That Census Estimate
There is great bally-hooing among the boomers of Eugene.
The federal census bureau has made public its 1925 estimate
of population for the cities of Oregon and given Eugene only
11,421 population, against 16,535 for Astoria and 19,709 for
Salem. And here Eugene has been claiming greater popula
tion than Salem!
Of course the bureau estimate is utterly worthless,
because it is made on the ratio of growth the decade before,
and local conditions are not taken into consideration. Being
worthless, why then is it made? Like most government
activities, it is to give some bureaucrat a job, even if it
consists in nothing more than winding red tape.
Since the last census, Astoria has suffered a disastrous
fire and Eugene has boomed on the strength of the Natron
cutoff, as it boomed a decade ago on the construction of the
Coos Bay line, and afterwards slumped. In the closing years
of the world war, Astoria boomed, on its port development
and shipyard industry and since then it has slumped.
One guess is as good as another and any guess is better
than the census bureau's. Meanwhile Salem continues to
slowly and steadily grow at a constantly" accelerated pace, j
perfectly content lo leave the booms to sister cities.
The building records tell the story of the growth of Oregon
cities, except in the case of Astoria which had to rebuild
after a disastrous fire. They show Medford, Portland and
Salem steadily increasing. For the first nine months of the
year, they are as follows :

lonely heart. They felt about each

thought Billy felt about her.
"I never could caro for anyone

"It's all over for me. But I'll be

She refused CaroUne's invitation
to play bridge after dinner, saying
that she had to pack. But Instead
of remaining in her cabin she

There would bo no one there at this
hour; a famous opera ainKer was
to give a program that evening,
and various other entertainments
were being offered for the passen
gors of the great liner. Besides, it
was raining, and ehe felt sure that
nobody else would caro to walk

It was like being at tho top of

ship, and nil tho life within It.
The wind seemed to blow through
her, to sweep away all the wretch

known since sho and Billy had de
cided to part.
After all, one had lo take llfo

That was what she told herself.

Destroying Home Rule
Secretary Hoover has issued a protest against tho sur
render of local government prerogatives to federal authority
as "threatening the fundamental freedom and independence
Al L I n i i ...
inui unit mise oniy irom local sen-government. The protest
was made against further extension of. powers for federal
regulation of public utilities, but it applies with equal force
to every branch of government, including the activities of
Mr. Hoover's department of commerce.
Thanks to the uplifters, reformers, welfare workers,
prohibitionists, meddlers and regulators generally, local self
government has been generally superceded by state and
federal bureaucracy. This has been stimulated by federal
aided projects, such as roads, schools, reclamation, etc.,
which establish federal control or jurisdiction, and thus
destroy state rights.
Since the civil war, the remedy for every evil and every
abuse under the sun has been the passage of a law to curb or
regulate it, requiring a bureau to administer, whoso main
business has been to extend authority. As a consequence
we have a plethora of laws and a multiplicity of bureaus.
Gradually and insidiously ,for half a century federal
powers have increased until we are Hearing the point of so
over-taxing our top-heavy bureaucracy that it fails to
function, and threatens a break-down. Tho example of tho
federal government has been copied by the states until local
iu.e mis inmost ceaseu to exist and state rights have com
pletely gone by the board. This is one of the chief reasons
for the increase in crime and-for the disrespect of law, which
after all rests on home rule instead of long distance control.
