction, the old Ohio ma
chine will not again afford an effective
rallying battlement for the enemies of
the administration and now that Mr..
Foraker has forced the fighting the
disposition is to make the test and do
it with bold purpose.
The president is disposed to assume
that the conflict in Ohio is between
himself and Mr.. Foraker and that it
will be best for him to take the first
shock of the collision and after he has
unhorsed his antagonist to turn over
the fruits of victory to the smilingly
willing Mr.. Taft. So the statesman Of
Ohio who are spelling for fight be
fore it is time to lock horns are likely
to be Accommodated.
With Mr.. Roosevelt in the saddle
and for his battle cry, remember the

not find much time forprancing around

teresting place in advance of the
