TEUToNIC EFFICIENCY.

Cortlandt Field Bishop. president
of the Aero club of New York, brings
this one back from Europe free of
duty.
AN American motorist went to
Germany in his car TO the army ma
neuvers. He was especially Impress
ed with the German motor ambu-
lances. AS the tourist watched the
maneuvers from a seat under tree
the axle of one of the motor ambu
lances broke Instantly the man
leaped out, ran into the village, re-
turned in a jiffy with new axle, fix
ed it in place with wonderful skill.
and teuffed-teuffed off again almost
as good as new.
That's efficiency for you,' said the
American admiringly. There's Ger
man efficiency for you No matter
what breaks, there's always a stock
at hand from which to supply the
needed part
And praising the remarkable in
stance of German efficiency he had
just witnessed. the tourist returned to
the village and ordered up his car.
But he couldn't use it. The axle was
missing. g."-Everybody's

interests. II opposes the ship sub
sdy plan and favors the conserva-
ton policy. IN other words this pa
per has Progressive" tendencies and
dislikes "Standpatism." But this Is
not particularly a partisan matter.
The most conspicuous Progressive
leaders at this time are republicans.
As for party names this paper does
not care a rap especially in state and
local politics, The East Oregonian
would as soon support a republican
for office as democrat. In the past
it has helped many good republicans
become elected and doubtless it will
do the same in the future. In the
personality of candidates this paper
is Interested, as is enmiently proper.
But as to their party affiliations it
does not care any more than it cares
about their religious beliefs or about
the color of their hair.
The East oregonian is opposing the
assembly scheme because it believes
that plan looks to the restoration of
bossism in this state and that If it
succeeds Oregon will go back into the
dark hole of political corruption
from which it but recently ascended.
Furthermore it may be added here
that in the humble view of this paper
the best interests of the republican
party in Oregon demand the squelch-
ing of the assembly scheme. Nothing
could work so much to the advantage
of the minority party and tend to
place democrats in office than for the
republican party to take up with the
assembly idea.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-01-22
THE PROBABLE COST.

One of the arguments used most
frequently by the brigade that is
knocking the traction movement is
the statement that the money to be
raised locally will be sufficient to do
all the work the company will do in
this vicinity. Some of the "antis''
are saying with much gravity that
electrical roads may be built for
$4,000 or $4,000 per mile.
Now the East Oregonian is not an
authority upon the cost of electric
roads and 1t does not wish to pose as
an authority. preferring to have peo-
pie investigate such matters for
themselves But the information this
paper has all tends to the belief that
there is absolutely nothing to the
charge that Pendleton's s5O,000 will
be sufficient to pay for the work to
be done in this city. The traction
men say it will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 per mile to build
their road They point out that the
Salem-Portland electric road cost this
sum per mile and also call attention
to the fact that the Walla Walla-
Milton line is assessed at $1,000 per
mile. the assessment being based
largely upon figures furnished by the
officers of the company owning that
line. According to Mr.. FitzGerald
lPendleton's $4,000 will not be suf-
ficient to pay more than one third or
one forth the cost of the work the
COMPANY is to do here. That this i:
true is indicated by the fact that the
directors of the company give bond
to spend at least 100000 within two
years in this vicinity and in develop
ing their power.
As the East Oregonian understand
the matter the traction company doe'
not want the local money to use il
building their road. They will dt
their work before they get any loca
money The $4,000 is intended t.
meet deficit the company expect
to face during the first few years it
road is in operation. That the road
even with interurban connections
will have to be operated at a loss 70
several years seems plain. If so is
mot entirely reasonable that the trac
ton men should want local people t
assist them in sharing this loss?
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-01-22
is NOT THIS TRUE?

In the traction movement a fight
is on between the progressive and the
ultra elements within the
city. The success or failure Of the
will depnd upon which ele-
ment obtains the mastery next week.
The East Oregonian contends, as 1t
has contended before, that the pro-
gressive course is the proper one
the only course for Pendleton to take.
Owing to various reasons the growth
of the city has been practically at
standstill during the past few years
Now If the city is to go forward local
people must get busy, the town will
not grow unless the proper steps are
taken to make it grow. Local people
and especially the monied men, must
show spirit Of enthusiasm and Of
liberality in backing enterprises that
promise TO work for the city's ad-
vancement. They must continue to do
just as they did with the wooden mill.
II people refuse to do this but on the
other hand take narrow and ultra
conservative attitude there is grave
danger that Pendleton will not only
remain at standstill but will become
affected with dry rot"

The fact that many of the potatoes
were frozen in the ground in this re-
gion and more or less throughout the
Willamette valley was not due to
"shiftlessness, that is so easy to
charge up against Oregon farmers
when disaster through weather over
takes their crops. During November
the potato-dig month, the rain
fell in torrents almost without inter-
mission. Let any one who thinks 1t
is either pleasant or profitable to dig
potatoes in the rain try it. Then came
the untimely freeze in early Decem-

FOR PENDLEToN'S SAKE.

When the Commercial association
committee goes out Monday to raise
the money that is needed to secure
the traction system Pendleton will be
put to a test-to the most severe test
in many years. How will it be met?
There are many who believe the
needed $4,000 will be raised with
tcomparative ease. They remember
that local citizens subscribed $4,000
To take the wooden mill bonds last
rinter and so they imagine the pres
ent task an easy one. 1t really
should be when the interests at stake
are considered.
But unfortunately the situation at
this time is not as hopeful as it
should be. There are forces that are
working silently yet shrewdly and
more or less effectively against the
traction enterprise. Those who are
opposing are prompted by different
motives. There is a heavy influence
that may be traced to the door of the
Northwest Gas G. Electric company.
why this influence is being used
against the new enterprise is obvi-
Gus. Some are opposing the traction
movement because of political or fac
eional animosities while others are
against It because they are possessed
hy foolish pessimism or too much con-
servatism. In the judgment of the
East Oregonian there are but few
men who are opposing the traction
enterprise because they fear it is not
rneritorious. How anyone could OPP
pose the proposition on such grounds
under the circumstances this paper Is
at "a loss to understand.
Yet the fact stands out that there
is opposition to the traction enter
prise or at least in certain quarters
the movement is not receiving the
support that it justly merits. Wha'
the final outcome will be the Eas
oregonian does not know. At this
time it is only the truth to say tha
the success of the movement is still
n doubt
In order to have the movement sue
eeed the business people and moniet
men of this city. great and small
must get together; they must la!
aside all cheap and unworthy preju
diees and be guided alone by civi'
patriotism. For the sake Of Pen
dleton and for the Pendleton of thu
future they must drop their petit!
euarrels and differences. If peopl
will but do this the success Of thi
enterprise will be assured and thi
city and every business man AM
property owner within it will be bene
fitted.

GOOD PHILOSOPHY.

The objection to conforming to
usages that have become dead to you,
is. that it scatters your force. 1t
loses your time, and blurs the I'M
preston of your character. If you
maintain a dead church, contribute
to a. dead Bible society, vote with
great party either for the govern
ment or against it-under these
screens. 1 have difficulty to detect the
precise man you are. And of course
so much force is withdrawn from
your proper life. Do your work, and
you shall reinforce yourself. "A man
must consider what blindman' s.
buff is this game of conformity. For
non on-conformity the world whips you
with its displeasure. Another terror
that scares us from self-trust is our
consistence; a reverence for our past
act or word. But why drag about
| this monstrous corpse of your mem
| ory. A foolish consistency is the hob
goblin of little minds.-Ralph waldo
