Near-accidents on the highway are experienced by every
one. One of the most glaring driving faults is passing
another car when a third machine from the opposite direction
ia too close. Oregon has a law covering that tendency. It
t provides that a driver shall not pass on a state highway

USKLESS ARMY POSTS
Twenty-three million dollars a year is appropriated for
the quarter-master general's department to keep up army
posts in this country, to repair and build barracks and other
things supposed to be necessary for a properly appointed
"fort." There are dozens of these posts throughout the
country, most of them established as the course of empire
took its westward way and the need for protection from
Indians was a good and legitimate reason for them.
Elimination of some of these army posts is one way Mr.
Hoover can cut down his army expenditures, according to
experts who have studied the situation. Kveryone knows of
several that could and should be wiped off the army maps
for economic reasons. Ft. Snclling in Minnesota is 'an
example. I't. D. A. Russell in Wyoming, Ft. Des Moines in
Iowa, Ft. Riley in Kansas. There seems to be no immediate
likelihood of war near any of those army posts. Probably
n regiment or battalion is stationed there to keep them in
existence, but that's all.
On both coasts there are numerous military posts, some
of them necessary in a comprehensive defense plan, some of
them not. Army units are maintained at Vancouver Bar
racks and at Camp Lewis in Washington. One could be done
away with and the country suffer no loss from a military
standpoint. Portland and Tacoma would lose some trade
from the soldiers now spending their pay in those cities,
perhaps, but it would not be a serious loss.
The chief difficulty with any scheme to eliminate army
posts is the protest of congressmen who want to keep a
finger in the military pie. Washington representatives and
senators would enter all kinds of protest against the aban
donment of the posts at Vancouver or Camp Lewis, we
imagine, and would probably be aided by Oregon congress
men when the Vancouver post was threatened. They want
to point with pride to the federal money being spent in their
home states, to take as much credit for that condition as
possible. We don't blame them but we can't help thinking
that twenty-three million is loo much to spend on army posts
each year. Save half that amount and the country would
be better off.

In Appreciation of
Thirty Years of
Patronage
N. K. West & Co. retires from business in La Grande after thirty
years of activity with a deep appreciation for the good will and liberal
patronage of the people of this territory.
Throughout those years we have found distinct pleasure in provid
ing this community a store of quality, a store where good merchandise,
good assortments and friendly, helpful service have laid the founda
tion for unquestioned leadership.
Thirty years is a long time and we relinquish our business con
tacts with hundreds of customerswith no slight feeling of regret.
We are thoroughly pleased, however, that the store we have built
through these three decades is passing into the hands of such com
petent and such experienced men as comprise the Falk Co.
They will, we are confident, provide a greater and better store
in the future. Their heritage of your good will and continued patron
age is an asset of the highest value. We extend to the Falk Co., our
sincere wishes for a long and successful service to this community.
