Low. Cost
Low-cost housing is a polite fiction in the minds of west
erners, as far as the term is applied to construction in big
cities like New York. Here it is possible to buy a lot for a few
hundred dollars and erect a four-room house for about $2500
that is quite livable. In New York the cost of building a f our
xoom house runs up to $5500 or $6000. Why is this?;
Not one, but many factors boost the cost Require
ments of safety from fire and of sanitation make necessary
restrictions more rigid than and demanded in the more loose
ly built western cities." Then the racketeers among building
material people and labor bosses jack up the restrictions far
ther in ways which increase expense. Costs of materials and
of labor run very high in cities, and in the past money-gou-gers
bled the job for financing charges.
The result is that the poor, in the cities cannot live in
new "low-cost" houses, but are domiciled in ancient buildings
often filthy, dark, inconvenient. The poor have to struggle to
pay the rent which is charged for these tenements. So far
the experiment for government aid has not been successful.
Costs ran too high for the pporonly the people a bit better-to-do
could pay the rent. And the very poor, whose tenement
homes were torn down to make room for the new structure,
have been forced to hunt new hovels elsewhere, often facing
higher rents.
Yet the need for better living quarters is recognized:
The New York Herald-Tribune, commenting on the collapse
of a building on Staten island where 19 were killed while
Bleeping, said : '
"Seme excited and perhaps unwarranted things hare been
said about the collapse of the ancient tenement, building on Sta
ten Island. It is hard not to -grow excited before the picture of
tragedy and squalor here so suddenly presented the decayed bit
of slam, the house built over what seems to have become a mud
puddle with every heavy rain and passed as fit for habitation two
days before it proved itself a death trap, its occupants living on
relief and W. P. A., skipping the rent bills but scraping their pen
nies for the twice-weekly 'lucky nights amid the Imaginary
splendors of Hollywood, the- human and material deterioration,
the appalling end. It is uncomfortable to be reminded of the ex
istence of such backwaters inTmr society and difficult to remem
ber that only full investigation can show whether the disaster
was due to official neglect, private indifference or, in fact, to an
unforeseeable cataclysm.
"But, even if no individual negligence should be found, the
evil memory of the house would remain as one example of what
. the S3 and 4 a room housing in which thousands of New York
ers are obliged to live really means. Here is the true problem of
the slums, and ultimately it is as Impossible of complete solu
. , tion as the problem of poverty itself. For a long time the lowest
income groups will probably- be found living in the castoff, de
teriorated or otherwise "surplus housing which is the by-product
of private building for the higher-income groups. Even with sub
sidy, such as is provided in the Wagner bill, the situation can
not be overcome; to rehouse all slum dwellers would cost too
much and would lay too great a burden upon the middle-income
groups, whose own homes rarely reach much beyond the level of
what Is now considered socially adequate."
The new Wagner bill is no complete solution for the
problem. Under its limitations as to cost per unit some doubt
if any building will be done under it in New York: The Herald-Tribune
thinks the new plan may work as a lever to lift
standards in private production of dwellings and in stand
ards of living. It says the only way the blighted areas may be
removed is by attacking the basic property, by gearing the
whole, economic machine to higher production. It should add,
by removing also the excessive tolls taken by most all inter
ests in the distributing mechanism. There is also the need
for a lot of social salvage, which may well include steriliza
tion of the imbeciles and insane and dissemination of knowl
edge of birth control to diminish the reproduction of strains
incompetent and unfit. It will take more than money to el
evate the human dregs of the big cities.
Duplicating Electric Systems
un tne sides oi trucKs or Seattle (Jity Light are signs
. saying that duplicating service makes your light bill twice as
high. The 1936 report of City Light stresses the waste of du
plication in Seattle where private and public plants servef the
people. A picture is printed showing how the plant invest
ment is duplicated clear to the dwellinghouse. The double ex
pense is estimated to amount to over $3,000,000 annually.
, J. D. Ross, head of City Light, goes on to remark in the re
port : "This is complete waste that is paid for only by the peo
ple in their light bills." He wants the city system to buy out
the private system, and concludes:
"The time has comer when neither City Light nor the private
company can greatly reduce rates as long as there are two sys
tems which are costing the people twice as much as one."
A similar situation, thoughtless wasteful, exists in Port
. land where two private companies compete for business.
Now the factor becomes complicated with the advent of Bon
neville power. The public ownership people want the .state or
districts to plunge into public ownership, building transmis
sion lines from Bonneville. "
What do the public ownership people propose to do: set
up a complete distributing system to compete with existing
services or to buy out the private companies? If they try to
compete the cost of the duplication will fall on the rate-payers;
business wilUbe divided and Bonneville will operate at a
heavy loss for a kng period of time. If they take over exist
ing companies then they will get distribution, but they will
have to compensate fairly the owners of the properties.
From the declarations of J. D. Ross it is plain he will
not favor duplicating the existing plant and facilities, for
distribution of Bonneville power. He knows from experience
how expensive that is. The private companies know this too,
and of course they know Ross' hostility to duplication. Nat
urally they do not want additional competition, but they are
already here and established, and will not retreat unless they
are bought out.
It is easy to get enthusiastic about public ownership to
listen to the spellbinders. It sounds very easy. But by the
time the private companies are bought out, additional lines
built to meet demand in the remote districts, and then a blan
an mm m mt
ket rate applied, the prospects of great reduction in electri
city prices are not bright for a considerable time to come.
At least before going into hysterics the people must real
ize the big fact that the private companies are established,
with lines serving virtually all of the area tributary to Bon
neville with an abundance of electricity with rates that are
much lower than the national average and compare quite fa
vorably with those of City Light, Seattle, taxes considered.
Remember that before you get drenched with political goose
grease in the campaignsahead
A want-ad in a Portland paper on a farm on the fringe of the
hills over Sheridan way says: "This place was sold in the horse-and-buggy
days jf 1909 for $27.60 per acre, cash sale. Can be had in the
days of tW'more abundant Ufa on easy terms for $10.15 per acre, a
chance to Anake some money. Those good eld days, referred to to
contemptuously as the horse-and-buggy days, were not bad, in more
ways than one.
Oregon loses as resident and active citixen Bernard Mainwar

In what Mrs. Whitman wrote of
the few following days and weeks
at Fort Walla Walla and Fort
Vancouver, because Historian T.
C. Elliott has presented . those
pieces of history in ways giving
new lights, even to careful stu
dents of western historical events.

1 The account ' In the last Issue
named above brought the Whit
mans on the evening . ot AuSust
31. 1836. to their camp on the
Walla Walla river, only eiSht
miles from Fort Walla Walla. Let
Mrs. Whitman tell in her diary
what followed:
"September 1st, 1836. You can
better Imagine our feelings this
morning than I can describe them.
I could not realize that the end
of our long journey was so near.
We arose as soon as it was light.
took a cup of coffee and ate ot
the duck we had given us last
night, then dressed for (Fort)
Walla Walla.
v
"We started while It was yet
early, for all were In haste to
reach the desired haven. If you
could have seen us now you would
have been surprised, for both man
and beast appeared alike pro
pelled by the same force. The
whole company galloped almost
all the way to the tort.
"The first appearance of civil
isation we saw was the garden.
two miles this side of the fort
The fatigues of the long journey
seemed to be forgotten in the ex
citement of being so near the I
close. v
! S
"Soon the fort appeared in
sight, and when it was announced
that we were near, Mr. McLeod.
Mr. Pambrun, the gentlemen of
the house, and Mr. Townsend sal
lied forth1 to meet us. After the
usual introductions and saluta
tions, we entered the fort and
were comfortably seated in cush
ioned arm chairs.
"They were Just eating break
fast as we rode up. Soon we
were at the table and treated to
fresh salmon, potatoes, tea, bread
and butter. What a variety!
thought L Tou cannot imagine
what an appetite these rides in
the mountains give a person.
S S
"I wish some of the feeble ones
in the states could hare a ride
over the mountains; they would
say, like me, victuals, even ths
plainest kind, never relished so
well before.
"After breakfast we were
shown the novelties of the place;
they are so to us. While at break
fast, however, a young cock
placed himself upon the cell of
the door and crowed. Now wheth
er it was the sight of the first
white females or out of compli
ment to the company I know not;
this much for him: I was pleased
with his appearance. Tou may
think me simple for speaking of
such i small circumstance as this.
No one knows the feelings occa
sioned by seeing objects once fa
miliar alter a long privation; es
pecially if it is heightened by the
expectation ot not meeting with
them.

"The door yard was fUled with
hens, turkeys, pigeons, etc. In
another place we saw cows, hogs
and goats in abundance, and I
think the largest and fattest cat
tle and swine I ever saw. We were
soon shown a room, which Mr.
Pambrun said he had prepared
for us by making two bedsteads of
bunks, on hearing of our ap
proach.
"It was the west bastion of the
fort full of port holes in the sides.
but no windows, and filled with
firearms. A large cannon always
loaded stood behind the door, by
one of the holes. These things
did not move me.

I m ao well pleased with the
possession of a room to shelter
us from the scorching sun that
I scarcely noticed them. Having
arranged our things, we were
soon called to a feast of melons.
the finest, I think, I ever saw or
tasted. The muskmelon was the
largest, measuring eighteen in
length, fifteen 'around the small
end and nineteen around - the
large. (Evidently inches.)
" You may be assured we were
not any of us satisfied or willing
to leave the table until we had
filled our plates with the chips.
"At four o'clock we were called
to dine. It consisted of pork, po
I tatoes, beets, cabbage, turnips.

last dinner I ate with Mother
Loomis. . ' - .

you may be assured we find some
thing to eat beyond the Rocky i
i mountains as well as at home. We
flral plenty of salt, but very many
here prefer to do almost and
some entirely without it on their
meat and other eatables.'
Historian Elliott explains that
