r Reform in Government
fTlHE new deal which has endeavored to set the industrial
X and agricultural world to rights makes no attempt at
l self-reform in the field of government.! Reform is not
like charity, which begins at home. Virtually the only gov
ernmental changes made by the administration have been ab
dication by congress of powers of legislation; and the su
preme court is wisely putting a halt to that.
Politicians have been quick to Scold the bankers and dis
cipline them. They have pointed fingers of shame at indus
trialists for being too greedy. But the congress has never
stopped graft in running its own show. Legislators load up
the public payrolls with incompetents or relatives. The United
States senate holds inquisitions which bore into the private
business of individuals and corporations, but it keeps its own
expense list an undisclosed secret.
The administrative branch of government has been no
more efficient, though its expenditures are all audited and
the graft is all legalized. Speaking of the experience of the
country with administrative employes of the government,
William B. Munro, writing in the Atlantic monthly, points
out that it has chilled the public inclination to increase the
powers of the government :
"Promise and performance are bound to be miles apart In
the administration ot an industrialized feudalism, and this is
particularly trne in the United States, where we have built iip
- no corps of bureaucrats trained for the Job. In the hysterical at
tempt to improvise such a body we bare besprinkled the land
with a horde of low-voltage busy-bodies, most of them progeny
of the spoils system, whose ineptitude had very largely destroyed
the reputation for superior administrative efficiency which the
national government formerly possessed in the public imagina
tion "In the early stages of the new-deal programme, when the
Sir Galahads surrounding the throne were denouncing the abuses
which bad everywhere grown up under state regulation, or the
lack of it, they found millions of willing listeners. Portraying
intolerable short-comings in the banking system, the organiza
tion of industry, the public, utilities, the stock exchanges, and
the existing provisions for social security, they said nothing
about the even more Intolerable weaknesses in the mechanism
of government wherewith a reform of all these things was to be
undertaken. Yet it is government, first among all activities eith- -er
private er public, that stands most urgently in need of a
thorough-going reform. A governmental system which compla
cently tolerates a long chain of abuses, including pork-barrel
appropriations, patronage appointments, filibusters, gag rules,
riders and printing of, undelivered speeches, rubber-stamp leg
. islation, and innumerable other abominations of the lawmak
ing process," is hardly the one to expect from the forty-eight
states a vast endowment of additional authority."
How many senators and congressmen would be able to
bear up under the light of publicity if their letter files and
their private conversations were printed for public perusal?
We do not mean to condone the offenses which politi
cians have uncovered in any field; but to point out that the
human material in business and in politics fsmuch the same.
For corrupt industrialists there are generally corrupt poli
ticians. The elements of human weakness are not confined to
any one group in our social system. If there is an organiza
tion which needs purging and deflation and reorganization
it is the ponderous machine which we call the federal govern
ment; but no president has ever been able to accomplish the
task. The entrenched bureaucrats are too powerful. Some day
it will crash in a heap just as the inflated business structure
did in 1929.
Press and Capitol
MOST of the newspapers of the state which have expressed
themselves on the legislature's decision on the capitol
1 :.. seem disappointed. The Oregonian approves the program
as conforming to its "no splurge" advice and the Klamath
Falls Herald which says the final plan "represents just about
the most economical scheme possible for an adequate build
ing," thinks the program will conform to the advice to "build
conservatively but adequately".
The Astorian Budget however calls the decision a "cap
itol offense," feeling certain "that there would have been no
protest from the taxpayers as a whole if the entire $3,500,000
originally suggested had been used, or if a reasonable amount
of additional land had been acquired." The Pendleton East
Oregonian thinks the financing policy by which $450,000
federal money was lost "inane"; and complains that the "site
. vrl J V rtATiT Aonifnl Za 4-ra Vva aas4-as4 et? Tiii4- a rrrwvr? o a 4VlA
site Pendleton is using for its new community building and
junior high -school." Another eastern Oregon paper, the Ba
ker Democrat-Herald regards the legislature's action as "un
fortunate" and one which "apparently does not represent the
best judgment of the legislature" in view of its earlier votes
for a $3,500,000 project. The Baker paper concludes "The de
cision. . . probably will meet the approval of a majority of the
people at this time, but it will be regretted in future years."
The Dalles Chronicle however believes "the debate ended in a
sensible solution." The La Grande Observer ratifies the ver
dict of the legislature and will be "thoroughly satisfied" if a
skyscraper capitol is built.
The Oregon City Enterprise which took the ground that
additional ground was needed because the present site is one
of the smallest in the nation, does not feel "that all is lost",
but that the money voted will provide "a dignified, adequate
capiotol, and additional land may be acquired later as the
need becomes more apparent."
"It's too bad," says the Medford Mail Tribune, which re
gards as "a shame and a pity" the failure of the legislature
to seize the opportunity made by the fire in planning prop
erly for the future. "The special session had the opportunity
and it muffed it," says the Medford paper, which sees faint
chance for rectification in the next session.

r j: WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.
IN I NEARLY every Presidential
campaign there Is an organized
minority of voters .which exercises
an ex tremely
potent Influ
ence over the
two parties.
Sometimes it Is
s t rong enough
to dominate the
n a 1 1 onal con
ventions, some
times to swing
the e 1 e ction.
More than once
the Prohibi
tionists did ex
actly that.
Frank B. Kent IN THE 1936
campaign, already under way, a
minority which has not figured
in tt national way before is now
in Ithe field. In cohesive force,
effective direction and strength of
purpose not many of 1'ji prede
cessors have surpassed it. Com
posed of the followers of the good
Dr.i Townsend, the $200 monthly
old-age pension planner, the char
acter and power of this minority
is but slightly appreciated by the
politicians of this section. But
west of the Mississippi river it is
appreciated. The- practical politi
cals of the West particularly
of the Far West keep it well in
thei front of their minds. The
Townsend following Is a factor in
every political calculation they
make with many the dominant
factor.
COMPETENT observers say that
there are at least eight and prob
ably ten States where the Town
sendites are in practical control.
This does not mean that a ma
jority in these States advocate the
Plan. What It does mean is that a
sufficient number of voters ad
here to the compact, well- led and
amply financed Townsend organ!
zation, to hold the balance of
power in every party primary. In
other words, no candidate openly
against the Plan can be nominated
over a candidate who either open
ly for covertly favors It. This is
particularly true as to candidates
fort nomination to the House
of t Representatives and to the
Senate.
THE Townsendites are making a
well directed drive to put their
Plan over, not in the coming ses
sion of Congress, but in the ses
slofi that follows the Presidential
election. To this end, they are
wofklng for the nomination next
year of men pledged to their
cause. They stand between the
two parties with & large body of
votiers who can be swung one
way as easily as the other. They
sayjjto aspirants for Congressional
nominations that they will oppose
those not sympathetic. Clearly
having the power to kill candi
dates who do not "come across,"' j
the are getting a lot of pledges. ;
some openly, others "under cov-'
er.'! In many districts all the Con
gressional aspirants are avowedly
for Ethe Plan some of them act
ually members of the Townsend
clubs. A minimum claim of eight
million enrolled voters is made by
the Townsend leaders and through
the-: Townsend newspaper organs
and publicity department. Fear of
thel Townsend opposition smears
the whole Western political pic
ture. TO; those- whose recollection goes
back even a few years it will
not' be necessary to point out that
theJ Townsend leaders are playing
the? precise game in the precise
way, so long, ably and success
fully played by the Anti-Saloon
league. Nor will it then surprise
them to be told a very interesting
and illuminating fact, to wit this
the Townsend organization
and following is so strongly satu
rated with Anti-Saloon League
methods and personnel that it is
impossible to mistake It. It is not
only that an exceedingly large
portion of the Townsend following
areldrys. but a considerable num
ber; of the Townsend leaders were
formerly Anti-Saloon League lead
ers.
THIS is a fact not generally
known and has had practically no
publicity. It is none the less 'true
and it accounts for several things.
It explains the compactness and
effectiveness of the Townsend
machine; it explains the determ
ination and 8ingle-mindedneas of
the! Townsend following; and it
explains the present strategy of
going into the primaries to get
their men rather than wait- for
the! general election. It is the old
Anti-Saloon League game played
by the same people and it is a
mistake to regard the uovement
as a political joke. It is far from
that. In both conventions, in the
campaign and in the next Con
gress the Townsend following
wilt be a factor not easily to be
pushed aside.

that is highly historical:
(Concluding from yesterday: )
Soon there was congenial com
pany at the mission for Elijah.
t And so was started and organ
ized, at old Chemawa, place of
the gravel, the first Indian school
west of the Rockies and north of
the Spanish line.
I The first Protestant Sunday
school in the same territory was
organized there still in exis
tence, as the Sunday school of the
First Methodist church of Salem.
j The beginnings of that chnrch
were made at the mission when it
was still at old Chemawa.
i s
1 Many, many important things
Were; started there, among them
the civil commonwealth of Oregon,
beginning with the provisional
government', authorized and set in
motion there Feb. 18, 1841.
And the Willamette university,
founded there Feb. 1, 1842.
The ' provisional government
constitution was written there, in
the mission granary and hospit
al. j Missionary socities to the In
dians were organized there, and
temperance societies.
j Indian slavery In the Oregon
country was abolished there.
1 The first medical missionary
sent to any land began his prac
tice : there.
The first white woman and
child buried In Oregon country
soil had interment there later
removed to Lee Mission cemetery,
Salem.

f WE ARE still faced with the prob
lem of Infantile paralysis. Fortu
nately. tb recent outbreak of this
dreaded disease was in mild form.
Today, too. there is less serious paraly
sis following Its attacks than used
to be tha case. W ara heartened
further by the promising results ob
tained by serum treatment.
; Infantile paralysis, or "poliomyeli
tis", as the doctors call it, was recog
nized for several centuries. But H
was not until 1840 that it was accu
rately described. In that year, a
German physician named Jacob von
Heine gava his report to the medical
world.
Llttla was known as -to Its causa.
As a matter of fact, it Is only recent
ly that the scientists determined that
poliomyelitis is caused by a "filter
able virus". That term Is applied to
a germ so tiny that it cannot be seen
Under tha most powerful microscope,
fet It will pass through a niter, as
water will.
No Methods of Control
i It Is tha young children who most
commonly have infantile paralysis,
but It also attacics adults. In its mikl
form the disease subsides without
serious complications or deformity.
But because a severe attack may lead
to permanent disability there is al
ways great fear concerning it Com
munity anxiety is aroused at the
first sign of its presence.
(Mothers always ask how to pre
vent their children from getting in
fantile paralysis. It Is difficult to
advise them, because the methods of
cbntrol have not been accurately de
termined. Perhaps the most encour
aging thins Is to point to the ve: y
email number of cases in proportion
to the population.
(During an epidemic, er In a com
munity where the disease Is quite
prevalent, certain precautions should
be ta&en, of course. A young child
should be kept out of places where
large number of persons congregate.
The child should play outdoors In
the fresh air and sunshine, avoiding
cjose contact with other children.
1 Recognition Difficult
i If the epidemic reaches alarming
proportions, it may be wise to keep
the child home from school, put tha
parent mu3t trust the health officials
to determine this. In any commu
nity the school authorities will close
the schools if health conditions war
rant such extreme action.
j Early recognition of infantile
paralysis Is sometimes difficult. Tha
onset of the disease may bo sudden,
showinc symptoms like a cold, with
mild fever and intestinal upset.
These signs are like tbosa which
indicate other Infections. Dut medi
cal advice should be had. because it
is of great Importance to make an
early diagnosis of poliomyelitis: this
should ba- ine before paralysis de

at Chemawa has become the old

The Oregon school was started
at Forest Grove. But It bad only
a small plot of ground there, and
when Dr-H. J. Minthorn became
superintendent, in the early
nineties, he sought for a better
location,, with more ground, a
necessity if the institution were
to be a success.
a V
Judge R. P. Boise owned the
land on which the 70-odd build
ings of the school now stand. The
U. S. government will not .build
on land excepting after state au
thority has been withdrawn from
it. ' .
A bill was introduced j in the
Oregon legislature to arrange
this, and Hon. Ed. Hlrsh, who
had been state treasurer, and
was then in the state senate from
Marion county, had to be wise
and cunning to the nth degree to
get the bill by the opposition of
Senator Hare, able member ot the
upper house, from Washington
county..
The writer could (but will
not) tell how Senator Hare was
caught napping, and the bill be-l
came a law. He win say, however,
that the connivance of : Alfred
Holman. then reporter of the
Portland Oregonian. was of as

too late for Senator Hare to do
anything about it.

Dr. MInthorn's nephew, Herbert
Hoover, then about 11 and an or
phan, came to Chemawa with the
family, of which he had been a
member and so remained until he
entered Stanford university with
the first class of that institution
in the uncompleted buildings
along with Senator Charley Mc-
Nary of Oregon, the east lines of
whose home farm, by the way,
are only a few hundred yards
from the west lines of the Indian
school land.
He is a neighbor; a good and

The first buildings at the pres

from eyeshot testimony that the
graduating exercises were under

cles, the primeval forest . trees.
Herbert Hoover was there, and
made a hand in the beginnings
of the Chemawa school.
Unless some of its staunchest
and wisest friends are mistaken,
the school at Chemawa is destined
for a renewed lease of long life,
as the only institution of its kind

RELIEF AND PRODUCTION
To the Editor;
I notice Marion county uses
160,000 for relief and that does
not cover a year's time. Would
take $75,000 or more for a whole
year. That amount if Judicious
ly Bpent will be of big benefit
to the needy. What are the
county agent and his helpers do
ing? The price of pork and flour
is so high now that those on
relief are prohibited from hav
ing all they need of them. The
taxpayers are paying the county
agent and his helpers for boost
ing the price of 'necessities of life
so the court can ask for more
money to make the needy par
ties comfortable. The county
agent's offkva was wished onto
the taxpayers. What per cent of
the taxpayers are benefitted by
the office? A very small per
cent.
If it is right to cut down pro
duction of certain eatables with
so many needing them why not
do so without being hired to do
it. If the county agent's office
was left to a vote .of the tax
payers I think the ; office would
be snowed under two to one.
Those that are in ator of retain
ing it are the few that are draw
ing benefits. I could have drawn
them but did not think it riht
to do so If a man can't raise
hogs, cow or .wheat and make a
profit he ought to know enough
to quit trying to.

Helen was demonstrating some

the stage the night before . . . and
Walter Riley appeared. Her danc

about ber dancing of the morning,
he found himself disarmed by her
smile. When she asked him if he
'liked to dance, he appeared uncer

never danced. Helen was surprised
at this, and he suddenly asked ber
if she would teach him to dance.
"I'd love to." she said honestly, and
' so they decided to go to one of the

Walter found himself - enjoying

Then he drove Helen to her home
in Bay Ridge, leaving her there
but not before she agreed to ac
