One Man Proposes
1 A T NO TIME since the world war has the fate of the na
: xVtion been so entrusted to.ime man. .. Until the president
speaks to congress early next month such momentous ques
tion for public discussion as the budget, new taxes, relief, old
age pensions, must be considered on the basis of speculation.
The president, not congress, is making the plans.
The democratic sweep of last month, in giving the power
- of a dictator to Mr. Roosevelt who espouses democratic forms,
: robs him of much of the initiative and fair criticism which
' the congressional branch should give the executive In the
: present situation, the administration is prosecutor, judge and
, jury.
Men reporting on Mr. Roosevelt's views indicate- repeat
edly In recent weeks that any balance in the budget is impos
sible. More public works are forthcoming. The president
, appears to have found the old-age and unemployment insur-
ance group is going faster than he wishes; they will try to
' corral him with a plan and huge funds to sponsor it at the
: next session.
j v The public cannot help becoming alarmed at the post.
The government's debt is now the largest in history. Five
j years of progressively larger deficits have added 14 billions
J to Uncle Sam's obligations. Such surplus funds as banks ac
i cumulate are being sucked back to the federal treasury which
! is not running the risk of trying to sell its obligations to the
general public j
'.' There is a vicious circle to the present deficit financing
j carried on by the administration. If banks did not buy the
bonds, as offered, bond prices would fall. With banks so
lareely the purchaser of p-overnment bonds, n fw nninte tum
ble in their valuation would be
the banks. Thev must keen the
, chasing is inflation of credit a stuffing of the normal credit
reservoirs with the government's own debt tokens.
No one is wise enouerh to know when the trend tn infla
tion will stop. Most persons seem content to let Mr. Roosevelt
.... . do he worrying. Within his own party some cases of jit
! ters have developed; men like Senators Glass, Robinson and
1 Byrd see the dangerous direction in which federal finances
are going? The recent wooing of business by the administra
tion is itself an admission that the palliatives of the last two
years have been meagre helps and that prosperity has not
come DacK tnroucn them.
Martin and State Reorganization
GOVERNOR-ELECT MARTIN'S nine-man planning board
wants a legislative act to give inactivities of ficial status.
At the same time the newly elected- governor announces he
. will ask the legislature for blanket power to consolidate vari
ous boards and commissions at the statehouse. The two pro
posals are inconsistent. There is no reason to give legislative
status to the Martin kitchen cabinet; there is good cause to
give the incoming governor wide authority in arranging the
functioning of the present administrative department of gov
ernment. -
General Martin will have a hot time, however, when he
comes to shuffle the boards and bureaus. Mr. Roosevelt has
been granted the same power but bureaus have multiplied
rather than diminished under the new deal The general will
find every branch of the executive department of government
nnder the dome fighting for its life with a uniformly capable
lobby at the session. '
If the general desires to do real pioneering in better gov
ernment, however, he will go through with the reorganization
tf the state's, bureaus. Numerous consolidations are possible.
All moneys received by them should go into the state's general
fund and all expenditures should be through legislative ap
propriation. Any student of Oregon's government affairs
knows such reorganization is in the public interest; the only
way it can be accomplished is by a wide legislative grant
which will make the governor, rather than the legislature, the
executioner of excessive bureaus.

j Senator McNary and Dr. Townsend
LEAVE it to "Charlie" McNary to'make friends of all dis
cordant elements in the political band.
Dr. Townsend, the $200-a-month Utopian, has been in
Washington of late, disturbing not a few congressmen who
found their good judgment in conflict with the Townsend fan
mail received from their constituents. In due time, the doc
tor's itinerary led to the desk of Oregon's senior senator. We
i can picture the pleasant greeting he received, the thorough
hearing, and at last suggestions on procedure:
First, Dr. Townsend was to get Mr. Roosevelt's support
all important if congress was to act favorably.
- Then "Pat" Harrison of the finance committee was to be
V taken into camp his job was to provide the money.
These hurdles over, Dr. Townsend was to arrange with
t Senator Robinson to place his measure on the calendar,
1 Meanwhile happy thought Senator McNary 's confer
ence room was available to Dr. Townsend and the senator
! would see to it that the senate pensions committee gave Dr.
. Townsend a thorough hearing, af ter; of course, the pathway
was smoothed with the president and the democratic senate
leaders. Dr. Townsend had been placated, the problems of
the next step shifted to the democrats and ihe senator had
avoided a showdown on a controversial issue.
Here's an example in political charm the newest senate
office boy might emulate; it explains why nobody is "out to
tet" the senior senator from Oregon.

Continuing review of
1874 Salem Directory:
A part of the matter under
"Manufactories" in the Salem Di
rectory for 187 read: "Oregon
Agricultural' Works: These works
were erected by Rev. A. Myers, In
the summer of 1872, and the
building now completed Is 166
feet long by 60 wide, constructed
of brick on a solid trap rock foun
dation of massive proportions
which extends to the first floor;
there are three stories besides the
basement.
"These works are supplied with
the mQst convenient and safe wa
ter power In the state on the
same race which supplies the Sa
lem Mills. (Meaning ' flouring
mills.) At present there is only
one double turbine wheel of 30
horsepower In the flume, but
space Is provided for five more,
there being ample water for their
nse. It Is designed to erect a wing
of 100 by 10 feet, for the purpose
of establishing a large foundry
and blacksmith shop, so that ev
ery portion of the agricultural
machinery will be made In this
establishment.
"At present a portion of the
building has been rented by Cooke
ft Dennis and L. Cheesborough;
but ft is the intention, as soon as
active operations commence to oc
cupy the entire establishment for
manufacturing agricultural Im
plements. "We hope In our next Directory
to be able to record the fact that
this enterprise has been carried to
successful completion. With the
united efforts, of one-halt the
farmers of Oregon, the Immense
importations of agricultural im
plements to this state might be
prevented, and the mone? retain
ed at home for public and private
enterprises." ;
Is
That was quite a dream; a
worthy one. bat Impossible of ac
complishment short of a miracle.
A
' Mr. Cheesborough. by the way,
who was renting part of the apace
of the Oregon agricultural works
building, owned and was operat
ing "the bag factory," manufac
turing "flour bags, burlaps, grain
sacks, tents, etc." He had two
sewing, machines run by. water
power, with a capacity of 2000
flojir sacks a day, "with room and
power, to greatly Increase the
number when necessary." A par
agraph read: "Messrs. Cheesbor
ough A Co. are now reaping the
reward for their untiring indus
try in establishing a permanent
and profitable business, which has
lastly become widely known."
Salem has no such factory now;
though, some day, bags will be
made here by millions, from flax
products bags In a wide variety
of kinds. Should hare been for
years and years.
i The 1874 Directory mentioned
the Premium Wagon Factory;
started in 1870 by Cunningham
4 Co., with Chas. Bowie, a mem
ber of the firm, superintendent,
the wagons being known as "The
Bowie Wagon," which had earned
for themselves a good reputation,
r Mr. Bowie had before that time
lived at Aumsville, and carried on
the same line successfully there.
(Aumsville was quite a center
oncost h o v g h then generally
known- as "Hogum."),
The wagon factory of which
Bowie was superintendent had al
ready made in Salem over 200
lumber and express wagons and
carriages, and won first premiums
at every state fair. Their factory
was at the southwest corner of
State t and Front streets the cor
ner south of the present Salem
Iron Works.
V V I
The pioneer oil mill was de
scribed as having '"been in op
eration since 1867, and manufac
tured almost enough oil to sup
ply Oregon," that is, until 1874,
when the company was nnable to
obtain enough flax seed to keep
the mill constantly in operation.
The quality of Salem linseed oil
gave it a premium price over com
peting oils. The capacity was 60,
000 bushels annually. The oil
cake by-product was in demand
for feeding stock. The straw and
lint went to ready markets for
upholstering. ;
That mill occupied the proper
ty that in the early nineties went
to the Kay woolen mill as a sub
sidy "for locating In Salem; the
people of Salem having paid 120,
O00 for the property and given it
to the Kay people as an induce
ment for coming; a good invest
ment. The writer remembers
well; he was in that .campaign to
raise 120,000; no easy Job, then.
Would not be now, either.
S
Some day, there will be an
other linseed oil mill in or near
Salem; perhaps several. There
will be linseed on as long as there
Is anything to paint, and paint
will be needed as long as there
is rust or rot
- ;
There were' more sewing ma
chine agents In Salem In 1874
than there are now. Evidently
when a man could think of noth
ing else, he got a sewing ma
chine agency; like an auto ser
vice station now, or a roadside
lunch counter or city restaurant.
8ewing machines were rather
new then, and with new people
coming all the time, the satura
tion point was not reached quick
ly the saturation point for sew
ing machines. , ;
Perhaps the thrifty ! husband
got his wife for Christmas a sew
ing machine, as some hay been
said to get their better halves
washing machines. j --
