Comment
on the
Day 9s News-
By IBANK JENKINS.
IN LESS than a week from the time
these words are tead, the election
will he over and the results will be
known. Will you be glad or sorry?
Thl writer, for one. will be glad.
Certainty la always better than sus
pense. In the past few weeks, the
outcome of the election hai caused a
lot of suspense, and suspense la always
bad for business.
THIS WRITER, aa often stated in
this column, expecta to vote for
Hoover, bellevea that election 01
Hoover will inspire more confidence
In the business future than election
'Of Roosevelt.
Business has always had more con
fidence In the Republican party than
In the Democratlo party possibly be
cause of the tariff tradition.
And confidence, above everything
else, Is what we need right now.
BUT thla writer, who expecta to vote
for Hoover, doesn't propose to
fall Into the habit of thinking that
if Roosevelt la elected all Is lost. This
la a great country, with great possi
bilities. These possibilities won't all
be destroyed by the election of Roose
velt.
OENATOR William E. Borah, speaJs-
aj Ing at Emmctt, Idaho, tella bis
hearers;
"If you could solve the question of
lowering your taxes and finding a
market for your products, you could
work your own way out of thla de
pression."
Theres a lot of truth In that state
rnent.
fJOW will these questions be solved?
(1 By voting, do you reckon?
Probably not. Voting Is too easy.
If we could solve all the problems
that vex us merely by going to the
polls and voting, life would be
rather simple affair.
Unfortunately, we can't do It.
UOW will the problem of lowering
XX taxes, which Is a very Important
problem, be solved? By the promises
' of men who want to get Into office?
Again, with due deference to the
men who are doing the promising,
most of whom are sincere, we must
answer: "Probably not."
When taxes are reduced, It will be
done by a lot of serious-minded men
who get together and decide that
something has to be done.
AS FOR finding' markets for our
products, that will be done by
capable men who find that they can
tnaka a little money for themselves
by doing It.
After all, most of our REAL progress
ti brought about by men who find
new ways of making money for them
selves.
Don't lose eight of that fact. It
H the hope of making a profit that
spurs men on to do really big and
Important things.
IT WAS the hope ot making a profit,
for example, that led men to build
the first railroads Into the West, and
If It hadn't been for the railroads
that were built Into It the West would
still be a wilderness, Inhabited by
Indians and roamed over by. the buf
falo. TOTAL expenditures of the Oregon
Highway Commission for the com
ing two-year period, we read, are to
be reduced about 7,80O,OO0, or ap
proximately 25 per cent.
That doesn't tinkle pleasantly In
our ears. We like to read of IN
CREASING highway expenditures,
with the prospect of more employ
ment and more roads to travel.
But don't forget that If you take
more water out of a barrel than runs
back Into It the barrel will become
EMPTY In time. And so It Is with
highway funds. We cant take out
' more than we put back in we can't,
thst Is, without getting Into trouble.
IT WOULD be fine if we could go on
1 building hlzhwavs here In Oregon
on the same scale In the future as in
the past. But with revenues declin
ing, we can't do that. We shall have
to cut our garment according to the
cloth, and the able business men who
compose the Oregon highway commis
sion, realize that fact.

ON LAKE CUTOFF
Diamond Lake Road District
and Power Company to
Ask Authority to Locate
Route for Connection
HOSEBURO, Ore., Nov. 3. AP)
Another step toward construction of
the proposed Roseburg-Dlamond Lake
highway up the North Umpqua river
has been taken here by the reaching
of an accord between the California
Oregon Power company and the
North Umpqua-Dlamond Lake road
district, whereby the federal power
commission will be Jointly asked for
authority to survey and locate the
road to connect with the existing
forest road extending to Steamboat
Creek ranger station, 45 miles east
of this city.
Power company officials and high
way district trustees announced here
today that the company has agreed
to modify Its power development
plans so as to eliminate projects be
low Steamboat Creek Junction with
the river and to confine its activities
to the eastwnrd point of Toketee
Falls and. locations In the upper Cas
cade region.
Plans Altered
Power and road plans above the
falls do not conflict. The power
company's plans originally called for
erection of dams below Steamboat
Creek, that would have forced loca
tion of the paralleling highway from
the river bench to high hillsides,
where suitable grades and alignment,
It was declared, could not be secured.
As the land Involved is included in
power withdrawals, consent of the
federal power commission to the sur
vey, and location change Is required.
The road, when established, will re
duce the distance from Roseburg to
Eastern Oregon points by 84 miles
and will provide an east and west
route through the Cascades which
could be kept open for ail-year travel.
For several years a special road
tax has been levied in Roseburg and
vicinity, comprising the affected road
district, and funds thus accumulated
will be used in co-operation with the
federal bureau of public roads In the
survey and construction.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Mrs.
Rogers and I looked out o our
window late Monday and Mr.
Hoover was coming into our
hotel for tho night. He is on
some Clinutnuqua circuit and
was sneaking in some hall here
last night. Wall Street is bet
ting two and a half to ens sn
Roosevelt. That's a bad omen
for the Democrats, for "Wall
Street hnsn't been right In
three years.
You can hear anything yon
want around here about the
outcome, depending on who
you talk to, Democrat or Re
publican. Tilson, Republican
leader of the housej told me
"We got everything east of
the Ohio river and north of the
line," (meaning the Mason and
Dixon). Admiral f!rysnn says
"Only way the Democrats can
lose is to kcII out." So take
your choice.
