More amusement and more attention to stock, the' real purpose of the show, and less thrills and danger follow ing elimination of the bucking contests. Nowhere else on the COiiijt outside of stale fairs and the Pacific International can there be found as impressive a collection of livestock. And the benefit to this great industry of Eastern Oregon is found , in n keener, more active interest in profitable stock raising. The (Incision of Sir Esme Howard, llritish ambassador, that no liquor is to bo brought into the embassy under diplo matic privilege in the future will give a lot of people in Washington something to think about. If the official repre sentative of Great Britain can show respect 'for American prohibition laws, though they do not affect the embassy, it may occur to some senators and representatives and other government officials that they could do likewise. Uncon sciously, perhaps, Sir Esme has made it less popular for much of official Washington to vote dry and drink wet.

Undoubtedly. Yet, in the year 1928, a tragedy of similar size visited the country and we ignored it! It was a thing that killed more than 27,000 people of all ages and caused an economic loss of $000,000,000 and we didn't pay any attention to it! As a result, it will inevitably be duplicated , this year. What was that tragedy ? II "was a long, connected string of tragedies the automobile traffic fatality list. It began in January and did not end till the year ended, and it claimed its victims in almost every county in tho Union. It killed up ward of 27,000 people and injured nearly a million more. Because it was before our eyes every day we weren't t :,... .1 i ,t .. .... iimiii:c(i ny u. tiocause me (teams and injuries were scat tered all over the country and all the length of the year, we didn't realize its honor. Consequently, we didn't do any thing in particular to prevent a repetition and, as a result, tho toll this year will be even higher thaiil was in 1928. The automobiles themselves are far safer now than they were ten years ago. They can be stopped quicker, they are less liable to skid, they are .sturdier and they do nut upset so cattily. Tlie manufacturers have done their part. But because we don't realize the seriousness of the prob lem, we don't do ours. We need comprehensive, drastic legis lation to regulate traffic and weed out the unfit drivers. We need to expand our highway system enormously and it will cost real money to do it. 'e need to make the traffic prob lem one of our major issues, and keep it that way until it is solved. Otherwise the death list will go far above 27,000, and in no long lime.
