There is already oppo sition to It. It now seems likely that the op position is letter founded than the adherents. In both cases at least o,ne car was traveling very fast, far too fast, so fast that the driver would have been guilty un der any conceivable speed law. A law cannot stop such contact for a law does not ¡»revent a crime, merely makes certain actions pun ishable in the hope that the pun ishment will deter the crime. Oregon’s law about speed Is pretty good, as good as that of most states. Washington holds driving speeds to 50 miles where possible and it has many accidents just the same. In the far reaches of eastern Oregon it is almost cer tain that drivers are going to go 60 to 70 miles an hour and that few of them are going to be caught. It is a long ways l»etween towns and roads are good and the drivers impatient. Speed in itself may not cause many Occidents but it certainly does make accidents more deadly. The drivers who get up to 75 and 00 miles are reckless «¡»ersons at l»est and those we always have with us. Travel in congested areas Is not too fast now, except In times of bad weather conditions and most drivers slow down for towns, school crossings and marked curves. Speed on the straight aways is expected in every state and might as well l»e accepted. In Canada the driving Is slow er and that is because Canadians do not get In a hurry about any thing. It Is doubtul If any law could make Oregonians calm enough to abide by a 50 mile an hour speed limit. If a new law was not observed It would do nothing but fill the j»oll e courts. It would not prevent highway deaths such as the two big accidents did re cently. * It is possible that the accidents themselves will be as good a deter rent as we could have. OLD F A SH IO N E D An Oregon Journal editor has been upset in his moral codes by stories and pictures of women wrestling bouts at Oregon City, lie calls upon th«’ legislature to stop this unholy business of Inad vertently feminine mayhem. It must he something of a shock to the venerable writer of opinion that the dainty und falnty female of his youth should in dulge In violence right In front of the public. He will realize, of course that womens’ activities have been less Inhibited in private than in public and that exertion is not beyond them. Women have wrestled with many things: the washtub, onlv recently a*20 pound turkey, a half dozen squabbling brats of all ages and have come out with honors. In late years women have refus ed to keep their physical abilities hidden. They play games: they swim (and perhaps the only rea son they didn’t swim years ago was the suits custom made them wear); they weld and they wait and take part In many pursuits requiring physical strength and ability. They accept the kindly protection of men without admit ting that they need It. If women want to wrestle for pay and for the public th ey are going to wrestle and for the same reason that If they want to cut off their hair that their “crown Ing glory" they ore going to and If they want to wear pants they are going to. And the men are going to wind up liking It because there Isn’t anything else they can do. for the legislature passing a law (that aged solution of the le galistic) it doesn’t make any dif ference. If the women can't wres- A superior »«rvIce • f personal attendance THAT COSTS NO MORE tie In Oregon City they will wrestle, in Reno or will wrestle In secret r u s hes like prize fight ers did a gmeratlon ago. Women are as indejiendent as cats and as hard to dominate or rule. Years ago, l»efore women got the vote and the right to indepen dence and all the other things she now possesses, It might have been possible to tell her she couldn’t wrestle. It woul«Jbe presumptuous to tell her now—and useless. Hav ing seen the pictures of those fe minine wrestlers in the papers and having read the story of the bout we are very certain that if anyone tells the lady wrestlers they cannot perform it Is going to I»e some one else than us. They may not have l>een feminine but were very formidable. NOT GOOD Mr. Kenneth Kendrick, a Texan with the dialict and hoastfullness of his native state fully apparent, Is president of the national assoc iation of wheat growers He spoke at Portland. It is our hope that wheat men should see that Mr. Kendrick speaks seldom and then be restrlcetd to story telling at which he Is most adept. He feels that farmers should have subsidies 'because other sub sidies are paid. He overlooks the fact that sub sidies are a small part of the wheat problem. If it Is necessary to pay subsidies to assure that suf ficient food is produced by farm ers for the nation’? citizens we will have, and should have subsi dies. Of greater concern is another fact: that the payment of subsidies to growers of surplus crops had distorted the American agricultu ral situation without helping the consumers of the, nation and with out bringing any stability to the agriculture of the nation. In oth er words subsidies are not a major part of the problem at all. If the United States Department of Agriculture has any function at all it is to attempt to equalixe production of food and fiber so that the needs of the nation are met. Second, there should be some production to occasionally aid the state department with valuable exports. No one Is helped by hav ing wheat stored In country eleva tors, terminal elevators, un used barns, abandoned ships. Cer tainly the wheat growers are not helped by such a program. It Is reassuring that the USDA Is interested of late in reducing production in non - commercial areas, which together with some reduction in parity, may help re turn wheat growing to those areas in the nation that are best adapt ed to that crop. Purpose of subsidies and cer tainly the effect of subsidies, is to increase production. In war time they may have been valuable. Now they serve to distort the en tire nation’s agricultural produc tion. In effect they are taking away production from the best wheat growing sections an ' giv ing it to areas not suited to wheat growing. Apparently Mr Kendrick comes from an area that should not he growing wheat except in the dire straits of war, Production there— if he was being serious at the time—is rive to ten bushels. Pay ment of a subsidy sufficient to keep such producers in existence does great and lasting t’amag? to producers of th® mid-Columbia ba sin who have productive wheat land.

When anyone asks al»out plastic pipe it Is generally a good 64 dol lar question. To begin with, there are some 20 to 25 different types of plastic pipe and many of these are In the experimental stage. There are two general types—the flexible and the semi-rigid. Prob ably more than 90 per cent of the plastic pipe sold today is polyeth ylene, the most common and flex ible pipe. Plastic pipe makers are concentrating most of the produc tion on polyethylene, an oil refin ery by-product It Is black, looks and feels like hard rubber and is resistant to all types of soli corro sion, alkali, sulfur, electrolysis, etc. It won’t rot, rust, or corrode and is non-toxic, making it satis factory for carrying drinking wa te r Since the flexible pipe can be "snaked out" In any kind of trench, no matter how crooked, it saves ijuite a bit of the cost of la bor. In some cases as much as 60 per cent compared with steel pipe. A few of the big steel and rubber manufacturers have climbed on to the hand wagon making this pipe. Plastic pipe can he used very suc cessfully In many farm piping jobs. However, one should be sure to check the guarantee and the maximum pressure the pipe will stand.
