the joint coa.mitte' on Jadk-iar.v
at Salem were the represena
tives of the P. 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

Mother Karth, minerals, coal
and oil There they remain un

concrete example that I know of'

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

The Mirror is a bright looking

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.
