arc requited In seasons of aver
age rainfall tp pasture a cow and
on how muc the cow Is worth
when ready for sale.
In other words, land Is worth
in' normal times What 11 will pajj
a reasonable return on. But these
aren't normal times.
SMALL tracts of land in North
ern California; and Southern
and Western Oregon are in keen
demandReal estate dealers gen
erally report that the difficulty
lies In finding land for sale not
in finding buyers for it. .
Much of this buying Is belni
done by people who are obviously
unfamiliar with land purchase,
Many of them, this writer ha;
been told, pay for it in casl
. taken' out of pants pockets am
nccled' from roils of lurCe bills,
.Some of ,them dp not even know
.that land Is transferred by deed.
;liHY do so many people who
If never thought of buying land
' before wnnt It now? (
You can probably answer that
question as well as anybody pise.
' Maybe much better; than this
writer. But it Is PROBABLY be
cause people (eel instinctively
that present Inflated, boom con
ditions can't last forever and
that a reckoning must conic soon
er or Inter.
... The belief fs deeply rooted In
ATI people that land Is the founda
tion of all wealth and that it Is
more permanent and less sub
ject to fluctuation than ANY
OTHER form of wealth.
THAT may be true, or It may
not be.
This writer, by chance, leluip
cd from the East by way of Mi
ami at the peak 6i the wild Flori
da boom of the lute t!)20's. Lois
then were selling at almost any
price askvd for them and were
likely to be snapped up the next
day at a price MUCH higher.
By the next year, the boom
had busted and these same lots
couldn't be sold at ANY price.
TlfE point is that the price at
which Florida land was then
selling had NO RELATION
WHATEVER to ils Intrinsic
value that Is, the figure at
which its I'RODUCTION will
yIMd a reasonable return.
All this lot-selling was Just
wild, getrkhqult'k Rambling.
The price at which these lols
were selling had no more to do
with their real value than the
retail price of poker chips has lo
do with the size of the pot.
IT could happen that way again,
with all this demand for land
as an Investment for the larger
earnings of war time. But It
doesn't appear to this writer that
any such danger point is yet ap
proaching. As nearly as can lie learned,
most of these new real estate In
vestors want the land FOR IT
SELF, ratlior than for any quick
profit to tie made from resale.
They are taking this opportunity
to satisfy the hunger for land
that seems to be Ingrained In all
Americans.
As long as thai remains true,
"FREEDOM FROM WANT"
T,
REEDOM from Want" is
h the Unified States today
tory. But a post-war day looms ahead when plenty of wise
thinking and hard work may be needed to keep that brave,
Utopian promise even close to its present level of achieve
ment, reports S. Burton Heath, N. E. A. commentator.
That a start has been made on this wise thinking is evi
dent in the eighth annual
board. It contains several new recommendations which are
designed to give a broader base and greater range of "Free
dom" of which this program is' a' practical representation.
Among other things, the board would extend old-age and
survivor insurance to jiiclude the self-employed, farm and
domestic workers, and employes of public organizations,
non-profit institutions, and federal, state and local govern
ments. There should be little quarrel with this, since
obviously modest incomes, cessation of earning power, and
acute need are not the exclusive properties of the workers
now covered by social insurance.
Neither should there be much bickering over the proposal
to protect the social, security rights of the niillions now in
the armed forces, oi1 to insure against total loss of income
due to permanent or total disability.
. The Social Security board also presents sound arguments
in favor of replacing the 51 state and territorial unemploy
ment insurance systems with a uniform, national system to
be administered locally. Besides correcting numerous cur
rent inequalities, the proposed system would relieve employ
ers of considerable complicated bookwork, especially in
the case of interstate employers.
The board would also lower
fits to wives from 65 to 60, since, as it points out, wives are
ordinarily younger than their husbands. And it would re
move the requirement of regular school attendance now
attached to benefit payments to dependent children.
One "thing is certain. The Social Security board's propo
sals deserve careful consideration and temperate argu
ment, aimed toward the greatest good and unclouded by par
tisan clashes of political philosophy.
Social insurance is here to stay. Millions have needed it,
even in 'this time of supernormal wages. Millions more
are going to need it badly after the war. The whole country
Has a stake in seeing that the lawmakers give them the
best, fairest and wisest deal possible.
(By L. F. R.)
Music lovers and patrons of Roseburg and neighboring
localities deserve commendation for underwriting a sea
sonal program of high class entertainment for the com
munity. Through the initiative and energy of the recently
organized Community Concert association, enough seasonal
tickets have been sold to assure four concerts one more
than the jtotal originally set. This is welcome evidence that
wartime jUress litis not dulled the community's appreciation
oFciiltural values and 'that "private purses, although heavily
tapped by increased taxes find living costs, as well as by the
patriotic duty of war bond buying, are still open for sup
port of meritorious entertainment.
Miisic is ah ages-old anodyne for worry and tiresome
physical routine, and iti this respect there will be compensa
tion for many who subscribed to membership in the concert
association during the current period of exacting wartime
conditions. The concerts, while necessarily limited in num
ber by the experimental character of the venture, will never
theless put the community on the map as a promising field
for subsequent appearances by outstanding talent on a
much broader scale. This warrants the happy expectation
that expansion of healthy entertainment will bo apace
with our growth in population and industrial development,
to provide a proper balance in living conditions and enhance
the attractive advantages of the Unipqua valley.
we don't need to be greatly wor
ried over this present land boom.
The danger oint will arrive
when people begin to buy in or-1
der to sell the next day for a big
profit.

Congressman Ellsworth's talk.
We'd like to suggest you notice
and note the Treasury Star Pa

o'clock in the evening. It's Lionel
Barrymoie In "The Man Without
a Country". Sounds yood, ell
what?
Remember tonight at 6:30 is
Soldiers Willi Wings with super
guest stars. We like Royal Arch
Cunnison at 7 with his news, too
but none of them can touch
Glenn Hardy on I he Newspaper

corned. Just as an appetizer for
Saturday night listening there's
a big deal on all tour major net
works with such an array of
stars as you've never heard, in a
salute to President Roosevelt on
his birthday and a grand finale
to the March of Dimes.
