OUR WIDE STREETS AND OUR CARS , All the people in Oregon, could get into their motor cars this morning, if all of : them were so minded, and take a ride, and not be at all crowded . :" . ; . Because there is one car to four people in this state, with perhaps a few over to fill; the' seven-passenger cars. ". . , Jhe registrations in Oregon will this year show between 50,000 and 240,000 automobiles, and the population of this " ,k 6Ute is; not far if any above a million. 'uliu i Svery state .issues ''automobile licenses, and so the num ber is known to the last car. The official figures for last year '"iut'the tbtal at 20,051,176. That makes one car for every six i. persons, to be exact for every 5.8 persons.- So our entire pop ulation could get-into its automobiles at one time and take "ra rioe, provided it didn't try to go over the same highways, f as sometimes appears to be the case. New York has the most automobiles, 1,625,583, but Cali- ' fornia has the lowest ratio, with one car to every three Oregon's ratio makes average. Some busy days, on the down town streets of Salem, you lt!';jryill see twp lines of automobiles on each side, going in oppo 1! site directions and still there is room for parking. This : makes ufl appreciate" our wide streets; 100 feet wide in the "dowii town district. v ; ; , . , " The time'is coming when there will be four lines on each side and then. there will be no toom for parking in the style .that is now provided.; ; -' t The" automobile manufacturers are all set to turn out - 400,000 cars this year, if the public wants to buy that many, nd whether it does or not, and in spite of the machines that go toejuioklTeapr the traffic density is bound to be increas - ed somewhat in 1926.

Thus the time is at hand when the linen industry and the paper making industry here in the Salem district, and throughout western Oregon, -will go together; each adding to the enduring stability of the , other. Do you get the vision? v U,The s pioneers in the flax industry here builded wiser than they knew. They started something that will grow greater with the years, and will last as long as water runs and grass grows. The above was written partly to answer numerous in quiries. The attention of many people has been attracted to our flax and linen industries. It should be stated, in this connection, that very thorough book keeping methods are now being employed in the state flax industry, from the growing flax in the field to the finished product. The people will thus know just what farmers should get for their flax. They will know every detail of cost, up to the turning out of the finished product. They will be able to trace back to every acre of land that grows flax. These things, so important for general information and understanding, have heretofore been done in ways that gave very faulty information. There will be no secrets here after. This is public business, and the public will hereafter be furnished with all the details of tran sactions and operations. j Marion county is to have a bee inspector, and his ser vices will not cost the general taxpayers a cent. His pittance pay will come from the bee keepers, who will be very glad to make their contributions, for their own protection against bee diseases. . Marion county has been far too long in providing a bee inspector. She is several jumps behind Polk county in this respect, but she will catch up in good time. 2p EDGAR POE MORRIS SS? fouu The day that John Ingate was thirty his mother, watching the way he conducted himself in the company of the young women she had assembled at his birthday par ty, decided that he was "woman proof"; that he would never mar ry. He was coldly formal and courteous with them, and appar ently bored. They were all the young women of the . toVn she deemed sufficiently eligible to. be her daughter-in-law. The truth of the matter was that he was "fed up" on his moth er's and his sister's interference in his affairs, and indelibly asso ciated their ways with all of the women of his class. Mrs. Ungate has been disturbed by the spectacle, and yet not ill pleased. It was irregular for a man not to want to continue a family , tradition handed down to him by. his grandfather ana latner in turn;, that there must be a John Ingate trained and ready to step. into the presidency of John legate's Sons, Inc., when it was vacated by death. On the other hand she" disliked, the idea of liv in a lonely life, with both her children married. She bad re solved never to live with either, and have grandchildren under foot, and daughters-in-raw look ing upon her-aa an intruder. Naturally the news that John was seriously in love with this MacLurie girl WAaxUaturbing.

Their magnetisms weredifffeiit, and uncompromising- They would never be able to get along, it was plain. At the very moment when Jolin Ingate, in the privacy of his office, was proposing marriage to Eve MacLurie, his mother was weening upon her pillow in the stuffy old suite, in the ancient In gate mansion that she wouia never allow to be changed. ; Eve. facing her employer, could not blurt out what was upon her Una. Some power held-a finger upon her mouth. Is it because you don't love me?' John pressed. Impulsively she shook her head.

He was puzzled, dis trait. "I would believe it if you told me so, John," she replied with passionate earnestness. t . The response struck him silent for a moment. He wanted to be lieve her, but couldn't. "I'm afraid it is Clay you'loVe, Eve," he said huBkily. "You Just don't want to tell me. . . ."If you really loved me, you would not doubt it; you would be sure." He arose. "I- perhaps we'd bet ter V." She comprehended that he thought they ought to separate; that either he or she ought to leave the office. She also arose. Her legs trembled, she shivered; she sat down agairy . John Ingate made as if to go, then turned. "I think I under stand. Eve, you don't want to hart me. I understand. That's good of -you. Eve. I like you for it," His voice was huskier. "I think I'll go." He grabbed his hat and went out. ; Eve sat staring after him. He didn't, he wouldn't understand..

"If you wish. you may go home for the rest ot the day. . . .1 am sorry I lost con-4 trol'of myself." Eve eyed him wonderingly. She hadn't supposed he could be like this the man she loved. He waa apologizing, regretfully, for . hav ing told her he loved her, as It he realized now that he had made a mistake. She felt humiliated I think I will, Jtfr. Ingate," she said. "I'll have Miss Copley come in and flnisn tne dictation." She opened tne ooor. "Wait, Eve. . wait., . . .Please close the door." He repeated the order as she hesitated V "As a friend.

Now comes the Portland linseed oil works with something new in the war of seed flax, and we farm suckers will; nibble and bite;' if the North Dakotans and Minnesotans do tell us seed flax is hard on their land but sure it would not be hard on our Oregon soil. Then I would same my pa per "The Knocker." I would em ploy an editor like some of the Portland editors. Then I would feel sure that if he was as good a knocker as booster I would have one of the leading newspapers of America in. the next four years. Then I'd be like the editor of the Capital Journal a few weeks ago, in regard to the Sunday newspa per. Neither do I believe in so much tariff and boosting for the Oregon fibre flax grower. Then subscribe for "The Knocker" and save the farmers hundreds of thousands of dollars that the Sears Roebuck Agricultural com mission said we lost in four years, beginning in 1920, by not getting cost of production for our farm products. ' S. B. MILLS, Aumsville, Ore., March 30, 1926. Editor The Statesman: Dear Sir: I wonder whether you would care to broadcast an in quiry that I have received from Mr. Roger F. Williams, 501 Van1 Buren street, Syracuse, New York. He is seeking "data that would contribute facts towards" the life and labors of Rev. Nelson Rounds, who was "a very prominent Meth odist clergyman pastor, presiding elder, educator and editor." Mr. Rounds was president of Willam ette university in 1868 70. Williams wants records of Ms de scendants, and to be put in touch with any of them or other peo ple that might aid him. He would appreciate the loan of any papers, documents, etc. Sincerely Yours, F.

But te underlying principle had not been firmly established then-. The EagleBs reported was denied Inspection ot hoks, containing public facts. Rfportins to his chief, editions lipeared on the streets bearing that freedom-of-the-press slogan, f 'there is no such thing aa a prlrate-public docu ment." V Since tiat time, right of press Inspection' ;has seldom been denied. Next week Aehy Oody will die in the state penitentiary for the slaying of a sheriff. Witnesses are restricted. Newspapermen, duly credited, are egected to attend. Not for the lovf of seeing a man die upon the gdlows, but because the public, by v.pose will the death penalty is exacted, has a right to know the manner in which its will is carried out by prison officials. Wholesale admittance of the public is impossible. Your repre sentatives, newsmen, replace you in the death chamber. So in the courts, the public representative, the press, remains the quiet spec tator of the dramas people write with their lives. This workable theory, guaranteeing admittance of the public's representative, was sustained when the Oregon su preme eonrt wrote: "The .Oregon -statutes specifical ly declares that all officers having the custody. -of any. state or county records to this state shall furnish reasonable opportunity for the in spection and examination thereof to all persons having occasion to make examination of them for any lawful purpose. "Obviously, the term 'all offi cers includes tne cierK or ue schutes county, and the term 'all persona' embraee the petitioner, and the purpose of the petitioner is lawful." The opinion was written by Jus tice George M. Brown, with Jus tices iiean ana aen ana umei jus tice McBride concurring.
