CENSUS FIGI RES DISAPPOINTING
The current census figures on -western Oregon cities
anddjjwns recenUy released has been disappointing to many;
a ¡miction made in these columns a week or so ago. Even
though Lane county has reached a population of 124,000. no
city or town within the county came up to the estimated
population aside from Springfield Cottage Grove did not
reach the estimated 4,500 people we thought we had, but
even so the city showed a gain over 30 per cent or there-
* abonts, which is better than the average commuhity in west-
“ ern Oregon. The city limit still covers a comparatively small
’ area and no attempt has been made to annex additional terri-
* tory such as is the case in many of the more rapidly growing
5 centers.
W6 will stick our neck out and venture another guess
* that could an accurate count be made of the people living just
* outside the city limit within a radius of two miles of the city
~ center, we would have nearly twice the 3,521, the unofficial
• cotint released recently.
WAGE EARNERS NOT DISTURBED
it
a
What does the average American wage earner think
; about the rash of anti-trust actions being tossed at leading
•• U. S. corporations? The Wage Earner Forum recently under-
? took a nation-wide poll on the subject. The results, released
< last week, demonstrated that the nation's workers are not
i nearly as disturbed about “big business and monopoly” as
■ the Justice Department is. For example, the Forum revealed
• that the informed members of the poll sided with A & P
• Food Stores by a 21>C-to-l vote in opposing the anti-trust
' lawyers’ current suit to break up the food chain. This \>te
was similar to the findings in 10 other national and sectional
- polls on the same subject. All of them reported that informed
* public opinion favored A&P over the anti-trust legal eagles
by margins which ranged from nearly 2 to 1 in the Gallup
*• poll last November to more than 4 to 1 in the Roper poll in
• March. The Forum sums up its survey with: “Few wage
earners are disturbed by big business as such.”
BIGGER BUTTER PATS
Bigger butter pats served by the restaurants and cafes
might be an aid to the dairymen when the federal tax on
t oleomargarine is taken off July 1. At least this has been the
suggestion advanced by several. The government has over
130,000,000 pounds of butter in storage and what happens
after the price of oleo is reduced is anybody’s guess. By giv-
‘ ing butter to schools for school lunches and selling a little
butter here and there the government has been able to dis-
pose of only six or seven million pounds of butter within the
last year.

some length in support of tlie Cor

The bill carries an amendment
providing that assessment work

of Mr. Sheble being buried alive
by a dynamite blast which oc
curred Friday, February 13, 1925,
at the Bandon hill near London
while at work with Harry Elfving
on the county road.
The blast which covered Sheble
with a foot of dirt and rock oc
curred as he and his companion
were tamping dirt in a 12 foot
hole around the dynamite. Dyna
mite placed in several other holes
failed to explode, otherwise other
workers might have been covered.
Incidentally the acci<ient oc
curred on Friday the 13th, but
Mr. Sheble declared he did not
know whether this was lucky or
unlucky.

Apparently the Administration
has abandoned the idea of at
tempting to pass the whole pack
age of socialized medicine legis
lation this year. It is still en
deavoring, however, to get some
portions of it passed piecemeal.
In this connection it might be
interesting to note that the Brit
ish Minister of Health recently re
ported that in its first full year of
operation, the cost to the British
treasury (U. S. money?) of Brit
ain's medical plan was $17.65 for
each man, woman and child—over
and above the regular payroll con
tributions. Just multiply that by
150 millions and you can figure for
yourself what it would cost here
if we were on the lower British
income basis.
