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-

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.

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

these institutions, as foundation
stones, the enduring edifice of an
American state."

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. Answers to Health Queries

groaning, as they never have
since." (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

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.

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

"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

didn't tell nobody we war comin'."
Mr. BeMen's eyes twinkled his
approval. "Fair enough, madam,
fair enough. I may say, Mrs. Has

note occasionally the arrival in the
city of important personages; peo
ple, you understand, who might
prove to be desirable clients. The

me that yon were here."
"I ain't never been no important

Ann, dryly. "But I'm sure aimin'

Mr. Belden, surprised, admitted
that he was.
"Uh-huh, you sure look like hit.

"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.

"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

Great lawyer. High principles
very high. Well, well well! So
you are friends of my old friend
Shannon? Why, of course, of

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

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

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

"Ary man what's a friend of
Jedge Shannon air bound to be all

gruffly. "Now, what business you
got with me, Mr. Belden?"
"My business, Mrs. Haskel," Bel
