Since tho completion of tho successful cooperative offort In ob taining tho. rcsorvolr examination nnd bringing the opproprlatlons'com- ,mltteo through Cenlral Oregon there. has been nothing nioro heard from Jefferson county about cooperation. What Is now wanted?

Bnbson, in which just that point was mado. Mr. Bnbson'a nrtlclo was entitled "Food or Frocks." Tho discussion rends as follows: "There Is much food for thought In tho facts to which Mr. Bnbson calls attention. 'It Is estimated, ho says, that last year tho American pcoplo fair, Wer good roads and her Irriga- spent over $22,000,000,000 on non tlon, Madras and tho greater portion! essentials. If millions of men nro of Jefferson county, as would any lOther community in which the re sult was its life or death, has for more than five years been working for tho ' North unit Irrigation dis trict. Success seems close at hand. ' "With none other than the kindly feeling of one community toward an other, this great wotk has been ac complished with no Idea or thought of damaging either the communities of Bend or Redmond. We neither have the space nor inclination to re hash the fight which this commun ity hbs experienced in Its effort for irrigation. Needless, however, to say that it has, practically. worked alone. Other communities, as undoubtedly was right, were working for their own best interests, as was this. Wc needed tho North unit; they did not. :They were Informed of our plans and their assistance was solicited. "At this late date they have no fight, only a cry. The Redmond Commercial club, as did the Com mercial club of Rend, have appoint ed committees to investigate. Bol ter they had appointed committees a few years ago to assist in securing this united project. "The Bend? papers, and the Bend correspondent to the Portland pa pers, .ho,ve .made an effort to place the North unit in an unfair light. It is doubtful whether they will suc ceed, as those who are interested, and 'who "will h'elp put over the project, have' investigated and are correctly informed as to conditions." . - .1 Wo do not know just what our Mddras'frlend means by his reference to the' Seattle spirit and must ask for an explanation. Further, before wo engage In' any discussion of the mat ter 'referred 'to in the article quot ed above-,) it would be desirable to have an.- understanding as to the facts '.Involved, It has been understood that tho North,, unit, plan was to take all the storage, -patera of the Deschutes, leaving nothing for the other units of tho Deschutes project. The Pio neer novf, .says there has been "no thought of; damaging either of tho communities of Bend or Redmond." Just what does this mean? What Is the fact as to the North unit plans?' The .Pioneer Is in position to know' about these things. Will it explain? If the North unit does not want all the water, what coopera- cngaged In producing materials for making luxuries, or In manufactur ing or selling luxuries of any kind, they hnve not time to devote to rais ing foodstuffs and making tho essen tials of life.' "According to Unbson, seven eights of tho selling effort today Is directed to getting people to buy lux uries, nnd It Is plain thnt until pco plo stop buying luxuries, nnd thero by r.eleaso tho mnterlals nnd labor that aro going Into them, thero will not be enough of tho necessities of llfo produced so that they can bo sold at more moderate prices. "But nn even more deplornblo fact Is that most people nro becoming laiy and careless as well as extrava gant. Consumption Is not only In creasing, but production Is falling off. Production per man has fal len in Industry by 20 to -10 per cent. "There are, of course, many other factors that enter into the solution of these pressing problems of the cost of living, but It seems to us that a consideration of the facts men tioned must lead every right-thinking person, who wants to dlschnrgo his obligation to society and to aid in tho solution of Its problems, to ro allzo that he must stop buying lux uries and increase his output. "If Just half tho people who arc complaining about the cost of living would practice as well as preach this doctrine, this bugaboo of the high cost of living would quickly disappear." councimen It should bo 'said that thoy nro doing everything they enn to euro for tho city work, frequently at n loss to their own business, but It Is too much to oxpoct of them nnd a chango should bo mado. v Whether a commission form of government or n city manager plan ts tho hnmo of tho now form is not especially essential. What ts needed Is tho employment of nn official who can glvo his wholo tlmu to tho job nnd be paid accordingly. This might bo done by enlarging tho lowers of tho city, recordor undor Iho prosont charter leaving tho mayor nnd coun cil as advisors (o whom reports could bo mado at frequent Intervals. Or u new charter may bo adoptud following the corporation Idea and placing thq ndmlnlslrntlnn in tho bnniU of nn executive official with a board of directors .through whom ho will bo responslnlotcTTho stock holders, that Is, tho people. Whntover the plan steps looking townrd tho chango should be mado at once nnd It tho InUlntlvu ts not to bo taken by outside organizations wo believe tho mayor and. council IhomBolves should mrtko this tholr own business and presonl to tho peo plo ns soon as posalblo tho proposal for n chango.

Without reflecting in the slightest degree on tho present city adminis tration we think It fair to say thst a change in the form of our mu.-ci-pal government is extremely desira ble. Bend at present operates uuuer a charter adopted in 1911 when its population was less than 1000. In the nearly ten years that have elcpred the population has increased iroro than five fold. With the increaso have come scores of new problems requiring for their proper solution more time and attention than nny un paid official can afford to give. To tho credit of our mayor and our Increased to any appreciable extent It would bo duo to deliberate profit eering. Tho two 8tntomont8 nro not contradictory. Ono recognizes that prices may bo increased; the other asserts that if they aro there will be no Justification. As wo sco It, both non are right. Mr. Thorno foresees n condition like that created by tho oxcess'proflts tax. j Mr. Lauck condemns it In advance If tho condition occurs It will bo worthy of condemnation, for It will simply noan n roturn to tho present stnto of affair by which higher prices havo brought a domand for higher wages, and tho granting of higher wages has mado higher costs. Un less that clrclo can bo broken, the country Is doomed lo unrest nnd tur moil. Tho opportunity to break It Is In tho hands of tho men who set tho prlcos. In tho enso of tho oxcoss profits tax ovory man through whose hands. an article passed on its way to the ultimate consumer has added some thing to moot tho tnx cost. ;Corpor ntlon reports of tho past two years havo shown Increases in earnings and in surplus that mako It clear that tho percentages added for taxation nnd profits hnvo tremendously nnd unnecessarily increased costs to tho consumer. If tho samo process Is followed In connection with the rato increases, the wheels will bo motion again, and tho result mny be disastrous. and friends.
