Aflor n long fight agulust tho Catl

JJoguo Itlvor Tubllo Sorvlco Corpora
tion, nn Irrigation nnd power concern
having Its main office and place of
business at (Irnnta l'ass, last night
pnssod up Its lust opportunity to
onter Into competition with tho Cull
fornla-Oregon 1'owor company In tho
Halo of electric power to tho people
Of this municipality.
In tho last two or throo years tho
Public Sorvlco Corporation has spent
thousands of dollnra on dams and
power sites at Oold Hill, In Jackson
county, preparatory to entering tho
sou thorn Oregon field as a competitor
to the CallfornlaOrogon company
Last summer they applied to tho city
rouncll for a franchise to. Install their
polos and wires In the city of Grants
Pass, promising the council n very
material reduction In lighting and
Routing rates both to tho city and to
the private consumer.
Tho council reforrod tho matter 'to
a dlroct vote of tho people, and after
a blttor fight tho pooplo last July
tfrantod tho franchise to tho Public
Sorvlco Corporation, with the proviso
that a J100Q surety bond be given to
guaranteo tho stringing of two utiles
of uloctrlo" power wires within the
city. Tho time limit oxplrcd last April
without a foot of Tlro bolng Installed.
Tho Public Service Corporation
mndo vlon after plea for extensions of
time. Finally at tho city council
meeting of two weoks ago tho presi
dent of tho company was notlflod
that unless work was commenced by
tho 20th of thn irent month tho
bond would bo forfeited. At tho reg
ular meeting Saturday night the bond
was doelaroil forfeited and tho city
nttornoy authorized, to begin an ac
tion for collection.
nplLE wnr has rovcnlod thnt Germany Svns tho great
J- broker nation ot the world. Germans sold English.
American, French and Russian manufactured articles all
over the globe under a "made in Germany" Inbol. English
and American made goods were marketed in England and
America by Germans, uussia's import and export busr
ness was virtually controlled by Germans.
- Thrty per cent of the American exports to Russia and
20 per cent of our imports from Russia were handled by
Gorman commission houses. Even a greater percentage of
me iratie ueiween Jtussia ana oilier nations paw a ucr-
man commission.
Tho reason that Germany was enabled to become the
great international broker was duo to German efficiency
the superiority of the service rcn'dpred. Germans
studied tho wonts of other nations, their local mothods of
business, and catered to them. First in every foreign com
mercial field with a superior organization, they naturally
absorbed tho bulk of the business, for other nations found
it more convenient to rely upon the efficient service ren
dered by Germans than to organize and maintain a simi
lar service of their own.
Whatever the German does, ho docs Well. Thorough
ness is n national characteristic. Tho German is a plodder
and keeps everlastingly at it. His passion for analysis and
statistics amounts to an obsession. lie early learns con
centration and mastery of details and his toil is unremit
ting. The greatness of the nation is economic and indus
trial rather tlian militaristic, though tho iormor enables
the latter.
Tile entente allies have organized an economic alliance
to vo dace by mutual effort the commercial services ren
dered by Germany before tho war. It will be successful
only to the extent that th'q allies themselves are enabled to
render superior service to the Germans.
Commerce is a mutual undertaking. A nation cannot
sell goods to a neighbor nation unless in return it pur
chases tho goods of tho other nation. America can secure
the commerce of South America only when she is prepared
to purchase tho raw materials of South America in ex
change for the manufactured products of tho United
States an exchange Eurone imictieod before thn wnr.
No nation can boycott Germany without in turn suffer'
ing, for Germany bought as much as she sold. Buying and
selling is reciprocal. Germany , offered England and
France their best market. In attempting to eliminate Ger
many tney will bo injuring themselves and though the
bitterness nnd prejudice engendered by the war may make
such n boycott measurably successful for a limited time,
it cannot permanently endure.
Tho war, however, will greatly increoso tho efficiency

oi all tlio ueiiiceronts. Tho allied nations will be nearer
on a plane of equality with Germany in tho operation of
KiuiurjuH ami in uynuiiiwiri:. jjusuicss win uo system
atized and modernized as never bofore.
Wars are all duo, directly or indirectly, to commercial
rivalries. Tho present war is no exception. It is due pri
marily to surplus wealth seeking privileges in foreign
lauds nnd the exploitation of weaker peoples. Trado re
strictions and tariffs intended to bonefit tlio capitalists of
ono nntion at tho oxpense of capitalists of another, pro
voke tho friction that sooner or later produces war.
Tho plan of tho economic conference is to promoto after
tho war nnd keep nlivo tho primary causes of the war. Tho
preferential treaties will create ill-will that will smolder
until some overt act fans it into tho flame of conflict. Tho
conforonco seeks to interpose an artificial barrier based on
hate nnd prejudice nnd is doomed to eventual l'niluro bc-

plutocracy.
There is no earthly reason why tho people of France or
of England should hato tho people of Germany and sacri
fice themselves at tho behest of ruling cliques. Thoro is
no reason to believe that, even while cutting each other's
throats thoro is any ill-will between tho individual bellig
erents of the various nations aiivo what has been quickly
engendered by tho conflict and will bo as auicklv for
gotten.
