This year's Stock Show not only surpassed all previous :
records for the number and quality of stock entered but the j
entertainment program was an improvement over former'
1 years.' 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.

wuvo in iiunr awut!j uit; cou!iu.y ami wouitin v we resolve,
al no matter what cost, to lake whatever steps were neces

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.
