Legislature Pay.
TpODAY I ft us consider the meiis
uru on the January ',',1 speda!
election ballot dealing with com
petiHutfon of members of I he legis
lature, a prupoHuil constitutional
amendment.
In the voters pfimphli-t, the puni
firiiph about thin proponed utuefiil
inent rends: "1'urpnno: To umeiid
Article IV, section 2'J, of thu con
stitution to provide that members
of the legislature Hhall retrieve
such compensation as may be pro
vlded by law Instead of, an at pres
ont, receiving $3 u dity but not
inure than $120 for any one hch
Hlon, and $3 for every 20 miles
travelled In going to and returning
from the place of meeting on the
most usual route, the presiding of
ficers of the legislature receiving
?5 per day; extra sessions, still, uh
now, not to continue lunger than
20 days each.
The plmiso "compensation uh
may ho provided by law" means
that thn legislature may puss u law
for mich compensation us It may
boo fit.
The Newii-Iteviow In not willing
to end or no this propoKul. Admit
tedly, the couipenttalion of $3 u day
pltiH mileage Ih not enough, but to
leave tho subject open to discua
Rlon and action at each new ses
hIoii does not Heeni the proper way
of solving thu problem. The people
bavo turned down thin proposal,
presented In vnrloiiK forum, a num
ber of tltnoH before. The present
suggestion will doubtless ulso ho
turned down.
The argument in favor of this
proposed amendment takes two
lines. Oiio that thorn Is ntnpltv
check to previ-nt tho legislature
from paying Itself too much. Thft
' other Is thnt tho quality of the hg
Mature would be Improved by pay
ing tho nieinboiH more money.
Tho rirst of thos- argumenls
needs little discussion. Our objec
tion Is that limn would bo re
quired at each Houston to settle
the compensation and It Is entirely
likely thnt Iho compensation would
vary and change with each now
session. That would ho an unde
sirable situation.
The argument that (lie quality
of the membership won hi hi; im
proved Ik not sound. The iirgiuut-nt
Ih a reflet tiou upon (he quality of
tho present legislature, which, grn
rrally speaking Is very good. The
News-Iteview docH not believe lor
one mohiciil (hat t.ie addition of a
few, or even several dolhu-s to the
pay of leglhlatoiH would attract
better candidates and ho make for
a better legishiline. Such service
Ik not genent'ty measured in dol
bits. The tdule highway coinmls
flion and various other boards and
rounuisidoiis serve entirely without
pay ami the ipialily of the mem
bership (if these bodies is without
question.
The lefjffdutorn of Oregon re
colvo the lowest per diem of any
legislative body In the lulled
Stales. The coinpeiiHation should
bo Increased so Hurt members do
not make financial Hintfice In ol
der to serve the st.tle. In our npln
Ion. however, the cored it uMoinl
amendment offered tn the comnie
election is not a raHf-farim uav
of sohing tin problem and lliere
lore should hu rejected.

LOVE DENIED

CHAPTFH XXIX
Kent was haiiplly unnwaro of
his slatus of hero. Hu would have
been embarrassed and annoyed if
he had known. Hut he was having
a good time. lie had Sharlene at
last and a new zest for all the
sports.
ft was a golf tournament which
took them to New Orleans some
lime later. Sharlene slipped away,
during an afternoon when Kent
was not playing, lo prowl about by
herself In the old French quarter.
He preferred to trail the players
over tho green.
She left the taxfcab on Canal
street and drilled down Chartres
on Tout into the heart of ancient
dreams. The old town drowsed un
der a warm sun. The sad and pit I-
fnl decay of ancient splendor was
all about her. . . . (ihosts of peo
ple, who had been very rirh, very
gay, lu panniers find red-heeled

now? What mattered their rush
ing about in pursuit of pleasure.

versions.' . . . She drilled into an
antique shop and pored over exqui
site hand-painted French tans.

eihke throat. The things they bad
left behind. . . .
tint in the street nuain, walkiim
idly down Toulouse, she slopped to
admire a fan window. A young
man. bareheaded, smoking a pipe,
sauntered down the street toward
her, lowed by an active little wire
haired pup. The young man stop
ped casually beside Sharlene and
regarded the window with the af
t'oiiioiiato interest of a proprie
tor. "Very nice," he pi ouounced II,
"but hae you seen Ihe Ian win
dows in the Claiborne House pa
tio ?"
Sharlene glanced al nun and re
plh d in his own plra.-aut casual
key: "No. I haven't, ventured into
these patios, except Iho Arts and
Crafts one."
"Then you must come to the
Claiborne House the Art league's
there, too. Interested in art?"
"Oh. yes." she laid with spon
taneous enthusiasm.
The young man smiled with
growing eagerness. He could not
fail to see that she was a tourist
with money to spend. He conduct
ed her first thioiigh the Oaiborne
Htmse flaps toned porte-cochere to
the rear garden wall. Then he
hade her turn around and look up.
'there were very beautiful fan
windows, and wild ferns grew lu
i he chinks surrounding them.
Then Shailene found herself be
ing taken chumniily around lo
vaiious studios lu Ihe building.
She admired endless colorful
paintings which were exhihtird to
her art studies of patios, stair
was, oy -;ier luggers in the bayou,
the idd French market.
The young man turned out to be
Peter llartt.
Several artists followed them
when he took Sharlene to his own
studio. She admired bis work and
pelted his dog. and felt ery happy
and al home.
"You'll want to look closely M
this." Haiti said as he handed her
an uufianied canvas. He had paint
ed an iron lace balcony silhouetted
in the torcgiotiud, and through It
oue looked down ou the dreamy,
euu-iireiK'Utod etreet.
"Ready, boys?"
"Hartl's detail on that grille,"
volunteered one of the other art
ists, "reminds me of the Rem
braudtebque manner of Stuart Pen
nington "
"Oh!" exclaimed Sharlene invol
untarily. Did you see some of his
stuff?" The artist glanced ut her
interestedly.
"Yes, oh, yes," stammered Shar
lene in confusion.
' "What became or him? He was
almost a sensation a couple of
years ago, but he hasn't done any
thing since."
Sharlene was silent, her face
scarlet. She pretended to he study
ing the picture In her hands.
"Oh," Peter llartt said careless
ly. "I heard he married a rich
wife. Ot course, that was the end
of him."
Tears blurred SharJeno's eyes
suddenly. She was thinking fierce
ly, "It shall not be the end of
him!" Always when she thought
of Stuart, it was with tho fervent
hope t hat he was working again
and was happy,
"That's what happens," (mid a
lean and hungry palnler, "when
there's no longer any incentive to
make money. A fellow gets fat
and lazy."
Sharlene could not bear to hear
Stuart maligned for something
which was so entirely her own
fault.
"I " she said desperately, "I
think, I'll buy this picture. Please
sentd il to the St. Charles. I'll
make oul a check. How much?"
"Well," said Hart with trepida
tion, hut daring heeauso of the
tears in her eyes, "I hoped to gel
three hundred lor It but "
"Three hundred dollars," Shar
lene repeated uloud, as she wrote
tho check.
She handed It to llartt. smiled
swiftly at the others and hurried
out. Tho artist-salesman was too
petrified with the ease and sudden
ness of the deal to accompany her
to the stre. ;. He stared stupidly at
tne door through which she had
vanished.
Who is she?" asked one of the
men curiously.
llartt glanced down at the check.
'Sharlene Mamerell." he read.
"Hamerell? Mamerell?" T h e
one who had seen Stuart's work
searched his memory. Then his
faeo cleared. "Sharlene Mamerell
she was Sharlene Siandrinc and
she married the painter, Petinim,
ton" "What!"
'The tich wife and wo said'
"Yes! Sho divorced Pennington. 1
I remember no.v. and married
I 'anierell. '
They stared at each other
astounded.
Mailt laughed suddenly. "And 1
thought she was moved lo tears
over the heauiy of my picture!
Hah ! Well, anyway, she didn't '

check gleefully. I

W hen Knit got back to Ihe hotel

"Isn't tl lovely. Kent?"
"I h huh. here d he get the

"Kent, haven't you ever been

tius

"Let's go to Antolne's for din
ner and I'll show you the loveliest
balcony you eve: saw!"
"Suits me. We'll get oysters
Rockefeller and terrapin at An
tolne's." Hut Kent thought It a hit silly
when Sharlene Insisted on leaving
the taxi at Canal street and pro
ceeding on fool down the narrow
sidewalks. They had to go single
file and sometimes step into the
street to avoid idle groups of chat
tering foreigners.
"Old French quarter!" he ex
ploded. "It's modern Dago
slums!"
"Wait!" She commanded and
led the way past the stores and
crowds until they entered a peace
ful, dreaming streot where the fra
grance of magnolias came from
behind some garden wall on the
soft night breeze. She took him
up on a balcony where they could
look through delicate iron lace in
to a moonlit world. The moon had
all the witchery of that other night
in Asia and the shadows of the
fragile Iron work were just as
lovely as those cast by the ancient
white marble lattices in distant In
dia. Sharlene caught his hand and
held It hard, unconsciously listen
ing for the song of a nightingale.
Kent was looking closely at the
Iron lace. "It'd look swell on the
balcony of a Spanish-type house.
Ilavo It cleaned up, of course. They
ought to pull down these old build
ings they re unsafe and unsani
tary." Sharlene was silent, fler mood
f dreams was shattered into shin
ing bits, but she clung loyally to
Kent and would not let herself
think what Stuart would have said
under similar circumstances.
"Come on, honey," he urged.
I'm all set for those oysters
llockct'eller. I'm starved!"
So i hey turned their steps to the
famous old restaurant and Kent
was presently rewarded by a plate
il succulent oysters in their half
shells, smothered in an Ineompa-
ranie green sauce that is talked of
round Iho world whenever gour
mets gather.
There was a big table near them
around wihch some nine or ten
young American men sat eating ap
preciatively. They were a boister
ous crew, happy and hungry and
able to pay for w hat they wanted.
Ilnir a dozen waiters danced at i
tendance. There was one empty ,
place and much talk about why u !
cerlnln "IHiok" did not appear. !
Sharlene and Kent, idly amused. I
caught a word or two of their
breezy conversation.
"Hey, garcon, more of those bal
loons!" One of the boys held up
in his fingers tho potato which had
been fried In hot grease so that it
was u mere fragile blister, filled
with air. "That was u dude of a
shot to get," Hrgumentutively from
niocK-nrowed youiie man. "tin-

half-euvlously.

To Another

Humming Bird no Dove of Peace
The pacifists had a pretty good
idea when they hefd a peace par
ade without the fifes and drums.
They were right. Drums
have been the call to war ever
since time had a tick. If there
Is anything that makes you
feel like fighting It's a fellow
playing fife an octave above a
banshee's midnight aria.
A nlebesclte of the heroes of
1861 Indicates that the Civil war
was started, fought and set to mu
sic by drummer boys. Every vet
eran we ever met claimed to have
been twelve years old when he
went to war and that his job was
to Indicate the tempo with a pair
of nimble sticks. We have Inter
viewed one million drummer boys
on the northern side and .almost
that many for the south.
They were aided and abet
ted by enthusiastic lads fan
ning fifes to a white heat. The
only way you could tell the
doughboys from the officers
was by the size of the drums
they carried. The generals,
of course, banged away at the
big bass buttertubs.
Have you ever heard the "Mar
seillaise" being banged and toot
ed on the flutes and the Bnares?
That Is the world's greatest na
tional anthem for stirring up the
red corpuscles. When a red cor
puscle hears that tune he can
whip his weight In wildcat white
corpuscles. It Is the world's most
tantalizing orchestration for
marching men up to the front.
When you get the men up
to the front you've got to have
another tune to make 'em for
get their hunger, their thirst
and their sore feet. You need
another tune to send them
over the top to fight, claw and
scratch.
And the greatest fighting music
ever written is Dixie. I.o mel
ody In the world compares with
Dixie for teeth, nails and
knuckles. It is a condensed buttle
opera. When played by a rite
and drum corps it is a declaration
war. When men hear Mixle
they fight. When babies hear
that lullahyeat twilight they bang
their nurses over the heads with,
big spoons. '
So the pacifists are smart in
eliminating the fife and drum
corps. But we don't like their
Idea of a substitute for this
militant synchronization.
When the pacifists march
along they hum softly to them
selves. You can't get any
where on a hum, sweet hum.
And a humming don't mean'
peace.
The best hummers In the
world arc bees, wasps and mosqui
tos. And there is nothing peace
ful about these birds. A hum Is
all right at the start. Put you
never saw a hummer who didn't
get louder gradually. And wind up
trying to crash grand opera.
U. S. POLITICAL
OBSERVATIONS
Dy I1YUON PRICE
(Chief of Bureau, The Associat
ed Press, Washington.)
As tho old year recedes into
history, the professional politi
cians differ widely in their tore
casts for llK!(i.
This challenges attention,' be
cause it represents a widespread
change of view. Cntil recently
there was little disagreement
among the experienced prognosti
cs tors when they spoke privately.
Fven prominent republicans saw
small likelihood that Mr. Itoosevelt
could be defeated for reelection.
t'nqucstionnbly republican spirit
rrose rapidly during the fall months
of Instead of going about
their political chores with resigna
tion and gloom, as they had done
before, parly organizers beKun
really to try to lay a basis for
winning the election. Many of
them began to say it could be dune j
handily. j
Among Ihe democrats, tho flag i
remained nailed to the mast, but ft
began to be understood that at
least the campaign uf VX'M would
not hu won by default. In other
words, there was a general recog
nition, fur (lie first lime since Mr.
Itoosevelt became a popular idol in
I'j:i;t. that tho coming campaign
would bo fought desperately ou
both sides.
So matters stood in early De
cember. Since then several events
have unsettled the situation con
siderably. Townsendite Strength
One of theso was the sudden re
viuil of organized sentiment for
the Townsend old-nge tension
plan, accompanied by u bint that
Mr. Townsend and his associates
will place an independent ticket In
the fi.t.
That may never materialize, yet
tho threat of it alone complicates
all political roreca-ds. The Tow n
sendltos claim several millions of
adherents; presumably, hh lines
hac been druwu up to now, most
of tuetse votes would gu to Mr
Koueevelt in 1936. TJaeir loss to a
third ticket might conceivably turn
the balance.
Tben It developed also that the
defection of conservatives from
Mr. Roosevelt might be much bet
ter organised than had been ex
pected. It was disclosed that southern
democratic dissenters would meet
late In January, under the leader
ship of Governor Talmadge of
Georgia, to plan a campaign of op
position. It Is questionable wheth
er any of these dissenters think a
renominatfon can be stopped, so
the real purpose must be sought
elsewhere. If the southern demo
cratic vote could be split by run
ning an Independent rightwing
democratic ticket in the south,
that would give administration poli
ticians something to think about.
Simultaneously it was announced
that Al Smith was about to break
his Bilence. What he says when be
speaks, also in late January at a
liberty league meeting, will be
awaited with more than perfunc
tory Interest.
Borah's 'Campaign'
On the republican side, too,
things began to happen. Several
neatly-arranged applecarts were
upset by the decision of Senator
Borah to enter the presidential
primaries.
With Borah wnging a militant
battle to "liberalize" the republican
party, ft Is difficult to see how a
serious convention squabble can
be escaped.
If Borah succeeds In dominating
the convention. It Is to be expect
ed that the conservative elements
of the party will fall In line be
hind him with that unity of Bpirit
and that financial aid which have
been considered requisite to repub
lican victory.
If Borah Is beaten, can the party
avoid the accusation uf having
been dominated by "old guard" In
fluences, and . can It Bave Itself
from the defection of several mil
lions of liberals?
More than once In the past, all
party hope of success at the polls
has been obliterated by the ramifi
cations of just such a struggle as.
now is developing among the re
publicans. Altogether, it is about as badly
scrambled a situation within both
parties as has appeared in any
campaign. Some of the wisest poli
ticians, whatever they may Bay
publicly, are disposed at this stage
to surrender to inward wonder
about the outcome.

SALEM. Jan. 6 (AP) Tho
supreme court ruling invalidating
the agricultural adjustment uct
spelled disaster for hop production
control plans and will leave the
market In its present chaotic con
dition, local hop growers believed
today.
Plans for production control,
crop insurance and benefit pay
ments were definitely "out" as a
result of the high court opinion
which banned all agreements, even
to voluntary agreements, it was
believed here.
The proposed program would
have cut the production in the
three west coast states to approxi
mately 200.000 bales of hops, about
half from Oregon and a quarter
each from California and Wash,
ington. Hop certificates insuring
each grower his allotted tonnage
would have been Issued each year.
It had been hoped this plan
would balance production with con
sumption and definitely stabilize
the market as well as Insure
growers against crop loss.
