The East Oregonian is publishing
the truth. Pendleton will be a better

years the voters Of your city would
no more readmit the saloon than they
would favor the establishment of
sanitarium in their midst for the treat
ment of bubonic plague.
No voice is ever raised in extola-
ton of the curse Of rum, save the one
of greed. No man is ever praised for
his drunkenness or ability to debauch
himself and ruin his family and de-
stroy its happiness. No man is hon

who declares himself \ friend " the
initiative and referendum, argues that
the number Of measures 20 be submit
ted to the people at any one election
should be limited say 10 six. or per-
haps four. so that the people will not
have their attention divided among
So many measures.
He suggests that the legislature
adopt or propose such an amendment
and believes that It would be well re-
ceived and favorably acted upon by
the people.
This is one of the changes recon-
mended by Blue Mountain grange,
commented on a while back by the
Journal, and is probably a good one.
Let only a limited number of changes
those having the larger number Of pc
titioners, be voted on at one election,
and others wait
1t might also be well not to allow
a law or constitutional amendment
voted down at one election to come
up again under four or six years.

KEEP MONEY AT HOME.

The East Oregonian regrets to see
good Umatilla county money going
away from home for investment.
There are just as good irrigation pro-
jects here, just as good manufacturing
propositions here, just as good city in
vestments and all other kinds of in
viting investments as can be found in
any city Of this size in the northwest
and yet thousands of dollars are con-
stantly going away to be invested in
less profitable and more uncertain To-
cations.
If one-half Of the money that has
been accumulated from Umatilla coun-
" farms and stock herds were invest
ed in Umatilla county enterprises, this
would be the greatest manufacturing
center in the northwest.
But scarcely any of the accumula-
tions from Umatilla county's excellent
resources are reinvested here to keep
the ball rolling" Men make for
tunes here as quickly as possible and
then shake the dust of Umatilla
county and look elsewhere for places
to invest.
What is needle in Umatilla county
and especially in Pendleton, is a
storing stock of loyalty and home
pride for the city and county. While
we are investing our money at home,
We can not only enjoy good returns,
but we can help build up the coun-
ty and increase its facilities and
wealth. We can make money for our
selves and make it easy for others to
make money.
Let us not milk" the county and
hen run away. Let us put back into
he excellent investments some of the
money we have drawn out of the soil
md ranges and make Umatilla the
,anner manufacturing as well as the
.anner agricultural county of the
tate.

THE TIE THAT BINDS TRADE.

There are many ties which hold
communities together, commercially
but none stronger than the good roads
tie. People love good roads and will
travel long distances on a fine road to
do trading rather than travel a much
shorter distance over a bad or indif-
ferent road.
Pendleton understands this and un-
derstanding it should begin work to
improve the roads and facilities for
travel into the west end of the coun-
ty Along the ridges between this
city and Hermlston should run a fine
automobile boulevard, wide, well grad
ed, well kept and well surfaced, so the
trip by team from Hermiston to this
city would require but couple of
hours, and by automobile less than an
hour.
Nothing would bind the west end Of
the county to Pendleton more firmly
than this. This city is the logical and
natural trading, banking and CONNER
cial center Of the county and facilities
for travel must be improved and in
creased.
Another feature Of the good roads
question IS the enormous increase of
land values where roads are well kept.
At the good roads convention at
Stockton last Monday, George L. Coo
ley superintendent of construction
from the department of agriculture,
said that the public roads office is
invaluable as a source of general in
formation regarding land values in
the United States.
Through that office said superin-
tendent Cooley, 1--WE learn that the
percentage Of improved roads in Ar
kansas is seven-hundredths Of one per
cent. while the average land value is
1861 per acre; improved roads in
Indiana 35 per cent, land values
s54g1 per acre; improved roads in
Mississippi 3S-1O0 Of per cent, land
values 1854 per acre; improved
roads in Ohio 80 per cent, and land
values S5743 per acre. This shows
that where good roads exist, there
land values are highest"
In other words, the property Of the
landowners can be vastly increased in
value by the construction Of good
roads

EXPLAIN THE CANDLE-POWER.

In Illuminating circles one hears q
great deal about "candlepower" and
nearly everyone IL asked would in
stantly reply that a candle power was
the light given by a single candle
But candles differ in luminosity as
well as incandescent lamps, and can
dle-power is not one thing but sew
eral according to the country where
used.
In Great Britain and the United
States the standard light unit is the
amount given by "spermaceti can
die burning up at the rate of 12O
grains an hour with a flame As mill
meters high" or 1.76 inches. In
France the standard candle is made
of stearine. and Germany's candle
was, until few years ago, parafine.
Now the latter country uses the So
called Hefner unit of light. the
amount given by a certain form of
lamp burning acetate of amyl. An
other lamp standard, called the car
Gel, was used in France In this
purified rape seed oil is burned. Be-
cause of this unsatisfactory interna-
tional chaos it is now proposed that
our national bureau of standards at
Washington take steps to establish
a standard International candle
which would be acceptable to at least
nine countries.

LIMIT INITIATIVE LAWS.

The Oregon Daily Journal COM
mends the suggestion Of Judge Low
ell Of this city that the initiative laws
submitted by the people should be
limited to a small number in each
election. II something is not done to
check the matter the official ballot
will be as large as a Navajo blanket
in a few years.
There are a few meritorious meas-
ures which deserve a place on the
ballot, but there are many local and
selfish measures which do not deserve
a place on the ballot and county d.
vision bills are among this number.

\ VINDICATION.

The East Oregonian has just receiv.

pected letter from Portland. It is
written by a prominent mining man
of that city, a man of unquestioned
integrity and honor and one whose

complete vindication of the prohibi-
ton sentiment and the letter is print
ed without comment. Readers of the
East Oregonian may draw their own
conclusions:

PAPER TRUST
is MOST PERNlcioUs
Independent Journalism is Being
StrangIed in Its Loathsome
Clutches

A determined fight is being made In
the United States against the paper
II ust. During the last few years, this
o. ganization has become one of the
most firmly entrenched of all the bus
iness combinations of the country. In
The investigation at Washington it has
been shown that the trust has raised
the price of it's product enormously
AS a result of this many of the
newspapers of the country have been
forced to the wall, the latter being the
case with great many small publica-
tions.
Next to those trusts which deal in
the necessities of life the paper trust
is probably the most Ubiquitous. In
spie of the abuse heaped on a certain
class of newspapers-abuse by them
richly deserved-it is still true that
an age of enlightenment and freedom
has depended largely and chiefly on
the printing press. And most partic-
ularly has progress spread and the
newspapers become a real power since
{ onditions made it possible for every
che. no matter how poor, to acquaint
himself with the whole wide world
Of yesterday through the medium of
the paper of today.
