The positive refusal of William Andresen and other sterling and hard working member of the city council to become candidates for reelection causes The Enterprise to again urgo that the system of government for Oregon City be changed to a com mission form. We shall have to come to It, and there la nothing to be gained by useless delay and a great deal to be lost In this busy age of competition few of the right kind of public orfl clals will continue to make a sacri fice of their time and money for the benefit of the municipality. Take the case of Mr. Andresen. He has been a member of the council of Oregon Cltv for six consecutive years. He has not received a single dollar of salary, and If be has obtained the thanks and gratitude of his con stltuents for his earnest work In their behalf, he has not been aware of It to any particular extent Quite naturally, he believes he has done enough and he thinks some other business man should take a turn at the rack. The conduct of a city government should be a pureiy business proposi tion. There are thousands of dollars expended each year In street Im provements and In various ways. This money ought to be paid out nnder the direction of the men who authorize its expenditure and a coun cil of nine men should not be asked to give their time from their private affairs In an effort to see that the city Is properly governed and that Its finances are rightfully handled. The alternative Is commission govern ment It is, no doubt, too late to expect a commission charter to be formu lated and adopted before the coming city election in December, but It is not too early to make a start for next year, so that the new govern ment may become operative January 1, 1913. Let the mayor name a char ter commission, say two members of the council and three property own ers, who may have an opportunity to study the charters of Baker, Or., and of some of the cities of Washington and the eastern and middle western states where commission government has been tried and has been success ful in almost every particular. Oregon City should have a commls slon of not more than five men, three would be better, and they should each receive a salary of not less than $150 a month, with the proviso that they devote their entire time to the business of the city. Departments should be created, one commissioner handling the streets, another the finances, another the health and police. We should start this Important work now. Portland has her work of preparation well in hand and other Oregon cities are taking steps in the right direction. Oregon City, the first town of the state, should not be backward along this progressive line. THE HIGH COST OF LIVING Contrary to the belief of many Americans, the high cost of living is felt in other countries besides our?. It has caused demonstrations in Vienna which called out the miLtary and which compelled the government to proclaim martial law for the first time since 1849. Riots for the same cause nave recently taken place in France, Spain, and Italy. Political leaders in Germany say that tin burdens of the average man in that country are becoming unbearable ur.d they predict uprisings which may recall the Insurrections of 1848. Belgium ar.d England have recently had strikes which had at their base a feeling by the people that the cost of existence was making life lntol erable. What You Gain br2?3i THE BANK OF OREGON CITY IjjYour funds are kept in absolutely security. Payment by check provides indisputable receipts in the form of returned canceled checks. Payment by check saves many a long trip; saves the trou ble of making change and taking receipts. f Being a depositor with us acquaints us with each other and lays the foundation for accommodation when you want to piece out your resources with a loan. Every courtesy aud facility is rendered the small as well as the large depositor. Don't wait until you can begin with a large deposit. The Bank of Oregon City THE OLDEST BANK IN THE COUNTY These demonstrations In Europe ought to make Americans a little more reasonable In their condemns tlon of the conditions In their own country. The situation of whlcti they complain Is world wide. More over, our hardships are small com pared with those, of oilier peoples. Government Is less to blame here for these Ills than It Is elsewhere Our tax burdens are far lighter tha'i are those of the Hrltlsh, the Yrencn or the Germans. Our ability to meet them Is immeasurably greater than Is theirs. The outlook for Im provement In those conditions Is much brighter In the UulWd States than It is In any of the great conn tries of Europe. One of the causes of the relatively high cost of living Is the Increase in taxation, local and nntlonal. but, as before stated, this factor Is less evident here than It is iu the Old World. Another, and a far larger cause. Is the falllug off In food production as compared with con sumption. In all the great countries of the world the growth In mauu facturlng Is far greater than that in agriculture. While this tendency Is Irreparable In England, Germany and the other Industrial nations of Europe, It can be remedied in the United States because of the large areas still open to cultivation and of the chances for improvement in agricultural methods. Improvements are being made already. Production per acre in wheat, corn, cotton and other staples Is Increasing. The growth Is slow, but It is continuous. Scientific methods of production may be relied upon to bring Improvement In the United States and to avert any such outbreaks as the Old World has been witnessing recently. HARRIS FOR SENATOR. Judge Lawrence T. Harris, of Eugene, for United States senator to succeed Bourne. This sounds rather good to us. Judge Harris is a young man with a fine character and with tremendous energy. He married an Oregon City girl too. Somebody will succeed Bourne. Or course Jonathan hopes It will be Bourne, but we don't think so. Bourne bolted the Republican ticket last year. He openly declared him self In favor of the candidacy of Democrat Oswald West for governor and in so doing completed the alien ation of thousands or Republicans who never did have a particularly high opinion of him. Mr. Harris has a clean record. He was speaker of the house of repre sentatives In 1903 and made his mark there. He ranks high among the circuit judges of Oregon. His moral life is unstained. Judge Harris never kept a bar in the Eldridge block at Salem. He Is a native of Lane coun ty and if he, or some other good Re publican cannot win the senatorial nomination from Bourne, then Ore gon will have two Democratic United States senators from a Re publican state. Mrs. Helen Dixon, who once led the suffragist party in Colorado, and after female suffrage was attained, drifted into politics, has Just died of alcohol ism. What's the answer It is, of course, that many men who drift into politics die the same way. . They broke the drought at Post City, Tex., by discharging 3,000 pounds of dynamite. Dynamite has by Black Handers that, In a choice between it and the Black Handers, it Is likely that it will be the Black Handers who will have to go. A court at Des Moines has sum moned a resiauranteur for contempt in failing to obey an injunction com manding him to suppress the odor when cooking onions. When courts command impossibilities ontempt is certain. An order to cease cooking onions might have commanded re spect.

NOTED EDUCATORS FAVOR MOVEMENT Resolution Providing Ttiat Three Of Six Members Of State Text Book Commission Be Teachers Adopted. That the teachers of Clackamas comity are keon for holidays was evinced Wednesday at the annual teachers' Institute by the overwhelm Ins defeat of a resolution deslsued to keep the schools open on Columbus Pay. Washington's lilrthday and Dec oration Pay, but to devote the day to proRrnms of a patriotic character. The resolution was Indorsed by Coun ,V School Superintendent Gary, Cit) Superintendent Toor.e, of Oregou City, Principal N. V. Howland. of the East hum school at Oreson City and other well known educators, and coincides with the views of State Superinten dent Alderman, but the rank and file of the teachers evidently did not look iiinllv iition a movement Intended to curtail their three holidays and voted down the resolution by a vote ot anoui two to one, fully half of the teachers present refraining from voting. The language of the resolution follows: "Whereiis. Sections 206 and 207. of the Oregon School Laws designate the 22nd day of February, the 30th day of May and the 12th day of Oc tober as legal holidays, be It Rosnlvod Thnt the laws be amend ed so as to require school upon these days and that appropriate exercises be held in an scnoois wnen in ses sion." u-Mla iha tonrhprs nf Clackamas county have no power to alter the school laws, the resolution was, In effect, a recommendation to the state legislature. Next Tnursday will be Columbus Day. the newest holiday provided by the state legislature, and all the schools of the state will be closed. The common sense view taken by Cminlv Cimorintpniletlt C:TV Is that patriotic observances are educational and desirable, but that the patriotic features contemplated by the legisla ture are entirely lost sight of by the closing of schools. However, school districts are required to pay teachers on legal holidays and the majority of the pedegogues felt that they had much to lose and nothing to gain by the adoption of the resolution. Resolutions urging the appointment of three of the six members of the state text book commission from the ranks of teachers; changing the course of study for the two grade high school to conform with the four grade high Bchool; indorsing the or.nr.tv Hi-li sohool fund law. which was defeated by the Clackamas coun ty voters at the last election; oppos ing instruction of high school sub jects in one-room schools; condemn ing the practice of teachers under bidding each other for positions, and extending the usual thanks to those whr. helneit make the institute a suc cess were adopted, after being pre sented by the resolutions committee, consisting of Robert Goetz, F. B. Ham lin and C. F. Romig. The full text of the resolution fol. low: "Whereas, The present textbook commission is composed of six mem bers, not one of whom is now active ly engaged in public school work, and "Whereas, We, the teachers of Clackamas county, believe that It Is to the best interest of the schools of Oregon at least three members of this commission should be teachers active Iv engaged In public school work, be it "Resolved, By the teachers of f'lackamas county here assembled that the governor be requested to ap point at least three members of the textbook commission from the teach ers of Oregon who are actively en gaged in public school work.

"Whereas, The county high school fund law has not been put. In force in Clackamas county, and thereljy the people of the county have lost the many benefits of said law, be it 'Resolved. That the aforesaid law should be placed upon tbe ballot at the next election and be it further "Resolved, That we give it our heartiest support. "Whereas. The one-room school Is not properly equipped and has not the time to teach high school subjects, be it "Resolved, That no one-room school MiouM attempt to teach high school subjects. i "Whereas, jr. the past teachers Uiae occasionally underbid teachers I seeking the same position, be it i "Resolved, Tiat we condemn this i practice as unprofessional. "Whereas. The present Institute has been one oi the most successful land instructive institutes ever .held I iti Clackamas county, be it ! Hpwilveil. Tbat we extend a vote of thanks to I,. R. Alderman, W. T. Foster. K. D. Ressler, Dr. Evenden, Mr. Chaney, Dr. Calvin g. White, As sistant State Superintendent Carlton, Mrs. Anna Hayes, Miss Helen T. Kennedy, Miss Campbell and Miss Maud longhead for the inspiration and Instruction given; to the Hon. George C. IJrownell for his address of welcome, to the Commercial Club of the use of the club rooms, to the Ore gon City school board for the us6 of the high school building and to all others who helped to make our pro gram Instructive or interesting. "We thank Superintendent T. J Gary for his untiring efforts In our l half and congratulate him on the excellent Judgment exercised in the selection of his Instructors and as sistants. "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Governor and to each of tbe Oregon City papers." PUN CURTAIL HOI OSES INSTITUTE HAS BIG ATTENDANCE (Continued from page 1.) on "Success of language Material'; Mr. Ch.inoy on "Civil liovernmont nnd Miss Anna II. Hayes on "MiihIo In the Country Schools." The depart mental work ended Tues day and today will ho the last day of the Institute. F. ll. Iluchanan, president of the Clackamas Count) School league, will lull on "Spelling and Arithmetic Contests," II. M.

Fred, principal of Hie Barclay School, Oregon City, will speak on "Athletics." County Super intendent Ciury and the throe County Supervisors will make brief talks to the touchers. Mrs. Nlota Harlow ljw rence will render vocal numbers be fore the lecture by pr. Foster. The most successful touchers' In stitute ever held In Clackamas county came to a close Wednesday afternoon with an address by W. T. Foster, president Reed Institute, rortlutid, on "The Professional Spirit." Not only was there a large attendance of teachers to hear the address hut many other residents of this city and coun ty were present. Dr. Foster declared that the ma jority of teachers were underpaid, and said that many of them did not receive as much ftiianclul compensa tion for "their work ns factory girls. This fact he deplored, declaring that there could be no comparison between the work done. "Hut there Is a high er reward for the teachers," continu ed Pr. Foster. "It Is the reward that comes with success. No one should teach who docs not like the, work. The boys and girls do not appreciate what Is being done for them at the time, but they do later in life." The speaker said that there was no profession more honorable than that of teaching. The address was one of the most Instructive delivered nt the Institute and Dr. Foster was congratu lated by many of those who heard him. F. (J. Iluchanan, president of the Clackamas School league, delivered an address on "Spelling and Arithme tic Contests," and IL M. James, presl dent of the debating department of the School League, spoke on "Debat ing." He said that remarkable ad vancement had been nuide In this branch In the past three years. A. O. Freel principal of the Barclay school, spoke on "Athletics," and County Su perintendent Gary and the three county supervisors made brief talks to the teachers. Mrs. Meta Harlow Ijiwretice rendered several vocal se lections before the lecture by Dr. Foster. She sang most artistically, "Polaski, Awake," receiving a hearty encore, and responded In her pleasing manner with Kevins' "Oh, That We Two Were Maying." Mrs. Lawrence has the honor of being the first soloist to sing In the new Oregon City high school building. The women teachers, through a committee. Issued the following Wed nesday : "We, the lady touchers of Clacka mas county wish to express our ap preciation of ths delightful reception tendered us Tuesday evening In the Commercial Club parlors, at which time the gentlemen proved themselves such royal entertainers. Our unani mous thanks are hereby extended to them for an evening of unalloyed de light." HOPS! ISELL FREELY Liberal buying of hops Is reporteJ In the Willamette Valley, sales reach ing probably 500 to (100 bales. T. A. Lively Is the principal buyer, but the Seavey Hop Company Is likewise nil operator of importance. In nearly all Instances the price was 33c a pound. According to Herman Klaber, out of over ISO samples of Willamette Valley hops received of this season's crop, not a single one was found t" be moldy, while the quality othcwlse was the best ever known "in this state. Offers of Z'if to '-'M. a pound are be Ing freely made in the Russian River and Sonoma Districts of California, although the crop In the latter sec tion Is said to sho wt he poorest q ribry in years. Samples are said to show mold, honeydew and practically every other ailment that usually affects hop quality. Since the recent business at Z'c I'i the Sacramento section, no new de veliipineiits are reported In the hop trade there. Special cables from England mate that half of the hop crop there lb already sold and the market has ad vanced 10 shillings during the pus! week. From Germany comes the report thi-t the market Is weak and 10 marks lower. This is not deemed a bearish feature by the trade, because th? German market is much higher than any other In the world. From die to Sic ! pound is being paid net to growers there. 20,000 IN STRIKE CHICAGO, Sept. :;0. The threat ened strike of the shopmen of the Harriman lines to enforce recogni tion of the newly organized Federt tlon of Shop Workers became a real ity today. The number of men who quit in the fifteen states affected wai estimated at between 20,000 and P.O.O'M) by the union men, although tnliiiu f riitlwrhnift tlro liroslrlpnt If! the Harriman lines, said the number was much smaller. Reports from most of the points Indicated that the men walked out without demonstrate ns and no riot ing was reported. Traffic (was con tinued without Interruption and the railroad heads say that the strike, even if extended, would not Interfere with transportation.
