Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
PORTLAND wants a ahort road to
the beaches. Tha atato highway
commission la perfectly willing to pick
tha route lor auch a road, but an
nounces that actual construction will
have to watt, because of lack of
money.
We are beginning to reach the
point, you see, where we want to
know where the money la coming
trora before we apend It.
THERE Is agitation more than
usual, apparently, thla year for
S3 license fee.
Chairman Scott, of the highway
commission, says: "If we go to a 3
license fee, highway development will
be at an end." By that, he meanB
that there won't be enough to go
around.
Aa to that, of course, he la right.
So It Is going to be up to us to choose
between lower license fees and more
and better roads.
11 ANY people ask:
"If California
111 i
I and Washington can get along
on a license fee of 3, why can't Ore
gon?" Both Washington and California,
aa you know, have more cars than
Oregon, so a smaller 'fee producea more
money. But IN ADDITION to a li
cense fee of $3 both California and
Washington levy a property tax
against automobiles.
On NEW CARS, the combination of
the license fee and the property tax
(about equals the license fee In Ore
gon. On old cars, It la less.
That la to say, the California and
Washington aystems favor the owners
of old cars.
BUT don't get the Idea that the 3
fee la the only tax paid by ownere
of cars In Washington and California.
That Isn't true.
THE United Statea Steel Corpora
tionknown aa "Big Steel'.' by
those who watch the stock market
appropriates five million dollars for
replacements and Improvement of
equipment In its various plants.
Thla Improved equipment la ex
pected to be needed to meet the de
mands that will follow business re
covery when It comes.
The fact that Big Steel Is getting
ready now Indicates Its belief that
business recovery Isn't far off.
---
PHE general belief, Incidentally,
X among well Informed men la that
business recovery will begin to be
come really apparent about -next
spring. It la expected that there will
be aome Improvement In fundamental
conditions thla fall, but with winter
coming on this Improvement Is not
expected to be felt In the way of more
Jobs and more money to spend until
about next aprlng.
rOU will recall, of course, the fa-
1 mous answer given by the late
Pwlght W. Morrow when asked when
business would begin to Improve. He
replied: "About three to six months
before anybody realizes It.
By that he meant to say that It
must necessarily be quite a while after
Improvement begins before the Im
proved condition of business becomes
apparent to the general run of us
that Is to say, before the general run
of ua begin to Jingle a . little more
money In our pocketa,
That ALWAYS HAS been true In
the past, and quite certainly will be
true this time.
WHT must time elspse before Im
provement In business condi
tions becomes generally apparent?
Well, here la a simple Illustration:
When a heavy rain finally comes
after a long drouth, Its effect la hardly
to be noticed after the first day or
two. The ground seems to be Just aa
dry aa ever, and the dust seems to
blow as freely as before.
It la only after It has rained long
enough to soak the ground thoroughly
that we KNOW the drouth la ended.
After a long drouth, there are plenty
of cracks In the ground to soak up
the water.
r' IS much the same after a long
period of hard times.
People have apent their surplus
money. Meet of them have gone Into
debt. Just aa the water from the
first raina. after a long drouth, runs
Into the cracks and dlsappeara with
out apparently having produced any

tractor, with a bid of 973.05T, waa

Residents of the Tiller district In

MOJAVE, Cal., Aug. 25.
The old desert the more you
gee it the more you can under
stand folks really loving it,
It's a great health giver to
many a disabled soul. It's just
like a lot ot folks, it never had
n chance. The minute you give
it any water it grows more
stuff than all your fertile land.
The old boys sitting a way
out here, it don't look like they
have to worry whether Mr.
Hoover's letter to the drys will
keep them in line or Mr. Roose
velt's retaining Walker will
help Hold Tammany in tow.
Their living has got to come
from a well and a pump, and
not from any political patron
age, so these fellows escape all
that political "hooey" that
hits us every four years.'
Yes, sir, when we retire from
active life, it's the senate or
the desert, and by golly I be
lieve I will go to the desert.
