As a moth breaks its cocoon lo spread full grown wings, so Reselling will have Its oiiportunily to emerge us a city of industry and wealth. Whether the city achieves this desirable aim, or, like Hie weak line moth is unable to break from lis resirainmg oonus ami remains half in and half out of its shell, depends entirely upon those of us who make this city our home. The need for immediate planning and immediate action Is clearly in dicated. It Is not loo soon to begin a thorough study of trends and needs to prepare for the changes thai are sure to come. Pessimists are calling attention to the many families that have left Roseburg and the surround ing area. They arc painting a dark picture of the city's future. Iiut those who are more closely watching the situation point out that scarcely a habitable resi dence building remains unoccu pied. Power company service con nections are more than at any previous lime. The Roseburg News-Review is proud of the fael that Its subscription list shows more readers than ever before., Despite the removal nl many people lo defense areas, Rose- burg's population Is growing and ! Mil continue lo grow. Wlio are these people moving Into our community? Kor the most part they are men and families connected with the log ging and lumber industry. They urc loggers, truck di hers, mill workers, piling workers, me chanics anil the many others es sential to the Industry. Rut these timber workers do not exclusively constitute the newcomers In Douglas county. A glance at (In deed records or the liles of any leal estate broker reveals an astonishing and almost unbe lievable change In larm property ownership. Abstract ol flees are laboring diligently lo keep pace with the demand lor abstracts ol title on larm and city property transfers. Nearly all ol these new comers, buying agricultural lands, come with ample lands to make substantial down payments while retaining ample reserves for ef ficient operation of their acquired properties. A surprising number ol cash sales, some nr large amounts, have been reported. This means that Douglas coun ty is receiving a blood transfu sion. These newcomers w ill bring new Ideas and new demands. Many come from larger and more active sections. Their coining will mean changes in community thought and activity. These changes already noted are but the beginning ol a much greater allcialion in community lite. Wartime restrictions halted a shift of the center of the lumber industry lo southern Oregon. The change in location already was definitely under way w hen it was MopH'd by the lieemg of ma chinery, construction investment restrictions and other regulations necessitated by the war ellorl. That change, however, will come Willi I he ending ol the war and. doubtless, will come w ith startling suddenness. Already numerous large de velopmenls have been outlined for Douglas county by major op I'l atoi s. Some have even purchas cd properly and are only awaiting the lifting of federal restrictions to engage in large scale projects. Roseburg cannot and .should not exKct lo monopolize tills in- Wesf-HoLtiDAy iltistrial fe'iow lh. 'i he city's loci-, tlon restricts the number of: jilnnls that can be effectively located in I lie immedi.it" vicinity. ' It Is, In fact, more desirable that the industrial development be spread over the county as a whole. There Is, however, no reason why Roseburg should not become the recreational oasis, the trade center and the business headquar ters for this vast industrial ex pansion. But unless steps are taken immediately to assure that .desirable status, Roseburg is apt to find that it has lost its op portunity, j Were you ever a' stranger in a town or a community? If you have had that experience you I realize that the first things you! looked for were guide posts. I Advertising is the guide post ! lo any trade center. Jf Roseburg Is to become the center of acti vity of this industrialized com munity of the future, it must pro vide adequate merchandising fa cilities and those facilities must be advertised. These highly wel come- families who have recently moved to our community are now forming their buying habits. vvnen oilier newcomers arrive I hey will not search out the old timers for information. Their acquaintanceships will be formed among those in the same type of activity and who have arrived earlier. Thus the trade habits be ing formed by those newcomers now here will be most vastly ex panded Willi the sudden burst of industrial activity. The merchant or corporation negl.-cling instilu - lional advertising now is apt to fl, husim.S!j iil(,,,Mf! wu. I n(.w ..., i,n iv,.s the There is a marked tendency among some business firms today lo reduce advertising expenses. Merchandise Is difficult lo secure. Many shelves are empty. Kxecu lives are frankly worried over how Ihey will manage lo supply existing Hade with limited stocks. They are making little effort to secure new trade, finding I hem-si-Ives badly handicapped In ef forts lo serve their customers of long standing. As a result they either reduce or eliminate ad vertising. Locally, such a condition may spell disaster, mil only lo the ill dividual business but lo the com munity as a whole. If Roseburg is lo be a trade center and If the individual businesses of tin lo enjoy the benefits of the I anticipated expansion, then it is j not'toO early In start erecting the L-!., ii. .. ....I.

These com panies today have nothing to sell the public except their names. Their products are frozen. They are manufacturing nothing for public consumption, yet they are spending millions of dollars lo keep their trade names and the quality of their merchandise and service before the public, know ing that soon they will be forced to rely upon thai public's buying power for continued existence. Institutional advertising, es sential on a national scale, is doubly important in communities such as Douglas county, where there is. and will continue to be, a tremendous shitt in population. It Is true that some motorists on a county road may di ie hap. hazardly. with utter disregard for signs, trust ir.g to luck Ihey will lake the right tin n to their des tination. Hut the wise motorist inquires his way or reads the signboards. In just sih h manner, merchants can leave their talc in the hands of lortune. but the wise business man is I he one who is now erecting the guide posts which will turn the Row ol Inline trade in his direction.

In a radio speech ir Vichy, advocates a French al liancc Willi Germany as Kurope's "sole hope of peace." lie says he is certain of a German victory. What he REALLY means is that an alliance with Germany is the only way now lo SAVE LAVAL'S SKIN. Their skins, rather than their country, are the chief considera- c'tylinn of the scum politicians who have brought Krance lo her pres ent sad state. ERAIAN General Hitter von U Thoma, captured in Africa and brought lo London, is said to have talked lo the effect that "Hitler j has ruined the war machine built , up by a great general starf." j Von Thoma belongs to Ger , many's professional soldier class, and probably doesn't have a great deal of use for Hitler, j Hut don't gel too much excited ; over his alleged opinions. Dis agreements between Hitler and 'his generals have been frequently reported before, tint tin- German war machine still shows no signs , of In-ginning to break up. ly'NT believe that Germany V WON T crack up. She did be lore, and may again.

Concerning the NORTHWEST As Viewed at the National Capital By John W. Kelly WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov 24. For reasons, principally politi cal, no sales tax was included in the revenue bill recent'y i.ar:ted and which becomes operative January 1. This does not mean, however, that the sales tax pro posal Is dead. Already members ol the finance committee are walking around figuring on the revenue bill to be adopted next year and wondering where the additional six billion dollars want ed by the treasury department will come from. Washington state has a stiles tax; Idaho had one and repealed it. Oregon has always rejected every proposal, largely by the votes of farmers and labor. Calif ornia has such a tax. All told, there arc now 23 states with a sales tax and these probably would resist the federal govern ment imposing a similar grab. It is being suggested that a fed eral sales tax (excepting food) be the new source of revenue and that part of this tax be rebated to the respective states. The reba ting would remove the sting of opposition, it is believed. Where the new revenue will be found stumps government eco nomists, unless a sales tax is tried. Statistics of the government esti mate that 57.8 per cent of the consumer units will have less than $2,000 income this year; 21.3 per cent will have less than S1.000 and 5.7 per cent less than S300. A consumer unit is a fam ily or a single consumer. The 5.7 per cent with less than $500 in come for the 1942 is calculated at 2,412,000 households. Of all the consumer units 30 per cent re ceive less than $1250. Office of price administration is sponsor for these figures. According to the department of labor, 50 per cent of individual employes in manufacturing received less than j $30 a week, and 24 per cent re ; ceives less than $20 a week. Half I of the workers in war industry ; plants were receiving less than S37 a week. The department says , that $30.27 a week is the mini i mum of cost of maintaining a family of, four. The full time shipyard worker j on Puget sound and the Van ; couver-Portland area draws about $00 a week some more, some less. Touches Everybody One argument for the sales tax is that the individual can de cide for himself how much he shall pay. He can spend and pay 1 a sales tax, or save his money to - a minimum and contribute very 1 little in taxes. Another argument i is that it produces an immense sum ot ready cash in a steady flow ; that it touches every pocket hook and results in individuals w ho never pay an income tax con tributing to the federal govern- imenl; that only by a sales tax j will several million people ever assist in carrying the cost of the war. : Senator George, chairman of ; the finance committee, says that Ihe extra six billion dollars could be raised by compulsory savings I (payroll deductions), but it would I lake the bread out of the mouths j of poor people. To Conserve Zinc For more than a year efforts to have the zinc deposits in Ore gon and Washington developed have met with resistance by t lie I chief of Ihe division of zinc. Not withstanding the various reports presented to demonstrate the potential tonnage of this ore in several sections of the northwest, the official refused to be con vinced and asserted that present sources of supply were adequate to meet all requirements; that opening up new zinc properties would not he justified. Now PB, through its newspaper division, is preparing to issue an order to all newspapers to curtail on the use of zinc in their etching room be- j cause of threatened shortage. 1 Later the papers will be told i about ink. newsprint, number ot I pages. j Economy To Be Watchword j The new congress will be more ! economical, it is believed, than ' the outgoing congress. There will 1 bo a closer watch over expendi tures and with $26,000,000,000 still unexpended the congress is i not likely to make a new appro ! priation until that sum has been ' reduced. The jxilicy has lx-en to 1 impropriate and appropriate un S til there is a large surplus, suf ficient, It is contended, to run the w ar for many months say about i 11 months. Items such as the pur j chase of S24 axes to cut down .ri) i trees, as reported by Congress j man Pirksen, or appropriating for a rat-killing project in New Orleans with a cost of $2.07 for j each rat exterminated, will be definitely rejected. There is a ! possibility that congress will at tempt to curb the civilian army, now almost 3,000.01)0 strong, and try to weed out young men on government pay roll and send them info the army, navy or ma lines. A fair share of the M.lXXi.- I Will BONDS Naval tugs arc used for the same purpose that the Army uses mules . . . that is for all purpose hauling. They work around piers and Navy yards and tow large lighters. They ace alto used as service vessels and for other purposes. The small dis trict tun is approximately 05 feet I leng wilh a displacement of about iu ions. The district lug carries a crow of from 8 to 10 and costs about $95,000. Your purchase of War Bonds will enable the Navy to build the tugs necessary for the tremendous job wlucb faces them in our harbors and coastal waters. All of us, join ing together, buying Bonds regular ly every payday will give the Gov ernment sufficient money to prose cute this war successfully. Buy from your bank, postofnee, your ra dio station or at some retail stores. V. S. Trtastry DtfartmeiU 000 civilians are now living in the northwest and, unless brakes are applied, there will be more of them. Navy, anticipating some thing, is offering monthly re wards to employes who show how to prevent waste. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting System, 1490 Kilocycles.
