Griffith who attributes the decline in prices of se curities of the Central Public Service corporation to the gen eral debacle which has engulfed securities. He would make the decline the result of "general conditions", whereas the truth is that the placing of fictitious values on securities was a major cause of the crash and the "general conditions". - "rther, while it is correct to say that we are now indulging J" hndsight" which makes the CPS deal look pretty black; yet this holds true more with respect to the investor than to the manipulator.

With access to this information and with personal know ledge of the process which WAS (minor An Via ATAmiftnAa am1 i - financiers who engineered the me piea oi mistaKen judgment as defense, r Norj is the decline in C. P. S. prices due to falling off of earnings of operating units; for utilities maintained their earnings on operations long after the prices of holding com pany stocks had declined. Again we are inclined to doubt the wisdom of the effort to bulwark the totterintr atmpfiir nf TPS ' C - .VUWUb A lVl,l in- ship, it is alleged that a receivership is costly. It is, but often n is less cosuy man ine management has been. Samuel In sull was; receiving in personal salaries from his companies some $500,000 a year,, and other executives were liberally paid. Receivers of Midwest are ;iow reporting they have dras tically reduced operating expenses. Receivership does mean usually cleaning house of the executives who have caused the downfall; and in this part of CPS domain there will be no satisfaction until A. E. Peirce is out of all connection with the concerns. A receivership also often results in extinguishing much of the junior cap ital, but nearly always that has been washed out already; and reorganization is merely the necessary surgery to permit a company to live in financial health. : From an operating standpoint the CPS was unsound, in cluding as it did widely separated areas and greatly diversi fied utilities. The disclosures of the reorganization Indicate that' its financial set-up was also very insecure. The jockey ing of blocks of securities back and forth, the heavy current debt of the parent 'and of the subsidiaries, much of which was incurred after the 1929 collapse, show that the major in terest of Peirce, et al was not utility operation but banking house selling of debentures and stocks. It was just Foshay and Ohrgtrom over again. . - . in . . Water Power Act HAVING voted ourselves free power for nothing last elec tion the voters of Oregon are surprised to be called on to vote the same thing again in the water power act whieh is the last measure on the ballot. The constitutional amendment starts out bravely to de clare that the state, shall hold its water power titles in per petuity. That Is the law now, so re-enacting it is like taking your deed down and having it filed over again just to con vince yourself you still own your home or your land. i Ah, but behind the fine front of preserving titles to the water power in the state, there is a provision which, is full of danger to the state. That is the section which would allow the Issuance of some $60,000,000 in bonds to finance the state's adventure in hydro-electrics. These bonds would not be voted on further by the people. If this amendment carries the legislature may any time it wishes vote to issue these bonds and throw the state into the hydro electric bus iness In a big way! ; .-, T ; The power district amendment of the last election allows power districts to be formed and permits issuing bonds up to 10 valuation,; but the people have tiie privilege of voting tlie bonds. This Hew amendment would permit incurring the debt without the subsequent vote of the people. It is an at tempt to put the whole state in the electric business via a tide door. ' ; . J ! As the Portland Journal points out, there is now going into practice effective regulation of power companies." There Is therefore no immediate need for this amendment with its grave risk to the public credit. The water power amendment should be defeated. The power district legislation already t adopted is fully adequate to satisfy any present demands for public ownership-of electric power; plants. ' si : ; A Word for THE ablest and cleanest and-strongest candidate the Re publicans of the third district have nominated in many years Is Homer T AngelL The Statesman is not published in Jhls district but it does have quite a circulation In Portland and Multnomah county; so we are not going far out of our way to give AngeH a hearty boost It is well deserved, as Angell's able service in recent legislatures testifies to. And it is needed, because he faces formidable opposition in the person of General Martin, the Incumbent The Portland district has an opportunity in choosing Angell to select a man who has many years of useful service ahead of him. General Martin is a "good republican in many respects, but he expected to serve only one term, is an old man, retired now from the army, and cannot glva that dis trict the vigilant and laborious service It is entitled to The third district should have a strong legislator and keep him in office over a long term. Instead it was poorly represented ,at the national capital over a long period. In electing Homer Angell and keeping him in Witshington on long tenure the district will have a competent man, IldOed in parliamentary practice, forceful in address, clean in! his! personal habits, and effective in fighting for causes hi? Is interested in. - 5 Republicans of that district who normally are in heavy majority, should take ths long view ind send to congress a man who will be .worth, keeping ther for many 'terms, and' tint man is -Homer-Angell. w It or not otbMirlw eredtu itta to Testimony the promoters of utility financ- owo v . tavuuibki auu deals are hardly justified in Homer Antrell 1 lp lpl jpl I Jj I ; ' The Safety Valve - - Letters from Statesman Readers To tbe Editor: Judzlne from Mr. WaMah- reldt'B pieca In tbe oaoer ha la auemDUiur to arena hla mm through tho press.

Spike Parker sent "Man of Steel" to the Tribune as a short feature Story and received a reauest.for a longer article on Ted's experience ia the miEL "It's the bunk, of course." Snika Said, "but it's bunk like thia that makes all-Americans." The story went out: and cartoons of Ted Wynne. FootbatTe Man of Steel, filled much space in the news papers during the off-season. The Iron Are reprinted the ooem and it eventually found its wav to the bulletin boards of the Riverside Plant. "Smart boy vou have" the men told Ted's,father, "and a good man n the mill, too." The elder Wynne took credit for it alL Long ago he had become an expert on football; a man to whom superintendents stopped and talked, seeking kernels of inside stuff. Ted was amused and oleased with his dad's new attitude- Tt smoothed things at home, and it gave bis parents a compelling new interest in a life barren of such. It CXVe them a reflected dorr which he knew they loved. His mother. during football season at least, now enjoyed preeminence in the back- tence confabs the neighbor ladies held every morning.
