Trouble in a Trailer!
When man's imagination takes flight it conjures
up some peculiar ideas but the physical limit seems
to be reached in the varied contraptions being
towed down Ashland's main stem in the way of
tourists’ trailers. They run the gamut from hitch-on
limousines to out-houses on wheels.
The migratory Californian takes his house with
him, and goes one better the Arkansas traveler
who takes everything but the house. While the
most of 'em constitute neither nuisance nor hazard,
still there are a great many of the trailer tourists
whose hitches and follow-up equipment might be
called anything but a safe bet, both to themselves
and to the passing motorist or pedestrian, not to
mention the possessor of a neat and flowered front
lawn, which is susceptible to sudden charges and
deep rutting from trailer-barns suddenly cast adrift
while careening through city streets and down
highways at full speed.
Nearly every day motorists shudder as they ner
vously watch a combination sleeping room and
kitchenette wobble back and forth across the pave
ment on its spindly flivver axle and creaking wheels.
Fastened onto obsolete vehicles with bailing wire
and casual catches, there are a great many of the
trailers which are a menace to life and property
being dragged along our thoroughfares at a too-
great rate of speed.
However, the traveler is not the only offender on
our streets and highways. Ofttimes local farmers
and cattlemen hook up their family limousines to
some of the gosh-awfullest contraptions and go
spinning down the road with a bawling cow dizzily
carrying her life in her hooves and her tail at a
rakish angle.
All motorists should realize the serious respon
sibility and great liability of pulling trailers of
haphazard, home-made design. Although they may
not suffer should a trailer come loosened while in
motion, there is much liklihood that passing mot
orists or pedestrians will. A carelessly constructed
or fastened trailer can easily become a death trap,
even behind a well-handled automobile.
And Now the Dole-Drums!
News dispatches of the week tell of a situation
in South Dakota where thousands of able-bodied
men on relief have been denied further government
aid for refusing jobs harvesting grain. It seems that
while the unemployed were busy posing as pathetic
victims of the depression, harvest operations were
at a standstill because farmers could not persuade
men to perform honest, sweat-producing labor.
Miner To Feature
Chesterfield Ads
Recognitlon in the foreign ad
vertising field came to the South
ern Oregon Miner this week with
receipt of a space order from a
New York advertising agency rep
resenting the Ligget and Myers
Tobacco company which will fea
ture an intensive Chesterfield cig-
aret advertising campaign in this
paper, starting next week.
The Miner, now well enough es
tablished in Ashland to command
attention in other sections as well
as here, has been steadily branch
ing out in its field of business and
it is expected the Chesterfield cig-
are c advertising contract will open
the way for many more national
advertisers in this newspaper.
• J. M. Alnutt of Eugene recently
spent several days in Ashland on
business.
• Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Stearns and
daughter Jeannette, spent several
days in Portland this week.
• Mr. and Mrs. Louis Dodge have
as their guests for two weeks.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Durgan. Mr.
and Mrs. Dodge are Mrs. Durgan’s
parents. While here they expect to
spend some time at Lake of the
Woods at the Dodge cottage.

The news account substantiates a recent editorial
claim of the Miner that dole has developed a species
of self-pitying ne'er-do-well who is loud In his
plaints and almost inaudible in his blds for real
toil. He has turned from being grateful for help
during our recent emergency to demanding help,
and complaining while he loafs along being his
brother's kept.
The Miner has insisted that the time has passed
in southern Oregon where it means hunger and
actual want for the able-bodied man who is not
on relief if he will seek out and perform work. Ap
parently, too, that time has passed in other sections
of the country as well.
It seems to be a human fault that tongues of the
lazy know no exhaustion and when a dole-cultured
individual is criticized for a lack of self-reliance,
the cntic promptly is assailed with arguments, fig
ures and epithets for his observation.
But the fact remains, and the South Dakota
incident substantiates the assertion, that there are
too many formerly respectable people chiseling off
the dole and government aid today. They have ac
customed themselves to a lot of leisure and they
mean to use their leisure in prolonging it.
Save for the unemployable and the physically
dependent, there is little doubt but that the general
morale and tone of the country would be improved
if all dole and all government relief were to stop
tomorrow.

Because Italy sees opportunity in Ethiopia which
calls for militaristic realization, the press of this
country—and perhaps of other nations too- is
pouncing on the situation and scoring Premier
Mussolini heavily for planning conquest into a
parctically helpless country.
At this time, at least, the Miner will be content
to let Italy behave herself as she thinks best, know
ing full well that no native American can become
critical of Italy without becoming somewhat hypo
critical. Our conquests have been similar and, in the
beginning, colonization of America was a matter
of "education” and "civilization” -almost open war
fare -against the native Indian which we justified in
our own rights, just as Italy is justifying herself
in the matter of spreading out in Ethiopia, and
just as Japan has exonerated herself in Manchurian
expansion.
For that matter, we can easily remember about
1926, when it was being said that these United
States should clean up Mexico, and annex that
country, on various premises that they were smug
gling aliens into our country, were uneducated and
unindustrialized, and needed our leadership, anyway.
It just depends on who the shoe fits, and who is
getting kicked by it. When we "protected" Cuba,
opened the doors of Japan, invaded the western
part of North America, we forfeited any right to
become critical of other nations for expansion into
territory unable to resist. If Mussolini wants to bully
Ethiopia and slaughter a few black men, we would
be more graceful to remember the slaughtered red
men on our own soil, who died resisting invasion.
But what causes our most pronounced mental
sneer is the now current flood of editorial comment
indicating that the world should be too well edu
cated and civilized by now to permit such aggres
siveness by arms. So long as people live, move and
think there will be readjustment and much of it
will be effected through violence. Simply because
mature minds of the day realize the awfulness of
war, habits of centuries will not be changed.
We should quit kidding ourselves about human
traits and remember that sentiment is for the
movies and fiction. Those who have, want, and they
generally have the means and the inclination to
take it by force, if necessary. Our own nation was
founded on that principle, and we are in no position
to mind Premier Mussolini's business for him.
