Free Power at Last!
AT last the campaign promises are to be fulfilled. Free
power without cost, the famous campaign shibboleth is
to be translated into reality. Governor Meier, himself and in
person, with Henry Hanzen and Senator B. L. Eddy as aides
in his entourage will make a pilgrimage to W ashington, there
to secure Free Power. But it will not be free pmver without
cost to the taxpayers. The government would have to foot the
bill and assess the cost to the taxpayers.
It requires little imagination however to see a move for
power other than Electric in this pilgrimage to Washington.
Ha not Gov. Meier been approached with reference to run
ning for vice president on a ticket with Sen. Norris for pres
ident, a third party ticket if you please; the bull frog hop
ping to the tune of "My Country 'tis of thee" ?

Washington to meet tne nauunai exponents ui oa.uj

Korris may be looking for some one who can be financial ;
angel to the foundling party; only running for the presiden
cy or the vice presidency would be far more of a dram on
the bank balance than getting the Oregon governorship. -We
shall see what we shall see. We did not know that
Sen. McNary needed any help in trussing up the board of en
gineers. But Gov. Meier's trip may work well as a Publicity
move for the Columbia dam, and of course in this year 1932
with its prospect of political thunder showers, there is no tell
ing where the lightning will strike, and anyone with ambi
tions should get his lightning rod up.
Moltzner Convicted
A victory for the people of Oregon and for the present ad
ministration of the corporation department is seen in
the conviction of Jay Moltzner, former managing director
of the Guardian Building and Loan association, who was
charged with unlawfully lending the funds of the Guardian
company. Here was a man who took the savings of thous
ands of people and through illegal handling of funds robbed
them of their substance. Such breach of trust, altogether
too common it is now revealed deserves not only- the full
application of the law, but deserves the moral scorn of an
aroused citizenship.
The cities have been full of these clever, unscrupulous
gentry who have lived by their wits, have been parasites
sucking the life-savings of thousands of people.. Glib promises
rave leen all they have offered, uniorxnnateiy me peopie
who thought they were protected by the safeguards of the
state wake up to find their interest betrayed.
There must be increased caution by investors in the
niacin of their funds. Whv trust some stranger who makes
gilded promises? Men who devote their lives with all dili
and honestv to the handling of the funds of other peo
ple find it very difficult to do so and still make modest earn-
ings for the investors and reasonaoie compensation ior wieir
nwn services. How then can others make seven, eight or
more per cent over a long term of years? They can't do it,
except in very rare cases. The investing .public must learn
to steer clear of new deals rigged up to get tneir money.
A Call to Civic Duty
THERE is a call to civic duty in the appeal for jobs for
men and women. WTiat WORK can YOU give? Men-arid
women (don't forget there are women who need work too)
need work. Without work they must have charity. For men
and women must not be allowed to suffer.
So scores of loyal men and women got out in the snow
and rain yesterday to call from house to house soliciting
jobs from householders, extra work, if you please, so needy
and worthy men might earn daily bread and provision for
clothing and shelter. - ,
What did YOU do?
The majority of people in Salem live snugly, in warm
homes, have plenty to eat, their bodies are clothed in com
fortable and attractive garments. They have suffered noth
ing at all in the physical necessities of living. They may, be
poorer, their automobiles may be a year older, but they have
. . . i & .i i i
nox reaiiy sunerea. Ana tne majority oi peopie nere can
make some contribution in the way of work provision for
others.
It is the citizen's duty it is also his opportunity to show
himself a decent and worthy member of the community.
Right-of-Way "Debate
, TNE thing the people here seem to be agreed on, and that
J is the desire for a thirty-foot paved highway to Portland
designed so later it can be enlarged to a four-lane road which
; is recognized, as the ultimate solution of growing traffic
density on this important roadway. But when it comes to
right-of-way opinions split forty ways. As the Woodburn In
dependent says :
' "And still the controversy rages over details, of the pro
, posed improvement of the highway between Oregon City and
Salem. The CO foot right-of-way Is snfflclent. The SO foot right-'of-way
Is not sufficient, There should be two roads with a strip
between. There should be Jnst one road. The edges should bo
tiled. The edges should not be tned. The state should buy the
additional right-of-way. The county should buy tbe new right-of-way.
And so on. far into the night."
Perhaps the communities, having gotten the consent of
the commission to a 30-foot roadway, should leave the details
up to the commission. Unless we do dissension mar hold nn
the job for months.. We do not want another Portland-to-the-
sea impasse.

THE FRIENDS OF HAL PATTON
The book seller of Salem, Hal
D. Patton. was host to a few -of
his friends on his 60th birthday
and something more than 600 were
In attendance. There were street
cleaners and federal judges, and
merchants, and clerks, and state
officials, and Judges of the state
courts, and members of the city
council of which body Mr. Pat
ton has long been a member and
all sorts of persons from many
walks of -life. The only qualifica
tion a guest need hare was to be
a friend of Hal Patton. What an
astonishing, number and variety.
In a modest way Mr. Patton oc
casionally has been identified with
public life. He has been a member
of the public service commission
and has served also as represen
tative and senator in the state leg
islature. Twice ho has been a dele
gate to republican national con
ventions. But these, we think, are
minor distinctions, when the tes
timony of Hal Patton'a birthday
reception is considered. He has
been selling books for forty years
In Salem, and making friends of
whom he asked no more, than
simple friendship. And the making
of friends is .the golden gift. . It
bears witness to tolerance, and
generosity, and kindliness, and
fine character, as nothing else
might do.
The Oregonian wishes to convey
to Mr. Patton, book seller. Its sin
cere congratulations on the occa
sion of his 60fh birthday. Port

ment prodded the ittle major to see
that he would . t slacken in his
pursuit of El Coyote. And although
Blount bunted early and late, fol

his discomfort "The dear man'
figure is absolutely seductive, and
his digestioo is strong as an os

them. At last he pointed before him.
"Down there it is, Sefior Ted. Be
yond that arroyo is the waterhole.
Let us rest there now, and by eve
ning we shall make the higher coun-
au oe over soon, tuner I win or
lose. I think the border is ready to try where grass is better."
