FIND OUT AROUT IL.

1t will be worth while for local peo-
pie to fully investigate the Spokane
rate decision and the possibilities to
Pendleton opened as a result of that
decision
The Commercial club might accom-
plish some practical good by devot-
ing an evening or a luncheon to
discussion of this subject. Men who
understand the subject should be in
vited to explain it and to point out
PATHS that will be opened to this city
as result OF the ruling.
1t is inevitable that the jobbing
business at present enjoyed by the
coast cities is to be broken up to
some extent. Wholesalers dealing in
certain lines may now operate in
cities such as Pendleton because we
will have rates equal to those grant
ed Portland. Portlanders already re-
alize this and are urging that Port
land jobbers establish distributing
depots in eastern Oregon If they do
this then their branch houses for
eastern Oregon should be established
in Pendleton. This is the geographi-
cal and commercial center of eastern
Oregon.
The decision just given by the in
terstate commerce commission is of
far reaching Importance. 1t is gen.
orally recognized that the decision is
but a forerunner of others yet to
come Commissioner Lane has prac-
ticaliy said Is much. 1t is entirely
probable that in time the present
method of rate making will be COM
pleteiy changed and the interior cit
les granted lower railroad rates than
are enjoyed by the coast cities. Il
will be only equitable if they are Civ
en- such rates. Railroad rates should
be based on distance. The excuse Of
meeting water competition cannot
prevail much longer It simply means
robbing the interior for the benefit
o: the coast. Such system cannot
prevail under governmental regula-
tion.

BEAUTY TELLS

Miss Ame Bingham, president of
the Professional Woman's league,
said at recent luncheon in New
York
Times are changing for the bet
ter but in our sex it is still the pretty
and frivolous that succeeds rather
than the sensible and hardworking.
II recall the story of the Gerton
girls. The four Gerton girls were all

bility and horse sense what she lacked

ed unable to decide which to marry.
SO Annie put on her thinking cap,
and. one evening when the young
chap called, she appeared with her
pretty arm bare to the elbow and
her hands white with flour.
oh, you must excuse my ap-
pearance,' she said. I have been
working in the. kitchen all day. 1

young man. He looked at her. deep

ment's thought, he said:
Miss Annie, there is a question I
wish to ask you, and on your answer
will depend much of my lifes happi-
ness
Yes she said with a blush, and
she drew a little nearer. Yes What
is it?'
Miss Annie said the young man.

At the time the gas franchise was
granted the East oregonian urged
that ii was too liberal 10 the company
and consistently opposed it, The
maximum rate allowed was too high.
As a result of the agitation the fran
chise was improved to some extent,
but it was sun an unfair proposition.
As result Pendleton people have
been paying eXorbiJant prices for
sas both for illuminating and cook
ing purposes. We pay about three
times as much for gas as they do in
Portland and far more than they pay
in Walla Walla The price of gas
for Illuminating purposes is so high
here THAI its use is really barred. But
the company does not care. II can
sen electricity. So long as they get
the money they do not worry.
But the whole thing is rankly un-
just and the trouble may all be charg-
ed to the electric companys domina-
ion Of our city government
Just now the company is pulling
strings TO keep the council from or
dering the overhead wires to be re-
moved from Main and Court streets.
They have good hold on affairs and
they may get away with the job for
the time being.
But it viii not be for long. \ city
election will be held within a few
months At that time an ordinance
aholishing the overhead wires may be
passed under the initiative and Incl
Gentally people will have a ch9nce to
say what they think of certain city
officials
Watch for it. II will be lots of
fun

WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

One of the worst features about
our present style of city government
i that it is extremely difficult to get
good men to run for office. Many
men well qualified to be mayor or
u, serve as councilmen fight shy of
such positions. At times it is ex-
tremely hard to find any one at all
t. run for councilman from a ward.
At the last city election there was but
one contest over a councilmanic po-
siton. II was between Joe Ell and
r. H Wilcox in the third ward. In
tie remaining three wards of the city
the councilmen chosen were unop-
posed and people We're glad to get
them to accept the positions. How
ever, in the first ward the council
man-elect refused to serve and his
place had to be filled by appoint
ment.
The reason for this situation seems
plain We ask our public servants TO
do a vast amount Of work for moth
ing. They must work hard, if they
do their duty, and they must face
criticism. We do not pay them
a cent. Is it any wonder the average
man will refuse when asked to run
for mayor or for councilman?
The commission form Of govern
ment looks TO remedying the evils Of
our present system. Under the COM
mission plan we could have three
public servants Instead Of nine as at
present. 1t is easier to find three
good men than to find nine good
men. Then under the commission
plan the officials are given reason
able salaries so are paid for the work
they do. Paid men do better and
more consistent work than do men
who work for nothing.
The adoption OF the commission
form Of government by Pendleton
would mean many things. 1t would
make It easier to induce good and
capable men to take public positions,
j. would bring men Of bigger calibre
into office, II would concentrate re-
sponsibility and it would do away in
q large measure with unseen influ-
ences that now hamper the work OF
the council and are really nothing
more nor less than graft in an in
direct form.
II will pay the people Of Pendle-
ton to do some thinking upon this
subject. They may wish to change
&c the commission form Of govern
ment this fall

Go swat the fly, go swat the fly!"
No matter now no matter where

on babys nose, on bread or pie,
Yours hut To do, his but to die
Catlike approach the rocking chair;
Aim with the blow that does not spare
Then strickland see your victim thrill
His triumph from the window sill.
BE not dismayed. Creep up with vim
Prepared to tear him limb from limb
Pause as ne moves his wings for fear
He'll think you're coming over near
Whistle to make him feel that you
Some other mission have in view.
Then with vengeance lunge his way
CWe cannot print the things you say)
But he can hear them rip and roll
About him on the sugar bowl.
What if the heat upsets your calm?
What if the motion tires your arm?
What if your temper strains to burst
And lust for blood sets nerves
athirst
Go swat the fly, Take off your coat
Loosen your collar from your throat
Plan your campaign as one who
knows
That glory to the patient goes.
And if you try, and try, and try.
Maybe, perhaps you'll swat that fly.
