ADVERTISING RATES GIVEN ON APPLICATION SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year 12 0 1.00 .'6 .05 Three Months . Single Copies - MORROW COUNTY'S OFFICIAL PAPER Foreign Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Still More to Come. TiHE "saturation point" in auto mobiles seems as far off as ever. For the first six months of 1927 General Motors sold 840,481 cars, against 620,190 in 1926 and 396,360 in 1925. An increase of 74,000 cars PER AlONTH in two years is not bad. The big motor boom and fight are expected in the Autumn, when Henry Ford's new car will make its bow. Ford is quoted to the effect that the country can easily absorb two million new cars every year, since, at the present rate of car ownership, that would mean every car would have to last six years. Mr. Ford knows that 2, 000,000 new cars a year is a ridic ulously low estimate. Will Rogers describes a poor family as a fam ily "having only one car." And that is not exaggeration. Every active individual, includ ing bigger children in prosperous families, needs his own car, and the four-car family will soon be numerous. Two cars to a family should be the average. To say that four million cars, trucks, etc., can easily be absorbed in this country every year is putting it mildly, assuming, of course, that intelligent advertising is done in valuable newspapers, such as this one. Schools Cost Money. IT is pleasant to learn that this nation spends more on public schools than on any other govern ment function not excepting the cost of keeping ready for war. Our public schools cost two thous and million dollars a year, about one-fourth the total amount spent for public purposes. Two billions a year seems a great deal, but it is not much real ly. Public education, on which the future depends, absolutely costs less than twenty dollars per capita. And, by the way, it costs less than half the money spent on cigarettes. That last is an encouraging fact. It proves that when the people want a thing they get it, somehow or other. Just now, they want the best cigarette. Some day they will decide that they want the best pos sible public education. Then they will spend ten billions and more a year for it instead of two billions. An Austrian Archduke, now in the U. S., wants to fight a duel with a Hungarian Count, also here, never mentioning purse, gate, split or anything. "What boobs," chimed Dempsey and Sharkey in unison. Songs of Plain Folks Let's have more peace, more quiet talks With neighbors as the sun goes down, More strolling by the garden walks, Less rushing in and out of town. The dance, the game, the speeding car Are good but if an hour is spent With cricket-song and even-star The heart is rested and content. Do you who seek my little Church Think this old shepherd seems to know Too much of aspen, elm, and birch, Of paths where leaves and petals blow, And not enough of life and youth? The years, in passing, will attest That meditation ends in truth And God's unhurried hours ae best. t1 7Z'.rJ 1 BtFrank Crane Says REMEMBER-ALL IS NOT LOST TQECAUSE something has happened to you which interferes - with your. efficiency is no proof that all is lost. There is nothing unconquerable to the human spirit. There is no truer saying than, where there is life there is hope." The great problem is to utilize what remains of your life and keep up a bold front. It never pays to give up. Life is like a coin stamped on both sides. On one side is the face of smiling fortune, on the other the image of frowning re verses. Sometimes one side lies up and sometimes the other, and sometimes the two seem to spin, alternating continually. But the two are always there in every life, side by side. So one-half of the art of life is knowing how to meet misfor tune and the other half understanding how to treat prosperity. Near Lincoln, Nebraska, a nineteen-year-old boy named Edward Smith lost both his arms in an accident when he was helping shuck corn on his father's farm. With that accident most of the means of earning a living open to htm the day before were obliterated. There were few things that he could do. Yet one of these he did superlatively well. Providing himself with artificial arms, he became a salesman for a Kansas City manufacturer. . Later he was sent to Europe to open a branch factory. He became a success in spite of a well-nigh insurmountable handicap. In New Buffalo, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Michigan, lives Joe Jones. From childhood he has had a crippled leg, with one ankle that is stiff and without feeling. Yet he has saved five people from drowning at the beaches near his home. For nineteen years Magdalen Beans of Pittsburgh, has been confined to one room with a nerve center in her back deranged so the slightest movement causes agony. During this time she has written stories and poems that have been widely published and have given robust people enjoyment and encouragement. Such items bring strength for meeting our own troubles and enlarge our respect for the spirit of human nature. Flat Fee Bill a Bad One. OREGON VOTER. I F UNANIMITY of newspaper opposition counts for anything, the $3 flat fee petition for motor vehicle licenses will not find much favor. Alarm for the state high way program was manifested by editorials that appeared in most of the papers of the state within a day or two of the filing of the ap plication for petition form. The Oregon Automotive Con ference promptly went on record, thus reflecting the opposition of the enlightened dealers. The Ore gon State Motor Association, thru its engineer, Frank Reusswig; is sued information depicting in graphic form the effect of the pro posed cut in highway revenues. The Oregon Roads & Development Association, which handled the state highway program campaigns of 1917 and 1920, will get into action if necessary to conduct a campaign against the measure. It probably is too much to hope that the petition promoters will be unable to obtain enough signatures to get their measure on the ballot, as they can make fairly good wages as they work, by soliciting small change contributions to their expense fund. They are wjthin their rights as citizens in solicit ing and accepting these contribu tions, and there are enough sus ceptible people to contribute a big fund if the solicitors can manage to reach them. rrom the newspaper reception James Jhvis Hays xw ... ti: 4 ft r 5 Oil of the notion it is clear that the state highway revenue situation wil be shown up clearly. Once in formed as to the effect on highway 1 maintenance of withdrawing rev enues, no responsible auto owner will vote for the cut. One trip over a neglected highway would cost him more in damage to his machine than his saving in license fee would amount to. Imagine what the result would be on the wonderful oiled macadam high ways of Eastern Oregon if main tenance was abandoned for a cou ple of years, as it would have to be were the revenues shut off by this bill! even it automobiles were placed Dack on the personal prop erty tax roll as a result of this measure carrying, nearly all the proceeds would go to cities, school districts, general county expenses and state expenses, instead of go ing into the road funds either of the counties or of the state. The auto owner would have to pay from $5 to $100 a year in personal property tax, according to the as sessed value of his car, without the satisfaction of knowing that the money went for roads. The gross revenues of cities, counties, schonl districts, port districts and other taxing bodies (except from flat millage rates such as the tax for higher educational institutions) would not be increased by placing automobiles back on the personal property tax rolls, for levies are made from budgets and then spread over all the property as sessed. An increase in the total value of assessed property would not mean that the levies would be increased by a like amount. Viewed from every angle, the $3 flat fee bill is a bad one. Its adoption would increase the an nual expense of auto operation many times more than it would save by fee reduction and it would force onto property a tax far high er than the relief afforded by plac ing automobiles back on the per sonal property tax roll. ACCORDING to the two-inch type in the city newspapers we are on the verge of war about twice a week. With no particular nation, but all of them, and no particular reason except to make a sensational headline. The pa pers record the news, and yet how misleading. From the news pub lished one might be lead to be lieve that everybody was robbing a bank, committing murder, get ting a divorce or bootlegging. The truth is that these are all isolated cases and that's what makes them news. It is no news to say that John Doe is on the square, or that Mary Doe is a good woman. There are many millions of good men and women, but they are not news. It is not news for a man to live with his own wife, but see how much news they made out of Ai mee, who was merely suspected of living with another woman's hus band. The good she does is not news, but one false step justifies thousands of columns. Crime, war and rumors of war seem to be the chief topics for the city paper. They get out a special edition ev ery time some one robs a bank or in a fit of rage or insanity kills another. If life were as pictured in the city newspaper we ought to quit boasting about our civiliza tion. But don't let a penny news paper mislead you. Canyon City Eagle. Improved Roads Cheapest ALTHOUGH we spend millions annually for improving roads, only about one farm in twelve is located on a hardsurfaced or a paved highway. A much larger proportion are near enough to paved thoroughfares to make con siderable use of them, but even one intervening mile of muddy road often makes the use of farm automobiles impossible. Good roads used to be classed as luxuries but such is no longer the case. When the loss of time incurred by rough or muddy un improved roads is considered, to gether with the wear and tear on vehicles, paved or hard-surfaced roads are essential and should be built as rapidly as possible. The Department of Agriculture says: "For the movement of every vehicle over a road is a certain cost, which is less if the road be improved. Logically, therefore, the only limit that should be plac ed on expenditures for roadim provement is the amount that can be saved in vehicular operating costs. The country loses more in increased cost of operating vehi cles by not improving roads than it does to improve them. In other words, it pays for improved roads whether it has them or not, and it pays less by having them than by not having them. A thin waterproof wearing sur face is being placed on existing gravel and macadam roads in farming communities with great success and at moderate cost. Margot Asquith says if women. didn t dress for men they would wear much less. M'gosh what she mean MUCH? Court statistics show that wo- men get 65 percent of the divorces and men s pocketbooks show they get 100 percent of the ali mony. So many thread-bare overcoats would not be seen in the fall if more people decided to spend their vacations "just inside their incomes." Weight Handicap One of the aspirants for a pitch er's berth on the college ball team had recently arrived from the coun try. He was told to warm up a bit by throwing a ball around. "Well, how're they coming?" the captain of the nine asked him a lit tle later. "Rotten. Sump'n's wrong with my arm, boss. I ain't getting the speed I oughta." "Groat Scott, man! That isn't a baseball you're throwing. That's the 16 pound shot." Non-Skid Cafe Pation: Waiter, there i sand the bread. Waiter: Yes, sir. That's to keep the butter from sliding off.
