MANSFIELD HAS MESSAGE
With a message of so much im
portance, that the Enterprise would
like to have every farmer in Polk
county listen to it, George A. Mans
field will address meetings in the
Grange hall at Monmouth on Satur
day afternoon of this week and in the
school house at Buena Vista on Sat
urday evening.
It is possible that there may be
feome who will not agree with Mr.
Mansfield in his views of the action
which will be necessary to bring the
American farmer to a sound financial
basis from the present chaotic con
dition, nevertheless it will be worth
while to listen to him. Mr. Mans
field has spent years in acquiring his
knowledge of farm conditions, and
he tells you about it with a sincerity
which gives you something to ponder
about if nothing more. These meet
ings are not confined to farmers,
being open to the public generally.
And what is more the welfare of
the farmer is a common cause in
which all are interested, mattering not
what their occupation or business
may be.

OPEN DOORS AT LAUNDRY
FOUR DAYS NEXT WEEK
The Independence laundry will be
"at home" next Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, with the
latchstring on the outside. In fact,
during this time the latchstring will
be literally torn off..
E. A. Dunckei has spent a lot of
money and devoted his undivided at
tention to this business during the
past few years. He has assembled
a modern plant modem even for a
large city and he has trained a force
of workmen so skillfully that work
in. the establishment has become a
! pleasure rather than the disaggreable
j place in which the business has been
j classed in years gone by.
Mr. Dunckel feels that he has made
real accomplishment and he wants the
people to visit the place next week.
This "visit your laur-dry week" is
a national movement, and will be ob
served in all of the laundries of the
country where progress is the order
of things.
gon public service commission, wants
John M. Scott, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific lines of
Oregon to answer.
Scott, in his published defense of
the rate in effect on the brunch lines j
of the Southern Pacific in thin state, ,
entirely evaded the issue according to ,
Buchtel, who in answer to Scott's
"defense" has set forth the foregoing j
problems which he desires to have !
answered. j
Another "poser" which Buchtel has
put up to Scott is this:
"Why is the rate between Portland
and Hillsboro 2.5 cent's per mile
while a traveler continuing on he
same line from Hill'-boro on to
Tillamook must pay at the rate of
4.8 cents a mile for the last leg of
the journey?
The controversy between Buchtel
and Scott arose out of a letter from
Buchtel calling attention to the ili.s
crepencies in rates existing on the
various branch lines of the Southern
Pjlf'ific KVKtiim in uitn C...tt : I

his reply justified the higher rates

traverued and the sparsity of popu
lation in the territory crved.
Buchtel contends that the "defenie"
of Scott "was confined to argument
unsupported by facta" and has wt
forth the noted problems for specific
replies in order that the commission

guide its future action for,

Mr. and Mrs. Steiner and Mrs.

at the home of George Reuf. Some
quarter of a century ago Mr. Reuf

school life and school day pranks. The
young people of the Reuf household
had supposed that dad was a model

BUCHTEL ASKS SCOTT
TO TELL WHY OF RATES
Why should an individual de
siring to go t Salem from the Oak
Ridge branch of the Southern Pa
cific system pay a rate of 4.8 cents
a mile while one travelling to the
Wendling branch pays only 3.6 cents
per mile.
Why should a traveler going
from Black Rock to Powers via
Salem pay from Black Rock to Dallas
at the rate of 4.8 cents a mile, from
Dallas to Eugene 3.6 cents a mile
and from Eugene to Powers 4.8 cents
a mile or an average of 4.4 cents per
mile.
These are some of the questions
