Statistics show that Detroit has more murders per hundred thousand of population than tha Illinois city. And ten southern cities have twice as high a percentage as. either. Considering La Grande growth in the last five years and tho possibility -of continued development in the future, the need for ari' active planning commission is extremely appar ent. The efficient, business firm looks ahead and plans to ' accommodate future expansion. An efficient municipality should do the same thing, and although the city commission has served admirably in this respect for several years, La Grande needs a representative body to go further, to antici pate the time when storm sewers, parks, street improve ments, public building sites and other matters of civic inter est can and should best be presented. " An efficient planning commission can anticipate municipal funds for these purposes, can study city finances, can make varied recommendations ' that will be an influence for economy and for progress at the same time. , It could well afford to import a city planning expert or consultation. , Every possible step should be taken to see that the people of this city twenty years from now. do not bemoan the lack of vision, of the present generation, j A planning commission has been in existence for several years, but it has been inactive -has accomplished practically, nothing. An enthusiastic, active body would bo a real civic asset. I . ; i( ., r ,..,t ujAit: NO ROAD DOWN THE SNAKE The railroad down the Snake, river "from! Homestead to Lcwiston will not Imj built. No one familiar with the figures presented In the hearing thought it possible for Commissioner J. L, Rogers to make other than a negative recommendation to the. interstate commerce body,, .But the communities of Eastern Oregon who co-operated to arguo convincingly ainst the project can well .congratulate themselves on spending time and money to tha't end. It wasn't a fight to be won by indifference. '' . .. Mr. Rogers was an impartial examiner. He heard the evi dence and arguments from the standpoint of ono seeking to determine public interest and necessity. His attention to tho material presented by Lewiston and by Southern. Idaho interests in favor of the Snake river route was not preju diced. X Yet his decision is in strict keeping with the argu ments made by the railroad-company and these cities of Eastern Oregon who argued against the line. His opinions, as given in Sunday news dispatches, are interesting to evciy one jn,this section: .".The examiner finds it would cost twentv-five mil lions to build this read; it would be dangerous and ex pensive to maintain and its maintenance and operation I would entail heavy loss on the railroad company; so ! great, in his opinion as to justify a general advance in i the rates over the O.-W. R. & N. lines to offset the loss, and this ho thinks undesirable. Rogers, after exhaus tive hearings, reached the conclusion the commission is not justified in forcing a railroad to undertake the project at this time. Rogers' findings will later bo reviewed by the full commission after tho hearing. . "While admitting there is much merit in tho pro posal, and many reasons why this road would bn ad vantageous to the people of Idaho, Rogers holds the , project impracticable because of tho heavy losses it would impose on the O.-W. R. & N. He finds the com mission could not require the Union Pacific system to build this road, although it owns nearly all the stock 1 of the O.-W R. & N. It would theiefore be the latter that would have to absorb loss or raise its rates and this, he believed, would result in a general protest ftom all tho communities served by the road. Very little freight, ho finds, would originate in Snake river can- i yon, unless coper ore develop!. While there are in dications that ore may Imj there, existing companies a ong the inuto are not oieraling; furthermore, thev ! , all lie within 17 miles of Homestead and if thev are div ' termined to develop, Rogers suggests they build their own railroad north from Homestead. i "The volume of through traffic, In Rogers' opinion would not be great enough to make the load nay in' fact, would fall far short of paying." With such opinions presented by Mr. Kogeitt, there can be no doubt of tho final action of the interstate commerce commission. Tho project will Imj turned down and will rest securely and quietly in the dreams of Idaho enthusiasts for another quarter century. The time will come, probably, when a rail route down the Snake river will be realized. Rut it will come only in the distant future when tho population of tho Pacific Northwest has multiplied many times and when the transportation requirements are far grader than they ute now ouvill bo in the next generation.
