How dreary are these streets
vhise somber walls
Kise like a prison round me
and the song
Of reckless souls that sadly
pa.s along
How deathlike on my ear its ac
cent falls!
Like slow processions of dim
funerals
They move the weak, the
low ly and the strong.
Poor slaves of pride, victims
of social wrong,
Park hosts whom passion's bit
ter night enthralls!
Thin, wretched phantoms of
themselves they seem
Power and wealth and penury
and shame
Commingled like the colors of
a dream!
From day to day I see with
pain the same
Pad life! Oh, thousands for a
single breath
Of mountain air to save me
from this death!

4 j destructive legislation. The bi-j com-
binations have become the warn an i
woof of our industrial life and it is up j
to us to quit wasting our timelallyin
a: them, and, by using our wits, turn
them to good account.
"I am a firm believer in govern
ment ownership of all public utilities
and all public monopolies, but not1
however, until the people, through in
vestigation and experience are equip
ped to administer their affairs prop
erly. Federal control is the first and
greatest step in this direction. Im
mediate steps should be taken by the
federal government and states to as
sume control over the stock and bond
issues of all railroad and other cor
porations, for it is not only needed to
protect the small investor, but will
remove any possibility of undue in
flation should it appear that the gov
ernment was about to take these over
and operate them in the interest of
the people."
James Johns, who is running for
water commissioner against Will
Moore says that from what he knows
he believes a -pumping and filtration
plant affords the most feasible
means of obtaining an abundant sup
ply of water for Pendleton.
If that is the case Mr. Johns favors
a water system vei'y much like the
one now in vogue. Pendleton at this
time maintains a pumping plant and
pays the Pacific Power & Light com
pany something like $3500 per annum
for electricity for pumping purposes.
We also have a filtration plant in that
the water, or most of it at least is
filtered through gravel between the
river bed and the pumping station.
How Mr. Johns would improve upon
this filtration system he does not say
and it would be interesting to hear
from him upon that point.
But in the humble opinion of thN
paper Mr. Johns is sadly mistaken if
he thinks the people of Pendleton
want a filtration plant of any sort.
Local people want a gravity water
tystem under which water will be
piped down from the mountains.
They don't want a system under which
the water will have to be "cleaned be
fore using." Other cities have had
experience with filtration plants and
the results are usually unsatisfactory.
Portland formerly used filtered Wil
lamette river water which was pump
ed into reservoirs. Oregon City uses
filtered water, so does Salem and so
does Albany. But in all those places
people drink water with misgivings
and when people of means seek a
j.iace in which to retire and live in
comfort they go to Portland which
city is now supplied with pure moun
tain water from Bull Run.
In his communication to this pa-,
per .Saturday Mr. Johns speaks of a
scheme for a power plant the city
might obtain. But strange to say he
does not dwell In detail upon this sub
ject. What is his power plant
scheme? Is it the same scheme he
advocated a few months since. Not
I'.ng a?'; Mr. Johns went about town
FugT-'-sting the purchase by the city
of the I!.v-rs milling company's plant

course to be the best solution of the
v ater piuidcrn at that time. The plan
was btoaehei iu the East Oregonlan
l y Mr. Johns but this paper regarded
the scheme as tn attempt to shame
fully f: ifi ft toe. city and refused to
endor.; it. There is no sound reason
why the city of pendb ton should pur
chase, the Byers mill or any other
mill for a fabulous sum in order to ob
tain a water supply. It is water the
lty wants, not a flour mill. Besides
there are strong reasons for believing
that the milling company's right is In
a very precarious state. It is a per
mit and not a real right at all. Any
one buying that "right" at this time
vould be running a glorious chance
at being "gold bricked."
It Is largely because of Mr. John's
connection with this lll-sinilllng
scheme that the East Oregonian looks
v.ith suspicion upon his candidacy for
a place on the water board. In the
view of this paper James Johns Is an
