TRUE ECONOMY CALLS FOR THOROUGH WORK
THERE nre some who raise a question, as to the amount of
money called for in the septic tank proposal on the city
ballot November 21. The explanation is that no one knows
exactly what this improvement will cost. If the land to be pur
chased has to be condemned there is no way of knowing what
the price wi'l be until the jury gives its verdict. In constructing
the septic tank there is no way of knowing what the cost will be
until the bids are opened. The city has estimates from engi
neers on the subject but some time3 these estimates are inade
quate. Therefore the city officials wish to be safe. They want suf
ficient authority that they may be able to complete this job and
do it right. They do not want an unfinished task on their hands.
They do not want to have to do inadequate work or to call a sub
sequent election in order to get further funds. They will con
nerve the city's money and will get the work done as economic
ally as possible, consistent with good work. Rut it is necessary
that.there be some leeway in the matter if we are to get results
and get them without undue delay.
While providing a septic tank Pendleton could make no
graver bUinder than to get a "half way" job. We need an im
provement that wilj suffice for years to come as well as for the
present. It must have a propei location and must be so built
that it will work., Naturally such results cannot be expected
unless sufficient funds are provided.
Pendleton is now being penalized because at times in the
past public improvements have been made on a too parsimonious
Lasis. When the sewer mains of the city were laid years ago
the city officials were ultra conservative. They did not provide
as they should have provided for the city's growth. The mains
nre generally too smu'l, the grades are often inadequate and on
many streets the mains are not deep enough. As a consequent
there are basements from which there is not proper drainage
unci building work has been hampered. That "cheap sewer
system" has provrn a very expensive affair to Pendleton.
It was not good business for the city to build a sewer sys
tem on a parsimonious basis. It was a blunder and that blunder
has cost the city thousands of dollars. It will cost many thou
sands more before the error is corrected. The same thing may
be said of the old iron pipe used when many of the water mains
were placed years ago. That pipe was cheap but it has proven
very costly to the taxpayers. The city has been busy for years
replacing those old mains with good pipe and the expense has
been heavy.
With the.KO cosily experiences in mind, how can anyone ad
vise that the funds for the septic tank be so restricted as to en
danger the work. If we act in a niggardly spirit when money is
provided for the septic tank will we not run danger of a botch.' .
job and of producing a situation that will mean more expense
to the city rather than less!

Constable Charles Harnhiirt, of Han
cock, considers himself the luckiest
man in the world today. Ho stoutly
maintains that he owes his life to his
watch, which ho reverently caresses,
perhaps unconsciously, every time he
relates his narrow escape from death.
Constable Parnhart was patrolling
his "beat" recently, musing abstract
edly, when he discovered two men
loitering in the rear of an automobile
concern. Their minus being suspic
ious, I he constable decided to arrest
them for tresiKissing.
Approaching them, Barahard in
quired what they were doing. In reply
one of the men drew a revolver and
fired Into the ground.
"When I started after him he aimed
and fired at ine," Harnhait declare.
Ilut fato Intervened with the course
of the bullet. Aimed so true that fa
tal damage would have occurred had
its course not been interrupted, the
bullet struck Harnhurt's watch and
was harmlessly deflected. Ills assail
ants escaped while he was arousing
himself from his daze and getting his
feet hack on the ground again.

HELEN HAS AN OFF DAY.
B7 ALLMAN
AMBASSADOR HARVEY .summed up his version of why the
United States entered the war when he told the people of
England that "We were afraid not to fitrht. That ia the
real truth of the matter; and ho vc came nlonjj toward the end
nun. ncipcii you aim your allies snorten the war. That is all we
did nnd all we claim to have done."'
After scrapping one red-hot resolution in reply to Mr. Har
vey and making a determined effort to moderate its lanKuape in
order to preserve its appearance of courtesy toward an import
ant official, the convention of the American Legion states its
contrary version, ns follows:
"That the sentiments expressed by George Harvev, United
States ambassador to Great Britain, in his Pilgrim Day speech
petting forth the reasons for America's entrv into the World
War and the cause for which America fought, do not represent
the true American attitude as interpreted by the American Le
gion; and let it be known for all time that America fought not
only for the maintenance of Americ a's rights but for the free
dom of the world, and that a copy of this resolution be sent to
the president of the United States."
These are only the words of the American Legion, and the
Legion is composed, to be sure, of men who walked in ranks
rather than of men who sat in at important councils. It mav be
