The exhibition apples, the best that
the Hoosier orchards offered this
year, are now fairly pouring into cold

and number of experts have been
engaged to help exhibitors get their
displays in readiness.
The displays Of machinery and or.

they will fill all the space around the

The Monon railroad has offered 5000

give 5000 for the best fifty bushels,
and after the show will give the fruit
to a hospital. A Vincennes cold stor-

prize list and one at Terre Haute has
given $25.
The Central Passenger association

SPOKANE APPROVES
OF Commission PLAN
Seven Months Trial of New
City Government Has
Been Big Success.
palladium Specially

!
SPOKANE, Wash. Oct. 23.-Seven
months experience with the commits
sion form of government in Spokane,
which is under the control of the peO-
pie through the preferential election
system. the initiative and referendum
and the recall, has proved highly sue
cessful. Direct efficiency has replaced
irresponsibility and incompetency, par
| ty bossism has been eliminated, the
laws are enforced, the taxpayers are
obtaining 100 cents worth of work for
a dollar, municipal improvements
bonds command high premiums and
the city's credit is gilt edge in the An
ancial centers throughout the country.
Charles NJ. Fassett, commissioner of
public utilities, speaking for the COM
mission, says the people, as rule, are
satisfied with the change, and that it
is doubtful if even those who were
ter would vote to return to the old
| system. There are some, of course,
who honestly believe the old form bet
ter, he added, but the chief opposition
to the adoption of the charter and it's
continuance comes from those. whose
private selfish interests are being in
terfered with by the beneficial change
in administration introduced by the
present government.
The Chief Advantages.
Enumerating the chief points of ad-
vantage of the commission form of
government over the party system, Mr..
Fassett says:
the community IS not disturbed by po-
litical wrangling at the city hall. Our
commissioners often do not agree on
various measures, but differences are
soon healed and there is harmony and
good feeling between them.
Each commissioner has charge, I'M
der authority of the whole body, of his
departments and the taxpayer knows
to whom to apply for his needs. The
result is that business is dispatched in
hours and days where it formerly re-
quired weeks and months.
Street and other improvements are
made for from 20 to 40 per cent less
than in recent years, without reducing
the city wage scale or decreasing our
standards of quality. The contractors
ring is broken and most of our work
goes to those who have done the best
work in the past. For the first time in
our history a contractor has beer
fined for delaying public work.
"Our tax levy will be the same az
last year, notwithstanding deficit Of
about 100000 left for the former gov
eminent and the settlement of many
claims and complications, neglected
for years.

pyramid occupies a space Of 1cE acres

item Of 100000 while the labor
would increase this about by $72.O0O-

The showing submitted last evening
by the old Roundup board indicates
that the affairs of the association
have been handled in a very busi-
nesslike way and the reports reflect
credit upon the old officers and di-
rectors. With T. d. Taylor as presi-
dent and with the new board selected
last evening it should be possible to
and maybe surpass it. AS long as the

ebration it should be the best show OF
conducted with an eye singled to the

For example as Seattle can get sup
plies from New York by water and as
Spokane. because of its location, can
ret. seattle cannot be said to be un-
duly favored, merely because the rail-
read carriers in order to meet water
competition, charge a lesser rate from
New York to Seattle through Spokane
than from New York to Spokane pro-
vided the Spokane rate is reasonable
per sc, and the Seattle rate is no;
upremunerative."
Reasoning like this from a court
named with great eclat to review the
work of the interstate commerce COM
mission! The reviewers themselves
need reviewing and need it sadly.
Their ruling is nothing but reaction
airy step taken to benefit the rail-
reads and the coast cities without re-
gard to logic or the justice of the
case.
AAtN NsAAA All~ NbdA Al'AA sCtNNNAt -
not unduly favored when it is grant
ed cheaper rate than is Spokane?
Railroad rates should be based on
distance. To give coast cities lower
rates from the east than are given
interior points merely means to favor
them at the expense Of the interior. 1t
is "robbing Peter to pay Paul" 1t
means that the interior must provide
the dividends for the railroads while
the coast cities get the big benefits
On the very face of things no Spo-
kane rate can be reasonable that is
higher than the Seattle rate.
There is but one way to settle the
rate problem on an equitable basis
and that is to provide for nature to
take its course. Fix railroad rates
on a basis of distance and cost of
service. Let water rates be fixed the
same way and allow the cheapest SER
vice to get the business. To take any
other course means to work against
nature and to force injustice on some
ore.
The system Of favoring coast cities
at the expense of the interior is
wrong and a thousand decisions by
such a body as the commerce court
cannot change the situation. The
CALLING thing about the whole matter
is that the commerce court should
profess to uphold justice. The court
would be more entitled to respect if
it would frankly throw away the
scales, admit its rulings are not i'm
partial but partial and that the court
was created and packed to favor the
railroads and those who profit by the
present unjust rate schedules.

DID HE REALLY MEAN IT?

Several days ago John McCourt,
United States attorney, wrote this pa
per that he would defend local Indi-
ans when they made personal use of
Umatilla river water in irrigating
their allotments but intimated he
would not defend the use of water on
land that has been rented to white
men.
Now it so occurs that many of the
allottees are old and cannot work
while some are squaws and some are
children. It is also certain that the
men who are now young and strong
will some day become old and unable
to work their allotments in person
So it is clear that if the Indians
who need the blessings of irrigation
are to enjoy such blessings it is neces-
sary TO establish their right to water
for their land when they rent their
land. 1t would be diabolical to grant
the Indians rights and privileges with
conditions imposed that would nulli-
ly such rights when most needed by
the redmen.
It seems incredible that the United
States government-the government
that flies the flag of freedom and was
founded upon the theory that all men
are equal before the law whether they
be weak or strong, high or lowly-
should take such a course towards its
wards, the Indians. If it does the
government IS a treacherous guardian.
It seems incredible that John McCourt,
who knows local conditions well,
should take such a course It would
be interesting to have Mr. McCourt
explain his position more fully. Per-
haps his letter was misinterpreted.
II so he can and should set the mat
ter right. These columns are open
10 him for a further explanation and
the East Oregonian will be glad to
hear from him again. So will scores
