But we can't keep silent in tVe face of the campaign misrepresentation which is beincr wa atainst Douglas McKay. Backers of Gregory are violent in their assertions that McKay is going to wreck the program for municipal ownership of the wafer system, and will thwart the will of the people, as expressed in the! last election. Any such asser tions deserve the short and ugly word. - . Douglas McKay has said over and over again that he favors municipal ownership of the water system; and fur ther that he will seek conscientiously to carry out the will of the people as expressed in the charter amendment ad opted at the last election. That means "MOUNTAIN WAT ER".' McKay hasn't dodged that issue and isn't going to. If v anyone is voting for him on the theory that he will violate the mandate of the people or that! he will hamstring the project and hold it up, they hid betted save their votes; because Mc Kay Is a man of his word and has no intention of gaining of fice under false pretenses. The people have voted on the wat er question and McKay is both good enough American cit izen and wise enough politically to know that the will of the ' people must be obeyed. j i , - There is no deep, dark plot afoot in city politics ; and no designs to deliver the city bouijid hand and foot to the utility Interests.

A Lover of Democracy. Pendleton, Ore., May 4, 1931 to tne Editor: Oregon is represented In Con grass by two senators and' three representatives. Territorially the state is as large as New York, unio ana New Jersey combined which states have altogether six- senators and seventy-seven repre sentatives, perhaps more under the new apportionment. The rot ers of Oregon should not lose sight of the fact that, if the state Is to hold her own In the councils of the nation, she must send her ablest men . to. Washington and keep them there. Senator Stei- wer is beyond all controversy one of the ablest men on the floor of the senate. His achievements for both state and nation in the five years of his incumbency hare been remarkably notable. Rarely, it even In the history of the com monwealth, has any man been elected from this state to either house or . senate, who has so quickly and so surely grasped the legislative methods which obtain. or who has so broadly conceived his duties, or so courageously urged the measures which count largest for the future good of this commonwealth. Indeed of the re public . He stands high among his fellows Jn debate. In commit tees and In that diplomacy which crystalizes bills into statutes. We cannot gamble upon a change.

Editorial Comment , From Other Papers "Be it enacted, that the depart ment of weights and measures he instructed to change the cubie contents of the bushel from time to time to the end that an acre of land will raise the same number of bushels of spuds in years of drouth as in years of average tainfall." Nobody has proposed such a law but there would be as much reason for it as for the house bill requiring 'the treasury department and the federal re serve board to fix the dollar's purchasing--power at the 1921-21 average. There would be as much sense in making a mile of variable length to correspond with the dis tance the average automobile could travel In a given time. Per haps the hour would serve a more useful purpose if it were de creed to be a period of. time re quired for the average man to move a pile of rock. It seems passing strange that congressmen who . take from the national treasury', each yeaf tea thousand dollars do not know the meaning of even one dollar. They do not seem to realize that money is a unit of value, a medium of ex change, as one writer has express ed it: "The monetary unit is the common denominator of alt jnar ket values." : Any school, boy knows that nothing Is - accom plished by changing the name of the denominator, that one-third has the same value as two-sixths and that no act of congress can change the result,-. .
