MORE OREGON POPULATION.
The battle over the potential railroad wealth of south
ern .Oregon centered in the Klamath Falls di.stiict is on.
that, means much to the entire state, from a development
standpoint. It is natural for the Southern Pacific to want
to keep other roi ds out of this rich tenitoiy, and it is
equally.'.desirable for the people of Klamath and Ilend to
want the northern lines to extend southward, which they
propose to do. Added transportation facilities always bi in?1
added prosperity to the territory seiTcd and that is the
most important factor from a public view even though it
means decieased profits for the rr.ii lines. Testimony
heard in Portland by the commission indicate 'that oxto'i
Five industrial development will lie umlei'tuken by largi
lumber interests as soon as the northern outlet from K'am-l
nth falls is assured. And it is industrial activity that1
Oregon needs. More industries mean more consuming pop
ulation, which in turn will increase nearby markets I'm'
Oregon food products. Every possible giowth in this direc
tion should be encouraged. j
' MAKING LAW'S FOR OTIiKUS.
The legislative sponsor of the Michigan law requiring
the elapse of five days between the issuance of the mar
riage license and the wedding ceremony has c'oprel "acinsi
the border" where they issue the licen. e un. perform the
ceremony hII in the same hour. Returning, he announced
that he still believed "in ordinary circumstances a couple
Khould wait five days .after applying for a license before
being wedded, but ours was not an ordinary case."
In other words, the Michigan legislator means Hint
what is "good for the people" is not good for him and
that the lawmaker shon'd be immune from the lavs ho
enacts. There is not a couple in the who'c state of Michi
gan which if suddenly inspired with the desite to get mar
ried would not contend, as did Representative D.uin. that
theirs was not an ordinary case. And Representative Darin
and his bride arc not the first to evade this niau iage pi li
bation statute.
