" The Oregon, Voter, commenting on suggestions for the ex
penditure ofjhe state's $25,000 advertising fund, says it
should all bo:; spent outside. Right. It is neither good
business nor good politics to spend part of it in Oregon
newspapers to "sell Oregon to Oregonians." Oregon news
papers want none of the money. Most of them are busy sell
ing Oregon to its present citizens day after day without direct
compensation. Most of them would be willing to donate
space for these advertisements to be published in outside
publications just for the good of the cause. The Observer
certainly would. In any event, every dollar in this fund
should go outside. Spent carefully, every dollar will return
many fold.
NO ONE ABLE TO
SUCCEED EDISON
So Says Wilbur Huston,
Western Youth Who won
National Competition.
WEST ORANGE. N. J., Auff. .'I,
(AP) Selected from anions the
youth of the nation as the protege
of Thomas A. Edison, 16-year-old
Wilbur li. Huston has no llluslona
he ever will be as great a man aa
the famous inventor.
Displaying great modesty after
announcement of his winning the
Edison scholarship, he said:
"I wish to correct the erroneous
Impression that anyone can be se
lected aa successor to Thomas A.
Edison. 1 am not foolish enough
to think I ever can be aa great as
he is."
The son of Bishop S. Arthur
Huston of the Episcopal diocese of
Olympia, Wash., made a mark of
92 in the searching Edison ques
tionnaire to which the 49 compet
ing youths werej subjected. He waa
the lust to finish.
Ho retained his modest and am
iable bearing In the fact of a bar
rage of qucations from newspaper
men. He has never been a Boy Scout,
or a member of the Y.M.C.A. he
told them. His hobby is collecting
specimens of marine biology. H
was on the fencing team of Lake
side school at Seattle, Ho has
never smoked. His favorite read
ing ia biography.
Ho was revealed by the ques
tionnaire as one who would sac
rifice comfort for success, but not
honor, health, happiness, love,
riches nor reputation.
He thinks a lie permissible "In
case of serious trouble, pain and
grief, and you do not benefit your
self in any way."
As to the future of the automo
bile he believes it wilt become
subordinate- to the airplane as a
in cans of transportation, to be
used only for short distances. He
predicted the electrification of
alrplan''H.
"Are you surprised that, you
won." he was asked.
"Very much so," was the reply.

A FARMER'S WIFE DISCUSSES PARKING
One of the best editorials to appear in The Observer in
many a moon ia published on the front nairo of today's issue.
It is written by the wife of a prominent farmer in the valley '
and hits the parking problem in La Grande squarely on the
head. We have discussed this same question on several,
occasions but,..iaiking spaces have, become fewer. Now!
conies this 'lettci' iutWi-rTrtr"nrobtem 'un to (?JrV-bfficfls"'i
the chamber of commerce and the community as a whole in
no uncertain terms.
; All business men want ample parking: space available at
nil times for shoppers from the valley and outside commun
ities. Shoppers want it, as this letter strongly implies. How
is it to be provided ?
Getting rid of the continuous parking of town cars in the
business district particularly those owned by business men
smd their employes can be accomplished in two ways. First,
by strict enforcement of the one-hour parking ordinance now
in existence but not enforced. And, second, by the circula
tion of a written pledge among business and professional
men and their employes to the effect that they will not park
cars on Adams avenue and Depot streets, for example, in
the business district, that they will use less important side
streets for all-day parking and co-operate fully in providing
parking; facilities for visitors from the valley and outside
communities.
Both of these remedies could well be undertaken at once.
The first will educate the stray motorist who wants free
storage on an important business street and will jog the
memory of the forgetful business man. The second will
mr.ke sufficient parking space quickly available and will make
nforcement of the hour limit easy. City authorities should
undertake the first, chamber of commerce officials the sec
end. With both in action such a letter as this from a farmer's
iie will be unnecessary in the future.
The writer of this letter is justified in her criticism of the
five minute parking limit in our present loadng zones. Five
nl iutes is long enough to load purchases made on a shop-
n.T tour but not long enough to make the purchases and
'o d them. An extension of time for the loading zones and
ao more careful consideration of no-parking or limited
leaking permits for Adams avenue might well be given con
sideration. An additional courtesy to out-of-town shoppers is shown in
some cities in the middle west by identification of outside
cars, the city oidinanco providing that these cars may be
paiked without regard to parking limits. This might be
undertaken in I.a Grande by issuing special stickers to car
owners residing outside of the city and identifying them as
exempt from parking restrictions (luring shopping visits in
the business district.
Ilogardless of what remedy is deemed best, the paiking
problem in La Grande needs action. It needs action now. It
will not solve itseh and we are confident tnal the people of
the city are ii.terested enough in correcting the evil to lend
hearty co-operation.
