THERE is a conspicuous flaw In the reasoning of Frank
t lin T. 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. '

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.

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.

: ; 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.
