Atlanta Constitution.
TWO CENTS "PER BUSHEL
TO PORTLAND
'Tt N view of the road issue
now uppermost in this
county the facts being
brought out at the grain rate
hearing before the interstate
commerce commission in Chi
cago are of unusual interest.
Some of those facts are shown
in a news story carried on the
first page of this paper today.
As testified by Mr. Muller,
former statistician with the in
terstate commerce commission,
the data submitted by the rail
roads shows the cost of moving
grain per carload mile is slight
ly less than seven cents. To be
exact it is .06928. He finds the
average haul in the middle
west is 359 miles and figures
the cost of such haul per car
load at $24.87 to which he adds
$10.13 for terminal costs mak
ing a total of $35 per car.
Now apply those figures to
the grain haul from Pendleton
to Portland. The distance is
231 miles. Multiplying the dis
tance by the average cost per
carload mile makes a cost of
$16 per car to Portland. Add
$10 for terminal charges and
we have a total of $26 for the
haul. The average carload
here holds 80,000 pounds or
1333 bushels. Divide the $26
by 1333 and the answer is a
figure less than two cents a
bushel.
In other words if this ex
pert witness is correct m his fig
ures and they apply here as
well as in the middle west the
actual cost of hauling wheat
from here to Portland is less
than one fourth of the eight
and a third cents per bushel
now charged by the railroads.
We may grant that his esti
mates are too low and still
there will be an immense mar
gin between the estimated
cost of service and the price
charged to the shipper.
The testimony before the
commerce commission at Chi
cago should open the eyes of
Umatilla county farmers to the
subject of the cost of shipping
grain. It is a subjecc that di
rectly affects their profits
every year. There is obviously
a great chance for a reduction
in the grain rate and there is
no way whereby we may work
more effectively to this end
than by building a hard sur
face road to the Columbia river
so as to get the advantage of
water transportation.
WHEN BOSSES BECOME
NON-PARTISAN.
"W N his testimony regarding
J the Barnes methods Col.
Roosevelt testified yester
day that when necessary
Barnes would work in co-oper
ation with Murphy, democratic
boss of Tammany hall. He told
of legislation in which the two
bosses joined their forces and
of a senatorial fight in which
they joined hands.
It is a fact that the average
political boss can be very non
partisan when such a course
will serve his purpose. A man
of the Barnes stripe would
rather see the machine demo
crats win than see the republi
can party of New York under
clean management.
The same standard prevails
with Murphy. In fact Murphy
destroyed Sulzer and turned
the state over to the republi
cans to rebuke insubordination
in the Tammany camp. A
democratic victory was not
comparable in importance to
the safety of the Murphy ma
chine. Barnes would prefer
any time to see a democratic
victory in New York rather
than see independent republi
canism come forth triumphant
During campaign times when
his ticket is to his fancy the
party boss will whoop it up
night and day for a straight
party vote and will denounce
the possible bolter as part of
the scum of the earth. But let
the machine control be threat
ened or the spoils bag be en
dangered and you will find Mr

THE TORIC LENS FRAUD
Opticians and some occulists not content with a reason
able price for an ordinary lens have fostered upon the
public a deep curved glass. They are not only of no ben
efit but really harmful in the stronger curves on account
of the prismatic effect and consequent color change.
The statement that you see straight through the glass
in looking down, up, or all around is misleading, you look
through the center of any lens, the frame is tilted for
reading, the eyes are closed when looking up, and looking
all around is intolerable and a violation of police regula
tions, so "What's the Use"?

A PROFITABLE" INVEST
MENT HEN prospective bene
'jtrtf fits are considered most
any farmer in the wheat
belt of Umatilla county can af
ford to give $1000 towards a
hard surface road to the Co
lumbia river, at the nearest
point
To subscribe $1000 in 10 an
nual payments means $100 a
year. Now the average farmer
in the wheat belt will have 10,
000 bushels of wheat for sale
each harvest. If a hard surface
road to the river will reduce
the wheat rate three cents per
bushel, which seems conserva
tive, it will mean $300 per
year to such a man. Tllerefore
the investment would mean 300
per cent profit when consid
ered strictly from the wheat
standpoint.
But good roads will do more
than reduce the wheat rate.
They will reduce the cost of
many classes of merchandise.
They will make farm life more
attractive and travel more
comfortable. They will en
hance the value of the land and
benefit the farmer, the farm
er's wife and the farmer's chil
dren. There is no safer investment
than in good roads when the
money is expended ao as to
bring results.
THE ALMIGHTY" HEART
44
rf HE almighty heart is
l?L still stronger in the
United States than the
almighty dollar," said Sir Gil
bert Parker recently before the
London Society of Pilgrims.
It is a pleasing tribute and
the more so because such com
pliments have been rare during
the war. The English in gen
eral have been prone to call us
cold blooded and mercenary
because we have wished to sell
supplies to Germany. On the
other hand Germans have
branded us as mercenary be
cause we have sold munitions
to the allies.
It must be admitted the al
mighty dollar is a source of
much power in this country.
We are arfer the business and
wish to prosper whenever we
can do so by honorable means.
The same is true in Europe and
in every nation under the sun.
The present war is nothing but
a trade war pure aiid simple
For Europeans to class Am
ericans as mercenary when
they themselves are slaughter
ing people by the millions for
the sake of trade is a travesty
on the facts.
The almighty heart may not
always be in evidence in the
management of our national
affairs but at least it may be
said with good reason that the
almighty heart is more power
ful in America than it is in Eu
rope. How beautiful it would be if
the influence of the Holy
Ghost would be sufficient to
make all people pay their bills.
All who favor economy will
support the good roads move
if they study the subject suf
ficiently.
To a man up a tree it ap
pears that the colonel had con
siderable reason for thinking
Barnes was off color.
If wool nrices are not hieh
now they will soar after the
clips have left the hands of the
growers. ,
May 5 will soon be here.
THOMPSQK-TWITCHELL SUIT

Agalnxt the testimony of I'hay, th
defense will oppose the testimony ol
the other eye-wltnemes and will un
doubtedly pay a great deal of atten

Waffle testified as to the vines on
the porch of the house occupied by

yard, all of which the plaintiff con
tends would have tended to obstruct
tn view of Mrs. Grlgaby who testi
fied that she was aitttng on the front
porch at the time she witnessed the
accident. Mrs, Phay testified further
to crossing the street Just before th?
Kd'ldent and declared there could
not possibly have been a boy riding a
bicycle near the junction of Alta and
Court streets, where Mrs, and ills
Crigsby testified they first saw Shar

it was comparatively new. The rear
