Twenty-Seventh Year No. 55. Comment on the Day's Nezvs By FRANK JENKINS H ERE are tome flgurea you should find Interesting: Twenty-two per cent of all the cars on Oregon's state highways, on the average, are cars Irom other states. That is to ssy, motorists from OUTSIDE Oregon pay one-fifth of Oregon's gasoline tax. Putting It another way, they maintain one-fifth of our roads. ARS visiting-Oregon from other states travel, on the average, 434,000 miles dally over the state highways of Oregon. That Is more miles than are traveled by outside ears In any other western state. For California the corresponding figure Is 411,600 miles. For Wash ington, It Is 397,700 miles. Why? Well, It must be because there Is more In Oregon to be seen, thus keeping visiting motorists trav eling more steadily. THESE figures are quoted by Ray Conway, In a recent issue of the Oregon Motorist. They are taken from traffic surveys made by the bureau of public roads. It la probable that you have been stopped from time to time along the highways and asked where you were going and how far you had traveled that day. You may even have re sented this questioning, looking upon It aa a bit of needless red tape. But statistics can't be secured without asking questions, and sta tistics are often exceedingly Interest ing, as well as valuable. t ONE trouble with statistics Is that by the time we get them they are becoming old. For example, the latest figures available on income taxpayers In Ger many are for 1928 which Is four yesrs ago. But from these figures we learn that In 1928 there were only 122,000 persons In Germsny, which Is one of the most populous countries of Europe, who earned more than 95,000 a year. It la estimated that the number. Is muoh smsller now. IF Germany hadn't GONE TO WAR back In 1914, It Is extremely probable that In 1928 the number of Germans earning more than (9,' 000 a year would have been many tlmea 122,000. F" Is an Interesting" word, isn't It? If Germany hadn't gone to war In 1914, It Is highly probabl Indeed, It la practically certain that the world-wide depression from which we are all suffering so severely would never have happened. There might have been moderate disturbances to business, but noth ing like the shake-down we- have been going through since 1929. We profit from our mistakes that Is, when we profit at all it is usually because we size up our mistakes and draw conclusions from them. Here' Is the conclusion that OUGHT to be drawn from the world war "It didn't pay. Let's not do It again.' YOU have been reading a lot In the past few days about Amelia Farhart Putnam, the first woman to fly over the Atlantic alone, and have noted, doubtless, thst she Is refer red to oftener than not as "Miss" Earhart. Why? Well, for some reason or other, we have a habit In this coun try of referring to married women who are more famous than their hus bsnds as "Miss" and using their un married namea. Do we feel thst there Is something scsndalous about a married woman being more famous than her hus band, and therefore seek to conceal the fact that shs Is married? Perhaps you csn answer thst ques tion. This writer can't. WHO. by the way. Is this Mr. Put nam who is Miss Earhart 's husband? The answer to that ques tion is rather interesting here in Oregon. He la now a well-known publisher, a member of the firm of O. P. Put nam's Sons. He was formerly the publisher of the Bend Bulletin. CONGRESS, along with taxation, la battling over birth control leg islation, and If you follow the papers you know that the fight Is getting warm. The question isn't whether birth control information a'lall be avail able. It la available now, and la be ing used. The only question Involv ed la whether It shall be LEGAL. Birth control la now In the boot leg stage forbidden by law but sanctioned by public opinion. That 'hat 1 th. long acd tht abort of It.

IN SCANTY DRAPE LONDON, Msy 23. (AP) The church trial of the Reverend H. F. Davidson, 62-yesr old rector of Stiff- key, on charges of Immorality pro duced a sensation today when the prosecution Introduced as evidence a photograph of the clergyman with girl about fifteen years oici, w.no was only partially draped with a shawl. The prosecution Intimated the photograph was taken for publica tion with the Idea a large sum of money could be obtained. Mr. Dav idson Indignantly denied thla and declared he had been trapped. He said the photograph had been taken Just before the opening of his trial. The clergyman said the girl's mother, who was a friend of his, ask ed him to arrange for a picture of her daughter In a bathing suit, to he used to advertise bathing suits. He described himself as a "poor fool of a parson who allowed himself to be trapped Into It." The photograph was taken in the mother's apartment with the mother present, Mr. Davidson said. He ex plained that he was pushed Into the picture with the girl and aaaertea the fact that the shawl with which she waa draped had dropped down was due either to Its having slipped through his hand without his know. edge or Its having been yanked Irom his hand by the photogrspner. Three weeks before the photo graph wss taken, he said, he had been warned he would be trapped, An Impoverished woman was to In vite him to her house and appear unclothed before him. whereupon two detectives would step out and dls cover, them, he testified.
