PAGE TWO The New OREGON STATESMAN, Salem,- Oregon, Thnrsday Morning. May 9, 1929 STATE TRAFFIC I REAL PROBLEi f Coming to Elsinore Friday Discussion Held at Olympia This Week; Washington Has Advantage Reciprocal relations concerning automobile bus and truck opera tion in Interstate traffic was dis cussed at a meeting of adminis trative officials of Oregon and Washington, at a meeting held at Olympia this week. The last legislature enacted a law permitting Washington trucks and busses to operate in Oregon within a 20 mile limit of its state borders without the necessity of purchasing an Oregon license. The same privilege was extended to Oregon operators by the Wash ington legislature. Washington truck and bus men were said to be more pleased with the new arrangement than are Oregon operators, because it per mits Washington concerns to tran sact a large volume of business in Portland, while Oregon licensed vehicles cannot reach many large Washington cities within the 20 mile zone. The principal objection to the law comes from Portland mer chants and distributors, known as commercial haulers, who make de liveries as far north as Centralia. and who will be required under the law to buy Washington li censes. Among those who attended the conference from Oregon were Hal E. Hoss, secretary of state; T. A. Raffety, head of the state traffic department; Ed Wienbaum of the Portland chamber of commerce; Frank Irvine, traffic chief for Pprtland. and Joe Dunne, .chair main of the legislative committee which worked out the details of the new law. Charles It. Maybury, director of license sof Washington, presided at the conference. Forty opera tors attended. 1 1 FS NO G IIP TO HJK Ml (Continued from Page 1.) concealing the fact that this Is only for the development stages, whereas many factories would spring up here under the Impetus of reasonable protective duties. Col. Bartram appeared before the committee in February, and knows what he is talking about. He found Chairman Hawley of the ways and means committee sympathetic with his contention but the undercur rent of opposition from powerful predatory interests was very strong and insistent. Another Salem authority be lieves that, even yet. an effort should be made to get a higher rate In the bill, on flax tows and line fibers, to the end that there may be more encouragement for establishing primary factories in - the Willamette valley. Thi3 latter authority says this would not be important, if we could get ample capital for spin ning and weaving plants, for while the duties on flax yarns and linen cloths of all kinds are not too high, they are high enough to give very fair protection to spinning and weaving plants. The contention of the latter authority being quoted is that if we had local spinning and wev insc plants with sufficient capacity end capital to work up all the tows and line fibers that might be offered here, the farmers prowing , the flax and the mills threshing, retting and scutching it. would not need much protection from foreign imports; that the freights on foreign shipments, and the higher quality of the Oregon tows and fibers, would give a large hare of the orotection needed. Chairman Hawley of the ways and means committee, and Sena tor McNary of the senate commit tee on agriculture, have succeeded in getting better protective rates for a long list of products of the Willamette valley, including not only cherries and walnuta and fil- berts. but also bulbs and seeds, and many other articles grown here. These accomplishments give promise of vast help In develop ing the agricultural resources of western Oregon. 1 W 5 i 1 mm U If I ' v f - 7 fK,h V M BElEEn GENERALS TOLD Inside Story of Events Just Before American Drive Gets First Airing Human Life Span Now 57.7 Years, Doctor Tells Clubf Health Means Money Gain Xancy Carroll and Cliarles "Baddy" Rogers In an all-talking, and pinging production, "Close Harmony," which Is the stellar attraction for the coming week-end at the Elsinore theatre here.

Within two weeks all his forces were driving through the Argonne toward Sedan and the armistice. Official Records Used In Chapter The momograph Is a chapter or the official narrative history of American militarv narticination In the w orid war, wnicn me war college specialists are preparing with access to allie dand german records as well as American. It is devoted exclusively to the ac count of Pershing's difficulties in carrying out President Wilson's instructions, given him before he sailed, to cooperate with allied ar mies as his judgment dictated but to keep always in mind "the un derlying idea" that his forces in France "are a separate and dis tinct component of the combined forces, the Identity of which must be preserved." Of the -idea for incorporation of American troops In allied armies as the quickest means of making their battle power effective, the war college historians say it was "advanced initially as a proposal, but became in the minds of the allies a necessity when Russia withdrew from the war and Ger many seriously threatened the successful outcome ot the conflict by a great drive on the western front." The economic value of health td a community was pointedly Il lustrated by Dr. Edward Lee Rni sell in an address made Tuesday before the Kiwanls club here, the doctor citing a wide variety of sta tistics gathered locally and throughout the nation proving that good health meant financial gain to a city. "A child's upbringing is esti mated to cost J7238 until he or she becomes IS years of age," said the doctor. "On this basis of computation, the future earnings of that young man will aggregate $41,000, of which his own main tenanca will cost an estimated amount of $13,000. That means that the residual earnings of the average man amount to $28,000 and his death or loss ot activity before his life span is ended means just that much economic waste to the community." Many Years Added to Life , In the la3t 25 years, 15 years has been added to the average life span, asserted the speaker who said the length of human life was now 57.7 years in contrast to an average life span of 29 years whicli prevailed in England at the time of Henry VIII. Contagious diseases and their spread has been 6o effectively de creased, said the doctor, that amaz ing reductions in human deaths have occurred throughout the United States. Fatal illness by tu berculosis has been cut in half since 1900. Had the rate of ty phoid deaths continued during the world war as In the Spanish Amer ican war, the death rate In American soldiers by this cause alone would have totalled 50,000 while 250,000 soldiers would have been 111 because of typhoid. Inants Death Fewer Turning to Marion county ex periences to show how health con ditions were improving locally, Dr. Russell declared that infant death rate which stood At 54.7 per thou sand in 1925 had been reduced in 1924 to 26 a thousand which alone constituted an estimated economic savings to the county of $167,700. In 1925 70 per cent of the milk use! in Marion county was ad judged unclean by official test while in 192S 80 per cent of the milk had been found to be exceed ingly pure and only 20 per cent partially dirty. Smallpox cases In 1925 totalled 923 in the county but by 19fS this mark had been cut to 19, Dr. Russell said. Life's Value Uncertain Realizing that no certain value could be put on life or heath or happiness, the speaker declared that it was nevertheless essential that the community take means to protect and conserve the life of its citizens. He urged that peo-j pie apply means of health protec-j tion once these have been deter mined. As a prelude for the day Miss Elizabeth Moore rang two well received numbers. She was ac companied by Mr. Winger. Walter Nelson made an interesting talk about the work of William Chad wick, manager of the Senator ho tel in line with a policy of the club which provides for infoTmal discussions from week to week of Us members and their activities.
