In hi? article In this b»u* of the News that "the trouble with bootlegging is that it pays and pays big. Whoever will take th** profit out of this unholy business »ill be domg a great service." Take the profit out of selling and making of moonshine and the bootlegger and moonshiner will disappear. In other words take away the de mand and they will have no market -eliminate the cause and there will be no effect. The trouble with the present situation is that It tries to elimi nate the bootlegger and moonshiner and leaves the demand for these people in effect. Conse- entlv ever increasingly others spring up to take Hr places. And the sad part about it is the dealers and makers of moonshine for the most part are young men—who were boys when the galoons were in vogue. Seemingly the only way to put the bootlegger out of business is for the government to go into ruinous competition with him. since there is no wav to eliminate the demand for the liquor. But of course this would be letting down the bars and compromising with liquor and Dr. Crane says "There Can Be No Compromise with Liquor.” Like murder, arson and theft, the crimes of mak ing and selling booze will likely always be with ns if we continue under the present conditions. No one seems to have a solution which will satis fy the majority. • • • SOME SHOCKING ANSWERS S As chairman of the city industrial committee we sometimes get some shocking answers to our Inquiries about prospective industries. We learn ed that a large plant in the state was contemplat ing a move and forhwith wrote the manager a letter inviting him to put it on our free site. After thanking us for the courtesy shown be said that his plant was to be moved but that is was going to be moved out of Oregon "Where there wasn't so many d--------- fools making the laws.” He also said that invested capital wasn't safe in Oregon where farmer and labor organizations constantly Imposed a minority rule on it. Answers flavored like this have come from peo ple outside the state, too. We often wonder how widely this feeling exists, and to what extent It has retarded development. Of course there is no way of telling and we hope it is not far reaching but we must admit it comes from numerous Sources. Filled with pride for our great state one U tempted to say to these people that we don’t want your kind because you would not make desirable citizens anyway. But this would be "sour grapes” because they are already good and sub stantial citizens and concerns of other states. While we feel that much of the criticism of Ore stadaat la physlcw.

Gooyear’s New Balloon Tire for Fords and Chevrolets Ever since Balloon Tires were introduced, Goodyear has been experimenting with tread designs to develop a tread which would match the Goodyear Balloon Carcass made of SU PER TW tST Cord. Eighty different treads have been tried with- inthe past two years and hundreds of thous ands of miles run on test cars. Finally, out of al, these tests has come the new tire shown above. It is the famous Goodyear All-Weather Tread scientifically redesigned for Balloon Tire use. The first big advantages of this new tread are traction and resistance to skidding. The sharp-edged diamond-shaped blocks are placed in a semi-flat design so that they not only grip the road but they retain their use ' M «tette tbav» war» 27 swalors. 1» ssfbntesrwi. * frate m»n I aaavtal ala fe t ta <a4 7 r»«tat»r»4 la th» ) • « a cteacl Of tkaar. »t«ht atad»nta e cw4v«4 ao sraJM b»J»w I Thr y aro M irtea Katktewa OMa. tarlar la Koic Itala Katkteea Virginia ThavaMaon «'afenaaora*. * fr*ateia»a. 1 sparlai ala F lla m s a a aaaior la Kagliate. all ot I\wtlaa«t; Kltear Aadrrsoa. sparlai « fulness longer than any non-skid tread ever before tried. The second big advantage is long, slow, even tread wear as opposed to the “cupping" and uneven wear so noticable on many other Balloon Tires. And with these virtues of traction, non-skid and long wear this new tread is perfectly quiet and does not produce the vibration of many non-skid designs. With the Goodyear SU P E R TW IS T Carcass and the new Goodyear Balloon All-Weather Tread, you have the safest, longest wear ing. most trouble-free tire Goodyear has ever produced. We have this new tire in the 29x4.40 size for Fords and Chevrolets. Come in- yo u ll want it right away. 29x4.40 - only $12.85 Springfield Garage W. H. ADRAIN, Prop. stron upport of our collective »III and Intelligence .'• He emphasized the Importance of farm ftjrestry as a means of lessening agricultural sur pluses and meeting the problem ot agricultural over production, and the resulting dr-pression In the farming In dustry. Regarding (he part forestry might play In farm relief the Presi dent said: "One-fourth of our soil la better suited to timber-growing than any thing else. I can not escape the con viction that our Industrial and agri cultural stability « ill be strengthened by bringing Into full productive use this great empire of land. Although much progress has been made in pub lic forestry and hope-fill beginnings In private forestry, we still have vast aggregate of Idle or semi-idle forest land, and another large aggregate of poor farm land that might more pro fitably grow timber Instead of adding to the problem of agricultural over production." Agricultural would find In timber growing a strong ally, the President said, providing markets for farm pro duce aiU for surplus labor. Amer.can Forest Week this year will assume an International scnpie throush the fact that Canada will ob- ! serve forest week at the same time Through the Department of State, the Mexican Government also has been In- I vited to participate In this year's cam- palgn for the protection, perpetuation and right use of the forests. 91 STU D EN TS O N OREGON HONOR ROLL University of Oregon.
