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

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.
