I. C. C. ACTS
ON CENTRAL
OREGON PLEA
(Continued front Page One.)
... . A local professional man objects to planes flying; low over
La Grande's residential and business districts, pointing: out
the dangers of a crash following an engine stall. Legisla
tion to protect life and property from just such emergencies
is1 being enacted in many cities. An aviation ordinance here
would be most timely.
.One can imagine how much co-operation the new Senator
Grundy will be able to secure from colleagues of the "back
ward states" when he has a pet project to work on.. After
expressing his views of western states and their importance,
as a lobbyist, Mr. Grundy will be wise to restrict his asso
ciation to those of his own kind. . ..
Those aging adults who can remember the penny arcades
of the "good old days" and the first traveling motion picture
shows can be excused for marveling at our present mechanical
age if they attend the present show .at the Arcade. The
jerky, erude movies of twenty and twenty-five years ago
were marvelous then. Now We' see an extravagant" theatrical
production, with all the color, hear the music and voices in
perfect repio'd'uctiorl,4 find soon take it very much as a matter
of course. The "Gold Diggers of Broadway," poorly named,
is a beautiful production. Marvelous improvement in the
use of color film and in color register has been effected in
the last few months. And it is good entertainment,' too,
both in comedy and music. All in all, we can safely say for
the benefit of those who indulge in musical shows that it is
at least fifty times better than the road version of Rio Rita
that is being inflicted on the Northwest. And, speaking of
good shows and good comedy, the Will Rogers feature, "They
Had To -See Paris," coming the first of the week, should be
seen by crowded houses. It is a riot of good fun and Rogcr
ish philosophy. And thus endeth the free advertising for the
movie industry. Goodness knows there are so many rotten
and boresome shows that two productions as good as these
deserve a little special mention.

; ORDERING A NKW RAIL LINE
; . Tho Interstate Commerce Commission says that Oregon
; heeds a cross-state line and oidera the Union Pacific to build
: 180 milois of railroad and to spend nine million dollars to pro
vide it. Needless to say, the U. P. is not enthusiastic about
the project. They have opixiscd it strenuously and will carry
the commission's decision into the courts. Even if they lose
finally, it will probably lie two or three yours before the issue
is settled and a few more before the road is constructed.
Eventually, tho country to bo opened up will lencfit, and
therefore the whole state will progess. Now these seems to
be no great traffic volume or public needs to be relieved by
tho new line. The decision will, however, serve two distinct
purposes. It will eliminate the Snake Kivcr line from serious
consideration for a good many years, and it will definitely
decide whether or not the interstate commerce commission
really has the authority to force railroad construction against
the will of the carrier. That has never been done before and
one is inclined to question tho wisdom of such a law, if that
is the correct interpretation. If upheld, it means that govern
ing agencies have a stronger hold on business. In spite of
the possible returns from the investment, it means that the
government can tell a big corporation to spend iU money in
certain specific ways to provide certain specific public, bene
fits. Wisely, administered, the stockholders of the coropra
tion would receive fair consideration of their investment as
well as their obligation as public seivuits, l'.ut it is conceiv
able that a prejudiced commission might easily jeopardize
a stockholder's interest and thus remove the advantages Jf
thrifty operation and consistent enloifuist from private
business. Of course there are many who will nrgue that a
rauroan, iy me very nature or its business, is not private;
that public interest demands its control and direction bv
governing agencies. Perhaps true, but then there are num
erous other business activities in line for similar direction
for the same reason. And one thing is deserving constant
attention, regardless of each individual's opinion: Hail
transportation is vital to American' life and prosperity. It
would be unfortunate if we endangered the benefits of that
transportation by expecting and exacting too nVueh from
companies providing it.
