Only Odds and Ends
The Busy Bonds ; : '
Our 350,000 Criminals
Peasants Would Rule
I By Arthur Brisbane !
(Copyright 1928 ay Star Company)
Not much except odds and
ends of news when this was
written, late yesterday after
; noon. The fatal tracks of the
joil bonds led in new directions.
The name of an important
judge was dragged in. He says
no one sent him any bonds. 1
......
Senator Borah, the great
purifier, got $300 more yester
day, to help pay back the gold
v that Mr. Sinclair handed over.
The republican party must be
purified ,says Borah. Theodore
Roosevelt II sent $ 1 00 to help
purify.
f : "
It is doubtful, however,
whether all the perfumes of
! Arabia or two Anna Held milk
baths could purify the worried
old party.
Being found out is a terrible
thing. Everybody knows that
both big parties take, all the
campaign funds they -can' get.
. The republicans get the bigger
r gifts because their chances .are
usually better, and their mem-
ory for kind words and better
deeds is better.
. It is certain that neither Will
Hays nor any of the big re
publicans knew where the Sin
clair bonds came from. The oil
scandal-had not started when
the bonds were contributed. . -
If Sinclair had offered a
bundle of bonds to the demo
rratic donkey to wipe out cam-
paign expense debts, that in-'
fielligent animal would have
taken them gladly.
However, the elephant got
caught, the donkey did not, so
the donkey feels virtuous.
Speaking of slush funds,
bribes, etc., you should read
the book written by Judge
Kavanagh of Chicago, after 33
years on the bench. Three hun
dred and fifty thousand indi
viduals make their living, part
ly or entirely, py crime in our
happy country, he says. Last
year they contributed 12,000
murders to the nation's news
items.
Public indifference is to
blame, says the judge. Every
country gets as much crime as
its indifference deserves. Judge
Kavanagh favors use of the
whip, because "no crime lead
ers retains (he respect of his
gang after he has winced under
the lash." The moron and rack
eteer feel the cat-o'-nine-tails
more than prison. Our 350000
criminals steal yearly enough to
build the Panama canal."
.
They steal more than that.
And public gambling at race
tracks, another form of crime,
legalized by grafting politicians,
takes from the public each year
enough to build the Panama
canal three times.
More trouble in distressed
Rumania. The peasants want to
rule and the Socialists back
them. Here we have no peas
ant population .although not all
of us know it. Once, the late
George T. Gould, on a tour of
inspection over the Missouri
Pacific, took his family with
him. The mayor, chamber of
rommerce and civic organiza
tions of a small city came to tne
private car, asking for a better
railroad station. t
One of Gould's charming
young daughters, . in while
dress, blue sash and white kid
shoes, said: "It's very nice of
those peasants to come down
and see papa, isn't it?'
We have some millions of
farmers that would like to run
this country, partly, but they
don't know how to go about
it. No real organization, for one
thing. Next fall they will get
wonderful promises and then
think it over four years more.

Roseburp's
PROJECT NOT COSTLY
Wednesday, Mnrch 28, the voters of Roseburg will go to
the polls in a special city election to consider - the issuance of
$23,000 in bonds for the purchase and improvement of an air
port for Roseburg. '
There nnpenrs to be little opposition to tho 'protect, but yet
there are to be heard some people arguing aeainst the proposi
tion, some of whom have in the past been always and forever
arraved against anything thnt might appear to be for the bene
fit, development and advancement of the city. There are oth
ers ho from misunderstanding of facts are sincerely opposed
to the project, who if thev were not misled or hnd a complete
and full understanding of the proposition would undoubtedly
be of a different mind. !- ' '
One of the chief arguments heard, and one that has the
least foundation, is that the project is too expensive and that
the cost of the land is too high.
Many people seem to have the idea thnt it is planned to
spend the entire $25,000 for the prooetty. This is not the case.
Umpqua Post of the American Legion that has sponsored
this project h secured an option on 140 acres to be used for
the airport. This field can be purchased for $100 per acre, or
a total of $14,000. The remainder. $1 1,000. it to be used to
imnrove and equip the field to bring it up to a point where it
will be ready- for use as a first class airport.
Those who are familiar with Innd values know that the
price for which this property can be secured is extiemely low.
The land is assessed on the county records at $f)0 per acre and,
