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.
