POEM FOR THE DAY,
By LOUI8 AI.HERT BANKS
ROSEBURG. OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 16, 1928,
SURPLUS OF TEACHERS
'?;' r According to. reports; submitted, tat the meetiiiir of the
board of state normal school regents, at Salem last week,
more teachers in Oregon are now out. of employment than
nt any time in the history of the sUite. In other words
Oregon's supply of school teachers is in excess of the need,
In spilQ of that fact the regents last weeH, ordered, the con-
struction of a third state normal, school, at La. Grande.
With the state facing a. deficit of nearly $2,000,000 and with
more teachers now than jobs, it seems like the board of
regents has displayed poor judgment. But. the people at
large have, no complaint coming. At the last state elec
tion it was their voles that authorized the additional nor
mal school and the regents are but obeying that mandate.
And, now Mr. Taxpayer, consider what you, have. adde,d, to
thq state's financial burden: The new school structure it
self carries an appropriation of $175,000; to equip it will
require approximately as much more, and at each bien
nial session of the legislature thousands of., dollars will
have to be authorized, to maintain the school, not. to men
tion sundry other thousands of dollars for, desired "Im
provements,!' Somq idea. of. thq amount, of money that
will bp requested to carry on the La. Grande normal school
may bo gleaned from the fact that the Ashland, normal, only
in the second year of its existence, is askjng over $350,000
for the next biennium. Monmouth normal is. asking over
$590,000, of which $425,000 covers the estimated cost of
proposed new buildings. The aggregate tptai of all items
for all three schools makes quite a sum, doesn't it? Not at
all pleasant to contemplate, especially when the expenditure
of about one-third of it will be premature. As remarked
before, it was the state electors themselves who authorized
the third normal school, but we feel safe in asserting that
there would have been no outcry against the regents had
they withheld their accordant order until such time at least
as the state' felt an impending need of more teachers and
was not quite so heavily in the "red."

,' " , A generation or so ago Michigan wa,s a great lumber
"state. Mighty pino forests covered her, hills and river val
leys, and the cutting of them poured a. great stream of
wealth into tho pockets of Michigan's citizens. Now most
j)f tho lumber is gone, although thq upper peninsula still
.""does a good bit of cutting each year. But Gov. Green be
. lieves that the summer tourist and vacation business will,
in the near future, give Michigan an even greater annual
revenue than the lumber business ever did in its palmiest
' days. He warns citizens that if they do not kill the goose
that lays thq golden egg if, in other woods, summer vis
itors are treated courteously, given good accommodations
and are not overcharged Michigan will speedily find her
lakes, her sunshine ard her beaches far more valuable than
her old-lime pine forests. Probably he is right. It is
amazing that Michigan's development as a vacation center
has not been even more rapid. Climate and scenery aro su
perb, Nature has provided a magnificent vacation ground
there. .

THE MARCH OF THE SHADOWS
Go watch the twilight shadows fall
Until the darkness covers ail
Across the mountains, stepping slow.
Until at last no hilltops show;
The shadows, always on the march,
Shut out the light 'neath heaven's arch.
No matter what, we proudly say.
The shadows always have their way.
' The king who once, was crowned with fame,
Is now a faint, forgotten name;.
The conqueror who shook the world.
Now sleeps beneath his banners furled;
The voice that woke men's proud acclaim,
Is silent now, awakes no flame;
They all have joined the ghostly band
Who dwell in darkened shadow-land.
As with the great, so 'tis with me,
My eyes grow dim ,1 cannot see;
My ears groW deaf, I cannot hear
These flaggings tell of shadows near.
But as I in the shadows march,
I still have hope, 'neath heaven's arch,
That in God's morning time of light,
I'll find find all the shadows white.

A HIGHWAY INVESTMENT,
There are Investments nnd investments. Somq things
that hardly look ,liko investments turn out, on examina
tion, to he excellent money-back propositions. Just now a
great super-highway, connecting' Canada and thq United
States with all tho countries of South America, is being pro
posed. It would enable motorists to travel the entire length
of the two continents. At first glance it looks like a good
idea, but expensive something that would cost more than
it would be worth. Hut maybe it. would be a mighty good
investment. At present there nre only 1,000,000 autos in
all South America. Will such a highway in existence can
it bo doubted that that number would double, treble, al
most overnight? Anil where would tho new cars come from
if not from the United Stales, purveyor of autos to all the
world? It might be that American business men would be
very wise to get behind Hint proposed highway and make it
a reality.
The New York welfare council says New York is no

Oil's Importance '
Not only is tho oil industry Im
portant as- lurnishinu a private
means of locomotion to practically
every citfzen of our country, but
petroleum products form a larger
proportion cf railroad tonuace
than any other manufactured com
modity. The oil industry has invested
oome ?11.0ai,00ij,t00, whiteh Is half
as much as Is Invested in rail
roads and more than twice the In
vestment of the steel industry.
in the GU years Bince tho first oil
well was drliied in Pennsylvania
in 1859, 740,000 wells' have been
drilled in 21 states, of which 310.
000 are still producing. One-half of
all producing wells had Initial pro
duction of not more than 25 bar
rels a day, whilo less limn three
per cent of wells yield mom than
50 per cent of domestic produc
tion. Tho industry spends some
$500,000,000 annually for new
wells.
Physical waste of oil is prac-.
tically noncsistent with improved j
methods of producing, handling!
and refining. Up to a few years j
ayoi datural gas was either al-l

Oil companies hear, a staggering
burden of taxation, and, in audi

retail sales tax on gasoline varying
from one to five cents a gallon. A
number of cities also levy nn ad
