RECALL FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
ACTIVE steps toward the recall of the public service com
mission are beinp talen in Portland. 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.
