THE DOUGLAS COUNTY DAILY VOL. XXX NO. 314 OF ROSEBURG REVIEW ROSEBURG. OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1930 VOL. XX NO. 244 OF THE EVENING NEWS J itllMjj 4 j - By FRANK JENKINS O EPItKSEN T A T I V E S of the world's five greatest sea pow ers are assembled In London for a conference on limitation of naval armaments. What they hope to ac complish, if they accomplish any thing at all. Is prevention of use less waste of taxpayers' money In competitive . building of great fleets. There is no thought anywhere in the world, at present, of complete naval disarmament. CUPPOSE you and your neighbor have euch a daughter, and that thete daughters are about to grad uate from high school. With the idea of overawing your neighbor and putting something over on him, you buy your daugh ter an outfit that is much more ex pensive than you can afford. Whereupon your neighbor, deter mined not to be outdone, turns in and buys HIS daughter an even more expensive outfit than you have bought for yours. rOV are both very foolish In- 1 deed. You have strained your resources to buy something you don't need. You have confirmed your daughters in expensive habits. Because you have splurged for things you DON'T need, you will have to go short on things you DO need. It would be much better for both of you to get together and say: "Let's be reasonable about this. Let's not mortgage our whole fu ture in a useless effort to get ahead of each other." pitESIDENT HOOVER and Pre- infer Mac Donald, sensible, clear-seeing leaders, want the great naval powers of the earth to get together on this plain, common sense basis, just as you and your neighbor might get together and co-operate for mutual benefit. They can see no reason why na f lions shouldn't co operate, just as individuals co-operate. FUT don't be too enthusiastic over the prospects for agree ment at the Loudon naval confer-r-nce. This conference will be domi nated by the diplomats, and all down through the world's history diplomats have had very little use for common sense. They prefer diplomacy, and, broadly speaking, the fruit of diplomacy is war. AT THE last session of the Ore- gon legislature, according to figures just compiled at Salem, 28 stenographers were employed in the senate and 55 In the house.

Teople of an earlier and more conserva tive day called that WASTE. We tell ourselves that by throw ing away what we have and buying something newer and better we in crease consumption, stimulate busi ness, make more employment and create greater prosperity. T SOUNDS absurd, at first, and all the other peoples of the earth tell us quite positively that it IS Possibly it Is. But the fact re mains that here in America, w here more than anywhere else in the .world we follow this practice of "becoming dissatisfied with what we have and throlng It away and buy ing something newer, we have more prosperity, and more widely distributed prosperity, than any- (Continued on page 4) GAIN NOTED ROSEBURG POPULATION 15 Per Cent Increase Since Census of 1920 Despite Terminal Transfer -by S. P. Road. Total, Figured From Data on Schools, Far Above 5,000; City Has Few Empty Houses. Roseburg's population has shown a very substantial gain during the past ten years, despite adverse cir cumstances, chief of which was the removal of the Southern Pacific railroad terminal. On a basis of school census, which is considered one of the most accurate means of checking growth, the city popula tion has increased nearly 15 per cent during 10 years. In 1920 the school census was 1.396 in the Roseburg district, while this year the total was 1,591, according to the tabulation just completed at the office of Mrs. Edith Ackert, county school superintendent. In 1920 the city's population, giv en by the government census of that year, was 4.3JU, which, it was generally conceded, was at least 1.000 below the actual number of residents. However, even on that basis, Hoseburg's population Is now well over 5.000. Few Empty Houses General conditions in the city point to a population as lacge as at any time in the city s history, de spite the losses that h'ave occurred in the past, as the housing situation is a good barometer of the situa tion, and at present there are very few empty residences. The school census for the entire county shows a gain of IS per cent, having increased from 6061 In 1920 to R7H9 In 1930. The school gain has been about equally divided between the cities and the rural communities. The eairi for the entire countv linn been IS per cent, while for the IS prin cipal towns or settlements where high schools are maintained, the Increase has been 19 per cent. Census In Detail The census for the principal communities of the county, as com plied by Mrs. Lillian Davis, clerk at the countv superintendent's of fice. Is as follows: Pist. No. 1920 1910 1.
