Editorial Snap Shots If there are to be any change in the water rates they should be reduced— not raised. Anyway, we don't see what the State Railroad Commission has to do with water rates. We are about tired of commissions butting in, and it is time the people “swatted' all the commissions that are doing business and sucking at the taxpayers teat at Salem. Press dispatches say the German spy system is also in operation in the United States. As it is known that Germany’s military machine embraces elaborate plans to envade every coun try in case of war, the United States has not been overlooked in this re- spect and the spy system that the Germans have maintained for so ....... , , years ----- ... many in European Countries, is, no doubt, well established in the United States. Surely Oregon has its fill of freak experiments in law making but just to keep the pot boiling the Oregon Slate Grange now advocates a com mission form of government for the state. Instead of creating any more commissions it seems to us that the State Grange should have started a movement to "swat” the remaining commissions now in existance. Please give Oregon a rest from freak Legis lation and freak experiments. We want to speak a word of praise for J. H. Dunstan, who worked most energetically to make the Oregon State Grange a success. He is deserv ing of a great deal of credit. There is one little joke on Mr. Dunstan that is not generally known. When the special train pulled out of Bar View he was on board and had to hunt up the conductor to stop the train and let him off. When he returned tin local contingent, who were there to sec the visitors off jollied him and decided that it was Mabel who was the attraction. We haven’t much sympathy with business men who will give credit to everybody that conies along, and then complain that they cannot make collections. Isn't the business men of this city running too much risk in this respect? The way to stop book account:', is to shut off credit, for this is a poor time to be increasing them. The mail order houses don't give credit and have no bad debts to wor ry about, and isn't it a fact that some people will send cash to the mail order houses and stand the local mer- chant off as long as possible? The snap shot man believes that $1.00 a month water rate for a small family is plenty, this to include sink, wash tub, hath and toilet. Why pay so high a price for water when it is the most plentiful thing in Tillamook ' Surely the citizens ut this city have had to pay too high a price for their water, lor if it was some private in dividual or corporation that was "soaking” them the same as the Water Commission have been doing, what a great big howl there would be for lower rates. So instead ot raising the rates the citizens should turn out and demand a lower rate than they are now paying. W e have been asked by the Chris tian Science Society to reconsider our refusal to publish an answer to Rev. Nan Winkle's sermon. As we stated last week, we do not allow anyone to start a religious controversy in the Headlight, and for that reason we do not intend to recede from our posi tion. Ils up to the Christian Society to meet Mr. N an NN inkle in a debate and fight it out on the rostrum. There are humbugs in the business world and humbugs in the religious world, and as Byrum said the American pen- pie liked to be humbugged, that, no doubt, is why so many persons arc being humbugged by Eddyistn. Co-operation appeared to be the key-note of a great many subjects discussed at the Oregon State Grange last week. It was co-operation of the Granges, the Women's Civic league and the Tillamook Commercial Club that made the meeting in this city so pleasant for the visitors. It was, how- ever, Prof. French and President Kerr, of the Agricultural College, who spoke of the need of co-opera- lion between Grange, and Commer- cial Clubs, and especially between the farmer, and the business men, for it is to their mutual interest to work hand-in hand. This was good advice, and we hope the Grangers and the business men of this county will un derstand one another better and fit together in the future.
