SX THE same day, there are TWO
- airplane accidents In Portland
one fatal, the other not. Two such
accidents are quite a total for Port
land In one day.
Do these two accidents In one
day In Portland mean that aviation
Is becoming more dangerous? Prob
ably not. It Is more likely that they
mean merely that airplanes are be
coming more numerous.
When planes become as numerous
as automobiles, what will the acci

It seems probable that the stately
trees that border the Quartz Moun

Lakevlew highway will be. cut.
If you are familiar with this beau
tiful section of road, you will agree
that this would be a calamity.
T IS really a pity that congress,
which has wasted so much time
during the present session, could nt
spsre at least time enough to pu
through this wholly worthy bill.
TIERS are some figures that are
interesting, whether encouraging
or not.
During tha last two years, four
out of five of ALL concerns In the
leading fields of American business
have reduced SALARIES,- aud three
out of four have reduced WAGES,
fpHESE reductions have been ap-
piled as follows:
Executive salaries have been re
duced 30.3 per cent; other salaries
have been reduced 15.9 per cent;
wages have been reduced 13.9 per
cent.
That la to say, of each dollar of
their former Income, the HIGHER
UPS have had 30 cents taken away.
Prom each dollar of their former
Income the ordinary run of white
collar workers have had sixteen
cents taken away. And from each
dollar of what they were getting
before, the wage workers have had
fourteen cents taken away.
pHAT, In this writer's Judgment,
Is as it should be In principle,
at least. In times such as these,
. every effort should be made to see
to it that the burden of Income re
duction should fall LIGHTEST upon
those whose Incomes are smallest.
The big Job of the world in tha
next hundred years or so will be to
provide for the little man a larger
share of the comforts and the pleas,
ures of life.
For altogether too many centuries
In the past, the big man "has had
the lion's share of the good things
of this world. That Is one ot the
reasons why business Is now so badly
out of Joint.
V OU read in the papers the other
day that Edward P. Swift, of
the great fir mof Swift & Co., fell
from a high window in Chicago and

SONG OF CRATER
Providing a beautiful word and
musical picture of southern Oregon's
scenic wonder, first copies of "The
Crater Lake Waltz," wrtten and com
posed by Victor A. Tengwald, Med
ford, were received this week. The
song la the first ever published with
the lake as a subject matter and la
the result of long and careful plan
ning. The composer has published songs
in the east and middle west before
coming to Oregon. Upon his first
visit to Crater Lake two years sgo,
he became imbued with the thought
of writing a melody which would do
Justice to the pristine glories of the
ancient sapphire sea.
The waits, also given fox trot adap-
slons, carries a colorful description of
the lamed volcanic lake, with a cho
rus embodying the mystery and
beauty of the blue sea of silence. It
Is to be sung soon as a part of a
radio program of wide coverage.
The chorus Is as follows:
In the hills of Southern Oregon
There's a lake of magic blue;
A wonder of the universe,
'Neath skies of azure hue;
With sunlit sapphire waters
And starlit evening calm,
Crater Lake Is ever calling
To this land of mystic charm.

O. D. Farmer, local manager of the
Greyhound Stages, Ins., appeared be
fore the board to explain the recent
ly alleged attempt of the stage com
pany to discriminate against Pacific
highway travel through offering a
bonus to s gents for sale of tickets on
the Redwoods hlghwsy route.
The bonus was offered to stimulate
trade on the Redwoods highway, he
explained, to prevent the excessively
light travel on the coast route, not
In an attempt to discriminate against
the Pacific highway. The bonus, he
further Informed the board, has been
offered for the past two years and
In no way Interferes with advertising
of the Pacific highway, which is car
ried on extensively by the stage com
pany. In the launching of the new night
coach service, he explained, the Pa
cific highway will receive an unlimit
ed amount of publicity, Medford will
be one of the terminals on the route
and will therefore also be given
prominence In the advertising pro
gram. Since the Inclination of the
people Is to take the Pacific highway
route, It is necessary, he said In con
clusion, for the company to offer
some Incentive to promote a suffici
ent sale of tickets on the coast route
to warrant maintenance of the ser
vice. The Chamber of Commerce board,
following Mr. Farmer's explanation
of the case, decided to get In touch
with L, G. Markel In an attempt to
accomplish some modification of the
order, which would appear less dis
criminatory. Reports were presented the board
by numerous committees last night,
showing that a progressive program

Southern Oregon Normal school was
the main speaker at yesterday's meet
ing of the Medford Rotary Club and
presented an instructive talk upon
the proposed consolidation of Ore
gon's Institutes of higher learning.
Such a move would concentrate all
of the state normal schools at Eu
gene to occupy the buildings vacated
by the University of Oregon which
would be moved to Corvallls and cn-
soliaaled with the present Oregon
State college.
This would work a severe hardship
upon the southern Oregon young peo
ple dealrlng to take normal training
of Junior college courses, according
to the apeaker Inasmuch aa many of
these young people come from faml
llea who are unable to stand the ex
pense of sending them away to
achool.
The curriculum at the Southern
Oregon normal has been carefully
planned to provide for Junior college
work and enables students to take
the first two years of standard col
lege courses In Liberal arts. This has
enabled many local young folka to
begin their college work at nominal
cost and to go on to other colleges

high quality of the educational faci

gon normal which Institution has the
largest enrollment of any of the

SANTA 5I0NICA, Cal., May
31. Now the nlcs tax thing ia
going to pass, jray not pass
this year, for all tho boys are
up for election and they wmt
to hIiow their voter where he is
not to pay anything but as
soon as election is over and
when they got buck in,, they
will go ahead and pass it, for
it's the fairest and easiest to
collect.
No nation that ever tried it
over abandoned it. What's the
difference between a lot of
taxes put on a lot of articles
and n few taxes put, on every
thing but the cheapest necessi
ties, so coino on, Herbert, make
up your mind.
