Mayoi La Guaiuia got out of his system the supposedly serious statement 'ha' v ' -Mould no"' By Charles Y. Stanton E are all familiar with the sign of the hitchhiker the ex tended thumb. Along our roads and highways we find people of all types and ages, from youngsters in their teens to grey-bearded men; couples with tiny children, girls in various stages of dress and undress, soldiers, sailors and marines, workingmen and hoboes white and colored. The hitchhiker has become a tradition. His symbol of the out stretched, gesturing thumb is universal. The hitchhiker wants a free ride. He is going some place and wants to be carried to his destination without charge. Often he has ample funds with which to pay his way on trains, buses or other regular transportation facilities, but prefers, if he can, to save his money by thumbing a ride with some accommodating soul going his way. We usually think of hitchhikers as individuals or, at least, as couples or families. But we have community hitch hikers too. We have individuals, companies and corpora tions who are thumbing their way, riding free on the vehicle of civic enterprise and progress. Let us give you an example : The Roseburg chamber of commerce lias been working for years on a very modest budget. There was no fixed mem- I bership fee. A good many members looked upon their chum- j ber of commerce membership simply as a donation, not necessarily beneficial but customarily expected. Recently the chamber of commerce directors adopted a new policy. Busi nesses were divided into groups based on a broad scale in pro portion to importance, income, number of employes, etc., and membership brackets were established. These membership rates were not arbitrary but were recommended. With but very few exceptions, business firms have recognized the policy as sound and have voluntarily increased their fees to meet the recommendations submitted by the directors. The directors also have invited businesses not holding memberships to join the chamber of commerce. One such invitation was extended to a corporation long in business in Roseburg a concern which operates on a national scale and which, in recent years, benefitting from Roseburg' s rapid growth, has greatly expanded its facilities. A major officer of that corpoartion, replying to the invi tation, said in one paragraph of his letter: The company, of course is. anxious to meet its obligations in all communities, but operating nationally as It does, il is financially Impossible to meet the many requests for contributions for the fully justified and worth-while enterprises In any particular community. Of "course you can understand that If we favored one com munity (ve would be under the necessity of extending our ' support to others. What I am trying to say is that our position is not the same as that of a local business or ganization whose entire interests are tied up with that of the community and who naturally have a primary in terest in any undertaking for the benefit of a community: while in our case our interests, being national, we cannot consistently participate in enterprises which seek to build to..up one community as against another. This particular concern is benefitting greatly from Rose burg's growth and expansion. It pays not one red cent to help develop the community, aside from taxes on its property. Its representatives, if they belong to civic clubs, must pay (heir costs out of their own pockets. It does not spend a nickel lor advertising to invite patronage, mil maintains a j "public relations" bureau to supply newspapers with "news",j material, conferring upon the newspaper the "privilege" of I publishing such items free of charge. j On the other hand we have such organizations as Mont- I ginnery Ward. Safeway, Penney Company, Copco, Pacific ! Telephone and Telegraph company and numerous others, also ; operating nationally or over large areas, which take the op- ' posite theory and cooperate aggressively in civic develop ment. Along with the independent merchant, they are help-i ing give the community hitchhiker a free ride. We rejoice that the members of the Roseburg chamber of! commerce are at last recognizing the dignity of their or-i gnuizalion. We are glad that they take pride in member-; ship. Wo glory in their spunk as demonstrated when thoyj recently refused membership privileges to a company, which J bracketed in the $'2ii0 per year group, sought membership' for iflit) per year. i With that kind of spirit our chamber of coiiiiiutco will go, places regardless of hitchhikers. !

C., Sept. 8 - It is is obvous now that there will hr no fiirlhoi- hitcinecc Ivans. I acted by congress until after the Nov. 7 election. Immediately af ter election, however, active work in congress will be resumed in order to wind up the pending business for the year. Two im portant and necessary bills are yet to be enacted the rivers and harbors bill and the postwar : highway bill. In addition to these' I two, major pieces of legislation are a number of bills on which j I long and extensive hearings have oeen neia ana wmcn are now ready for consideration on -thel floor. These bills will be acted! upon in November also. Pending legislation not completed by thei end of this session automatically dies with the end of the 7tn con gress. All of the work done on such legislation during this year would have to be reviewed next ! year by newly organizied com mittees. It is far better to finish such jobs before adjournment. I am leaving this week for a short trip to the British isles. I iim hopeful of being able to make la trip into Fiance also. Although my visit to tne united Kingaom is an unofficial one in the sense that I am not a member of a formal committee making such a visit, I a nevertheless making the trip for the purpose of con versing with members of the British parliament in order to become more familiar with the operation of the British govern ment and to acquaint them with our procedure.

Such visits are regarded as beneficial to both governments simply because they tend to promote a better under standing between the two coun tries. These informal visits to Eng land by members of congress are in lieu ol a proposal discussea early this year to send a dele gation from the congress to visit parliament and to receive a dele gation from the parliament to visit the congress. Such a plan was considered too lormal ana unwieldly and apparently was abandoned for that reason. It would be a good thing if a similar exchange of visits could be made with Russia and with China for the reason that the more we understand our allies and the better understanding they have of us, the better possibility there is of perfecting a genuine lasting peace. This does not mean, of course, that we have to try to be like other peoples nor does it mean that we expect them to follow our example. Jt is simply good sense to have as much knowledge as possible about both our friends and our enemies. today. The sessions will begin ot 10: 30 a. m. Thursday and will con clude Friday afternoon. A special feature of the confer ence will be a public service to be held at 8 n. m. Thursday. This service will consist of hymns with the creed and prayers and three ten-minute addresses. The speak ers will be Bishop Jenkins, retir ed bishop of Nevada; the Rev. Lan sing E. Kempton of Trinity church, Portland, and the Rev. J. T. Lewis of Emmanuel church. Marsh field. The service will be of about an hour's duration, states Father Blaker, who invites all Interested to attend. DIALlpLOG By SUSAN.
