PROBING WALL STREET

II RUE to his promises before reelection, Gov
- ernor Hughes has started to investigate
Wall street and its methods. The inquiry will
be exhaustive.
During the campaign there was much opposi-
ton TO the reelection Of Governor Hughes on the
part of the interests, for fear that he would really
do what he said-that is, probe into the methods
pursued by the big guns in the nations financial
center.
The governor has appointed an inquiry COM
mission consisting of seven well qualified persons
Chairman of the commission is the venerable
Horace White, for many years an editor of the
New York Evening Post, and one of the foremost
writers on financial questions in the country
Another is Professor John b. Clark, of Columbia
University, a noted authority on political econ
omy Other commissioners are men actively en-
gagged in financial pursuits They are connected
with banks trust companies and other business
enterprises
The composition of the commission, therefore,
indicates that there is no plan to harm Wall
street interests, but there is desire to bring
about a reformation Of practices of the street The
commission purposes calling directors OF the
Stock Exchange and other manipulators to
testify but under the present plan there is no
way in which the witness can be forced TO give
testimony. 1t will have TO be voluntary on their
part, and much of the evidence will be negative.
The sale OF stocks, margins and general speou-
laton in securities and commodities will be cN-
amined Probably the commission may be able
to throw some light on the panic and the de-
pressed business conditions which prevailed
throughout the country They may be able to
explain who is responsible for halt in industry
when money is plentiful and when the real wealth
has been produced from the earth in unparalleled
abundance. The commissioners may be able TO
tell whether the panic was an artificial ono,
created by manpulators, or whether it was
natural To the average man it looks as il the
panic was artihoially caused Having set the
machinery OF industry out of running those who
did the deed were unable to restore normal condi-
nons
Wall street. especially OF late, has been the sub
ject Of countless articles and many speeches, most
of which are not very Illuminating Therefore the
commissioners may clear the way. They should
summon President Roosevelt as a witness. His
testimony might prove instructive. 1t would
certainly be interesting The President could
beard the bulls and bears in their dens, and then
tackle the African lions and monkeys

LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE.

The Pendleton Tribune says the peo-
pie Of Oregon have enacted a vacuum
in the adoption of the initiative law
requiring the legislature to indorse the
peoples choice for United states sem
ator.
Inasmuch as this measure received
a majority of about $4,000 votes, it is
evident that all of the democrats and
great big. overwhelming majority
OF the republicans of oregon want
just such a vacuum and 1t is safe to
say that but very few candidates for
the legislature will dare to defy this
vacuum-loving people hereafter.
The enactment of statement No. l.,
or the popular election of senators in
to law may not be precisely in accord
ance with the views of the old states
men who framed the constitution 1926
years ago. but it is evidently in ac-
cordance with the views Of Goth GEN.
tury republicans.
The country has outgrown other
things beside the constitution. The
spinning wheel, the canal boat, the OK
team, the coonskin cap and flint-lock
rifle have all been outgrown. Have
the people made material progress to
remain stationary, mentally? Does
not the social, religious and political
life of a nation make progress equally
with the material life?
VIII a constitution adopted back in
the last half of the 18th century sat-
isfy a virile nation which is now using
SO many modern conveniences and so
many modern customs that It sets
ones head in a whirl to think of it?
Because the constitution still de-
clares that the old fogy notions are
proper will not hold back a progress
sive and liberty-loving people. The
constitution has not been changed
long before this, simply because it
that little handful of leaders
who profit by having laws by which
they may dictate to the whole people.
Let us have more vacuums enact
ed by the sovereign people. Nothing
could be more empty than some of the
laws pasesed by the all-wise and boo
dle-soaked legislatures of Oregon dur
ing the past quarter of a century. Let
Us try new kind of vacuum.

PROPERTY RIGHTS"

4 loud complaint is set up by the
liquor dealers, that the prohibition
lists have voted their roofs from over
their heads" that their PROPERTY has
been confiscated and that the right"
to hold property has been placed in
jeopardy.
Listen. Before the war the editor
of the East Oregonian's grandfather
was worth s15O,OOO in property" but
that property consisted in negro
slaves. The war simply swept away
everything he owned except mis- land.
Because his money was invested in a
precariOus property" a property"
which society said could not exist, for
society's good, he was left without a
scratch of pen to show that he ever
owned any property"
So with the liquor business. As
slavery was wrong, so is the liquor
business wrong and as slavery was
swept away by society so will the
liquor traffic and every cent invested
in it be swept away.
It has no economic value. 1t pro-
duces nothing. Society will not toll
crate it longer
So there is no confiscation, no in
reference with boasted rights" It
is simply a settlement of the great
ethical question of right and wrong
and as in every contest of this kind,
wrong is vanquished and right is su-
preme.
If men are engaged in a business
upon which the better judgment of
society places the ban, they must suf-
fer the consequences. Society must
protect itself and every good citizen
ic equally responsible to see that pro-
per protection is afforded.

PLEASED WITH PROHIBITION.

The local vote on prohibition was
surprise to many as Monument has
had a reputation of being a morally
far advanced town, and this precinct
had been counted on to at least give
a close vote on the issue, says the
Monument Enterprise.
Four years ago 1t was voted dry
by a small margin, but the vote was
declared illegal on technicalities.
However It is gratifying to know
that the county as a whole has fav-
ored prohibition; although the tenn
perance majority is small it still
shows the trend of public opinion.
We doubt not that there were
some men voting for the saloon who
did so because they believed it to be
for the best interest of the country.
This class of men we can look for to
assist in making the law OF the ma
jority effective and successful

Sell Booze Election Day.

Two arrests were made Monday for
the illegal use Of liquor on election
day. The offense took plave at Red
mond and when the Law and Order
league heard of 1t Immediately took
steps to prosecute. \ complaint was
sworn to before Justice Jones by
John Tuck Of Redmond. Warrants
were issued at once for the arrest Of
b. Puett Of Prineville and u. T. Me-
Clay of Redmond. These men had a
hearing before Justice Jones on Tues

Literature TO Accompany Fruit.

On recommendation of II. B. Scud-
der the publicity committee of the
Yakima Commercial club will execute
most unique idea of advertising the
Yakima valley this summer, says the
Yakima Republic. Printed slips tell
ing of the merits of the Yakima val
ley are to be furnished every fruit
grover and commission merchant in
the valley.
These slips will be placed in every
box of apples, peaches and every 9TH
er kind of fruit shipped from the
Yakima valley. Just a few terse SEN
fences will be printed on the slips, but
the system will furnish a wider means
of publicity work than any other
which has so far been followed.
Yakima fruit is shipped to nearly
every part of the globe and when con-
sumers receive the fruit this year they
will also receive a slip telling all
about the country in which it is
grown.

cidcnt on Monday, says the Crook
County Journal. Bushey was saddlng
a horse and had put the saddle on

STOPPING down to- pick it up the horse
reared backward and fell upon the

picked up after the accident the
bones of the right leg were found
protruding through the flesh, making
what the doctors call a compound
fracture. DR.. Belknap, who is attend

recovery are against his patient.

MONEY FOR UMATILLA COUNTY

When the department of agriculture
began sending federal stock inspector;
into eastern Oregon many stockmen
complained that this was an interfer-
ence with their business. They main-
tanned that compulsory dipping would
break them up.
But the government persisted. Slow
ly the bureau of animal industry "in-
vaded" the sheep ranges and slowly
the scab began to disappear where for
80 years before the ranges had never
been entirely free from it. Then the
sheepmen saw that they were making
money by having clean, sheep and now
they "swear by" the federal stock in
spectors and their work.
And so with every other reform.
Farmers now scorn the efforts Of the
railroad company to "show" them how
to farm.
But when these same farmers learn
that the railroad company is trying to
put money into their pockets, they
will change their attitude toward the
demonstration trains. They will run
after scientific information where they
now run away from it. Reforms come
slowly and you simply have to catch
many people and force it down their
throat.

LITTLE INDUSTRIES PAY.

1t is an Industrial shame, il such a
thing can exist, to force a creamery
in Pendleton to ship in cream from
Wallowa county, $50 miles distant to
supply the local demand for sweet
cream and butter.
With all the rich pasture and alfal-
IA lands Of Umatilla county it seems
that enough people could be induced
to milk COWS at a good profit, to sup
Ply a local creamery. But this has
not been done as yet.
Figures from one milk ranch Of the
dry foothill district Of Union county
for the past year, have just been given
out and these figures prove that doz-
ems Of small farmers could build up
handsome industries in Umatilla coun-
ty by the same methods.
A young man named Coch living
east Of Ia Grande a few miles kept
a record Of his cream production dur
ing the past year and 1t shows that
during that period he has had an in
come Of 1926 from 20 cows, or s5.15
'per month from each COW for the en-
tire year.
He has conducted his farm besides.
has paid but little attention to hts
dalrying, and it cost but little more to
keep the COWS while milking them
than 1t would have cost had he al
lowed them to run idle on the range.
There are dozens Of places within a
few miles Of Pendleton creamery
where small farmers could engage in
this business and make handsome
profits. Five dollars per month the
year around from a common grade of
COW is a remarkable record, but there

An Alarming Condition.

A Portland physician has discov-
cred that high collars won by women
produce cancer of the throat. We
might also add that low-necked
dresses produce pneumonia, corsets
produce heart disease and shortness
of breath, long skirts gather up
germs of all infectious diseases, thin
soles produce consumption and tight
shoes cause the toes to grow together
and looking at bright millinery caus-
es sore eyes. Women should be care
full about these things.-Skamanla
County Pioneer.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-06-10

is no reason why Pendleton creamery
should not be paying out from $4,000
to $4,000 per month for butter fat to
farmers of Umatilla county,
Because an industry seems little is
no sign that 1t does not pay big, Talk
about Umatilla county having nothing
to offer men with small means. There
are scores of industries here for the
snan farmer. All we lack is the small
farmer.
