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

or reconstruction or re-location.

(Continued from Page One)
The decision of the conference committee to put shoes on
the duty list sounds like an increased price in this necessary
conunodity. 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.
