The Ben Davis Apple The Ban Daria apple ia lovely in hue; II aaami to iiiTita yoa to ett up and chew. It'a pretty and ahapaly. It'a profile ia fine But I do not kmc for Baa Davie ia mine. To aat a Bra Maria ia waatinc your time; It taataa like a mattreae and drivee you to I ate a Baa Davie when I a-aa quit youR. And aow I recall it whenever I'm atunc. It tauffht aw a leaean. a Iraann I prixe. It eharpened my wolftaath and opened my area. And now whan a fakir cornea up oo my door. To eell ma ooma alork in a min full of ore. I think of Ben Daria. and amy to him "Nix", And tall him to vaniah and pelt him with bricka. And when I encounter an oily-tong-ued jay. Too rweet and too rrrcioua for man made of elay. Profeaainc affection, approaching to lore, I think of Ben Daria and give him a ah ore. I read in the macazine pagea Of men who'd make ua all wealthy, again and again; They're broker or dealers in moonshine and miat Juat aend them two bucks and they'll mail you a list! Their glittering spiela don't appeal to my wits: I think of Ben Daria and tnrow a few fits. Question Is Up To People A subsequent conference be tween tne water company and the representatives of the city council having fixed satisfactor ily the provisions under whic condemnation proceedings to de termine the price the city shall pay for the water plant. the council has lost no time in calling a special election to vote bonds for this purpose. Th election is fixed for July 8th i-Tom tne sentiment expressed by many of the citizens with whom we have talked, there does not seem any question but what the bonds will be voted, and this done the most important step in solving the water problem wi be accomplished. Citizens, however, should not take this as a certainty and should take an active interest in helping to promote the success of the proceedings necessary bring the water problem to a sue cessful conclusion in every re spect. Its speedy settlement means that a great deal may yet be accomplished before the - end of the year for a larger and bet ter water system, as well as for much needed street improve ments, which have been held in abeyance pending the definite outcome of the water situation, The council should have bot! the active and moral support of the community in every phase of the negotiations. Real or fancied grievances should be put aside for the overwhelming benefits which will accrue to the com munity through an amicable ad justment of the affair, allowing the city to take over the private system and install one that is in every way adequate to the needs of the town's growing citizen ship. The proceedings attending the suit to determine the price of the water plant will not be a bit terly fought contest as both par ties to the agreement are taking it up on what may be termed friendly basis, with a view to seeking a just appraisement o the price of the property. The water company has waived the right to any voice in the matter of fixing the place where the case shall be tried, leaving it to the council, which is inclined to bring the case to trial in Wasco county, where it is believed fair verdict can be reached. The right of appeal agreed on by the company and council, which, a t nowever, win be taken no farther than the Oregon State Supreme Court, can only be looked upon as equable. Al though there is little doubt that the company will get a just de cision in the lower court, it is but proer that it shall be protected against a very unexpected deci sion. As the city, however, is protected against an exorbitant price for the plant it has nothing to lose in the suit and everything to gain. In any event the people will have the deciding voice in giving the city its greatly needed new water system and they should rise to the occasion and let noth ing stand in the way of expedit ing a cause that is by far the most important in the history of its municipal affairs. Taft and The Tariff Secretary of War Stimson has been denounced as a "free tra der" by the American Protective League. The reason is not ex actly clear but his indorsement of the President's reciprocity program is probably at the bot tom. President Taft was also denounced as a free trader by Nathan T. Folwell, an official of the Protective Tariff League and president of the Manufacturers' Club of Philadelphia. It would be very hard to prove the charge against either gentleman. The incident is interesting be cause it discloses an historical parallel. The tariff barons of to day are acting like the slavery barons of ante-bellum timjes, and will propbably bring the same destruction on their heads there by. Stephen A. Douglas was as faithful a servant of the pro-slavery interests as Taft and Stim son are of the tariff interests. But he found it necessary once to make a slight concession of little practical importance to anti-slavery feeling. The slave holders never forgave him. They fought him bitterly when he was nominated for President and through their opposition Lincoln was elected. The fight which is being made against Taft and the Republican administration by the anti-protectionists may make it necessary for them to make some concessions to the people in order to keep the party in power. Mr. Taft no doubt had this in mind when he advocated Canadian reciprocity. In the fight that will ensue over the tariff until the next presidential election tne people at large, as usual, will pay the bill. The Light and Power Rates The reduction in light and power rates announced by the Pacific Light & Power Company will be received with much satis faction by the residents of Hood River many of whom have felt that they were paying on exor bitant rate. It was thought that the policy of the company which has a monopoly in the local field would probably be to increase rather than reduce rates. The explanation that the rates can be lowered on account of the consol idation of their plants making cheaper operating expenses is a tact patent to all, but coming from a big corporation is a sur prise almost as startling as would be the sudden appearance of .the millenium. An announcement of this kind from the telephone company would cap the climax. Tom Lawson Tom Lawson's claim that Hood River people are not alive to their opportunities and his optimistic predictions for the country are of course the point of view of the outsider who perhaps sees things that the constant resident over- ooks. There is no doubt, how ever, that there i3 a great deal in what Mr. Lawson says. Whili his opinions are not always con sidered absolute his wide knowl edge of business and industrial conditions are worth heeding. The future growth and prosperi ty of Hood River may indeed be on a much bigger scale than any body imagines.
