HIGHWAY SP E E D S
Two serious»accidents on Ore
gon highways in recent days have
brought increased interest in pass
age of a new law governing high
way speeds. 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

Years ago, l»efore women got
the vote and the right to indepen

now possesses, It might have been
possible to tell her she couldn’t

to tell her now—and useless. Hav

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.
