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

soclatea but It haa important slgnltl'
cance.
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

'says:
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.,
June 24 There is one line of
bunk that this country falls for
and always has: "We ara look
ing to America for leadership
during the conference. She haa
a great moral responsibility. "
And we, like a big simp, just
eat it up. Our delegates swell
out their chests and really be
lieve that the world is just
hanging by a thread and the
American delegates control
that thread.
Why, they didn't discover ns
till 1492, and the world has had
1492 wars and 1492 peace and
economie conferences all before
we was ever heard of. England
controls all the oceans, half the
land, over half the world's in
ternational commerce. France
is no babe in arms. Japan and
Russia are of age. Yet it's
America they kid into thinking
she is the whole cheese.
