The Northwest, according to Dr.
ilorris, has been in a state of busi

Until the present, Oregon has
lived upon the export of its basic
raw materials its farm and for
est products and there products
have been exported with little or
no advance processing.

"From the standpoint of em

"this is certainly not productive

The solution of Oregon's prob

chilhood to business maturity is
being hampered. Dr. Morris said.
"by thinking too overwhelming in
terms of security.
"No people," he pointed out,
"can become prosperous if they
are unwilling to take chances.
The United States is drifting into
a security-complex. We must
strike a happy medium, between
wild venture and such a
for security that we are unwilling
to use our courage and initiative."
For Maturity
The state needs new industries
in order to reach business matur
ity. Dr. Morris stressed. It needs
initiative and courageous action,
and all this calls for some good,
hard thinking by the leading
businessmen.
The world situation presents
many dismal factors to offset the
optimistic outlook which one
might get from looking only at
the basic economic factors within
the United States, Dr. Morris said.
See Danger
The backlog of unsatisfied con
sumer demands plus purchasing
power forecasts a happy future
in economics, but "profound
dangers" in the world situation
threaten this picture.
Basic idea conflicts, if pursued,
lead to basic physical conflicts,
Dr. Morris said, and these con

Car Shortage Hits

LA GRANDE, Ore. (U.R) A
threat to wheat harvesting opera

loomed Thursday with an in

as Union Tacific railroad officials
rushed cars from all available
points to meet the heavy demand.
However, Fred E. Kiddle, Jr.,

Meanwhile, U.P. authorities

"It was never the intention to

Brewster told reporter. "Under

should take over these investiga
tions. We will be ready for that
in January In fact, our final
report is already half drawn."
To Individual
Previously, when land was sold,
it was understood to be conveyed
to the individual. Now, unless the
instrument states otherwise, land
and other property becomes com
munity property when purchased
by income. If exchanged for land
previously not held in community.
the land can probably remain out
side the community law, Milligan
said.
The law is based on Spanish co
lonial law brought into the United
States by territories formerly un
der Spanish rule. About one third
of the states base their property
laws on the Spanish, the rest on
English common law. Washington
and California both have commu
nity property laws.
Courts to Answer
Realty Board members asked
questions regarding the sale of I
land, inheritance, taxes and ex
changes of property. Milligan ob

The main point of his talk was
that realtors should make clear on
their conveyances just what the
intent of the parties is when land
