BETTER RECALL THE RECALL.
irwr ruca11 PGtitiou has 1)0011 ttle(l ttgawst Mayor U.-N.
'V of Ashland, in which it is alleged that the mayor has
'iT'suoVn himself 'generally incompetent" in the administra
tion of his office, has been "instrumental" in expending
I the publie.funds on improvements made particularly for
his private property, and he summarily dismissed the su-
. perintending engineer of the municipal lighting plant, and
that he has "shown favoritism and incompetence" in the,
appointment of committees for the current year.
The charges sound rather flimsy to the outside puh-
trom (lie practice 01 tlitiall bid Iho rich, who
to luit buy their machine.
The average American lias loo much ingenuity and loo
much' impatience to bother with a HchooJ for fljriiig. Giva
him a machine and it will not be long before he is its mas
ter or breaks his neck in t.ljo allempt. Aviators are cer
tain to rapidly increase in number, as aviation is an at
traction to tho udvonturesojne that will draw thousands to
tho calling. A loss of interest in trial expositions and
meets will follow and the aviator, instead of drawing big
fees, will be reduced to a salary as man-birds become com
mon throughout the world.
The success of aviation must eventually work a tre
mendous revolution. It would not be surprising if air
ships eventually brought about universal peace, for they
can bring about such wholesale slaughter that neither fort
nor battleship will afford any protection from an army of
airships dropping (Ivnanpte'through the heavens.

AEROPLANES BECOMING COMMON.
There is every reason to believe that within a few year's
aeroplanes will become as common as automobiles are to
day. As long as the novelty lasts they will command bigh
prices, and so be purchased exclusively by the wealthy,
but as the demand increases they will be turned out by
countless thousands by hundreds of factories, and the com
petition wiiriower the price to a reasonable sum that is,
a fair profit on the actual cost of production.
The cheapest aeroplane is said to be one made by (San
tos Dumont. which 'of ails in France for $1000. Aeroplanes
posn ?oiro.Tfl; so qons jn flying across the English channel
are sold for $2400. The' Antoinette monoplanes, the
AVridit. Voisin. ITcnry, Firman and Morris Firman bi
planes are catalogued at $5000. Tho biplane purchased
at Portland, the first one in Oregon, exhibited at the recent
auto show, cost $7500, although the actual cost of produc
tion probably did not exceed $500.
The demand both in America and Europe for aero
planes is greater than the supply, and this will result in
their production in large quantities by another year. Tt
does not seem a difficult problem to learn the art of fly
ing; those who have ridden in airships claim that they are
not more difficult to control than automobiles and that it
is operated simply through a system of level's similar to
those of the motor car.
There a dozen schools of flying in France. Tlvo rates
charged for teaching range from $800 to a combination
which necessitates the purchase of an aeroplane with the
lessons to follow. The latter plan is tending to exclude
