The Evening Observer lias ever stood for reform. We
have criticized tlio public service conmii.s.sioii, and even at
times we have favored one man instead of three on tho
commission, but now comes a movement to initiate !.
measure to abolish and do away entirely with the com
mission and all of its work.
No, this cannot be. It is a wrong principle. We can
not as loyal citizens of Oregon turn the public utilities
loose without some restriction, without some means of
bringing to account the utility that is so situated it has
the people at its mercy.
"""The voters, wo believe, realize that while there are
commissioners occasionally elected who are not suitable
for their offices, who know little of what is going on, yet
itTs not wisdom for the state to let down the bars entirely
to'the public utilities of Oregon, most of which arc owned
largely by non-residents and who aro financially interested
f in this state as u business basis.
The initiative petition which is now being circulated
to abolish tho commission has little ground to stand upon.
i It is not sponsored by the Chambers of Commerce of Ore
t gon, nor the (Irange nor the Labor organizations. It 'is
Very plainly a movement of individuals who hope to issue
propaganda and at the bottom of it you will find some
E BCUIBU motive.
; i
I ; In all seriousness, let us all put the stamp of disapproval
z on propaganda. H in the menace of the country today,
fund we find it slicking out in this initiative measure like
I ix (sore thumb.
i Make the utilities live up to the proverbial square deal,
Jliilt let them live, is the best slogan that can be adopted
tby Oregonians.
! We are not in favor of loosing the reins of restriction
;on..thoso who serve the public, neither are we in favor of
confiscation of their property.
I Everyone of us has a place to fill in this great scheme
-t,f-life. Human selfishness is ever present, and that is
wby we must have a public utilities commission of some
Hrind that will function.
' Admitting that at times we have become exasperated !
(Willi some ol the decisions ol that nuinist bod v. vet we !i,ai"'' "..
Inej'er have felt it was good .judgment to do
iplan which every state in the union has adopted
J No, it is not the (iiieslion of abolishing the coinmis
sion, it is plainly a question of getting the light men in
:officc. As citizens Mid voters your obligation is apparent.
Vou can accomplish nothing by tearing, down a house that
(shelters you, or even partially shelters you. The thing to
:do, is to get in and fix the roof. You can do this by ex
ercising the right of franchise which is freely given to
juvcry American citizen, but you can't do it by advocating
the initiative petition which deslioys all the work which
)ias been done for the past decade in attempting to csta
Ilish protection to the public.

. No doubt exists about the fact that coffee
contains caffeine, a drug which doctors prescribe
as an emergency stimula.?.. for the heart and
nervous system; and many coffee drinkers know
from experience that,' for .them, coffee causes
nervousness, headache or stomach trouble.
Since so many people, including health au
