It is con tended by roads now giving a two cent passenger rate that it does not stimulate business and should be raised. Taking a directly opposite view Frederick Underwood of the Erie advises that passenger; rates everywhere be lowered to j one cent a mile and that the freight rates be advanced. His idea evidently is that the pas senger rate being paid directly by each patron is the most bur densome while the freight charge being passed on to the consumer often goes unnotic ed. The Underwood view on this point is correct yet it is not scientfic to arbitrarily arrange rates in such a manner as he suggests. The logical way is to base rates as closely as pos sible in accordance with the cost of service, not with a view to extracting the largest am ount of coin with a minimum squeal from the public. If the railroads would re duce their capitalizations to proper figures it might be pos sible to reduce both freight and passenger rates but of course this simple expedient will not appeal to them. ' foliowTendleton riMPLAINT is made by the Walla Walla Union over the water pressure in that town. A news story Saturday said the pressure was very low and that work on one building was being delayed owing to the fact water could not be provid ed for the concrete mixers. Pendleton is fortunately out of that class. Under the grav ity system we have a heavy pressure. It means conveni ence to water users and lower insurance rates. There is wa ter in abundance and the qual ity is first class with the result much summer sickness is elimi nated. The moral is for other towns to follow Pendleton's lead in! this matter.

But the particular plat under discussion has been planted to peas each year, with the results mentioned, and as a matter of fact the soil shows a slight ap preciation in productive power each year.

It would be well for the dry land farmers in all sections of the state to give this matter at tention. In some places the results may not be as success ful as Mr. Stevens' ; in others a greater yield may be shown. But should the yields obtained by Mr. Stevens be cut in half and summer fallowing thus be turned into a profit, what a blessing it would be to our dry land wheat growers. Such an achievement would repay the state every year as much as all our experiment stations cost in a decade. Portland Oregoni-an. will know hqw proud she ought to he of her Territorials," Rev.

Secretary Lansing" admitted this afternoon advices have been received from the Brazilian minister In the capital that General Gonzales' troops have left the city headed toward Pachuca. The news up- set speculation as to the pos- slbllitv of Carranza being recog- nized by the United States. It Was believed laat week the cap- ture of Mexico City and restor- atlon of order there might be followed by the Carranza gov- ernment being recognized. MOTOR CAR It wuh our expectation, from the first, that this cur would play a large part In determining motor car values. We said as much In our advertisements almost a year ago. .We expected it to set up in the public mind a model and a pattern of what a car of moderate price should be. We expected that It would encourage buyers to Judge mo tor cars by the standard of quality not by price. Surely the results have more than realized our expecta tions. Surely you can see that the car Is considered a criterion of what constitutes real worth. Once a man has driven the car, even lor a few miles, noth ing can distract his mind from Its performance and Its uuallty. He thinks of the price only In relation to the remarkable value It buys. That is why the first 20,000 fell so far short of supplying the demand. That Is why the second 20.000 are being absorbed with e(ua! eagerness.

Yields; Farm Reports Desired So much doubt exists this year regarding the. wheat yield that the East Oregonian will endeavor to secure much exact data from first hand sources. With this aim in view farmers are asked to fill out the blank below as sion as their harvesting has proceeded sufficiently to , give them an accurate line on what the yield will be. By special arrangement the information gathered in this manner will be tabulated and given to the government crop reporting officials, thus helping them adjust their estimates as to the actual yield. -It is desirable to get the exact truth as to the situation and the co-operation of farmers will be appreciated. Please fill out the following blank and mail the same to the East Oregonian. If you prefer to 'phone, do so. The East Oregonian'a number is ONE.
