HOW ABOUT THE WIRES?

The city engineer has finished his
work looking to the paw
ing Of the streets that have been or
dered improved and the matter is
now up to the council.
But there is one preliminary step"
regarding which the East Oregonian
has heard of no action being taken
as yet by the council. It is in rela-
ton to having the telephone and ell
ectric wires placed underground.
Is the council to allow the overhead
wires to remain Indefinitely as an OBJ
struction and as a menace to human
lives in times of fire?
Are. the unsightly poles to remain
where they are obstructing the view
along the streets and utterly spelling
the effect of the cluster lights?
II there is anything to be done re-
garding placing theN wires under
ground now is the time for action.
What about it, gentlemen?

TOO GOOD FOR WHEAT.

That the crop conditions in the Ad-

able than he has ever seen before
anywhere is the statement Of II. H.
Cohen. market editor for the Oregon
Journal who IS now in the county
spon an inspection trip. He says the
prospects in the good wheat belt Of
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-07-07
one SUSPICIOUS MIND.

With wonderful sagacity the Port
land Oregonian is going to withhold
its judgement of the East Oregonian's
short ballot policy until it ascertains
whether or not this paper is prompt
ed by a desire to increase the COVER
nors patronage.
We will end the distressing doubt
The East Oregonian favors increas-
ing the patronage of the governor,
or of the state board, by making the
state printer. the food and dairy
commissioner and perhaps some other
technical positions appointive rather
than elective.
The change is desired however,
not so much because it will increase
the prestige Of the governor or Of the
state board but because it will in
crease the power of the people them
selves.
AS Governor Wilson has aptly said
a man with a sword three feet long
is armed; but to lengthen that sword
TO 20 feet would mean to disarm him.
1t may seem to some a far fetched
conclusion but it is a fact neverthe-
less that the people would rule more
effectively in this state if positions
such as state printer and food and
dairy commissioner were filled by
appointment rather than by election.
The people could then concentrate
their energies upon electing good
men for such positions as are cleo
tive. They would have a short
sword to WELD and they could use il
properly.
This IS why during a number o,
r. years the East Oregonian has urgeC
that the positions mentioned above
be made appointive The suggestion
have been made regardless Of whc
has filled the governors chair or wh'
might attain it. SO it should bt
clear this paper is not trying to ere
ate plums that might fall into friend
Iy hands. II such a motive INSPIRED
tie East Oregonian this paper woul'
not have earnestly advocated plac
ing the state printer on flat salary
That move takes all the juice from
that particular plum or will do s.
shortly. II was a natural point TO
the Oregonian 70 raise however, i
view Of the fact that that paper ha
mad a close relative in the state prin
ter's office during the past fey
years. A guilty mind breeds suspici
OIL Of others.
But coming back to the propositio
Of the shorter ballot, how long
the Portland paper to remain silen
on this timely subject? Does the ore
gonian favor pruning the tree or up
roofing it? or is it going to hold a
assembly TO consider the matter?

the county have not been painted in
colors sufficiently bright
After having been through the
wheat section between Umatiua coun-
ty and the Cascades no doubt the
wheat here looks very fine to Mr.
Cohen and it is pleasing to have him
say SO,
1t is a fact though that big wheat
yields are a normal thing in that Sec
ton of Umauua county through
which the market editor has just
passed. 1t is seldom me Adams.
Athena country fails to have what
would be considered bumper crop
.elsewhere.
As matter of fact the best part Of
the wheat land of this county is too
good to be devoted to raising bion-
rial crops of Wheat. The land justi-
fios q higher grade of agriculture
Homes could be made on the big
wheat ranches Of this county for many
thousands of people. Field peas,
vetch, vegetables and fruits should
he raised along with wheat and more
livestock should be maintained.
There is far more money in hogs
than in wheat.
But it IS hard to interest the wheat
barons in intensified farming while
they are making money easily raising
wheat We are really suffering from
over prosperity.
