IN HIS call for a special session Governor Martin urged tHat the legislature confine its attention I to the matter of re r - building the state capitol and making the state social secur ity program conform to the national program. While he may ' be spitting in the wind" to get the' legislators to limit their law-making to one or twa subjects, the extra topic he has . included is one on which the state is ill-prepared to legislate. If the governor means to bring pensions down to age 65 and ' to adopt unemployment insurance schemes then there is more to the problem than just passing a few laws handed out from a new deal bureau in Washington. There is the matter of fin- arrce, of cost, of distributing the burden, " ; . . In many respects the social security act which congress passed might be called social insecurity. jjWe do not see how it can help but result in transfer of heavy costs to employed " labor; There are thousands of t expenses: because they cannot; increase selling costs, either i because o competition or falling off of! demand. Added fees for social security in such places . will be at the expense of i labor because cither .wages rates will be reduced, some labor ,ers laid off, or the plant will shut downi : ? i ; t 1 .j Prom many sides the federal act is' criticised as. a half baked scheme, a political face-saver for the administration, a gold brick for the impoverished. Now it is proposed to have : 'Oregon rush into similar legislation which is bound to be likewise immature, unseasoned and faulty; All in the name of loyalty, to the new deal which has collapsed on many fronts, ; and in which the public is showing a growing loss of faith. '" , It is unfortunate that nominal party loyalty or political pressure forces Gov; Martin to include i this in his session agenda. : Much better to have some legislative commission study the question and report at the 1937 session. : ; . Airplane Crashes ' A IRPLANE crashes receive publicity out of proportion to similar (disasters in other branches of transportation. " ; This is natural because people still have the notion that flying is ultra-hazardous. A bus or train wreck with several killed would have local prominence; but tfce crashing of a big plane with. some "fatalities gets scareheads from coast to coast. Air travel is dangerous; and so is automobile travel; or crossing State street; or riding a bicycle. But the acci- dents in flying are comparatively few in proportion to the " number of miles flown each day, just as the auto accident deaths appalling as their numbers are, are few relative to the ; large number driving on the highways. C x The Wyoming crash is a real tragedy, and one with seem Iagly so little necessity, because flying conditions were re , ported good and the ship was on its correct course. Another . mystery is that of the Standard Oil plane which visited Salem only a few weeks ago and took state officials on an air tour of the northwest, and now'is reported missing in Utah. Still another plane crash in New Mexico cost a life. ' ' All of these cases are regrettable. They, will not stop aviation, nor should they; but they should force closer atten tion to prevention of accidents by conservative piloting and t by . rigid standards of inspection of mechanical condition of planes. : . . - '. , Interlude AT present the Willamette valley is enjoying the closest imi--tation to real midwest Indian, summer that it ever does. We miss the frost here; but we have the mellow, warm afternoons' and the fresh, crisp evenings. Against the green of the conifers the yellow, of turning maple leaves, the red of sumac and the dull brown of the oaks signal the dying of their season. Fields are sere with stubble or black with fresh turned earth. Red and yellow apples litter ; the ground in the orchards. Grey, haze of smoke or of fog.hangs over the dis tant hUls and filters through the tall firs. Just now the moon is golden at night. . j . ' ' . It is the delicious interlude between summer and win ter, the pause between seasons where ths weather ia more , extreme. Once more the earth has yielded its seasonal fruits in abundance; and again prepares to bare itself: to the fertil- izing rains. It is Indian summer again; and time for pumpkin . pie and cider. - ' , Take an. afternoon or Tning tional Urcetock exposition in Portland. It's a great show, one of tie gTestest in the coantry.

KENT Coprrlrhl 1935. by The Baltimore Sua The Letter to the Clergy - - Washington, Oct. T. FREQUENTLY a minor Incident sheds a more revealing light upon the quality pt a public man than - can be had from the larger happenings. So It is that while Mr. Roosevelt :h as rbeen swinging - across the country on . his political . tour, dilating, upon the nobility or the new deal and, modestly ; picturing him : self as a great 4 Tfaak.JKaa.:; human itarl a n, more deeplr concerned with the weal ' of the common man than any of his predecessors, the lit tle matter of his letter to the clergymen still sticks in the minds of many. IT is not an Important Issue, and it has its amusing side. None the less, there is a. force in the con tention that here was shown the real Roosevelt' and that it is not altogether funny In that it dem onstrates what, cannot be more mildly described than as a lack of eandcr. In plain words. It smacks of a deceit not In keeping with the dignity of the presidency and hardly calculated to increase re spect for the incumbent. There is no way, of. course, to gauge the effect of such a -thingr but. It is easily possible it may be greater than appears on the surface. AT any rate, it seems the sort of tricky politics which clashes with the traditions of the White House, and a clear repetition of the facts may make it more difficult for politicians in high office to in dulge in thia particular form of humbug in the future as well as render it less easy for gullible people to swallow when they do. Ten days ago Mr. Roosevelt wrote to a large number of cler gymen what purported to be an intimate personal letter in which he appealed to them as friends, regardless of parties, to aid him by advice and counsel concerning the great problems of the period. It sounded sincere. Its appeal was to patriotism, and it was couched In man-to-man terms. He could not, the president said, do it all no man could. He needed their help in material as well as spir itual things. Would they give it WELL, to the seasoned and cyn- ical. this plainly seemed politics. It seemed designed to flatter the clergymen through the intimate personal letter method; It wag es sentially the same process as the first name calling-of the newspa per men and the repetition of the You and I. my mends," phrase over the radio. But one hesitated to say 60 at the time. For one thing, It is not pleasant to charge a president with playing politics with piety; for another, perhaps, Mr. Roosevelt really was sincere in this business; perhaps the let ter came from his heart and was a spontaneous, if somewhat cur- ions, effort to get advice, perhaps he really -wanted from the pastors what he said he wanted. ALL such notions vanished, how ever, when two days later, it de veloped that Mr. Roosevelt had not written the letter himself at all. He had not-even tne iaea of writing the letter. On the eon- trarv it was a nracticallv verba tim copy of a letter sent out to Wisconsin clergymen mootn ago by Gov. Philip La Follette, areat friend of Mr. Roosevelt. The L Follette letter iras regarded in Wisconsin as . a smart political stroke. It had. It was said, a ortd reaction.. "Who .rave Mr. Roosevelt the letter and persuad ed him It would be good to sena out from the white house 4s not revealed. Probably it win not oe WHAT has been revealed is that the presidential personal letter was not a personal letter at aU. It was not even a form letter it was a codv of a form letter sent out by a. Wisconsin politician. It was not wnai it preienaea to ac. Tt wait aa nhnnoT aa a china ear. It would be interesting' to know the present f eelina of the clergy men who responded to the Roose wit letter with eordialltv and an- hprovaL who wrote him back tinder the impression it was real, giving Ttfm th fcat ther had. It would 4e interestine. too. to know -how smart the White House political strategists responsible tor -thia performance think it is now. jrrom the Roosevelt aide no word at ex- nlanatfnn ' or - eirnse has '.

HENDEICK3- When The Statesman -. waa printed on the HI sweat power press: Fred Lockley filled his column in the Portland Journal of Thurs day, October 3, about persons and events .of old time Salem, . He said; S- ' . : ' f Dr. Mark S. Skiff has been a resident of Salem . 70 years. His father. Dr. Lansing S. Skiff, went to California in 1841 later moved to . Olympia, Wash., and in . the summer of 1858 -opened his dental office at Salem.' -" "When I was 8 years old,' said Dr. Skiff, a was sent to the LltUe Central school, at Salem. By re cess time I had had all the school I wanted so I played, hookey. I went down to the bank of the Willamette, at . the foot of State street, and played rith two half breed boys. Later. I came uptown and saw my father standing near the foot of the stairway in the Ladd Bush "bank building. He was. talking to Joe Baker and Jim Fisher. Jim at that time was city marshal.: I figured that father wouldn't .want to turn me down In front -of these two men, so I said, 'I want a quarter. Fath er looked at me-and said, 'Why aren't von in school?' and then, turning to Fisher, he said, 'Boys who run away from school should be put In the calaboose. Jim. take my boy and put him in the cala boose; maybe it will cure him of playing hookey. " 'Before I could get my legs in action Fisher caught me by the arm, took me to the calaboose, put me back of the bars, and locked the cell door. I had plenty of time to decide that the' schoolhouse was a better place than a jail, for our hired girl didn't come to get me till supper time. " 'Miss Maria Smith was my teacher, She lived at the home of the Rev. Plutarch S. Knight. La ter, she went to Portland and was one of the proprietors of the Marsh Printing company. " 'I decided then and there not to play hookey any more, but that resolution was like pie-crust very short. Not long after that, a circus came to Salem and began unloading its paraphernalia and putting up its tent back of where the R. M. Wade hardware store now stands. The gilded cages and the animals proved my undoing. I really didn't mean to miss school. but when I finally asked what time it was I found I was an hour late for school, so I decided I might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, so I stayed. When I went home I must hare had a guilty look, for father asked me If I had been at school, and I told him 'I had accidentally missed go ing. Instead of being allowed to go to the circus that night I was sent to bed without my supper. I thought this world was a cold, hard and bitter old place. I finally became reconciled to school and from the Little Central went to the East Salem school, from which I graduated. I then attended Willamette university two years. I worked during summer vaca tions and in the afternoons and on Saturdays while attending school. " 'The first real Job I had was that of carrier on The Salem Statesman. I also carried a route for the Oregonian at Salem. 1 han dled the entire city and delivered about 25 or 30 papers. Among my customers were Henry H. Gil- fry, Colonel Napoleon Bonaparte Knight, Tony Noltner, Seth R. Hammer, William P. Lord. George K. Shiel and other well known men of that period. Later I landed a job as cub reporter on The Statesman. J. W. Red In gt on and Peter H. D'Arcy were also work ing for The Statesman at that time. General W. H. Odell was my boss. Later, he sold The Statesman to W. H. Byars. My lm mediate boss when I was carrying The Statesman was Claude Gateh, who had charge of circulation His father. Professor T.

I started hut at 4 o'clock in the morning, - carrying! ; my t route on horseback.. Frequently, however, on Sundays, my folks used the horse to go somewhere in the bug gy, so I would have to cover -my route on -foot. When I became a regular - employe Of The States man, in addition to serving as cub reporter I had to teed the press. HI Gorman, a huge negro, who was as strong as a bull., was the motive power of the press.; He would get a sprinkler can full of beer, and before the edition: was run off he would have that sprink ler, that - had held a gallon or more empty; He also turned the press while I fed it, in the print ing of the Sunday1 Mereury land the Willamette Farmer. - 'For several years-1 worked evenings as a janitor In McCau- ley's barber shop.

After I quit Willamette I worked for W. W. Martin, the Jeweler, three years. On January 1, 1887, I went to work with my father to learn dentistry." 1 t S Salem old timers need no ex planations concerning the inter view of Lockley with Dr. Skiff. New residents should know: The Wade store is now the Farmer hardware store. The interest Odell sold to Byars in The Statesman was a half : in terest. r Finley Perrine, once circulation man of The Statesman, became an employe of the state, at the cap itol, in various capacities, and was there for a generation. He was the chief state house wit. Newton McCauley, old time Ibar. ber, grew wealthy. But barber shops in those days had bath rooms in connection, and there were few bath tubs In homes. Shine shops, too, were all then in barber shops. The East Salem school was the present Washington school. Sa lem high school was started there. Henry H. Gllfry was Governor Grover's private secretary; was the same when Grover went to the U. S. senate; became reading clerk of the U; S. senate, and was on the clerical force there until he died, some years ago. Mrs. Gllfry still lives in Washington: N. B. Knight was a prominent old time attorney; "Tony" Nolt ner was owner and editor of var ious democratic newspapers; Seth R. Hammer was an old time law yer; unique character. W. P. Lord became chief justice, govern or, etc., Geo. K. Shiel was In con gress. The Statesman press for which Hi Gorman, colored, furnished the mctive power was a much im proved machine. It had been only a few years since it represented the highest type machine of its kind on this coast. A steam engine for the same machine took away Hi Gorman's job In the fall of 1884, and, long since, electric motors put steam engines out of commission for sueh work.
