prehending the people handling I
these vehicles, by turning in either
the names or license numbers. It is
coming to a pretty pass when our
citizens must endanger life and limb
ou account of a few lumbering mo
tor trucks which take up all the
road, refuse to turn to one side and
pound along without lights to WHrn
of their approach.
Section 6 of the ordinance is print
ed herewith:
"Every motor vehicle, except mo
torcycle or bicycle, during the per
iod from one hour after sunset to
one hour before sunrise, while In
motion, shall display at least two
white lights in front and one red
light in the rear of the vehicle."

The Sunday Oregonian prints a
speech by Julius Meir, which we be
lieve sounds the keynote to the sit
uation. We reprint a few of his re
marks, to give our citiiens an idea
of what is being done in other places
in the way of interesting outsiders.
Let us bestir ourselves and double
our population.
"A national advertising campaign
is necessary if the people of the
country are to become acquainted
with Oregon, its physical features,
attractions as a tourist' objective for
Americans who travel and as a home
for those seeking new location where
the greatest opportunities exist
declares Julius L. Meir, who Is head
ing the expansion campaign of the
State Chamber of Commerce. I
"For a long time business men I
have felt as 1 do that we have a big
Job to do in selling Oregon to the
whole world, and the only vehicle is I
a campaign of national advertising, j
With this thought in mind I accepted j
the chairmanship of the executive ,
committee of the State Chamber of j
Commerce, an organization formed i
for the purpose of advertising the re- j
sources of our state. .

FLAGRANT DISREGARD
OF LATEST ORDINANCE
A number of complaints have been
heard in reference to the violation
of the late ordinance governing au
tomobiles in and around Prineville.
Several very narrow escapes from
Serious smash-ups have occurred on
account of trucks traveling the pub
lic highways at night without lights
of any kind to indicate their pres
ence, and were only discovered when
but a few rods in front of autos com
ing from the opposite direction. The
wirter had an , experience with two
of these violators of the law the
other evening while carefully nego
tiating the abrupt turns just above
the dam, and the only excuse for
his coming out of the affair with a
whole skin and an unharmed car
was that a special providence was
watching over him and steeling his
nerves.
It is high time that something be
done, and we hope that autoists
hereabouts will make it their busi
ness to assist the authorities in ap-
finance a three year national adver
tising campaign. San Diego has been
advertising her advantages in the na- j
tionai puDiicaiions ior aDoui a yean
and it is part of a three year pro
gramme. I am told that San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles are now con
sidering similar plans even moie
comprehensive than those of Seattle
and San Diego.
"The State Chamber of Commerce
is attempting at this time to carry
out an organization that in the main
has already been perfected, to raise
the necessary funds to carry out all!
of the above ana many other wortny
suggestions for the benefit of the
whole state.
"To the achievement of the goal
that has been set, the co-operation j
of the citizenship of the state is in
vited. It is a problem in which ev-1
ery property owner and every worker j
has an interest for in the larger tie- j
velopment all will share in the bene-1
fits. It is our hope that all will join j
in making the campaign successful." ;

What does Oregon need?
WhatIf It were possible to name
the chief factor does tl most need lu
order to develop with a maximum of
success?
The question Is Impossible to answer.
There Is no "chief factor." The solu
tion lies not In one particular need,
but many.
Oregon today, facing an era of de
velopment unparalleled In Its history,
must fill these needs If It expects to
go ahead.
Of the many factors that must be
employed If the state Is to progress
Immigration and colonisation stand
pre-eminent In order to solve the vital
problem of land settlement.
Irrigation, reclamation of land and
draiuage must be developed as another
method of bringing about the solution
of this problem. Farm labor must be
brought In. Honiet-eekers who in turn
become food producers, must be en
couraged and made to we the possi
bilities ;hal aait them In the great
northwest.
Good roads must be buflt. As the
vast tracts of wilderness with their
billions of feet of timber are concerted
iuto lumber, highways must be pro
vided over which commerce can be
cart ii d and the scenic beauties of the
State vlowed by the tourist.
Among other needs are Industrial ex
pansion, railroad extension and watr
power development.
Advertising and publicity must be
carried on if Orison Is to be made
known as a country for the honieseek
er where Opportunity beckons. Its
scenic beauties must be advertised to
attract the stream of golden dollars
from tourists and pleasure seekers.
Other states, most of them with fewer
advantages to attract, are realizing mil
lions each year from tourists because
they realize the value of advertising
and making public what advantages
they possess.
Oregon must develop Us' water
transportation, its mineral lakes, its
ports and reach out for foreign trade
and It must develop the state to pro
duce the exports which are to go down
to the Bea in ships. It must expand
its educational facilities as an addi
tional advantage to hold out to the
homeseeker with children to educate.
The Oregon State Chamber of Com
merce is the most logical agency to
carry cn this development work simply
because a state organization of tills
nature can work for the mutual good
of all communities in the Btate with
out favoring any particular one.

Main and Colorado each re
ceive $."0,000,000 per year from
their tourists; Florida gets $50,

lion a year. Oregon gets $5,000,

of what Main and Colorado get,

STATE CHAMBER SEEKS
TO DOUBLE POPULATION
ON FARMS JN 3 YEARS
Oregon has water resources to Ir
rigate 4,000,000 acres of land now un
productive, and which would support
In comfort, 200,000 new population, or
about 40,000 new families.
It in its three year's campaign to
put families on Oregon's vacant land,
he Oregon State Chamber of Com
merce can bring 1,000 families to util
ize this land and water, it will mean In
expenditures alone for such commodi
ties as clothing, food, furniture, etc.,
of' $1,000,000, calculating the expendi
tures for an entire family at only
$1000 per year. to say nothing of the
wealth produced by these new settlers.
Land settl'tment Is one of the chief
aims of the Gr'son State Chamber of
Commerce c ' " 'irw-ani in , Ub
ovement to aid In the development of
the State.
Oregon has 16,000,000 acres of till
able land now uncultivated.
Oregon produced 20,400,000 bushels
of wheat in 1919.
If Oregon's 16,000,000 acres of till
able but uncultivated land were planted
In wheat and the yield were the Ore
gon average for ten years 21.9 bushels
per acre new production would be
350,400,00 bushels which, at the price
today of $3 per bushel, would mean a
cash value of $1,051,200,000.
The Oregon State Chamber of Com
merce expects to double the number
of farmers in three years. If this
means double the wheat crop, lt will
mean an additional yield of 20,400.000
bushels of wheat, which at the pre
vailing price would mean a cash value
in juew money of $61,200,000.
