The derailment of a Southern Pacific passenger train below Klamath Falls last week serves to illus trate that accidents are exceptions and not the iule with railroads. Striking a boulder in a cut, the tiain ripped up track and disrupted traffic tor several houis, but no injuries were suffered, either by passengers oi crew. Despite steadily mounting highway traffic death lists, American railroads have been able to make safei their handling of passengers and freight. Seldom do they receive credit for their good work. Railroads possess inherent virtues, including the construction and maintenance of their own highways. They pay an unusually heavy tax burden, the Southern Pacific being Jackson county’s largest contributor. Yet the railroads are damned and cussed beyond their due. With rail travel by far the safer, more comfortable method, it is regrettable that more people do not use it. However, loss of business is the natural result of • Miss Evelyn Applegate.

With sasonal harvests drawing to a close in Cali fornia. where thousands of midwestern “dusters" have taken refuge, an acute problem of housing and hunger faces authorities who already are hampered by a short age of relief funds. The crop-following itinerants, mostly from red- soiled Oklahoma, present a difficult burden of desti tution, despair and malnutrition. To say that California invited the influx by her constant luring of tourists does not solve the distressing situation of thousands of tin-can nomads broken down and destitute on her southern acres. That the problem is California’s reward for overeffective publicizing puts no bread in mouths of the stranded, nor does it clothe children’s backs nor rehabilitate desperate families. The situation is the accumulated result of indus trialization, land exhaustion, depression—all mixed with an overproportion of human worthlessness. Of course all jalopy tramps are not on the bum through choice, but most of them always have dwelt in the valley of bad management of poor white trash. Back in their home states before depression and prior to drouth most were not listed among the industrious, the thrifty or the intelligent. Solution of the problem lies neither in condemning the migrants as a class nor in maudlin, sympathetic glorification of their plight, which is a product of adverse economic forces which have magnified their stupidity. It is to be hoped that some humane way out may be found that neither coddles the worthless nor works severe hardship on the willing hungry. For tunately, Oregon has not presented itself to the middle west as the one ideal haven and, consequently, we have no peon problem distressing our best minds. California and her thousands of indigents are to be pitied. A Genuine Home Tn referring to our establishment as a funeral home we want to stress the qualities which truly justify the use of the word "home." Beautifully and com fortably furnished, it has an air of rest fulness which is truly comforting to the family at time of bereavement.
