Editorials on the Day's News fc". Consolidation of Tha Evanlng Newn and Tha Roseburg Review An Independent Newspaper, Published for the Best Interests of the People ROSEBURG, OREGON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1929. VOL. XXX NO. 131 OF ROSEBURG REVIEW VOL. XX NO. 211 OF THE EVENING NEWS DOUGLAS CPU NT V By FRANK JENKINS f TP TO the close of 1928, the U. S. government bad Invested In the federal aid highway system a total of $625,687,144. Just offhand, that looks like a lot of money. But listen to this Four states are now preparing to vote on highway bond issues in an amount almost equul to the gov ernment's total investment In fed eral aid roads. THESE Btates are Texas, Okla- homa, Georgia and Iowa. Texas, the largest state in area, proposes to build roads on a nig scale. It will vote this year on a highway bond issue of $225,000,000. Oklahoma, one of the newest of the states, is planning a bond Is sue of $100,000,000. while Georgia, far down in the old South, is push ing an issue of $75,000,000. - a Iowa, whose $100,000,000 bond Is sue last year was held unconstitu tional on technical grounds, will vote again on an issue of the same size. IN THE face of these contem- plated expenditures by the states, the government's contribu tion of $75,000,000 a year to highway building does not look so impressive. As a matter of fact, a determin ed campaign is now under way to Induce congress vto increase the federal aid highway appropriation from $75,000,000 a year to $125, 000,000 a year. IF" Is a significant little word. But IF we could bring about an agreement among the nations to limit naval armament, so that by spending small sums instead of huge sums each nation would - Btand In the same relative position to other nations In the way of na , val strength, we could build ALL our highway with federal money. Instead of only part of them, and still be money ahead. C PEAKING of roads leads natur ally up to automobiles, and It is rather sadly true that the subject of automobiles leads up naturally to the subject of accidents. Perhaps you didn't know this: Three people were killed in auto mobile accidents in the United States every hour of the day, which includes every hour of the night. That Is to say, more than 72 people are -killed In automobile accidents every day In this coun try. , These figures are vouched for by the National Safety council. TJ7IIY? Well, of course there are lots of people in this country and there are many automobiles. Seventy-two people out of a hundred-odd millions do not consti tute a very large percentage of the total. But the number of deaths Is far, far loo large. It would be VERY MUCH SMALLER if everybody who drives an automobile would drive carefully ALL THE TIME. flERE is one wise man's rule for careful driving a rule that has been quoted often In this news paper, but which can not be quoted too often: "Drive within your vi sion. That means: "Drive all the time so carefully that you will always be able to stop your car safely within the distance between you and any possible obstruction." 'T'HE department of agriculture advises wheat growers not to expand their acreage next year. On the basis of probable nor mal demand, probable normal con sumption and probable normal yield throughout the world, it says . an acreage larger than this year's will mean overproduction of the 'domestic market and unfavorable competition with all the rest of the world on an oversupplled world market. OUT, you say, advance figures indicated an overproduction of wheat this year, with conse quent low prices; but at the las minute drouth and heat stepped In and cut down the yield. True enough. You can't accur ately predict crop yields a year in advance merely hy consulting the figures showing acreage planted. Crop yields depend upon weather, and nobody can predict the weath er a year ahesd. OT this sounds like good sense: 1 thing considered, to return a some (Continued on page 4) ROSEBURGTDBE HOSTTOCQUNTY AT CELEBRATION Service Clubs' Committees Start Plans for Court House Dedication October 19th.
