USURPING LOCAL PRIVI-
LEGES

~ N several occasions the
W Pendleton city council
has been importuned to
grant a franchise for another
telephone company, one of the
requests being from the auto
matte phone people some years
ago. The franchise was de-
MED on the ground a two
phone system would be an ex-
pense and a nuisance to the
city.
On the other hand Pendle.
ton has generally taken an at
titude of welcome toward any
prospective rival electric COM
pany. A competing electric
company might easily be Of
considerable benefit to the
city.
The point is that our people
have been able to handle this
subject satisfactorily. Is it not
a fair assumption they can do
40 in the future? Then why
take this power away from the
community and lodge il in the
hands of the public service
commission? How can any
one reasonably expect the COM
mission to know more than do
the people of Pendleton as to
our own needs and desires? If
this is true with reference to
one community will it not be
true Of others?

very dull and backward but 1t

MUNICIPAL BONDS AS AN
INVESTMENT

consideration to all phases
of the subject there would
be more conservatism than is
shown with reference to pay
ing higher and higher prices
for farming lands,
A farming investment de-
serves a good net return on
the investment because many
elements of uncertainty enter
into the case and the question
of management is of vast i'm
portance.
On the other hand there are
forms of investment where a
fixed return is sure and no
management whatever is re-
uuired. Investments in muni-
cipal bonds win frequently pay
better than a farming invest.
ment.
Such bonds in reality consti.
tute a mortgage on the entire
city school district or country,
as tha case may be, as they are
payable from taxes, which
come ahead of all other liens
or mortgages and which are
levied upon practically all the
real and personal property in
the municipality. This pro-
perty is irrevocably pledged
for the payment of the bonds
at maturity and. the interest
due each yeat.
Several excellent arguments
are given to prove their worth: !:
They are not affected by
business depression.
They are exempt from the
federal income tax.
They are accepted by the
government as security for the
deposit of postal savings funds.
They are easily and quickly
convertible into cash, and it is
easy to borrow money on them.
They are a convenient form
of investment-the coupons
may be clipped off and de-
posted in any bank like a
check.
The banks of this country
own over $6O0,000.000 of mu-
nicipal bonds; all the big in
surance companies own many
millions Of them; they are the
favorite investment of the
great savings banks.
They are issued under strict
regulations of the states.
They are easily purchased
from reliable dealers and tran
sactions by mail may safely be
undertaken.
Considering all the elements
involved the profit in owning
bonds is remarkably high and
such investments should ap-
peal strongly to those wanting
"a safe investment. causing
them little worry or trouble.

Temps Attacks Swiss
For SEEKING Paper
Suppression of German Jour-
nal Which Supported Will
son Is Denounced

PARIS, Aug. 20.-The "Temps" to-
day concludes a lengthy review of the
Swiss governments attitude toward the
"Freie Zeitung," newspaper published
in the German language in Switzer-
land, which was seized recently by the
Swiss police because Of its alleged I'M
neutral attitude in supporting Presi-
dent Wilson and the American govern
ment in the war, as follows:
at is inconceivable how the Attorney
General of the Swiss Confederation
and republican magistrates of pacific
state could take such action against a
newspaper that defends in so dignlied
way the cause of democracy and
peace. II is even less conceivable that
newspapers like Independence Helve-
tiaue' and La Nation printed in the
French language, on Swiss territory,
continue lightly their work OF insult
and treason toward the Allies"
The Temps" recalls the case of a
Bohemian journalist named Sychrava,
living in Geneva, whose house was
searched by the federal police on the
pretext that he had insulted the late
Emperor Francis Joseph. The govern
ment police. the newspaper says, dis
covered in that search list Of Sych-
rava's CORE spondents in Bohemia. BY
tragic coincidence several of those cor
respondents have been hanged since
that time.

Prices of Steel
Should Vary, Board
, Tells President
Commission Recommends
Separate Figures for Each
u. s. Contract

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.-Prelimi-
nary estimates of steel and copper pro-
duction costs were completed by the
Federal Trade Commission to-day and
will go to President Wilson tomorrow
for use in fixing prices for the govern
ment's war requirements. Figures
asked by the President on the costs Of
producing other basic materials VIII
be ready soon. Coal costs already have
been determined.
The government and industry have
been further apart perhaps on the
price to be paid for steel than on any
other commodity required for war
needs. At present all government pur-
chases are made on tentative price
bases, with the final price to be deter
mined after the government has gone
over the Trade Commissions figures.
The Navy Department is paying S65 a
ton and Shipping Board $50.
The Trade Commissions report. it is
understood, goes more deeply into con-
ditions in the steel industry than into
actual cost figures. IL recommends. IT
is understood, that the President desig'
nate some government agency TO pur
sue a constant investigation into steel
costs during the war and TO determine
the actual cost of production OF each
government order.
This plan is suggested, it is under
stood, because of the great difference
in production costs in various mills.
The larger plants, particularly those
that produce their own ore, are shown
to turn out the finished product at a
cost far below that of their competi-
tors. In view of this the commission
believes that it will be impossible to
fix a definite price for steel, and that
prices must be fixed on specific orders.
This, the commission says, will be
comparatively easy, since government
orders will be big.
Steel is selling now in the open mar
ket at more than 800 ton, and some
recent orders nave been placed at
nearly 5000. Even the producers agree
that this price rs too high, but they
point to the abnormal demand.
The Trade Commissions recommen-
dations, some officials say, will make it
difficult for the government to carry
out its announced policy of seeing that
the public, as we'll as the government,
gets its requirements at reasonable
prices.
No figures on copper production costs
have been announced, but the Trade
Commissions reports indicate that
large profits are made at present mar.

Soft Coal Shipments
Increased 20 Per Cent
Railroads War Boards Made
Efficiency Record in July,
Report Shows

WASHINGTON, Aug 2o.-Reports
Just received by the Railroads War
board show that the railroads carried
1921 more carloads of bituminous
coal from the mines in July this year
than during July, 1915.
This increase, which amounts TO 2O4
per cent, makes available for consump.
ton 6,4s6,O00 tons Of coal in excess Of
the amount that would have been
available had the railroads merely
duplicated their July. 1916 perform
ance.
The first problem to which the Rail
roads War Board addressed itself,
after being appointed to operate the
railroads of the United States as g
single transportation unit, was that OF
increasing the movement OF coal and
iron ore. The country this winter
faces greater demands for coal and
other traffic than ever before in its
history, and the. railroads are now
working with light and main to util-
ize effectively every faculty they pos
sess.
The railroads achieved an increase
in their average daily loading OF BIZ
luminous coal in july this year over
the average amount loaded in June
this year loading an average OF 30,599
ears in July as compared with 3O,O59
cars in June.
The total increase in the amount OF
bituminous coal handled by the rail
roads for the months of April. May,
June and July this year over the same
months last year amounts TO 57s,o36
cars or approximately 2S,Ss6,OoO tons
This is 25.10 per cent more than the
amount handled. for these four months
In 1915.
