There are broad minded n.ittee. l is a o i. ct likely draft a bill that will favor any particular class of people or any particular section of the state to the ii. jury of other sections. Hy the very nature of things ;l state P'iJ roads bill must be fairly equit able in its terms, otherwise it will not jbe adopted. However, it is fu tile to hoi e for a measure that will pass muster as an absolutely equitable bi.l and which will have the support oi evtrybo '.y in ;dl parts of the state. As the East uroiro'nlan haj remark, ed before the IriiUans are the only I eople who ever did have an entirely equitable road policy. In their sav age days each Indian made a trail oi his own wherever he wanted to so. It v. as an equitable plan but needless t say it is not practicable nowadays. TJie task before the state commit t o t" Ira ft a measure that will be s .if. hie;, tiy equitable to pass muster and at the same time will be a 'mea sure that will get action. The trouble with much legislation' in the past is that the laws have been pas sive in nature and have accomplished little if anything. Oregon now needs a good roads law that will bring on good roads not a mile or two of roads here and .there, but a good roads system throughout the state. The work of the state wide com mittee "will be awaited with interest. 500 i MEN'S , HATS On Sale at HUE nc.

'FREE" LIGHTS TOO COSTLY. Through the columns of its servile beet an announcement is made by the Pacific Power & Light company that henceforth the strings of lights nn' Main and Court street will not be tused inless the company be paid for the service. That is good news. Pendleton wants nothing "free of cost" from the electric company. Anyone who gets something free usually pays for It and often pays dearly. A gift from a public service corporation s but an indirect bribe and the com pany always figures on getting it back, it is like water ued to prime a pump. It is the first to come back to the pumper and Is not lost. Local people want no "free candy" from the Pacific Power & Light com pany. What they want is good ser vice at just rates. If the company will but see that the street lights for vhich the city pays out its money are kept burning every night we can well do without free electricity for the streamer lights. If the free streamer lights, turned on seml-oecasionally, have been used to pacify local people and to keep them Hllent about poor service and about excessive rates then we have paid dearly Indeed for thost- stream ers. Take them away. We cannot afford such luxury. Furthermore, If there is to be or namental illumination on Main and Court streets it cannot be had by the Bsc of streamers. Many people con demn the streamers as worse than nothing and say they make the town look like a five cent carnival. Cluster lights are far better for purposes of ornamental Illumination. Let the Pacific Power & Light com pany and the telephone company V kn their unsightly poles off Main and Court streets ho that the cluster lights may have a show. The effect of the '.luster lights is .spoiled now and will be spoiled un bng as the poles remain. Uut with the poles and wires out of the way the cluster light poles could then be installed at regu lar Intervals along the streets tind the busints section made a place of light and beauty. What other favors are to be with drawn by the electric company? Let u? hear about thern. This Is the pro per time. While the wheels are grinding let us work out the grist. JUNE 29 IN 1USTOUY. Emper- Into AS TO HKHATES, I.TC. "The Pacific Power & Light com pany has always rebated the muni cipal light bill when arc lights were out anl It has always given the city greater service than the bills de manded." says the paper that licks the toes of the electric company and of certain other corporations. Fine, if only true. But It Is strange Indeed that rebates do not appear upon the books of the city. The rec ords show 'that during the past seven months the city of Pendleton has handed $304 ever 30 days to the elec tric company for street lighting and there Is no record of any rebating. Yet arc lights have been out many t.mes during tho past seven months. Scarcely a night goes by without some of the arcs being out of commission. Following the anglers' banquet Mon day night a north side resident could scarcely find his way along Jackson street because every light on that street was off. And there was n ) liquor served at the anglers' banquet either. Why is it if rebates are granted those rebates do not lessen the city's monthly bills? Why is it that coun cilman who have pretty good mem ories cannot recall" the time when any such rebates were granted? As to the reasonableness of the charges i"or street lighting this paper will pass no opinion at this time. That Is a subject that is being Investi gated by the Commercial club and the investigation will be fair ami Im partial. It may be mentioned however that J300 per month means $3,600 per year for street lighting and when- A this sum Is added a similar amount the Pacific Power & Light company gets for pumping city water It may be seen that-the company draws down about $7000 per annum ffom the city government alone. In other words the city pays for electricity each year a sum that means five per cent interest on an Investment of $140,000 a sum that would go far towards establishing a municipal el ectric plant should the city care to go Into the business Itself. 1519 Charles V. declared or by tho electoral votes. 167S Granadiers Introduced England. 1794 Moreau entered llruges, Brit Guadarolupe. ish Ostend.

During the past two weeks a great deal has been heard of the plan of tho republicans to put Mr. Borah on the national ticket next year, giving him the place now occupied by Vice President Sherman. Republicans do not attempt to conceal the fact that they no longer regard Mr. Sherman as an avilable man for the republican national ticket, especially in a year when Mr. Taft will find it perhaps, a difficult matter to pull himself through.
