HIGHWAY AS "TRUCKING LANE"
The following letter, which appeared on the editorial page
of the Portland . Oregonian, indicates the trend of public
thought toward misuse of the highways:.
PORTLAND, Ore.,. May 3 (To the Editor) The preservation
and beautlflcatlon of the Columbia River highway has been
discussed latoly to some extent In your paper, but It would seem
to this writer that It does not go far enough. ..
For instance, In your Issue of April 30 Mr. Lancaster says
unsightly telephone poles and air beacons are to be tabooed,
while In a recent Issue Mr. Benson of Hollywood called atten
tion to the fact that the highway was never Intended for a
i "trucking lane." .-- - .
, . . -I wondor If It has ever occurred to Interested citizens that ...
. the Columbia Hlvcr highway Is virtually a "trucking lane"
i . In every aesnn of the word. 1 Years ago It was Indeed a pleasure ,
to drive over It, but now It Is a caso of look out for cumber
. some trucks with trailers that sway from side to side. And at
Cascade Locks, located right in the midst of tho beauties of "
the Columbia gorge, an ugly eight-foot board fenco has been
erected running parallel to the highway for a distance of about
. . 1 C00 feet and as close to the highway as the law allows. Moat .,
. of the fox farms In Oregon are sot back a reasonable dlstnnco '.'
from the highways and oro painted and kept attractive, but , ..
. - this particular ono slnmlB out like a sore thumb.
; , The newly organized Greater Columbia River Highway asso-.
: elation will gradually bring public sentiment to the point of
! realization' that our highway needs serious thought.
, ' ... ' ; ,. TAXPAYER.
CANADIAN BUDGET CUT
National, state and municipal budgets have increased so
consi3tently since the war that both public officials and the
taxpayers have come to believe therm irreducible. ; The
Dominion of Canada is now demonstrating the fallacy of such
a conclusion. :, , .
By drastic pruning Prime Minister Bennett's government
has cut $37,000,000 off the budget for tho next fiscal year.
That represents a reduction in government expenditure of
nearly 10 per cent. '
This was accomplished by slashing the appropriations
of 33 government departments and bureaus. The national
defense and aviation budgets were pared. , Excessive pay'
rolls were corrected and no expensive automobiles will ,b.c
purchased or maintained for the transportation of public
officials.
Hero is practical and direct relief for several millions o'f
taxpayers. Moreover, it will provide an effective stimulant
for business recovery. The heavier the tax burden business
and the people must carry the slower the return to normal
production and purchasing power.
The Bennett government has done the popular thing.
Also it has set a good example for other countries and other
governments. Even though it is a case of necessity being tile
mother of invention, the necessity is as apparent in the
United States as in the neighbor to the north.
Canada's achievements in economy are likely to make the
American people still more resentful toward the spendthrift
seventy-first congress.
