"We live in an age of pitiless pub
licity where the freedom of the
press and freedom of speech arc
paramount issues and newspapers
should have the right to print what
they please, always guiding them
selves by the laws of libel. A free
people must have a free press and
a newspaper should have the right
to speak freely Its views."

Referendum on City
Wa ter Purchase Plan
To be Urged Upon Club
Members of the special committee named by the Pro
gressive' Businessmen's club of the Hollywood district to in
vestigate and report back on the most feasible plan of action
to follow In securing submission of-
the municipal ownership ol th!
water system to the voters an
nounced Thursday afternoon that
the committee would be ready to
report back to the regular .meeting
of the club Thursday evening.
The report will recommend, th2
committeemen said, that the mat
ter of Invoking the Initiative to
compel submission of the question
to a popular vote to be held in
abeyance until It has been deter
mined whether or not the council
will authorise an Informal referen
dum on the question of purchase of
the system at the time of the May
election.
This referendum would be In the
nature of a plebescite to determine
the sentiment of the people, and
would not be morally binding upon
the council to follow out the man
date expressed in the result of the
balloting. If municipal ownership
were favored by a majority of the
voters, It Is explained, the council
could then proceed with the pre
liminary expenditures rieoessaiy to
placing a valuation upon the water
company's properties with the as
surance that a reasonable purchase
plan would be acceptable to the
people when they were called upon
to vote the required bonds.
The committee will further recom
mend that the council be asked to
authorize such a referendum at its
next meeting, and it was said that
Alderman O'Hara would be request
ed to introduce the necessary reso
lution or ordinance at that time.
Some details still remain to be
worked out as to the form in which
the "referendum" should be sub
mitted, and it has not yet been
decided whether authorisation
should be Included in the stated
Question for the council to Incur the
S3000 or $4000 Indebtedness which
would be required In making
appraisal of the properties and in
meeting other preliminary expenses.
In the event the council refuses
to hold such a referendum it will be
the recommendation of the club
committee that Initiative petitions
be circulated to submit to a vote
In November a. charter amendment
Instructing the council to proceed
with the purchase of the water
system through condemnation and
at the same time authorising the
Issuance of bonds In a sum not to
exceed a stated amount.
Br Initiating the proposal as
charter amendment, it is pointed
out by attorneys who have InvesU
aated the matter for the committee
and for the Capital Journal the
cumbersome and complicated process
for purchase of a utility Dy tne
city a prescribed by the charter
would be avoided and the council
could proceed at once with con
demnatlon action If the city and
water company could not come to'
an agreement on a reasonable price
to be paid.

CORBETT SAYS OFFICE
FIGHT OVEfUONG AGO
(Continued from pfte 1)
land. In which he was quoted as
attacking the state office building
project, Corbett characterized the
report as unfair In that It did not
quote him fully in his reference to
the project In a speech In which he
was outlining the history of the ac
cident fund leading up to the
resolution creating the interim
committee now lnvcstlgatng the
status of the Industrial compensa
tion act. Corbett was the author
of the resolution adopted by the
last legislature calling tor the In
vestigation. "My talk was purely an outline
of the history of the fund In which
I stated that the reason for my
opposition to the use ot the acci
dent commission funds for. con
struction of the building was '.'le
apprehension that the state might
olfset the money borrowed for this
purpose against the approximately
(300,000 advanced to the fund In
Its early days, and thereby deplete
the segregated fund from which
benefits are paid In that amount."
said corbett.
Thf possibility ot such action
was, however, eliminated with the
passage of the bill whereby the
state waived its :laim to these ad
vances. That tight is over and
forgotten so far as I am concern
ed.' Corbett's rlslt to Salem was a
demonstration of hie campaign
methods. He spent the entire day
making personal contaeU with
friends and through then with
other Salemltes, giving Uw roters
whom he met m cliance to sise him
up at close range. Wednesday eve
ning he was Joined by Floyd Cook,
his campaign manager, who re
mained In the) city over Thurrday
to start the ball rolling toward an
organisation here in Corbett's be
half. Their visit, likewise, discloses
the strategy of the Corbett cam
paignstirring the enthusiasm of
political "king pins" In eaeli com
munity through personal calls by
the candidate, and a mopplng-up
by Cook In organizing the converts.
Cook claims brilliant success tor
the system, particularly In Wash-
lngton ana Yamhill counties, where
he claims Corbett has corralled
more votes than any other two
candidates for the nomination to
gether. Both of these counties have
been worked Intensively and the
Corbett -Cook combination la now
reaching out to cover In similar
manner aa much of the state aa is
possible before May 16.
Corbett's visit and the announce
ment of Senator Charles Hall's
platform formed the two principal
topics ot political conversation
around the city Thursday, athough
rumore(j itlleaUoa ot Aidermlul
W. W. Rosebraugh to declare him-
self as a candidate tor mayor be
fore tho end ot the week was
beard here and there.
Shorn ot the political platitudes
and catch-all generalities common
to all campaign declarations Hall's
platform statement places him on
record In favor of the "develop
ment of Oregon;" reduction ot the

REGRETS DOMIC
OPERA REVOLT
Monte Carlo (LP) Monaco, sadly
wlsened, begins to regret the folly
of Its famous "comic opera" revo
lution of 1D2A. The revolt of the
national council against the abso
lute monarch of six square miles
of national territory. Prince Louis
of Monaco, has had a boomerang
effect upon gambling and business.
Ever since the war, Monte Carlo
had felt growing competition, but
so great was the fame ot the re
sort that tourists continued to
flock there for a chance to break
the famous bank of Monte Carlo.
San Remo, just across the
Italian border, Cannes and Mice,
with 11 casinos between them In
cluding Frank Jay Oould's $5,000,
000 palace have stunned Monte
Carlo with one death blow after
another, until today the famous
casino on the rock Is barely stag.
gerlng along under It heavy load.
The people ot the principality
realise that the revolution is
largely to blame, for a revolution
Is hard to dodge In a republic Just
six square miles In area. Tourists
were frightened away, and al
though all has been peaceful and
quiet on the rocky shelf of coast,
yet the tourists have not come
back. .
The national council Is now
considering asking the ruler to let
loose his strangle-hold on the
casino. He is now paid a fixed
sum annually; plus a percentage
of the kitty, Und the casino pays
all the taxes of the principality,
pays for the sweeping ot the
streets, street lights, street cars,
planting of flowers everywhere and
every other deficit.
. The casino laments all this
overhead charge which drains its
treasury and makes competition
Impossible against the neighbor
ing French and Italian resorts.
The council has been appealed to
and may suggest to Prlnco Louis
that the golden egg laying gooje
is tn danger of being choked, and
that. In the Interests of all con
cerned the prince's share ot the
kitty might be reduced.
In a final effort to encourage
tourists to play on the Monte Carlo
tables, the casino has made It
much easier to break the bank
by cutting in half the capital with
which each table starts the dsy.
Breaking the bank Is a thrill which
comes only once in the lifetime of
a small number ot players.
