John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him
ail the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized
of him In the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Mark 1:4-5.
THE 1934 CENTENARY CELEBRATION
The centenary celebration of the coming of the mission
aries to the Oregon country, to be held in 1954, with Salem as
the central point of the great events to be commemorated,
was given a world wide impetus on Thursday, May 10th,
when the project was unanimously adopted by resolution in
the general conference of the Methodist church in session at
Kansas City
By which formality the whole great Methodist church is
priced behind the coming celebration.
Six years would seem a long time to wait for some things.
But that is a short period in which to prepare for the cen
tenary celebration of such an event or series of events
The events connected with the beginnings of civilization
in the territory reaching from the crest of the Rockies to
the shores of the Pacific and from the international boundary
to the California line
And the beginning of organized government in this great
seetion. And the acquisition by peaceful means of this vast
expanse of territory, bringing the whole Pacific northwest
under the Stars and Stripes instead of the British flag.
It is but six years till 1934. It is high time active prepara
tions for the celebration were set in motion. There are many
things to do. There should be a great pageant. This should be
a recurring event. The setting must be written. A memorial
building ought be started in Salem. The places of historic in
terest connected with the period of the thirties and forties
must be marked. These are only a few items.. Many other
things must be done, to make of the celebration what its im
portance demands should be done.

Congressman W. C. Hawley
(From the Corrsilis Gasette-Timea)
Sjlverton Student Winner
of Journalism Class Prize
The editor of the Corvallis Gazette-Times, in the article
concerning Congressman Hawley, etc., copied in this morn
ing's Statesman, misses a very important fact in connection
with the charge that Mr. Hawley is a member of only one
committee of the house. No member of the ways and means
committee is ever a member of any other regular standing
committee of the house, for the very important reason that
the ways and means committee is the "committee of commit
tees' that is, it has in hand very largely the naming of all
other standing committees. A rule that would allow a com
- mittee to name is own members on oher committees would
be an absurdity. However, Mr. Hawley, as The Statesman has
said several times, is a member of some of the most import
ant joint committees in congress almost it might be truth
fully said, THE most important joint committees of con
gress. That is one of the reasons why his defeat would be
more than a mistake. It would be a calamity.
The North Santiam correspondent of The Statesman sends
the following: "I wish to express my thanks and appreciation
to the author and to The Statesman for the beautiful poem,
To Mother in Heaven,' printed in the Sunday paper. It is sc
filled with love and longing, all who have mothers gone can
easily understand."
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON.
Eugene, May 15. (Special).
Richard H. Syring. of Silverton.
has been announced the winner of
first prize fn a contest conducted
by George H Godfrey for mem
bers of hie lnterpretire news writ
ing class. The prize of $5 was
awarded the person writing the
greatest numbers of personals
ibout university students and
sending them to his home town
newspaper, consideration of the
numbers of students in the differ
ent territories being taken into
account.
Syring is a senior In journalism
and sports editor of the Oregon
Daily Emerald this year. He has
been active in journalism on the
campus and Is a member of Sigma
Delta Chi. international journal
ism fraternity, and Sigma Phi Ep-
silon, social fraternity.
The contempt fa which Jim
Mott holds the average voter is
evidenced by his silly and unscru
pulous attacks oa Congressman
W. C. Hawley of this district. Mr.
Mott of coarse would like to suc
ceed Mr. Hawley. but If he should
ever succeed in doing so, he could
say as did Jefferson when he suc
ceeded Franklin at the eourt of
France. So yon are tne man
who takes Franklin's ' place?
queried a coqrtier. "No," replied
Jefferson, "I merely succeed him.
No one can take his place." But
the ebulient Jimmle Mott would
not be so modest. Judged by no
other criticism than his own esti
mate of himself as published in
the voters' pamphlet and his var
ious bombastic advertisements,
Jimmie thinks the entire House
might as well be abolished and let
him take its place. Mr. Mott's
boasting makes us think of the
fellow who went to the political
meeting. He met another man
coming out and Inquired, "What's
that fellow talking about?" And
the man who was leaving replied.
"Well, he hasn't said yet, but he
certainly does give himself a pow
e r f u 1 recommendation." Mr.
Mott's candidacy however is per
forming one valuable function, ac
cording to a legislator we met in
Portland the other day. When we
asked him what he meant he re
plied, "Well, it is at least keep
ing him out of the legislature."
Jimmie has about the same repu
tation in the House that Senator
Joseph has in the senate, he
wants to throw monkey wrenches
into everything that is worth
while, in addition to which he has
to shed the light of his knowledge
on every bill that comes along, for
jimmie would rather make a
speech than eat.

PRACTICAL USES SHOWN
IN AVIATION TALK HERE
(Contioned from page 1)
from the practical standpoint of
securing aviation busineses. and
from that of 'being up to date, he
concluded.
Coming to Salem yesterday in a
Ryan plane.e a type which lands
at a speed of 65 miles an hour,
Mr. Mounce feared to light at the
short field here, and as a matter
ofact, found himself oft the
course and in among a cluster of
trees when the plane did stop.
The. $50,000 that Salem is vot
ing Friday, should be Just about
adequate, Mr. Mounce said, tince
the average cost of a class A air
port is about $60,000 and condi
tions In the. level country here are
more favorable than in many
cities.
He urged that when an airport
is established, it be made large
enough to land the largest planes,
now in use, as they are being made
bigger each year.
Five thousand new planes will
be delivered by manufacturers this
year, in the United States, said
Mr. Mounce.e and the factories
cannot nearly keep up with the
orders.
Mr. Mott's campaign is at least
different. He makes an open bid
for the ignorant vote by telling it
boldly that Mr. Hawley is of no
use to the district. This is prob
ably the first time in the history
of congress that high standing in
the House has been brazenly stat
ed as being of no value to the dls
trict The holding of the third
most important position in the
United States by Mr. Hawley, born
and reared In Benton county, is a
guarantee that his colleagues have
the highest regard for him and
the utmost confidence in him and
look to him for leadership. The
fact that he was twice elected
chairman of the republican can
cus shows his standing in the
House and even a school boy
would know that high standing in
the House means ability to "get
thines." which seems to be Mr
Mott's idea of what a congress
man is for, a sort of errand boy
for his dis'trict. Mr. Mott makes
the absurd statement that Mr
Hawley has not introduced any
measures bringing home "pork
in the way of appropriations, yet
the records will show that during
his service as congressman from
this district he has obtained $31.-
000,000 prior to this present ses
sion of congress and if all the ap
propriations pass that Mr. Haw
ley has recommended to the ap
propriations committee at this ses
sion there will be added $2,000.
000 more or a total of $33,000,
000. That may not be much In
the estimation of the cocky Mr
Mott. but if everyone of the 436
districts in the United States had
received as much, it would mean
$14,000,000,000 during the per
iod of Mr. Hawley's service. If to
this amount Is added the autbori
zations provided by law for this
district, Mr. Hawley has secured
$11,000,000 more, or a grand to
tal of $44,000,000. That's noth
ing of course in comparison with
a fish bill. And it was Mr. Haw
ley's bill and his alone, that pass
ed congress and brought to this
district the $8,000,000 O. and C
back taxes.

If we take the low standard laid
down by Mr. Mott, that the value
of a congressman Is measured
alone by the pork he can get, then
It is evident that the higher he
stands among his colleagues, the
more pork he can secure. Mr.
Hawley stands unusually high not
only with his colleagues, but with
the various departments of na
tional government. All the heads
of departments and bureau chiefs
have the greatest respect boh for
his ability and his Integrity and
when he goes to them recommend
ing something for his district,
they listen with interest for they
know he is a man of utmost In
tegrity and wouldn't be recom
mending anything that .did not
have merit back of it. Also his
position as head of the most im
portant committee, not only in the
House, but in the world, places
him where other congressmen,
and influential men everywhere
are constantly seeking his favor,
so that when he wants anything
in return, he has a better chance
of getting it than almost any man
In congress. This district has re
ceived more money -in proportion
to its importance than any other
congressional district in the Unit
ed States and much more than its
pro-rata share. Ordinarily, ' the
congressman gets credit for. this
sort of thing and in this Instance
he is fully entitled to it. The
only trouble with Mr.-- Rawley Is
that he refuses to Wow his own

committee in the House. Its
chairman has always been regard
ed in Washington as next to the
president and the speaker of the
House, tne most influential man
and the most important in Wash
ington. This committee prepared
and reported the veterans Adjust
ment Compensation Act which
benefits tens of thousands of
World war veterans and their
families in this district.. It has
added a further beneficial amend
ment at this session. This com
mittee devised revenue acts which
hare reduced federal taxation two
billion dollars annually since
1921. There hare been three of
these measures. How would you
like to hare such an important
measure prepared by Jimmie
Mott? This committee has sole
jurisdiction over tariff legislation,
which protects our people from
competition with cheap labor and
cheap land in foreign countries
We eat in Mr. Hawley's office one
forenoon and saw half a bushel of
letter come in from nsonle inter
ested in schedules affecting agri
culture. When the present tariff
measure was drafted, Congress
man Hawley was assigned the
task of drafting the agricultural
schedule which is so important to
this district and which means so
much to our prosperity. The pres
ent tariff bill gives agriculture
better protection than any tariff
bill ever enacted. Bills for rais
ing revenue and tariff bills are
the most intricate measures pro
posed in congress, for they are
general in their nature, made to
cover- the entire country, whereas
most other bills are purely local
and could be drawn by a House
page.- Even Mr. Mott could draw
one. In Mr. Hawley, Oregon has
a representative who is a fine ad
vertisement for this state. He
gets more press notices in a sub
stantial way than any other repre
sentative but the speaker of the
House. The last issue of the
American Economist has three
pages about him and a full page
portrait. Including the fact that
he was born and reared in Ben
ton county.
The biggest Insult to the voters
of this district is the statement of
Mr. Mott that Mr. Hawley's Ways
and Means committee assignment
is of no importance because it is
the appropriations committee that
brings home the bacon. If that
were true, then only the districts
represented by the 35 members
of the appropriations committee
would ever get any bacon, the oth
er 400 districts would get noth
ing. It would mean also, that a
man would have to be a member
of every important committee in
order to get everything he want
ed. Such a proposition is prepos
terous. No congressman could be
on all the 45 such committees tn
the House and the voters of this
district hare no assurance that
Mr. Mott could get on any partic
ular one of them. New members
generally take the crumbs and
that's why the wisest thing any
state can .do is to keep its repre
sentatives and senators on the job
as long as possible. The appro
priating committee reports out
its recommendations for rivers
and harbors. There may be a
hundred improvements recom
mended, none of them in separate
bills, all under a lump bill. How
did they ge.t in there? Through
the recommendation of the inter
ested congressman. Mr. Hawley
doesn't have to introduce bills for
them.. He appears before the ap
propriations committee and urges
that they be, put in their general
bill. Yet, Mr. Mott would have us
believe that Mr. Hawley hasn't
got this benefit for his district be
cause he didn't Introduce separate
bills for each appropriation. We
would prefer to take our chances
with Mr. Hawley before the appro
priations committee for any meas
ure this district was interested in
than with any new member we
might select, even an able one.
Length of service Is a most im
portant factor, and only fire con
gressmen hare a longer continu
ous service than Mr. Hawley.

next tariff measure Is written, if
the republicans write It it will be
called the Hawley bUl. just as
similar measures before it were

Fordney hill. Does Oregon want
to exchange all this advantage for

Dr. Rogers, a pastor of Kansas
City. He brought the assembly to
its feet by his impassioned asser
tion that "A dry man must ever
be seated in the presidency of
the United States." The prolonged
applause seemed to declare Hoov
er as the immediate choice of the
crowd assembled. Bishop Leet of
Indiana tells us in private conver
sation that the real strength of
Hoover in that state did not ap
pear in the reports. He scored a
moral victory against several com
binations and. came within a few
rotes of winning orer Senator
Watson. ,
A great temperance rally is be-
ing staged today with speakers
from every continent under the
management of Dr. Clarence True
Wilson, secretary of the board of
temperance, prohibition and public
morals. Saturday and Sunday a
great world men's council will

There is the greatest array of
speakers likely to appear at any

month.
Means Great Help
The action of the Methodist
general conference endorsing the
movement for the 1934 centenary
celebration of the coming of the
missionaries to the Oregon coun
try means the putting of the en
tire church organization behlng
that movement. It means that
the whole of Methodism the world
over will cooperate.
The 1934 centenary celebration
in Salem will now take on the
significance of the world event.
The news of it will go to the ut

the event itself will attract visit

the shining sun.

Barbara Bedford, film actress,

cree of divorce here today from
John A. Rascoe and charged that
her husband frequently left her

Up until Mr. Mott dawned on
the horizon, this entire country
regarded the .Ways and V .

Mr. Mott thunder that Mr.
Hawley is on 'only one standing

densely ignorant or is willfully
trying to throw dust into the eyes
of the voters. One important com
mittee is all any congressman is

Mr. Haugen. What are his com
mittee assignments? One, and
that is Agriculture. The same Is
rue of a man whp served on the
committees of naval affairs, for
eign affairs, appropriations, judi
ciary, military affairs, banking
and currency, rivers and harbors
and many others. If Mr. Mott
wants our congressman on more
than one standing committee he
wants a man who can serve on
such unimportant committees as
woman suffrage, enrolled hills, in
sular affairs, mines and mining,
alcoholic traffic, accounts, civil
service reform, waste paper, etc.
Not a single member serves on
more than one important commit
