It was Mrs. Jameson who wrote "a
bond Is necessary to complete our be
ing, only we must be careful that the
bond does not become bondage." Some
of our towns, like Mil ford Center, O.,
for inrtance, that have abandoned mu
nicipal ownership, but are still kept
busy paying for it, would have done
well to have cut this wise saying out
and pasted It In the municipal hat be
fore proceeding further in their Uto
pian schemes.
The man who said that figures never
lie would probably have modified his
assertion somewhat If he had hired an
expert accountant to go over the ac
counts of these very profitable munici
pal ownership ventures that so success
fully "reduce" taxation In British com
munities while multiplying the public
debt by 19, as In case of Birmingham.
A figure may be the most truthful
thing In the world and yet betray vast
Imaginative powers when It gets down
to business in the hands of an official
"reporter" who wants to hold his Job.
The verb "to graft" means to insert
Into a plant that Is to say, when you
Insert a politician Into a gas plant, or
a power plant, or an electric light
plant, or a street car plant, you get a
complete case of graft Whatever may
be said against municipal ownership,
on its behalf it must be admitted that
for the expert professional grafter it
affords an abundant field of endeavor
and one which be most assuredly will
not let die of neglect The only ques
tion Is whether or not the process will
Improve the breed.

The Inevitable Issue of the Tom
Johnson system of municipal owner
ship of the street railways will be the
establishment of the zone system of
fare collection that Is, Instead of one
fare the consumer will be called upon
to pay three or four fures unless, of
course, he prefers the ozone system,
which Involves the return to the old
fashioned method of transportation
known as 'hank's mare," so popular
with our forefathers.

It is reported that the municipal
pawnshops of Paris are a failure. It
Is a pity. It will keep the British hu
morists from talking about municipal
loanership, and that will be a real loss
to lovers of that particular kind of
humor all over the world.

We cannot be outdone In enterprise

we therefore offer our readers a miss
ing line limerick, for the best comple
tion of which received between now

AN ALMOST UNANIMOUS VOTE
The Citizens of Trenton, Mich., Are
All Qlad to Be Rid of a Burden.
By a vote of 142 to 18 this village re
cently decided to sell for $8,000 the
electric light plant, installed in 1902,
and the waterworks (except the dis
tributing system), Installed in 1890.
The original cost of the latter was $8,
000, while $16,000 had been expended
on the former. As a result of placing
these plants In a public street the vil
lage bad been engaged in litigation for
five years, the final decision being
against It
In 1905 the building was destroyed
by fire. Although it was insured and
rebuilt the plant has not been well
kept up since, and there have been
the usual differences between'the coun
cil, the superintendent and the water
and light board, finally resulting In
abolishing the board.
An investigation by the council dis
closed the fact that, aside from depre
ciation, the plant was losing at least
$500 a year and that this loss would
be considerably increased if they un
dertook to give the twenty-four hour
service desired by some of the citizens.
Their deelslpn was unanimous and
was sustained by an almost unanimous
vote of the qualified electors.

Friday afternoon. May 29, the pupils
of the public school rendered a very
enjoyable programme In honor of two
graduates from the ninth grade, Opal
Langenberg and Mary Flaherty. At
the close of the program their teacher,
Miss Munson, presented the young
girls with their diplomas, and In a few
fitting words commended them for the
creditable work they had performed
during the term. Miss Edna Arm-

strong then announced the pleaBtng
fact that two of the primary puQUs
were entitled to a reward for faitb,fui
attendance, Dora Barnwolster and
Merle Webster, having been neither
absent nor tardy during the school
year. Of Miss Munson's pupils, Her
bert Holcomb, had made the same i-ec-ord.
An epidemic of mumps had
spoiled the otherwise faithful attend
ance of a good many scholars. A tew
words of commendation for teachers'
and pupils were given by Mrs. W. B.
Moore, Mis. Langsborg and the writ
er. The Mothers Club held a short
session after the school was dismissed.
It was voted, by motion, that each
member of the club pay ten cents into
the treasury to make up the Bum nec
essary to buy a cover for the organ.
An informal talk pertaining to school
matters followed. The meeting was
adjourned to meet at the call of the
president.
Miss Opal Langenberg entertained a
pleasant party of young people last
Saturday eveuing.
The Sunday School of the Congrega
tional church held Children's Day ser
vice Sunday, May 31. The decorations,
especially the screen of ferns and ros
es, were very beautiful. A good pro
gram was rendered, and a generous
collection taken for the benefit of
Mission Sunday schools in tne state.
The Clackamas baseball team play
ed against Damascus and Oak Grove,
Sunday afternoon. The home team
beat Damascus 20 to 1, and also beat
Oak Grove 7 to 5.
Election day passed quietly, seem
ingly none the worse for having "the
women" exercising their right of cook
ing and serving good .meals. The Lad
ies' Aid netted $19.50 for the treas
ury, and had a very pleasant social
time. The young people of the C. E.
society served ice cream and cake
and netted a neat little sum.
The funeral services of the wife of
Charlie Naas, former resident of this
place, were held In the Congregation
al church on Memorial Day. A little
company of veterans followed the pro
cession to the Clackamas cemetery,
and decorated the graves of their
comrades. Altogether the observance
of the day was rather unusual and
sad.
