But the very hairs of your head are all num bered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29, 30, 31. Scientific Method Need in Government Perils to Democracy Pointed Out bv Noted Statesman in Address to Graduates of University of Oregon A trip that formerly took two hours can lie made in 20 minutes in the car. And you can spend two hours looking; for parking space. : It may be no one js a hero to his own valet, hut he can build up a remarkable reputation for engineering skill around the house if he can change a faucet washer without calling i; plumber. Anyone who reads Mrs. Willebrandt's articles on pi ohibi lion enforcement or lack of it concludes that more strict enforcement is possible, even easy if the administration will tackle the job seriously. And we think Hoover expects to do just that. The chances of Oregon having a second city of more than a hundred thousand population is discussed by Eugene and Buker papers. It is not a chance but a certainty in duo time. Iii future centuries there will probably be several cities of that size ii, Oregon. But the fortunate pnes will grow noto much because of imMmil 'jtwourc&pJ: tCltftiniT have in abundance but because of the will to grow within the communities themselves. Ten years ago Eugene had all the natural resources it possesses today anil was a town of ten thousand. Now it bus doubled in size mostly because Eugene began believing in herself. Thirty years ago I,a (Jrande boasted about 2500 people rather a village between the larger cities of Baker and Pendleton. Since then this community has quadrupled in size, has become the largest city in Eastern Oregon. Natural resources have played some part but natural aggressiveness has played more. That same aggressiveness can gradually result in putting ten times as many prosperous people on the farms of the Grande Konde ' valley and four limes as many people in I-a Grande.

Large profits are made at the public's expense power interests, bootleggers, transportation systems and other public utilities, which explains the agitation for public ownership, but there is no guarantee that the government could render these services with less cost to the user. While the post office department is ostensibly conducted with rea-: sellable efficiency, there are reasons to believe that private ownership might effect new economies to the advanjage of users of the mails and taxpayers. Private profits disturb public eipi'inimity, but extravagant and inefficient govern ment administration is even more annoying. Moreover, the piinciplo of self-government, which has made this country both l ic e am! great, is assailed by the proposal that the government shall engage in business, (lovernment business must be a monopoly; therefore no individual or cor poration can hope to compete with the government. Where ever the government eaters the individual must retire.
