Once by a five to two vote and once by a tie they declared in favor of the status quo. City manager C. G. Reiter, whose dismissal was at issue, had majority support. Chief of police Ken Gulick, for whose dismissal a recommendation to the manager was sought, had the advantage of the tie vote in which one commissioner had no part. In the light of the generally accepted purpose of the recall move recently started here, these decisions fairly join the issue. Primarily that issue has been retention or dismissal of the police chief. Secondarily, because it is the manager, and he only, who has the legal right to dismiss the chief, it has been whether the manager, himself, should be continued in office. Five of the commission will continue to be recall targets on the secondary, phase if enough signatures are appended to the petitions to require an election ; four will be under fire as to the primary division of the issue. In the initiative election already assured, the way can be laid in another manner for decision on one of these questions through the provision in a proposed measure for popular referendum on retention of the manager. ' Theoretically a recall election should decide one or the other, or both divisions of the issue. Actually there is no certainty that the outcome will be based on the principles involved. Per sonal considerations will be important. But at least the people have the opportunity for the final say. If they fail to complete the petitions it may be taken as an indication that they are sat isfied. If the election is called they may still indicate that they are satisfied or they may give evidence that they are not. The charter amendment proposal referring the appoint ment of the manager by-passes the commission. To that ex tent the personal considerations we have mentioned are eliminated and the issue simplified. But it is complicated by the mess it would make of the commission-manager form of government. Getting back to the commission meeting, two other actions 'related to the police situation deserve brief comment Both were taken on unanimous votes. One was to put the police de partment under civil service regulations. This is admirable. The other was to adopt a policy for enforcement of the state law against houses of prostitution. Rather pitiful, it seems to us. Enforcement of law is not optional. A directive suggests that it can be a matter of choice. Apparently the commission felt that this law required endorsement. Are there other laws, we wonder, that stand in the same need ? CALL FOR ENOCH MORGAN & SONS ' It is suggested by the Oregonian that Perryopolis, the Penn sylvania mining town that recently received a multi-million dollar bequest, can become another Spotless Town. The paper then speaks of the problems of the mayor of Perryopolis and continues : V 1 It may be that he shall have to emulate the chief magis trate of Spotless Town, of whom this rhyme is recalled: , 'ilii la Uiu mayor of Sputicua Town " ' , , . Who spotted a aiiot on the butcher's a-own-- The rest of the verse eludes memory, but we are sure the substance of it was that the negligent butcher was sent to a snntlpss 1all to nonder his delinauencv. We hesitate to take issue over such a pleasing trifle that recalls other entertaining rhymes in a series of advertise ments of a once well-known product of a now defunct firm We think, however, that the Oregonian has its rhymes con fused. The way we remember it it was not the mayor but the "spotter" of Spotless Town whose alertness helped to keep the town clean ana tne rnyme went : Good for the spotter of Spotless Town Who spotted a spot on the butcher's gown. Behind the bars he now shall go. Bars of what? SAPOLIO. Sapolio was the product of Enoch Morgan & Sons and the utnrv nf its rise and fall is a classic in the advertising world. From its ample resources for research we are sure that the Oregonian can get the story and that to tell it again will en tertain the public ana promote tne ousiness 01 tne aaveruHing department. . - ' Bend's Yesterdays (From The Bulletin Files) Fifteen Years Ago (Aug. 21, 1933) Shevlln Hlxon and Brooks Scanlon mills both welcomed the presidential approval of the code of fair competition for the lum ber industry. i Operating in two different cit ies, police officers arrested or held for questioning several men believed to have knowledge of the series of fires in Klamath Falls and the fire which destroyed the Aunc warehouse in Bend.

Forty Years Ago (Aug. 21, 1908) Gov. Georee E. Chamberlain, F. S. Stanley, head of the Des chutes irrigation and power com pany and promoter of an Indepen dent railroad into Central Oregon, and James P. OBrien, general manager of theHarriman rail road lines, were conferring with Edward H. Harrlman, railroad magnate, at nis Pelican nay lodge. People of Bend were speculating upon whether or not Harrlman planned to start construction of a railroad Into Central Oregon. Petitions were being circulated asking for the county court to abolish the office ol roadmaster and insiead have a road super visor elected for each precinct at (lie general election. A forest fire was raging south east of Bend. ' The wheat crop In Harney county was burned up and people from that county were already beginning s to haul wheat from rrinevuie. try!

The Lakcview Rotarians have become increasingly concerned with the advance of sagebrush on areas once covered with good stands of rang. grasses. Drouths and overgrazing are principally blamed for this condition -with shallow-rooted grasses . giving way and sagebrush moving in to taKc over millions oi acres. There has been extensive ex perimentation in clearing and re- seeding these lands. The purpose of Thursday's event at Valley Falls Is to show that large land owners may now undertake such projects with good chance ol suc cess.
