There are many reasons for bellev tng that time will prove Senator Ow en was right Tte New FVelom when on Saturday at Hand he declared . the currency bill to be the greatest piece of legislation en- acted since the civil war. The new law will accomplish so many beneficial things it is difficult to enumerate them. One effect of first Importance to the general pub lic wlU come from increased confi dence In banks and In our financial system. There will be solid reason (or this increase of confidence. With the new plan In operation there can be no such thing as a fi nancial panic such as overspread the country In '07. Through the regional banks the reserves of the various banks will be mobilized and made available when needed. There will be discount advantages such as the banks have not enjoyea Heretofore and which should help them greatly. There is a provision for guaranty of deposits, the guaranty fund being ac cumulated from one-half the profits of the reserve banks in excess of six per cent. These features and others such as the provision for emergency currency, should provide a banking system In which people may reposo implicit confidence and confidence is a won derful thing is business. The new plan means that business may pro ceed along legitimate lines and feel safe. The nightmare of financial de pression must vanish never to return for under the new deal a money pan ic will be impossible. But that is not alL The chief mer it of the currency bill of course is that it provides for greater govern mental control than in the past. The key to the country's financial wel fare will not be in private hands aa in the past. It will rest with the gov ernment If the law does not kill the money trust It will at least hem In that octopus sufficiently that it will not have its old time privileges. It wont bo possible in the future for any coterie to bring on a nation-wide paralysis of business in order to get away with some prize like the Ten nwee Coal & Iron Co. SuprrtixUng tl Council. this frenzy? The currency bill paves the way for l. 'i new frtodom of which President Wilson has spoken and by the pas i!e of that bill the president and Ms fv'.lowers have rendered this coun .ry a treat service. m m m Pr. Pest and the unspeakable sheet that publishes his stuff are screaming again about a "shortape" in the books of the water commission. Why all Are nov the books of the water department being checked up by exrerts employed by tnr cuy council? Has not the city council been making a dlsintersted investiga tion of the work at Thorn Hollow ? If 'here is any shortage or any evidence of wrong doing In the accounts of the water board wont the experts find it? If the work at Thorn Hollow is "all wrong and Incompetently managed. wont the council discover the fact? Why should Pr. Best rush to the front again with hi cheap calumny and mudslinging? Is he unwilling to let the council and the experts han dle the matter? Is he trying to sup plant those men and force the people to take his garbled, unfair version of the case instead of the reaj truth as found by honest men after a careful investigation. t Pr. Best's behavior is an Insult to the council and is too contemptible for endurance. The council has been conducting an investigation ' with a view to giving the people an unbiased report on the subject of the vjater board's accounts and the work at Thorn Hollow. But Dr. Best seems unwilling to wait for that report. He tries to supercede the council and make the report himself and make It so as to cast odium and disgrace on the water commission no matter what the truth may be. It is the limit. Yet, after all. this sort of stuff is what the people may justly expect when they give office to a man who has been shown by sworn evidence to be unworthy of a public trust. Furthermore, such actions as those by Dr. Best and his Inkpot assistant are a feature of nearly every fight wherein a community seeking pure wa ter or other betterment runs counter to the wishes of a public service cor poration with willing lackeys to do its bidding and pull its chestnuts from the fire.

Actvity of Past Week Involved 10, 000,000 Pounds; Thus Reducing Stock to Lower Point Than A"Uii- ' Pated. For Oregon woolgrowers who may feel discouraged over the" removal of the tariff on wool there is good cheet in news from Eoston to the effect that there are indications January 1 will find the smallest stock of domestic wool available for purchase that the country has seen in several years, s fact that should assure favorable pri ces next spring. Transfers of wool the past week it is claimed have been the -largest of any such period this year. Total tran sactions are estimated at 8,00,000 to 10,000,000 pounds and even higher Buying has been well distributed am ong prominent mills. The leading in terest is represented to have acquir ed some very good lines of territory wool, which is supposed to indicate a demand for duplicate lightweights. The situation is much more encour aging than it was a fortnight ago. For eign wools and fleeces are quiet relatively. Leading houses are finding the wool market in better shape than they ex pected, as the last half of December is generally very quiet. Visitors to the market have been prepared to find t;ulct tone, whereas some lines show more activity than at any previous time during the year. This actlvit will tend to reduce stocks of unsold wool to a point much lower than war jiredicted. lining Weston Hop Charles E Rude of Pendleton was in Weston la.t wrek buying hogs, of which he exi.ects to ship two carloads from the Weston and Athena districts, and is paying 7 cents a pound, live weight for prime stock.

Government Survey Faulty A re survey of one faulty line In Wallowa county has disclosed an error in an other line, as run by government en gineers. This affects claims of a number of homesteaders.

Snow Is Beneficial Farmers of Umatilla county are generally pleased over the snow which fell last night and today. The snow will serve as a blanket to protect the growing wheat and Is therefore regarded with much favor. A particularly pleasing feature is that the ground was not frosn and so most of the moisture will go Into the ground. - Wheat Market Klw The local wheat market continues apathetic though the price Is still strong. It Is reported that those having good wheat to sell for 75 cents can do so but seemingly the price Is not tempt ing to farmers who still have their grain. Wise Women.
