It is hard to understand just how amazing an achievement this is unless the revolution in India is compared with other great revolutions. When the American colonies broke away from Great Brit ain there was an instant appeal to arms. Beginning with the skirmishes at Lexington and Concord, a costly and bloody war progressed for seven years and many soldiers died before a decision could be obtained. A i:ij.i ii. iu. T? i. iir!..

Editor Observer: In a recent editorial entitled: "No famine of gold In prospect," the Oregon lan. as usual, displays Its per verse attitude to everything that threatens to disturb any of her antl--quated idols, and by so doing be comes Inimical to progress and the correct understanding of the sub ject presented. . While- correctly reporting the find ings and opinions of the "league of nutlons gold committee; Mr. Cassel, the greatest world authority, on the subject; also John Hays Hammond, an outstanding authority on mines and minerals; all not only held that thero would be a famine in the near future, but that there Is a dllemna now impossible of solution in any feasible way, and all this pertaining only to about one-third of the world's population, saying nothing about the most pressing fact that the other two thirds have not enough gold to even ' attempt getting on a gold standard successfully. In the face of all the authorities quoted and many more who agree I with them, the Oregonian presumes to argue to tne contrary, unaouotea ly knowing that after the great mines In the Rand have to be abandoned, thero Is not a reasonable chance for a sufficient production to fully sup ply the demand for gold In the arts and nothing at all left over for money. The great Rand mine is now down over 7000 feet below the sur face with a temperature of 103 de grees on the main working level and an air pressure bo great that only young Bantu natives can stand a two hour shift below. The large commit tee of the league referred to investi gated every phase of the subject so exhaustively mat no one can reason particular. It Is certainly more than amaz ing that the erudite composer of that editorial should, for a moment, at tempt to Justify any of Us conclu sions. Plainly, they are all meant as a block In the way of an early ac tion on sliver, as if the metal were too pleblan to be worthy of earnest consideration as basic money. All this, when fully aware that silver Is tlio only solution, not only for the dllemna of gold, but for most of our economic Ills as well. Irrefutably so, and the writer would be glad to meet any Oregonian representative in a joint debato on that part of it, or of the whole monetary question.

Although the lines of the roof might at first suggest otherwise, the plan is essentially square, distinctive touches being added in the gables and other roof features. The square shape provides a good foundation for building and the extra cost of the roof framing should prove Justified In view of the effect achieved. The exterior Is of English Inspira tion. Clapboards, half-timber, brick and stucco are interestingly combined for the walls, while the roof is of slate or tile. The stucco is a warm tone of white and all woodwork of French gray or black. Windows may be either i metal or wood. On either side of the small entrance porch Is a lattice for climbing rose cr clematis. The effectiveness of this planting is evidenced In the archi tect's drawing. All the principal rooms face on the garden side, the entrance to the house facing the street. The location of the kitchen makes the front door, the stairs, the dining room and a side entrance alike ac cessible to the busy housewife. The living room and dining room share the outlook from the porch into the rear garden. These rooms have three exposures through large windows, providing ample light and ventilation. The three upstairs bedrooms are served by a bathroom opening onto the stair hall. Each has ventilation fro mtwo sides. The house is only 30 feet wide due to Its compact plan, and a lot 50 by 100 feet will accommodate It nicely, although, as usual, a larger site will be a paying investment from the standpoint of appearance. . The cost of construction is esti mated at from $8,000 to $10,000, the usual local labor and- material fac tors largely determining the figure. The 193 1 total of building in La Grande approached the 835,000 mark at the closing of last week, with the ligure now at $34,305. Permits during the first quarter equalled $28,475 and so far this month new construction costing $5920 has been started. Permits iBsued by Recorder-Treasurer J. E. Stearns at the city office last week Include: Apr. 13 Zack Lilly, to erect garage on Fourth between X and Y ave-. nues, to cost $200. Apr. 15 C. E.

There are still several areas in the Grande Ronde valley where the problem of the farmer is increased by the fact that he does not have year round access to the main highways. A state or county may have the finest main highways but they do not help the farmer who lives a mile or more away on an unimproved dirt road which at certain seasons of the year become impassable. Labor and materials can be secured at a minimum of cost at the present time, and if it Is at all possible to provide the funds, work should be started on some of these roads as soon as the weather will permit. at onco, without coat, and yet the great newspaper will not oven stand aside and lot It bo tried out.

Pepper at one time hud promise of a notable career In public service. But party strlfo cut it short before ho had gone very far. EVENTFI L TERM His term in the senato, although short, was eventful. Appointed to fill tho vacancy caused by the death of Boles Penrose, he acted contrary to the tradition that a first-year man ahould be aeen and not heard. Ho iinmod lately plunged into the league, debate then raging In tho senato on lntornotlonnl relations and soOn won recognition In the councils of his pariy. no Had mndo a study of for eign relations and opposed with much vigor tho proposal to have the United States Join the League of Nations.

From tho time he was graduated he has both practiced and taught. FX -ATHLETE As a student at the University of Pamisylvanln, Pepper won fame as an athlete.
