A , The Unemployment Conference will take ii)) at once the problem of the iille button on the fall dresses of the (lul- N extraordinary thing lias happened. Certain newspapers in Ore gon are actually saying something nice ahoiit the railroads. . Iu Koscburg, Kugone, .Marslii'ielil, McMiiinvillo, Lebanon and other rail-J road division points, there have been newspaper articles recently, I urging the people to stop'patronijiing motor busses and inotor trucks, and tlirow their support to the Vailroads. The Portland Telegram is now engaged iu an aggressive campaign showing the rapid destruction of the paved highways by the heavy motor trucks, which are seriously reducing the freight tonnage of railroad lines in this state. It really begins to look as though tha worm, planted in (he soil of public opinion, when railroads owned state legislatures and charged all the traffic would bear, was begin iiing lo turn. The people of the stale, particularly in the railroad centers, where railroad prosperity is a material factor in local prosperity, are at last realizing certain important facts. One is that the Southern Pacific iiud Hill lines in this state pay taxes of about a million and a half dol lars a year. The pay rolls and material, purchases of the railroads mount fo hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Obviously if the railroads should be forced, out of business by motor compel itiou-p or their financial health seriously impaired the entire state and par ticularly these railroad centers would suffer a disastrous blow. As President Sproulc of the Southern Pacific told the .American bankers at their convention in hos Angeles the other day: "The railroads mo heiiiK taxed to build and maintain highways and the highway are being broken down by the pounding of motor trucks and motor busses. . When the absurdity becomes manifest of build ing highways at public expense for competing carriers ' to use free as . against Invested money of hundreds of thousands of citizens who have put their money iu good faith into the railroads the country will he In u -position to start on a neweurreer of business expansion." There is1 something in this although President Sproulc could not be considered an impartial, witness. And something must "soon be done, if the public welfare is to be properly protected. If the motor bus and motor (ruck form a natural evolution of transportation that is lo say if the motor vehicle can supply betted1 transportation at shevikis.

First, there were tho Port land ltosarlans, tho Vancouver Prnn ariims, tho Salem Clierrlnns. Thou Newberg came along with the Rcrrlnna and Albany, not being noted for any thing since the abolition of its skunk farm, calls its Isxister organization the "Hubarluns.'' Should Corvallis got nutty this way, it Is noted for so many things that It would lmve a hard time selecting a name. There could be the Deortans, the Henarlans, the Kggar lans, the Dnirlans, the Peariafts, the Apiarians, tho Aquarians, the Gram marians, tho Humanitarians, the l.npl darluus, Ihe lilpafiaiis. the Sabbatar ians, Hie Vegetariaus, the Mllllarlans, M tho Cowcollegarians, tho Corvalarlans, and, were not tho Hubartans so polite, the Harbnrtans, We hope, however, tnut Corvallis will restrain herself and be Satisfied with the notoriety that comes to her from having the best cll mute, tho .best people and the best agricultural collei a In the world.
