" He has clashed frequently with the hew deal over its propensity to bring in bills .written by bram trusters and rush them through 1 witnout amendment atul often without adequate debate In the panic of MarciC 1933, such action by the hysterical congress was understand able. House and senate were glad to have some strong daddy take them by the. hand and lead breaking banks, foreclosures skies cleared congress became , Aiott say3. at trve last session it legislation; even bucked up enough courage to reject one of "must bills the president submitted. ; There is another tendency needs to guard against, that house." In the good old days heavy contributors to campaign funds assumed as by right the privilege of having their lob byists write or revise tariff bills and other bills dealing- with business. They still frequent legislative, purlieus and seek to modify legislation, but their influence is no longer potent. I i A new type of "powerful lobbyist hasome on the scene, and he swings a more powerful paunched attorney for railroads group lobbyist, the legislative ity grolip interested in legislation in its own interest just as truly as the corporation lobbyist pulled his wires in behalf of his clients. These bloc lobbyists have all taken the old Anti Saloon league method as their threat of vote reprisals are used . ime. a 1 i i a e . - Among tnese minority Diocs.wno now exert power m Washington may be mentioned eration of labor, the American ion, John Lewis's CIO, the grange, the railroad brotherhoods. These organizations are composed of many individuals, but the primary purpose of their look after -the economic interests of these groups. This in eludes initiating laws of special benefit to them and getting bills amended which they think threaten the peculiar interest of their group. Law-making now becomes laws dictated' by group pressures; provided counter-pressures in opposition are" not too strong.' less it gets worked over to the group. The houses of congress actually they are still made on the outside, and the actual law ia the resultant of the group pressures in that economic area. , This is not to impute wrong-doing to the blocs ; but nee s essarily any bloc is biased in its i general public interest is made i m a avv a " oi tne Dioc me improvement f corporate lobbyists is that the Tof . individuals. The burden on the congress is the same how ever; to do its own legislating writing laws as nearly as pos sible m the general public interest.

Political outriders from Portland visitation and brought the amazing word that the Four Horsemen of political bad caused by the death of Gus Moser and had picked their chief nemesis, Ralph v atson, as the fourth rider of the republican quadrumvirate. "Woe is us," they said, !"to have the political writer on a democratic daily setting in on councils in repub lican strongholds, even if he is a registered republican." . Next day, one of the four horsemen rode the range as far as Salem, and when quizzed about the new Fourth Horseman, admitted the charge and defended it. "Now, he said, "Ralph can't smear the Four Horsemen like he used to." That, it is recalled, has been Watson's 'favorite means of killing off re publican candidates: tieing the Four Horseman label on them. - - ' ' '1 i The outriding Horseman ical prayer meeting of republican faithful to.be held at Har ry Banfield's place over on the grave problems like the U, S. ship would be discussed.

L Spring valley makes a lovely picture. It is one of the beauty spots of Oregon, and it Is poten tially as abundantly fruitful as It Is siiperlatlTely beautiful. No wonder early pioneers with far vision and progressive ideals, witti a wide choice, Settled here. They named it Spring valley for its living water, with every first log cabin .home in a sweeping semicircle near a limpid spring, gushing promise of the bounties and blessings of God. the bestow al of which shall make "a well of water springing up into everlast ing life." in the undying words of the Master at Jacob's WelL Tpose pioneers lived lives and performed services worthy of the pride ot those Who have fo lowed them, ana it is highly proper that this pride be shown on every fit tine occasion. ! .

When the boys went abroad this sum mer on a junket, he went along. HebeHeves in peace between na tions and between classes.

A completely obscure Jew from the New York Bronx, entirely alone, with no organization behind him, came to Berlin, - mobilized the German army and obtained its active cooperation in a pub lie gesture of reconciliation be tween Jews and their persecutors and between all men, every where. It is true that the army had not the remotest idea of what it was doing. But it did it, and the symbol of its con fusion lies in Unter den Linden, upon the "memorial to the dead, cheek-by-jowl with a wreath from Mussolini, its white and gold rib bon implicitly proclaiming to all who pass that the.

But a' UMiorm is a unuorm, apparently to the military mind. The nr' mission was granted. And now the permission it.ir started automatic fo r c e a. it moved the robot-machine. Th 1 guards goose-atepped out. Thi hollow ceremonial was fctaged. Ana n was wrtn a guard of hon or, that Iuie. made his gesture with vhich he cried aloud tj the German people and 'jo the world! Lets call off this monkey-business! Let's really honor the dead Let's all make peace No conceivable organization or conspiracy, not a world-wide plot, not a trained and weapons -army, could have accomplished what Izaie Gennett of the Bron did, unite by hitoeelf, quite alone. Not ail the speeches and mani festoes and, protests which have been tittered for four years now; on behalf of hte persecuted Ger man Jews,-contain a rebuke so Courteous', so unanswerable. as Izzie's implicit remark: Some of cur boys died, too. In an over-organized world, where ideas have validity accord ing to the number of heads that can be counted marching behind them, Izzie of the Bronx assertod the primacy of the individual. "No. . Nobody tpld me to do it. I don't represent any body" a a In Germany they say, over an 1 over end over again that the Jews are "different." A who! propaganda, doled out in word and! picture, calls attention to every possible characteristic of physiognomy and bearing that can be spotted as "Jewish."' Izzie is a Russian-born Jew from the Bronx. Yet Izzie's appearance awakened no suspicion. Was it the uniform? Are all men equal or ara all men non-meif in uni forms? All unconsciously Izzie challenged a whole racial theory. . The army accepted him. Or was it the wreath? The unimagined spectacle of a man whome a whole nation has conspired to humiliate, standing, before that nation neither cowed nor arro gant, with a memorial wreath In' his hands. a o o There was nothing, there is nothing, that a powerful Reich can do to Izzie. The police ques tioned him, . but there was noth ing to find out. There was noth ing except what was. The ges ture was Integral, unique, com plete. It was simply that, and nothing more. It was perfect. Pure. Therefore Immortal. Inde- . stmctible. What counter-feature could be made? Could one snatch from the tomb so naive a tribute to the heroic dead? One could not. ,- a o Bombs j fall on Shanghai and burst ' in Spain. Lloyd-George thunders In the House of Com mons; Mussolini speaks, heralded by two! thousand. bugles;. Russia shudders i under - an unending Purge; men march and counter march acroes the continents, across ths newspaper pages. And in the midst ef the tu mult and the terror lies. Izzie's wreath, . saying until . its brave ribbon fades, that this world is not becoming to those born Into the Great Race, the Only Race; the Human. e Leave Tzsie alone.
