That sum is 33 per cent greaTfr - i 4l than "the value of j th product of 1 J the second largest fndustrythe re "ry V fining of petroium O'S'peP ent of ' .l which output, "is' used by automo- biles. The 'value of the automotive .. output is per cent greater than the iron and steel product and 4 ' .t more than twice tlie value of all .'" the cotton goods produced in the t textile mills ot the nauoiu . The automobile industry, in its i demands, affects sales In tha JbVsic n industries more than, any oth" ' , enterprise. The Imports ' to the ,t ? i United States of crfide rubber total v u 00,000,000 pfeunds a year ,x Of that : ".I,' amount 81 per cent'is. required for ' '. automobile tirea The rubber has .i",y'to' be carried in ships, it has to be . handled and. re-shlpped, manufae .".'lured and distributed. All that ' means mora business,- more Jobs and more profits, i 1 1 This year 68,000,000- square feet ; "-of plate glass wUl be produced. , One third of that! will be used in automobiles.- ' v ' j- Of the more than S.000,900,000 ' .gallons of gasoline produced, more .

There is no . "jH3d to prepare and present to the electorate a new charter. There Is no ned of special election tor the consideration of charter changes. The next municipal elec tion, ; two- years hence, will serre admirably ; as a public expression. In the : meantime the people of Portland can be familiarized with any proposed amendments or mod ification, ! Can .the charter reris ion committee, . by more meetings do more than t has done? If not, why hold- more meetings? . THE GREATEST BRIDGE A KEW" bridgre v is -'proposed tor AA.- "the Hudson rivers -which-, is described as the "most stupendous engineering- work yet undertaken. It is to cross the Hudson from -New Tofk t6 Weehawken, New Jersey;'" The structure, if. buUV will be a gTestev engineering- feat than the Panama canal, and will exceed in cost that expensive work. One span is to; he 2000 feet !ong-,without a stogie pier. It is to hang on four immense cables suspended from terminal towers 685 feet high, or 130. feet higher than the Washing ton monument. ' The bridge is to contain 450,000 tons of steel,' or more "than Is in pall th existing' ; bridges 'ver the 'Ohio, .Mississippi : and . Missouri jrfers -combined. C It is to contain more than ten times the tonnage of the mammoth Quebec bridge, the longest spaa in North America, and 30 times as 'much- steel ras in the Brooklyn bridge. . ? The cable towers -would" be 200 to 400 feel in diameter at the base. The cables on which the tremen dous span-would hang. are 13 feet in. diameter. Sixteen deep founda tions f 30 feet diameter would . ex tend $00 feet below 'the "surface of the earth. It will take 1 Shears to build the bridge. ; ( And what fs to eome-nexl?

JESSE WINBimK v TpHEY still talk about how., it all A:( happened last Tuesday.- ; Tbo' most frequently expressed opinion is that Mr.-Olcott's campaign. rnan agers ana . newspaper supporters did a great, deal to contribute to his defeat. Many old-line Repub licant are' known to hav been driven. to Mr. Pierce by the nasty fight made i on him. Things that used ' to win political hatUea' In 'mining camps and ow primitive frontiers are not the effective roeth ods of modern days. . .. . ,.,?.". :,',. - And nearly as many other- ra- wia atrw usagnea as tnere are peo ple discussing the subject. 'Bnt in the conversations .there is-one im portant reason that is rarely,- if ever, mentioned.. - - It ; was a bankrupt organization that was undertaking to bacxMr, Pierce when 'tha campaign opened. Mr. Pierce himself was "only a plain farmer and a land-poor tax-ridden farmer at. that. -In the- early days there wasn't2 enough- hope, of elec tion among': his supporters to en courage, them to invest savings in his chances. ; Financially speaking it was a dreary campaign- outlook. ' At this juncture one of the sev eral reasons lor tae fierce success came to pass. A f50JO;gift to the Pierce, candidacy was - announced from Ashland. Jesse Winburn, who had already; contributed $ Si 0 0- to the Olcott recount fund.' waa the donor. His change of mind -came as a re sult of a campaign address deliv ered by Mr, .Fierce at Ashland. It was .a discussion of the tax . issue, and the tax issue alone, that caused the switch from Governor Olcott to Mr. Pierce. '. ":- -' - - Few Oregonians had ever l?eard of Mr. Winburn. .XXis eotributlon was ridiculed by the opposition and attempt was made to raise it 'as a campaign issue. The news" went round that Winburn was to be ex posed. There were hints that some awful things in his past could be laid bare.' 1 ' But "as his detractors delved into his JVew. .. Yorkj career and .in to Jiis Jirief career JnOregon Jt was found that the less Jesse Winburn was as sailed the better it would be for the Olcott campaign. . Tha -.records "showed that Mr. Winburn began life in poverty oa a salary- of 32 a week; -that a keen brain, an indomitable, purpose and a genius 'in legitimate business ac tivity had enabled him to retire with a large property and big in come before 50..; It was also , dis closed that his activities' for human welfare, Jbia, ' benefactions, his war record, his secret '"philanthropies and other activities of high civic and I moral ; purpose raised - him above'' thelevel where it would be profitable to make. him a campaign issue. ,.-, .7;,'-' " I And - all tEls 1 Is I reminder j that Jesse '.

Do the bureaucrats think the pub lic is not entitled to news -of a' sea tragedy ? - Do J they think anxious friends -and relatives are not en titled to the earliest possible news of the fate ot- shipwrecked pas sengers ?
