HXF Roseburg is the outstanding
clean city on the touritt's drive
he is going to remember it; and if
the surrounding territory looks
prosperous he is going to think
of the whole country.'
These words, spoken the other
day by A. C. Marsters, president of
the Roseburg chamber of com
merce, are true words. They should
be taken to heart by ecry resi
dent cf this city.
XTIEItE was a time, before the
era of good roads and universal
,, touring, when communities went
far afield In their efforts to attract
new population.
That time is past. Now, in the
summer season, potential new pop
ulation pours constantly through
every city located on a main high
way. These travelers "tourists,"
we call them, for want of a better
word are all prospective new resi
dents. r
Many of them, attracted by what
they see, will come back to become
permanent residents.
QO far as these prospective new
residents are concerned, a city's
homes and its business district are
its show windows. If what Is shown
Is attractive, the result will be ap
parent in a growing population.
There is no doubt whatever that
tourist travel is the most promis
ing of all sources of new perma
nent population and development.
California has proved that plainly
enough.
DOSEBURG Is Inherently one of
the most attractive of Oregon's
cities. To see Hoseburg at Its best
Is to want to live here.
And don't let anybody tell you
that Roseburg isn't a good business
city. It IS a good business city
soundly prosperous. People here
have the money with which to pay
their bills, and in the last analysis
that la the ONE SURE TEST of a
good business point.
No one, tourist or otherwise, who
locates here Is ever going to re
gret It. We can truthfully and sln
rerely any that life is better worth
living in Roseburg. '
QO let's dress up the windows of
our city attractively. Let's clean
tip and paint up. Let's put our best
foot forward. Let's make Roseburg
such a clean and beautiful and
homelike city that every traveler
who passes through will want to
stop and stay.
We have the finest climate on
(he Pacific coast. We have a love
ly natural setting. We have out
door attractions that can not be
surpassed anywhere in the world.
If we can Induce people to stop,
we can induce them to ptay. Let's
make Roseburg so attractive In ap
pearance that no one can get
through without wanting to stop.
XRliON has the lowest infant
mortality rale in the United
States. What parent can deny that
here alone is cause for the utmost
rejoicing?
Oregon is fourth in the Union in
percentage of the population which
gets a high school education, ll
costs money to send children
through high school, and if Oregon
people were stricken with poverty
they could not give their children
better educational equipment than
is enjoyed by the children of 43
other states.
"VREGON is eighth in the Union
in percentage of Its teachers
who have normal school training
and seventh in the amount of edu
cation, figured in years spent in
school, that the average young per
son receives.

By 250 to 113 Vote
Expression of Entire Body
Shows Majority Favors
Hoover's Ideas.
FINAL VICTORY SEEN
Approval of Farm Aid Bill
in Original Form Now
Expected to Come
in Senate.
(Associated PrpM Leased Wire)
WASHINGTON, June 13. The
house today backed up the views
of President Hoover by rejecting
the expert debenture plan of farm
relief.
The vote was 250 to 113.
The debenture proposition, which
Mr. Hoover had attacked twice in
public statements and which he
had termed a subsidy, was voted
down on a roll call vote taken at
the insistence of the senate which
had approved it on two occasions.
A number of senators had been
represented, however, as demand
ing the inclusion of the plan In the
bill in order that the house mem
bers could be recorded on it.
Senate O. K. Expected
Today's action was regarded by
administration leaders as paving
the way for a recession hy the Ben-
ate in its stand and a quick trans
mittal of a relief measure, mlnud
the debenture, to the White
House.
A few minutes after the house
clerk had announced the outcome
of the ballot. Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, the democrat senate
leader, indicated he would carry
out his announced intention of
abiding by the decision of thi'
house. Robinson has beeu a lead
er of the move In the senate in be
half of the debenture and has been
insistent niton a direct vote by the
house on the proposition.
u now m expected he will re
cede from his position and not con
tinue to press for further senate
approval of the plan
Ad Valorem Basis Asked
WASHINGTON, June 13. The
senate finance committee today
voted down a motion by Senator
King, democrat, Utah, that the
committee confine its tariff revl
slon to agricultural products. The
vole, 11 to 7, against the motion,
was strictly along party lines.
After rejecting the King motion,
the committee received a proposal
that agricultural products be plac
et! on an ad valorem or percent
age basis of tariff protection in
stead of specific. It was presented
uy cnestor H. Gray, legislative re
proscntalfve of the American
I-arm Bureau Federation, who said
his recommendation represented
complete reversal of no iev.

argued, ad valorem duties had

industries and he Raw no reason

Mexico-Church
Rift Reported
To Be Patched
fAMoelatetf Press I-oated Wire)
MEXICO CITY, June 13. Ad
ices from Washington indicating
that actual agreement had been
reached here on the long standing
Mexican religious controversy, and
that communications asking papal
sanction to the agreement had been
forwarded to Rome, created a sen
sation today.
No official announcement was
forthcoming but there was reason
to believe that yesterday's meeting
of President Emilio Portes Gil and
Roman Catholic prelates merely
climaxed long months of prior ne
gotiations, in which the basis for
settlement had been reached.
n well informed quarters here
it was said this basis was mutual
consent for a broad interpretation
of the country's religious laws,
stringent enforcement of which in
926 led to the episcopate s order
withdrawing priests from the
churches. Such, It was pointed out,
would involve concessions by both
the Mexican government and the
church, without either giving in un
duly. The same well informed source
said the Vatican probably would act
quickly and satisfactorily on the
terms of the agreement. It was
pointed out as extremely unlikely
his holiness would delay or per
manently pigeon hole the matter,
as It was understood happened on
two previous occasions when nego
tiations looking to settlement;
camo to a bead.
If agreement did eventuate in
the single meeting yesterday there
was inclination to give much of
the credit to Ambassador Morrow
and the Mexican ambassador at
Washington. Manuel C. Tellez, both
of whom returned here hurriedly
when Archbishop Ruiz recently
started for Mexico City.

?WEST POINT, N. Y.( June 13. !
Secretary of War James W. Good
told the members of graduating
clans of the United States Military
academy today that one of their
greatest opportunities for service
wll be the voluntary observance
of the laws of the state in which
they live and "of the nation whose
laws you will take oath to obey."
Ihe regular army officers life
Is no longer confined to the per
formance of military duties, Sec
retary Good said, but the times
are making many varied demands
upon the officers. The govern
ment Is using the army officer
more and more at home and
abroad as Its representative and
realizes he makes a tuctful and
capable agent, he said.
in the performance of his varied
tasks It is imperative that he es
tablish bonds of common purpose
with his fellow men In civil life,
remembering that when we assume
the soldier, we do not lay aside
the citizen," said tho secretary.
'His first consideration must al
ways be the national defense but
that does not preclude a rational
participation in the life of the com
munity and a sincere interest in its
problems and projects.
I he habit of observance of do
mestic law will breed respect for
