K Morgan on the Grill
TIE "week's Roman holiday is proceeding with J. P.
Morgan, head of the country's leading financial house,
as the victim of the inquistion. Instead of being a reluctant
witness Morgan seems to .be quite responsive, and the
qitioner jhas asked him plenty of questions about how he
conducts his business. So far not much dirt has been dug
up, which will no doubt be Tdisappointing to the muckrakers
who thought they would get some rich morsels ia the way
of sins of the mighty. There was a mUd shock when tht
; evidence was brought out that the house of Morgan lost so
much' money on stocks the last few years they have paid
no income tax in 1931 and 1932, after paying $11,000,000
for 1929 and $48,000 for 1930. In this respect they are like
; thousands of other bankers, farmers and business men.
The only "off color item so far disclosed was the sale
- of stock in; the Allegheny corporation to a selected list at
$20 a share when it was selling in the market at $31. In
the list of beneficiaries were the , names of Secretary
Woodin and John J. Raskob. This "ground floor" stuff if
an old Wall street and Main street custom; but is indefens-j
ible, and the exposure should prompt establishment of the
one-price policy among investment bankers the same as
with dealers in men's clothing.
The house of Morgan has long been a "holy of holies"
in this country. When opened up, It is found, like most
. sacred arks, nothing unusual is found, certainly nothing
magical. The Morgan bank has made poor loans and bad
guesses, the same as other people. In size it is only a frac-
; tion of the big incorporated banks of New York; and its
money is chiefly invested in government bonds. The Mor
gans, father and son, have never been among the wealthiest
citizens of the country. Others like Ford and Rockefeller
and MellQii have been much richer in their own rightsHJhe
Morgans however built up the financial power of their
house. Sitting at the" nexus of financing, they were in a
position of authority and of responsibility. Thus "Morgan"
became the ogre of those 'who assailed Wall street control.
The present hearing may irub off considerable of the halo
that has grown about the name of Morgan, not so much
by "disclosing wrong-doing as by proving that Morgan him
self is human, that his backing house with its 20 partners
is by no, means immune from business adversities, and that
there is' no mystery-magic about its operations. Robbing
Morgan of his Jove-like character may be as effective a
way of destroying his power as by passing some law.
When the elder Morgan, testified at the Pujo investiga-
' tion in 1912 he said that character; was the best foundation
of credit, and that he was often willing to loan a million
without security to a man whose character he could rely
on. Morgan, fils, has made no such memorable testimony,
bat he did disclose how his house in order to stem the tide
of disaster during the panic, made heavy loans to individ
uals, loaning money to Charlie Mitchell and Dawes and
Myron Taylor and others. But even the house of Morgan
i is no longer strong enough to bolster a world when it ex
plodes in a big way. v
, Morganism is just a natural product of American evo-
lution, with its emphasis on big scale industry and produc
': Son. Morgan has apparently operated on as honorable a
' plane as most of the responsible financial-houses. How many
other businesses could stand the light of day on every trans
action of the last ten years?
- Closing Chemawa School
YES, the government may save money by closing the Sa
lem Indian school at Chemawa. But what about the
Indian boys and girls, the wards of the government, who
will thus be turned out of school? For scores and scores of
them it means the end of getting an education. They will
not go to public schools near

closing Chemawa means for ;'- them no more schooling. It
means reversion of the darkness of primitive Indian life

Capt. Wilkes was a brave offi
cer and a patriotic American, aa
he had shown and was to show on
future occasions. But he was no
optimist. Had he been as far see
ing as the missionaries and the
leading pioneers, he would not
have made so damaging a report
on the Columbia river harbor, nor
would he have advised so strong
ly against the extension of the
first provisional government, with
better defined powers, and Im
provements in Its laws.

TO the editor:
The Morning Statesman of May

ho says, ho was asked to publish
by the men and women who sat
on the jury that tried and acquit
ted Alloulsa Godon ot the charge
ot involuntary manslaughter tor
the killing of Gordon Lacey oa
April 18th."
"A challenge to duty" as the
jurors express it, sounds more
like trying to justify themselves
for tho verdict they rendered.
I attended tho trial and hoard

"tho Godon boy.'. Is a man ST

foot thick. Ho waa small tor his
age, not over five toot tall. How
then could Godon - see his head
and shoulders, as he claims? And
even If he could, how could he
mistake him for a deer. 10 feet

Tho indictment did not charge
Godon with purposely and mali

Did tou want me. Aunt Ervfef
Jean was still walking on sir.- Not
even the thought of AuntlTne's
possible displeasure could penetrate
the warm dream in which she
moved. " " - '
"BUI loves me Bin loves me
It waa a kind of litany re pea tint
itself in her heart, . . T.. .
Bus Aunt Ewle .wasnT dis-
E leased. Now that she was going to
e rid of Joan once and forever, she
felt a glow of something almost liks
affection for her. "After alL she's
been a good girl, considering how
pretty she is. It might have been
worse," she thought. And aloud she
said, "Yes I just - heard from
Cousin Belle,' She's sent the money
for you to go to Philadelphia."
"Philadelphia! Way back East
why Aunt Ewiel"
Joan eouldnt believe It. Sauaa
lito, with occasional visits to Ssa
Rafael, and still rarer trips to San
Francisco had been her world. Te
think of going to Philadelphia!
"Boarding school," Aunt Ervie
continued. "Cousin Belle conducts
a very fine school for young ladies
Youll be expected to help any way
you can"
Boarding school! Magic words.
All the stories of fudge parties,
midnight suppers, and boarding
school adventures passed in quick
succession through Joan's throb
bing' head. To be able to spend the
waiting time the time when Bill
would be away that way. An en
gaged girl in a boarding school.

ge East too. He said he'd have to
ge some place he eouldnt stay In

and they could see each other
often - - ---
"Oh, Aunt Ervie 1" she cried-
and flung eager arms around her
"Oh, I cant tell you -it's the most
wonderful day in my whole life!"
"Weu, dont bo toousn about n,"
Ervie said, not unkindly. She dis
entangled Joan's loving hands and
straightened her stiff white shirt
waist automatically. It occurred tc
her for the first time that it would
bo very quiet fa the old house with
out the girl. Too quiet. Heeley was
a half-wit, and Babe was a simple
ton. Joan at least had been worth j
of battle. -
"She cant go East in that out
fit!" Babe put in sharply. "She's
got to hare clothes. Youto so smart
thinking of everything, Evelyn Vaa
Fleet 1 suppose you didnt think
of that? I knew it would cost more
than just carfare, and whcro'ro you
going to get the moneyx"
-Oh, this is all right m
it, Joan who waa already
ing down a fire-escape in Coc
Belle's School for Young Ladies,
meeting BUI a miraculously tai
lored and glittering BUL with love
in his eyes, and money in his pock
ets, eouldnt be bothered with de
tails. Just let her get there. Every
thing would come out right.
"I'm going to take her over to
the city tomorrow, and get her some
things." Ervie said grandly. "Belle
sent fifty dollars over the price of
the ticket. Ten doUara will be
oceans for meals on the train that
leave forty for clothes."
Forty dollars for clothes. Forty
dollars! It would buy everything
everything she'd ever wanted. And
only the other day she had been cry
ing because she eouldnt hare two
dollars for a blue cotton crepe. But
that waa before BUI came. AH the
good fortune waa mixed up with
BUL The prince came, and directly
the fairy godmother wared her
wand and sent railroad tickets, and
new dresses. ...
It was too wonderf uL Too much
to happen in one day. Blindly grop
ing for her handkerchief, with a
little choked cry she fled to the
friendly quiet of her room.
