EUGENE'S MODEL STREET.

The town of Eugene. the Pendleton
Of the Willamette valley, is planning
to show her visitors and tourists a
model street this spring and with this
in view has announced some interest
ing features.
In the first place the street will be
made clean as a new house. 1t will
be cleared of rubbish, trash, debris,
tree limbs, leaves and other accumu-
lations; the nails in the sidewalks will
be driven down; new boards will re-
place old ones in the sidewalks:
fences and gates will be repalnted
and made new; telephone and tele-
graph poles in the street will be
painted a uniform color and all Of he
porch lights on the entire street will
be kept burning throughout the night.
This is a pace in civic cleanliness
which other Oregon towns might fol-
low with great profit. Nothing at
tracts a thrifty, progressive class of
citizens so much as clean, neat town.
Good streets are especially attrac-
tive as Pendleton can testify.
The experiment of Eugene will be
watched and will also be initiated by
other towns and it is hoped that she
is well repaid for her trouble by Sc
curing all the colonists and home
seekers she wants, this spring.
Pendleton's paved streets, as seen
from the o. R. & n. depot. have given
her more favorable advertising than
any other municipal improvement
ever made. People get out of the
passenger cars and look down the
full length of Main street and seeing
the paving and the busy appearance
of that street, at once begin to eX-
press wonder at the excellent appear
ance Of the city and this view has
caused many a good substantial citi-
zen from the east to stop off and look
over the country, with the result that
many have also been captivated by
the additional charms which they
found and are now citizens of Una
tilla county.

PERSECUTION WITH RESULTS.

Some flnanclers Of the country con-
tinue to wall about governmental
persecution" and advance the idea
that man may not become rich
without being suspected Of dishonesty
and that the persecution of the rich is
merely a political play.
Most of the prosecutions carried
on have had excellent grounds, and
the administration has been amply
justified in its attacks on predatory
corporations, and on rich men who
disobey the country's laws for their
own betterment.
That money is acquired by dishon-
est methods is not the sole crime of
unscrupulous "high flnanciers." They
have demoralized their subordinates,
lowered national standards of integ-
rity and compelled employees to be-
come partners with them in moral
delinquencies.

beside being OF inestimable service in
assisting the companies to improve
the service and to safeguard the pub
lie in every possible way.
SO the strong objections to the Gre
alton OF the commission have been
swept away in the service which it
has rendered to the state and to the
railroads and the East oregonian can
cheerfully urge the elecuon Of the
members of the commission who Will

THE PROHIBITION WAVE.

Will Irwin, in Golfers Weekly, re-
views the prohibition movement
throughout the United States in the
following able and practical man.
ner:
In the past two years, and especial
ly in the year 1907, the country has
awakened to realize that we have n
prohibition Wave" Not until Geor-
gia and Alabama had gone dry and
prohibition had become the main
issue in the tangled politics of Ken
lucky, did the public in general per-
ceive it.
Now, at the beginning Of the year
1908. nearly one-half the area of the
United States is dry; and more than
one-third of our people are living un-
der prohibitory laws. The movement
has gone further and faster in the
south than anywhere else; but it is
unfelt only in the Rocky mountain
region and in the central states Of the
Atlantic coast. Georgia is dry; Ala
bama has passed a prohibitory law;
Mississippi has followed just as this
article goes to press.
In Tennessee one can buy liquor in
but three small districts. Kentucky
has only four wholly wet" counties;
Texas is more than half dry: Missouri
and Arkansas, community by commu-
nifty, are falling into line the cleo
ton Of January IA in Shreveport fin
ished the manufacture and sale" in
the northern half Of Louisiana; 1t is
highly probable that within two years
one or both Of the Carolinas will vote
for statewide prohibition.
Starting from the seaboard at Geor-
gia, one can travel now to the bor-
ders of Colorado or New Mexico and
cross in passage only one narrow strip
Of wet territory-the delta counties
of Mississippi. Even these will be dry
by next January.
The movement has been only lit
tie less strong in the north. Maine,
Kansas and North Dakota are wholly
dry; but they came in on earlier move
ments. More recently great areas Of
Illinois and Indiana have come under
prohibition law. Ohio, which has al
ready gone dry in many spots through
ward and township local option, seems
on the point of passing a county To-
cal option law.
Nearly one-half the area Of Chica-
go is under ward prohibition laws.
and even where tfle movement for
absolute prohibition has had no effect,
cities and towns are showing a more
earnest disposition to enforce the old
old and haff-forgotten laws for regu-
lation Of the liquor traffic.
Why is It? What has been working
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-03-07

The pride of Pendleton will leave
but little rubbish to be cleaned from
the streets on the regular cleaning up

The real work will have been per-

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

When the matter of creating rail-
road commission for oregon was
mentioned at the last session of the
legislature. the East oregonian was
opposed to the movement, for the
reason that the former experience OIL
the state was unsatisfactory and also
on account Of the cost Of the com
mission in a state having but a com
paratiyely limited railroad mileage
But the results of the commissions
work have been such that much OF
the objection to the creation Of the
commissinon has been removed.
The commission has been great
benefit not only to the public and 10
the state at large, but also to the rail-
road companies themselves. the
toning up of the service, the improv-
ed regulations which have been put
in force at che suggestion of the COM
mission and the close watch kept by
the commission over the operations
Of the roads, have all combined to
save money and improve conditions
for the companies.
without this incentive It is likely
that the roads would have kept on in
the old way AS IT is they are thank
sul for many Of the suggestions which
fhey have received and honestly ap-
pteciate the help they have enjoyed
At the hands Of the commission.
The commission will perhaps save
n dollars and cents TO the people Of

PUBLICITY OF CONTRIBUTIONS

Washington. May 26.-when Score tary Taft reached his ofiice today he found a number of newspaper men charged with inquiry as to what an swer he intended to return to the invi- tation from William J. Bryan to join him in an effort to secure the enact ment of bill requiring publication or campaign contributions. The Score tary replied that he had not seen any communication from Mir. Bryan on this subject and in fact 1t was several hours later before the telegram reached him as follows:
 T beg to suggest that as leading candidates in our respective parties, we join in asking Congress to pass a biii requiring publication of campaign con tributions prior to election. If you think best we can ask other candidates to unite with us in the request
 (Stgnedo '"wm, J. Bryan"
 Secretary Taft had meanwhile and before he had received this telegram, had a talk with the President at the White House so that he was prepared immediately upon his return to the War Department to give out for publi- cation his answer, as follows: Hon. Wm. J. Bryan. Lincoln, Neb.:
 Your telegram received. On April 30, last I sent the following letter to Senator Burrows. the Chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections of the Senate:
 My dear Mir. Burrows-I sincerely believe that 1t would greatly tend to the absence of corruption in politics if the expenditures for nomination and election of all candidates and ali con- tributions received and expenditures made by political committees made public both report to state and nation al politics. For that reason am strongly in favor of the passage of the bill which Is now pending In the Senate and House bringing about this result so far as national politics are con cerned. I mark this letter personal be- cause am anxious to avoid assuming an attitude in the. campaign wl1ich 1t Is quite possible I shall never have the right to assuma, but so far as my per tous to give 1t for the passage of the bill. Very sincerely yours.
 Since writing the above. in answer to inquiry I have said publicly that I hoped such a bill would pass.
 (Signed.) 'Wm. H. Taft" following reply:
 Hon. W. H. Taft,
 Secretary of War.
 Washington, D. c.
 am very much gratifed to receive your telegram and trust the publica- ton of your letter will add the weiGeR necessary to turn the situation in tG- vor of the measure. Elections are pub lie affairs and publicity will help to purify politics.
