BONDS! BONDS! BONDS

1rEFORE the gravity water
- system was an accomplish
ed fact in Pendleton there
was frequent and vociferOus
criticism from a certain quar-
ter that the people were being
burdened to their very death
with bonds. Taxes would be
raised, the water would be no
good and only the Lord knew
what would happen if the
Thorn Hollow project was
built.
But taxes have not been
raised and there was never the
slightest chance the tax levy
would be affected by the water
system. The water is good. In
surance charges have been
cut. The saving in operating
cost under the new water sys-
tenn is so great that the board
finds it possible to meet all ex-
penses and provide a sinking
fund without advancing rates.
On top of this the people are
allowed to use 25 per cent
more water at the same old
price, which means that rates
are actually reduced.
Pendleton finds that a first
class water system costing al
most 100000 is cheaper, even
when interest charges and
sinking fund are considered,
than was the little old disease
generating water system we
formerly used and which was
so dearly beloved by the cleo
trio concern that pumped the
water.

the people more efficient, in a
military way and otherwise.
Consequently the Chinese
might surprise the world by
putting up a real defense
against japanese invasion. But
such cannot be reasonably ex-
pected. The weak spot in
China's position will be lack of
war supplies. Compared with
Japan China is doubtless mis-
erably equipped fol war and
having no navy would be in no
position to protect the impor-
tation of munitions from
abroad.
Speaking by the dope it is
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-05-07

to build such a road from their city,
On its merits the Columbia should be
used as the greatest water highway. II
we use it, we shall have the most con-
vincing argument to induce the gov
ernment to extend that highway.
The same advice regarding
the building of roads to the
river comes from every quarter.
That line of action is advised
by J. N. Teal, the man who
led the long campaign to
overcome the barrier at Cello.
He is a man in whom the peO-
pie may have confidence with
reference to the subject.
Governor Withycombe has
been emphatic in his recon-
mendation that roads be built
to the river so as to serve as
feeders to the boat lines. Con-
gresham Sinnott urges this
line of action upon different
eastern Oregon counties.
These men have a grasp Of
the subject and they are not
mistaken in their advice. The
problem is not complicated. 1t
is very elementary. Common
sense shows plainly that if we
are to receive the advantages
of the river we must be able
to reach the waterway. Moth
ing could be simpler or more
logical.

SOLDIER, JUDGE AND
STATESMAN

I'm an address before the
Wisconsin legislature yes
terday ex-President Taft
praised President Wilson for
the wise policy Of strict neu-
trality he has so conscientious
ly followed during the war.
On the same day Col. Roose-
welt was quoted in a Paris pa
per as declaring that had he
been president last summer he
would have sided with the al
lies and demanded that Ger
many keep out of Belgium.
The utterances of these two
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-05-07

men strikingly illustrate their
widely different characters
tics. One is a Judge, the other
a soldier at heart, Each is sin
cere and entitled to esteem but
the country has a more bal
anced man than either now in
the White House. Wilson is a
statesman.

The spectacle of a foreign in-

balkans, about which peace and War

every prediction from southeastern Ed

beea based upon guesses as to What

According to reports, the main ele-
ments in the present Bulgariah attitude
are the hatred of this people for
Greeks and Serbians, which hatred has

anger at what they call the Greek

their country There is, also, fear OF
Russia, the result OF years OF struSSle
to thwart Muscovitee intrigues and to
escape gradual absorption. Describing

For the complexities of luxury, the

women of Atlanta, particularly in the
younger society circles, according to
the statement of conservative observ-

fact that Atlanta girls visiting in New

Europe have brought home with them
and gradually introduced in this south

or less generally in other sections of
the globe for several years.
And the cigarette smoking by wo-

ever to the usual laxness of manner o:
