GRANTS PASS, ORE., FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1911
UNFORTUNATE LOSS OF GOOD ROADS BILLS
It is to be rctfretlftd that the good roads convention and
the hard work done by many citizens of the state outside
of the legislature has all come to naught. This is unfor
tunate, as it will cause to Oregon the loss of two years'
time and a large amount of development work in even
county in the state. Could the good roads movement have
cone forward this vear it would have been one of the best
1 1
things that could have happened the state. Just what
was the matter it will be hard to tell; there were four bills
)assed and the governor seemed to take delight in placing
lis veto on each of them. It looks as if our chief executive
lacked the time, the patience and, to some extent, the de
sire to carefully go through the different bills, and he,
therefore, resolved to make short work of them. After
discussing in a general way the good roads subject, he
concludes as follows.
"Under all the circumstances T am convinced that the
best interests of the state require that this subject and the
laws necessary for economical and effective operation un
der this section of the constitution should have further
and much more deliberate consideration by the people, and
especially by the legislative assembly."
Of course, it is useless to find fault with what has been
done, and yet it is hard for the people to lose the two years
which must intervene before anything can be done to re
pair the disaster. In this matter someone has blundered,
ior through the campaign and up to the time of the meet
ing of the legislature the good roads movement was the
most popular measure in the state. It should now be re
ferred directly to the people and give them an opportunity
to either pass the measure or reject it.
t; ' TO WNSITE OF SOUTH GRANTS PASS
The foundation for active operations in the new town
of South Grants Pass has been laid by the platting of the
lots and getting ready for their sale, which will begin in
the very near future. ' The townsite has been well selected
and there is no doubt of its becoming within a short
time one of the most beautiful sections of this citv. The

"An effort was made to get together on common
grounds with several interests of the Golden Drift Min

declined to take up negotiations, hence no progress was
made in that line." "
THE BORN RADICAL IN POLITICS
'in,.., ,.t ;i:t7;riiioic whn never pet credit
for the good they do in political movements, and these are
the radicals. It is never safe to follow these people, but
for all that they have instituted reforms and made govern-

Uil II l M'M Ul t w J UIV, H W. v --
undoubtedly' true that the best results in legislation are
gained by compromise, but good legislation would never
have been brought about had it not been tor the radicals.
It is so natural for men when they fail to get their way
in national or state legislatures to cheeriully accept a com
promise as a substitute for the radical measures advo
cated, and opponents are, for the same reason, induced to
take a step forward for the sake of peace and Harmony.
We have fallen upon strange times and our government
is undenroiner what must prove to be a revolution. Strang
to say, if we ever reach the old and smooth track where
harmony is to be found and the best interests of the peo-
nlo nrn snrvnd without, friction, the credit will be due to
the radicals. This class comes from no school, but is born
to take extreme positions on all political suojects. io
illustrate, it was the anti-slavery radicals who made the
United States worthy of the name of a republic. But they
gained their highest good by compromise, and this united
the people under a new amendment to the constitution.

The opponents of municipal own
ership of public utilities wjll do well
to turn their attention for a few
minutes to the city of Pasadena.
That city owns and operates Its
own electric light plant. Before the
city Installed Its own plant Its cit
izens were compelled to buy electric
ity from the Edison company.
As long as the Edison company
held an absolute monopoly It charged
the people of Pasadena 15 cents per
kilowatt hour claiming that It could
not reduce the price without Incur
ring financial losses.
Then Pasadena Installed Its own
electric lighting plant. The Edison
company immediately cut Its price
to 12V4 per kllowat hour.
The city-owned plant was able,
however, to make a 7-cent rate and
It did so.
T1k EdlHou company further re
duced Its rates, but after six
months of successful operation the
city nlant wns able to reduce the
rate to !i cents per kllowat hour.
The Edison company promptly re- ..j
diiced Its rate to 4 cents, but It had
sinned away Its hour of grace. The
people of I'asndena are buying their ,A,
electricity of the city at 5 rents jjj
rather than pay the Edison company
4 cents. i?d?
