In discussing that supreme effort toward recovery by regimentation the president reveals that he still laclts an understanding of. "'or m . ' . 1 f A 1 ' 1 ; reiuses to accept as vaiia, some oi u'.e simpler economic pnu-ciples. The blue eagle is now onlyna fading memory, but these ar ticles serve to refresh realization of what it sought to accom plish. Unemployment was the major problem; so the NRA souzht to solve it by limitine hours. So far? so good: but it was realized that in spreadine work, posed also to spread wages so as roll. To checkmate that tendency, it was decreed thkt wages should not be reduced. Then, in order that employers might be able to meet the payroll, codes designed to establish minimum prices and pre vent ruinous competition were established. Thr president says he realized at the time these regulations would increase prices, but adds that these Jiigher prices would tend to neu tralize the benefits from increased purchasing power. There fore additional agencies were created to protect consumers ; m other words to keep prices from going too high. - . " ": Business men who struggled through that hectic peri od need not be reminded of the manner in which they were ground between the upper and nether millstone, up to the moment of the supreme court decision which shattered the NRA machine completely. But now the president writes that the principal complaint came from industrialists who had op erated under sweatshop conditions before NRA, and who were forced by it to pay decent wages for decent hours of work. He does not care to set it dustries found it totally impossible to survive, and that their collapse increased unemployment The president's own story leaves the impression that he still believes NRA was successful and beneficial. Just as, aft er the armistice in 1918, there were many who regretted that the World war had been stopned before the central powers had been completely crushed, there must be students of econ omics who regret that NRA was not permitted to proceed to its logical conclusion. Railroad Recuperation On Monday President Roosevelt submitted to congress a message on the problem of relieving and rehabilitating the nation's railroads which was in distinct contrast to various communications the chief executive has dispatched to the law. making body. The recommendations in this message were not the pres ident's own. but were merely the relayed sutrgestions of three members 6f the interstate commerce commission and other advisors. , The president s eloquent ideas were concerned; obviously viewed by capital news re porters as evidence of pique otja a studied rebuke, based in either case upon the refusal of dent's lead recently on major critics who contend that the president is always wrong, as a welcome relief ; but it is on the, contrary regrettable '.; if it marks the establishment of a new policy as to relations be tween the executive and congress. In the case of the federal pitcher in the bullpen, and if the there and pitch" the game reaches a stalemate. The game has to go on, even though every pitched ball is knocked over the fence. . . These considerations are ual problem of doing something ness with which congressional , in their laps is not reassuring. would be done at this session ties of the railroads are in urgent need of solution. . And although the railroad should not take congress a great length of time, with these recommendations before it, to select one or more measures of relief. It must be kept in mind that, railroads are under strict regulation, therefore there is selves without government sanction. Loans will be of little benefit: the rails can hardly expect to make headway against a heavier debt load. The ICC has al ready granted the rate increase it thought wise, and there is a limit in that direction. That practically reduces the possible solutions to subsidies or consolidations. Congress oucrht to be able to decide that question in Winter Sports Areas The winter sports season year, judging solely by a glance residents, more than ever before, took to skiis during this season and spent weekends on the slopes of Mt. Hood and in other favored area. It should have been a source of some chagrin that there was no organized, publicized winter sports outing in the Cas cades adjacent to Salem. Idanha excursions of the two previ ous winters were not repeated. stole a march on Salem and their, activities. . It is one of the functions use of the forests. Its officials to improve various proposed these requests could not be fulfilled, an excursion to select the most accessible and best adapted area was recently conducted. A location near the Santiam pass was sought because it would be accessible to people from Salem, Albany, Lebanon, Corval- lis and bugene. ' . Traveling by snowmobile, able area in the Santiam pass factors, unanimously selected a prospective ski run from a point at an elevation of 5709 leet on the slopes of Three Fin gered Jack, down to Lost lake The decision being made, with the approval of represen tatives of all the communities most interested, it remains for the winter sports enthusiasts of these communities to lend their support and when the next winter sports season opens, to patronize and promote this area in their own back yard in preference to those farther away.

The Safety Valve j Letters fron Statesman Readers April 11-31 To the Editor: I would like to use a little space la your Safety Valve if you. will so permit mo. I hare noticed lately accord ing to some papers that our gov ernor is claiming now that he la a friend of organized labor. well, he might-be able to pull that line on Rip Van Winkle but some folks ha vent been c sleep for the last twenty, years. I heard a speech the governor made at the fair "grounds on In dependence day in 19 : 4, I think is was and it was nothing but a tirade against organized labor from start to .finish and I don't think the Leopard has- changed his spots any. And there was. no goon roundup going on then eith er, of course the seeds for it might hare been planted at that time but it evidently . took the warmth of the prospects of an other term to get them growing good. People when rotlng should re member that promises and hot air are from the mouth only, but actions are from the neart. Of course for quantity the sal re the gorernor is passing out cant be beat but the quality is poor and I don't think it's very pene trating. , It's strange tow some folks warp the truth around tiU it looks like a pretzel and think they are getting avay with it. The kind of organizations tne governor is for Is the Associa tion of Farmers, so, called, the Merchants association, the cham bers of commerce and any kind of association that 1 fighting to keep labor In the gutter. Ot course he believes . the laborer should work. -yes,, but for what ever the employor wants to pay. and should not have anything to say about how the state or coun try is run, he believes in the law of the iron heel for the laborers both industrial and agricultural. Talk about dictators, von don't have to go to Europe to find them. We have embryo dictators all around us and th are not all in organized labor either. I wonder how many union men they are using around the state institutions now since the gover- nor has come out espousing the cause of organized labor? EARL r-'HARP.

Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm ot the Lord been revealed? 31 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again. 40 He hath blinded helr eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. 42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Phar isees they did not confess him. lest they should be put out ot the synagogue: .43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. . 44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, belieieth not on me, but on him that sent me. 45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever belie eth on me should not abid in dark ness. 47 And if any man tear my words, and believe not, I Judge him not: for I caie not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the &- me shall Judge him in the last day. 49 For X have not spoken of myself; but the Father wLich sent me, he gave me a command ment, what I fhonld say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that ais com mandment ' is life everlasting: whatsoever ' I speak therefore, even as the Father aald unto me, so I speak. , !"

MXTATIOX Earthly things are but the transient pageants of an hour, and earthly pride is like, the pass ing" Cower, that springs t fall and blossoms bat to die. Alrft it the truth? I knew a man over In Wyoming once who always asked "Aint it he truth?" when he wished to be agreeable, which was usually but not invar iably. He aald he had at one time been the, principal of a highbrow school in Boston, find later, hav ing removed himself to a vil lage in one of the Mississippi val ley states, had been elected pres ident ot the local Good English club. I, of course, have no rea son for doubting the truth of' his statements. Doubtless, he knew where lie had been and what he had done, and U was not then, nor is it now, any cf my busi ness. But earthly things a e hut the transient pageants of an hour. There la not much doubt as to that. Twenty years ao, or such a matter, I fell lto a way of strolltng from our home in East Salem to Willson park on San day afternoons when the weath er was pleasant. This was not a new habit for mo. I had done the same thing in other places. I spent many a Sunday after noon in Roger Williams park at Providence and in the parks of other cities. But In city parks of pleasant Sunday afternoons one does not make acquaintances. For the most part, one only buys head achy articles to eat, and daring the eating thereof vlewa the transient pageant of the hour. I have always flattered myself that I gave a rather good account of myself at Roger Williams that last summer in Providence. As a part of the pageant I mean. Styles tn the fabrics of which men's garments were made some what extreme that season, and I bad a new pair of trousers, tailor-made, which, as I recall them now, were characterised by heavy stripes of black and yellow, al ternating. Also, I had a pearl gray derby hat yes, pearl -gray. The animals in the park zoo set up a deuce of a roar and chat ter when I first appeared tn their midst. But they soon became ac customed to the garments. Willson park is cot, nor has it ever been, a place ot pageantry. unless the assemblage at the weekly band concerns during the summer be termed such. It is a spot of clean green lawns and beautiful trees. It has a foun tain and a profusion if flowers. There are movable settees for those who wish to draw up to listen to a fish story or some thing. The fact was borne in upon me, after several Sunday after noon visits, that the occupants of the settees were the same whom I had seen on former vis its. Elderly men and omen, for the most part, with a suggestion of loneliness about them. Who SUverton Junior High Play Given SILVERTON While many ot the audience expressed the opin ion that "Hobgoblin House" was too weird a vehicle for the youth ful junior high students who pre sented it, the packed house which greeted it at the Eugene Field auditorium Friday night, agreed that it was exceptionally well done.
