: ' Suppression or Expression
MARCH of Time is a personalized news-reel prepared by
iTime" magazine, whose managing editor last week told
.- editors of the country that "Time's" perspective in
news-writing was like that of the man in the moon, wholly
impartial and impersonal. In the current news-reel the con
troversy over the Roosevelt supreme court legislation is feat
ured. Pres. Roosevelt is quoted. An opponent of the court
plan, Senator Wheeler of Montana is quoted. . i
j But when the news reel came'to Kansas thei board of
censors there ordered deleted the Wheeler portion of the dia
logue. The chairman of the Kansas board says: "We feel this J
dialogue is partisan and biased. . ; p.
What if it is? Does that make it improper material for
the news-reel? And what about the president's portion of the
dialogue? is that not equally "biased"? The portion objected
to by the Kansas Carrie Nation of 1937 is, (Wheeler speak
ing) : ' H , . i '
"Ton can say that the privilege of appointing postmasters
'-Will nnt hA arinrri(l to m Yon ran av thst I'll ret no more
projects for my state. You can say" what you please, but I say
n mn ami tn Mr I'll to-t n mrTbodr else, thai. I will vote
against this proposition because It Is morally wrong; it is mor
ally unsound; it is a dangerous proceeding." I
If this is an untrue reflection of Wheeler's opinions then
he would have cause of action for libel. There is, however, no
complaint that the quotation is"inaccurate.Why then should
the super-zealous Kansas censor resort to suppression?
A few weeks ago Governor Earle of Pennsylvania or
dered a film entitled "Spain in Flames" to be suppressed be
cause part of it was propaganda lavoring the socialist gov
ernment in Spain. Suppose it is propaganda ; is that illegal in

able to some.people, but that does not justify suppressing it.
The traditional view in America has been that there should
be freedom for the expression of ideas. The only legitimate
grounds for censorship have beerTfor the protection of mor
als, particularly of the young; and even there the excess zeal
has resulted at times in exhibition of prudery. In the field of
political ideas censorship is positively dangerous. Remove all
"propaganda" and what would there be left of printed ma
terial on public questions?, p
! Censorship is usually a depraved attempt to control the
opinions of other people. Individuals who think their ideas
are correct want to force other people to think the same way,
in religion," in politics, in morals. They resort to suppression
when the true American policy should be one of freedom of
expression, with all viewpoints represented so the public
may make its decision. There is no worse, canker than
thought which is forced to be secret and underground : it eats
both ways, warping the judgment of the thinker and even
tually poisoning the thinking of
"It can't happen here?" Oh

New Naii
ONE neat thing the apostles of new cultures do is to re
write their histories and their cyclopedias and dictionar-
ies in terms of their new philosophies. Russia has en
deavored to reconstruct -not only its history but its art. Now
in Germany they are going through the principal j reference
book, "Meyer's 'Knoversations-Lexikon" and bringing out a
new edition re-edited in terms of nazi theories. The job is
being done, not by German Scholars, but by a batallion of
storm troopers. Ralph Barnes writing to the New York Her-ald-ribune
describe'the first volume . which has just ap
peared, thus: ". i
p , "Although the cover retains the conservative character com
j mon to past editions, the contents of the volume are distinguish
j d by what appears to be intentional falsifications of certain his
j torlcal facts, by hypernationalistic or biased treatment of many
topics and. finally, by the extensive space devoted to the Nazi
j ideology and institutions." 1
I He cites one example, the assassination of Chancellor
Dollfuss of Austria. The job was done by nazis on July 25,
934. The new nazi lexikon says it was done by a Marxist
named Durtil on Oct. 3, 1933. '. . 1
f - The book refers to the Old
ble, "which contains traces of fairy tales and myths of the
orient which were merely rewritten by the Jews; for exam
Die, the myth of the Creation, which was taken from Baby
lon." This is naturally offensive to those who regard the Old
Testament as a divine revelation, but carries out1 the nazi
practice of everything of Jewish origin.- j
Genuine scholars are always at work re-writing history
as new facts are dug up; but a batallion of storm troopers
would hardly be Tegarded as competent and impartial in the
field of scholarship in any country except a dictatorship.
. Last Water Job
THE city authorities make a wise choice in approving cast
iron pipe for the new Twelfth street water main which
i. will cross the city from Rural avenue to the northern
boundary. Cast iron is the longest-lived material of any
which are practical for use in water mains of that dimen
ion. In eastern cities it is still in service after a century and
longer; and much of the Salem system is in cast iron pipe.
The city was fortunate in being able to obtain this pipe well
within the cost estimates of the engineers. j
This water main job is about the last big project in the
rehabilitation of the water system. When the entire work is
completed next fall the city will have a gravity system of
supply, fed by water from streams rising in the mountains,
naturally filtered, with an ample reservoir and storage tank,
supplying water under adequate pressure to all parts of the
city, providing improved fire protection. The cost has been
heavy, amounting to over $2,000,000. With the growth in de
mand the system -will be able to carry the burden, and its ca
pacity is such that it can take care of greatly increased de
mand without much added investment. P
The water question, for years a vexing problem, is now
being solved in a very satisfactory fashion. Tne next big un
dertaking for the city should be a sewage disposal plant.

H. A. Johnson, Sr.,' was born in
St. Lawrence county. New York,
Feb. 18. 1819. He went to Pike
county. Ills., in 1840, and in 1841
married Elizabeth J. Whitman.
He purchased and improved
two places in that . state, but in
April. 1847, started from Pitts
field, Pike county. Ills., for Ore
gon, in the big covered wagon Im
migration of that : year, which
doubled the white population of
what is now the three Pacific
northwest states and the western
parts of Montana and Wyoming
from around 4500 to approxi
mately 9000.
V V :
In the Johnson train were 23
wagons. Their own family num
bered four on departing, and a
child came on the plains to make
it five.
It was the first train to take
the Barlow, trail that year, over
the Cascades, arriving in the Wil
lamette valley Sept. 10. They took
up their donation claim that year.
It had been filed upon previously
by a sailor; who had built a log
house and then abandoned it.
That structure .was without win
dows or doors', but was made hab
itable and furnished shelter un
til 1849, when it was replaced by
a hewn log. house. This in turn
was abandoned for a better one
in 1855. .
. e W
The Johnsons lived on beef and
potatoes the first winter. In 1848,
Sept. 18, Mr. Johnson started with
pack horses for the gold diggings
of California; mined on the Am
erican river and Spanish bar, tak
ing out $50 to $75 a day till bad
weather came. Left for home in
February, 1849. on a sailing ves
sel,' bringing for his family auch
luxuries as coffee, sugar and a
few dishes.
Mr. Johnson added to his hold
ings till In 1862, when he had ac
c u m n 1 a t e d 1200 acres; then
bought a general, merchandise
stock at Jefferson. In 1872 he
gave each of his sons a farm, sold
a portion of his land, and moved
to Salem. He was assessor of Mar
ion county while residing at Jef
ferson, was justice of the peace
there, and had the same office in
Salem 12 years, and was deputy
county assessor.
V
Isaac Miller, father of Charles,
was captain of a train of 30 cov
ered wagons in the 1847 immi
gration. He was a member of the
territorial legislature, was a ma
jor in the Rogue River Indian' war
of 1855-6, when he was wound
ed. He had settled first near Jef
ferson, then lived in Clackamas
and finally in Jackson county, he
and his wife dying at Ashland on
the same day and being buried in
the .same grave. 4
Charles, coming from . the Cal
ifornia mines in 1850. acquired
over 500 acres of land in the
Chemulpum valley, mostly in
what had been the II. A. Johnson
donation claim.
He was born In Montgomery
county, Ind., Feb. 23, 1830. So
he was 19 when he and his broth
er Samuel joined the California
gold rush in 1849. They went on
horseback, their supplies on pack
animals.
They filled their pouches with
$1500 worth of gold dust each
on the American river, and were
ready to come to Oregon.

Charles Miller was mechanical;
had learned the carpenter's trade,
and could turn his . hand to al
most anything requiring mechan
ical genius and skill.
He carried on general farming
on the land he had acquired in
Chemulpum valley, and gradually
acquired a large herd of pure
bred Jerseys and went extensive
ly into dairying; erected a cream
ery, gave work to a considerable
force. (The writer is getting part
of this information from "Will
amette Valley." history book of
the Chapman Publishing com
pany, Chicago, 1903.)
Chae. Miller married Miss Nan
cy Vaughn, of the 1852 immigra
tion from West Virginia. This
was In 1854.
He was in the Oregon legisla
ture of 1885,. elected as (demo
crat; ran for congress ott the
populist ticket in 1892; was
chairman of the populist state
central committee during the
campaign of 1894. Was justice
of the peace for several years.
e e
He was a charter member of
the Grange; a Mason u one of the
founders of the Jefferson Insti
tute and a director of that in
stitution. The Chapman book tells
a story of an early day experience
of his. thus:
"With several companions.
among them Geo. W. Hunt, Lewis
Streidt and Samuel Haxt. the lat
ter a mountaineer, Mr. Miller
camped in 1851 on the Rogue
river, and in the night Indians
stole 19 of the 20 horses they
had. Mr. Miller with one of the
others started on the departing
trail with hope of overtaking the
Indians and securing the animals.
Though finally successful in re
covering the . horses they had
much trouble and a long hunt,
following the savages seven days
and nights on one trip and eight
days on . another before finding
them, as, afterc going 15 miles,
they had separated ' and driven
the animals in different direc
tions. In the mean time they had
captured two chiefs, putting their
Indian . families under guard,
which operated in their favor and
induced the return of the stolen
property.-

accompanied say the reports
by his son. It seems it was sug
gested that he go to Spain. But
Mr. Hanfstaengel thought better
of it. Spain and the whole mission
appeared ; rather fishy. Why the
mission anyhow, and why Spain?
Also his fiftieth birthday had
come and gone with no telegram
of congratulation . to "dear Putzi"
from the Relchspresident and
Fuehrer. The omission was omin
ous. By such small indications do
yesterday's idols know that the
royal thumb has been turned
down. In Germany turned down
thumbs sometimes mean more
than Coventry. Mr. Hanfstaengel,
perhaps, thought of- other gentle
men who at one time or another
had been the Intimates of his
chief. Of the blustering Roetam,
the scholarly Strasser, the fem
inine and pretty Ernst, all very
much dead today, with bullets,
lots of bullets in their bodies.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk," one can hear
Putzl saying, wagging his heavy
head gravely. "Tsk Tsk." So he
didn't go to Spain. Instead he
stepped across the bottler, there,
near Munich,, where several bor
ders are handily about, end went
to England. Thus a career in the
service of dictatorship, and the
heroic principle, against the flab
blness of liberal democracy, seeks
Its final refuge under the tolerant
protection of the softies. '
( e e e
Mr. Hanfstaengel has long been
one of my favorite characters. My
Berlin friends tell me that I have
enjoyed a peculiarly , vivid place in
Mr. Hafstaengel'a emotions, ever
since the day back in 1931 when
he introduced me to the Fuehrer,
who was then just Mr. Hitler. 1
had written to Putzl for the inter
view, for it one spoke English one
approached the chief through the
musician. "Madam," . he replied
gallantly, "Mr. Hitler, win see
you. You have a very nice hand
writing." Perhaps Mr. Hanfstaen
gel was given to the s t n d y of
graphology, a science highly con
sidered In Germany, and thought
that he discerned in my script both
tenderness and sympathy. How
great was. his disillusionment;
how tfalse was I to my revealed
nature! How perverse of me and
how unwomanly! I did not like the
Fuehrer. And the Fuehrer did not
like the interviewer. "The Thomp
son,"' Putzl would say, his eyes
blazing with wrath, his mane of
lank, dark hair falling into -his
eyes. "That Woman! She nearly
cost me my Job!"
I suspect that Putxi's hatred of
"The Woman" opiated to benefit
some of my colleagues. One of
them recalls how Putxl loomed
upon him in the Unter den Linden
spying him from a distance, and
shaking at him a long and agitat
ed finger. -"What do yon write
about my country?"- he waUed.
"Why do you see things with so
jaundiced an eye?" But suddenly
his Ira melted. "Still." he con
cluded, "you are better than the
Thompson!"

Miss Davis Is a reporter. She
writes in the styje oi a namsn

iier text understandable, readable
and even entertaining to the ave
rage American taxpayer. Serious
students of economics complain
that. whHe the material is cor

have been more useful had it been

this is a report for the great Am

for economists. They know what
It is all about anyway. The ave

Miss Davis has divided her
book into six parts: The first Is
the "American M u d d 1 e." and
deals with this country in 1932.
We are introduced to the Civil
Works Administration, the Fed
eral Emergency Relief Act, and
the Works Progress administra

entire country, in Part Two, Miss
Davis uses Chicago as a sample
and describes the workings of the
program in relation to definite
situations. The administration in
Chicago "Iras been neither out

author believes, of the country as
a whole. In Part Three, she tells
us what Is "Wrong with the Pic

devoted to the relief situations In
England and in Sweden. The last
division is called the 'Road Map"
with a "Look, Learn and Blue

Miss Davis tells ns that none of

given him- but the system was at
fault: . . :
""When Miss Do ran (the social
worker) put in a requisition for
clothes and bedding for the four
Wiczowski children (the relief
clients) the package would come
half filled. Headquarters didn't
. tava anv 4T4a(Afi f nr

six-year olds on hand, or they had
no trouaera for five-year-old
boys. Or they had no comforters
that month . . . A district office
did not always know -at the-be-j-innlng
of the month how much
It would have at the end, not be
cause the administrator's office
was niggardly or suspicious, but
because the county administrator
did not always know how much
he was to get from L E. R. C.
which in turn was frequently baf
fled by Washington.
"However, the author tells ns
that F; E. Jt. A. was as a -whole
free from politics. It was better,
we understand than W. P." A.
which on the contrary," was not
free from politics. Miss Davis does
not think very highly of W. P. A.
It has, she says, "given the con
cept of work relief a very black
eye." In her opinion, it has very
little to recommend It: "Thi so
cial and human benefits are all
out of proportion to its prodig
ious and unjustified 'cost. It Is
self-perpetuating. It causes dislo
cations in local financing and or
dinary employment. Worst of all.
It Is in the hands, of politicians
never too troubled by concern for
the public weaL The .longer we
maintain it, the more solidly root
ed It becomes and the harder to
blast It out."
Miss Davis book is not as one
sided as: the foregoing would
make It appear. She -tells the good
thiners where she finds them
as well as the obviously unsound:
"Citizens," she points out," are
likely to jeer at the sight of the
W. P, A. worker standing on cor
ners checking traffic. This Isn't
so foolish as it looks. The traffic
department is using Its findings
to discover where and when traf
fic jams exist In order to reroute
and facilitate transportation ...
A number or women are working
In the recorder's office, copying
files, and records that have been
stuffed away gathering dust. It
used to take lawyers months and
even years to trace claims at
their clients expense." -.
But she does urge a program of
public works .planned in advance
and suitable for periods of crisis.
Programs which can quickly ab
sorb large numbers of unemploy
ed without crowding them all into
ditch digging where W. P. A.
workers move at a "funereal
gait, if at all.! . . . where there
are "too many men at. work" and
where, "if they worked at nor
mal speed, the job would be done
in no time at all. and then what
would they do?"
