OUR OW N FUTURE
A t the town meeting held Friday night, secre
tary o f the Chamber o f Commerce E. G. Harlan
told o f the conditions in Tacoma, Washington
when the rail road shops were moved to Seattle,
how the business district was nearly paralysed
tor some time, and how after they had once re
gained their confidence, the city enjoyed a great
er and more substantial growth than it had ever
had before. This is a message that Ashland can
take to heart. For years and years business has
progressed locallv, with the serene confidence
o f a community tnat knows it has a large payroll
from which to make its living. No effort has been
made to rightfully hold that which belonged to
it. There was no particular reason for attempting
to build up outside trade territories, or develop
local resources, for business was good because o f
the railroad pay roll.
Then one day Ashland folks woke up to the full
realization that families who had resided here
for years were moved, forced to move into other
communities, that ties of friendship, established
over a period of years were being broken and
business relations were severed over night. This
created a feeling o f dispair in Ashland’s future.
The prop that we had been leaning on for so
many years had been kicked out from under us
and we were left suspended in mid air with ap
parently nothing to light on. However as the
months go by, we find that we have a compara
tively soft place to land. W e find that the pop
ulation is just about the same, or if anything a lit
tle larger. We find that Normal school students
spend considerable money, we find that there
are many people living in the outside districts
who would prefer to come to Ashland to do their
shopping, and we find that the rail roads can
not take away the greatest thing we have, our na
tural resources.
Our job now is to come to the full realization
that our future lies in our own hands. W e can do
as Tacoma has done. Hut it will require the unit
ed efforts o f every interested individual. The fu
ture o f the City o f Ashland is greater than that o f
any individual and by working out our destiny
together, it can be greater and more successful.
THE ACTION OF THE HEALTH BOARD
There has been some criticism directed to the
board o f health for their action in prohibiting all
children under sixteen to attend Sunday school
and other gathering places, but still allowing the
schools to remain open. The Register feels that
this criticism is based upon a misunderstanding
ot the motive o f the board rather than anything
else, and that a brief explanation as to the reason
for this action would not be out o f place.
According to members o f the health board,
there has not been one single case o f infantile
paralysis originate in Ashland, the one case that
was discovered here was brought in from the out
side. The board of health arrived at this conclu
sion,^ that as long as there were no cases originat
ing in Ashland, the nrobable source o f the dis
ease was not in Ashland and if there could be
some means adopted to keep local children from
coming in contact with outside districts, the
chances for the spread o f the disease would be
considerably minimized, and there would not be
the great loss entailed in the closing o f the
schools.
O f course only the future can tell the wisdom o f
this course but it would seem that the boards rea
soning was logical.
a g r o u n d l e s s id io s y n c r a c y
Herbert Hoover proposes a question very per
tinent to the time wnen he says: “ I often wonder
why it is that insurance must be secured by soli
citation.”
It is a peculiar fact that, with the exception o f
fire insurance, practically everyone has to be
“ sold” by the ability and tenacity o f the agent,
rather than by their own wish to purchase an in
dispensable commodity.
Yet the hazards o f death, accident, liability,
and the rest are every bit as imminent as the
BAYONETS!
