Federation of
It was the governor of Oklahoma, if memory serves us,
who mobilized the National Guard alonjr state borders a
couple of years ago in connection with .some dispute of mo
mentary importance. The city of Los Angeles tried to set up
a a 9 . .. - ff M B ' 1 Tlaaa.
a parrot against indigents at we wauiornia uurus. wesiw
a few such incidents, there has never been the serious threat
of, war between two individual states of this union since its
present constitution was adopted.- '.:
That was the example which lent inspiration to Woodrow
Wilson's ideal of a "federation of the world" which boiled
down into the League of Nations. The league is dead as a
dodo,, but the idea survives jor. has been revived. Oregon
saught a glimpse of it the other day in the visit here of
Clarence K. Streit, author of "Unions Now," a book which
proposes a federation, not of all nations but of the enlightened
democracies. He mentions 15 suitable: iiations--The United
States, the United Kinjedom, . Canada, Australia. New Zea
land, Union of South Africa-Ireland, France, Belgium, Hoi
land, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway. Sweden and Finland.
That Mr. Streit 's idea has caught on, is evidenced by
the fact that his book is now in its eighth edition. From an
other quarter comes a similar proposal; a clergyman member
of the British House of f Commons, Sorensen by name,
broached the question of proposing a federation of nations
and -a world parliament in that oody and was lniormea oy
an undersecretary that circumstances "are not propitious.
Nevertheless the idea is crooning out again as it did in
1Q1Q Whir alimlsl it amarcra nmar? TVf answer is not hard to
find; it is that the world is wobbling on the brink of another
catastrophe. And therein aopears also the principal objec
tion. Short of grave peril, the nations would never consider
such a proposal, involving the surrender of important na
tional prerogatives. There are boundaries, even between
friendly states, of race, lanmage, religion and national pride,
more formidable than the Magmot line.
It is true that the political subdivisions of the United
States do not even think of making war upon each other
but the same is true of the United States and Canada, and
the reason is that of these barriers just enumerated, only
that of national pride exists, and even that one is modified
by a sense or common origin. Contrast this situation with
the one to our south. Mexicans had to be restrained from
attacking the plane which brought home the body of their
aviation hero, the rumor having been spread that he had
been killed by "grimro" sabotage. Educated Mexicans under
stand us, perhaps better than we understand them -but there
are not enough educated Mexicans. Though a species of de
mocracy flourishes in some Latin-American countries, it is
significant that Streit ha not nominated any of them for
his proposed federation. But the. same difficulties evident
there, apply to some of the nations he did enumerate, to a
lesser extent.
It is not intelligent to say "no" dogmatically to the Streit
idea, now and for all time, nor to say with former Governor
Martin, "Well have war until all the people of the world
are on the same moral, cultural and economic level. That
will come when Gabriel blows his horn. General Martin
merely approximates the answer, by striking at the funda
mentals of the problem. Sometime .before the final trumnet
sounds, peoples 01 the world may come close enougn togeuter
in cultural and economic development that such a federation
might be feasible. But when that time comes, a federation
will not be necessary. In other words, peoole will learn to
live together in peace through understanding, not through
international legal machinery. '-y
The Hood River PUD Vote
Rural residents of Hood River county voted rather deci
aively to form a people'i utility district; the voters of Hood
River city turned it down with, equal decisiveness. This was
tne nrst fuu election Jieid nnder the isws law wmcn maae
important changes in the old
the election was little different
elections under the old law, Cities have nearly always voted
against creation of a district, rural sections with a few
exceptions have opposed. Apparently the much-debated
amendments have made no difference in attitude.
-The amendments have,

differentiation, vet it was the PUD advocates who asked
tor taxation feature. Taxation of cities could, not be pro
vided for in the same bill.
L'1 In the case of the Hood
inclusion of the city in the project, the hydroelectric com
mission estimated annual income at J194.8S7, based, upon
private utility rates- which have since been reduced. Expenses
after the first four years were estimated at 1135,142. pot
including capital expense. It
that the district, including the
prospects of success, though
to await a substantial reduction in the debt load. With the
city out, the district's prospects would not appear so favor
able.
' ; Even before the taxation
showed by their votes that they were suspicious of the claimed
advantages ot joining with rural territory in PUDs. Tbey
suspected that they would have
cost of transmission and maintenance for their rural neigh-bors-as
they do now in the Willamette valley under private
ownersiup, for rural jates nearby are the same as in Salem.
But tinder private ownership they at least do not assume any
or tne risk.
- : la recent "safety valve" letter, Herman Lafky claims!
that rate reductions by the private utilities, claimed by the
utilities commission office as its own achievement, really J
were forced bythe public ownership threat That this has
been true to some extent, no sensible person wQi deny This
is precisely the principal cause of several utility companies
present financial distress, and the stockholders and bond
holders, who are also people, believe it or not, are the ones
who suffer. This is not to say that utilities past policies and
the holding comoany racket, now sunoressed in Oresron. are
not "dead horse contributinjr
tne rate reductions nevertheless have been made and the
public welcomes them and will take them into account in
deciding whether to launch into the power business tm its
own hook. .
The words, no doubt, sounded familiar to Judge Martin
T. Manton when he heard himself sentenced to two years in
prison and to pay. a fine of f 1000 for conspiracy to corrupt
justice, but this time he was on the receiving end. For his
offense there was no excuse,, and the presiding judge, after

Halliburton's Journeys End
: For some weeks after word came that the Chinese junk
JDragon' bearing Richard Halliburton across the Pa
cific from Honjr Kong was missing and its radio silent hope
persisted that the whimsical globetrotter would "turn up
some day none the worse for wear. There were even sus
picions that he might have put in at an obscure island to
lie low for .while and later cash in on the publicity that
disappearance had created he was that kind of fellow
and his .manner of stunting was such that no one blamed
him for it; -' -i ' ytii ; a t-i$ jixi t&. '

radio sent its last message to the "President Coolidge from
a point 120a Jniles west of Midway Island. Not onlyjias
time served td confirm fear, but the report of the circum
stances just published in the United States Naval Institute
Proceedings leaves little doubt that the "Sea Dragon and
all on board were lost The "President Coolidge reported
ttat a typhoon was raging with seas running 40 feet high,
and that Dale Collins, executive officer to -whom the final
radio message was addressed;, concluded that "there is small
