A ROAD TO ROSHIHJRG
One often hears the complaint that
the Southern Pacific railroad keeps
sections of Oregon bottled up and pre
vents its development.
This is undeniably true or lias been
in the past but time ban brought n re
lease from this dependence upon the
railroad. A high class automobile
road from Bandon to Kosehurg would
be much more cheaply built and easier
financed than the much talked of rail
road to Coos Bay. It would also be of
far more value to the country in slim
ulaliug its development.
California is taking the lead in road
building among the coast states and
is making it pay. From the railroad
at San Rafael in California there is
a rock road over the mountain range
to the little port of Bolinas on th
ocean. A steam driven auto stage
makes this trip daily without delay
or bother by rain of any severity or
duration. The trip can be made dur
ing the rain in this auto with as little
inconvenience as in a street car. The
ride is delightful even during the
rains and at all seasons of the year
pleasure seekers throng this Port of
Bolenas although its attractions in
the way of a beach and otherwise can
not be compared to ours.
The warring nations of Europe
could never feed and supply their ar
mies of millions which stretch over
hundreds of miles of battle front if
the automobile had not relieved them
of their dependence on steam rail
roads. The following from the- Oregonian
shows in a manner the efficiency de
veloped by the automobile in civic
transportation. It says:
"The jitney bus has cut co seriously
into the profits of the street railway
companies in San Diego, SanFrancis
co and Log Angeles that the compa
nies now have observers on the street
corners to count the jitneys and esti
mate pasengcrs.
Automobile dealers also have been
compiling figures of their own to set
beside upkeep cost, the e fleet on the
market for new and second hand cars
and general conditions of the new
business.
'If it gets much worse' said (Jen
eral Manager Black, of the United
Railroads, today, 'We shall have to go
out of business. Certainly it will pre
vent financing any extensions. It is
worse in Oakland.'
In Los Angeles whore these trans
portation ' locusts first appeared,
Black estimates they are slicing one
million a year from the Los Angeles
street railroads.
COLLECTIVE ACTION
According to Gov. West's last mes
sage nearly all irrigation projects
undertaken under the Carey act by
private capital have proved failures
or are only partly completed and un
able to finish. The Columbia South
urn Irrigation and the Tuinulo irriga
tion projects taken over, financed,
supervised and completed by the state
have proved successful. Ilu advjsed
that all lands should be withdrawn
from entry under the Carey act and
thu work be continued by the state.
In Gov. Withycombe's message lie
said:
There should be legislation permit
ting the establishment of hydro-electric
power districts uiul districts for
the reclamation of unimproved aivits.
such as btump and undrained lauds.
In the ci cation of such districts the
feneral proeeedure met in ingot ion
tlutricts should be followed. ThU
will lead, I believe to a ipeedmr de
velopment of the etato.

Necessity now drives individualis
tic man into co-operative measures in
such undertakings as irrigation
works as in more primitive times it
forced him to tribal law for protec
tion. Co-operation and regulated
monopoly are more the order of the
day than competition.
AID FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN
In tha governor's message he ad vis
ed the legislature Or. make provision
for crippled children of the state
This is probably the best measure
covered by the message both in econ
oniie value and in IniinanitRiiunimn.
Care should be taken of the unfort
unate children if it were solely a mat
ter of charity and expense, but it is in
fact an investment which will return
the state n huge profit. Crippled or
defective children must be taken care
of in some small manner and degree.
If only poorly done, they are a charge
on society, but if taken under the
care of specialists, learned in herid
,ly. nutrition, hygiene, pieventative
medicine-, dentistry, soeioloiry. edu
cational nrt, ethics mid applied psy
chology. they nre often developed
.lot only into self sii'itaining citizens,
out exceptional!) capable men who are
in asset to society instead of a liabil
ity.
If the state will take up the qua:.
tion of child wellfare systematically
much greater progress will be made
than if left to private initiative.
People have been more prone to es
UiblisU government bureaus to in
vestigate stock and vegetable breed
mg than they have in a campaign to
lecure better children.
To neglect defective children is oc
inomic waste. To provide training
.Hid care for them is a dividend earn
ing investment.
l'HE CAUSE OF THE GREAT
ITALIAN EARTIKU'AKE
University of Oregon, Eugene. Jan,
20 The earthquake that caused the
leaths of more than 30,000 persons
n Italy was perhaps due to the shift
ng or dropping of some rock fault
iroriling to Dr. Warren 1). Smith,
piofussor of geology at the Universi
.y of Oregon and member of the Se
aniographieni Society of America
Dr. Smith makes the reservation.
lowever that exact, details are not at
hand.
"Italian geologists have found
throughout Italy weak spots in the
ruth's crust. A line drawn through
these spots follows certain rock for
mation or structural linea. and the
greatest disturbances have occurred
at the intersections of some of these
tectonic line'.." says Dr. Smith.
It has lecently been demons! ated
that there is a measurable rock tide
nused by tho same a! tractive forces
that produce the ocean tides, and the
eason this tide is not detected by the
inked eye is that the crust of the
earth is incomparably more rigid than
I he .surface of the ocean, and the ut-
iimulatiou of btresses in the rocks
finally results in a giving way at
ome points, thp.se points naturallly
uemg the weak ones in the cm&t of
the earth. They lie along t he border
of the Oionn and usually in the por
tions of the earth geologically newest.
Italy w .situalod in one of these
newest portions of the earlh. as are
ilso California, the Philippines, (bo
west coast of South America, and oth-
countries.
In development of the rock tide the-
Jiy. the geologist Perritt says that
at certain times when gome of the
heavenly bodies get in a straight line
the pull becomes so great on the weal.
pots of the earth that movements
result along tho faults. The theory is
ow upheld by a great many geolo
;ists and at Potsdam, Germany, ge
ologists have actually measured the
rock tide."
That this is not the last earlhnuuke
Italy will have by any menus, is Dr.
Smith's belief.
The people in' certain parts of Italy
have been warutMl to move their cities
