Stanton Despite discouragements placed in the way of new business and industry in Oregon, I still believe we will see continuing industrial growth and expansion. Because it has been repeatedly stated in this column that conditions adverse to new business have been set up in Oregon, some readers might form the impression I expect a halt in growth. On the contrary, I anticipate Oregon's growth will continue, although probably at a slower rate than if more favorable environment were furnished. We will continue to grow, I believe, In those areas where opportunities exist because of superior resources. We have such resources here in Douglas County. We have a tremendous volume of raw material. Enterprises design ed to utilize materials now being wasted, or to create more profitable products from materials available, will continue to locate here, simply because the opportunity doesn't exist elsewhere in equal measure. We likewise have recreational resources so outstanding and abundant that they cry for development even under conditions otherwise adverse to business. My position is that, while we will see continued ex pansion, we could undoubtedly do so much more and go so much farther and faster if we had a more favorable busi ness and industrial environment. Poor Advertising Technique My objection pertains particularly to the continued portrayal of the State of Oregon as underprivileged, poverty stricken, decrepit, ailing and dependent. I am aware that my objections cross political bound aries and involve political philosophies, but it is my opinion that no political philosophy should embrace an inferiority complex insofar as the State of Oregon is concerned. To listen to the speeches or read the statements of Oregon's representation in Congress, one would form the impression that we have a poverty-stricken state and that we can exist only if given frequent and substantial hand outs from a benevolent and paternalistic federal govern ment. The nation's public is told that Oregon is unsuitable for new industry until such time as the federal government takes over development of our hydroelectric power. The general public is given the impression that Oregon can't handle its school problem without federal aid for construc tion and operation. It would appear that our population will be homeless unless the federal government comes through with a lot of money for public housing. We are told that Oregon's crying need is new industry and business We are told how hard our delegation is working to get cheap power, which means subsidized power, as a means of getting industry into Oregon. And all the time the dele gation is fighting development of power with private capital years ahead of any possible public project. Any person with a knowledge of advertising technique knows you are not apt to sell your real estate to prospective investors while perpetually crying the blues about existing conditions and future prospects. Too Much Politics Oregon's need for new business and industry is unques tioned. Furthermore, Oregon has the resources to support a vastly increased industrial economy. It will continue to see industrial activity in those fields where the opportunity is exceptional. It is not apt, however, to convince prospec tive investors that is has any superlative industrial climate. When a state is being put through the political wringer, as is the State of Oregon at present, a prospective investor will take a long look. He will observe the refusal of the state legislature to pass tax laws favorable to industry while set ting up a tax schedule designed to gather votes. He will observe increases in business anil corporation taxes, charges for bigger benefit, payments for unemployment insurance, and other increased costs piled on business profits. He will observe the trend toward placing all state governmental ac tivities under political control. These things will discourage much business and industry which could be brought to the stale if offered a more favorable environment. Yet, though we are sacrificing much economic oppor tunity on the altar of politics, Oregon still will continue its growth, I believe. However, I would be much happier if oun political leaders would exhibit some faith in Oregon, would show some pride and respect for the State they represent, instead of continually running it down. i 1" , - it feMtT?

'IW '' dream oi gaming sway NEW YORK W Bob Hope, the comedian's Croesus, be lieves he probably has told more jokes than any other man in history. He's been skipping them out past his ski-slope nose at the rate of better than 10,000 a year for the last quarter century. "1 figure I've told at least a quarter million jokes," he said, "and if you count repeat jokes. that is jokes told over and over to different audiences while on lour, the number would go into the mil doubt if anyone else has told more, he said, adding with a grin, "Who else has had the chance?" When you look over the field. the candidates are few. Can any secretaries at work building up his laugh library. "It must contain at least be tween three and four million jokes," he remarked. Many limes he has gone to his library to help out fellow enter tainers in desperate need for fresh material. "I'm glad to help them," said Bob, "particularly if they're doing a show for charity I believe in."

Further delays would mean chopping features from the center, the firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill said. The firm said the present con-1 the doctrine of federal power By FRANK JENKINS shouldn't lose sight of the fact that when eovornmcnt spends mil- designed to furnish a PARTIAL 1 nons or billions for power projects (Continued From Page One) supply of water to some 322,000 acres of land and in addition is ex pected to produce about 470 mil lion kilowatt hours of electricity. Let's look at the reclamation side of the picture first. If the total estimated cost of $159,000,000 were to be applied against the 322,000 acres to be served with water, the cost would be a shade under $500 per acre assuming that the final cost turned out to be no higher than the es timate. Note, please, that only a PARTIAL supply of water for the land is contemplated. That poses a rather interesting question: How would YOU feel about taking on say a quarter-section of this land with a cost of $500 an acre chalked up against it to be gin with for only a PARTIAL sup ply of water? Remember, you would be get ting only the bare land with fa cilites such as irrigation and drainage ditches for providing it with a partial supply of water. You would have to put up your own buildings. You would have to buy your own machinery and oth er incidentals. If you were an experienced op erator, I'm afraid you would feel that you were taking on quite a load. All this, of course, is based on the assumption that all the costs and all the benefits of the Frying-pan-Arkansas project would be applied to reclamation of the 322, 000 acres of land. That isn't true. Approximately half a million kilowatt hours of el ectric energy would be produced. Presumably income from the sale of this power would be ap plied to some extent to reduction of the cost of reclamation of the land. In that event, you should dram atize yourself as a taxpayer, for the $159,000,000 will be taken out of the taxpayers' pockets.

I The first three KC135 slratotankers to be placed in op erational service with the Stra tegic Air Command flew into this base Friday.

But we Only 20 Cases Polio Reported First Half PORTLAND iP Only 20 cases of polio were reported in Oregon in the first half of 1957, the state Board of Health reported Friday. This is nearly 50 per cent below the cases for a comparable period of 1956, and the fewest reported since the end of World War II. Dr. Harold M. Erickson, state health officer, said, however, the dangerous polio season is August and September. the money comes out of the tax payers pockels. Maybe it will be put back again someday. But for the pres ent money taken out of the taxpay er's pocket is no longer there for the taxpayer to spend. So far, this discussion has been purely academic. What ISN'T academic is the fact that this Fryingpan-Arkansas water will be taken from Ihe WEST side of the Continental Di vide for use on the EAST side of the Continental Divide. Every drop of it that is tunneled under the Rockies to run down the Arkan sas WON'T run down the Colorado. It WON'T be surplus water for everyone in the West knows there is NO SURPLUS water in the Colorado basin. EVERY DROP of the Colorado's water will be needed by the stales in the Colorado's basin. What that amounts to is taking water away from one region that has it and needs it and giving it to another region that doesn't have it but WANTS it. Here in Southern Oregon and Northern California, we are strongly oppos ed to that practice. 2 3 COOS BAY NORTH BEND $3.15 plus tax amines pJT " - e 'em -err f i en ill Baked by lanandorf "nUTRO LIFE BREAD'S smooth soft bulk action, like that of fresh fruit and vegetables, helps your family stay pleasantly regular.

Although he is known as one of the best ad libbers in the busi ness, Bob also is as methodical as a clock. He has perhaps the finest individual humor library of any one in tho show world. It runs to about 80 file cabinets.

The court's majority opinion sain me constitutional question at ready had been settled by a U S can drive anyone to the couch. "It gives a man the feeling he's in a rut. It takes a lot of work sometimes to get rid of that feel ing. I think the best answer is to change to try something differ ent." Hope feels he escaped the dan ger of rut-rust by starring in "Beau James," the life story of former Mayor Jimmy, Walker. "It was more of a straight dra matic role. One problem I had was that the mayor was a skinny guy. I had to lose 15 pounds. I did it on a diet of lamb chops, fruit salad and yogurt." Tension causes many casualties in show business as well as in every other industry, and Bob has his own recipe to avoid it. "There is very little tension when you're doing something you really know. What will really make you blow up is to try to do some thing for the first time at the last moment. The answer is to be pre paredand avoid emergencies." Hope is a multimillion dollar property himself and, like the good businessman he is, he takes care of his physical as well as financial assets.
