VERY SINISTER PRO-
POSAL

ACCORDING to a story IN
"A the Portland oregonian'
H. H. Corey. newly elect
ed member of the public ser
vice commission will ask the
legislature to change the pub
lie service law in manner
that would be most highly gra-
TIfying to electric companies,
water companies and similar
concerns but disasterous to the
public.
The Corey suggestion is the
same thing that the utility cor
porations tried to work through
the legislature, two years ago
but failed because the dose was
apparently too odorous for the
solons to swallow. The am
endment would prevent any
utility company from compet-
ing with another company
without first securing the con-
sent of the state public service
commission. In other words
the monopolistic privileges now
held by companies in many
cities and towns would be
more securely guarded and re-
lief for the public made more
difficult to obtain. It would
probably make it impossible
for town to install its own
utilities.
If Mr.. Corey's services or
the public service commission
is to take this line he should
get his salary from the utility
corporations, whose interests
he serves, not from the people
whose welfare he would flag
Iantly sacrifice.
During the primary cam
paign last spring Mr.. Corey re

views on this subject and in hi

jam through such legislatio,

him to obtain new employment

GUARD THE SETTLER

~ HE slogan of the state ir-
VI rigation congress is that
the state should get be-
hind irrigation bonds. But if
this is to be done it would be
proper for the state to take
ever the entire control and SUI
pervision of the work. It
would be very unreasonable
for anyone to expect the state
to finance irrigation schemes
and then let private land own
ers and spectators walk off
with the profits. The trouble
with most irrigation projects,
state or federal, is that the de-
tails are arranged too often
with a view to taking care of
big land owners and not en-
ough with a view to giving a
square deal to the settler who
is expected to do the work.

CAMP WHEELER

1t seems from the latest news thai
the crisis at Camp Wheeler is about
over. The physicians and nurses have
checked the epidemic of measles and
resulting pneumonia, and what sick
ness now follows will be only the aft
ermath.
The trouble has been due to two
causes, both beyond human power to
prevent An epidemic of measles In
the camp was started by consign-
ment of drafted men sent from Ar
kansas. They had the disease in their
systems when they started, but
neither they nor their officers were
aware of it until they arrived at the
camp.
The climate of Macon is one of the
best in the world. 1t is generally
particularly delightful in the autumn
and the war department had a right
to believe it was picking good sit
uation when it located Camp Wheeler
there's There was an unexpected and
unprecedented spell of cold weather
last month. It was hard on the SOL
diers, particularly on those who were
just coming down with measles, or
getting up from them, and the VIC
tins of pneumonia were mostly
among such men.
There is some talk about INSULT
cent clothing, but all the troops we
have seen were well clad for that
latitude at this time of the year.
There is no doubt that the war de-
partment did all in its power for the
sick men. The efforts of doctors and
nurses were not spared. The chief of
the medical staff, Major Richard
We'll, himself is dead, the victim of
his untiring efforts to save the sick
men entrusted to his care.
Such occurrences are sorroWful,
but they are inevitable in the days
of war IF our government was cor
rupt OR careless, it would be the duty
of the newspapers to denounce it, but
as it is neither, and as it is doing its
very best to graphic with tremendous
difficulties, it is best, while not omit
ting the truth, to refrain from every
thing like sensation.
| We add an extract from a letter of
one of the superior officers of the
124th Infantry Second Florida). and
it is proper to note, by the way, that
very little of the sickness has been
in that regiment, mostly made up of
veteran soldiers and commanded by
officers who knew how to look out for
their men:
II note from the papers that quite
a stir is being made regarding health
conditions in our camp here, which is
causing a great deal of unnecessary
alarm and anxiety among relatives
and friends of the boys here. The
matter has been greatly exaggerated.
Conditions here are not bad. 1t is
true we have had quite number of
deaths from pneumonia, owing to
very bad weather, and an epidemic
of measles. The latter has caused an
over crowding of the camp hospital,
but the situation is being relieved
and is much improved and there is no
cause for undue alarm on the part of
relatives of the men in camp here"

Gov. Cats wants each county in the
state to organize home guard, ana
as stimulus to its so doing says that
he probably will not in future send
guards out of one county into an
other. The home guard question
seems very much Mixed Under the
law, home guards are not to be sup
piled with arms by the general gov
eminent unless they are held in read
mess TO guard government property.
Men past military age, and in bust
ness, are not good material for this
sort of work, and as the government
is training several million men for
service, it is reasonable to suppose
some of them can be spared for such
duties. This leaves it up to the coun-
ties that have home guards to supply
them with equipment, and many of
the counties are unable to do this, as
it will cost at least $50 per man to
equip them and 5 cents a round for
ammunition. As for Gov. Cats re-
mark that he won't send home guards
out of one county to another, the
Star would respectfully remind him
