If the Oregon legislature la opposed
to any rational plan to bring about
power development
Why Tho I'rrrU with a view to us
Mil la so Pad. Ing publicly owned
natural resources
on such a baalx aa will give the pub
lic at least hulf way fair treatment
then adopt tho resolution denouncing
the Fcrrla bill.
There la no other reason why the
Ferrla bill ahould be opposed. The
talk about Injustice to the atate 1
miserable bunc that will be exposed
by a mere reading of the bill. None of
the money from leaaea la to be retain
ed by the national government, half
the Income being paid directly to the
atatea where power ia developed and
the other half to the reclamation
fund, which meana being put to uae
In the weat. In atatea where there
are public service commlsalona with
power to regulate ratea and the Is
suance of stocks and bonds the con
trol of ratea and aervlce will be en
tirely with the atate commissions.
Therefore the weatern atatea will get
the exclusive uae of the lease money
nnd will be In position to have sole
charge from an administrative stand
point. The only objection to the FerrU
bill Is by electric interesta that want
nothing to Interfere with their ex
ploitation of the public. Their notion
of a proper plan would re one under
which they could grab power sites
free of coat, then perauade the Invest
ing public to put up bond money for
development purposes after which
Juice could be aold to consumers at
prices six tlmea too high. This la no
exaggeration; It Is a true picture of

clology at White Plains. X. Y.. said:
"The awful, hopeless drudgery ot
the women In Europe will make the
next generation, born on European
battlefields, inferior mentally and
weak physically. This will happen
because women have been put back
Into the drudgery of primitive, tribal
days, from which the enlightened
women of today have emerged after
centuries of struggle.
"In Europe woman again has be
come only a breeder of food for can
non. Soldiers are encouraged to mar
ry before they leave for the front
with the thought In the minds of the
autocrats that If the men of this gen
eration are killed some means must
bo devised to supply th inen of the
next."
The women of the world have a
right to resent war when it means
such things. It Is degrading for wom
en as well as men and the cost is
greater than the gain can possibly
In Oregon the only official hand
ever created by law to be stretched
out to the working girl,
In tho Nanto Is the Industrial Wei
Of Kounonty! fare Commission.'
It Is the one hand
that has been empowered by state au
thority to give her a better wage, bet
ter working conditions and shorter
hours. It is a service for the people
of any commonwealth to contemplate
with the highest pride.
There Is a sublime thought in the
fact that a people have concern and
sympathy for toiling women. To turn
to such an Ideal from the hard lines
nnd grinding purposes of a highly
commercialized social order, is a re-
fre.hlns, reassuring and deitfhtful
contemplation. What Is tho wage,
whnt the life, standard, what the
working hours and what the future
ot young women who struggle for sur
vival amid the maddening crowds and
rushing throngs In a great city aro
isxucs of gravest concern to human
society.
Iess than two years "ago, Oregon
provided a commission-to do such
work. The members served without
salary. Earnestly and laboriously,
they hiive delved Into tho relations
between employers and employes.
They have devoted great time and
patience nnd Intelligence to their
work.
Father O" Hurra, Amldee Smith and
Miss Hertha Moores, representing the
employe, the employer and the public,
respectively, were named for tho com
mission and Governor West was never
fore fortunate In his appointments.
Trained by their Investigations and
skilled In their knowledge of the func
tion and purpose of their work, the
members are especially equipped for
a continuation of their service.
Yet the legislature proposes to
abolish them and place their work in
the hands of others and under an In
congruous arrangement In a misfit
combination with some other depart
ment. And it Is proposed to do this In the
name of economy and efficiency!
Oregon Journal.
Some of the legislators who are try.
Ing to make great splashes about the
millions of dollars they want to save
the state are the very fellows who
pulled off the big treasury raids of
the past They are the disease, not
the remedy.
If you have anything tobuild now
is the time to build; you can get work
done cheaper now than later on when
the rush gets started.
