Another Challenge to Youth p’.BAR rides through the nation—fear that the dictatorships of central Europe will prevail in the United States, and unless in telligent efforts are made to allay it the realization of this fear will he a dictatorship. I))'. Polyzoides, editor of the New Tribune of New York city, made this point in his talk the other night in Villard hall, lie said that throughout the nation there is*the reel ing that a dictatorship is inevitable, that democracy has fallen, and that people must search for something new. in this mad whirligig of thought people are overlooking the strength of an institu tion which if correctly controlled can defy the powers of the modern Dark Age dictator ships and the retrogressive ideas of the vo latile radicals. That institution is democracy. When the people of the lower Mississippi valley regions hear of floods and heavy rains in the highlands they immediately begin to strengthen their levees. These levees are strong enough in normal times but in flood times they must be fortified. The United States has a democracy which was successfully horn in an emergency. For many years the levees of government have been strong enough to carry the flood waters of the years. Now in a time of crisis people fail to see that what is necessary is a strengthening of the levees, not a retreat to the dictatorial highlands with the attendant disruption of business, loss of homes, and breaking up of families. Even as the levees are the best means known to man to keep the waters in their course, democracy is the furtherest advance ment made in civilization in the government of people. People along the Mississippi do not abandon the levees, they strengthen them and the waters pass by harmlessly. It is only when the strengthening of these levees starts too late that the muddy waters swirl over the top spreading death and destruction. Democracy must be strengthened by the self-imposed regulation of certain liberties in the interests of the whole, in order to meet this emergency, said Polyzoides. True. And if democracy is strengthened by the support of the citizens it will be an enlight ened nation that will ride the crest of these times and lead the way to better limes. In the colleges are found the leaders upon whose shoulders will rest the responsi bility to carry democracy forward. It is in the colleges of America that the movement must start and to ipiestion young America's ability to carry on is but a challenge! Whal a Pity! f)KAK, dear isn't it a shame. Recently Dr. O. K. Maker, economist of the de partment of agriculture announced that the birth rate ot the l idled States has been lading olt sitin' 1 f).'?(), when there were 100. 000 fewer children horn than in l!i‘_’0. And the national resources board states, with a slutkiu^ of heads and a pessimistie. sigh. that in 1070 the population of the I'nited States will, begin to decrease. The intimation being that we ought to do something about it. In 1070! llow terrifying! In view of the fact that a part of the population is already starving and unable to find work and a large number of the still persisting arrivals find a dismal outlook of few jobs and no future, such a prediction is surely one of disaster. How terrible ’twould be. indeed, if there were less children born to face a future with no place for them! What a tragedy it Atner ieans did not keep up with the lit) children families induced by the Jlussolinian bonuses, or the quintuplets encouraged In the acclaim heaped on the Dionne's! What a dismal failure should American women not see fit to stuff ten children into a two-rooiu flat! But uo matter. America may yet avoid this impending disaster. We remember vaguelv, from the portals of history, a cer tain Malt bus—-who, it seems, had a theory. With quite the pessimism of our honored wresources board, he foresaw a certain future of starvation and wars, necessary to kill off some of the population which was soon to increase beyond the available food supply. Oh, it was quite unavoidable_this over hanging misery—yet, somehow, we avoided it. Malthas, it seems, failed to foresee cer tain conflicting circumstances. Could, pos sibly, the prediction of the national resources board have made such a miscalculation? But, no. Surely not. Surely it is all foreseen. What a dire calamity! Quick Action JTJI the noisy criticism of Senator Iliram Johnson breaking into the head lines, President Roosevelt is forcing the movement to bring the United States into the world court. Such an attempt is not a new one for our chief executives. Beginning with Woodrow Wilson, every president from his time to the present has recommended to the senate that the United States enter the world court. Al Iasi it appears that the gleam of light | is beginning to penetrate the murky dark | ness that has filled the senate chamber when ever the world court problem came up for debate. After If, years the senators finally show symptoms of forgetting ways of angling a new postoffiee for Boomvilie or monument to First Citizen Smithford Smythe and con sidering aspects of the United* States’ rela tions with the rest of the world. Many Oregon professors and students have long urged this entrance to the court as has informed opinion from all over the country. The senate is poised to act—-after 15 years. Ah, me! “Many Students Enroll in Propagation ( ourse,” reads a headline in the Oregon State Daily Barometer. More than one way of increasing enrollment! One Man’s Opinion By STIVERS VERNON Whether we like it or not, we must admit that California knows her stuff when it comes to treating the tourists right. Out of a little sun shine, some first-rate bathing-girl pictures and a lot of hot air she has evolved a business which reaches unguessed millions each year. All this did not come by simply advertising in the big eastern magazines and then letting nature take its course. Not by a long shot. The powers behind the throne in California business have moved with extreme wisdom and sagacity in holding on to what came their way. California— especially southern California jumps when the moneyed tourist cracks the whip. If they haven’t got what he wants, they’ll get it for him. And how they do get it! In connection with this we might mention two related incidents which demonstrate Cali fornia's willingness to do everything in her power to give the tourist a break and Oregon’s short sightedness along similar lines. We happened at one time, to be driving a car which bore a California license. In the course of our wanderings we made a trip from this city to T or Hand. In that distance we were twice stopped by members of the state police patrol who wished to inspect our non-resident permit to see that it had not lapsed. Fortunately for us, the sticker was but. a few days old and we were gruffly told to go ahead but if we were going to be in the state over three months we’d have to get an Oregon license. Or in plain words, if you don’t want to buy an Oregon license, go on back where you came from. Whereupon we burned inwardly and directed appropriate remarks to the surrounding scenery. In direct contrast, wc once drove an out-of state car around the streets of Los Angeles. In so doing we inadvertantly made a left turn where none was allowed. Wo were promptly whistled down by the patrolman on duty at this corner. Instead of giving us a lovely bawling-out the cop touched his helmet as he came up and very con versationally pointed out that we had made an error in our driving. However, inasmuch as our car bore a foreign license ho realized that we were unfamiliar with Los Angeles’ traffic laws and merely called our attention to the blunder and sent us on our way without so much as a icpi imand. Before we left, we mustered our courage to inquire if out of state cars were im mune to arrest for traffic violations. The copper replied that only in extreme cases or where the ease obviously merited arrest did they detain visitors. Homo difference. Oregon has everything it takes to make this state a tourist's paradise. ! Advertising and word of mouth knowledge will i bring tourists to us. However, Oregon will never keep them if she occupies her time in seeing that her visitors do not spend a day or two more than their alloted ninety days, The Passing Show TO Kli.-U’U AN I NDEKNTANDINii Severe criticism has been leveled by student leaders hero at au apparent misunderstanding { which permitted a discrepancy in the system of i student fee collection to be evidenced this term at I the two major state institutions of higher educa- j lion. While Oregon State student representatives wcio excluded from the registration lino m col lection of fees, the university leaders were pr- ! mined the privilege of having' their table in that line, according to reports received here. The result of tins exclusion is evidenced in the fact that almost double the amount of tickets were sold at the university the first day ot registration thun were sold on this campus. V\ ith tlie idea that fee collection may again be optional during spring term, Oregon State stu dent leaders wish that some arrangement could be made whereby the registration line at this in- i stitution could also include a table, it is desired that a definite understanding be arrived at so that this institution might also have the same privilege that was granted at the university to j facilitate the distribution of student cards. -Ore- j gon State Doily Barometer. The Day’s Parade By PARKS HITCHCOCK Joining the W'orld Court Bunking Blasphemy \ FTER many, many years of * laying the resolutions to have the United States enter into and abide by the decisions of the World Court on the table, it seems very probable that the pending resolution of adherence will be passed within the next two weeks. On the Q. T. ’ A private poll on the question has been taken during the past few days to see if the resolution would be passed, and so far 60 senators have voiced their ap proval, several have been non-com mittal and a few have decided that they would be ‘‘ill” when the measure came up for a vote. Democratic Leader Joseph T. Robinson predicted a vote by the end of the week, but perhaps a few of the non-committal solons will need more persuasion than the confident Democrat thinks, and thereby postpone the issue for a few more days. No Embarrassment To pass, this resolution needs a two-thirds vote, and no vote will be taken until the matter is set tled before hand so that it will go through. Otherwise a few con gressmen would be greatly em barrassed by having voted on the wrong side of the fence for the first time since they were elected by the commonwealth to act a.s their representatives in the great and mighty legislative body of this country. At least, according to their campaign speeches that's what they said they would do. No Straddling The only correct thing to do now in the Senate, though, if Mr. Sen ator wishes to be among the cho sen few, is to be on the side that has the most votes and thereby never gain the ill will of the pres ent owners of the pork barrel. * * ACCORDING to Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., the bankers run their own little businesses without being greatly influenced by the government or anyone in Washington. To quote Mr. Morgenthau, “I be long to the school that thinks the banks, being privately owned, owe a duty to their depositors. I do not think anybody here in Washington can tell them what to do, because, after all, all of their responsibility is to their depositors. I do not think that all the pounding of desks in the world will compel a bank to make a loan unless the management wants to do it.” No, of course, Mr. Morgenthau, no one can make the banks extend credit, and the bank's first duty is to its depositors, but still, with deposit, insurance and a few other little legislative acts of the gov ernment, trie government rather than the banker, accepts the obli gation of duty to the bank's de positors up to a sizeable sum. With such a situation existing, we think it very foolish of the treasury department not to voice an opinion on how the deposits secured by the government shall be invested, and certainly curtail ing or expanding the loans made by certain banks. After all, whether the deposits are secured or unsecured, the only difference is that in the event of a bank failure with insurance, the loss would be more widespread and not. to such a great amount per capita. With either situation ex isting, the people would be the losers, and most certainly the ac tions of the bankers should be re stricted to serve the best interests cf the people.

Bay Noble polled more votes for first choice than all the rest of the pack put together, j with 6 to his credit alone. Tied for second place in popularity, we find ■ Fred Waring and Glen Gray’s Casa ! Loma battling with much gusto, i followed by Jack Hylton running ! neck and neck with Ted Fio-Rito for third. Eddie Duchin pulls into line at fourth with Jan Garber at fifth, Jimmy Grier at sixth and Terr: Coaklcy slight favorite over Duke Ellington for seventh, in fact separated by only three votes. Guy Lombardo surprises us by being I only eighth, while we are glad to I see Wayne King at ninth, with | Freddie Martin holding up the rear ! guard at No. 10. Paul Whiteman, ] Hoi Kemp, Gus Arnheim and Georgic Stoll, drew so many votes that they deserve to be mentioned also. Torn McCall, local campus bandsman on - the - up-and-come, magnamaniously puts his own master melcdians of mush in only i fourth place on the list he turned in, even ahead of Harry’ Happy Hummingbirds, who was way down the line. The almost unanimous j selection as the best band on the ! coast fell to Tom Coakley, with Orville Knapp and Jimmy Grier fighting it out for the cellar posi tion. Portland's white hope, Bart Woodyard, only drew one ducat, j tying with the Ten Commanders j (take your bow, fellers), with no other Oregon outfits mentioned. If you who haven’t made up your lists, don't agree with the above showing, send in your ideas of how it should look. The more the merrier, and there is no time limit set, but try to get them in by this week, if you can. Thank you, gentle readers for the avalanche of votes sent in and will have them all tab ulated and a final count made the first of next week. Adios. Emerald of the Air By GEORGE Y.

Fire-Buckets and Fire-Water i i By Frederic S. Dunn The bells that used to ring out from many a belfry in old Eugene town,—whither have they gone ? i The weddings they pealed forth, ! the deaths they tolled, the New J Years they rang in! Crass disil j lusionment to think of the melting ! pots into which they may have I been tossed, of pawning for old church debts, of exchange for a memorial tablet! And with them vanished also the Old Court House bell that clanged so furiously in alarm of fire. Oh! the “jangling and the wrangling” of that Old Court House bell! It was toward the close of a bit terly cold afternoon in the winter of 1882-3, a few kerosine lights were beginning to straggle through | an occasional window,, when the [ old fire bell rang out its terror through the dusk. A frame shoe store just south of the alley on the'west side of Willamette be tween 8th and Broadway was ablaze. The old Hook and Ladder Co. and the hand-rail fire engine and the one hose team, all manned by volunteer firemen, rushed to the rescue, with hundreds of citi zens to offer relief. Picks and crowbars loosened some planks in the street intersection, revealing' a well shaft and running water 15 feet below the surface, the hose with suction attachment was thrust into the cistern, and the two long rails of the engine went up and down as valiant citizens plied their strength to raise the water and throw it on the burning build ing. Others formed a line and passed tarred leather buckets of water from a hand pump and horse-trough in front of Dunn's Store. Long after dark, the fire was cut, and Clem Hodes, devoutly grateful for the saving of his sa loon just across the alley,—Clem with the florid cheeks and chin whiskers and true Germanic spher icity, threw wide his doors with free drinks for all. And in poured the citizenry. Just at this junc ture, a throng of students from a skating carnival west of town came upon the scene with clinking home of friends in Portland and expects to return to the campus for next Monday classes.

Gleefully they accepted Clem's wholesale invitation, some of them with no conscience limit, I mean neither conscience nor limit. This was on a Friday evening. Why should Faculty folk go to a fire? You couldn’t keep them from a fire in those days. And some one peached. The result was a general assembly the following Monday, way up in the third heav en of Deady Hall, and a public reprimand administered to some thing like ten of those aftermath ers, and apology demanded of all fen before the entire Student Body. And two of the most hilarious, who helped most vigourously put cut the fire of thirst, Mack Sum merville and Morgan Holt, never again had a free drink over Clem Hodes’ bar.
