Only one commis sioner is subject to recall at present' but the two other members may be recalled, if the people desire, after a lapse of fix months. Resentment toward the commission grows out of a series of tcta by the commission bjt is chiefly founded on the ruling of the commission in favor of the heavy increase m telephone rates, At a time when other prices are falling and an unemployment situation confronts the stnte the commission has authorized thfc phone company to advance rates an average of 30 per cent or more. In some instances the increase has been 100 per cent, it is claimed. ' All this in the face of an audited report by the Bell system rhowing that its net profits for last year were the largest in his tory, being over S50.0W.000 after taking off some $65,000,000 for depreciation and the further showing that telephone stock is far stronger m the market than xailroad stock or other indus trial stocks or even liberty bonds, r ' In the judgment of this newspaper the public service com mission acted very incompetently in the telephone case. This view may be entirely wrong but why in the name of common sense does a utility corporation that has just finished its most glorious financial year need a rate fcaost at a time when labor and material costs are declining? ' ' As to the recall that is a weapon to be used with caution, it is trae, yet the recall was adopted so as to give the public the op-1 portnnity to replace a servant who is believed to be incompetent or unfaithful. If it is the judgment of the public tnat our com missioners are in this category the plain and obvious course is to remove them. If a man is not doing his duty the sooner he is dis missed the better. Thi applies in private business and it is equally true in public life. ' ABOUT TEACHING GERMAN "j-'k EPORTS received by State Superintendent ChurchilLhow S that in the high schools ot Oregon there is only one pupil who is studying German. There are people who will ap plaud this and feel that thereby they perform, a patriotic act. But their judgment may well be questioned, German i3 one of the world's principal languages. A knowledge of that tongue is a good thing, be you a supporter or an enemy of Germany. One can study German with profit and pleasure and yet not for a moment countenance German ruthlessness in war or the at tempt of the present Berlin government to escape its indemnity obligations. During the war this country and our allies M ould hare been seriously handicapped if they had hot had many trust worthy people who could read German and talk it German may properly be taught in the higher institutions of learning in America along with French, Spanish and other modern lan guages. We have differences with Germany but we need not blacklist the German language on that account, any more than we 6hould allow that tongue to be excessively or improperly used in America. ' Let us forget the German language and concentrate on the more important task of seeing that the Ebert government does Dot escape paying for the rain it caused in Belgium and France. GENEROSITY DE LUXE HERE is a reDort that when President Wilson 'moved out I of the white house he left his successor a well stocked - wjne cellar. Such nes will produce two very different reactions.' Col. Bryan will have his version, but on the other hand there will be many who consider the retiring president was exceedingly generous to the Bew occupant of the executive man sion. There may have been more than people realized back of that Harding smile on inauguration day, but anyway it will be wel' to note those who feel they have urgent business in Wash ington in the near future. ; The president of the Chicago" Alton railroad says that passenger and freight rates must come down ; we will say that the Chicago & Alton road has a president with a keen vision. ......,. The purpose of the present cool weather is to keep the fruit from catching a cold Is.tor in the spnng; it is very wise not to bring on too much June weather so early in the season. ' A farmer who died near Big Rapids is classed as a "man without an enemy." If he was like Mack Foster he probably had a lot of friends who needed watching. v The Automotive Show was a deserved success. ' ALL-AROUND DICKENS ! CLUB SEND VREATH Lti.NHO.NT. March ' 12. -(A.
