TEMPER ATL'BE Hl(het yesterday .. 81 LnuMt tprday 50 are MHGEB Comment on the ' Day's News By FRANK JENKINS IN May of this year 7371 non-resident motor vehlclee were regie tered In Oregon, aa compared with 8451 la.t year-a gain of 930, or about 15 per cent. These figure have Just been given out by the office of the secretary of state. TON-RESIDENT motor vehicles IN Is a fancy term for what most of ua call tourist care, and these figures. If they are accurate, mean that the number of tourist cars entering Oregon In May of thla year waa somewhat larger than the numbering entering In May of last year. That, la Interesting, If true. SO much for May. which ahowe an Increaae on the face of official figures. The first five months of 1933 tell a different story. In the flrat five months of 1933. the total number of non-resident motor vehicles registered In Oregon was 1B.800. In the corresponding five months of last year, the total waa 31,355. That la to say. the number of tourist care entering Oregon In the first five monthe of thla year shows a DECREASE of 3465. or about 13 per cent, from last year'a figure. In other words, fewer tourlsta have been on the road this spring than laat. ' BUT, If you like to look on the bright aide rather than the dark, note thla: For the first five months of thla year the number of tourist enter ing Oregon shows a decrease of 13 per cent, whereas for the month" of May alone an INCREASE of 15 per cent la shown. Tourist business, you see, was WORSE in the e"ly p,rt cf the year, but la getting BETTER now. THAT 1 Interesting, because it check with general condltlona. ALL business was undoubtedly worse In the earlier montha of 1933 than In the corresponding months of 1932. but began to Improve In May In comparison with laat year. The conclusion seems to be that tourist travel rlaea and falla Tilth business conditions. If, aa expected, business conditions Improve materially thla fall, we ahall aee a material Increase In tourist travel. IF there la a material Increase In tourist travel, more new money will be left with us, which will pass from hsnd to hsnd and so help to increase the general volume of busi ness. There Is sn Idea abroad that only hotels, restaurants, service statlona and garagea benefit from tourist pending, but this la not true. The tourist dollar that la spent with these Institutions soon finds Its way Into the general channela of trade, and EVERYBODY gets a chance at It. . The dollar that la spent with the hotel, for example, la RE-SPENT by the hotel for food, labor, rent, lights, etc., and eo finds Ita way out Into the community. The same Is true of th dollsr spent with the restau rant, the service station and the gange. AS usual, the movement of non resident motor vehicles, or tour ist care this year la chiefly from the aouth. During May. the number registered at Ashland. Grants Pass, Medford and Klamath rails, all of which clearly came from the south, waa 3258. wherea' the number reg istered at Portland. Huntington, La Grande. Baker and Pendleton, which clearly came from the north, was only 1042. California remalna the great source of tourist travel on thla coast, and since Southern Oregon la nearest to California It standi to profit more from tourist travel, when It beglna to revive, than any other part of Cream. Tnures collected in the past Indi cate that 60 per cent of the tourtat cars entering Oregon from the aouth never get father north than Rose mirg SAN FRANCISCO June 34 (AP) H A.

Will Boost Movement The Industrial regulation and public works administrations were muaterlng their atrength to put it behind the upward push which busi ness la already making. Thirty tentative codea providing for Increased wages and greater em ployment were reported today to have been submitted to Hugh S. Johnson, hesd of the National Recovery ad ministration, exclusive of the textile code upon which hearings will be started Tuesday. However, the ten major Industries upon which Johnson counted to lead In the Industrial regulations move ment were not prominent In the list of those submitting codes. In Chicago, the coal operators from eleven middle western atatea were considering what minimum wage and maximum hour terms to present to Johnson and In New York steel op eratora conferred upon the question. Walt Hearings There were definite Indications, though, that many industrial loaders preferred to await the hearings upon textiles before completing their codea. Prom this hearing over which Qeneral Johnson Is to preside, they hope to get a clear cut Idea of the adminis tration's attitude, particularly aa to what business la to obtain as com pensation for lncroaslng wages and spreading employment. 10 LEARN BENEFIT STABILIZING LAWS SALBM, June S4. W Ths federal department of agriculture haa re quested w. A. Schoenfeld of Oregon state college to go to Washington to study stabilization and other features of the new agricultural adjustment act to prepare him for advisor to Ore. (ton growers and packera. Senator Charles L. McNary today advised local growers and cannera of the depart ments request. Orowera and a majority of the pack era here announced they were coop erating in an attempt to Invoke the law to stabilize prlcea on canned fruits and berries to permit cannera to pay growera higher prlcea. Opening prlcea on canned cherrlea, loganberries, pears and prunes quot ed by one large Willamette valley cannery are so law, competing pack er, assert, that they will not permit payment to the growera equal to the cost of production. An appeal to Senator McNary was made by growers who declared they could not accept the "poverty prlcea" offered for their products. Aa a result MrNsry obtslned permission for Scho enfeld to go to Washington to study the measure and fit himself for an advisor. Through lack of Information aa to the detailed provlslona of the act. growers were uncertain whether It could be invoked beneficially on thla yar-a early eropa, some of which are nearly ready to harvest. Protesting growera have been ad vised by local packers thst prevailing low offerlncs for raw fruits and ber ries have been forced by the action of the Ray Muling company in quot ing cut prlcea on canned gooda for future delivery, forcing them to meet the competition. Opening prlcea quoted by the Mal ing company, together with possible offerings to growers on that baala, are aa followa: Bsrtlett peara, .1 95 per dozen cans. 10 per ton to growers: prunes. cents a doaen, or tin a ton to grow era: Loganberries, 07 cents to al a down cana, IVi eenta a pound to growera.

It seems the ex-deneral Jumped In to tne coordinating bualnesa aa If he was atlll running the army. He ripped tne country Into sections with hi own pocket knife, He named old army pals aa deputy assistant administra tors. Division chiefs were chosen without consulting any politicians It waa purely a one man ahow. That It It waa until Mr. Roosevelt heard about It. Now Johnaon I, an Industrial cor poral Instead of a cncrat. . That la the real Inside reaaon why Mr. Roosevelt suddenly selected a committee from his cabinet to take charge of things. The bosses now are Commerce Secretary Roper and In terior Secretary Ickea. Roper la hand ling the Industrial aetup offatage. Ickea controls the public works fea ture, although no on Is aupposed to know about It. Johnaon Is not permitted to turn around without asking them. The restraint la naturally Irksome to him. He called a cabinet committee meeting recently to get authority to do something of no importance. Af terward he whlapered to Roper that the arrangement waa silly. He sug gested they only call meetings on Im portant matters. Roper cautioned him about the Presidents orders. Johnaon reluc tantly agreed. The Incident illustratea how com pletely Mr. Roosevelt dominates the Washington picture. His friends whisper that ha appre ciates what a dangerous thing It Is to exert ao much power. He apparent ly Is aafeguardlng It with aa many checks and balances aa possible. If Johnson haa any idea of resign ing he haa suppressed It. As a good soldier he can take orders as well aa give them. Hla personality somewhat resembles that of Dawea. He la an Ideal man for his Job. Johnaon had gone ao far In ruling the Industrial board that he named Donald Sawyer aa "deputy coordina tor." Sawyer waa Introduced by that title to photographera who took hla picture with Johnson. The White House later boldly ap pointed Sawyer aa administrator of the public works section.
