" Federal Aid Fallacies
During the 1938 political campaign in Oregon one of
the favorite arguments of the "100 per cent Roosevelt" demo
crats was that federal aid would be shut off here if the voters
snubbed the "New Deal. This was usually backed up by a
declaration that republicans, if elected, could not consistently
ask for federal aid while opposing the administration. As
far as we recall, no republican took the time to answer the
latter contention. ? They may have f deemed the answer too
obvious to need expression.
Only slightly different was the tirade of Mayor La
Guardia'of New Xork Citjr when he addressed the assembled
state governors in his home city the other day, bis viewpoint
being summed up as follows:
"It these governor! think the policy of the federal admin
j titration la wrong, let them say 'We will accept no aid from
r the federal government "
As for this attitude, it needs to be pointed out that there
is a difference between opposing all federal relief programs,
and contending that some of them are wasteful and corrupt.
LaGuardia, a leader in the group of big city mayors which
has so successfully and continuously demanded large federal
grants of aid. himself declared the present relief program to
be unscientific.
It is true' that communities which refuse to stand on
their own feet to the extent possible, but run to the federal
government for every cent they can get and demand more,
are making it difficult for congress to be economical. But it
ought to be Dointed out and remembered in 1940 that the
federal spending money is not New Deal money nor Roosevelt
money. It is the people's money. On the receiving end. it is
not a benefit to the state or local officials, whether they sup
port or oppose the administration it is the people's benefit.
If there i discrimination, then there is politics in relief.
But if a state is getting more out than it outs in, that is
not necessarily politics in relief. All states so far as we know
are gettin out more than they put in. The difference is being
added to the public debt, which is still piling up it has just
passed the 40 billion mark.
Cuvler VanPatten , .
A number of useful monuments remain to memorialize
the constructive service performed in this community and in
others by Cuvler VanPatten whose career was closed Tuesday
by death which his friends had for some time known to be
imminent.
The Salem armory and the Elks temple are some of the
many local buildint's in whose construction he bad a directing
part: there are others on the campus of the University of
Oregon at Eusrene and throughout the state. There must be
a special satisfaction in the career of a builder, in the realiza
tion that his work will live after him.
More recently Mr. VanPatten's combination of business
and eneineerine capacity enabled him to achieve another dis
tinction; the businesslike and
municipal water system. His
an equally businesslike attitude

The water utility's eventual success is for the future to de
termine; assumine that it does succeed, credit for erecting
the foundation of the structure must be added to Cuyler
VanPatten's list of achievements. i
. A public-spirited man who contributed also in wavs not
connected with his vocation to Salem's development, he de
serves to have imprinted on these lasting monuments to his
career, the additional inscription "srood citizen.'
Louisiana WFA Scandal
The spectacle of a university president fleeing the coun
try, leaving behind him accusations that he eot away with
half a million dollars--though it appears he hadn't kept any
of it was a startling one, as noted in this column a few
days ago. It was startling enoucrh virtually to iecliose for the
time Louisiana's other scandal, the revelation of which it
followed, i
Now that President Smith has turned up in Canada and
headed back toward Baton Rouge, there is time to consider
what went on in the week or so preceding his disappearance.
The resignation of Governor Leche "due to ill health" was of
sufficient spot importance to attract some national attention ;
but it was still earlier that the investigation of WPA graft
charsres got under way. The investigation was started with
something of a bang, and Governor Leche resigned four days
later. ' .' . ; ., - - j
5 The allegations are that leaders in the Louisiana political
machine used WPA labor and materials on their own private
property and that WPA workers were forced, to contribute
v 5 per cent of. their pay to the state political organization.
WPA scandals have developed in a number of states but
somehow it has been possible, to date, to "localize" them as
they say in the orient of international incidents the New
Dealers have managed to keep the various regional scandals
from appearing to be part of a nationwide pattern. But they
may be short-sighted. It will be pretty bad for the New Deal
if the big blow-off on relief spending scandals comes in 1940.
United Kingdom Burins; Lumber ;
Among the, industries recently showing Ian up-trend in
this country is lumber, especially the softwoods including our
ownuougias fir and west Coast hemlock. Construction is
gaining somewhat but the boost was supplied principally by
the United Kingdom. !
i ; In May, almost one-third as much lumber was booked
,.; for shipment to British lands as for all of 1938. Defenders
of the reciDrocal trade agreement with Britain may point to

ims situation as prooi oi its etiicacy. At tne moment, indeed,
its effect may be beneficial. Present conditions however can
hardly be expected to continue indefinitely.
The truth is that Canadian mills are operatine at ca
pacity and that the United States lumber industry is getting
- the orders only when the Canadian industry is unable to fill
themvIt has not yet been demonstrated that Oregon -and
i Washington mills will eet any imooitenf ibmunes from -th
United Kingdom in competition with British; Columbia.
There comes to hand a warning to swimmers, specifically

without first ascertaining that the water is deep enough. It's

running low and if you please I
would be glad to get 50 or 100

No, said Hunt, I get it, it
