Most Astounding Price Concessions Ever Made
at Eilers Piano House Closing Out Sale
There's a reason for it. We are going out of' business in Eugene and we can not afford.to go to the trouble
and expense of shipping these instiuments back to Portland. During the last ten days we did a phenom
enal business-. Sold more than a carload of pianos, but we still have left many alluring bargains, es
pecially in instruments of the highest artistic grade-some of which we have marked to a still lowerfigure.

"To Htipport this confidence and
to gain these ends wo must have n
settled governmental policy. And II
must he a right policy. II must be
a policy consistent with the genius
of our Institutions. The people of
this country do not desire Socialism
even as an experiment. They do not
propose to pass through a dreaded
'uunrtcr of an hour" of revolutionary
changes to satisfy themselves of those
Imperfections of human nature of
which they are already v!l apprised,
and which make Impossible the cou

make progress and it must he steady

"It must be a policy consistent
with our constitutional limitations
and distribution of benefits by mak

in which they were Intended t.i work,

maximum efficiency In both state

"It must also be taken to be a set

of our railroads. I do not believe in
arbitrary action with regard to these
Important concerns either by con
gress or by state legislatures or by
commissions. The railroads are not
the enemies hut the servants of the
people. To secure public service,
they must be subject to regulation.
It must be taken as firmly establish
ed that the the evils of rebating and
of unjust discrimination v. Ill not be
tolerated and that adequate and im
partial service upon reasonable termt,
must be insisted upon. There must
be machinery through which publi((
onngauons as Helmed by law may be
enforced. This can best be obtained
through an administration board
inch as the Interstate, Commerce
Commission. The question of rates
must be determined after full con
sideration of all pertinent facts to
the end that the requirements of Im
partiality and reasonableness may he
complied with while at the same time
a fair return to the owners may be
assured. Nothing should be lacking
In administrative powers for the at
tainment of these objects.
"It Is also essential that there
should be efficient supervision of the
Issue of securities to avoid the evils
of Inflation of over-capitalization.
"We wish to see American Indus

ery Just opportunity for the displav
of talent and Inventive skill, eveny
possible improvement in the process

short which enhances the opportun

velops and encourages trade. And
at the same time we desire to put an

proceedings by v. hl.h. aside from oc
