CLOUDBURST
IS CAUSE OF
FATAL WRECK
(Continued from Page 1)
Men who make it their business to worry with ways and
means of improving or changing present methods of govern
ment have drafted a new charter for Portland with the man-
ager-tI;tn featured. It. m-V -'iiot he wasted effort. Other
cities of metropolitan size have, adopted the plan with suc
cess. In Oregon there are numerous smaller cities operating
under the city manager with . greater economy than was
previously experienced. Hond recently approved such a
change and has made great strides already in better finances,
more satisfied citizenship. Klamath Falls people have talked
of such a change, find the system attractive, but haven't
yet had nerve enough to bring it to a vote.
Regardless of the differences, between Russia and China,
which appear to divide the blame for the present crisis, no
- one can contemplate a great war in Asia without horror.
Such a thing now seems probable. Although the nations
, are old, both governments are comparatively new. llandi-
, capped by inexperience and youth, they haye not learned the
m folly of war even as well as European nations.' And lack-:-
ing the stability and permanence of a national government,
both nations lack the ability and the inclination to trust any
form of international government. Important as the Chin
ese Eastern railway is to both Russia and China, it is not
important enough to cost the lives of thousands of soldiers.
With the memory of the world war still vivid, western na-1
tions would spend more energy and time finding a peaceful
settlement of the controversy. The new Soviet and the young
Chinese republic have forgotten. Or they think that national
destiny is still to be gained by force of arms. And it makes
one wonder if there has been any real progress the last de-1
1 cade toward world peace, y ''."'" - !
OPPOSITION TO TARIFF j
Passage of a new tariff by the sjecial session of congress;
is now regarded as dubious in responsible quarters. Since the
close vote in the senate on the .question of confining changes
to the agricultural schedules there has been an abrupt
change in sentiment which progressive business men are hail
ing as an indication that the absurd rates jammed through
the house will be either considerably moderated or dropped
altogether. . i .
A last effort is being made to argue that the increases
proposed on manufactured goods are only to compensate for
the advances put on raw materials from the farm, but in
the end it should be made evident that the agriculturist loses
more than he gains by such procedure even if the rates in
his favor actually are effective.
President Hoover's recent statement that he wants a
"sane and sensible" tariff schedule is accepted as a rebuke
for the house, for it has placed its stamp of approval on a
measure which by no stretch of the imagination can be
placed under that classification.
From the very beginning of this session of tariff making
there have been three highly important factors at work to
produce either a very lukewarm sympathy with increases or
vise a positive dislike of them. They are the fact that pros
perity has been general enough to yield very little reason
for boosting rates, and the known fact that overproduction
at home and not imports is the cause of distressing competi
tion. Also, the increased importance of export trade since we
have become mass producers and a lending nation. We can
not well afford to offend and estrange our customers in
Europe. They import far more than they eXort and Amor-1
icn needs neighbors like .that.

the tourist travel In this sec
tion was given this morning by
Mr. Hunter, who said that the.
tourist travel l greater this year
thun last, with most of the move,
ment west through l.a (Iraieie.
.Since the. first of this monih irn
tourists have registered here, and
only about 2 or 3 per cent of the
toiiristK register In li Grande, be
cause of its location.. Moht of 'the
registration ,1s done ut border
points, such a Ontario, efc.j This
would Indicate K.oao and more
tourists going through l.a G ramie
each month during the summer.
.Mr. Hunter, referring to the
problem' discusxed at I 'end let n,
wilil that another question is how
to entice more of the visitors at
the ' Yellowstone to come farther
west. He said that It is estimated
that !fP en cent of the tourists
who come west to Yellowstone,
park, return to the mbldlewest or
east afterwards without going in
to Idaho, Oregon and Washing
ton, j
Highways loosing Identity
Mr. Hunter also said it was
pointed out yesterday that high
ways, such as the Old Oregon
Trail uro losing1 their Identity to
some extent In the other sections
because of the fact that advertis
dng associations nre using federal
numbers for tho highways Instead
of the nnmes. f
Another interesting bit of infor
mation In reference to the tourist
problem Is that reports say that
the great majority of vacation
motorists plan their trips before
leaving home, and usmi lly main
tain their schedule,
Jn reference to reports of mis
leading stories, Mr. Hunter said
today that he regularly asks tour
ists who .register here whether
they have been misinformed its to
the Old Oregon Trail highway,
and finds, that they usually reply
that they have not hecn - a p
proached in tin attempt to InMu
e.nce them to avoid this highway.
