HOW CUb SHE
(Salem Statesman)
Tho first part of tho evening was
spent with the usual roll call nnd rites
at tno alumni association. This was
"followed by ' short program which iu
''turn was followed by the Initiation of
tho now members. Tho association
deviated from former yenrs In that the
greater part of the evening was spent
1n Initiation Instead of, the usual danc
ing. One amusing feature of tho initi
ation was tho gum chewing contest
which the commerce girls were obliged
to partake in under , tho order that no
commerce girl Is an. efficient stenogra
pher unless she can pass tho gum
chewing test. Miss Clara Scott won
the medal, she being able to chew 21
sticks of gum at one time.

THE S. P. AND C. P. DIVORCE.
THE SlPRKME COl'KT recently divorced the Southern Pacific
and the Central Pacific, even tliouyji the' have lived together
in peace, prosperity and harmony for nearly fifty year."
As a result I lien; is consideralili' excitement anions business men
on the Pacific Coast. They see all sorts of disasters, if the divorce is
curried out.
A certain apprehension is justified, no doubt, hut the advantages
of retaining domestic solidarity areso manifest that it is hard to
believe the actuul dissolution will ever take place.
As a matter of fact, the Sherman law, upon which this decision
was based, is woefully out of date. Over lit) years ago when railroads
were uncontrolled, there was some reaVon for opposing railroad com
binations. For a combination then meant elimination of competition,
nnd therefore a removal of themly force that could prevent extor
tion and abuse.
lint today the Interstate Commerce commissions nnd the various
i-'tatc public service commissions, regulate the tariffs, the extensions,
the stocks and bonds, everything. So as a mutter of actual fact, the
more combination there is within reason ami the less needless compe
tition, the Letter for the railroads and the better for the people.
i
This fact was recently recognized in the Transportation Act of
1920 when Congress instructed the Interstate Commerce commission
to adopt a plan for the consolidation of railroad properties into a
limitied number of systems. '
"We don't pretend to understand the legal questions involved, but
unless this case is very different from all others, there must be an
easy way to retain the purpose of an act of 19120 and disregard the
purpose of an act of 1890, when the former plainly represents public
policy and the latter as plainly doesn 't.

BEAUTIES OP NATURE.
Y WENT with lilitzeti in his van, along n country road; ho's a
JL romantic sort of man, to whom this life's an ode. He's always
seeing lovely things, wherever he may look; he boosts the little
bird that sings, goes butty o'er a brook. With one iliiuul on the
steering wheel, he glanced to left nnd right; "this '.lovely land
scape makes me feel like weeping with delight. Ihnw wonder
ful that field of wheat, that stretch of fragrant liny S Oh life is
glorious and sweet, on such a golden day!" "Yes, life's a
soroii in," I slowly said, "but when you drive a bus you ought to
keep your eyes ahead, and cut out all the fuss. WJhen you're
afoot it's well to mark the sunshine on the grain, and trill about
it like a lark not when you tool a wain." "Oh, life is full and
sweet and rich," ho cried his eyes aswimj nnd then he 'dumped us
in the ditch and broke my starboard limb. I'd rather ride with
one who takes long chances here and there, than with, the dele
gate who rakes tho landscape with his stare. A driver shouldn't
watch the goats that play upon the grass, or rubber at he fields
of oats as he steps on the gas. He shouldn't think of things afar,"
but play the driver's game; to navigate his creaking crtr should
be his highest aim.

Moss-Back Banks
Banks can be nnd usually are the
most useful' Institutions in a commu
nity and they can be and occasionally
are, the most detrimental. The char
acter, vision and public spirit of the
bankers measure the community's pro
Kreas and its development or they
account for its stagnation and deca
dence. Most banks are real commu
nity builders but some are merely
leeches sucking Its life blood.
Medford is an instance in point. For
years it ranked as the most progres
sive and enterprising city in the state.
It boasted of more metropolitan im
provements than any place of propor
tional population in the land. Much of
this was due to tho Medford bankers.
They built fine bank buildings, encour
aged Industry and development, nnd
inspired and supported the publicity
that thribled the population of . the
region.
Medford, however, has undergone a
change in character which naturally
followed a change in bankers. The
pioneer bankers who helped create the
community have passed or moved
away, and been succeeded: by bankers
of such myopic vision that they, do not
bolievo in publicity either for bunk or
community. Like pawnbrokers, they
figure the less publicity the better.
, A few years ago but few banks ad
vertised. Now all progressive banks
do. , When they do not advertise their
own resources, they advertise, like the
Portland banks, the resources of Uie
community. Gladly and cheerfully they
do their part in furnishing publicity to
develop city nnd country, knowing, that
every dollar brought Into the commu
nity Increases their own profits.,
I Medford Is . a fine city with fino
opportunities especially for livo and
wide-awake bankers to help wake-up
tho city, revive its wilting spirit and
scratch off the moss on its bankers.

GAS is a clean, convenient fuel. It comes into your
house and to the stove in a small, well-concealed p5pe.
Gas fires produce no smoke and their flames can be
perfectly controlled. It is only necessary to open
further a little valve when more heat is wanted. ;
The advantages of brightness and cleanliness in your

I got so bad I had to lie on my back
