BY OSSVSA FIGURES
Tony fewer persons lest their lives
In automobile accidents during the
first nine months of 1935 than
during the same period last year,
according to oftlclal state figures
announced recently by the Oregon
State Motor association, sponsor ol
, the state-wide "Let's Quit Killing
safety campaign.
The motor association pointed out
that of the 24 persons killed tn Ore
gon In September, four were in
Jackson county. The county con
tributed no deaths In September.
1034. when the total was also 24
fatalities.
Despite Oregon's failure to show
a reduction In fatal automobile ac
cidents in September, the number
' of persons killed since the first ol
the year shows a decrease of about
18 per cent. During the first nine
months of 1934 there were 225 fa
talities, while at the end of the
samo period this year the number
was 185.
"It- Is gratifying to see that safety
work Is having a definite effect."
said W. R. McDonald, director of the
motor association In charge of safety.
"I believe every perscn and every
organization playing b part In the
fight to save lives can feel that
their efforts have been rewarded.
"It Is Interesting to note that
had. the same rato of Increase existed
this year that existed In the first
nine months of 1934, the traffic
toll would have been 306 lives. The
first nine months In 1934. It will
be remembered, brought a 36 per
cent Increase in deaths over 1933.
"Safety work. I firmly believe, was
not only responsible for halting the
Increase, but was a major factor In
bringing about n actual reduc
tion." Following is a month by month

FDR'S BACKING OP
NORRIS FLAYED AS
RADICAL ACTION
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. (AP)
Col. Frank Knox, Chicago publisher
and Republican presidential possibil
ity, said here today that President
Roosevelt's endorsement of Senator
Norrls (R., Neb.) wns consistent with
the course under which he, had
"abandoned hla own party program
and taken up the radicals' program."
Knox was here for the week end
visiting his wife, who has established
a winter residence here. He refused
to discuss politics generally, or his
own plans for 1936.
"It Is not at all surprising that the
president should endorse Senator
Norrls. Just as he has Senator La Fol
lette of Wisconsin." Knox said, "be
cause on the face of things It Is ob
vious he thinks much as they do.
"But It leaves the Democrats In
Wisconsin and Ncnraska as orphans
in the storm. They are feelinft it
very keenly. I know about Wiscon
sin because it is a neighboring state.
I suspect the Democrats In Nebraska
feel much tho same way.
"The president's program Is no
longer Democratic but radtcal. The
president has abandoned his own
party program and taken up the radi
cals' program. This Is consistent with
his own program, but not the pro
gram on which he was elected."

SENATE POLITICS
COST STATE COIN,
BIG CAPITOL SITE
ASTORIA, Ore.. Nov. 16. (API
Senator Frank Franclscovlch of Asto
ria told the Astoria chamber of com
merce ihat "poll teal jockeying" by
the senate failed, and as a result Ore
gon's new capitol will be on the old
site Instead of a larger site.
He said the senate at the special
legislative session, wanted two blocks
to the north added to the present
site, so to cut down the approprta
tlon from i3.500,000 to 3.50O.0OO to
use as a "lever" to gain a. site eo&
cesslon from the house.
"Unfortunately the Marlon county
delegation tn the house, counted on
to oppose the low appropriation, be
came alarmed as the session's end ap
proarhed and. fearing there might b
no capitol bill at all, passed the sen
ate measure," Senator Franclscovlch
said.
"As a result, taxpayers will probably
later have to ralso more money to
complete furnishing and equipping
of the capitol building and pay dollar
for dollar, whereas if the $3,900,000
appropriation had passed, 45 cents
on the dollar on the added added
million would have come through a
federal grant.''

On October 31 ol laat year, Henry Ford
announced his intention to build a million
Ford V-8s in 1935. We are pleased to report
that this goal was reached in exactly ten
months instead of a full year.
One million cars and trucks is an impressive
total But figures by themselves mean noth
ing. It is what they represent that counts.
Selling a V-8 at a low price has brought a
new kind of automobile within reach of the
people. Producing it has provided steady
work for hundreds of thousands of men in the
Ford plants, in associated industries and on
the farm.
These million Ford V- 8 cars and trucks have
helped to make things better all around. In
the first ten months of 1935 the Ford Motor
Company paid out, in the United States alone,
$140,119,326.00 in wages and $523,111,389.00
for materials.
