With wheat and all' other Good reason for their faith is food products so high there will found in the estimates of City ,be no difficulty getting the In- Commissioner Daly as to sav- dian tribal land farmed ings that can be made both for the city and private consumers. At this time Portland has 3553 arc lights for which it pays $51 per year for over head arcs and $62.60 per year for arcs where the under ground system is used. The cost per arc light under the proposed municipal system is $36.60 per year. The munici pal plant would permit the city to have 5000 arcs for the same price it now pays for 3553. In addition to reducing the street lighting costs it is held the municipal plant will ma terially reduce the lighting charges to private consumers. Mr. Daly shows that in Seattle where the city maintains an el ectric plant the average rate to private consumers is 27 per cent lower than the same rate in Portland. The estimates for the Portland municipal plant are that aside from reducing rates as outlined above, meet ing all operating expenses, in terest on bonds and amorti zation payments, the city plant will still make a oiet profit of $57,000 a year for Portland. The facts are very interest ing to Pendletonians as well as to the people in Portland. Pen dleton also has an opportunity' to secure a municipal lighting plant if it desires to do so. There is power available and there are no reasons, engineer ing or financially, why this place should not have such a plant if the people see fit to vote for such an enterprise. THE -ALIBI OF SENATOR JONES 'JTT HE Weston Leader says it Vat will support the Sheldon normal school measure Trrovided both Pendleton and "Weston will guarantee in writ ing: to the normal regents not to k. for the Eastern Oregon Normal and not to accept the same if offered to either town. But last fall 't was heralded ia paid advertisements over the state that Weston had a 75.000 school plant, the buildings in excellent shape, Ibat there is an abundance of "pupils there for practice teach ing and that in every respect Weston is an ideal location for the E. O. S. N. S. ' After such a campaign whyi fwiould the Leader wish to pull Weston out of the race? If "the Weston claims are true the school is as good as located at Weston. No board of regents "wodM consider for a moment removing the school to a new j 'location, provided the facts are represented by the Weston I campaigners. One of the fine things about the Sheldon II is that it pro vides a square deal for Weston, ax well as othr eastern Oregon ' towns. Our Weston friends "hive long insisted that a fair, ftrst handed investigation of their city will convince anyone aa to the desirability of keep ing the normal school there. The Sheldon bill provides for exactly what they have prayed for so long. It leaves the loca tion of the Eastern Oregon school to the board of regents, a body compared of absolutely disinterested men. none of tketn having any purpose to verve other than the good of the state. With such a fortu nate arrangement at hand it would never do to pull Weston I eff the track and the East Ore- j ;nian refuses to be a party to i .lark Wood s diabolical plot scrunst his town.

E N A T O R JONES of Washington offers ' the alibi that all our present trouble is due to the fact Presi dent Wilson did wrong at the time of the Lusitama sinking. It is a thin excuse for it is now history that our president call ed Germany to time in the most forcible manner. 'More than that Germany complied with his demand and for many months scrupulously refrained from further outrages of the sort. There is one line of rea soning, however, by which the present crisis may be attribut ed to the president s action at the time the Lusitania was sunk. If we had gone to war with Germany then we would of course not be upon the brink of war now. We would be in the mire with both feet. Senator Jones to excuse his unpatriotic conduct at a time when his country needed his vote is offering arguments left ever from the last republican campaign text books. The country found those arguments unpalatable last fall and they have not grown better with age. Some people rre objecting to the state road bondine pro posal because of antipathy to bonds. However, the objec tion loses much of its force when it is considered that auto license money will play the chief part in meeting the in terest on i these bonds and in retiring them. If auto owners are to bear the chief burden ef the expense it is only fair that the owner of the future should meet his part of , the obliga tions. The auto owners of the future will derive more benefit than those of the present from a permanent highway system in Oregon. (From the Bally East Orefronlan, March fs, 188S.)
