THREATENS CWA SUCCESS
There is something rather ominous uljout all these reports
of graft and double-dealing in operations of the CWA. They
have been widespread enough to cause Department of Jus
tice agents to get busy and the story they tell isn't a pretty
one. Public officials in some localities calmly have put them
'. selves on the CWA payrolls; in others they have connived at
a racket whereby CWA men had to fork over part of their
pay; in others they have passed out jobs precisely as a rapa-
emus city machine hands out plums at the.ctty hall.
Part of this is due to local political conditions, and part
. of it may be due to the federal administration's failure to
. proceed sharp'y enough against the spoils system. There
' still are too many men who see in government jobs .only a
new opportunity to reward deserving party workers. But
! whatever the cause of it, the net effect is to raise grave
I doubts about the working-out of the vast programs now ,be
. xng put into effect at Washington. "'
We don't know yet how far some of these programs are
going to go or how long they are going to last. .Many people
' are convinced that some, at least, of these government pro
. jects are profoundly unwise and ought to be abandoned. $ut
however opinion may run in those respects, one thing is
' obvious : Since we are more or less committed to a trial of
'. a vast extension of activity by the central government, that
.' .trial ought to le as business-like and straightforward as is
humanly possible. If it fails, it ought to fail because of its
own inherent contradictions and not because of political in- i
' eptitude.

Rep, Allen expressed belief, the peo
ple would gain a benefit of lower
power rates and at tho same time i
retain tho continued benefit of large
private power concerns upon the Btatc I
tax rolls. '
Rep. Allen, who has Just returned i
from a meeting of the commission
in Portland, Bald that private power
concerns throughout the state wcro
co-operatlug closely and most heartily
with the commission and Its en
gineers in effort to gain Information
and tho survey will bring forth a
true story of the heretofore much
disputed power situation In Oregon.
Utilization through proper plan of
distribution of the lnunense power
possibilities of the Bonnovlllc dam
will bring to this state and the
northwest untold benefit in new in

Because of jthc future possibilities
and plans of bringing' tfenncville
power Into this section, all of which
is known to both federal and atate
engineers, any other state or muni

to be encouraged at this time, said
Rep. Allen. The Inclusion of the power

gathering .here to discuss dairy problems.
Tho national dairy program has
not been settled yet and the Oregon
producers will probably take some
action on it for the benefit of the
national committee. The national
program will be handled like the
wheat and hog control program to
reduce, production and thereby con
trol markets and prices, It Is believed.
The tentative announcement from
Washington outlines a control plan
based on 16 per cent reduction
through any means the Individual
uuirymnn may dec mo upon, wun
benefit payments from a processing
tax on butterfat and a compensating
tax on oleomargarine, each tax not
to exceed fi, cents a pound.
