Government Paternalism THE tendency of paternalism is to expand and enlarge un til the government is overwhelmed by its undertakings. Charity first, disdained, then accepted with reluctance, is finally demanded as a right. The federal government under Pres. Hoover was very slow to start the system of direct grants of relief knowing full well the difficulty of ever put ting on any brakes. The "new deal" has been more lavish with other people's money, spending not only the income of this generation but mortgaging the incomes of f uture generations. The newest wrinkle in paternalism is loans direct to in dustrial plants, with a total of nearly half a billion author ized. The federal treasury thus becomes the wet-nurse for business concerns. If it opens the vault doors to banks, rail roads, farmers, etc. naturally it cannot stop when business men show up tincup in hand. Yet the Nation (New York liberal weekly) which has clapped hands on most of the new deal spending, condemns this program of making the government the loan agent to succor industrial plants. It says : "Nothing could provide a better example of the wrong way to get the government into business than the bill recently passed by an overwhelming vote in the House providing for direct loans to small industries by the Federal Keserve banks and the RFC. The reserve banks are authorized to lend to small industries for periods of not more than five years a total amount equal to their surplus as of July 1, 1934; this should come to about $140,000. 000. The RFC itself is authorized to make similar loans up to a total of 300,000,000. The effect of this measure must be merely to risk public funds ia loans that are for the most part too ques tionable K tempi private capital. Under the terms of the bill the government will have the privilege of providing capital for firms whose' policies it cannot control; and it is to provide it apparently regardless of whether or not the particular firm or industry being financed serves any genuine social need. Even if we make the dubious assumption that the distribution of the funds will be en tirely free of political pressure, the principles behind the mea sure are thoroughly bad. Five-year loans, no matter how sound, are, to begin with, not properly banking loans at all, and the Fed eral Reserve banks should in no case be called upon to make them. They are capital loans, and ought to be provided through the capital market. If such loans are not now being provided In sufficient amount, it is certainly not through lack of surplus banking; funds or potential private long-terra capital. Even if we grant that commercial banks and private capital are now un duly timid, the history of previous depressions and panics shows that as soon as signs of a genuine and prolonged revival become clear new capital and increased loans do no lag very far behind. The new bill shows how a principle, unsound to begin with, may be more and more dangerously extended. There was an excuse for the RFC as an emergency institution to make loans on sound col- lnfn.nl n knln nsl.nn nAtn m nrilftl K'lTllrc tn bnon I'M II i H Tt C Vl H II 1 never have had any function beyond that." Van Loon on Tahiti HENDRIK VAN LOON who draws fantastically to illus trate the books he writes, is back from a cruise to the South Sea islands. He has lost none of his capacity to satirize on the journey as is proven by the statement that the Bronx is a mora romantic spot than Tahiti. Said Van Loon : "The Bronx is neat and clean and, above all, a train for Manhattan Is Just around the corner. There you can preserve your illusions of romance. But Tahiti nothing but small towners with a watch ticking In one vest pocket and a New England con science ticking In the other. And here they sit making love to the brown skinned maidens their New England consciences have made them marry and wondering what to do with their children that are neither one thing nor the other. Is it any wonder that they die of dry rot!" People who live in the wide open spaces commiserate the denizens of city tenements. The truth is these people for the most part are happier there than they would be out where the west begins, or ends. In the matter of residence, one man's meat. ... The Bend-Bulletin comments that there are bad rumors afloat regarding foundations for the Bonneville dam, and intimates that political tea! prevents proper investigation of the geological conditions at the site. Recalling San Fernando in California, we would not think any engineers would construct a dam without being positive as to its solidity. The Bulletin says "it would be high journalistic enterprise on the part of one of the great Portland newspapers to bring out the facts." It would indeed, before the dam is built, rather than after some major catastrophe. The soviet government Is not the least bit squeamish when It comes to wiping out those who get In its way. TraitorB are made sub ject to death by a firing squad and their families to deportation to Siberia. The newspaper Prayda says "Protection of the fatherland is the highest law of life. Those who betray the nation must be de stroyed." Orthodox Marxism is supposed to be truly international and to denounce patriotism. Yet the Russians are as nationalistic as the so-called capitalist powers. ' Sen. McNary made a good speech the other night, outlining the duties of the republican party in saving the country from the bane ful effects of misguided experimentation now going on. As minority leader McNary is in position to speak with considerable authority; and he spoke out In much more positive terms than he customarily does. Evidently he sees the cracking up of the new deal in important quarters. "A nudist visited the national capital the other day. Probably just a taxpayer hunting for his clothes," says a paragraph in the Statesman this morning. We wonder if the paragrapher thinks he was the only one who listened to Richfield news flashes last night? Sips in Capital Journal. Dunno; the f-er referred to doesn't listen to Richfield. And the Item was written in the afternoon. Grants Pass had a variant of "the boy stood on the burning deck". The boy was asleep In a woodshed which caught fire, but he escaped without inspiring any poetry. The grange over In 'Washington adopted resolutions favoring pub lie ownership of all natural resources. Let's see, that would start with land, wouldn't it? Just one word for all who go on the picnic today. Don't become so engrossed in the beautiful scenery you forget to watch the road. Some of those turns are sharp.

HENDRICKS Judge Matthew P. Deady: Colorful old time Oregon career; broke new ground, marked new trails in law; ' (Continuing from yesterday:) The first and organizing meeting of the Oregon Pioneer association was held at Butteville. in 1873. the second in the famous Aurora park in 1874. and the third at the state fair grounds, Salem. S S The annual address for the 1875 meeting was by Judge Matthew P. Deady. It was on June 15. The speaker reviewed the history of the Oregon country. After Intro ductory remarks, quoting: "s "You could not have selected a more appropriate day for the occa sion, than this. Just 29 years ago, your only rival and competitor for the possession of this goodly land, by the treaty of Washington, In effect admitted, that the Oregon pioneer, unaided by his govern ment, and despite the deeply in terested opposition of the far reaching Hudson's Bay company, backed by the power and diplo macy of the English crown, al though bringing with him across the trackless wilda of the con tinent little else but his family, the school and the church, had succeeded In occupying the coun try and rearing therein, upon these institutions, as foundation stones, the enduring edifice of an American state." Later alone, the sDeaker nald Dr. John McLoughlin a ereat and fitting tribute, from which a few words are quoted: "Had he turn ed his back upon the early mis sionary or settler and left them to Daliy Health Talks By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M.D. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M, D. United States senator from New York Former Commixsioner of Health, New York City ' HEMOPHILIA IS a Strang and unusual disease. It Is fortunate it is not a common affliction. Victims of this ailment are often spoken of as "bleeders". They are called this be cause they are subject to severe bleeding and hemorrhages. Contrary to a popular belief, hemophilia is not a new disease. It baa been known for generations. Reference to It la found In ancient historical writ ings. Some of the greatest notables of the world have b e n sufferers Dr. Copeland from it I am often asked whether hemo philia is a hereditary disease. Of this there Is no doubt Strange as It may seem, the dlseas occurs only In males of tbe white rce. It Is transmitted through the maternal aids of the family. By this X mean that even though It Is not found In the daughters of a family suffering from this affficUon, these daughters may pass tt on to their male offspring. For example, m daughter may have hemophilia but show no ill effects or signs of the disease. 8be is not a "bleeder, but If she marries and has children, her male offspring wm be "bleeders". Sufferers Should Not Marry Unfortunately, ones the disease has become established in a family It will persist until that family becomes ex tinct. For this reason medical au tboritiM advise sufferers from this rare disturbance to refrain from shift for themselves, the occupa tion of the country by Americans would have been seriously retard ed, and attended with much great er hardship and suffering than it was. As has been truly and elo quently said of him by another: 'He was a great man upon whom God had stamped a grandeur of character which few men possess, and a nobility which the patent of no earthly sovereign can confer. His standard of commercial in tegrity would compare with that of the best of men. As & Chris tian, he was a devout Roman Catholic, yet nevertheless catholic in the largest sense of that word'." S After a concise though complete historic sketch of the old Oregon country's discovery, exploration and first comers of the white race, Judge Deady said: "The actual oc cupation of Oregon for the pur pose of claiming and holding the country . did not commence un til after 1840. Very naturally the movement began in the west, and had its -greatest strength in Mis souri, Illinois and Iowa. The panic of 1837 and the subsequent stag nation of business had produced a feeling of despondency in the west. Especially, in the state nam ed, there was no market for stock or produce, and money had almost ceased to be a circulating medium. Taxes could scarcely be paid, and many persons feared that the land must ultimately be sold, to pay the public debts and expenses. This state of things helped very much to turn the public attention to Oregon, as a sure refuge from panics, bank failures, high taxes, and all the other ills, real or imaginary, under which the ex treme western states were then marrying. But too often the disease Is overlooked or confused with some other similar ailment, and the stigma is carried on for generations. I am glad to say that hemophilia la now more accurately diagnosed than In former years. In most mod ern hospitals a routine blood test is conducted on all paUents admitted. This often reveals the affliction in persona who are unaware of having the tendency. This is a valuable test because tt Is the means of dis covering the disease In children and adults, too, prior to their undergoing an operation. When It la overlooked, an operation or Injury may prove fatal because of the severe and un controllable hemorrhage that fol lows. A common quesUon asked by wor ried persons who are convinced that they are "bleeders" Is, "What meas ures can be taken to prevent the dis ease?" I am happy to say that In most instances It Is found that the descriptions are not at all like the symptoms of hemophilia. A victim of hemophilia bleeds upon the slightest provocation. A simple blow, scratch, or fall may be suffi cient to cause a severe hemorrhage. Often the disease Is first detected by the profuse bleeding that follows a small abrasion, or simple operaUon, such as the extraction of a tooth. Severe bleeding due to any slight cause should arouse suspicion of hemophilia. Careful survey of the family history and accurate blood tests should be conducted without de lay.

(The reader, perhaps, will reflect regretfully that there is not another such land as the Oregon country now, for a refugo from such conditions and fears.) S S Judge Deady' paid his respects to many prominent pioneers. Among other things he said of Jesse Applegate: "He has written his plain Saxon name upon every page of the early annala of the country. Without being in any sense a party leader or direct man ager of men and having but little of the huckstering talent that con duces to getting along in the world, yet by force of his self ab negation and Catonian indepen dence his ever asserted individ uality and persisent pressure upon the mobile masses he has left the impress of his thoughts, opinions and prejudices all along the pages of history." S He spoke of James W. Nesmlth In these words: "Nesmith was a roving " ' youth to fortune and to fame unknown, Fair science frowned not on his humble birth.' "But a person of his great na tural ability could not long re main in the background of this young and free community. He soon wore the colonial ermine, and sat in. the legislative halls, and commanded in the armies of the provisional government. He has since held many responsible pub lic positions, including the offices of representative and senator in the congress of the United States, with usefulness to the country and credit to himself. His braid Scotch humor and peerless, pitiless, pun gent wit, have made him famous on both shores of the republic. When his brief candle is out, any of ua who remain may exclaim: " ' He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again'." S In a similar strain. Judge Deady spoke of Peter H. Burnett, who became the first governor of Cali fornia; Daniel Waldo, who gave the name to the Waldo Hills; Jo seph Holman, grandfather of Jo seph H. Albert; Joseph Watt, mov ing spirit in building the first woolen mill on the Pacific coast, at Salem, and of numerous others of the early pioneers of Oregon, many of whom were at that time still living. S Reverting to Judge Deady's de cision In the Kell colony dissolu tion case, and Its historic implica tions: The reader might with profit turn to St. Paul's letter to the church at PhUippi, written from his prison room in Rome. Using the Moffatt translation, he said, as related in chapter 2, verses 2, 3 and 4: "I pray you to give me the utter joy of knowing you are liv ing in harmony, with the same feelings of love, with one heart and soul, never acting for private ends or vanity, but humbly con sidering each other the better man, and each with an eye to the interests of others as well as his own." The reader might go on, to and including verse 11, and still on to verse 20, chapter 3, in which Paul told his people at Philippi, "WE ARE A COLONY OF HEAVEN." TPaul meant that every Christian church should be A COLONY OF HEAVEN.) s s That is the life the Keil com munity lived. They were A COL ONY of HEAVEN. They observed the Golden Rule; they were con sistently "living in harmony, with the same feeUngs of love, with one heart and one soul, never acting for private ends or vanity" and, further than these requirements of the Golden Rule, they were ever "humbly considering each other the better man." That is, they lived according to Paul's Diamond Rule, given in his CHAPTER XXVIII. Ann and Nance were at a win dow, looking down on the busy street below and away over the wilderness of buildings. "Hit's plum' awful, ain't hit?" muttered Nance. "Not a tree ner a bush ner a hill ner nothin jest folks an' automobiles an' cars an' buildings, fer as a body can look. How in Gawd-a-mirhty's world do you reckon they all make out to live? Hit sure beats me." "Shucks 1" returned Ann. "Hit's all in the way a body looks at hit. Me, I'm a-honin' to git right down thsr amongst 'em an rustle 'round with the best Hit's Gawd's truth, Nance, I'm a-feelin' thirty year younger a'ready. I reckon if hit warn't fer Herb I'd be plum' fool ish a-steppin' high, like's not, an' a-gettin' into all sorts of trouble nice interestin' trouble, I mean. Whoo-eel All this hyear's sure a ioag way from the Pine Knob neighborhood hit sure is t" "Hit's all right fer sich as you an' Herb, mebbe," returned Nance, dolefully, "but I've seen enough right now to know I can't never stand hit 111 iest curl up an' die sure." "Youll be all right soon's I git as a real place to live," returned Ann. Nance looked at her with fresh alarm. "What be you a-meanin' by that?" "I mean as how I aim to git we ans a sure-'nough house, with bed rooms down close to the ground, an' our own automobiles, an' our own help what don't have to be tipped every time a body turns 'round, an' whar we-uns can say who's to come in an' who ain't. I can see right now these hyear hotels ain't made to live in; they're jest places to stop at till a body can git some whars else." "Huh!" retorted Nance. "Mebbe you'll say whar you 'low to find sich a thing's a sure-'nough house in sich a Gawd-awful place as this." "You don't need to fret yoursef none. IU find hit soon's me an' Herb gits a chance to look 'round a bit. Mebbe Herb won't like this city 'nough to settle down hyear. Mebbe we-uns'll jest up an' move on. You can't tell, we-uns might go fai as New York. Hit all de pends. First thing, you an' me's got to git us seme clothes. I aim fer us to look like John Herbert's wimmenfolks ought to look." Nance looked around uneasily. "Be you plum' certain thar's money 'nough, Ann?' I never seen nothin' like the way you're a-spendin'. You done paid six dollars jest fer what we-uns et at one n?al on the train. I seed you. These hyear rooms must be costin you a sight. Ill bet they ain't a mite less'n two dol lars apiece." Ann laughed. "Shucks! I reckon as how I could buy this whole she ban? right out if I wax a-wantin' to bother with hit.' She continued with a show of impatience: "You jest can't seem to git hit into spur dumb haid, Nance, that what old John Haskel done left was a real fortune. Hit ain't no measly little smell of money ; hit's nigh onto two million. An' that's more'n some kings has got." "Mebbe I can't sense how much two millions of money is," Nance retorted, grimly, "but I know good an' well when hit's found out what you done to git hit, an' made me do " She halted and shrank back from the danger lights which flashed in her mountain companion's eyes. "I ain't meanin' no harm, Ann honest to Gawd I ain't meanin' to tell nothin'." The telephone rang. The two backwoods women stared at the instrument. "My Gawd-a-mighty!" wailed Nance, "thar hit comes right now. That thar's a warnin' fer we-uns to git ready fer the police.' "Shet up!" snapped Ann. "No matter what tis if you open your fool mouth 111 peel your scalp if hit's the last move I make. "I reckon we-uns best git Herb," prior letter to the Roman church, "Be kindly affectioned one to an other with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another." s s s Thus living, they banished from their hearts both selfishness and self seeking, as shown in the Judge Deady decision, preserved in the vaults of the U. S. court at Port land. And, thus living, they accom plished the Impossible; achieved In one short generation what the world has believed and stUl be lieves cannot be dae in a thou sand or a million years changed human nature. Thus they lived the LAW OF LOVE; observed the New Commandment of the Last Supper. So, when the division of their worldly goods was made, and each was given full opportunity and ample time to demand more than he or she had received, no one de sired more for himself or herself, but a number asked that more be given their neighbors and every such request was fulfilled. b w s There- are texts in this for a thousand sermons and the pre diction is here made that it will in good time be the subject of a million sermons. (Continued on Tuesday) Move Turkey Crop to Brooder Farm TURNER, June 9. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Myres who are run ning a large turkey brooder with 4.000 capacity in the edge of Tur ner have transferred the most of the first two hatches to their farm South of Marion. The last hatch estimated at 3,000, will soon be brought to the brooder house. Prof. L. J. Uhrhammer is leav ing for a month's vacation, to be spent at his mining claim in south ern Oregon. Norman Whitehead will accompany him. Mrs. Uhr hammer and young daughter will remain with friends. LaVerna Whitehead, Elanor Parks, Robert Ball and Dorothy Schifferer, holders of scholarship, to the 4-H two-weeks summer school at Corvalls State College are leaving for the session which opens Monday. Plans are being formulated for the annual state convention of the Christian church to be held in the Turner Tabernacle opening June 26, and closing the follow ing Sunday night she added as the bell repeated the call. "Hell know how to work the thing." t But even as she spoke, the door to her son's room opened and the young man entered. While the two backwoods women watched with breathless interest he went to the instrument. . "Hello! . . . This is Mrs. Haskel's son speaking. . . . What is yonr business with my mother, Mr. Belden?" With quick decision Ann crossed the room and placed her hand -on her son's arm. "Wait a minute, Herb. If anybody 'lows they got business with me, IU do the talkm'." Smiling, the young man silently passed the receiver to his mother. "Hah!" cried Ann, with childish delight and wonder. "Sounds like he war right hyear in this room. Beatin'est thing I ever see. Wal, scat my cats!" "Answer him, mother," whis pered John Herbert. "Say some thing or hell hang up." "Yes sure, this is me' she shouted into the instrument. "Not so loud! not so loud!" laughed her son. "Sure," said Ann, "this hyear's Ann Hsskel. You can't see me, but Fm sure right hyear a-talkin' to you. . . . Belden, heh? . . . Never hyeafd tell of you that I recollect. . . . Whar be you? . . Right down stairs? . . . Sure 'nough? . . . Wal, IU be snatched. . . . WaL why don't you come along trft hyear whar I be if you're a-wantin' to see me bad 'nough to come fur's you have?" "Wal. wouldn't that git you?" she exclaimed when John Herbert had shown her about hanging the receiver on the hook. "I sure wouldn't never 'a' believed hit if I hadn't done hit myself. You ought to try hit once, Nance; hit's past all-git-out." "But, mother, who is this man Belden and what does he want?" "I'll find all that out when he gits up hyear whar I can take a look at him," returned Ann. "That's one thing this hyear telephone can't do show you what the body doin' the talkin' looks like. Mostly you can go more on folks' looks than you can on their talk." "You must be careful, mother, about receiving every Tom, Dick, or Harry that wants to interview you. There will be all sorts of people trying to impose upon you." "Like's not he's one of these hyear detectives you hyear about, or mebbe a policeman or a reve nuer," said Nance. "You ain't got no call to take sich chances, Ann. Tain't safe. You'd best listen to me an' " Ann silenced her with a look. "I ain't afeared to see anybody," the mountain woman said, coldly. "I've alius took care of myself an' I aim to keep right on a-doin' hit" Mr. James Belden proved to be a well-fed, well-groomed gentleman with a generously rounded front and an unmistakable air of pros perity. Judging from his white hair, he was well past middle-age. His countenance was kindly. His blue eyes, if somewhat questioning, were frank and honest. His man ner was business-like but seemed to express as well a spirit of friendly interest, together with a quite jus tifiable curiosity. "My business with you, Mrs. Haskel " "Never mind tellin' me your busi ness, mister, til I know some thin' about you. You say as how your name's Belden, but that ain't a-meanin' nothin' to me. Might's well be Smith or Jones. How'd you know we-uns war hyear? We-uns didn't tell nobody we war comin'." Mr. BeMen's eyes twinkled his approval. "Fair enough, madam, fair enough. I may say, Mrs. Has kel, that it is our practice to ah note occasionally the arrival in the city of important personages; peo ple, you understand, who might prove to be desirable clients. The hotel register, of course, informed me that yon were here." "I ain't never been no important personage yit mister," returned Ann, dryly.

Mr. Belden, surprised, admitted that he was. "Uh-huh, you sure look like hit. Some lawyers air all right an' some aint Know a lawyer named Lev ering, do you?" . "Levering? . . . Levering? I do not at the moment recall the name, Mrs. Haskel. Does he practice in this city?" "Mebbe he does an' mebbe he dont He lives in Holmesburg, Pennsylvania, when he's to home." "No, I'm quite sure I have never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Levering. , "Wal, he's a fine man. He's my lawyer. Knows his business, too. He'd jest natchaliy skin anybody alive what tried to sharp-trick me. That's what I pay him fer. Mebbe you know Jedge Shannon?" Mr. Belden's kindly face beamed. "Jtrdge Shannon ! Do you mean the Detroit Judge Shannon? We have been friends for many years. I met him first in that famous rail road case. Pollock versus the D. K. and O. He was for the defense. I was on the other side. We became friends and the friendship has en dured. Great man, Shannon. Great lawyer. High principles very high. Well, well well! So you are friends of my old friend Shannon? Why, of course, of course! I remember now. The last time I saw the judge he spoke of a young chap a sort of ward of his John John John Her bert That's it John Herbert Haskel. Well, well! We were jok ing each other about being bache lors, and he said he had the best of me because he had a boy. Said he raised him from a baby, almost Boy was at school in Ann Arbor at the time." The lawyer fixed his questioning eyes on Ann Haskel's son, and the young man, deeply moved, an swered : "Judge Shannon has been almost more than a father to me, sir since my own father's death." "Well, well, well! To think of finding friends of Judge Shannon's like this!" He laughed as if at some joke which he did not offer to share. "One never can tell; friends pop np in the most unex pected places. Haven't you found it so, madam?" His blue eyes twinkled with merriment and he seemed to be fairly hugging him self with enjoyment the cause of which he continued to keep to him self, and which did not appear to be at all justified by his discovery that these people were friends of Judge Shannon's. John Herbert said, with a smile: "So it was Judge Shannon who asked you to call on mother, Mr. Belden. I wrote the judge about the change in our circumstances and told him we were coming here. It was like him to " "No, no," cried the lawyer. "You are all wrong. I give you my word I have had no communication of any sort from Shannon for several months. No, Mr. Haskel, I came to see your mother wholly on a mat ter of business a matter which, I may say, ia of considerable im portance to me professionally." "Ary man what's a friend of Jedge Shannon air bound to be all right," said the mountain woman, gruffly. "Now, what business you got with me, Mr. Belden?" "My business, Mrs. Haskel," Bel den returned, still smiling, "is, briefly, this: I have a house I should say aa estate which I de sire to lease to some one who would appreciate living in a real home rather than in a hotel or an apart ment The place was owned by one of my clients who died.
