Editorials
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
w
E find this statement by Dill
Roper, head coach at Prince
ton:
"Night football is brutal and out
rageous. In night football the eye
strain upon the players is tre
mendous, and their whole program
of attending classes in the morn
ing, exorcising in the afternoon
and then studying at night Is
revolutionized."
RUTAL or otherwise, night
football it spreading. It is
spreading because it gets the
crowds. The crowds bring the dol
lars. Dollars must be had if foot
ball, as a spectacle, is to be kept
up to the standard demanded by
Die public.
The public gets about what it
demands. It always has, and it al
ways will.
IF you are interested in produc-
tlon and markets, here is a sig
nificant little Item in the news of
the day:
"Idaho looks forward to pros
pects of a bumper potato crop.
Federal estimates place the 1930
crop at approximately 27,800 CAR
LOADS." r
MfH SHUCKS!" you will say,
T If you are a cynic, "they'll
Bwamp the market and get noth
tlilng for them. So they'll bo worse
off than It they'd raised a little
crop."
You' will be wrong. Idaho's big
crop won't swamp the market, be
cause they are GOOD potatoes,
kept up to quality by right grading
rules. Products of that sort find a
market.
IDAHO, more prosperous than
ever before in her history, has
learned a great lesson, which is
this:
"Grow products only of the high
est quality. Standardize and gradu
ate quality by rigid grading, so
that buyers will always know what
they are getting when they buy in
Idaho. Then go into quality pro
duction on a scale big enough to
get Into the LI; markets."
Oregon needs to lcm n that same
lesson.
IJurtE is nn interentlng state-
ment from a recent depart
ment of agriculture bulletin:
"Millions of acres of farm land
which do not under present condi
tions produce enough to support
their owners properly are suitable
for growing trees.
"If such land could be switched
from crop production to timber
growing, the change would help
both the general agricultural sit
uation and put the land to profit
able use."
I:RR In Oregon we believe that
statement. Because we believe
it, we have ceased to talk about
how to clear logged-off land. We
know that barring exceptional
cases, such as the clearing of oc
casional areas of rich bottom land
it Is much better to get logged
I off land back Into timber than tc
go to the expense of clearing the
stumps off of It.
We have so much good land In
Oregon that is only fractionally de
veloped that It Is clearly unwise to
go on clearing up MORE land.
npiMDER Isn't very valuable In
Oregon right now. Tint the
time will come when timber WILL
be valuable. Don't ever doubt
that.
Timber Is the raw material for
our greatest payroll Industry. In
other states, where .umbering has
been the big Industry, the timber
has been cut, the land cleared up
and the saw milling Industry has
vanished. In Oregon, thanks to

Congressman, in Address
Here, Renews Promise
to Consider No
Other Place.
Construction Will Start
Soon After Selection of
Site; 4000 Will Be
Accommodated.
Roseburg, because of its super
ior clfmatical and geographical ad
vantages, is the ideal site for the
location of the proposer branch
of the national soldiers' home, and
Roseburg is also morally entitled
to the institution because of the
active campaign it made before
congress in securing passage of
the bill providing for the institu
tion. Congressman V. C. Hawley
declared today, speaking before a
large audience at the luncheon
tendered him at the Uinpqua hotel
at noon today by the Roseburg
chpmber of commerce.
The luncheon was very well at
tended, the dining room being
crowded. A muslcaf program, ar
ranged by Mrs. C. S, Helnline,
featured, a -vocal solo by A. M.
Davison. Mi'. Hawley was Intro
duced by Hon. A. C. Marsters.
Speaking chiefly on the soldiers'
home project, Mr. Hawley outlined
the activities that have occurred
up to the present time, and stated
that he expects construction will
be started, very soon after the com
mittee makes its definite selec1
tion of the site.
Vets Like Roseburg
"I have known for many years
that the district around Roseburg
provides an excellent locality for
the soldiers, regardless of their
age or disability." Mr. Hawley
slated. "The climate here is mild
and comfortable, and is beneficial
to all who come. With that thought
in mind. Roseburg immediately
presented itself as a prospective
site, when the matter of establish
ing a soldiers' home in the north
west was proposed.
"From my actual contact with
the soldiers 1 know that they all
like Roseburg. They are admitted
to the churches and lodges, are
welcomed at social activities and
are shown hospitalities that are
not accorded in many other com
munities. Naturally, they all have
a good word for Roseburg.

WHAT I THINK OF
COMMUNITY CHEST
C. A. LOCKWOOD, President
Lock wood Motor company: The
community chest Is the one sure
way of knowing that your dollar
will be spent where it is needed
and will do the most good. Your
dollar will go further than any
other method of distribution be
cause it saves duplication and is
handled In a business-like man
ner. The men who are in charge
r.f the community chest are in
a position to know who is In
need of help and it saves the
contributor from being bothered
by transient solicitors and nu
merous financial drives for vari
ous purposes. Let us all get
behind the community chest

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Ar
thur Woods, former police com

was in charge of unemployment

mission In 1921. today was asked
by President Hoover to assume
charge of the organization which
Is being created to relieve suffer
intr during the winter.
While President Hoover belloves
the countrv will be able to take
care of the situation during the
winter, lie expects Mr. Woods to
develop an extensive organlzatoln
to create employment, In cooporn
tion with the cabinet committee
which the president today called
into session.
The government's estimates of
unemployment he"- been fixed at
approximately 3.500,000 but Mr.
Hoover does not believe this figure
represents the actual burden upon
tb country.
The United States. It was con
tended, has a normal unemploy
ed total of approximately 1.000,
000, consisting mostly of those
who are not seeking work or else
are shifting from one job to an
other nod are not without some in
come. The census also shows an
average of one and three-quarters
breadwinners per family so that
the total families without any
source of income Is placed by the
government below the actual un
employed total. .
The government has extended
virtually all of its appropriations
for public works, amounting to ap
proximately $55,000,000, and Is
'planning to ask eongress to permit
greatly Increased expenditures so
as to give increased employment.
In-lers will outline through the press

of things.

JUDGES HELD LEGAL
(AMoelalcri Prrm located Wlro)
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 21 The
supreme court today held that the
referendum Invoked by William
F. Woodward of Portland against
tho 1929 leglslnl ive act for two
additional circuit judges for mull
no in ah county Is legal, and that
the measure shall be votetf on by
the people November 4. The opin
ion was written by Justice Brown
and affirms Judge L. 11. McMahan
of tho circuit court of Marion
county. The referendum was at
tacked by W. M. Davis, a Portland
attorney, whose complaint was
dismissed by the lower court.
Davis first attacked tho ballot
title on the referendum bill as
prepared by the attorney general,
hut the supremo court held It
proper.
In the attack on the referendum
the petitioners alleged the peti
tion as circulated was illegal for
the reason that It did not contain
certain verbale that appeared In
the petition as filed with the sec
retary of state. The supremo court
holds that these words were sur
plusage and Hint their removal
did not deceive signers.
It was contended that the refer
endum petition was unlawfully
circulated because It was circu
lated pending the appeal from the
ballot title. The supreme court
does not hold this contention.
The bill was passed by tho 1929
legislature, vetoed by Oovcrnor
Pat t erson and t hen passed over
the veto.

thu Issue held that the charter
was not sufficiently definite upon
the council's authority to issue and
sell the bonds without a direct vole
of the people. Tills made it ne
cessary for the council to refer to

which will give Hie council au
thority to issue refunding bonds to
take care of bond Issues for which
no sinking fund has been provid

little question of this measure fall

cil's only recourse would be to
raise (lie entire amount by n direct
tax levy, which would place a
very heavy burden upon the tax
payers. The Marshficld bank, which has

a sale for these bonds, and that
