In view of the way things are now moving it is not an insane prediction that in time terminal rates will go and that all transcontinental freight busin.'.'-s t nd much of the passenger business will be by water.

The Dixie mulK trots lively in the middle of the road; The Dixie muscle's equal to the llftin' o' the load. An" thi nlgh-beer is the nlgh- est that the country ever knowed, An' the band Just beats itself a-playin' "Dixie!" The Dixie coin's the tallest that nas ever topped the hills, The rivers sing the loudest as they rush to meet the mills. An' they'll never match the moonshine on the path way to the "stills," An' the Good Times bugle only blows fer Dixie! Oil, i-he's tolllble contented from the iruirnln,' to the night; The track la cl'ar an' even an' the wheel a-runnlng right; An' fer every Joy that jingles ibur's a million more in sight, High-water hallelula time in Dixie! Frank L. Stanton. Nor is it unreasonable to hope that in time the interior points will be placed upon even more favorable ground with reference to railroad rates. Considered from a standpoint of equity the system of terminal rates for coast '"cities Is all unjust and in excusable. It simply means that the interior points are taxed in order to make dividends for I the railroads while the coast cities reap the bene fit of cheap rates. The excuse is made that low rates must be granted the coast cities so ay to meet water competition. It is a lame excuse. If ships can bring fi eight from New York to Portland cheaper than such freight may be hauled across by rail then the freight should come by water. When rail roads seek to meet that competition they are fighting nature and they make the helpless interior bear the burden of the fight. As governmental regulation be comes more and more effective it seems Inevitable that rates will be fix ed with a view to making them equit able. This will mean that rates will be based on distance and then .the Interior points will have lower rall- j read rates than the coast cities for the reason they will be closer to the eastern markets. What effect such a change as this would have on the relative advance ment of coast and interior points Is not exactly clear. It would tend of course to the upbuilding of the inter ior cities. Tet the coast cities would still have the advantage of water transportation and with the comple tion of the Panama canal water tran- WIIAT A SPKCTACLE! Why should city officials worry themselves sick for- fear that they v ill hurt the electric trust If they or der the overhead wires placed under ground? The mayor and council men are not representing the electric trust they represent the people, or at least aie supposed to do so. It Is certainly- for the interest of the people of Pendleton to have the poles and wires removed from Main and Court streets. The poles spoil the appearance of the streets and de stroy the effect of the cluster lights. Besides this the overhead electric wires are dangerous in times of fire. These things being true one would logically expect the members of the council and the mayor being public servants to stand for ordering the Improvement and let the electric com pany's official do the worrying. It is up to the electric company, not to the city officials, to show cause why the work should not be done. The city officials should be seeking reas ons why the work should be done, not excuses for failing to order the im provement. But the electric trust and the tele phone trust will both have to "go some"- if they, make the East Ore gonlan believe they cannot well af ford to do this much improving wlth the city. Both concerns are draw ing heavy revenues from Pendleton and they spend but little here. It Is said the telephone trust paid a dividend of 35 per cent last year. Tet only a few months ago the trust in creased local 'phone charges and did) bo regardless of the fact Pendleton people did not like the proceeding. Vhy not require them to get their wires underground In the business section ? The Pacific Power & Light com pany draws about $30,000 per annum from Pendleton. The trust Is owned l.y eastern millionaires and it Is said they bonded their northwest plants for the- imount of the investment. In other words they have no actual money o their own In the business, yet they own the system and get the profits. A soft thing for them, isn't It? Still jsnme of our councllmen al most weep when asked to order the electric wires placed underground In the business section. What a spec tacle they make! What, a strange world this is! WIPK TIII'.M OUT. It is a timely crusade that County Judge Maloney and others are wag ing upon rooming houses that connive a; the downfall of . girls of tender years. The situation is such that It has become an open scandal in Pen dleton. It is general talk that con ditions with reference to assignation houses are now worse than ever be fore In the history of the city. It is particularly shocking to learn that girls so young they may almost be classed as children are Involved. Surely it is time for the state of ficials and also for the local police to take a hand. Wipe these places out of existence and If the people who have be?n running them belong In the penitentiary send them there. There Is grave danger of European war so the press dispatches say.
