THE NEW NURSE When oiled macadam roads are good, they are just about perfect for driving. There's only one good argument in favor of paving when one considers its greater e.eiise: It doesn't ' have to be torn up every two or three yeai's for maintenance or reconstruction or re-location. v According to a report yesterday to the chamber of com merce two bloaks of residences have been skipped in the census.

But there is something more than protective tac tics in a tariff on shoes. Unemployment in eastern industrial centers also has a bearing. Foreign competition in the shoe market is getting serious. One factory in Czecho Slovakia, for example-, is producing 40,000 pairs of shoes a day with a low labor cost that amounts to si dollar or more per pair less than American-made shoes. With cheaD water transporta tion this Balkan product becomes a serious competitor and has been a prominent factor in putting American workers in the unemployment rak .. Jj. v JOSEPH TALKS, ON POWER RESOURCES . George ' Joseph is circularizing the republican voters f tho state with a speech delivered over the radio on the sub ject of water power resources. He effectively points out the importance of this asset to Oregon but predicts added taxable wealth and increased payrolls without a backing of facts. Tacoma and the low municipal rates offered in that city receives much of his attention but he fails to note that Tacoma lost population between 1910' and 1920 in spite of the possession of this argument to new industries, that a very small increase in population has licen estimated for the last decade in spite of the establishment of some new indus tries in the Washington city. New industries for Oregon would, it is true, provide a most valuable market for Oregon farm products but he omits saying these new industries will find a profitable mar ket for their products in a sparsely settled Northwest. And an industrial iiiarket must be available before payrolls can be established Industrial development will come. It is already coming slowly and the public ownership of Columbia River power projects will gradually be realized through federal aid. There is no chalice of its being controlled by privately owned utilities companies, as Mv. Joseph seenls to fear. And not all the in dustrial growth to le desired is assured by cheap power. One Washington city has cheap power, yet Seattle is out stripping its former rival, Tacoma, in growth and in industrial production. California has power rates that are no lower than those of Oregon frequently higher yet its industrial development is far ahead of either Washington or Oregon. The whole subject of power development and public own ership of that great resource furnishes a happy issue for the cicver politician who would catch the public enthusiasm, but it has small practical significance for the average citizen. He is much nxre keenly interested in profitable agricultural de elopment that will put more prosperous people on the farms, not more people in the cities. He. believes in a safe and sane administration of public affairs as the lxst means of reducing the lax burden rather than the doubtful scheme of attracting new taxable wealth. He has seen industries grow for two decades in Oregon and the tax burden has grown along with them, lie knows now that there is no single cure-all. He has had experience with political platforms and political promises before. The voting citizen of Oregon can no longer be induced to follow an economical will-o'-the-wisp.
