It would be a very proper move for the city of Corvallis to get authority from the legislature for an issue of bonds for construction of a city-owned and city-operated light plant. Authority to issue need not necessarily mean actual issue of the bonds. The object should be rather to have the auth ority as a fighting resource in case the present light monopoly ignores the universal demand for a better service. No citizen knows what the future has in store for Corvallis in this matter of lights. If present conditions continue they will be come intolerable. No competing company dares come in for the Wil lamette Valley company with its monopoly of the whole state could quickly crush any competitor who would have the temerity to nnder take to do business in Corvallis. The method would be the same that Standard Oil has always in voked with such deadly effect. Meantime, aside from its employ es, the monopoly does not care what the people of Corvallis think of its service. If the city were in a position to install a plant of its own at any moment, it would have at least one weapon left with which to fight, Authority to issue bonds with a light commission named in the bill to carry out the plan, if necessary, would be an eminently fitting measure for the city to bring about. It would be a measure of precaution with a possibility that the bonds would never be issued. By taking the step, we would be armed and able to do business, if we have finally to fight.

Shall Not the County Have the Fruit Laws Enforced Shall the Orch ards not be Protected? To Editor of the times : ri , It seems a pity that when we have laws we do not enforce them; especially is thi3 so when -everybody knows that the laws are for the good of the country. The state legislature has passed a law compelling every resident of the state take care of his fruittrees and also against allowing any wormy or diseased fruit to be sold : in the market. Are these laws being enforced?; If they are I have not seen any evidence of their enforcement. The entmtv court of each countv is given power to appoint a fruit in- 1 1 j f. 1 1 1 L. 1 specior, wnose uucy 11 suiMi os 10 6ee that ". these , laws are enforced.' And has our county court done this ? Other counties are getting far ahead of Benton in this matter and that the fruit inspector of each county is a wide-a-: wake : man is" attested to by their presence at the short course at OAC this week. What good does it . do a fruit grower to spend money in pruning and spraying, both for scale and worms, when his neighbor, across the fence pays no atteotion to fighting the various orchard pests. While we continually boast of having the finest county in the Willamette Valley, we are letting this very important industry of fruit culture drag, while our neigh-' boring counties have recognized the value of these laws and have, fruit inspectors who are enforcing, them. At the last meeting of the I,inn County Horticultural Society it was voted that the sense of the? meeting was that the fruit inspector should enforce the laws rigidly j and to tne letter. ; If we had an inspector who dared to do his duty end was sup ported by the Ipeople, one that would pour oil on wormy ibr scaly fruit when found in the market,' and one that would travel through the country and see that" laws were enforced, it goes' without saying tnat we could become one of the best apple counties in the state, not surpassed by either Hood River or Rogue River.
