Unsensational Hoover
PERSONS who know President Herbert Hoover intimately,
have scant patience with the oft-repeated criticism that
Hoover is cold, egotistical, a representative of wealth and
aloof to human suffering. The friends of the president, CaU
fornians for example, who knew him before he was chief
executive, firmly declare that Hoover is a most humane man,
vitally interested in common people and extremely sym
pathetic. Never s.n affable, eftusiye, greeter type of man, his
reserve has created in the minds of the public a Quaker aus
terity not justified by the predent's motives and achons..
The president's "two cars in every garage and a chick
en in every pot" were probably the optimistic epigrams or a
ghost writerbut they reflect axlesire on Mr. Hoover's part
in ever widening prosperity for the working man. In toe
month after the October, 1929, debacle, it was Hooyer
who first and continuously pleaded for retentionof higfe
wages and the sacrifice, first, of profits and dividends. It
has been Hoover who has been urging better homesfor
Americans and who has tried through the home loan bank
to underwrite thdr sound financing.
- Hoover is not a spectacular leader in human improve
ment. He doesn't intone his doctrines to f orgottej a men or
like Cactus Jack, throw strips of pork to an angry mob. But
he has tried to underpin such pubUc-serving institutions as
the banks and the railroads and through them to bring human
improvement. He has been a steady, consistant promulgator
of peace and of reduced armamants.
Unfortunately for Hoover as a political leader and for
his supporters he is unable to stand on his head like Alfalfa
Bill, he looks austire beside the smiling Roosevelt, and he does
the constructive, behind-the-scenes, impersonal work instead
of the flashy, headline-making personal gymnastics of a less
modest and capable man.
Time, to Quit Spending Unpaid Money
THE City of Salem in its tardy financial retrenchment
like the State of Oregon, which delayed until after mid
year to start oiierations which might have balance ita
budget. Both governments now are finding that and
salary cuts'and other economies will not oe sufficient by the
end of the year to keep 1932 tgo low 193rome. As
a result the city may have to do nsiderabletorrbwing just
as the state will have to do, the latter's deficit being : sure
to go up by at lejt one million dollars over the deficit at tne
Theson far this unbalance lies in the fact ; that toe
city -and the state both assumed that estimates i of '1932 in
come made late in 1931 were fairly acxurate Instead both
eovernments found actual cash income far below estimate
Instead of promptly and decisively meeting toe new
situation by retrsnched outgo the governments waited until
mid-year to cut down. The result means incrrrowing.
There is no use now to bemoan the mistakes made bythe
citylldermS? or state officials failing to meet fie trying
c rcunStances of this year as they arose. Certainly for toe
remaSof the year and in 1933, actual cash spent by toe
Itatfand the cits should ni exceed the actual cash taken ml
Delinquent taxes should not be spent before received. The

Today there are model colonies

many hare returned from these col

Isolation Is still considered the
best method of preventing the

many individuals who have a mud

menace to other individuals, these

came to select places tor Pres

uses and the Nes Perces. and to
ask lands for these missions. He
employed me as interpreter in
his negotiations with the Indi
ans on that occasion. ' Mr. Pom
brun (Pierre C. Pambrum), the
gentleman then in charge ot the
tort accompanied him to the
Cayuses and Nes Perces.
"Mr. Parker, in company with
Mr. Pombrun, an American and
myself, went first to the Cayuses
upon the lands called Waillatpu.
that belonged to three chiefs-
Split ted Lip, or Tomtipl, Red
Cloak, or Waptachtakamal, and
Tilinkaikt (Tllokalkt) Having
met them at that time, he told
them that he was coming to se
lect a place to build a preaching
house to teach them how to lire.
and to teach school to their chil
dren; that he would not come
himself to establish the mission,
but a doctor" or medicine man
would come in his place; that
the doctor would be the chief ot
the mission and would come in
the following spring. 'I come to
select a place for a mission. said
he, 'but I do not Intend to take
your lands tor nothing. After the
doctor Is come, there will come
every year a big ship loaded with
goods to be divided among the
Indians. Those goods will not be
"sold, but given to you. The mis
sionaries will bring you ploughs
and hoes, to learn how to culti
vate the land, and they will not
sell, but give them to you.
"From the Cayuses, Mr. Par
ker went., to the Nes Perces,
about 12 S miles distant on the
lands ot the Old Button, on a
small creek which empties into
the Clear Water at seven, or eight
miles from the actual mission.
And there he made the same
promisee to the Indians as at
Waillatpu. 'Next spring there will
come a missionary to establish
himself here, and take a piece ot
land; but lie will not take it for
nothing; you shall ba paid erery
year, this: is the American fash
ion." ' :
-In. the following year. 183,
Dr. Whitman arrived among the
Cayuses and began to-build. The
Indians did not atop him, - as
they expected to he paid, as they

year, 18S7, Splttted Up asked
