Justices.
To require a two-thirds vote of
the court lo Invulldute any law.
To make retirement from the
oourt mandatory at 70 or 7fi or
after a specified term of service.
Outspoken opponents Ilko Huricn,
Senator Wheeler D Mont.), and
Senator Van Nuys (0., hid.), said
they would not compromise on nny
enlargement of the court, but that

On Ihe administration side.

Aside from wago end hour stand

ternities. In fact .they are the em
bodiment of activities wherein
they function.
A man who does not have a
business Interest In his town and
does not belong to the chamber of
commerce or one of the leading
civic clubs Is not only shirking
his clutluu as a citizen, but be Is
neglecting the companionship, fel
lowship and leBsons In experience
to he had by mingling with his
fellows and helping ilium to build
a city. A one-horse power .engine

It can only lift pne thlrtieth.ot the
weight that can be lifted by a
thirty-horse power engine. Hence,
when bunded together with others
of like Intent, the power for good
Is Infinitely greater.
Civic Enterprises
Since the organization of the
first commercial club In Roseburg
commercial organizations have
been civic enterprises. The meet
ings held In those, earlier . dayB
demonstrated that even these pio
neers realized the power of a com
mercial organization. They have

The . original organization spon
sored the bringing of industries to
Roseburg until today it Is one of
the most Important factors in the
building of good roads, encourag
ing new Industries to come, and
help those already here. Tho
chamber of commerce is the only
organization maintaining a per
manency in the city of Roseburg
going after the building of high
ways, encouragement of industries,
development -of markets and other
phases of community thrift.
The members of the chamber
of commerce and civic clubs are
ulwayB advocating the opportuni
ties and beauties of their city and
its ' trade territory. Silhouetted
ugalus't the hills to the west, which
could almost he termed mountains,
Roseburg has a strategic location.
It is prac'ticully In the center of
the county; near the junction of
the North Umpquo,' river und the
South Unipoua river; It Is on the
Southern Pacific railroad, Pacific
highway (99) counects with the
Oregon Coast highway and the
Redwood Umpire highway; it is
625 miles north of San Pranclsco;
60 miles from the Pacific ocean;
208 miles south of Portland und
75 miles from any city of like Bize.

It is the consensus, however,
that what the Commercial club

done In the past and the evidence
