WILL 1T SUCCEED?

The election of young men upon
the Commercial association board of
managers was in the nature of a re-
volt against the old order of things.
Doubtless the matter went too far.
The young men did not intend to ask
for so many positions upon the board.
They merely wanted a proper repre-
sentaton. But then it is the history
OF revolts that they usually go too
far. Nevertheless they are very
wholesome sometimes. Whether or
not the present uprising will be of
benefit to Pendleton is going to de-
pend upon the members of the new
board. The success Of the revolution
cannot really be measured at this
time. We can tell about that a year
hence.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-02-02
1T Is \ WORTHY CAUSE.

In many, many ways the Pendleton
public library is an excellent insti-
tuition. 1t is very fair library al
ready. as public libraries go and it is
gradually being improved by the adj
dition of new books and other equip
ment. The library is also under most
capable management. This manage
ment is seeking in every possible way
t. make the library do the maximum
amount of good in this community.
The East Oregonian believes they are
succeeding and succeeding well.
These lines are to preface a word or
two regarding the library ball to be
given Thursday evening. The ball is
In be given by the club ladies Of the
city to raise money with which 10 as
sist in financing the library during
the coming year. The commission
finds it necessary TO raise some money
by this means Perhaps they Shouts
not have TO give social affair tc
raise money for such an institution
iFerhaps the city, by taxation, should
raise all the money needed by the
| library But this is not the question
now. The city government is not
meeting all the expenses and. the
the remainder of the money by the
best means at their disposal. Surely
they have acted wisely in arranging
their ball for in this way they are pro.

al the same time they will secure

company has a franchise and should
go ahead with its work. If it is not
a good enough enterprise for them to
undertake alone, some say, then they
should leave the scheme alone.
But this criticism is not well made.
OF course it would be preferable if the
company could go ahead without local
aid. IL would have been better could
the woolen min company have re-
Established its plant without local aid.
IN would have been better had the
Northern Pacific branch line been
built to Pendleton without local aid
But it is the history of nearly all
opterprises of this character that in
order to make them 90 they must get
be,n from local people, For instance
n traction company cannot float
bond issue sufficiently large to raise
ab the money needed for its enter
nrise 1t must have strength to start
with before it can finance any such
project. This being the case is 1t not
nerfectlv natural that the Washing
Oregon company should ask Pen
dleton people to take some Of their
stock and thus aid them in their en-
terprise? Pendlet6n is deeply inter-
ested in the proposition.
There is nothing to the criticism
that Pendleton should not help fl
nance the traction company. 1t Is
eminently proper that Pendleton peo-
n,o should do this very thing. If a
traction system is established such as
the Washington Oregon company pro-
poses local people will be well repaid
for any assistance they give the COM
pany.

LIVE UP TO THE TRUST.

4 splendid opportunity is that open
to ". l. Thompson and to the other
newly elected officers Of the Com
mercial association. There is some
great work ahead for the coming
year and the men who have been Sc
lected TO lead the Commercial asso-
citation have been signally honored.
They have been trusted with the
leadership at a critical time.
Just at present the traction move
uent is the one issue of all absorb
ing interest, in the city. The fight
that is now on for traction system
is undoubtedly the greatest fight ever
made for the advancement of Pen
dleton. In the present good prospects
for the success Of the movement there
is splendid hope.
But after the traction movement
has been put through there will be
other work to do. Pendleton needs
many things. II the town is TO go
ahead We must go after" these things
and go after them with energy and
determination. The time calls for
forward and aggressive action on the
part Of the local people. TmidIty
pessimism and ultra conservatism
