Headache With
It's amazing what people
to attain that certain dizzy feeling, when they could get the
same effect merely by attempting to rationalize this nation i
silver policy.
Back in 1934 a congress
thinking passed a silver purchase act which authorized the
treasury to buy all the silver that was offered, from any
; source, until the nation's silver supply should amount to one
third of its metal monetary stock. Since the gold. supply, for
various reasons, has been increasing enormously, silver pur
chase has never caught up with this ratio.
New a senate committee has started an investigation of
the operation of the silver purchase act. Secretary Morgen
thau defended the act, at the first day's hearing, on the
ground that purchases of silver from abroad have stimulated
the buying power of half a dozen nations. He mentioned Chi
na, Mexico, Canada, Peru, Chile and the Philippines.
AsPto whether the United States is still buying silver
.from Mexico in view of that nation's expropriation of agricul
tural and oil lands of American citizens, Morgenthau was not
able to give a definite answer. No purchases are being made
direct from Mexico, but there is no way to detect Mexican sil
ver offered through some other country.
As a matter of fact this silver policy forced China and
Mexico off the silver standard because the price offered made
silver bullion worth more than their silver coin. Morgenthau
is right, in a way; but what is the value to this nation of ex
porting goods with one hand and paying for them with the
other by buying silver at a price above the world market?
. The silver policy was born, of the inflationary idea, for
it developed out of an, international conference aimed orig
inally at restoring the gold standard but droooed suddenly
because it had a decreasing effect upon realistic stock mar
kets. And it still involves an inflationary peril, for-the treas
ury has power to issue silver certificates up to $1.29 per ounce
of silver it holds, but has done so only ud to 43 cents. Senator
Thomas of Oklahoma advocates the full utilization of this
power. f. . .
On the investigating committee-is Senator Pittman of
Nevada, now apparently dubious about the foreign nurchase
of silver; but jt was largely hjs influence as head of the pow
erful silver bloc that brought it into bein". Of what use is all
this silver, bought for far more than it will brintr in the world
market? Westerners still use the silver dollar, but the silver
in it is worth only 47 cents; it is toVen money the same as
paper, and much more awkward to handle.
It is certainlv time that the government reviewed its sil
ver policy and called a halt on foreign purchases at an unwar-
ranted, pegeed price. Pemoval of . the subsidv to the silver
mines involved in domestic purchase is probably too much to
expect.
Politics Is a
Woodrow Wilson came back from the peace conferences
in Europe, fired with enthusiasm for the machine that was
going to prevent wars in futurethe League of Nations. His
; political opponents in congress gave him the works.
Herbert Hoover fought as best he could against a world
depression that wasrhone of his making. His political oppon
ents gave him the works. .
Right now Franklin D. Roosevelt is moving into the last
quarter of his tenure in the-White House, and his political op
ponents, both in the ODposition party and in his own party,
are giving him the works.
Roosevelt's appointments which require senate confirm
ation, his relief program, his foreign policy, all are targets
for these opponents. We are inclined to feel sorry for the
president forgetting that he led the forces which crate hi
predecessor the works. Politics is a rough game, FDR has
elected to play 'it and he must take the bumps and bruises
along with the rest. But is politics, played that way, a good
thing for the country ?
Some of the policies which are being kicked around un
der this savage attack may be sound policies. The Statesman
:,. analyzed in considerable detail some time ago, the president's
foreign policy, his reasons for growlinar and encouraginer his
satellites to growl at the dictators. His purpose was to im
press the dictators with this country's sympathy for the Eu
ropean democracies in the hope of discouraging them from
rash adventures. That may have been dangerous procedure,
but the president considered the European situation desper
ate and thought extreme measures justified. Whether he was
right or not. the temoest stirred up at home over the sale of
planes to France, and over the "secret" meeting with a sen
ate committee, has robbed his gesture of effectiveness.
If the president was wrong in this instance, he will be
right in others; and then, while his opponents continue tn
. .give him the works, the country will suffer. Furthermore his
opponents may overplay their
pathy for the president thus defeating theif own ends. Roos
. evelt is moving toward the close of his administration : the
possibility of a third term has all but vsjmhedbarring iust
such a reaction of personal sympathy. For the good of th
country as well as for the good of their own aims, the presi
dent's opponents should moderate their attacks and in vital
"matters, forget politics entirely. But they won't They'll give
him the works. - "''
Legislative Efficiency
There is before the legislature- proposal to adopt in Ore-
. gon the California "split session" plan under which the state
lawmaking body takes a recess after introducing bills and be
fore taking them up for consideration. Nowjcomes the Ore
gjonian as an advocate of the Kansas plan, which calls for a
permanent "legislative council" to map needed legislation be
tween sessions, with a staff of employed experts to assist
I : The discussion emphasizes the inefficiency of Oregon's
present system, under which 90 divergent minds are su'dden

January every other y eat and faced with the vague task of
agreeing upon and enacting within -a theoretical 40 days, all

i . History repeats itself from session to session. There is
alow, aimless wandering for the first half of the session, fair
ly well directioned procedure for a week or so and then a fi
nal bedlam. ?
- Some reform is necessary. The California plan is report
ed to be unsatisfactory in practice. The TCarisas plan merits
investigation. There have
. some of the assembly's work

V problem while it is "hot". Between sessions, the difficulty is
' .forgotten until it has to be gone through all over again.

By R. J. HENDRICKS)
Aunt Martha's coins 2-9-31
away leaves a vacant -
space: life ot a'- great
good Oregon pioneer woman:
S
The Aunt Martha of ' this col
umnist, the best Aunt Martha he
ever knew, went away on Satur
day last, her great spirit making
Its flight to the fields ot aspho
del beyond the stars.
She was Mrs. T. G. Hendricks,
Eugene, who had lived in . that
upper Willamette raley metropo
lis and Us vicinity over S 7 years,
a f uU and useful life where grew
from a wilderness a fine city and
a well balanced supporting terri
tory, of " which growth she was
a helpful part.
Her deceased . husband's father
was a cousin of the father of
this writer: that la how she be
came his Aunt Martha; an' ap
parently tenuous thread, but, In
fact gripped as with, bands' of
steel. When he was a struggling
student "baching" his way, her
bounteous board was erer-a wel
come one to him. She never failed
to hare words ot encouragement
and sympathy.
Her father was Ellas Stewart.
She was born Martha A. 8tewart,
in Polk county, Mo., December
20, 1848. The Stewart family,
father and mother and six chil
dren, started across the plains
from Knorvflle, Iowa, whence
they had moved from Missouri, in
the spring of 1852, with two
covered wagons and four yoke of
oxen to each wagon.
V a
That was the "great" immi
gration; 50,000 people got
through to TJtah, California, Ore
gon (about half to Oregon), and
6000 or more were buried In un
marked graves along the way;
on the Old Oregon Trail. The
mother of the family was one of
SO 00 or more, succumbing to the
plains disease called "cholera."
Death came to her on theNorth
Platte abont 40 miles west of
Fort Laramie; her coffin made
from wagon boards, her A Irg
request that her body be burled
deep carried out.
"Pap" Stewart, as he was fa
miliarly known in his last years,
acquired land, by trade, soon
after his arrival in Oregon, which
became a part of the townsite of
Eugene. So Aunt Martha lived
nearly all of her more than 90
yers in Eugene.
S
Her husband, Thomas G. Hen
dricks, who died December 12,
1919, was also a member of a
pioneer famUy of Lane county.
Mis mother was Elizabeth Bris
tow, whose father Elijah Bris
tow erected the first dwelling for
whites in Lane county, arriving
there in 1846, having come
across the plains to Fort Sutter,
Cal., in 1845. J. M. Hendricks
and wife, parents of T. G., came
in the 1848 immigration, and
settled next to the Bristowg, at
Pleasant Hill. They erected the
first school house in Lane coun
ty; district number one. They
erected the first church in Lane
county, there. The Hendricks and
Bristow firm erected in 1866 at
Eugene the first brick building
in Lane county.
Elijah Bristow wa& the first
man from his locality (in Vir
ginia) to volunteer lor the- war
of 1812. Being a crack r arkg-
man, and General Andrew Jack
Son taking note of it, he had
special services, including scout
ing, in that conflict. Also, he
fought In the Black Hawk war.
". S
T. G. Hendricks was one of
Eugene's first merchants; on her
first city council; one of the first
mayors; was eight y ars Lane
county's superintendent of
schools; started her water sys
tem; was the leading member
of the soliciting committee which
secured the location of the Uni
versity of Oregon at Eugene; a
member of the first building
committee; for 24 years a regent
of the institution, and in that
period chairman of the executive
committee. ,
In 1883 he, with S. B. Fakin,
founded the bank of. Hendricks
& Eakin, which they made the
First National bank in 1886. Its
control Is still in the Hendricks
clan. He donated the Hendricks
park to the city, and no forward
lookling enterprise since the
town's first days has lacked the
hearty support ot that family.
w V s
Aunt Martha had two homes,
the pioneer one on a prominent
site in Eugene: a summer home
called "Poujade" on the McKen-
sle river 39 miles above Eugene
During late years she has pre
ferred the country home, and
lived her last days and died
there.
The state ot Oregon (highway
commission) needed a new right
of way to straighten Its highway
over the MeKensle pass. It would
all but take away the best part
of her Poujade property; nearly
ruin it. Others demanded large
carnages from tne state In such
cases. Aunt Martha asked noth
lag. It was for the general good
so she was for it, without money
and without -price.
Tne same circumstances came
to pass as to "the street -that Tan

gave the demanded space, and

is the way we are.
The Jesse James film carried
over into another week at the
Grand. This fact surprised some
folks and did not surprise some
others. It is a good picture, as a
picture, and that fact that proba
bly 50 per cent of the people here
came from the Missouri-Iowa re
gion where the boys held forth
held forth at least until the
Northfield, Minn., raid, which
ended the James brothers and the
Youngers for all time. I recall
vaguely that one of the James bi
ographies, printed at St. Louis,
recorded Jesse as saying this was
his final exploit. Old Iowans and
Missourians remember Jesse
James, and the tale ot their ex
ploits has descended from gener
atlon to generation, until now
Tyrone Power is not Jesse James
He is far from being the type. Bin

than was the original Jesse.

Dalrymple, the same old "Dal"
as of old, was a caller Saturday

more than ten years. Well, I was
glad to see him.
The fog still holds,
And all the lower air enfolds,
but for some reason or other the
darn thing refused to unfold po
etically, and so well, it is proba
bly better, anyway. It has been a
foggy winter, right foggy.
