CAN A CITY MAKE ANY BINDING CONTRACT?

Six circuit judges sitting in baDc in Portland heard
the arguments in the matter Of the Public Service Com
mission increasing the rates allowed under its franchise
of the Portland Railway Light & Power Company. The
six decided that the commission had power to increase
the rates, and that the state in granting a charter to the
city of Portland did not surrender its sovereign power to
regulate rates. Granting this decision is correct how
would it affect other contracts of the city, Under this
decision could the city make any contract that the state
could not set aside? The city under its charter can vote
bonds for municipal purposes. In doing so it fixes the
rate Of interest. Now if it cannot make a contract fixing
car rates can it make one fixing interest rates? Ii the
Public Service Commission can set aside the city and
company contract as to charges for carrying passengers
on city street cars, can not the state set aside any con
tract as to bond sales or interest rates? The constitution
also provides that mo expose facto law or law lmpaiTlng
the obligation Of contracts shall ever be passed" The
decision of the judges is to the effect that the creation OF
the public service commission and it's powers are not sub
sequent legislation but simply an application OF the power
retained by the state. To say the least there are grounds
for an argument in this position. 1t must be conceded
that the state i'm granting its charter to Portland gave it
the right to make a contract with a street car company to
locate lines on its streets and operate cars thereon. 1t
will be conceded that this charter gave the city the right
to make a contract with any such company as to the fares
to be charged in consideration Of the special privileges
granted it. If this is conceded can it be set up that the
CITY could not make a contract for its own protection that
would be binding on the other party? If the contract was
not binding on the company is it on the city? In that case
is not the street car company a tresspasser? Under the
decision of the six judges can the city contract for any
public service with any public utility company. If not
why not?

LESS MERCIFUL THAN BEASTS or Prey

A private cable from agents Of the American Board Of
Missions, who are now on the line Of the Teuton drive in
the east, is to the effect that Prassian m~ilitarism is in
citing the Turks and Tarers to massacre the 100000
Armenians and Georgians still remaining in the Trans
Caucasus, so that Germany may have a free sweep
through that country in establishing q line of communi-
cation through to the Persian gulf. 1t is a serious charge
that a nation classed as civilized and christian should
deliberately plan the destruction of another christian peo-
pie for sordid gain. 1t shows how the human mind can
be trained to perform acts that not even beasts would
attempt, for they only destroy other life to sustain their
own. In this case the superior human would assassinate
millions of his own kind to enlarge his temporal power.
1t is appalling to contemplate, and to think of the world
under such domination is even more so. In these dis
patches telling of this plan it is announced that the Turks
are not especially friendly to the Germans and that one of
the reasons for encouraging this wholesale killing is to
put the Turks in better humor with themselves and their
German allies. It's also claimed the Germans are anxious
to have the United States declare war on Turkey, as they.
believe this would cause the Turks to murder the
Armenians that much more c~heerfully. Everything
points to the Prussian mind, having been educated to a
point where every human instinct is destroyed and selfish
ness and cruelty alone remain. The Prussian is a man
without a soul.

GEORGE IS INDIFFERENT


II had an awfully nice time, Geore'
l said as he came in, 81 wish you had

Tim very glad you enjoyed yourself
but just the same l know [ shouldn u
have cared for it," he answered with
a yawn.
"Alr. Grey, Merton Grey, the artist,
brought me home-rather, rode home
with ne; he asked if he might call and
pay his respects land l told him we
would like to see him"
"He's becoming quite a fellow! I'm

"But they weren't children!" L ex-
claimed Indignantly, "Most of them

Disturbing Thoughts.
The next day the conversation 1 had
overheard between Peter Rivers and
June Lawson REQUIRED to me. Was June
right, and was it better to marry a poor
who had to work hard for you?
What did she mean anyway? She had in
timated that rich men were more apt to
get into mischief, But the idea of my
dignified husband getting into mischief
made me smile. 1 was glad they had
said he was generous, and that they
had noticed l was well dressed. l must
MT forget to repeat that to Howard. 1t
please him. They had called him
''high-brow''. But | didn' It resent that;
| rather liked the idea that they thought
him of the elect.
George always keenly resented any
disapproval of his actions, but L would
only repeat The nice things. He surely
would be pleased at that. Really he was
a law unto himself-and to me, as l
had found out. He would not brook
from anyone, least of all from
me. 1t was a fatal error to question
anything he said or did. Fatal, if 1 wish
to be happy.
So l had not asked him where he had
spent the evening while I was at Eve
dinner. l had supposed him at
some club, playing cards or amusing
himself with his men friends. And /
souldn t help commiserating him in my
thoughts. He would have had so much
better time, had he gone with me.
That next night at dinner, he waS
unusually talkatiye and pleasant.
'E0h, George, such a good time!'' I

before. ''Wait until you hear. 1

quaint way of serving the dinner. The

THE kerr SALARY GRAB.


Salem, Ore, March s, 1918.
Editor Capital Journal: Regarding
the Kerr affair, l would like to ask il
Mr.. Kerr is still to be retained as
president of o. A. G. in the face of the
statement made by Former Governor
Hoch, active head of the Kansas state
schools, and the members are officers
of the educational board of Kansas
wherein they made a statement
through the press, denying having ever
made any offer whatever to Mr.. Kerr,
at any price OF at any time for his
services as president of Kansas Agri-
culture College. Yet in the face of all
this, the people of Oregon were told
Kansas had offered Mr.. Kerr $4,000
for his services as president of Kansas
state agricultural college, when in
truth Kansas was only paying their
president six thousand five hundred
dollars.
The .. A. c. board of regents in
their own v~indieation told us that Mr..
Kerr had not asked for a raise in
salary but that they for two years had
been trying to get him to accept it,
anu lllslJ NIL null udO 4O1uoNh W W
so. Now, granting for a moment that
this was true, was that a fair and
businesslike way of handling the tax
payers moneys
Do we see business men conducting
their business affairs in any such a
manner? And this too in the face of
the fact that the people were asking of
the last legislature that the salary, be-
ing already too large, be reduced so as
to compare more fairly with the sal
aries Of the other state officers, and
also the earnings OF the masses of the
people who have to pay these taxes
which support the school.
Now suppose we consider for a mo-
ment his salary on the old base of
$1,000 per year, did we ever stop to
figure up how many men working at
the average wage of two dollars per
day and boarding themselves (Which
was the average wage earned by most
of the common laborers at that time)
it would take to pay Mr.. kerr's salary
for each day. We are willing to con-
cede hat capability and efficiency
should be recognized, but the differ
ehce IS Toe great TINS Sdldfy
and the price paid to labor which pro-
duces the means whereby this exorbi-
tant salary is paid and should in all
fairness be more equalized.
Then, aside from this, how will other
states regard our school with a man
agement and head that is under the
cloud that rests today on the school
where our young leople are supposed
to get the training which it to prepare
them for the vacations which they
will soon have to take up as their life
work9
Let us not try to deceive ourselves
with the thought that this unfortunate
affair is not known outside our own
for through the press it has been
flung out and made public. And these
things are watched with interest by
the people in other states whore they
schools.

with pride to Oregon's State Agrieul-
College, as we have in the past,

Attorney General George ". Brown is a candidate to
succeed himself. He is a republican, and we mention that
fact only because the Oregonian has time and time again
accused democracy and democratic newspapers with
preaching non-partisanism but never practising it.
There is no politics in the Office, or for that matter in any
other state or county office; but if there is the Capital
Journal is not disposed to let politics interfere with the
selection Of the best man for a given position. Attorney
General Brown has made good in the office just as he did
in the office of district attorney before being chosen to
to the business of the office, has made its opinions as
sound as those of the supreme court itself, has been fair
square and impartial, basing his opinions on the law and
not on preiudices or friendships, and has earned and
deserves reelection regardless of opposition from candi-
dates of his own party, or any other.

going to take the place of watchful waiting and small

through the Hindenburg line again as they did last year,
that the road to Berlin win never again be closed. Ger

German propaganda is running at large in Cuba, but
is liable to get into trouble before long. It should not be
overlooked that Cuba still has some of the old Spanish
methods, and she may bring them into use again. A few

firing squad would put an end to most Of the dirty work
being done by the dirtier gang.
