Salem Postoffice I
THE Statesman has received the f ollowing letter from
Hugh V. Harris, route 4, Salem: I
"What a shame it seems to take the taxpayers money to tear
down a beautiful building like the Salem postoffice and build aa
entire new one when all that is necessary is an addition. And what
a pity that those in power can't figure oat something like tearing
down the courthouse. If they must tear something down, and ex-.-
changing that block for the postoffice block and present building.
"Then the government could build a new postoffice closer In
to town, and the county would hare a fine substantial building
to use as a courthouse after adding as much extra to it aa was
deemed necessary." ! ' r
The view expressed in the first paragraph in one
which doubtless is felt by many citizens served by the Salem
postoffice. The fact of the matter is, that the treasury de
partment, which has charge of public buildings, made a very
careful survey of the present postoffice and a study of pro
bable needs for the next quarter century. The inspectors came
to the conclusion, based on a study of the costs of remodeling,
that it would cost the government less money to tear this
structure down and build a new than it would to remodel
and enlarge the old building. This is a fact rather familiar to
those who have attempted to remodel old houses: the cost
runs into more money than anticipated, and in the end it is
still an "old house." I
In the ca?e of the postoffice, it appears to be a massive
building, built of hewn stone which would last for ages. So it
would so far as the Avails are concerned. But the interior is of
frame construction, whiclfwould burn like a torch if ignited.
The first thing the government architects thought would be
necessary in remodeling was to tear out the interior and make
it fireproof; otherwise it seemed foolish to put more money
in the structure by building an addition. This fireproofing
the present structure was what ran the cost away up.
As to trading lots with the county, that was considered
by the government ; but the county has made no moves toward
a new courthouse ; and the government officials felt the delay
would be too great if they waited on the county for action.
Then the county might not want to step back a block.
All of this is offered in explanation "of the points raised
by Mr. Harris. f
One more point is worthy of notice. The plans for the
new postoffice call for moving the building farther front to
ward Church street than the present building. A driveway to
service the rear of the building will run through the block
from State to Court streets. There will be no entryway from
Cottage street. Instead the area between the postoffice drive
way. and Cottage street, nearly half the block, will be leveled
and parked, serving almost as a western extension of Will
son park. This will help to compensate the loss of the east end
of the park through moving the
Power Distribution
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
tion of policy respecting distribution of power from gov
ernment clams. He said Saturday :
"The puMie interest demands that the power that is being or
soon will be g t ut rated by the Tennessee Valley Authority and at
the Bonneville Jam and other public works projects should be
. made to serve the greatest number of our people at the lovest cost
and, as far as possible, without injury to existing actual invest
ment-. . j ;
With this policy there should.be little quarrel. Not only
fairness to existing investment but practical economics dic
tate the use of existing facilities for distributing the newly
generated power from Bonneville and other plants, rather
than the duplication of such facilities at public expense.
The government agencies can control the resale price
through the federal powercommission and through state reg
ulatory commissions. In this territory the prospect of savings
through the Bonneville power to the individual consumer is
not very great no matter what system of distribution is used
because electric power rates already are very low, on a com
parative basis. j '
Every effort should be made to set up the governing au
thority for Bonneville so it will have power to negotiate; and
then efforts should be made to deal with utilities already es
tablished, private or public, to make them the carriers for
Bonneville power, with savings in generating costs to be pass
ed on to consumers. I
L lt does seem practical however to offer power in large
blocks at low costs to industries in the Bonneville area in order
txattract them. That was the program of the late George W.
Joseph who stirred up the power issue in Oregon. His argu
ment was that new industries would provide employment and
markets for the whole area. j
The dam will be completed before many months. Con
Igjess should legislate on the subject early in the coming ses
sion. ' i
r Stings of Ingratitude
IT is amusing to note the hymn of hate now being .sung by
the democratic press against the du Ponts and against Wil
liam Randolph Hearst. The Portland Journal and the East
Oregonian of Pendleton have wept copious draughts of tears
over the contributions, $5,000 apiece, of several of the du
Ponts to the republican campaign in Maine. Yet four years
ago they had no complaint whatever when the duPonts wrere
pouring money heavily into the democratic campaign fund. In
fact it was the money put up by them and by their chief as
sistant Raskob which kept the democratic party afloat in the
critical days from 1928 on. j
Nor did these newspapers lament four years ago when
William Randolph Hearst was blasting at Hoover through his
newspapers and urging the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Hearst's switch of the California delegation at Chicago from
Garner to Roosevelt, made on the solicitation of Governor
Curley of Massachusetts, one of the leading pre-Chicago
Roosevelt boosters, was what put Roosevelt across for the
nomination. Now Hearst is anathema to the new deal ; he is
even "a certain notorious newspaper owner" (instead of
Bertie McCormick of the Chicago Tribune.)
Politics does make strange bedfellows. In the present
case the trouble seems merely to be that duPonts and Hearst
fell out of bed with Roosevelt. The brothers once beloved now
feel the stings of ingratitude. j
. I
Mister Bridges of San Francisco has gone to Washington to
threaten a general maritime strike unless enforcement of the Cope
land safety-at-a law is suspended. The law it seems, was not firBt
written or tkayed by Mister Bridges. He even threatens to "test the
measure in the courts." If it is held "unconstitutional," as he desires,
will the judges come in for some more abuse for thwarting the wUl
of congress? But just where does the congress come in If it must take
its orders from Mister Bridges? j
- ' . . ' ;r ' ' j.
The Capital Journal wants to know what ones of the new deal
laws the republicans would repeal. It isn't necessary to answer the
Question. To date a large share of the new deal laws have been killed
by the supreme court as fast as the legislation came before it. The
pertinent question of the campaign Is: What are the democrats going
to do about that? ' : . . j
' " ' s 1 '!'.'
Mayor Carton of Portland paid his respects to crackpots and
flapmouthed politicians "who don't know a kilowatt from a mixed
drink". Also .he denounced going deeper into bonded debt. His speech
was almost an echo of that of his fellow-democrat, GoTernor Martin.
It sort of makes one rub his eyes and ask. What Is the new-deal party
in Oregon, anyway? J
One banker told the others at San Francisco to be "asore Uberal".
That Is always good advice, for the other banker.

Important In the history of the
nation and of the world were the
issues of that battle, and of es
pecial Interest was that struggle
to the people of Oregon and more
particularly of Salem, for the two
principal figures in the conduct
of it were once familiar ones on
the streets of this capital city
Generals . Sheridan and Russell,
the first named then a second
lieutenant and the other his cap
tain. V
Russell was ten years the elder.
the two born in near places, Sheri
dan at Albany, Russell at Salem,
New York; the Empire state's
Salem being only 17 miles
further from its capital than the
Bearer state's Albany 43 and
26 miles respectively.
S.e e o n d Lieutenant Sheridan
had arrived at and taken charge
of "Hazen's Camp. to be later
known as Fort Yamhill, on April
25, 1856, immediately assuming
the dulles of engineer of con
struction, commandant, quarter
master, fosterfather of thousands
of recently arrived and arriving
restless Indians, fresh, most of
them, from war trails.
When Sheridan thus assumed
charge of the guardianship of the
Coast reservation of Oregon, he
was aged 25 years, one month, 19
days.
V S
Captain Russell arrived to have
general direction on July 1 follow
ing. From that day until the death
of Russell fighting under a pivotal
order of Sheridan, the two men
enjoyed relationships like those
of father and son, or of David and
Jonathan, or Damon and Pythias.
S V
They attended the historic ball
at Salem, Nov. 17, 1857, dedicat
ing in its huge basement room
the first woolen mill west of the
Missouri river; present all promi
nent officials and the Northwest's
best society;
A. H. Reynolds, afterward
founder ol Walla Walla's first
bank, loaned Russell and Sheridan
money needed for acquiring land
equities. Mutual interest, perfect
cooperation, marked the lives of
these men from their first meet
ins. .'. j
Long years after, when he him
self had acquired vast experience
in that field, Sheridan was to say
of Russell:'. "He was the ablest
manager of Indian affairs I ever
saw." : ! 1 t
v ' -1 .
Firing on Fort Sumter brought
tense feelings at Fort Yamhill.'
Russell and his company marched
away, leaving Sheridan in com-
nrand.; Captain Archer was ordered
to relieve Sheridan. Learning
Archer intended ; going South,
Sheridan refused the transfer.
Archer resigned, left July 17.
Sheridan remained until Sept. 1,'
when Capt. Owen arrived.
In the waiting period Sheridan
met A. Bush, founder and pub
lisher of The Statesman; told his
editor friend he yearned to go, as
duty called; also he thought, if
the war lasted long, he perhaps
would gain promotion; might be
come even a captain!
Two days' horseback ride took
him to Portland; boarding a
steamer there, another at San
Francisco via Panama, he I was
soon in New York and presently
at Jefferson barracks. Missouri,
where he found resignations and
rapid changes had advanced him
to a captaincy, 10th infantry, of
wnicn w. T. Sherman had lust
been made colonel!
Sheridan for several months
had multifarious duties, mostly
grilling work unraveling tangles
in commissary matters needed,
efficiently done, but not to bis
taste.
From a clear sky, never learned
by him how, he was offered the
colonelcy of the 2nd Michigan
cavalry, by Governor Blair, seek
ing a regular army officer, be
cause of organization bickerings,
jealousies.
Sheridan handed General Hal
leek tLe telegram containing the
offer; said he wished to accept;
wanted active field work. j
Halleck replied that the war
department's approval was re
qaired, because some dignitary
was against assigning regular offi
cers to volunteer regiments. ;
Consulting Captain Russell A.
Alger, (afterward general gover
nor, secretary of war, etc..) and
Lieutenant Wallbridge of ! the
Michigan regiment, Sheridan so
pleaded his cause that Halleck
took a chance let him go without
consulting the war department.
Thus Sheridan was "on his
way." The child of fortune who
never tasted ' defeat was in the
line of manifest (or was it fore
ordained?) destiny. (In aftor
years, Alger, grown wealthy,
made Sheridan a present of
$10,000.) j
Within a few brief weeks after
becoming colonel, Sheridan wore
the silver embroidered star of
brigadier, the right won at Boone
viUe, Miss. Five brigadier gener
als wired headquarters: "He is
worth bis weight in gold, asking
Sheridan's promotion. -

By MARK
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. The
Maine election, and primaries In
three other states, show how
great is the mo
mentum polit
1 e a 1 tide can
gather within a
two year period.
The tide in this
case runs in fa
vor of the repub
licans. The speed and
force possible in
a two year tide

Hut sniirraa beiore. it was

when the sweep was In favor of
the democrats. In 1928 the demo
crats were at an all-time low in
the presidential election, which
was between Mr. Hoover and
Governor Smith, the democrats
won only 87 electoral votes to the
republicans' 444. In the elections
to the house of representatives
that year, the democrats Won
only 165 seats to the republicans'
268.
That was in November, 192S.
Two years later, in 1930,. there
was no presidential election by
which to make comparison. But in
the house of representatives the
democrats won a majority, 219
to the republicans 214. In short,
an immense republican victory in
1928. became, two years later, a
narrow democratic victory. The
question this year is whether the
same thing can happen in the
opposite direction.
In the present two years tide
in favor of the republicans, that
party has farther to go than the
democrats had In the earlier
period. For the republicans, 1934
was an all-time low an all-time
low indeed for either party. The
republicans in 1934 won only 102
seats in the house of representa
tives to the democrats' 322. But
it is apparent that in recent times
a political tide can run with a
swiftness that was not possible
a few years ago. The causes for
the faster tempo include the
loosening of party ties whScli
leads masses of voters to swing
from one side to the other, and
an acceleration wrought perhaps
by the radio.
How swift the present tide is
can be realized by a look! beneath
the surface of the Maine election.
In Maine, in 1934, the democrats
won two of the state's three seats
In the lower house of congress.
This year the republicans won
those two seats back and won
them by large majorities. That
performance leaves no possible
doubt that throughout the coun
try the republicans are certain to
make extraordinary gains in the
lower house.
The tide against the democrats
Is strong. Against the new deal
it is yet strone-er. This latter tide
expresses itself, in some Cases, in
support for candidates who are
democrats but not' new dealers.
This, also, was illustrated in
Maine. In that ' state the demo
cratic candidate for senator, Mr.
Brann, was universally recognized
to be not a new dealer. ' His dis
sent from the pew deal: brought
him much support that a new
deal democratic candidate could
not have got, and he came close
to winning. Had he won, he
would have become, in the sen
ate, a follower , of the anti-new
deal democratic leadership pro
vided by such democrats as Sena
tor Glass of Virginia.
Something like this Is going on
everywhere. Democrats are being
elected to the senate and house
in strong democratic states and
districts hardly possible to be won
by any republican, and many of
the democrats who are winning
are as opposed to the new deal
as any repubUcan. The same
change is taking place among
democratic senators whose seats
hold over for two or four years
and who are not up for reelection
this year. There are democratic
senators who up to now have
''gone along" with, the new deal
and Mr. Roosevelt but who, from
now on, will in the senate follow
leadership like that of Senator
Glass.
Another factor that emerged in
last Tuesday's primaries Is the
strength of Father Coughlln'a
following. In Michigan, a partic
ularly faithful Cougbllnite he is
Father Coughlin's Washington
representative -entered the pri
mary as a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination tor United
States .senator. He came within a
tew thousand votes or winning
over the regular democratic con
tender. The vote was about 125,
000 to about 120,000. This
strength of a Coughlinlte in a
Michigan democratic primary may
be accounted for in part by the
fact that it occurred in Father
Coughlin's home state.
Observers agree, however, that
Father Coughlin's following
everywhere is considerable. They
agree also that it is, like the priest
himself, strongly anti-Roosevelt.
Even that large part of it which
is normally democratic is in this
campaign anti-Roosevelt and anti
new deaL With respect to the
coming presidential election, most
of Father Coughlin's following
will vote for the candidate whom
the priest has endorsed, Mr.
Lemke of the union party. The
current straw votes seem to indi
cate that Mr. Lemke will get be-

COMES TO STATESMAN
j ' : DEFEXSE
( To the Editor: Although I do
not agree with you on all your ed
itorials, I believe in the old adage,
"give the devil his dues," so I am
defending your attitude in regard
to a certain editorial in which Les
ter : Lamb takes issue with you,
and asks, "does it warrant feder
al expenditure in the critical situ
ation, when millions were without
food and clothing?" I will answer,
most emphatically. No! It did not
warrant spending billions in the
way it has been spent, for much
could have been accomplished
with a small fraction of the
amount, turned over and over,
through forced circulation.
This borrowed money must be
paid back, and under the present
orgy of borrowing and spending
without the method of forcing this
money to revolve, will eventually
force the nation into bankruptcy.
And more than that millions of
this money has been spent as Mr.
Lamb truly says, "on power and
irrigation dams," to operate more
manufacturing plants, when we
have more goods produced now
than we can use, and so much
grain and hogs that we have to
plow under and burn the grain,
and kill and bury the hogs. So
why more irrigation dams? "Oh,
consistency thou art a j e w e I."
Where is the logic of this?
Yes the millions needed food and
clothing, and twelve million out of
the 13 millions still need some
thing to keep them from starving
and freezing, for they have not
gotten anything yet, and never
will under t h i s administration.
About 500,000 boys were sent to
the CCC camps, when they: should
have been : at home with their
young families, or attending
school, or learning a trade, and
they have simply gotten an exist
ence out of, this abomnible ar
rangement. I . have visited their
camps, and have had friends in
them, and I know what it is like!
Then about lone half million men
put to work part time on starva
tion wages.j Is this logic? when
there is a way proposed, (which is
much to Mr. Roosevelt's DISCRE
DIT, for he would not give Dr.
Townsend a. five minute interview
to investigate his plan, which to
say the least was very unfair!)
and the proposed way is to put all
to work and keep them at work.

we can take the 33 percent off the
gasoline, the 100 percent 'off of
cigarettes, and the 80 percent off

es to show that nothing Is thought
of In paying these monster taxes.

we stand it,; when the plan will In

The present administration has

that in the Sunday edition of The
Statesman I noticed an article that
it seems by a statement purported
to have come from a former
Townsend speaker, Mr. S. C. Wil

according to the article, "Dr.

do not think it a crime to talk pub
lic ownership as a citizen, not yet
in Oregon. 1
