Can It be possible that our Jails are not what they have been cracked up to be? Practically everybody who has gone to Jail in the last few years has made no complaint at all. EverT American wlw doesn't get what he wants Immediately seta up a howl. We had therefore, the best reason for supposing that Jails were quite all right. And now here comes along a lot of Jail guests who try to burn up the place and get loose. If they hsd been week-enders we could hare understood It. How ever. It msy have been Just an accident. Quite possibly the hot water was turned of. or the house maid forgot to spread enough blan kets at night before she wnt off on a Joy ride.

I 4&4U lt BtftiJ, MEMBER . JNR.A, w Why the Opposition? A CCOJiDING to reports from Salem, vigorous opposition is developing against the administration'! proposed county unit school bill. The measure will probably be introduced Wednesday. It is difficult to see, why this bill should meet with serious opposition. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Where the county unit has been tried, a in Klumuth county and elsewhere, it has been a decided success. The efficiency of school administration has been raised; expense has been reduced. Proponents of the measure maintain that if this plan were universally adopted in the state, it would mean a saving to the tax-payers of nearly half a million dollars. Certainly with the expense of education in the state such a perplexing problem, a move like this toward economy would appear highly desirable. TPO date the main objection to the unit plan has been from small rural communities, which are jealous of their inde pendence, and do not wish to submit to any outside control. Such a stand, to say the least, is rather old fashioned. It is an echo from an educational era that has ditions of good roads, improved communication and transporta tion, the problems of education within a county are common problems. From the standpoint of greater efficiency and greater economy, cooperation, coordination and standardization are im perative. LI OWEVER, even if the objections to the county unit plan, were well taken, it would still be difficult to understand why the particular bill, introduced at Salem should meet with any vigorous opposition. For the measure, if passed, would not FORCE any county to adopt the unit plan. It would merely give the voters within a county the right to decide the question for themselves. Home rule would neither be abrogated nor impaired. Only in those counties where a majority favored the unit plan, could it be adopted. With the success of the county unit plan, a matter of record, we fail to see any valid objection to giving the people of every county in the state, at least the privilege of DETERMINING FOB THEMSELVES, whether they wish to adopt Ci- reject it.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS "pHE Townsend old-age pension plan, which proposes to pay all persons over 60 ft pension of 1200 a month, with the provision that the 200 must ALL be spent within the month, has made Its appearance In congress, and component political obervers indicate that It has i chance to pass. If you want a measure of the prog reas of unsound economic thinking in this country, there it Is) ERE art some cold facts: t Census records Indicate that there are some ten million people over 60 In this country. Two hun dred dollars a month Is 92400 a year, Ten million times 2400 Is 24 billion. That Is to say, It would take 24 'BILLION dollars a year to pay the Townsend plan old age pensions. OUT It this way: Paying the Townsend old age pensions would be roughly equiva lent to paying off the national debt every year. SOME more figures: Total national Income In 1029 was estimated at about 00 billion dollars. What It Is now Is unknown. Some gueses run aa low as 30 billion dollars. Other guesses run upwards of 50 billions. For this purpose of this compari son, let us put It at 48 billions. which la probably high. Paying the Townsend plan pen sions. In other words, would take HALF the national Income LOOK at this way: There are roughly 120 mil lion people In this country. There are estimated to be approximately ten million people over the age of 00, and therefore eleglble to receive Townsend plan pensions. If the Townsend plan thould be come a law, ONE-HALF of the na tional Income would be turned over to ONE-TENTH of the people. THE Townsend plan originated In Los Angeles, where Almee 8cm- ple McPherson got her start. It's author Is Dr. F. E. Townsend. a 68-year-old country physician. Asked where the money to pro vide the 24 billions a year would come from. Dr. Townsend speaks vaguely of a 10 per cent sales tax. When reminded that ft 10 per cent sales tax on present volume of busi ness would produce less then one- sixth of the sum needed, he answers that the spending of the 24 billions by the ten million pensioners would produce such vast prosperity that a tax of 24 billion dollars ft year would be a mere drop In the bucket. IT'S the old, old story, you see. that we can SPEND OURSELVES RICH. The hard, cold experience of centuries tells us that we can't spend ourselves rich, but Dr. Townsend as sures us blandly that we can. - TpHE Townsend plan has become ft national Issue. Petitions sup porting It, and calling for Its enact ment Into law, have been circulated throughout the country, and It Is said on what authority this writer doesn't know that these petitions contain 30 MILLION names. WHEN 30 million names or even half that number. can be se cured on petitions calling for enact ment into law of aa wild ft scheme as the Townsend plan, it certainly gives us a picture of the extent to which wild thinking has spread In this once hard-headed country. It gives also an Idea of why people who have a little money are afraid to Invest It. (Continued f.om page one) which do not have some kind of social Insurance.

CHEAP AIRMAIL TO SERE Six Million Flying Miles Will Be'Linked by Three-Cent Per Half Ounce First Class Service in 1937 LONDON (AP) Six million fly ing miles of the British empire will be linked by a three-cent per half ounce first class airmail In 1037, says the British air ministry.

The scheme has been given careful consideration, and negotiations have been under way with the dominions for many months. The air ministry. postofflce and Imperial airways have cooperated closely. An Integral part of the plan Is ft comprehensive program for ground organization of air routes on & basis which will enable services to cater for passengers as well as mail traf fic, and operate by night as well as by day.

Despite the contemplated shorten ing of time schedules over empire routes when th new postage rate goes Into effect, Britain's commercial air services will concentrate on tons per mile and not on miles per hour.

It's a novel craft being built In Boston University's department of aeronautics with the collaboration of Lieut. Arthur O. B. Metcalf.

It will be flown aa easily by ft novice aa a skilled pilot flies ft con ventional plane. It Is expected that ft single afternoon will be enough to teach a beginner to handle thl new ship with perfect safety. "This new plane will entirely elim inate the need for ft highly developed sense of co-ordination and flying in stinct," says the lieutenant. "This new development will not detract from the efficiency or speed of the plane." Lieutenant Metcalf believes many accidents attributed to poor piloting are due to defects in design, and that these may be eliminated with out radical changes.
