REJECT BID OF $101,377 ON HIGHWAY Morning newspapers in smaller cities are giving way to the time-Bivving advantages of evening editions. The Eugene Register for many years, the outstanding morning news paper ori the Pacific'coast outside of metropolitan cities, has changed to the afternoon field. Faster wire service, faster presses, faster transportation and tiie fact that the Pacific coast is three hours later in timio than news centers of the east' were given as reasons for the change. It is significant of newspaper tendencies. The Register has long been one of the .best papers in the Northwest. Its publisher, Frank j Jenkins, is recognized as one of the most capable newspaper i executives in this part of the country. That The Register has. changed from a morning to an afternoon paper means I only one thing: The afternoon paper is better able to serve readers ana advertisers alike. In liugene it means (Continua tion of The Register's policy of a constantly'improvttl paper,1 improved service. ' HANK BOOKS America leads the world in many things, but of them; all j it derives the greatest satisfaction from its leadership in .number 'of bank accounts. There are more bank books and more bank books per capita of population in the United States than in any other country. Even in this presidential year, which by tradition is supposed to be an off-year econ omically, bank deposits are growing at an amazing rate. There is deposited in the banks of the United States $3,000 for every family. And this does not begin to indicate the; volume of private savings, In no other country are there so wide a distribution of shares in business enterprises, so many small holdings of bonds, so many people who, as owners of capital, have a stake in the prosperity of business and in the welfare of the country. Moreover, millions are saved each year in jhfe insurance. Why? Continued prosperity. A living wage for all who will work. Public faith in the integrity and safety of bank ing institutions and business enterprises. And deep-sealed American thrift, which persists though living standards rise and installment plans multiply. Under such conditions radical social and political move ments find this barren soil. , Tho man or woman with a bank account, life insurance and a block of stock or bond or two has no appetite for political or social experimentation. Neither has he or she a taste for a political party supporting an issue holding some threat for the nations prosperity.
