Who is it that, with sounding name,
Doth organize with loud acclaim,
And start once more thae festive

Who is it that, with bearing brave,
Once more proclaims. his wish to save.
Ami calls Imnsclt the I'uhlic s slave
The Legislator. ,
Who is it that in hordes doth come
To pluck the ripe committee plum,
And loll per diem on goodly sum?
The Clerk.
Who is it that forthwith appears
And weeps and wails pathetic tears
O'er wrongs of this and other years?
The Lobbyist.
Who is it that with vision keen,
Is first and last upon the scene,
And midst it all remains serene?
The Reporter.
Who is it that, in vales and hills,
Wears overalls and cuts no frills,
But pungles up and pays the bills? '
The Taxpayer.
THE GRAND STAND PLAYER.
Anderson, Iowa, Herald:
There arc too many grandstand
plays. We have them in every walk
of life. If you watch a baseball game
you win see a lellow who wears
loud sweater and who poses in the
held, ile will run like a deer, when
it is unnecessary. When he makes a
poor slide he gets up and limps away
as though he was badly injured, and if
he had not been, he would have made
the base. The grandstand player is
in church atid in the lodge. When
tilings arc quiet and there is only the
mid -week prayer meeting, the grand
stand player has nothing to say. Hut
Winn inc cuiircu is mil and something
is up, Mr. Grandstand l'laycr is sure
to get up, and with a flourish of
trumpets make a great bluff, lie's at
church socials anil tells all about it.
11c never docs any work, and he man
ages to get his hands on all the hon
. ors doming around. He never gives
a cent any good cause without first
standing on top of his house and yell
ing so the town will notice him. The
grandstand player works hard to fool
(lie people and thinks he is fooling the
Lord, lie may occasionally make his
bhtfi" WArk on some unsuspecting
brother, but he hasn't fooled the I ord

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP AT
ASHLAND.
In submitting the following letter
from fix-Mayor and Councilman W.
F. Loomis of Ashland I wish' to state
that I have known Mr. Loomis for
many years and know him to be a
conscrvathe, successful business man,
one who makes a success of his own
business and also that of the city of
Ashland. P. D. GILBERT.
Ashland, Ore., Dec. 18, 1910. Mr.
P. D. Gilbert: I will try to do my best
to give the information that you want.
In the first place our electric light
plant is not finished; it has been
uphill light from the start, there has
been numerous delays, the local light
company knocked on our bonds, and it
was a long time before we could gr
a bid that our charter would allow us
to accept, and then the engineers esti
male was too low, and then the local
light company got injunctions and
stopped our work, and we had to fight
uieiu in tne courts, even to tlic su
prcnic court, out vc ueat ttiem every
tunc, nut it all cost money and time.
the local company must have known
mat we would skin them in the end.
but they knew it would take time and
that was what they wanted, as the
longer they could keep the city's plant
from being completed, the longer we
would have to use their juice. After
the case was decided in the city's favor
oy in supreme court the electric light
committee went ahead with the work
until the money was all used, and th
they had to stop. I think they made a
mistake in not completing the plant
as iar as tney went instead ot trying
10 pui me wnoie plant in altogether.
I'lie people voted $3(1,000 more bonds
to complete the plant, and we adver
tised inem tor sale and the local com
pany got busy with their hammer
again, and we had to advertise three
tunes before we got a bid we could ac
cept. The bonding company's law
yers arc examining the proceedings
now and if their opinion is favorable
the plant will be finished this spring.
uur city is very poorly lighted at
present; the street lights arc what is
called the series system, they are 30
candlc incandescent, and arc suspnded
in the center ofthc street, and we nav
$1.45 each per month and we haVc
about 170 of them, which makes it
cost us about $250 per month for street
ngnts. We Have no arc lights at all.
We think that when the city's plant
gets in running order we can have
hrcc times the licht on the streets
that we now have, without cost, and
that the plant will more than pay run
ning expenses, by selling lights and
power to citizens. The A. E. P. K: L.
Co. have a Hat rate here. One lamp is
$1.00, two at 60c, seven at 23c, etc.,
depending on the number id' lights.
This charge is for resilience lights.
Commercial rate is double the resi
dence rale. The water rates are $1.00
per month for each 3-4 inch (tip, and J
they 4:111 have all the stand pipes they
want for that one tap. There is an
additional charge of 10c tier month
for each toilet, and 10c for each bath,
and during the mouths of June, July,
August and September we pay an ad
ditional 25c per month for the hose
privilege of sprinkling 10,000 st. ft. of
lawn or garden. !'"or irrigating acre
tracts a charge of $S.OO per acre per
season is collected in advance. There

consumer 5t .- extra to have it turned
on again. This rule is rigidly en
forced, and there is always from 50
to 75 consumers that forget to pay
their rent and have to pay t lie penalty.
The water rents bring about $A),(XK)
into the water fund annually. You ask
if our water and light plants arc satis
factory. Will say that the system of
municipal ownership is all right, and
there is not enough money in Oregon
to buy it from us, but you must un
derstand it is not perfect, as we have
to extend it, and enlarge it every year,
and each succeeding administration
has their own ideas how to do it
I am indeed sorry for any one that
is at the mercy of the Standard Oil
Co., and 1 would be very much in favor
of bonding the city for a iniinicip.il
plant. Wc do not consider a light or
water bond debt really a debt against
the city at all, as the rents take care of
the interest and principal, and is really
an asset instead of a liability.
With the best regards, I am, re
