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. !

WASHINGTON, D. 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.

gross have made visits of this
kind during this year. 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.
