TOW.NSEXD HIGHWAY
BILL SHOULD PASS
'What took place in Utah has hap
pened in nearly every corner of our
land. Our colleges and, universi
ties and other forces of education in
several of our most progressive
states are already setting up courses
of Instruction which will equip men
to occupy Important posts on the
frontiers of this development. AM
of lasting consequence, they will
commence to lay the foundation for
the progressive science of transpor
tation and communication."
Mr, W. D. Albright, Manager of
the R F. Goodrich Rubber Company,
at Seattle, who Is well acquainted
with conditions in this section of the
country, adds an Important sugges
tion: "The benefits to our section of
he country following upon the im
provement of highways and the ef
fective and economical utilization of
them by express and passenger cars,
places us on the threshold of a new
era of prosperity. And I am con
vinced that this and other State Leg
islatures, as well as our State and
County Highway Departments and
Commissions, were never In so for
tunate a position with regard to
having the support of a large por
tion of the intelligent and thought
ful tax payers of our state."
"A great deal of Information has
bow been made available thru the
Highways Transport Committee, of
the Council of National Defense, per
taining to the most effective utili
zation on highways. No man today
need vote or deliberate in Ignorance
of basic facts. Our own great state
colleges should, and undoubtedly
will do their part in collecting and
disseminating facts which will cre
ate an inexhaustahle supply of de
pendable data."
"Thus the peoplof this state are
well justified In depending upon
members of our State Legislatures
and others holding positions of trust,
to seek the true sources of infor
mation when In doubt and to know
what they're talking about in con
nection with this great develop
ment. And for these reasons the
. Townsend bill, which aims to create
National Highway system and a
Federal Highway Commission, to di
rect this gr-'at development should
receive the close and Insistent atten
tion of all the people Thus will be

enacted Into law ono of the most
powerful and constructive measures
that this generation will have the
opportunity to deal with."
The people of our land were never
able to deal as comprehensively
with the problem of highways de
velopment and highways transport
as today. For now, as a result of
war's challenge and the demands up
on all producers for their utmost en
deavor, wo know where people are
In greatest need of additional trans
portation facilities.' And from ex
perience gained before and during
this war, we have seen the manner
in which highways transportation
can be harnessed most effectively to
the service of our people.
"Take the great problem of rural
highways transportation," cites Mr.
W. O. Rutherford, Vice President of
the tt F. Goodrich Rubber Co., "and
consider a concrete and definite need
that presented Itself in the state of
Utah during the war. In the vi
cinity of Loa, Wayne county, back
75 miles from the railroad, several
carloads of fat hogs were available
for market, but there was no means
of shipping them to the nearest rail
point. The solution was found by
Improving the highway to carry mo
tor transport, the hogs were moved
rapidly to rail shipping, point and
an additional food supply thereby
made available. And the solution of
this problem had the effect of mov
ing the whole back country, a vast
area in Itself, up closer to the rail
roads and the markets of the world.
While the exodus of the hogs sym
bolized the' creation of new wealth
In Wayne county, the transport ser
vice was able to return from the
shipping point to Loa with the wares
of our great Industries, thus provld-
: fn? a larger market Hence High
ways Transport linked np the farm
with the deelred markets. It also
spelled opportunity to . the great
tody of loyal workers in America in
that it provided for a larger field to
be supplied by the indispensible
products of their hands."
As constructive measures tending
to increase industrial development
In the state. Oregon can do nothlnc
letter than pass the Roosevelt High
way measure and the State guaran
tee of Interest on drainage and Irri
gation project measure. Neither of
th -m ccstt the taxpayer anything.
West Gets Million Dollar Publicity Fund
The California publicity bill call
ing for an appropriation of $100,000
for each of the next two years has
been passed. A like sum is to be
provided by public bodies In the
state. The publicity bureau will bo
composed of nine members appoint
ed by the Governor, who will render
their services without compensation.
The hotels of the state have pledg
ed an additional $500,00, which
makes a total of nearly $1,000,000
to be used in advertising the attrac
tions of California In 1919 and 1920.
This year the state of Colorado
will appropriate $75,000 for adver
tising to be used thru its Bureau of
Immigration.
The states of Oregon and Wash
ington have each appropriated $50,-
000 and British Columbia $25,000
to be spent for the same purpose
thru the Pacific Northwest Tourist
Association.
Minnesota appropriates $100,000
this year, to be spent by the Ten
Thousand Lakes Association and
North Dakota and Wisconsin each
have similar bills before their legis
latures for advertising the state's re
sources.
This million dollar advertising
fund will draw people to the west
the next two years by the millions.
Hundreds of thousands of them will.
SITUATION OP FARM
LABOR LESS SEVERE
Improvement in the farm labor
situation this year over 1918 is re
ported by the Bureau of Crop Esti
mates, United States Department of
Agriculture, after Investigation in all
agricultural counties of the United
States. By improvement is meant
net increase of supply and conse
quently more labor for planting, cul
tivating, and harvesting in relation
to the work to be done. Wage rates
were not included in the investiga
tion,. I
Stated In percentage of a normai
labor supply as related to a normal
demand for labor, the actual supply
of 1918 was 72 per cent and of 1919
It is S3 per cent still inadequate
without greater than normal depen
dence on machinery and animal,
tractor, and motor power, and with
out more than usual latior by farm
ers and their families. However,
the Improvement over J918 is con
siderable, In both years the groups of States
that were and are provided with la
bor In relation of supply to demand,
lees than, or at the most equal to,
the average for the United States,

are the North Atlantic, the South
Atlantic, and the South Central.
Among these three groups of
States, the greatest Improvement is
in the North Atlantic, and the least
is in the South Atlantic, and these
extremes of high and low Improve
ment are not equaled by the North
Central and Western States, in each
of which the average improvement
Is almost the same as that of the
entire country'. The improvement Is
evenly distributed thruout all State
groups, except the North Atlantic
States, where the gain is twice as
great as in each of the other groups
of states.
Apart from tendency toward relief
from labor scarcity from 1918 to
1919, the situation this year is less
favorable on the Atlantic coast, from
New England to the South Atlantic
Sutes as a group, than in the States
west of the Appalachian Mountains
as groups, and in this long strip of
coast the situation is worse in the
South Atlantic group of States.

What are we going to do to attract
them to stop off here for a vacation?
Unless we do something they will go
by without ever knowing of our
charm. A tax levy of at least two
mills each year should be made by
the council covering this year . and
next,. Ashland cannot afford to lie
dormant when, there is so much ac
tivity all over, the west to attract
tourists. There has been some agi
tation for a tax levy and some of the
council have suggested a levy of half
a mill per year. In our Judgment
such a levy would be throw ing mon
ey away. It would raise only a
small fund upon which an advertis
ing department would be supported
without money enough to vitalize It.
We say levy two mills per year or
nothing. If we are going to die of
dry rot we had as well do It with the
half mill levy In our pocket rather
than spend It maintaining an adver
tising department that has no funds
to work with. Let's get in the game
with an adequate advertising fund.
If we do and It Is scientifically ex
pended Ashland can be tremendously
advanced In the next two years. The
campaign should be started now,
even tho the campaign should be fi
nanced by anticipating a promise of
the council to make the levy this
fall.
LITTLE GIRL HELPS
THE VICTORY LOAN'
The following poem was written
by a former little Ashland girl, 14
years of age. She Is the daughter of
Paymaster W. W. and Mrs. Ussher,
now living at the Bremerton Navy
Yard, and copies of this poe'ra were
sent to all the different departments
in the yard for the Victory sale:
Kclio's Victory Rond
Far away on an island,
Lived a wee Hawaiian maid,
She lived on the beach -by the deep
blue sea,
And she played 'neath the palm
trees' shade.
One day while she was playing,
She saw a ship far out at sea,
And from its mast, the Stars and
Stripes,
Were floating In the breeze.
i
The Smiling American "Jackles,"
When the ship sailed Into Keahou,
Told the crowds of native people.
Of the "AMERICAN , LIBERTY
LOAN."
Tho sailors told how the Homefolks,
Were working night and day,
And giving their money to Uncle
Sam,
Who needs it the very worst way.
Needs It to bring the soldiers home,
From the battle fields of France.
Needs it to keep up the Industries,
That made the Kaiser dance.
tt
Now little Keho was listening,
And she loved her Uncle Sam,
So she said. I'll buy a Vict'ry Bond.
I'm very sure I can.
Now Keno had some sugar cane,
All of her very own.
And when 'twas sold, tho money,
Was to buy her some pretty clothes
But since Dear Uncle Sammy
Needed all that he could get,
The money would be his.
And Keho wouldn't fret,.
So one day she gave her money,
' To a great big man In blue,
Keho then OWNED a Vict'ry Bond,
And "YOU" should own one, too.
