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.

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,
