OREGON CITY AND Oregon City now has, for the first time, the PULL RUN WATER opportunity to ptin from the natural fastnesses of the mountains the purest water that nature has maile. Portland has aireel that the unlimited supplies now stored in the great reservoir on the tfp of old Mount Tahor are not to be used by her alone but that other cities are to be qiven the benefit of the supply as long as the demand does not in any way cut down the flow that passes through her own mains. The time will never come when Portland will suffer from I shortage of water supply, even though Oregon City taps the headwaters of the same stream that quenches the thirst of her many thousands and even though this city should grow to the same proportions that the state's metropolis has Rained. Stored in that natural treasure house in the mountains, an unlimited supply of water will always be available for the two cities, a supply of the fiest water that is manufactured and distilled in nature's own plant and that is so pure and free from the typhoid gathering germs as to equal the bet product that the world's filtering and chemical plants can produce. There is nothing better for Oregon City than the Bull Run water sup ply. It will settle, once and forever, the question that will otherwise be continually bobbing up as to the purity of the city w ater or the cause of the typhoid epidemics that may, from time to time, affect the interests of the city. . With the water of Bull Run passing through the city's mains there will, hereafter, be no question as to the purity of the water source nor any quibble as to the value of bacteriological or chemical examinations that may be made by th various authorities on those subjects in the state. To get the question settled once and for all is worth money to Oregon City. It will cost money to build that line to the headwaters of the creek and to tap the springs in the reservoir on the hill. But eveeything that promises a lasting value costs money and and things of value are worth money. There can be no question but that the water problem of Oregon City would be settled for all time to come by the construction of the mains to the reservoir at Mount Tabor and the tapping of that inexhaustible supply for the city. Coming down the mountain at that height above the city's level, there would be no necessity for a pumping station to maintain a high pres sure in case of fires and the most remote corner would be given force enough to handle all of the requirements for fresh water that might ever be pre sented. The Enterprise is heartily in favor of the suggestion for a Bull Run water supply. In fact, the first suggestion for this new source came from this paper itself. Eighteen months ago, it presented the idea to the people of the community and that idea has n6w been crystalized into definite shape. The concrete proposition will soon be presented to the voters of the community when Portland and Oregon City representatives get together in their conference over the terms of the proposition. It is a certainty that those terms will not be such as to in any way burden the city nor will it be a continual drain upon the city's resources and its treasury. It is also probable that the cost will be materially less annually than the cost of the present system, that the rates will be somewhat lower than they now are, and the whole supply can be turned through the mains, fresh from the filtering plant and factory of nature's own design, at a cost that vill be incredibly small compared to the benfits that the community will derive from the plan. The mere fact that Oregon City will have to construct its own mains to the tapping point in the reservoir is not a staggering one. The initial cost will not be ;reat. It will be something, of course, for benefits are not to be plucked from the limbs of every tree that grows by the road nor are they to be had simply for the asking. The voters of she city will realize that the plan is going to cost money, that it will take time, and that it will require capital. The construction of a pipe line capable of carrying the entire supply for a city of this size with its constantly growing population and prospects of many thousands more of population in the next few years is going to be no mere childs play. Nor will the cost be incidental. But there are things to be considered that make the financial aspect of the undertaking light and the initial cost small in comparison to the benefits to the city that may be reasonably and properly expected. In spite of the careful examinations of the best experts obtainable and their unbiased and un interested opinion upon the city water supply, there will always be those who will believe, and honestly, that the state board and other authorities have made a mistake and that water that comes from a river that is exposed as is the Willamette cannot, in spite of the best filtration and chemical plants, be anything else than filthy. Of course, such a conclusion is gross ly erroneous but that does not, in any way, alter the fact that there are those and will always be those who will believe it nevertheless. Bull Run water is as cold as the melted snows. It has enough vegetable matter of a harmless nature scattered through its millions of gallons to make it delicious. It is pure from any disease germs that could poison a popula tion as Oregon City has been poisoned in the last few months. In fact, the contract that will give to Oregon City the water of Bull Run is simply and wholly THE solution to the city's water problems and the answer to the questions that have puzzled city officials and medical men for months.

THE BANK OF OREGON CITY Oldest Bank in Clackamas County. the statute books hundreds of laws that are never enforced and that the var ious cities and towns ire merely adding to the general confusion by the multi plicity of ordinances that they enact. Some one has said that the trouble with the United State it that "we art a too much governed people." There are too many laws that are jammed into tin statute books of the state at every session of the legislature, When congre-is meets, every member of the national body feels that his constituents at home expect him to enact some sort of an idea into law and that his re election to the same seat is not an assured fact unless there is a fedrral law that bears his name. As a result, the country suffer from law. It groans under the weight of statutes and court decisions. Annually, the legal printing limiy-s issue libraries of decisions from the various courts that interpret the laws that have been made and that, by their interpretation, really enact new statutes to add to the general burden and confusion. In spite of this fact, however, the law is generally administered with an even temper and with the spirit of fairness and equality to all classes and conditions of persons in every unit of government. Sometime crimin als escape the punishment that their ofVnces deserve on a technicality in the construction of the law but the spirit of the courts everywhere is growing more and more toward the principle that justice cannot be served by a technic al construction of the statutes and that above ever) thing ele the justice and equity of every should determine its merits on appeal. So general has this spirit prevailed through the courts of the various states, that some of the legislatures have guaranteed decisions built on that theory by requiring the sumpreme courts to consider only the MERIT of the cases on appeal and to neglect the technical point that may be raised unless the interests of the party appellant are so injured as to necessitate a teversal of the decision of the lower court. At the same time and in spite of this construction of the law, the people of the United States are too much governed. There is a law for everything under the sun. It has been figured out by statisticians that there are about 500 misdemeanors that may be committed in some states for every one of which there is a penalty. In addition to this vast library of offences, there are the felonies against laws of the state that entitle the offender to a term n the penitentiary or to a fine of extraordinary severity. So much has America come to be governed, that the congress oi the United States, the legislature of the several commonwealths and the councils of the various cities and towns have exercised a paternal influence over the people of the units which they govern. Into the everday affairs of life, the hand of some authority is dipped. , Codification and simplification of laws bring the statutes down to date and make them easier of access but, in an incredibly short time, the legisla tures enact other statutes and other laws that put the codes out of date and that again make the legal situation more complex and puzzling than ever. Fewer laws and better laws is a slogan that has been used by commer cial organizations in several of the states and has had a wholesome effect upon the legislatures in putting a damper on the'ir ardor to enact laws and to fill legal libraries. An effort toward the manufacture of few laws and better ones has been made in some states where experts on legislative enactments are maintained as a part of the official family and where every measure is examined and weighed before it leaves the committee rooms and passes into the legislative chamber. Too much law, too much government is the trouble with the United States as it with Germany, to a greater extent. This country and every other country under thi sun would be better, would gain more material progress, would simplify the common every day affairs were there less in the way of law making and more in the way of law enforcement. Many laws with lax enforcement of those we have tend to breed con tempt for all law and instill the spirit of law breaking from the start. Every law now on the statute books of every unit of government should be enforced to the letter. If the people do not like the statute, they have the opportunity of wiping it from the records. Hut as long as the statute stays among the laws of this state or nation it should be enforced from the start :md every executive officer is charged with the duty of seeing that it is en forced and accomplishes the purpose that the congress or legislature of the state intended that it should when it was placed among the enactments of the governmental unit for which it was designed. INTERPRETING The tendency of the democratic powers that be o CIVIL SERVICE somewhat stretch the provision of the civil service reg ulations in making their appointments in fourth class post offices is disap pointing, especially since the official head of the majority party is one who favors examinations as a test for official position. From dispatches that have come from Washington, the democratic fav orite in the community is given the appointment as postmaster if he passes rhe examination with a percentages of 70 or over, even though his Republican competitor may have made a much better average and have shown signs of much more intelligence and ability. Though this is not exactly a violation of the civil service laws, it stretches the spirit of those laws somewhat and gets around the point that the legislators in the national assembly had in mind when that measure was enacted. To remove the fourth class offices from politics and to place them under stringent provisions of the rules of the service was a wise move on the part of President Taft, although it was neither a diplomatic nor a politic move. It showed that the president had in mind only the betterment of those offices and that he had no intention to reward with appointments and political favors any of his friends who happened to have other friends eager for of ficial honors. For a man who always represents that he wants his officials from the highest class of competent workers and able, at any and all times to pass any sort of competitive tests that may be required of them, to support such a move on the part of Postmaster General Burleson is disappointing to those who, even though Republicans, admire some of the many fine qualities and foresight of the democratic president. Wilson has never been a man who cringed in the face of what he believed was best, either for his state or for the country at large. He has bowed neither to the hand of great interests nor to the demands of his party. He has, at all times, been of that type of free thinking independence that Americans, in general, admire. It was his personality as much as from any belief in the principles of his party that gave him the election at the poll of the country last November and that placed him on the executive seat of the nation in March. Why he, above all others, would remain silent when the postmaster general is filling the appointments in the fourth class offices with political henchman at a sacrifice of ability and intelligence, as shown by the results of the examinations, is more than those who admire Wilson, both as a presi dent and as a man, can understand. The principles of the civil service should be maintained .at all cost and politics should be removed, as far as possible, from the government service where an actual knowledge of affairs and a business judgment is required in the management of the country's public business. To do otherwise would' be but to return to the spoils system that was inaugurated with Andrew Jack son and that has been a cancer in the side of American politics ever since that time. Board of Health, to get the information necessary for an accurate bulletin of vital statistic. An Interesting pom in connection with this bulletin is that In June under the head of "Cases of Typhoid Fever," the answer is "none." Every body in Oregon City know, this answer is perfectly true, and that the doctors and newspapers are wrong. VALUABLE INDEED The Oregon State Board of Health issues a IS THIS BULLETIN quarterly bulletin, that is full of information so erroneous that it is a wonder the Board does not discontinue the circulation of its pamphlet The Enterprise has called attention, a number of times, to the ridiculouv Iy absurd figures in this bulletin. For illustration the vital statistics for Clackamas County for April, 1913, show 45 births and 21 deaths, but no rrKirriorHHi TV ta 'if n tVoiltf trrA nr( 1 1 f eiti1 f 1 rl i ss.e-i A ion nnA ll's tY1V ,...a..a, a II 19 19 II uijr nuiiuii iui ai in ivai itu vuuuiiiuii - all expect the birth rate to decrease. I here were no marriage in May, yet there were 28 births and 26 deaths reported. In June there were 51 births in Clackamas County and 17 deaths, and again' no marriages. Every marriage ceremony must be reported to the county clerk within 30 days of the date of its performance, and this law is generally complied with. How easy, therefore, it would be for a representative of the State EXAMINERS FIND NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE Following the verdict of the coro ner's Jury at the.
