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.

the U. S., wants to fight a duel

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

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.

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."
