Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
"UHAT wl" haPPen" thought
W Jul cltlsen said to thla writer
J yesterdsy, "when people who have
" been without work and therefore
without money begin to earn money
again?"
"Will they SPEND their money,
thui putting It back Into the chan
nel, of trade and ao making busi
ness better, or will they be Inclined
to spend as little as possible and
SAVE A8 MUCH aa possible, ao aa
to be Teady for another rainy day
if It should come?
THE only truthful answer to that
question la this: "Nobody knows."
But If the past is any Indication
of the future, people will begin to
spend again when they begin to earn
again.
WERE you ever badly frightened?
If you ever were, you know that
the shock was pretty severe at the
time.' But you know also that It
wore off pretty quickly. And aa soon
aa the shock of fright wore off you
went back to your old way of doing.
People's natural way of doing la
to spend what they . earn for what
they want. It la a safe assumption
that that Is what they will do again.
IT Is spending that creates busi
ness. We all know thstr In a
community of misers, business would
be persistently bad. '
But It la saving that creates credit,
and without credit business can't
go forward. Credit involves lending,
and unless people save up money
there will b no money to lend.
The thing that will make busi
ness good la the right combination
of wise spending and wise saving. So,
when you begin to earn again, the
thing to do is to save as well as
spend.
EVERY severe depression haa been
followed by a wave of prosperity
greater than any ever known before.
That will be true In this case, as It
haa been true In the past. Most of
us believe that the upswing that
will carry us into thla new wave
of prosperity has started already.
But, whether it haa started already
er not, It WILL atart. And when
this new era of prosperity arrives,
we shall find that It la greater than
any ever known before.
FOLLOWING the depression of the
70s. the nation entered upon a
period of vast railroad building that
made possible the settlement of the
West.
Out of this tremendous develop
ment arose the prosperity that fol
lowed the depression of the 70'a.
,
AFTER the hard times of the 90s
came the Invention and perfec
tion of the automobile, the moving
picture, etc. The rise of these new
Industries, along with others, brought
on another wave of prosperity greater
than anything ever known before.
The prosperity thst followed the
setback of 1921 was based largely on
getting the things we had been
wanting during the war, but had had
y to do without.
SO much for the past. Now what
of the future? It Is the future
we are Interested In.
What is the foundation upon which
the next period of prosperity, the
period that is COMINO, will be built?
HERE la an answer to that ques
tion, which is offered merely
as thla writer's own personal opin
ion, without any weight of author
jpl'y: The next period of prosperity, the
period upon which we are entering,
will be "-d upon putting a smaller
hare of the profits of Industry and
business Into a few BIO pockets and
a larger share into MA NT LITTLE
POCKETS, so thst common, ordinary
people, who make up the vast bulk
of our population, will haT the
money to buy a fair share of the
things they want.
If common, ordinary people, who
make up the vast bulk of our pop
ulation, have the money with whtcn
to buy a fair share of the things
they want, there will be such a de
mand for the products of Industry
t and agriculture that we can't help
having prosperity.

Continued Modernizing Of

mission Costs Increase.
PORTLAND. June 28. (AP) Bids
considerably In excesa of the esti
mates of the state highway engineer,
reflecting the recent Increase in
prices, were received by the state
highway commission here today.
On the Canby-Aurora section nd
north end Aurora-Brooks stretch, bid
on as a unit, the low proposal waa
175.580, submitted by the West
Contract company of Portland. The
low bid on the other unit, comprla
ing the south end of the Aurora
Brooks section, waa $162,987. sub
mitted by Parker Schrara company
of Portland.
Aspii alt lc concrete w&s specified
for paving the distance- of 15.95
ml lea.
C. J. Montag of Portland placed
the low bid of $34,229 for construc
tion of a bridge over the south fork
of the Santlam river on the Albany
Lyons secondary highway.
For the bridge over Mill creek
on The Dalles-Coast secondary road,
O. N. Pierce of Portland waa low
at $8,185.
The commission was asked by a
delegation from southern Oregon to
continue Its "good work" In mod
ernizing the Pacific highway. The
group represented the Pacific High
way association of Southern Oregon,
and pressed for immediate recon
struction of the Siskiyou section.
Those who appeared were C. H. De
maray of Grants Pass, W. C. Hard
ing of Roseburg, S. S. Smith of Med
ford, G. M. Green of Ashland and
Howard Merrtam of Goshen.
A great deal of the morning ses
sion waa devoted to arguments over
location of the Klamath Falls-Weed
highway. The routes have been sur
veyed, one known as the east side
route entrance Into Klamath Falls,
and the other, the west side high
way. The survey indicated the lat
ter would be about one mite 'shorter
and would cost 6T5.000 while the
cast route would cost $684,000.
A protest against any change in
location of the Pacific highway be
tween Junction City and Goshen
was voiced by a delegation from
Lane county, led by C. F. Gtesy. A
petition signed by 800 residents of
the district between 'Eugene and
Creswell was filed. They argued that
Instead of moving the highway to
eliminate the danger of flooding by
high water, the Willamette river
should be diked. The commission
said there waa no immediate pros
pect of a change, although a survey
and further study will be made.

going to try passive resistance. That
means high-sounding codes with
plenty of loopholes.
There are two inside reasons for
this change of heart. One Is the
rapid pickup In business since April.
The scent of fat profits Is hot again
In starved nostrils. Many business
men no longer feel the need to be
rescued and they don't want the
government to horn in on the hunt.
The other reason la the govern
