British and French Fail
to Agree Upon Plan
to Check War
(By The Associated Press)
. Another diplomatic failure to
find a basis for solution ot the
month-old African war which nei
ther Italy nor Ethiopia has offi
cially declared was -" disclosed
Tuesday. " ;
Thus a long and tortuous road
to a peaceful settlement, of Ben
ito Mussolini's "colonial expedi
tion" was envisaged in London,
la Paris, in Rome and in Geneva.
Official sources In London dls-
- closed that an effort ot British
experts to agree with French ex
perts upon a. plan for peace had
collapsed. ',
While fascist newspapers shout
ed of a 25-mile advance by the
northern army and a victory by
the southern forces oyer the de
fending Ethiopians, another side
of the grimness ofwar was shown
in Rome. '
. Mussolini, opening a drive to
re3ist the effectiveness of sanc
tions, ordered the nation on a six
months - meat diet. . Other econ
omies are planned. War, and the
League's determination .to end it
through sanctions, are striking' at
the stomach as well as the pocket
hook of 44.000,000 Italians.
On the war front, a Rome com
munique said .'Italian scouting
parties from Adigraf, In the north,
had advanced ; 2l5-miles,erhalf-way

Dunham Wright, 93, Says More .Land is Needed but
Opposes Moving Willamette; Memory Clear
' on Events of 63 Years Ago
DUNHAM. WRIGHT, 93, an orator of the old school, the
sole surviving member of the legislature of 1872, came
from his home in Baker county and Tuesday afternoon
addressed a joint session of the legislature. He was intro
duced by Governor Charles H. Martin, and then spoke for
45 minutes, giving his views
relating Interesting reminiscence!
of the past.
His voice, still powerful, rer
sounded through the old armory
and everyone could hear his ad
dress. His knowledge ot state his
tory is wide and amazingly ac
curate. - He could relate names
and dates and initials ot men
long dead without hesitation; and
his speech showed he had kept
closely in touch with current
events in the state especially re
garding the capitol.
After his introductory remarks
he sat down and spoke from his
chair, but he had no difficulty
holding the attention of the floor
and galleries.
In introducing Mr. Wright,
Governor Martin praised the men
of his time, the legislature of
1872, which undertook the task
of building the old capitol. The
state's population was only 90,-
600 and the assessed valuation
only 233.000,000 but they had
courage to start a capitol which
cost $600,000.
Governor Martin asserted the
state is on the verge of greater
growth, and urged the people to
rise to their destinty and build a
capitol to meet the needs ol the
future.
"We. must not surrender to the
defeatists or we will never go
forward, said the governor. We
want to make this state the

Oregonian'a View
PORTLAND. Oct. 29.-UFV-The
Oregonian in an editorial Wednes
day morning will say that "Ore
gon does not maintain its capital
at Salem out of a desire to be
kind to Salem" and that "one sus
pects it is with tongue In cheek
that Multnomah's Senator Lessard
proposes an amendment to the
constitution to permit location of
state institutions otherwheres
than in -Marion county."
The Oregonian's editorial win
conclude:
"Nor Is there any particular
duty on the part ot Salem to do
nate a capitol site or to contribute
heavily to the purchase of capitol
lands. Salem is the capital because
it suited the state to designate it
so, and, as heretofore stated not
as a favor to Salem. To be sure it
would, be nice- it Salem should
feel able and be inclined to make
the rest of us a generous gift, and
nobody would object. But let us
not try to coerce Salem. It cannot
be done anyway, probably.'

that an insurance sinking fund,
