fHE COBVALLIS GAZETTE Tuesdays and Fridays, CORPORATIONS. The President's recent mes sage to congress shows his even temper of mind and clear dis crimination in pointing out the way to regulate the great cor porations of the present day so as to make them useful to the people and supervise their opera tions as to eliminate the harmful results to the public which may occur where there is no regula tion. An occasional enthusiast construes the president's earnest recommendations as pointing to ward an implied threat to favor goverment ownership, while the public utterances of the Presi dent before and since his election has pointed against government ownership and in favor of strict "supervision and regulation. Gov ernment ownership of corpora tions means that all the great en terprises of the country shall be carried on and operated by the government thus eliminating all private ownership in any of the rvasif Vmsinpss enternrises of the country where they become too large and require more capital to 4. inoie.ccn-'cause ciate together, under ownership not corporate. One with a vivid imagination insists that the government should own and operate the great railroad and transportation en t.prnrises. another finds that an other class of work should beinals. carried on by the government, and by, the time that we satisfy all of the peculiar ideas found in the minds of different men, we would have all of the business of the country owned and operated ! by Uncle Sam, and we would all j counties wnere tnese onenses are have to work for our dear old committed shall take the initiato uncle on a salary. j rysteP which under ordinary cir- There is no reason why every cumstances would be proper, corporation cannot be supervised But the organized bands of crim and regulated under proper laws als under the guidance of cat so as to be of vast benefit to the tlemen are largely m the ascen public and still guard against dency and bent on driving out and eliminate the disturbance to and exterminating the sheep in the public cood when the ab-'dustry and if necessary shoot senceof proper supervision un-! every sheep on the range to carry derjust laws is found wanting. ut their Plans- Thelawabid- It was the theory carried out inS citizens in the respective lo bylaw under the rule of kings calities are powerless to combat that the government should own tms criminal element.

Like many enterprises the industry cannot be handled by individuals for lack of sufficient capital. Corporations are good or bad as are the individuals who own and operate them, the same as all other classes. If the owners or operators are good or bad so will be the corporation. To guard against the evil results from the bad owners the recom mendation of the President for laws requiring strict supervision and frequent examination into their affairs by competent men and the most thorough reports making public the results to the l ill T. pt upie as recommeimeu rre the saf etruards for the neonle. ' DESTROYING SHEEP. The killing of four thousand head of sheep by sheepshooters last spring in the Silver Lake country followed soon after by the murd er of Creed Conn, the Sil ver Lake merchant, whose knowl edge of the shooting of the sheep the criminals feared would bring them to justice, is brought vivid ly to mind when the newTs of a similar occurrence is chronicled in Central Oregon. Recent news from Prineville states that six thousand head of sheep slaugh tered, of an approximate value of $2,000, without a single in dictment by the grand jury, is the record of the past season. The same authority states that, "The first organized bands of sheepshooters were for the ex press purpose of protecting the range from so-called outside sheep, their efforts have never been directed at anything but the apparent extermination of home sheep, that all public range could thus be conserved for the indi vidual use of the cattleman to exclusion of all "other kinds of stock." Is it possible that such condi tions of wanton destruction of property and murder, can con tinue in any part of a civilized country like the United States? If it were in some countries pos sibly not so free as ours, detec tives would be put on the trail of the criminals and they would be placed in the penitentiary where they belong. Mr. Conn met his death because he was supposed to have definite knowl edge of the parties who did the killing of sheep. In the locality where the last 6000 sheep were wantonly killed, law abiding citizens are no doubt fearful of losing their lives if they should make any move to punish the or- ! ganized bands of criminals in j killing the sheep industry, be- it is claimed the cattle kings, are the leaders of these organized bands of outlaws. If such is the case it follows that the citizens of other parts of the state should organize plans which will result in hunting down and punishing these crimi- These occurences are a disgrace to the fair name of Ore gon. The law officers of the state should take immediate steps to purge Oregon of this disgrace. It may be said that the officers and law abiding citizens of the to justice the criminals named.
