SO ARE WE _ .By CHABLIS GARLAND. Bustards Bay, N. T. COMMUNICATED Multnomah State Bank “Shadow in Lents?” “I Refuse to Take the Million Legacy Because the Money Is Not Mine.” W ith a N ew L ink of Ajax and Michelin Tires I have renounced my right to a milhon-dollar legacy left me by my father. I refuse to take the money because it is uot mine. A system which starves thousands while hundreds *re stuffed condemns itself. A system which leaves a sick woman helpless and offers it* servtaaa to a healthy man condemns itself. It is such a system tliat offers me a mil lion dollars. It is blind to the simplest truth known to every child, the truth that the hungry should be fed and the naked clothed. I havo had to chouee between the loss of private property and the law which is written in every human heart I choose the one which I believe tu be true. f believe I could do no good with the money. It is the man who gives food to the hungry who does good, uot tbs dollars given in exchange for the food. 1 would be happy to bo the man if I had the food to giro, but I cannot lend myself to handling the money that is uot mine even though the good that might be dune is possibly great There are great opportunities to do good, but they are iu men's heart*, not in the check book. but it may now be confidently said that there is a wide-spread recogni tion of th« right of such corporations as this to receive from the users of their service an amount equivalent to the cost of that service, and today there is also public recognition of the principle that investment honestly made and competently administered is entitled to a fair return. We may look forward, therefore, with confi dence that we will receive fair treat ment as long as we deserve it. Maney to finance this company has heretofore been sought principally outside the state of Oregon. It is be lieved that it would be mutually ad vantageous if we. who are employed by the corporation, and also ths peo ple directly served by the corporation, should be financially interested in it. With this purpose, the corporation is now offering to its employes, its pa trons and the public generally $1.000.- 000 of 5-year gold notes bearing 8 per cent interest. The new invest ment for sdditional facilities to be made during the year 1921 will ma terially exceed the amount of the note issue now offered. —PORTLAND RAILWAY. LIGHT h POWER COMPANY.
