FASTENING THE DAY.

A miserable local sheet known am
ong other things for the avidity with
which it llcks the toes OF the Pacific
Power & Light company, or Of any
other corporation that may throw Ii
a bone, tries to charge the East Ore
gonian with "purloining" credit for
the proposed reduction in light
rates.
Il Is imbecilic rot. The subject Of
lower light rates for Pendleton was
brought tefore the Commercial club
managers by DR.. c. J. Smith, who
acted upon his own initiative and
without consulting soul, as far as
This paper knows. Since that time
the matter has been handled by the
city interests committee Of which T
G. Montgomery is chairman. The
committee has confined its effapts so
far to ordering that thorough in
vestigation Of the subject Of cleo
tricity and gas charges be made by
Secretary Jack Keefe.
News stories telling Of these facts
have been published by the East
Cregonian and this paper has en-
dorsed the movement editorially. II
does so still but this paper has never
by single word claimed credit for
the move The investigation should
be- completed no matter what the
electrical company has done or may
DO. The electrical company and its
manager are on one side OF the game,
the people Of Pendleton on the
other The people are foolish II they
do not look out for themselves.
The asiuine feature Of this whole
affair is that anyone should resent
the fact that the Commercial club is
to Investigate the prices paid for
electricity and gas in this city as
compared with the prices paid else
whore. The people pay the bills, If
they haven't the right to investigate
the subject then for Gods sake who
has. On what meat has the Pacific
Power & Light company fed that 1t
should swell up and become 80 arro-
giant? Why should It's journalistic
pup be set a-yelping just because the
people of Pcndleton, through their
commercial organization, are going
to find out, In a buslnesslike way,
whether or not they pay too much
for electricity and gas? Plainly this
is no way for public service corpor-
alton to act in this day and age.
Every time Il corporation acts In such
a manner 1t but hastens the day Of
governmental regulation Of corpor-
ations-a day that Is already at the
dawn in Oregon.

II It be blessed to be meek and
lowly the community Of Weston IS in
debted to the state Of Oregon for
teaching It humility. This town once
had a state normal, and while we are
all trying to forget the fact, and 10
close our eyes TO the vacant build
ings circumstances are sure TO arise
which recall unpleasant recollections
Of the manner in which the state has
sat down upon us and squelched us.
Passing over the long history Of the
sch0ols's trials and vicissltudes-it
wag closed time or two through leg
lslative whims and never knew from
one biennial term TO another wheth-
er It would survive or perish--let US
relate that during It's final death
struggle In the cad springtime Of
1909 the people OF Weston were call
ed upon to save It's teachers from
starvation and its graduating class
from the threatened loss Of their di-
plomag. They came nobly to the reg
cue with fund Of $4,000. They had
done SO frequently before and had
the habit And here let IT be inter-
polated that although the people Of
Weston were often held up TO scorn
and Obloquy by the esteemed Oregon

IN WoRKING TRIM.

That the Pendleton commercial
club is now in working trim and 's
busy has been frequently shown OF
late and it was demonstrated by the
enthusiastic gathering for the month
ly luncheon last evening. Secretary
Eee.e is making good in his position
and he has only started. As he be-
comes more and more familiar with
the situation his value 70 the com
munity viii be increased. All that
is needed is the loyal cooperation Of
the business people OF the town.
Everybody should belong 10 the Com
mercial club and every member
should get in and work. If there are
differences Of opinion let them be ex-
pressed frankly and if there must be
scraps then let them come but keep
such things within proper limits
Members should never lose their
sense of proportion. The object Of
the Commercial club is to advance
the interests Of Pendleton and there
Is no one too small or too big to join
in such work

tering wedge.
BY Ackerman's orders, in 1903. the
normal school plant at Weston was
gutted Of nearly everything il con-
tained Of value. It's expensive and
handsome equipment was sold for a

caused an inventory to be made of
the few goods remaining, with a view.
doubtless, to their similar disposition.
But right here let it be said that Wes-
ton has grown tired Of the saving
grace Of humility. He VIII not get
these goods except by armed force,
with a detachment of the state mi
litia. Weston is holding them as Sc
curity for its unpaid claim.
