SELF-FINANCING PROJECT Fourteen hundred outstate cars crossed the Reedsport ferry in June. We believe the state might well borrow money from the federal government to build a bridge across the Umpqua river at this point and others on the new coast highway. Interest and part of the principal on this loan could be repaid with a small toll being charged to the thous ands of cars using them. Building of the five needed bridges on the Coast highway would afford employment for several hundred men. The Rogue river bridge cost $653,000 of which the state, paid $264,063:0" and the federal government $388,- 936.93. If the state should borrow a million dollars and re ceive federal support like it has on this one bridge then a long way could be gone in building the other five. ----- ----- -$•----------- The Southern Lane Tax conservation league has writ ten candidates for county offices asking them if they will take a reduction in salary if elected. To answer this ques tion is a violation of the corrupt practice act and will lay any candidate open to prosecution. After all it is the people’s duty to set the salary of public office and no candidate should go about promising remittance. If he feels he is not worth the salary after he has been elected then it is all right for him to give some of it back. If a general reduction in public salaries is desired this matter should be talked over with the candidates for the legislature and their support enlisted. Hope that there will be some revival in the lumber busi ness now- that a $3 tariff is in effect, is being expressed by lumbermen. The Canadians rushed a big supplv of lumber across the border just before the law went into effect and it will take some time to absorb it. Strengthening of the hog and cattle market the last few months is expected to stimu late some building in the middle west. Oregon's election ballot will contain 13 measures offer ed to be voted Into law. The voter we think will regard them as an unlucky number. 11 someone can produce a parasite for mosquitoes they will have earned the everlasting gratitude of campers and fishermen. -- «-- Signs of optimism—congress has adjourned and the hog market has strengthened. Q Sc FAMILY /DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES A4.0 ALCOHOL, PRO AND CON The propagandists are at work—some condemning some pleading for alcohol. The family doctor should be a good, honest judge, with absolutely nothing up his sleeve in the way of political crookedness. He should be the capable honest adviser of his patrons who look to him in all things medical. B Alcohol compounds are extremely useful and conveni ent ax medicine. No honest, capable physician will deny that. „Jl. u trUe h^ys'eians are against alcoholics as beverages. Whiskey is a good servant —a had master. No true physi cian with the welfare of his people at heart will recommend intemperance in anything. Iant against propagandists who will stoop to falsehood in order to carry out their designs. For instance, the fellow who declares that alcohol is not a stimulant, but a depres- aant, that it will stop a heart of respiratory apparatus rather than revive it; I ve had 38 years of experience and I know better. Many hundred times I have revived my aged patient when near collapse with whiskey, combined with milk and < KK8 It was most convenient and usually acceptable to the nivalld. I might have used strychina, but I liked the effect of the alcoholic oetter. Why not use the one most simple convenient, and yet reliable? p ’ 'V* 8lljiiulants paralyze and depress in overdose, and the alcoholic stimulant is no exception; but why use an overdose? it is the overdose after all that does harm. But u lien any one tells me that whiskey in normal dose is never a stimulant but a depressant, then I am suspicious of both his scientific knowledge and his sincerity of purpose—he lias an axe to grind. Our blessings should and must be used flee BY RADFORD MOBLCY wi Eleventh Instalment LOVE TEMPERED BY DEPRESSION Utah is the only western state showing an increase in marriages during 1932 over the previous year, despite the law in recent years prohibiting a man from having more than one wife at a time in this great state. Oregon‘s de crease was 4.4 per cent. Oregon’s marriage, birth and death statistics are some thing to be alarmed at as this state could not maintain its present population by natural increase if it were not for the help of California and other states of the union. While old man depression may be holding down marriage and birth rates the grim reaper goes on overtime and knows no let up except In his battle with science which claims to have lengthened the average human life 10 or 12 years. ----------------------- AUTO LICENSE FEES The state spent about seven million dollars last year for maintenance, reconstruction and betterment of the pres ent state highways. The counties spent several millious also. License fees from plate sales was about six and one half million. In other words the present license fees do not pay the upkeep bill on our present highway system. The average automobile owner pays $21.33 for license and that money i6 spent to keep the roads in condition for him to travel over. The gas tax takes care of new con struction and bond interest and retirement of the original cost of the road. In our opinion if a lower license fee means less maintenance then it will be more than offset with higher automobile operation cost over poorer roads. — ------------- _________ __ Thu recent o rder nt the post of | 76c 5c T II I R S D A Y .
