Noted Economist Business Statician
and Banker.
During the past ten years or so the
muckrakers have been busy. In city
after city and in town after town
they have uncovered crookedness in
the administration. They have I'M
covered so much crookedness that
the rest of US have come to the con-
clusion that graft is something which
is confined to public places. But is
there no graft in private places? 1t
is worth considering.
Suppose the mayor of town
should appoint his brother police
commissioner; his daughters hus~
band, fire commissioner; his uncle,
Superintendent of the water works;
and put his son in charge of the
street cleaning department. How
long would it be before the good citi-
zens would hold an Indignation meet
ing?
It would not be long. No city in
America would stand that kind of
graft.
Yet pick up the letter head of a
private corporation and what are
you likely to find?
1t usually. reads something like
this:
Quincy Persimmon, president.
Quincy Persimmon, Jr., vice-presi-
dent.
Persimmon Quincy, treasurer,
Howard Lemon, secretary.
The presence of Howard Lemon in
this select family circle is somewhat
puzzling until one learns that Prun-
ella Quincy Persimmon is the wife
of Howard Lemon. Then all is clear.
To be sure, the general manager
of the concern, who is the man to see
on any matter of special Importance,
is a man named Hobbs or Smith or
Hogan but it soon happens that the

CORPORATION AS IN ANY CITY GOVERNMENT

is not all done by the family, but the
big salaries are all in the family.
The Persimmons own good deal
of the stock, but they do not own it
all. They don't even own half of it.;
but they have what is called voting
control By means of this control
they keep themselves in places where
the salaries are good and growing
better Sometimes they make new
places when it is necessary for the
proper support of the family. For in
stance, the offices of secretary and
treasurer were both held by Persim-
mon Quincy until young Howard
Lemon won his wife. Then it was
found necessary to, divide the work,
and Lemon was made secretary.
Has there ever been an American
mayor who has dared to run his city
as this private corporation is run?
In their leisure moments the Per-
simmons, the Quincys and the Lem
ons are constantly advising their fell
Iow-citizens of the danger of per-
hitting an American city to advance
one step toward the sort of municipal
work which is done by great many
foreign cities with success. The rea-
son against this is given as the graft
in public life,
To say that there is more graft in
the average city government than
there is in the average private cor
poratien is demonstrably untrue.

WHAT TOM L. JOHNSON WHISPER.

went to him in sort of despair, and he
laughed and whispered:
cts the simplest thing in the
world; decide every question quickly
and be right half the time. And get
somebody who can do the work. That's
all there is to executive ability
Il looked at him in amazement. He
had grown quite serious.
There's another thing he added.
Don't spend too much time in your
office. A quarter Of an hour each day
is generally too long, unless there are
a whole lot of letters. OF course he
went on ref1ectively. You ear get

STARRING WILL CONDUCT STA
TON

C. C. Starring, of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College, has arrived to conduct
work of the local experimental sta
ton. Mr.. Starring, accompanied by
Professors II. S. Jackson and c. L.
Lewis, arrived here last Thursday
evening and spent Friday in a prelimin-
airy survey of the county.
Mr.. Starring, who has been taking
post graduate work at the Oregon
Agricultural College, is a graduate of
the South Dakota State College. He
has had experience in horticultural
work at the University of Idaho and
at the Lewiston orchards. He has
also been engaged in working out or
chard problems of the Rogue River
Valley.
The work Of the local experiment sta
ton will be done under the supervision
of the state station at Corvallis. Mr..
Starring will devote his time to a
study of cover crops and irrigation
methods, in an endeavor to find some
remedy for fruit spot and core rot,
Visits will be made by other experts
to study the plant pathology of the
valley.
Instead of securing some definite
plot of ground as is usually the case
in experimental work, the county will
allow the experts to use the entire
fruit district to be used by the expert
in making his observations. 1t is prob
able that a motorcycle will be secured
for him that he may journey from one
point to another.
R. w. Allen of the Umatilla county
experiment station, at Hermiston, was
a visitor here Saturday. He and Mr..
Starring will conduct experiments of
irrigation that will be very similar.
Mr.. Allen was here about five years
ago engaged in a soil survey of the
district.-Hood River Glacier.

all the pigs on his place by this time

bors about it.
A senior student in Stock Feeding

the things he had learned at the col,

thing to take the place of it of the

The young bull should have a ring

and taught to mind the ring, because
after this age he begins to learn his

ordinary trocar. 1t is an instrument
every cattle owner should have on the
farm and it should always be kept in

Commission Believes That it

SPIRITED FIGHT
HAS BEEN CREATED
Several Cities Want Insti.

Offers to Board.

Because Of the extremely keen
competition that has been created for
the location of the hospital which
will be constructed in the state by the
Methodists, the commission appointed
by the state conference has decided to
general body for consideration at the
next annual gathering.
Valley City. New Rockford. James

dcrs for the new hospital. and each
city has submitted an attractive
proposition to the commission.

cities. organizations Of physicians. to:
gether with others, have interested
hospital. and the result has been such
a spirited contest before the commits
sion that 1t has been decided to refer
the matter back.
Meets in October.
The general state conference of the
Methodists will be held next October,
thus giving the several cities interest
months time in which to complete
Their plans for the fight before that
body.
Want Big Hospital.
The Methodists r DESTROYS Of on
s%tructing an institution that will be
large enough for the needs of the de-
nomination for many years to come.
In selecting a location the conference
hospital commission felt that too
much was at stake to pass l,asty judy
ment on the pleas Of the several cities
interested.
May Estop College Plan.
Should the next Methodist confer
ence decide upon the location of a
hospital and authorize work looking
to its construction. 1t is quite probable
that the plan to establish a Methodist
college in the southwestern section Of
the state will fail to receive serious
consideration for some time.
The fact that the Methodists al
ready have Wesley college in Grand
Forks. while they have no hospital.
naturally places the hospital first on
the list Of things for consideration.
