farthing? und one of them shall not fall on the ground without
your Father. 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.

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.

build up a remarkable reputation for engineering skill around
the house if he can change a faucet washer without calling

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. Lack

'Co to the ruins of 11 tie lent nml rifli eivili.iitions in As:a Minor,

It is hot Ihe story of 1111 bnndoued farm 011 11 j,'iant;e scale. Ie

Today it Is agreed on every bnud that our farm populalion is in dis

The progress nnd security of n nation depi-nd liir'tly upon the kind

the city springs is once impoverished, or Ihe people living upon it reduced to
penury, the city will vanish from Ihe map of Iho world. History records

The proposition that the govcrunionL should engine in

a few drugs, however, that are of ;

not to listen to your neighbors. The

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. And
il there is any one thing on which Americans pride them
selves it is opportunity for the individual one thing they
abhor is easy opportunity for graft in government.
