. BETTER HOMES WEEK
This week is better homes week throughout the nation.
and President Hoover has asked the people to join whole
Vienvterllv in its observance. In a statement last Saturday
Hoover said. "All they can do to encourage home ownership.
to improve the design, decoration and furnishing, to improve
the design and arrangement of kitchens, to better the up
keep and planning of gardens, and to add to healthfulness
nnri whnlesnmeness' in the home environment, will serve to
promote the finer values of the home, community, and
nation."
. Thin statement is more than mere words, for Hoover
backs them up with his active support of the home loan
bank bill which h requested congress tq pass some time ago,
nnd which was recently reported favorably by a house suo,
committee on banking. The measure will create a system
of federal home, loan banks for the purpose of extending
finnncinl suDDort to those home financing, thrift, .or savings
institutions already in existence but handicapped by lack of
sufficient funds. ,., , .. . s ., -,
It is a recofmized .fact that the strength 'of the nation
lies in its homes, and that increasing the proportion of home
owners automatically increases our stability as a nation
is also recognized that widespread building and remodeling
of homes is a fundamentally sound and most effective means
nf pnunteractinir economic stagnation and paving the way to
a new era of prosperity and generally higher standards of
living.
The better homes week campaign should find a ready
response this year because of the unusually low cost of lum
ber and other building materials, and the availability of
. skilled labor at reduced wage scales. There never has been
a more favorable time to build or remodel a home since the
period preceding the war, and prices are almost sure to go
up again as soon as normal building activity is resumed and
surplus stocks are reduced.
It is significant that better homes week comes in the
n:idst of La Grande's work promotion campaign which
opened three weeks ago. Pledges already amount to more
than $32,000 and we should be encouraged now, with the
coming of real spring weather, to complete the drive and
reach our goal of $50,000. The expenditure of that amount
pf money in building and remodeling, and in general im
provement of property in our city will go far toward relief
of unemployment, and will add many times that amount
to the value of the property.

A IlEIMtKSSION IN ACTION
This writer had some Interesting
experiences In Portland this weeK
which may or may not have some
bearing In a general way on
present economic situation we refer
to as the depression. '
Thofurnlture floor' of a large de
partment store was visited, curiosity
was tho motive, rurimurc, inci
dentally, seems to be offered at
amazingly low prices everywhere. The
two clerks on duty at the time
evinced no Interest whatever In our
visit. We stalked up and down the
aisles examining price tags, sitting In
some of the overstuffed chairs, and
wo otherwise attempted to act like a
customer. No one came near. It
was very lonesome so after ten min
utes we left without toeing given
an opportunity to talk about the
goods.
It seemed like an accident so an-
othor store was visited. This time,
tho season being what It Is, the
sporting goods department was vis
ited. There was an Idle cierk siana
lng near the wrapping booth. We
noted him and examined our watch.
Then up and down the aisles- we
strode, hefting a golf club here and
examining price tags there. It took
that store clerk seven minutes 10
make up his mind to walk over and
see what was wanted.
Wo' mentioned this experience to
a friend who had Just bought a new
automobile. "The trouble Is." he
said, "they have become so imouea
with tho Idea that people won t nuy
things that they hate to ask for
fear their Idea Is correct.- 'men nt

WASHINGTON, Apr. 27 (IPh-In a
lengthy appeal to the senate to un
seat Senator Bankhead of Alabama
as his successor, former Senator Hef
lln said Tuesday he had "leads" that
Indicated more than a million dol-
thls lorB were spent In the campaign
against mm in iuau.
"We have a lead that Mr. Pettis, the
state chairman, came to Washing
ton to get some money from Jouett
Shouse," Heflln said, "referring to
the chairman of the Democratic ex
ecutive committee.
"Shouse gave him a thousand dol
lars to go to New York and see John
J. Raskob (chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee). Raskob
told him 'I don't like the way things
are going In Alabama for Bank
head. If you raise $50,000 there I
will get you $250,000.' We haven't
been able to follow that lead through.
"We have a lead from New Orleans
telling of $800,000 raised there and
supposed to have been spent In
Birmingham. I do know that two
or three days after the election John
Bankhead went to New Orleans.
Whether there was any significance
In that I do not know.
f'We have a lead that $3000 went
through John McDuffle's office. We
have a lead that Mark Black handled
$500 and another man named Mc
Corby handled $5000."
Heflln did not specifically charge
the expenditures In any case.
Wearing his customary long black
coat and a white vest, Heflln, whose
rosonant voice was heard frequently
during tho 11 years he served In the
senate, shouted that he was a victim
of "political assassination."
Because he refused to support Al
fred E. Smith for president In 1928.
Heflln was barred from the Alabama
Democratic primary In 1030. He ran

No doubt these same stories coma

our own, so let's not grin at Portland.
The point Is that sales people seem
to be contributing to ine generu.

evidence they have severed all con
nections with these organizations,
prohibited by state law.
Follows Kidnaping
The action of the board followed
the recent kidnaping and beating of
Victor Dejardln, student, by seven
members of the "Julius Caesars,''
secret society, which resulted in, a
wave of public opinion demanding
tho immediate ouster of these so
cieties. The seven who were reported
to have participated In the kidnap
ing have been suspended by the
school authorities and their credits
for the year taken. They will also
appear before Justice court here to
morrow to answer charges of assault
and battery. The board upheld the
suspension of the seven boys.
Evidence through which the stu
dents may be reinstated means, ac
cording to the resolution, "surrender
of constitution and by-lows, minutes.
proceedings, roster and any other
data requested, and a statement from
officers of said society of the disso
lution of the society carrying with
it the release of members from said
society."
Affidavit Required
In case .the society members as
groups fall to take this action, in
dividual students will be reinstated
If they furnish a certificate and affi
davit that they have broken of all
relations With the secret societies
which are prohibited by state law.
This affidavit must be signed by the
student and his parents.
Superintendent Gfcorge Hug last
night estimated the number of high
school boys and girls belonging to
secret societies at around 300. Prln
clpal Fred Wolf now has a list of
more than. half of these, he said,
There are five of the boys' organ
izations, one of which is a national
organization, the "Friars." Girls'
societies are said to number four.
If students desiring reinstatement
take the required action Immediately,
they need not miss more than one
day of school, the superintendent
points out.
The action last night culminates a
controversy over secret high school
fraternities here in progress for sev
eral years.

THE IDEAL "DAD"
Parents usually have plenty to say about the shortcomings
of their children. The youngsters, though, don't often get
a chance to express themseles about their parents.
The other day, however, children in a middle-western
school were asked to write compositions on the general
subject, "The Kind of Dad I'd Like to Have." And the things
they wrote might provide a good many fathers with some
useful tips.
It's a wistful, pathetic little list, really. Here are some
of the things the children put down:
"I'd like my dad not to laugh at mo when I do things.
"I want my daddy to be kind and cheerful and kind to
mother and everybody.
"I don't want my daddy to whip me when I don't mean it
I want him to give me a chance to explain.
"I don't want my dad to holler at everything.
"I want a daddy the fellows like so we can have a club
in our basement.
"I want him to be able to fix things and make things."
Those are representative samples of the kind of desires
these school kids expressed; and, really, they form about as
mild a set of injunctions as any mortal could be presented
with. It's amazing, when you stop to think of it, how little
pur children demand of us.
What would be required of a man to score 100 per cent
on that list? Simply that he be decently kind, good-natured,
tactful and understanding; that he be likeable enough so that
other children will like him, and that he have some rudi
mentary knowledge of how to repair those little defects that
are constantly developing in a boy's toys.
That, surely, isn't asking an awful lot, is it?
To win and hold the love and admiration of a child is
the easiest thing on earth. Your youngster doesn't ask that', uUSe-bitc to a patagonian.

Mrs. Gamer, whoso aloofness from
Washington social life Is well known,
explains that she docs not think a

Mnnv women believe their social
activities are Important to their hus

"Credit is the blood stream of our economic life. Restric'
tiorior destruction of credit cripples the revival of indiis
try, commerce)and employment." Pl.csi(Ient Hoovcr
THE President estimates that hoarded
money money withdrawn from cir
culation amounts to $1,500,000,
000. A patriotic appeal is being made to
all citizens to restore this money to circu
lation. But hoarded cash is only a drop in the
bucket compared to the billions of dollars
tied up in hoarded credit in unpaid bills!
Millions of people in this country who can
afford to pay and don't are working
untold hardships on their retail stores,
their physicians, their dentists, by with
holding payment of their bills long after
they are due
Working hardships on everj'body, even
themselves, because credit works in'-eir-cles,
through the retailer, the wholesaler,
the manufacturer, back to the worker and
the consumer.
Let's thaw out those frozen dollars! Idle
dollars won't put idle hands to work!
If all of us would pay up our unpaid bills
now, it would put billions of dollars back
into circulation, would stimulate business,
would" put millions back to work, would
hasten the return of prosperity. ""
Pay your bills now as a patriotic duty
as a just obligation to your creditors
your country . . . yourself!
