$1,000 was given by the city to the

He wants to know if this outstanding
Indebtedness is interest bearing or the
mortgages valueless. He also asks
what shall be done with the debt Of
$40 for wharf rent owed by Mahlon B.
Foster, due since the year 1908. In
addition to these matters the auditor
returned without his approval a
voucher for $500 for the Institute
Free Library, for the Commission of
the Blind. He claims that the sum
is not drawn according to law and
that only $3.50 is due. He suggests
that the ordinance be amended TO
meet the exigency. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the commission
for the blind is not now department

The physical value of the trusts
northwest plants, exclusive of those
in Portland, is $4,91O, 1O3. That is
the replacement value of the COM
pany's plants according to a state
ment which the East O%regonian has
over the signature of F. G.. Sykes,
vice president of the Pacific Power &
Light company. The same statement
sets forth hat the corporation has a
capitalization as follows: common
stock, $4,000, 900; cumulative pre-
ferred stock, 50. o 900; second pre-
ferred stock, $500, 90; total capital
ization outstanding, So 500. 900. The
corporation also has $5,295,000 in
bonds outstanding against its north
west plants. In other words the
trusts northwest branch is capitalized
for more than double the actual val
ue of its plants. Is it surprising
there should be complaint regarding
high prices for lighting and for
power.
Eliminate watered stock and re-
quire trusts TO charge only such pri-
ces as will earn them fair dividends
or their real investments and there
will be an end to criticism. In the
case of Pendleton, however, it seems
vastly easier for the city to solve the
problem by establishing an electric
plant of its own. 1t will be easier to
go into the electric business our
selves than to make over the electric
trust.

GOVERNOR WILSON'S STRENGTH

Woodrow Wilson's sweeping victory
in the presidential preference prim-
airy in Pennsylvania comes as fine
testimony to the esteem in which
New Jerseys fearless progressive
governor is held by those living near
where he holds forth. Reports indi-
cate that Pennsylvania democrats
voted for Wilson almost unanimous
~. It is a great endorsement in view
OF the vicious, crafty campaign the
reactionaries have been waging to
bring about Wilson's defeat. It is an
even greater endorsement than La
Toilette received at the hands of the
republicans of Wisconsin, for Wis
consin is La Follette's home state.
1t is safe to say the Pennsylvanians
voted for Wilson because of his re-
markable work in New Jersey. He
was elected governor of a state that
Is and always has been overwhelm-
ingly republican. After becoming
governor he had the opposition not
only of certain republicans but of the
democratic state machine also. But
in spite Of that he drove his legisla-
tive program through. He forced the
legislature to elect the peoples choice
as senator. He drove through a new
election law taking the control of
nominations out of the hands of the
bosses. He also had enacted a cor
rupt practices act, a law providing
for a public utilities commission to
regulate the prices charged and the
service rendered by corporations. 1t

the local schools. My chief criticism
came from a visit to one room where
the regular teacher was suffering
from German measles and was forced
to leave her room with a substitute.
The children We're behaving fearfully
and doing almost everything but
standing on their heads right under
the eyes of the substitute, whom l
afterwards learned was Mrs. Welles,
wife of our county superintendent.
Mr.. Welles also said he does not
consider me responsible for what 1
say. I am just as responsible as is
Mr.. Wel,es. l will admit that after
being SO u~njustly treated 1 felt in
dignant and in calling upon Mr..
Welles may have talked in a loud
voice. l am sure, though, l have sense
enough that 1 would know for whom
to vote for county school superintend-
ent if l had the right of suffrage.
Very truly yours,
MRS. EDITH l.. RALSTON.

was great work and Governor Will
sons success in view of the obstacles
confronting him shows that he is not
only a great thinker upon govern
mental subjects but is also a master
hand at putting his plans into exc
cution.
At this time the United states
needs a man as president who has
the clear vision, the courage. patrio-
tlsm and the personal force of Gov
ernor Wilson. He is needed as the
democratic nominee because it is al
most sure that the republicans will
name President Taft, a s~tandpatter,
as their candidate. Either Roosevelt
or La Toilette could win the repub-
lican nomination away from Taft if
all the states had preferential prim-
aries. But only a few states hold
such primaries. Most of the states
still follow the convention system and
the conventions will be for Taft. 1t
win be remarkable if President Taft
is not renominated under the cir
cumstances.
At the primary election Friday the
democrats of Oregon should vote for
Governor Wilson as their choice for
president.

He has accomplished this in four a

he is the man for this important Of

WHY WELLES Is OPPOSED.

The contest for school superintend-
ent is not a political contest in the
accepted sense. There is no fight on
F. h. Welles because of his political
beliefs. No particular support is be-
ing given Mr.. Young because of his
political faith. They are both MEM
bers of the republican party and
seemingly have always been. Whether
they are Taft men, Roosevelt men or
La Toilette men. this paper does not
know and does not care. It is prob
able the majority of people share the
same view.
The county superintendent occu-
pies an educational position and the
important things in connection with
a candidate for that office are his
qualifications as an educator and for
superintendency. As between Messrs
Welles and Young there is a great
disparity on this score and it is all in
favor of Mr.. Young.
Mr.. Weiies is not qualified by edu-
cation or by disposition to be a super
intendent. This is a fact well known
to school people all over the county
and has been known for years. His
lack OF education is a matter of COM
mon repute. This paper is reliably
informed that a few years ago while
serving as county school superintend-
ent he took private instruction in al
zebra from a teacher then employed
in the Pendleton academy in this
city. Algebra is a subject taught in
high schools and the incident shows
his lack of preparation. For super
intendency Mr.. Welles is also defici-
ent for he is possessed of a timidity-
coming perhaps from inadequate
training-that renders him almost
useless as a supervisor. 1t is a gen
eral saying among the teachers of
this county that Welles can never tell
them anything of real use or decide
anything for them. Almost all the
school people in the county, both men
and women are opposing Mr.. Welles
for reelection.
Welles is being opposed because he
is a weak superintendent. For real
efficiency his office has been a frost
ever sincec he has occupied it. 1t
will be a frost as long as he is there
Welles' chief business consists in look
ing wise, patting himself upon the
back, drawing his salary regularly and
increasing the emoluments of the Of
flee at every opportunity.
Mr.. Young on the other hand is a
well trained and forceful young ed
ucator. He is a normal school and
college graduate and has held actual
positions in splendid schools. For
four years he has been head of the
StIOllu q 6toN Nv IA thN
county and he has already been re-
elected for next year. He was in
duced to enter the race for the sup
erintendency by people who know he
is a capable man and that Welles is
not. Mr.. Young was brought into the
race by republicans and his chief
hackers in the fight are republicans.
The charge that democrats are wag-
ing the warfare on Welles is abso-
Lutte rot and the claim is put forth in
a last desperate effort to bolster up
a veal cause.
The people Of this county and the
schools of this county are entitled to
a new deal in the county superin-
tendent's office. 1t is up to the re-
publican voters to bring about a
change when they go to the polls on

THE HEART OF THE TROUBLE.

In hi brilliant address here Satur-
day Senator La Toilette struck
straight at the heart of the trouble
when he said the evil in private con-
troll Of big business comes from
watered capitalizations. The railroads
and other great corporations do not
merely earn legitimate profits on the
actual value Of their property. They
earn profits on exaggerated valu-
ations.
This is strikingly true of the cleo
trio trust which has a monopoly on
the lighting business in Pendleton.
