R L & P Go., the Pacific Powr v Light Co and numerous smaller compan ies protesting to this committee that the people of Oregon not he allowed to vote at the next g-n eral election as to whether the state haj) or shall not create electric power. They would fctiflie the heritage the Creator gave you tefore you could say yes or no. You are not to be al lowed to vo ce your desires by ballot as the pleadings of these i ampere dispensers fell on the ears of an "unsaved Senate" 1 he managers of these panies work on the iines drawn for them by scientists. During! the war, tests of intelligence were applied to 1,700.X0 prospective soiaiers The result is startling j S' venty men of every one hun-j dred were below the mental age I of the school child of fifteen They are called a "Moron " A moron is defined as an adult who is of the mental age of from eighi to fifteen ears. Are you a Moron Are vou going to let some one think for you electr.cal ly, or are ou going to thinK for yourself The development of the elec trical resource-of the states of Oregon and Washington is the most pr ogressive step that can be taken to the advancement of these sister states The form ing of an Hydro-Electric com mission means luore to the de velopment of .Oregon than the Highway commission, and many of you know w hat good roads have done in unshackling tbe litMil rural bondage. We set in adiinring woi der and watch the majestic Coliiiibia roll by us to the sea. We do not give thot I.Moronl that wrapped in its it, ews is untold horse ioer w a.st log because ou and I do noi piaee an obstruction in its path that it may work lor us ever af ter. We prefer to pay duty to adjoining states for our heat and light because w Moron. The Creator placed in the vaults of Mother Karth, minerals, coal and oil There they remain un til man taps them lor tbe Use at industry and a-t Once used they are gone for ever. Not so! with water power. It is the only 1 concrete example that I know of' where you can eat our cake and still have it It roils on forever. Perpetual motion. Don't y u think it ten yea O'd thinking of you audi th t We do no take action to put itj to work. Lei us apply tins to our county seat They are pay j ing 800 a y. ar per H P. for their lighting system. You can not cail it a commercial light j I would call it a sentimental linbt. There ate periods of light and darkness Whether the belt slips or the slab wood is wet I know not. but for poooej swains and melting coeds it's cheap at $ii0 per boise. Hepp ner, is I'hiatilla power' worth the time of thinking or shall we listen to the power com ; panies treatises on the over sup I ply of electric power.- Just so iorg as the electric poxer of the state of Oregon is in the hands , of private control ju-t that long will our development be retard ed. Lev us cite you a personal i observation of a Boardman man who says: "Some eight years ago I gave up hope of the Gov en me i t ever r i r,ging water to these lands. I went to Portland to interest tbe Pacific Power fc Light Co in bringing in electric power to pump water for irriga tion purposes The interview ; boiled into a kilowatt was this You go back home, sign up enough land to pay us 0 on tie- investment of putting power ' into your country an ! we wi l i bund If the Pi grim fathers j bad demanded 10 for hewing the trail that started at the base of Plymouth Rock, the bunch of us today would be back in Wales separating coal iro:n slate, or trundling peat from the bogs of Ireland. The company wanted Sr".! per H P. for six months use and a mortgage on tbe ranch. The fact that I already had a bet with the Government that I cotn' ! would starve in rive vears ore veoted me from taking on the Power company." Gent.'emen are we going to "Moron" or are we goiag to ad vance It's up to you. The Bon rd man Mirror, We are in receipt of the Hoard man Mirror, volume one, number one, published at Stanfield by M A Cleveland. The Mirror is a bright looking newspaper, well tilled with ads and speaks well for thecommun ity represented from a financial standpoint, and the news columns are written well and look oetter than the average country week ly. We wish Editor Cleveland and the people of Boardman every success with the new venture. Boardman needs a newspaper, md we are glad to see them have one. Hermiston Herald. L K .; W . V .
