Will Vouch for Liftin
The republicans could not find a more
capable or stronger delegate from the
state at large than Ben R. Liftin, pub
l i s h e r of The Dalles Chronicle, who is a
candidate for delegate at large to the re-*
publican national convention. H a v in g
known Liftin personally for years we can
and do appreciate the opportunity of rec
ommending him to republicans of this com
munity. He is a live wire, courageous and
thoroughly true to his convictions.
City council took a stand last week
th a t on the face of things seems to be
justified. T ransfer of men from W PA pro
jects to the sewer job under PWA has
resulted in an early discharge for cause.
The men, contractors declare, are physi
cally unfit to carry on the hard work in
connection with the sew er project and
have lost their WPA standings. Men not
capable of extremely hard work should
be kept on the WPA rolls in all fairness
and the younger and stronger men trans
ferred to the sewer work.
Flood control in the Tualatin would
be one of the biggest things th a t could
happen to this valley and Senator McNary
is to be commended for bringing favorable
committee action on Oregon rivers.
The candidates are a t the tape and
the registration for voters is closed. In

eyes a chance to see w hat th e ir ow n political p re
judices refuse to perm it th e ir brains to absorb? This
can be the only answer, as many who have w atched
th e operation of CCC camps in this Pacific N o rth
west w ill agree.
Take, for instance, th at section of th e M ount
Hood National forest w hich lies betw een th e C olum
bia riv er on th e n orth and th e Mount Hood Loop
highw ay on th e south, review the w ork w hich has
been done by the youths and officers of these CCC
camps in th is region, and see if you can find it
possible to say th at the money spent on renabllita-
tion of these youths has been squandered
Aside from th e m any fire roads and trails these
youths have built through the forests, to say n o th
ing of th e im provem ent of the C olum bia riv er high
w ay by th e opening up of m any glorious view s of
the great riv er by the rem oval of brush, th e re is
th e splendid w ork these boys have perform ed in
fighting forest fires, in w hich several have sacrificed
th e ir lives, and others have been b u rn ed a n d
crippled.
A re w e w illing to forget, because of absurd
political bias, th a t these youths found themselves,
through the economic erro rs of th e ir elders, w ith
out th e chance w hich every A m erican youth has
a right to expect in this, th e richest nation of the
world? If this is the m yopia w hich w e m ust endure
because we absorb p arty politics, th e sooner we
break aw ay from them entirely, th e b etter w ill it
be both for our nation and ourselves.—Hood R iver

Mendacious Falsehood
It is difficult to understand how a state of mind
could be gleefully malicious, b ut no oth er words
could b etter describe the attitu d e of the Oregonian
in referrin g to NRA regulations and AAA r e
strictions as presaging th e possibility th a t th e fed
eral governm ent may presently be com m anding its
citizens to “wash behind tb e ears." The purpose, of
course, though stated with a so rry attem pt a t w him
sicality, to em phasize th e L iberty League point of
view th a t individual freedom is being denied the
A m erican people.
T he statem ent is as u n w arran ted as it is m a
licious.
T he only invasion of personal lib erty has been
an effort to end unfair practices and compel cor
porations to b e honest in th eir dealing- w ith the
public. And th a t is not a new u n d ertak in g on th e
p art of th e A m erican governm ent. It has ever been
th e substance of all regulatory legislation, w hether
national or state. The outstanding w ieider of the
"big stick" in ell our history was T heodore Roose
velt. to whom th e republicans refer w ith justifiable
pride, although th e sam e type of "m alefactors” who
oppose him are now opposing F ran k lin D. Roose
velt.
It is tru e th a t th e NRA did attem p t to in ject a
modicum of honesty and fair-dealing into business
practices; and it is also tru e th a t its purpose was
defeated by business men them selves for th e very
simple reason th a t observance of its regulations
w ould have elim inated m any of th e evils th a t con
trib u te so largely to social and economic injustice.

Confronting the Reds
We commend The Oregon Jo u rn al for th e valiant
fight it is m aking against Red influences in civil
and official life. This is not a scare cry, at all. The
Reds are w orking quietly, all th e tim e, and noisily
p art of th e time, to overthrow th is governm ent.
They are directly responsible for th e long series
of strik es w e have had on this coast in milks and
am ong longshorem en and seamen. They have cost
m illions of dollars and some lives. They have been

They urge th e men in th e arm y to use th e ir guns
against the capitalists and join Com munism to ta k

filtrated into th e Y. M. C. A. and other church o r
ganizations. Some schools are lousy w ith them.

What Other Editors Say
The number of weekly new spapers is
on the decline, a recent directory of news
papers in the U. S. and Canada reveals.
Weeklies suspending in 1935 totaled 156.
There are 13,927 papers in the two coun
tries. Running a new spaper is no bed of
roses and with the tough sledding of re
cent years it is a wonder that more have
not suspended.
Improvements of recent years, new
features, costlier services a n d a d d e d
equipment have increased the costs of
publication, and there has been no in
crease in rates commensurate with the
rising expenses. The result has been th a t

At the very mention of chang

a thousand proteat*. Everything is
quite perfect as it is! Leave well
enough alone! There would be no
sentim ent connected with a newer
system.
In spite of these protests, certain
changes, which will be released
for publication later, have already
been made. May we suggest an ad
ditional alteration?
Previously the procession has a d
vanced willi all ttie girls first, fol
lowed by all the boys. This is an
unnatural order. Then, too, the
music has a well, put on high
heels and just try to walk down
that incline at a rapid rate.
A change in this procccdurc
would be a step to elim inate an
unsatisfactory .situation. Let us then
thiow off Ihe m antle of tradition
and don Ihe robe of progress.
The subject is trite but the "sub
jects" deserve the reprim ands. Be
cause two reporters failed to live
up to their titles, several hoys who
worked hard to get their athletic
letters in basketball are not even
getting the honor of being enum er
ated in Ihe news. The rem ainder
of the staff wish to apologize to
the boys for the injustice and hope
to give a list of the aw ards next

Visit Lumber Yard
The Try-Square club was shown

yard last Wednesday by V. W.
G ardner. They were shown d iffe r

grades. He explained the uses at
the lum ber and told why the lum

grades. Following the visit to the
yard, the club was treated to r e
freshm ents by Mr. G ardner.
