That is' shocking news to Tam many hall which in its eventful history in New York City has not been "squeamish" about the conduct of its district leaders provided they took good care of their constituents. Hines did that. He was charming and affable; generous in his holidays donations a typical Tammany politician. Now that a blue-ribbon grand jury has found him guilty on 13 counts centering on his receiving huge sums for political protection afforded "Dutch" Schultz and his policy racketeers, the great metropolis will know that Thomas E. Dewey was not fooling when he promised to carry his clean-up drive to the higherups who nullified, the functioning of policemen and courts with highly paid protection. '. Hines postponed the verdict when his attorneys won a - motion of mistrial made before Judge Pecora last fall. In the good old days of New York legal procedure the case Jwould have ended there. But Dewey is a different sort of prosecutor and early this year he was back at Hines, with stronger, witnesses than ever bef ore. Three of Schultz aides Were state witnesses against Hines and it was their testimony Which convinced the jury, i ; Dewey deserves congratulation for his persistence. Hines '. iiad friends who count. Never before had he been accused of fcrime. He boasted that he made judges. Now it is probable that he will receive a sizeable prison sentence and for a time - iNew York City law administration will be salutarily improved. 1 1 Tammany win make out that Dewey is seeking only . political attention bythe prosecution md it is unquestionably - the fact that his brilliant New York record, culminated in the Hines conviction, brings him national note. But Dewey U much more than a politician; he is as skillful, persistent and courageous a prosecutor as New York City has known inis generation, wnen ne set New York City he promisede " m m m m 'Z 1 - who could buy their way free. I - i Hopkins Comes 'Round , F At long last New Deal higherups are swinging around to the political viewpoint urged upon them by their opponents for' five years.' The purge which backfired may have occa sioned the changed front: the public tedium at the continued excoriation of financial devils of 1929 may have had a part. jWfaatever the cause has been; the recent utterances of Secre jtary.Morgenthau and Secretary Hopkins were mild and con- . Jciliatory. ; ' ; ,. . '.-"-. V.; The secretary of the treasury wants it plainly under stood that business should expect no new tax burdens from ' this session of congress and some relaxatTon In present taxes which "impede capital flow." Mr." Hopkins, in his first full dress suit as a cabinet members,; goes along on the tax pro gram and adds his pledge that the administration proposes to do everything possible to. break the-"lo-jaro of private investment in utilities, railroads and housingTolerance and fairness from .labor in dealing .withemployers" is an added Hopkins demand-almost .the f irsli time a . ranking New Deal official has indicated in six years that any of the - capital-labor; trouble may "have sprung from labor's overtness. ' -The conciliatory statements are helpful but belated. Had they come after the sweeping New Deal victories of 1936, an : era of good feeling would have been possible between busi ness and the government which, by now would have gone far in stopping depressing. Instead Morgenthau, Hopkins, Ickes, et al, continued to crusade, to press for new 'reforms" be - fore old ones were accomplished, and national business jitters continued. Now the assurances come too, late. A repentant Hopkins, admitting politics jn relief and bespeaking modera tion by labor, is out of character. V" Birthday of i The Oregon gas' tax has had a birthday, so the Oregon State Motor association 'reports, and 20 candles are burned for this most effective method of raising revenue for high ways. Within a decade after other state in the union had himself picked it up in 1932 easy ways to take more aheckels from his citizens. The late James S. Stewart who worked for. so many years in. the state land Office and the late WW B. Dennis, lumber operator and engineer from Carlton, were very proud of this'child of their brains. With C. C. Chapman and Loyal M. Graham, the latter active still in the practice of law at Forest Grove, these men devised the' tax which was of great est importance in taking Oregon out of the mud. The man who used the roads paid on a use basis. The better roads became, the more gasoline was consumed and thus the more funds were freed for highway maintenance and construc tion. The tax, collected from the major gas distributors,: was -t ?l J X- J 1 It- - 1 v easuy auminisiereu Dy ine siaie. i .. i In the 20 years Oregon lias seen the tax in operation, one cardinal principle has been developed none of the reve nues from the tax must be diverted from highway purposes. That does not mean, these revenues cannot be apportioned to various 4 highway needs-prepayment of state highway bonds, assistance to counties in their highway-work, main- . tenance of the state police highway patrol. But the gasoline tax revenues, through depression and collapse of many tax collecting levies, have been jealously preserved from en croachment for other state functions. The policy is one Which must be rigorously . followed jm. Jong as gasoline taxes are levied. -J z.. "r'-; --' ----L : I - - .'"i livi? ft Armament !

J. HENDRICKS Dr. John MeLoasnlla. statesman, pioneer, triend f of our fonndinr fathers aad " ' mothers la their times of needt (CoDclndlnr from yesterday: ) Peter Hi Barnett, quoted In the preceding parafraphs, beeamo a member of the It 44 Oregon pro visional gOYernmpnt leslalatnre. then saprerae . jodge under that sorernment; was offered . the U. 8. judceshlp, hut Joined the California sold rush; became the first governor of that state, then a leading San Francisco banker. In 1880, ST years after the erents be spoke of la those para, graphs, he wrote a book. "Recol lections and Opinions of an Old Pioneer,? In which -be said: - s V - "When we arrired In Oregon we were poor, and oar teams were so much reduced as to be unfit for errice until the next spring. Those of as who came by water from Walla Walla left oar cattle there for the winter; and those who came by water from . The Dalles left their cattle for the win ter at that point. Eren If oar teams had been fit for use when we arrlTed, they would have been of no "benefit to us. as we could not bring them to the WUlamette valley untU the spring; of 1844 Pork was 10 and flour 4 cents a poand. and other prorlslona In proportion. These were high prices considering ' our scanty means and extra appetites. ; "Had U not 'been tor the gener ous kindness of the' gentlemen In charge of the business of the Hud son's Bay company, we should bare suffered much greater pri vations. .The company furnished many "of our immigrants with pro visions, clothing, seed, and other necessaries on credit. Many of our immigrants were unworthy of the favors they received, and only re turned abuse for generosity." The Hoi man book gives the same kind of .testimony as to the treatment received by the immi gration of 1844, some of It by John Minto, one of the lenders of the companies coming that year; the same as to that of 1845. So long as Dr. McLoughlln had charge of or Influence with the management at Fort Vancouver, the story ran true to the forego ing. V : There is a long story regarding the Oregon City land . claim of Dr. McLoughlln. He fUed upon the land that became the town site of that city early, and made regular every legal essential. But he was deprived of the ti tle that was his by every legal and moral right as long ss he lived. He died September 3. 18S7. The title was confirmed to his heirs named in hij will by the state of Oregon through an act of thexlerf lslature which became - a law through the approval of Governor A. C. Glbbs October 17, 1862. The senate passed the law with two dissenting votes, the house with not a negative voice. , . , ' Dr. McLoughlln was really a martyr. The principal owners a id managers of .his company in Lon don were interested only in- prof its; they .were mere dollar chas ers. They did not understand and did not want to understand the acts of Dr. McLoughlln that he (Dr. . McLoughlln) knew would lead to the loss of a large Dart of its field to his company. , .But he likewise knew he could not ' avoid the . doing of those things, for, had - he been of the mind of his London overlords, the Oregon covered wsgon immi grants would have pulled down Fort Vancouver. They would have been Justified, for otherwise their women and children, our forbears, would have starved.' What would you, reader of this, with red blood, in your veins, hsve done?. ' ;."-' : ' -.v Then, Dr. McLoughlln was, as before said, a man, and a gentle man, and a Christian. In the years being reviewed, when he was not a member of - any - church, but when, as always, he respected th true Christianity of all sincere followers of the lowly Nazarene no - matter of what creed, . or no creed. Read, what He told the woman at Jacob's welL Then, still more. This writer believes, as many who were near him or have studied his life have come to believe, v that Dr. Mc Loughlln was au along reaHy a Jeffersonian democrat; that he would have believed with Lincoln in a government of, by and for the people, and did believe In that form of government. One more fact, from the Holman book Quoting: "When the Immigrants of 184 i were coming -along the Columbia river, some helpless and almost hopeless, there was a plot by the Indians to massacre these Ameri cans. It was prevented by Dr. Mc-. Loughlin. r b ,: ; ' "The effect of such a massa cre would have been tremendous. It would have, probably, prevent ed the further settlement of Ore gon for years. Had the. United Statea sent troops to punish the Indians in the disputed Oregon Country, it would have almost certainly - precipitated a war wltp ureat .Britain." : How did Or. McLoughlln d!d In the bud the: plan for the massa cre r A dozen Indians appeared at Fort Vancouver. One of them bawled out to his companions, in the hearing . of Dr. McLoughlln : iur ui lu (ui mac Bostons!, In Indian Chinook jar gon, Boston .is American. The cry was a, feeler for; Dr. McLonahun He rushed at the savage, with his cane - raised, w a r n i ng . them against such a thought. And he sent boats and men with supplie up the Columbia, to meet the im migrants, and thus show to all In dians that the Hudson's Bay com pany people were their friendi sad .would protect them. T--i:-s-- VW 'Dr. McLoughlln, when he re signed, his, position at Fort Van roarer in' 1845, to go to Oregon City and become an American cit izen, which he did in 184 . he was receiving a ilary of 812,000 a year, and much mere than earn ing it. r .. u : - . The schemes of selfish and de signing men and politicians to de feat his right to his land claim there caused him great losses. So he died a comparatively poor man As said abort,, ha-was really a Civic Celebration Honors Oldest V - r-r- , " ,-' 't xv - 5 Well known as the oldest eat la thrTjmted States, Tommy CSark, 24, of Seneca FaQs, N.

(H)nh -ftOn By DOROTHY . 0 Borrowed Time 'Ura, Rooeevelt'a statement oa Tuesday night that the National Touth administration. the'WPA and other relief ageneies are merely tempor ary atop-gaps by which the American, people "bought time -to think" was both refreshingly can did and .some what perturb ing. The acknowl edgment that re lief .measures have failed to - f far any "real solution of the problem of unemployment Is .a recognition of truth. But that we Iut spent billions of dollars to' buy'off discontent means that we have created a stop-gap that is nuklnr it extremely difficult to do any thinking or to take any measures which , would ctraga the stop-gap for some thing really constructive. - For while the administration has been "buying time to think, it has also been defending its own stop-gap measures with very instnnner.t of argument and propaganda, and by these measures it has created an enor mous rested interest that Is pit ted against any fundamental re form a. It has advanced and publicized economic and social theories which sow are accepted by a considerable section of the popu lation. We have bought time to think for the- last six years, and the sin of thinking is that we have got to undo the actions that have been taken ia the absence of thought. 0 There were many in this coun try who advised thst we think before we set up the WPA. There were many who, though they be lieved in public works tor the unemployed, predicted that if the -government took upon Itself the duty and task of creating work, for no economic purpose, but merely as a "stop-gap" and a means of "buying time," it would make itself an object ot blackmail, create a politically self-perpetuating body of wards ot the state, discourage and-dislocate the economic system, break down work standards, and Instead of solving unemployment, establish it as an accepted way ot life. There are few people who could deny today that most of these prophesies have come true. Meanwhile the very status of the WPA as a part of the total eco nomy remains undefined. . It is, for Instance, generally accepted that the WPA is a form ot work relief, and it has repeat edly been stated that the WPA is always anxious to move Its workers Into private industry, if the opportunity arises. It has also been a theory that the WPA should pay wages certainly not above the level set by trade un ions. , .... . T - ' But I have before' me a clip ping from a Chicago paper that the federal theatre project, "The Mikado," is closing down in that city, in the midst of a capacity business in order to move into) New York as a touring company, where It will compete with a similar performance privately financed. The WPA workers, being on tour, will have to be paid ex penses in addition to their , WPA salaries, which will bring the average salary above the equity rating in New York, where the actors of the other company live. The producer of the New York "Mikado" performance offered to take over the entire cast, at equity wages of course, and send It out on the road while the New York production was run ning. This offer was turned down by the project which Immediately contracted with lu players to keep them on WPA. What pol icy in this connection is being followed? The confusion ot policy is due to the fact that we have created in the WPA an economic no man's land by confusing public work with relief.

The paternallstlcally supported part of our population is living on borrowed time time borrow ed from thinking through the problem and the longer a more constructive policy is postponed the more difficult it will become to solve it 0 0 The euence of democratic government is to take thought of the people's interests, the neo- ple being the whole nation. The entire organism must be healthy the economic life blood, must flow nnobstructedly throughout the organism. The WPA and pa ternalistic measures applied to a section of the population cre ate a thrombosis. The problem of congress is to turn relief and public works Into channels where they will supplement, complement and In vigorate the whole system in stead of choking and disarrang ing it. It is not an Impossibility, as certain countries' hare demon strated, notably Sweden. But It is a problem of intelli gence and planning. It re uires methodical, detailed considera tion. The growing recognition on the part of the administration that the problem has not been successfully met is a very hope ful Strn. But we cannot Inrlefl. nitely roll up the bill tor time to tninx. Copyright, ltjf. New York Tri bune, Inc. The Safety Valve Letters From ' Statesman Readers To the Editor: It mar be of interest to the DUblic to know that a new milk ordinance for Salem is being drawn uo. In it there la a clause limiting the sale of milk, In less man gallons, to the standifcT quart and pint bottles. It probably is true that the distributors cannot afford to sell quarts of milk tor less thsn tho present price, but the producer onlr gets about a third of thin amount and If the distributor would, he could put up two quart bottles to sell at about one and a half times the price of a one-quart bottle at little or no more .expense to himself lor bottles, handling;, etc.. and' so enable the average city person to use a great deal more of the milk they so badly need, and at the same time make an out let for a lot more of the farm er's milk instead of compelling him to sell it for churning Team to further glut an over-supplied market, and for which milk he is, only able to get a little over two ceuis a quart.. The bottling clause in the milk ordinance would prohibit sale of milk in two-quart bottles If any progressive dairy man did aant to increase the consump tion of milk in this way; and to what good purpose? Is not a two-quart bottle as sanitary as a one-quart, -or what? Further reductions in retail price could also be made by selling in gallon bottles or jugs but the milk industry is so sewed up by regulations that It is al most If not quite Impossible tb make any such change. HUGH V. HARRIS. To the Editor: r The barber bill presented to the legislature by the, Oregon state board ot examiners, will In event of enactment into state law, authorize the board to regulate fair practice prices bar bers shall charge for" their services, and the hours barbers shall operate their shops. The purpose of the .bill is not to create a - profiteering grafting in the barber business. Instead it aims at ; regulating the barber business into a fair, practice, de cent living vocation. - f There have always been in Oregon too many barbers . who are too smart: tor the fair service of the public and the barber vo cation in generaL Too many barbers observing most barbers opttatlng their shops, charging prices for their services, and opening their shops on regulated hours, constituting a fair prac tice Tor a decent livelihood, and protection of their health. and strict observance ot the sanita tion' laws already in effect. Too many, barbers conceive the idea f conducting their shops on cut-rate, cut-throat prices, and unreasonable hours, and little respect : for sanitation laws, in sin attempt to cut in on the fair barbers and ( run them ' out ot business. This Is" not only un fair to the public but Is unfair to the barber. There should be a fair practice regulation ot all crafts ot -work including com mon labor ia our country. Tbe recent wage-hour law enacted by congress is a step in. the right direction, .but th VottnsL f orw that; law1 should have been ashamed at themselves for supportinf jt .bllL proposing pay ing., less than 60-eenta nor hour -for 'any hind - of .'common labor u any part ox our country.
