AUTOMOBILE
Z The number of persona killed in this country in automobile
accidents in 1921, will it is believed be close to 15,000. This is
ouly a part of the havoc done by reckless use of machines. Many
people sulTer serious injuries and some are crippled for life. ' '
ZZ The automobile is a wonderful power for good. It has cheap
died transportation, it has saved time, it enables people to live in
pleasant neighborhoods yet work in crowded sections. Yet when
jnnii turn this instrument of speed loose on the highways,, you put
a-errific power in the hands of all kinds of people. " ' ' ;
- Under an ideal system of government, the persons who are
to operate automobiles would be subject to close examination and
inspection. Not merely would their original competence be con
sidered but their mental habits and driving methods would be
subject to severe inquiry. A man who was discovered running
Bis machine at a high rate of speed would be promptly reported,
find his license would be taken away from him for an extended
period or perhaps permanently.
But the American people are tremendously good natured.
Every day almost they see someone who is violating the spirit of
the law. t But to report that person woujd involve some bother.
.They feel it might force them to appear in the matter personally,
possibly having to go to court to give testimony. So tliey weakly
and tolerantly overlook the violation and nothing is done.
; , The police and courts can not alone check the evil of reckless
driving. The officers of the law cannot be everywhere at once.
To get the law enforced and make the streets safe, the public
must co-operate. People must be willing to make complaints when
Ihey observe reckless acts. If they could do that so frequently
"that speeders would constantly find themselves in hot water, the
.number of automobile fatalities and injuries would see a speedy
decline. . ' "
. At Houston, Texas, every unemployed man who proves him
self not to be a professional floater, is hired by the city as a park
employe. The wages paid are $1.25 a day. It is realized that this
is extremely small, though it would count more in a southern city
where less fuel is required than in the north. But the idle men of
the place seem to welcome the chance to secure even this meager
wage, as an average of 250 men each day have reported at the
prtrks. For 10 cents the men are given a large mug of coiree and
two generous Bandwiches. Those doing the best work for the city
at this nominal wage arc given the first opportunity to take good
paying jobs as these come along. While many people would feel
Hint these men should be paid more, yet cities can do more for
their unemployed where they are willing to work for what the city
governments feel they can afford to pay.

An epidemic of contagious disease is a good deal like a fire.
If you catch it in the early stages you can isolate it and put it out.
The community has learned this lesson in the matter of fires. The
alarm is given and responded to with all the speed of which lire
men and mechanical equipment are capable. But in the matter
of epidemics, there is in many places much delay in giving the
alarm. Some places now are sending out notices to all household
ers, requiring them to notify the health officers within 12 hours of
any case or suspected case of contagious diseases, cither in one's
own family or outside. Some families try to conceal the existence
of contagious disease, and often fail to call a physician until child
ren have distributed infection among their mates. Every family
should realizo the peril created by such a course.

It is understood that a contract has been made bv several
American firms to furnish Poland with about f 10.000.000 worth
of machinery, motor trucks, and raw materials. The transaction
is entirely on a credit basis, eight per cent gold notes of the Polish
government having been taken in exchange for the goods. A
resident of Chicago who has been making an investigation of the
country says there is n large field for American products there,
but that all trade at present must be done on credit, lie is con
vinced that the outlook for Poland is bright, with no threat of
bolshevism, strikes, or other uprisings.

STATE PRESS COMMENT
Lumber Outlook Is Hrlglit.
Tho Guard Jias de.voled consider
ablo ppace to reporta ol the condi
tion of ttaw lumber market during the
past year because oT Its bearing upon
the prosperity of the northwest as a
whole. It concern not only those
who are engaged In tho business In
some of Its various branches, but af
fects Indirectly all lines of commer
cial activity.
Last year business and industry
was flat In the cast and middle west
but the Taclflc northwest merely
slowed down because of the volume
of money poured Into this region by
tire hop and fruit crops, and a lum
bering Industry which, however, was
considerably below normal. Now
there Is Indiration that lumbering
may be on the eve of its greatest ex
pansion because of an increased ex
port demand and domestic eastern
market opened up by a slowing up
of operations In the south and lite
titlllratlon of a water route through
the run a ma cnnal. If the high ex
pectations of the lumbermen should
be resided It will mean that west
ern Oregon will be able to weather
the business depression with less
difficulty thsn any other section of
tlm I'nlted States. Lumbering ac
tivity will greatly stimulate every
line of business, because of the
money It will distribute directly and
Indirectly. Kugene Guard.
'. Whnl Is a Luxury?
It Is commonly asserted that lux
uries are for the rich, while the poor
must he content with the necessities
of life. It Is a lie. Luxuries ore re
served for the poor.
What is a luxury, anyway! Is It
not something which by reason of
the dlfUrtiltlv to be encountered In
obtaining it becomes doubly- prec
ious? And as those difficulties are
cleared away nd It becomes in
creasingly easy lo obtain the thing
sourht. does It not by that very pro
cess lose its status as a luxury and
become an everyday necessity?
It follos. then, that for the very
rich there are no luxuries. Great
houses, msny servants, fine clothing,
glittering automobile all of those
splendid visions to which the poor
loolc forward with eagerness and
longing -are tor the rich but the
drab and Commonplace necessities of
existence. They must be hd In or
der to maintain the position of the
rich man In the community; bvnee
ther serve ihe ram purpose as the
toon mat nourishes the working
man s strong iHy and enables him
to labor effoc ttuiiy-. Eugene Uos-

Insure a farmer's crop, or the crops
of a whole section, or any staple crop
for the entire country, guaranteeing
the producer against loss in case
their season's work should prove a
failure through no fault of tholr
own?
i It Is a mighty big subject, dealing
as It does with the biggest, most
varied and least organlied of all our
Industrie. Yet Ihero are many who
Insist, as the New York World does,
that the thing Is feasible. It is even
considered possible that the confer
ence may recommend undertaking
It. on a comparatively small and ex
perimental scale.
The government Itseslf will hard
ly be expected to go Into any such
venture, at the present stage, and It
Is hardly possible that any existing
Insurance companies will tackle so
big and uncharted a risk. The idea
is to establish mutual Insurance so
cieties among the farmers them
selves. Individual farmers of any
particular locality pooling their
chances and the lucky ones giving
of their gains to help out the losers,
or the united farmers of different
sections going Into It on a big scale
so as lo equalise profits and cover
the occasional loss of an entire agri
cultural section.
Here would be such co-operation
among agriculturists as has hardly
been dreamed of. Yet from present
indications It may cotno some day.
