LErS HAVE FUN
By Charles V. Stanton
In today' issue of The Newt-Review you will find
invitations to a gala affair. Roseburjr's merchants join
in urging the public to attend their huge Fall Opening
Thursday night, and in the three sections of today's
paper they bring you personal greetings, invitations and
suggestions.
Roseburg's annual Spring and Fall Openings have
become widely known. They draw huge crowds regard
less of weather. Tomorrow night's event will be the
largest ever held and will offer the most in entertain
ment Coupled with the usual simultaneous unveiling of
show windows, Treasure Hunt, with hundreds of dollars
worth of prizes, and the display of merchandise, will
be "live" shows, music, Vaudeville and dancing. These
events are staged as a contribution by the city's mer
chants for the entertainment of the public.
Naturally, the motive is not altogether altruistic.
The Fall Opening probably would not be an annual
event if it did not have a stimulating effect on business.
But here is an opportunity to combine business with
pleasure. The Fall Opening entertainment is furnished
to the buyer and non-buyer alike, with the hope that
the merchandise placed on display will impel more
trade. And it should!
We"ll wager that when milady sees the new Fall
merchandise, particularly the stunning new styles, home
furnishings, appliances, jewelry, accessories, automobiles,
etc., money will be spent for something that will bring
happiness, if the money is at all available.
.But with or without money with or without trade
Intentions everyone is invited by Roseburg merchants to
share in the fun tomorrow night.
CAR SHORTAGE CRITICAL
The freight car shortage grows more critical daily.
Nearly all mills have been forced to reduce their out
put at a time when they could be running at full
capacity. Thousands of dollars in potential payroll "are
being lost because of inadequate transportation facilities.
In this connection it is interesting to surmise on the
recent decision favoring the Martin Box company in its
suit against the Southern Pacific company. The Inter
state Commerce commission supported the box com
pany's contention that the railroad company had been
discriminatory in its distribution of cars. It held that
the Oakland concern is entitled to damages. The Mar
tin Box company, according to the findings, received
only BO percent of its freight car needs while other
shippers were furnished 80 percent of the cars desired
for loading.
Lumber manufacturers charge that discrimination
still exists toward the Umpqua area; that a higher per
centage of cars are furnished for loading in the Will
amette valley and in California than provided here. If
such' condition DOES exist it might be possible that the
Southern (Friendly) Pacific will have something more
tangible than cuss words to answer.
The car shortage, of course, is nationwide. Ws can
accuse the "Friendly" Southern Pacific company of
waiting too long to start buying new cars, but, because
freight cars can't be built overnight, it is of little
avail to attack the company for past performance.
Presently, we want our fair share of freight cars.
We want cooperation from the "Friendly" Southern
Pacific in keeping our industry operating at its highest
potential. We want no discrimination, such as has been
definitely proven in the past.

MAKINO POLITICAL HAY OF
CAR SHORTAGI
Oranti Past Courier
It probably is no great present
aolace to lumbermen and othen
dogged by lack of freight-car al
lotment! to hear that the Southern
Pacific railway has decided to bur
5,000 additional freight can and 46
more electric motors.
Delivery of the new can cannot
begin until early next year. That
won l help the shortage of the cur
rent aea son.
In the meantime, the shortage Is
becoming a political football.
Recently, in Jackson county, Aus
tin Flegel, Democratic candidate
for governor, declared thai, it el
ected, he would "bring luit" to
foice the company to furnish carl
in equal proportion in Doth com
petitive and non-competitive areas.
Such chatter certainly shouldn't
lose Flegel any votes in this hard
nil area.
To keep the record straight, how
ever, we should like to call atten
tion to the fact, that, before one
"brings luit," it is essential that
the necessary evidence be pre
pared. At present, that li exactly what
ii being done. A committee of ship
pers has been meeting periodically
and has been working out a prog
ram designed to solve the proh
lem.
First and foremost, the crying
need is an accurate record of the
ran being allotted by the Southern
Pacific.
Under the aystem to date,
wherein shippers telephone the lo
cal railway agent their requests,
there is no verified permanent re
cord of orders placed.
The shippers' committee h a
asked that all firms ordering cars
by telephone confirm luch orders
in writing. Then, when (he public
utilities commission attempts to
check the company's freight-car
records, it can he determined ex
actly how fairly allocations of
available cars are being made.
Mr Flegel nor no one else can
furnish cars which are not avail
able All that can be done is to
determine that the cars the South
ern Pacific has are distributed
equitably.
The public utilities commission
is presently engaged in that task
without Mr. Flegel in the govern
or's chair.
For instance, here is the state
ment of the West Coast Lumber
men's association;
"Nutting (B. L. Nutting of Med
ford, chairman of the association's
special committee on car supplv)
praised the puhlir utilities commis
sioner of Oregon, Gcoxge Flc,gj
for his cooperation wittl the lum
ber industry to insure an equitable
distribution to every ntijl in the
