C1TV A Mi Ot VI' Y OFFICIAL WILL AUTOMOBILES WRECK OREGON? With considorahle solemnity the; Spokesman-Review reviews Oregon's terrific expenditure, ''or luitomohilos, argeeing that Washington state is equally as bad, in the following language: "The annual business of the automobile industry in Oregon is said to amount to $8,(i(i,00(. The figures are those of the secretary of the Automobile Dealers' Asso ciation of Oregon, ami they include the purchase, mainten ance and operation of motor ears in that state. Supple mental figures, prepared by the statisticians of t lie Oregon Voter place the aggregate of taxes paid by Oregon citizens t $71,000,000 a year. Thus, the same statistician con cludes, each family in Oregon pays $7")() a lyear IV auto mobiles and taxes, neither of which puts any nourishment in their system or any clothes on their backs, and he in quires: , ." 'Where do we get what we live on? Are we bor rowing ahead to finance our automobile outlay'? If so, how long can tvo island the drain I'resuinably we will get along as well as do the people of other stans, whose outlays for antos and taxes are probably about the same ill proportion, but the wonder is, where does all the money ccrne from to r:.y for taxes, autos, living expenses and a few nickels i;j tlx movitii and the savings 1 nks'f "Similar figures for AVasliington are lacking, but the Oregon statistics are good enough to study and to moral ize UDon. Of the $70 mentioned, somewhat more than! half is accounted for by automobiles. Most families fed that they have to have a car. Most of them arcs able to manage it. J-iy doing so they gain comfort and conven ience, but they do not increase production or make any new economic; contribution. As soon as a family owns an automobile its tax bill increases, for the motor car is a favorite source .of revenue. To keep a car the relatively poor family has to retrench on some other item of expense.

Le HEALTHFUL STATES. jKaiisns never lifts heen considered a headili resort yet, affording to life tallies wroked our. hy tlie Census Uureaii, the expectation of life in Kansas is greater than anywhere else in the Union. A hoy horn there may reasonably ex pect to live for 59.7:1, years, and' a girl (iO.S!) years. ' !It is curious, too, how the other slates ranking high in longevity are scattered around the country. Follow ing Kansas, they run in the following order: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Tennessee, Oregon, Washington, Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana, Virginia, and Mississippi. All sections are represented except t he Fast, and' climate Keems to he of less importance than some of the slates in the "climate helt" like to think. As for cities, heading the list comes Los Angeles, fol lowed hy Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, San I'Yansico, ami New York, with 'Pittsburg at the bottom of the. list with an expectat ion of onlv I l.Ki vears. Appar ently a city may determine its own health level and deatlu rate without much regard to the state or section of which it forms a part. These figures, it should be observed, are not necessar ily conclusive as regards the relative healthfulness of the states in question, California and some other states fam ous for their health-giving climate may argue plausibly, that they fail to shine in this list because so manv sick1 people from less salubrious .states come ami die there, while it does not occur to moribund invalids to go and die iu Kansas. There is at least enough force in that plea to ouu i an argument, - ( ' Now Charles Hall is confronted with a damage suit j l iny me ways m a man w ho runs A proud young father telegraphed' the news of his happiness to lils brother iu these words: "A hand some boy has come to my lloice :iud claims to b your mvihew.
