Editorials
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
yHE Los Angeles Herald prints a
table showing increases of the
Los Angeles county cities whose
1930 populations have so far been
reported to the census bureau.
These increases range all the way
from 36 per cent for Glendora to
24S6 per cent for Beverly Hills.
Thus we have official proof of
the rapid growth of Southern Cali
fornia, of which we have been
hearing so much unofficially In the
past decade.
yHIS writer, speaking as one In-
dividual, is PLEASED by
Southern California's great growth.
We of Oregon sell a great deal of
our surplus production to Califor
nia. The more people there are in
California, the MORE PRODUCTS
we can sell to California.
'AND don't forget the tourist. The
tourist is apt to come first to
SEE and return later on to LIVE.
That is the way California has got
n lot of her present population.
The greater Southern California's
population, the better are our pros
pects to get Callfornlans up here as
tourists and thus show them what
a fine state Oregon really Is.
pH 1 8 writer, again speaking
as one Individual, Isn't
ashamed to show Oregon to
ANY CALIFORNIAN. Oregon,
In natural beauty, In natural
resources and in prospects for
future development, Isn't ex
celled by ANY STATE IN
THE UNION.
HO MUCH for the bright side of
California and her great growth
In population In the past decade.
Let us now take a look at the side
Rhlch is not quite so bright.,
George I. Dean, who has Just re
turned to Oregon after spending
the winter In California, said yes
terday to this writer:
"In twenty years more there
won't be a white man left outside
the cities In all of California south
of Sacramento. Aliens are rapidly
driving the white men off the
farms down there."
WE WANT development here in
Oregon. We want growth. We
want more population on our
farms, and MORE AND BETTER
farm production.
But this writer thinks we DON'T
WANT the kind of development
that will drive the native Ameri
can farmer off the soil and into the
cities because he can't compete
with aliens who have a lower
slnndard of living.
What do YOU think about It?
WHEN you think of dairy prod
ucts, what comes first to your
mind? Milk, butter and che.se,
probably.
Don't forget ICE CREAM. Last
year SIX BILLION POUNDS of
milk went into the manufacture of
Ire cream. About a third of a mil
lion cows were required to produce
the milk which we consumed in
the form of ice cream.
The amount of whole milk used
in the manufacture of ice cream in
this country Just about equals the
amount of whole milk used In the
manufacture of cheese, and Is con
siderably greater than the quantity
used in the manufacture of con
densed milk.
fCE cream is an American inven-
tlon, which came along about the
time of the Revolution. The first
newspaper advertisement offering
ice cream for sale appeared in the
New York Gazette of May 9, 1777,
almost exactly 153 years ago.
According to one story. Dolly
Madison, the attractive and popu
lar wife of President James Madi
son, was the first to serve Ice
cream at an important social

EXPLANATION
OF ALTERING
BILL IS MADE
Substitution of Northwest
for Roseburg as Site
Merely in Keeping
With Custom.
This City Will Be Chosen
for Institution, Says
Opinion Expressed
in Telegram, .
While the national soldiers'
home bill In which Roseburg is vi
tally interested has been amend
ed to provide for an institution in
the Pacific northwest instead of
definitely designating Roseburg as
the site, there is no need for ap
prehension on the part of Rose
burg. according to a message re
ceived today from Senator Charles
L. McNary. who is giving every
possible Influence to the passage
of the measure.
"The house committee on mili
tary affairs voted favorably to
day to report the sollders home bill
with an amendment that the home
be located In one of the states of
the Pacific northwest," Senator
McNary states in a telegram re
ceived by the Roseburg chamber
of commerce late last night. "I
have Just discussed the commit
tee's action . with the t chairman."
Mr. McNary continues in his mes
sage, "and he stated that the prac
tice of the committee Is .to select
the locality hut not the site, lenv
ine the definite location to the
board of managers of the national
home for disabled and voluntter
soldiers at Dayton. Ohio. '
"I have presented to the board of
managers Roseburg' unusual ad
vantages as n site for a soldlerV
home. Dr. E. B. Stewart, while
in Washington, presented Rnpe
burg's unequalled claims for this
honie in a very effective way.
"We shall continue our pctivl
ties. which in mv oninion will re
sult in the location of the home In
your delightful citv."
McNarv's Aid Valuable
Senator McNary concludes IiIb
lengthv telegram with the request
that his best wlahen he extended
to General Georee White and nil
others present nt the dinner to be
he'd In Roseburg tonight.
It Is certain, ocenrding to Dr. E.
B. Stewart, that Senator McNary
will do everything possible to land
the home for Roseburg. He has
excentlonel influence In congress,
and his support Is erlremely valu
able to the city of Roseburg. The
matter now rests largely in his
hands, and from the great inter
est he hps shown it Is apparent
thnt the bill will receive every pos
sible consideration from him.

Roberts Confirmed
Justice of U.
(Associated Prota Leaned Wire)
WASHINGTON, May 21. The
senate yesterday confirmed Owen
J. Roberts of Philadelphia as an
associate justice of the United
State supreme court.
Confirmation was without a rec
ord vote.
Roberts takes the place on the
supreme court bench left vacant
by the death of Justice Edward T.
Sanford of Tennessee. President
Hoover previously nominated
Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina,-a
member of the federal cir
cuit court of appeals, but the sen
ate rejected this nomination after
a two weeks' controversy, 41 to 39.
Known now as a lawyer of great
ability, Roberts wanted to be a
teacher when he was In "prep"
school. He did not think lawyers
In pursuing their profession could
be honest, but after arguments by
his father and advice from the
headmaster of the academy, chose
the profession which has led him
so high.
He is only 65 and one of the
youngest men ever named for the
place, the sixth Pennsylvanlan
since the court was erected 150
years aeo.
Not only has he practiced law.
but he has taught it In the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. He was a
leader of the bar before President
Coolldge shot the spotlight of fame
on him by naming him to prosecute
the celebrated oil cases.
In addition to his home in Phil
adelphia, Roberts owns a 700-acre
estnte 30 miles distant. He is very
fond of the woods and roughing it
