That is the question many sem

trying to answer, but their proph-

last of this month to the middle

and other republican leaders, are
expressing the hope that a vote
can be taken on the tariff bill
May IA. This would give two
weeks for the bill to go to con-
ference, and allow congress to
close June |. Others say the
vote will be delayed until the
first Of June, and that the senate
and house conferees will spend
a month agreeing on the amend

RULES ARE NEEDED.

In yesterdays issue of the East
Oregonian there was published a set
or rules governing the leasing of lands
upon the Umatilla reservation. These
rules were drafted by Supervisor Davis
with the intention of submitting them
to the department for adoption. How
ever it was stated that changes may
be made upon the presentation or
proper reasons by local men.
That the adoption of definite set
os rules governing the reservation
would be of benefit can scarcely be
questioned. Much of the trouble that
has arisen in the past has been due
to the fact that the rules of the gov
ernment were not sufficiently ex-
plicit. OF course in the administra-
ton of affairs upon the reservation
the agent should have some latitude
Sc he may be in position to make
some allowance for changing con-
ditions. But too much latitude is in
furious. 1t merely makes peculation
and favoritism possible.
An ideal administration of reser-
vation affairs would be one under
which the welfare of the Indians is
protected and the white renters are
treated with strict fairness. To rem
der such an administration is natur-
ally a difficult task for an agent, but
+: is a task that will doubtless be
made easier by the adoption by the
Indian department of a set of rules
along the line of those drafted by
Supervisor Davis.

dard and Standard loved Day. so what
could be more natural than for Day
to talk lovingly and for Standard to
give him a slight token of affection
in the form of the coin of the realm L?
but these love affairs between
universities and mllllonaires are dan
gerous. To put the matter with per-
feet frankness the love ought to be
all on one side. We expect and want
the millionaires to love the univer-
stiles, but the affection on the other
side either ought to be of the Platonic
sort of else il should be carefully con-
cealed. When a university president
gets to spooning in public like Day
did with standard oil, it makes the
country both merry and suspicious"
This is certainly true. The country

A TAINTED FOUNTAIN.

Not long ago the Syracuse univer-
sity was given 100000 Of Standard
oil money. The payment was made
by the notorious John D. Archibald
and was smilingly received by Chan
cellor Day, the same gentleman who
has often lauded the captains Of in
dustry" and John D. Rockefeller in
particular. He is the same individu-
a. who on several occasions undertook
t. criticlse ex-President Roosevelt for
his efforts to place curb on corpo-
rate greed.
Commenting upon this latest gift

lowing:
1T would be downright mean to
say that the goods had been delivered
and paid for, and It would not be ex-
actly true. We have no right to say
that Chancellor Day made a bargain
with the Standard OIL king. It was
simply a case where Day loved STAN

HOW IT REALLY WORKS.

Little VILLA Washington once read
a story about the boy who was look
ing for job, and seeing a sign,
"Boy Wanted" took the sign down
and went in and said to the boss,
Mister, here's your sign" And
when the boss angrily asked what
the boy meant by bringing in the
sign the boy replied, "Why, you don't
need it any more, for I'm the boy"
According to the story the man was
so impressed by the boys action that
he Immediately employed him, and
now that boy is general manager OF
the establishment and a half-owner,
too.
So Willie Washington started out
to look for job. When he saw a
sign boy Wanted" he took 1t down
and marched proudly into the office
of the establishment.
Mister, here is your sign," proud
ly exclaimed Willie.
"What'n thunder do you mean by
taking down my sign and Juggling it
in here, you impudent little rat!"
shouted the irate man.
why, certainly you need it no long
er, SIR" said Willie seeing that
am the boy"
A minute later Willie struck the
sidewalk in a heap, and a red-faced
man, muttering things to himself,
tackled up against the front of the
building a sign which read, boy
Wanted"
Thus did Willie Washington ac-
cumulate the first lesson in expert
ence. A little later he knew better

THE FRATERNAL LIFE.

During the Knights of Pythias
grand lodge session in this city a
good demonstration was given of the
fraternal spirit-a spirit that makes
the world better and brighter AS
sembled in the grand lodge were sew
eral hundred men from all portions
of the state and from all walks or
life They came together for a COM
mon purpose, the advancement of the
order to which they belong. Some of
those in the throng have attended
the sessions regularly for over a quar-
ter of a century The fact that they
have attended so consistently is at
once a tribute , to their own stead
fastness and to the merits of the or
der.
Aside from the Knights of Pythias
there are other orders doing similar
work. These orders all have for their
first principles the elevation of man.
kind and the promotion of the idea
that all men are part of one great
brotherhood. These orders combined
make a great allied army of frater-
nifty that fights silently yet stead
lily for the betterment of the world
The influence welded is so great and
so far reaching as to be almost in
comprehensive. Few of those even
within the charmed circles really
know the true extent of the good
work that is done.
Often it occurs that men are saved
from ruin and despair by the golden
ties that link them to their fellow
men. There are men who would have
gone down into the whirl pool of dis
aster had it not been for the succor
given them by fellow members of-some
fraternal order. No man ever Joined
a great fraternal organization and
listened to it's ritualistic ceremonies
without being uplifted thereby. The
man wrote well who said:
"If I could write one little word
Upon the hearts Of men
I'd dip into the fount Of love
And write with golden pen
One little word and only one
And all the world would speak to
me
That one great word Fraternity"

THE ESSENTIAL THING.

1t matters not a whit whether
members of the school board are re-
publicans, democrats, socialists or pro-
hibitionists. But it is essential that
the members should be capable men
and men who are willing to work to-
gether earnestly for the best inter-
ests of the schools of the city. The
members of the local board, new and
old, are men of high personal stand
ings and here's hoping that they will
all render honest, faithful service and
remember that they are servants of
the people Of the city and not of par
tisan or factional cliques.

Not What He Exnected.

A certain busy merchant, almost
worried to death by the persistent at

suddenly wheeled around in his chair
and demanded:
"Is your life insured?"
"Of course, SIR"
I'm case of your death, who bene-
fits?"
my wife, SIR"
HIN! Send your wife to me-"
Rather puzzled, the agent withdrew
but, being man who did not stick at
times, he persuaded his wife to call on
the merchant.

chant, when the lady called. Il un-
derstand your husbands life is in
sured?"
THAT is So"
"And that you would be entitled to
claim in the event Of his death?"
Certainly"
"Then, madam, If you can prevail
upon your husband to visit me once
more-only one, mind-I'll see you
don't have long to wait for your
money. That's ALL Good morning"
The insurance agent didn't call
again.

Los ANGELES WATER WORKS.

Amid the maze of arguments that
has followed the attempt of San Fran
cisco to acquire a municipal water
supply has come clear aud convinc-
ing message from Los Angeles. 1t is
the plain recital of that city's eXpe-
rience as the owner of its water
works. 1t tells of success so COM
plete as to point the way for every
American municipality that stin en-
dures the domination of private con-
troll.
The Los Angeles project has been
almost spectacular in its financial re-
suits. Rates to the consumer have
been cut more than half AT the same
time the profits have been so great
that they are not only paying for the
original system, but providing for vast
enlargements and yielding funds for
the new owens river aqueduct. Water
to the value of $15O,OO0 is utilized an
nually for city purposes without
charge.
With data gathered from the official
records has come from an unchal-
lengable source a brief summary of
the administration of the Los Angeles
water works. The authority, who
writes with full and accurate knowl-
edge, says:
The city purchased the system seven
or eight years ago, since which time
there have been three separate reduc-
tions in the rate to consumers, am
ounting in the aggregate to large con-
sumers to SO 1-2 per cent; to small
consumers, 65 per cent Sixty per
cent of the service is now metered,
with a rate of cents per 100 cubic
feet to all consumers; and an average
flat rate to consumers where no me-
ter is used of $1.55 per month.
Since taking over the system the
receipts have paid all operating and
maintenance expenses, have paid in
terest and sinking fund on the water
works bonds amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars), have paid
$3,654,730.53 for mains, reservoirs,
pumping plants and other improve
ments, and have paid 100000 inter-
est and sinking fund on the aqueduct
bonds.
The water department has balance
with the city treasurer of $111,7S4.66.
The average net yearly income since
the city took possession of the works
in 1902 has been $727S95, For 1908
81, q, ,.,,.-r q n 49,, =, s ,,o,.n 81 nt- oA1 Oe.
the net earning after interest on the
bonds, maintenance and sinking fund
expenses had all been paid. $S24,694,-
SS. The net earnings in face of the
fact that a reduction to consumers of
over so per cent has been effected,
are certainly remarkable.
The auditor of the water department
informs me that no account is made
of the water used by the city for pub
lie purposes, which runs into a very
large aggregate, his estimate being
$15O,O0O worth per apnum at the reg
ular meter rate. Such water would,
of course, be paid for by the city if
the works were not owned by the mu-
nicipality.
The system is managed by a special
water board. and to the efficiency of
its membership is attributed in large
degree the vast measure of success
attained. General NJ. H. Sherman, Of
the Los Angeles Pacific raidway COM
pany who is a member of the board,
and William Mulholland, superintend-
ent of the plant, have been particularly
active in the management of the water
plant.-San Francisco Call.
