The Water Question
'4.
v Kdilor Review: Why Is it that
you have nothing to say in regard
to the water question? It is a live
question and might hear sonic dis
cussion. Do you hclieve the water
company wilt be compelled to lower
its rates? A few of your readers,
at least, would like to know what
you think about it. Let us have it.
Reader.
" Using the above anonymous mis
slvc as a motif, we will have our
little sny on thr water question.
. Wc have refrained from comment'
ing upon the question wholly as a
matter of policy. We have asked
no special favors of the water com
pauy and have received none. Our
relations have been pleasant. Wc
have the same regard for it as wc
have for our other patrons. It
paid for what job printing wc have
done for it, and no more. A square
deal is all that wc huvc ever given
or received from it. So far wc have
seen no good reason why wc should
"lunin Into the water enmnauv."
as several citizens have advised us
to do. If the prices arc too high,
raud they can be lowered by the city
t. 1 ... .f..J
council or any uouy 01 citizens, a
newspaper full of comments would
not alter thc-conditions in the least.
It would have no effect upon the
course adopted by the water com
pauy, neither would it nor should
it affect the action of any other
body of citizens. Simply stated, it
would be a case of butting in when
butting in was not desired.
"Do you believe the water com
pauy will be compelled to' reduce its
rates?" Frankly speaking, no. If
there is a taw in the laud that gives
the consumers power to establish
their own rates lor their water or
any other utility, we believe it tin
constitutional. It would be nice in
advertising the advantages of St.
John to state: "Water at your own
price; ttic company has nothing to
do with the rates. It is just as low
as you wish to make it." We have
never heard or read of an
instance where consumers could
by law establish rates to suit them
selves, except where municipally
owned, or at time of granting fran
chise. Therefore, it is our belief
that the water rates will not be
lowered by force. Hut that they
will voluntarily be lowered by the
company after the hue and cry has
gone for naught, we do believe.
We were not in sympathy with the
pet it bus circulated demanding thut
council exercise its so-called power,
because, doubting the efficiency of
the so-called law, we believed a pe
tition, couched in respectful terms,
such as one would wish addressed
to himself, signed by a generous
portion of the consumers, asking
the water company to tower its
rates if possible, would have bro't
the desired result. Courtesy and
kindness wilt often do more than
the invoking of a doubtful law. As
a matter of fact, Mr. Kdlefsen in
formed us the company expected to
lower the rates after the annexation
case had been satisfactorily settled,
as an agreeable surprise to its pat
rons, liut just theu a candidate for
local office came out and declared
he had the nerve and would use his
efforts in forcing the company tolow
er rates. Had the company then
lowered the rates, the candidate
would have gotten all the credit for
forcing (?) the company to act.
Next the council was petitioned to
use any power it might possess to
force lower water rutes, and it is
still up iu the air. While we dis
agree with the manuer of proceed
ure, yet it is not our purpose to cen
sure the city attorney or any oue
else for the method they used. It
is'all right to give the so-called law
a test. That is the only way to
discover its merits. As to the pres
ent water rates being exorbitant,
one must know the expenditures
before being competent to judge.
This we do uot know. Personally
we would like to see water rates 25
cents per month, and everything
else in proportion. In this day aud
age men are prone to condemn cor
porations and combinations of capi
tal, without looking at matters from
a corporation's viewpoint, without
taking the matter of expense into
consideration.
As a matter of fact, it seems nat
ural for us all to compare the rates
here with those of Portland, forget
ting that the rates there were prac
tically the same as now exist here
up until 1893; that in that city the
rate is far below meeting expenses,
the deficit being met by additional
bond issues, and the fact that Port
land lays mains at its own expense
on improved streets solely; forget
ting the fact that St. Johns has de
veloped from a small hamlet to a
fair sized city in nine years, requir
ing miles aud miles of main exten
sioa. Neither do we consider the
fact that Vancouver, a city many
years old and three times our pop
ulation, at the expiration of a 25
year frauchise, has given another
Taxes Stagger Him
They have a strange and lucid
(?) way of issuing statement ol tax
es in Josephine county. A friend
of ours iu the Kast has written
us complaining of the excessive
taxes charged to him. Several
years ago he purchased a timber
tract of 160 acres is miles irom
Grants Pass iu Josephine county.
Kach year since the taxes have been
crowine at a startlintr rate. This
year the sheriff sent him word to
the effect that his taxes were more
than $50. The statement, if it
might be termed that, gave no in
formation as to what the tax was
to be used for, how it was to be
dispensed simply the bare fact
that his taxes for last year were
$50.67. Relieving that the owner
was entitled at least to the satisfac
tion of learning the tax levy in
mills, and the different funds it was
to be dispensed to, the editor wrote
the sheriff, asking for this informa
tion, but after a couple of months'
time no word could be received.
If this is nu ordinary case of how
business is transacted iu the state,
no wonder outside capital is loath
to invest iu Oregon. The tetter
reads iu part: "I wrote the other
day to Grants Pass for a statement
of taxes on mv timber claim; I am
sending you the statement. Do you
think they charge more for taxes
on account of living out of the state?
The taxes when I first got the claim,
I believe, was between $20 and .125;
now it is $50.67. How iu the
world can they have the conscience
to charge such a tax, or what is
their object, aud what do they do
with the money? I have been try
ing hard togct rid of the tract, but the
highest offer I have had is $2000.
One party ctaimcd that $1500 was
n good price for it. How can they
charge 150,67 taxes 011 property
that will only bring 72000 at mostf
They surely must be grafters out
there. No wonder people arc turn
ing South more than to the West if
all conditions arc anything like this
iu other laud taxes."
for fifty years at almost the iudeu
tlcal rates we are paying. The
only tiling wc seem to clearly real
izc is that wc are paying too much
for water, aud want the price re
duced. It seems to be human na
ture to want things cheap, regard
less of cost of production.
The water question, we realize, is
a delicate one, aud to say a word
iu defense of the company is regard
ed as almost criminal in the eyes of
many. The company did show
lack of judgment when it originally
spent $30,000 for the old plant here
that later had to be discarded and
replaced. They should have in
vested their money in at. Johns
realty and let some other party
wrestle with the water problem. Yet
real estate and the water franchise
went begging until the present
company took hold and began to
improve the system.
We predict that the price of wa
tcr will be towered, but not until
force has fruitlessly exhausted itself.
We shall wait aud see.
A Startling Discovery
The bakers who closed their an
nual state convention left the city
laughing over a story told them by
a bread business expert in one of
the sessions. The expert said that
a young married couple not long ago
purchased a carnage tor meir oniy
child. Having this pride of their
hearts with them at the time, they
made active use of the purchased
article ou their journey home.
They noticed that passing pedes
trians looked at them and smiled,
and some of them looked after them
smiling. Finally the husband
walked ahead and looking back to
satisfy his curiosity, was surprised
to see a tag liangiug on the oottom
of the carriage marked: "Our Own
Make."Altooua (Pa.) Gazette.
A Perilous Trip
A ten-year-old daughter of I,. B.
Carley, living north of O'Niel, iu
Holt county, Nebraska, was swept
out of her father's arms while he
was rushine to a storm cellar, and
carried ten miles by a tornado. She
landed practically unharmed in a
grove where she remained in the
cold all night, being found next
day. The girl suffered from the
cold and her clothing had been torn
when she struck the trees, but sue
will recover. The tornado swept
through Holt county dipping at
various points and covering a terri
tory six to eight miles wide and 50
long.

Commercial Club
A goodly attendance was present
at the regular meeting of the St.
Johns Commercial club last Friday
evening. Arrangements for the
holdiug of the Sweet Pea Show and
Regatta were furthered. The so
liciting committees reported sub
scriptions to almost $1000, with
more in sight. Blue prints showing
the assessment of the various real
estate in St. Johns were ou hand,
through the courtesy of W. U.
North, Deputy Assessor, and arc
open for investigation ou the part
of any citizen interested in lcamiug
what his property is assessed nt. It
being apparent that the prints
showed inequitable assessments in
a number of instances, A. v.
Davis, A. R. Jobcs aud John N.
Kdlefsen were appointed as a com
mittee to recommend any changes
that might to them seem inequita
ble. Ii. S. J. McAllister, a prominent
attorney of Portland, was present
aud gave a most interesting address,
dealing principally with good roads.
He handled the subject from a phil
osophical standpoint rather than
from an economical one, although
he nroved conclusively that good
roads were ever a paying proposi
tion. He told of the beneficent in
fluences irriadiating to remote dis
tricts by reason of good avenues to
the cities aud civilization; how de
generacy and ignorance is rampant
and inevitable where good nrtcries
do not lead out to n higher plane of
civilization. He cited instances of
degeneracy in secluded localities
where it was almost impossible to
reach by the present trails, and
claimed it was only ou account of
uoucommunion with other fellow
beings that it was so. Good roads,
he declared, means much more than
a saving iu dollars and cents, aud
he advised his hearers to support
all the good roads measures. Mr.
McAllister is a most pleasing speak
er with a fine address, aud his re
marks were listened to with rapt
attention. He brought out many
new thoughts that were keenly ap
preciated. The "Blue" Sky Bill
The editor has received from Sec
retary of State Olcott n copy of the
Blue Sky bill which win be initiated
at the November election. The
ill. dcsimied to protect purchasers
of stocks aud bonds aud to provide
for the thorough regulation and sup
ervision of corporations, is modeled
after the famous Blue Sky law of
Kausas. The Oregon bill lias been
n the course of preparation for
mouths aud has been revised aud
approved by some of the best low
ers aud business men In the state.
The odmiustration of the corpora
tion law now costs about $7000 per
year. Under the new law the ex
pense will be about, $12,000, but
this is ninro than offset bv the new
sources of revenue provided in the
bill, which, it is estimated by the
Secretary of State, will add about
$20,000 to the present annual re
ceipts from corporations, iu addi
tion to saving the people of the
state at least a million dollars a year
now thrown away on worthless
stocks and bonds.
Any reader of this paper desir-
iug to see this bill become a law
may help the cause by calling at
this office and signing the initiative
petition. Prompt action will be nec
essary as the completed petition
must be filed in Salem not later than
July 3.
Introduces Two Bills
Congressman Laffcrtv has intro
duced two bills recently limiting
the hours of labor in the District of
Columbia. The first is a copy of
the California law of 191 1, which
has just been held constitutional by
the California supreme court, auu
which limits the hours of labor of
femnfe pmnlnves in department
stores, factories, hotels, lanudries,
and other public places, to not more
than eight hours in one day and
not more man 4s nours iu auy one
wpflr. T.uffertv's second bill, intro
duced at the same time; limits the
hours of all employes, male or fe
male, to eight hours a day and 48
hours n week, excent those whose
duties are performed on vessels aud
trains of common carriers in transit,
who may be employed not exceed
ing 12 hours a day and not exceed
ncr 60 hours a week. Both meas
ures were referred to the committee
on
the District of Columbia.

A Review of Reviews
From issue of November 18, 1904.
J. II. Cromc, editor:
The first brick building is now
in course of erection iu St. Johns,
being built by L. B. French, a cou
ple of blocks south of the school
house. It is 25x50, two stories
high. The erection of this build
ing is an epoch in the history of St.
Johns.
The question has been frequently
asked whether or no the price of
real estate in St. Johns is too high.
No, wc don't think prices arc too
high, aud believe they will go
higher yet. (To show that the
editor was uot mistaken wc cite a
few offers running iu advertise
ments iu the same issue: $900 lot
tooxtoo near woolen mills. $1600,
lot 100x100 iu business center. Lot
60x100 two blocks from school
house $300. One-fourth acre in

four blocks from business center
$170, r 00x100 overlooking the
river, $450. tooxtoo three blocks
Irom the saw mill, $ 575 ISd.)
P. W. I Unman has about com
plctcd n substantial two story busi
ness block, corner Ivanhoc aud
Chicago streets.
The great need of a bank is felt
iu St. Johns. The volume of busi
ness transacted here daily will am
ply repay such an institution, aud
the accommodation it would be to
the busiucss'publlc would be im
measurable. G. W. Simmons, superintendent
of Road District No. 5, has done a
considerable amount of grading
aud graveling, especially ou Wil
lamette boulevard.
A telegraph office iu St. Joints is
becoming n necessity and it is hoped
the telegranh companies will
act in this matter nt an
early date. (The hope is still in
dulged in occasionally ISd.)
O. IS. Learned will plat the ten
acre tract just beyond the school
house aud put it 011 the market iu n
few days.
Messrs. Richard and W. Shcpard
have purchased a tract of three
acres four blocks from Oak Park
station and will place it ou the
market nt once. It will be known
as Oak Park Addition No. 2.

The W. R. C. Convention
On the morning of June 19, 1912,
n part of the delegates, the Presi
dent, oue of the past presidents and
one member of the St. Johns W. R.
C. started for Salem, Ore ,to attend
the W. R C. convention and after
arriving there, four of us fell into
good hands ns to a place to sleep.
As there is a fine cafeteria iu Salem
we were soou testing it. Then we
went to the ISlk's hall, where the
W. R. C. convention was to meet.
There were 229 delegates iu all of
the W. R. C. Of the department
officers, St. Johns secured one plum,
as we have the department chap
lain, Mrs. Minnie Hall, for our
share. We had a very harmonious
time from the time wc started from
home until we returned to the same.
Press Cor.
Oregon has a good chance to win
the national prize for advance in
earth education this year. The
committee has under way an ex
hibit showing how 75,000 boys aud
girls of the state have been inter
ested in the new competitive gar
dening contests and how 10,000
Portland School children were en
listed in similar work in this city
alone. Perhaps no other state ever
gave such liberal support to this
movement at the outset. The next
step, it is expected, will be to make
this industrial education an integ
ral part of the state school system.
