"No Faror Strays Us; No Fear Shall A tee"
From First Statesman, March 28, 1851

Copyright
"Locked out" by the radio chains and under
attack from the federal department of justice,
music composers who are members of ASCAP
already are "facing the music" and a further
blitzkrieg in the Oregon legislature such as is
proposed in Sen. Coe McKenna's bill which
would make it illegal for any considerable num
ber of composers or puSlishers to band together
for the purpose of collecting royalties, seems
out of place and ill-timed.
The steps which the United States attorney
general is (taking may logically be "expected
to cure any evils which may exist in the copy
right protection system, while the ASCAP-BMI
struggle promises or threatens, depending upon
the point of view, to kill or cure that system.
In other words, the entire copyright question
as it relates to music is in a volatile state and
this is a poor time for a state legislature to
meddle especially a legislature which is just
about to start serving without pay and trying
desperately to wind up its busines as prompt
ly as possible.
There, is a certain educational value however
jln the issue which Sen. McKenna has belatedly
Sought to inject into the session. The justice
department, theatre proprietors, dance hall
managers, jute box entrepreneurs and even the
radio tycoons all concede that the laborer is
worthy of his hire, even though he be a Tin
Pan Alley laborer. Copyright, they declare,
must be protected. They object only, in typical
"yes, but" fashionjto the method.
-It will be interesting therefore, 4f the Mc
Kenna bill reaches the hearing stage, to hear
Just what substitute method these "yes, but"
people have in mind. ASCAP undeniably has
its' faults It may be demanding unreasonable
royalties, and not enough of the proceeds may
' reach 4he composer. But what is the accept
able substitute? From the tenor of the McKen
na measure, one gets the impression that each
song writer is expected to go dashing about the
country bargaining for a few cents royalty here
and there, checking up and prosecuting anyone
who has played his music for profit without
paying royalty. Even if this were possible, it
would be as costly and inconvenient to the
music producers.
If that isn't the idea, what better one do the
opponents of ASCAP have in mind? If they
have none, then one must conclude that their
real purpose is to rob the composer of his just
compensation. Obviously all this is a national
problem with which the Oregon legislature
cannot cope; but its consideration here may
shed some light on the fundamental issue and
on the motives of the contending parties.
Encirclement
No one can deny, as the Tokyo papers said,
that Japan is hemmed in, encircled, stifled by
the threatening " states of Britain, America,
Australia and Holland as represented by her
Eastern Indian possessions.
, Similarly, no one can deny that the United
States is hemmed in, encircled and stifled by
Canada, Mexico, Japan and Russia. All have
somewhat different national interests from our
selves, are motived fay a somewhat different
mode of thinking, and would undeniably like
to have the resources which we as Americans,
possess. If Japan is encircled, so are we.
i As a matter of fact, the United States feels
bound, as Japan, in the words of her foreign
minister, does, to establish "a mutual prosper
ity sphere," and that this policy is a national
conviction. America would be inclined to fall
short of the Japanese promise to make such a
sphere "firmly at any cost," but nonetheless
would like to see it created.
Encirclement, and the will to build new do
minions for "mutual prosperity" are hardly new
battle cries, either for America or for Japan,
however, and it is to be doubted that such
decrepit arguments, created out of such fustian
and cast loose on the winds of the world in the
haranguing of Japanese newspaper scribes can
have very much effect on the future of East
Asia, the United States or the world.
The intention of producing them, of course,
.is to make-them the heralds of fear among
those who would deny Japan her conquests;
and for all their ludicrous wisdom they will
have effect if, they tighten for a moment the
, nerves of the waiting people in the Indies,
Australia ! and what was once French Indo
China. Words such as these are the white
missiles of conflict which is still held in abey
ance until a riper hour.
. All one can add by way of postscript is that
nobody's taken in, and that if Japan still wants
to go south for fame and fortune, the risks are
exactly the same as they were day before yes
terday before the original little . Nipponese
found they were encircled. In some ways even
that's better than being conquered.
Bridges
' The Oregon state highway commission is
hereby granted and vested with authority, and '
' power in the name of the state of Oregon to
make and enter into agreement or agreements
with the government of the United States or
any of its agencies, with the state of Washing
ton, any county, municipality, port or other '
political subdivision of the state of Oregon,
' with any person, persons, individuals, associa-
tions, corporations, domestic or foreign, for the T
purpose of carrying out or putting into effect
. the right, power and authority granted by the
provisions of this act or by any other lw
Sec 2, HB 204, Oregon legislature.
That phrase anyi other law," remindful
somehow of HR.1776 in congress the lend
lease bill occurs in. several places in the bill
before the Oregon legislature designed td em
power the highway commission to build or buy
bridges across .the Columbia river. The au
thority granted in the section quoted above,
would appear ample, to say the least. .
The list of introducers of HB 204 Is headed
by Rep. Heisler of The Dalles and Rep. Lage of
Hood River, eider's constitutents, one might
deduce are interested in a new bridge across the
Columbia somewhere in the vicinity of The
Dalles or between there and the Deschutes river
mouth. Some of Rep. Lage'a constituents might
on the other hand, be interested in persuading
the state to take over the two privately-financed
toll bridges; the Bridge of the Gods and
the one at Hood River.
Now it may be that the distressed entrepen
eurs of these bridges and the Rainier-Longview
span are entitled to relief. But a more urgent
circumstance is that from Hood River eastward
and then northward, there is no bridge across
the Columbia between Oregon and Washington;
there is no bridge until one crosses into Wash
ington and reaches Pasco. This is a case of 'un
warranted retardation of transportation facili
ties. It is true that the bill in the legislature would
empower the highway commission either to
build new bridges or to buy old bridges, and
heaven knows what else. But in view of the
greater urgency of new bridges, it might have
been better to grant that authority if it is
lacking now than to open the gate as widely as
this bill proposes.

Surveyor
In the hurly-burly of the legislative session,
it is sometimes difficult to give proper due to
right decisions made in other, more local
branches of government.
The legislature, however, should not steal
public attention and approval from the im
portant decision of the Marion county court, and
particularly of County Judge Hewlett, to de
mand that the county surveyor submit his fi
nancial records and those of his deputies to the
county treasurer, and in other respects conform
to statute instead of to his own caprice.
The surveyor, as state auditors . have previ
ously pointed out, has made a habit of running
his of f ice as a realm apart from the rest of the
county administration, a custom which is neith
er pleasing nor favorable to the public which
provide that official with his job. It' is entirely
in the county's best interests that greater re
sponsibility should be exacted of the surveyor
in coordinating the fiscal affairs of his depart
ment with those of the remainder of the county
offices.
News Behind
The News
By PAUL MALLON
, WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 The congressmen, who
; like business men around the country think
' the British aid plan behind this lend-lease bill is
a matter of one, three or five billion dollars at
the most, are going to get the
shock of their lives when the
lid is taken off the arrange
ments now being made. The
first phase of the program is
apt to reach the fabulous fig
ures of $10,000,000,000 to $12,
000,000,000. Only three men know the
details, Mr. Roosevelt, Mr.
Knudsen, and Mr. Morgenthau.
They are not saying anything
until after the legislation is
enacted. But the' $10,000,000,000
to $12,000,000,000 I figures are
those commonly a s e d as a
rounded total for the minimum goal! in defense
commission conferences. It explains ominously the
silent opposition of the administration to repub
lican proposals for $2,000,000,000 or $3,000,000,000
limitations. j
i
First public peep indicating extent to which the
defense directors haxe expanded their vision lies
in the statements of E. R. Stettinius, jr., head of
the priorities division. He announced last October
11 there would be plenty of aluminum to meet
the demands of the defense program. He double
vowed the statement on November 28, saying
the production of aluminum during the next two
years "appears adequate to take care of military
requirements as now estimated and present civil
ian requirements with a sufficient surplus to per
mit some increase in civilian requirements.' Then
he got sore about it on December 29. He said:"
"It is unfortunate that public anxiety over our
national defense program should be based on
shortages (aluminum) which do not exist. Creation
of such anxiety, which has no basis in fact, serves
no patriotic purpose." . .
But here on February 12 he publicly urged users
of; aluminum "to give immediate attention to the'
use of substitutes including plastics, because of
the impact of the defense program which may
make ; it impossible for them to furnish the gen
eral public with , the usual supply of aluminum
implements."
The appeal was reiterated February '14, and on
"the 17th Mrs. Roosevelt publicly' foresaw a curb
rra aluminum pans, among other things.
Mr. Stettinius will no doubt be subjected to a
certain amount of ragging over the way he has
been caught redhanded, but the simple truth Is
neither he nor anyone else here knew in Decem
ber the extent of the obligations which British
aid is going to impose on us.
Turns of the war in the Balkans and far east
have mainly caused the British to double or treble
their production plans. They now see the neces
sity of equipping armies all . around the world
with planes, tanks and munitions. Their spy data
claims , German production is today running at '
the rate or $12,000,000,000 a year, an unbelievable
figure, and they intend to meet it if they can with
our backing. .-
" Mr. Roosevelt is likely to send to congress an
. Immediate request for an appropriation as soon
as the bill is passed. First large order is supposed
to cover about $2,000,000,000 for planes. ; w
. In view of these factors administration defense :
planners are becoming increasingly impatient with
business men who are resisting plant expansions
er accumulation of raw materials on the ground
, these are unnecessary. Shortages, of' aluminum,
magnesium, and zinc are at hand,. as Mr. Stet-.
tinius has said. Next will come nickel and brass, '
two lines in which the pinch is just beginning to
be noticeable. Our stock! of copper, tin and rub-1
: ber will only prove sufficient if Imports are kept
apace of the program.
Meanwhile the ultimate of planned plant ex-
'pansions , wQ undoubtedly hava to be carried "
through. At least the administration will start a
drive to force them through. 'L. . "

Jason Lee is entitled 2-20-41
to be called the father

(Concluding from yesterday:)
Lee told Cushing: "The greater
portion of those attached to the
Methodist mission are farmers,
mechanics, teachers, and physi
cians. The exclusive object of
the mission is the benefit of the
Indian tribes west of the Rocky
mountains. But to acocmplish
this object, it is found necessary
to cultivate the soil, erect dwel
ling houses and school houses,
build mills, and in fact introduce
all the necessaries and helps of
a civilized colony; and this more
especially, as one of' the princi
pal means relied upon for the
improvement of the natives is
the establishment of extensive
manual labor schools for Indian
children and youth.
"It is believed that, if the
Government of the United States
takes such measures, in respect
to this territory, as will; secure
the rights of the settlers, most
of those who are now attached
to the 1 mission will remain as
permanent settlers in the coun

Your Federal
Income Tax
BAD DEBTS YEAR IN
WHICH DEDUCTIBLE
To be allowed as a deduction
from gross income, a bad debt
must have been determined by
the taxpayer to be worthless
within the taxable year for which
it is claimed and, where books
are kept, it also must have been
charged off within the same year.
The necessity for this provision
is obvious. If a debt could be de
ducted without the requirement
that it be charged off the taxpay
ers' books, the certainty of its
worthlessness would be open to
question. Neither the taxpayer,
nor the government could be cer
tain that a debt would not be
claimed more than once.
- If a bad debt were allowed as
a deduction without regard to the
year when it becomes worthless,
such charges could be accumu
lated to be deducted in a year
when there was a large income.
The burden is upon the tax
payer to show that a debt claimed
as a deduction was without value
during the taxable year. A state
ment should be attached to the
return showing the propriety of
any deduction for bad debts. If
in the exercise of sound business
judgment a taxpayer concludes,
after making every . . reasonable
effort to determine whether
there is likelihood of recovery,
that the debt is of no value, de
duction for such debt is allow
able. Court action as proof that
the debt Is worthless is not es
sential. .
: It is optional with the taxpay
er, in a year prior to that in
which a debt becomes wholly
worthless, to take a deduction for
partial loss if partial worthlesW
ness occurs. - , .;.
' The provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code with respect to
bad-debt and partial : bad-debt
deductions are not applicable to
a taxpayer, other than a bank! aa
defined ; by the act, where ' the
debt is evidenced by, bonds, de
bentures, notes, or certificates, or
other evidences of indebtedness,
issued by - any corporation (in
cluding those issued by a gov
ernment or political subdivision
thereof) with interest coupons or
ia registered form. .
longer need their services. Hence
it may be safely assumed that
ours, in connection with the oth
er settlers already there, is the
commencement of a permanent
settlement of the country. In
view of this, it will be readily
seen that we need two things
at the hands of the Government,
for our protection and prosperity.
"First. We need a guarantee
from the Government that the
possession of the land we take
up, and the improvements we
make upon it, will be secured
to us. These settlements will
greatly increase the value of the
G o v e r n m ent domain in that
country, should the Indian title
ever be extinguished. And we
cannot but expect, therefore,
that those who have been pio
neers in this arduous work will
be liberally dealt with in this
matter.
"Secondly. We need the au
thoritory end protection of the
Government and laws of the
United States, to regulate the
intercourse of the settlers with
each other, to protect them
against the peculations and ag
gressions of the Indians, and
to protect the Indians against
the aggressions of the white sett
lers. V
"To secure these objects, it is
not supposed that much of a
MILITARY force will be neces
sary. If a suitable person should
be sent out as a civil magistrate
and governor of the territory,
the settlers would sustain his
authority.
"In proof of this, it is only
necessary to say that almost all
the settlers of the Willamette
valley have signed a memorial
to Congress, praying that body
to extend the United States
Government over the territory.
"It Is especially desirable that
the introduction of ardent spirits
into the country should be pre
vented. These, as all know, are
ruinous to the white man and
the Indian. The temperance
movement in the settlement you
are already apprized of. NOW,
the settlers do not desire the
importation or manufacture of
spirits; and if the mercenary and
evil minded are prevented from
introducing them, the natives
and the immigrants will be saved
from this desolating scourge.
"You are aware, air, that there
is no law in that country to
PROTECT or CONTROL Ameri
, can citizens. And to whom M1
we look, to whom CAN we look
for the establishment of whole
some laws to regulate our infant
but rising settlements, but to
, the Congress of our own be
loved country.
"The country" will be settled,
and that speedily, from some
quarter; and it depends very,
much upon the speedy action
, of Congress what that popula
tion shall be, and what shall be
the fate of the Indiaan tribes
in that territory. It may be
thought that Oregon la of little
- importance; but, rely upon it,
there is the germ of a great
state.
-- "We are resolved to do what
i we can to benefit the country;
- but, we are constrained to throw
ourselves upon you for protec
tion. I am. air, with great re-
' spect, yours truly, JASON LEE."
Says the Brosnan book furth
er on this subject: "In order
r to round out this story of Ore-
- gon's determination to become a
' part of the United States, a
; brief account tell of the Ore
gon memorial ' to Congress, the
David Leslie petition of 1939.
"During the autumn of 1939,
while Lee was concluding his
. . . missionary tours (when he
showed himself the greatest
missionary collector of money
for American missions up to his
day), David Leslie, acting in
Lee's place in Oregon, placed
in the hands of Thomas J. Farn
ham Oregon's second memorial
(to Congress.)
"W
"In this document loyal 'Amer
icans pleaded for termination of
British and Hudson's Bay com
, pany's control over Oregon and
lauded the economic possibilities
and general attractions of the
land of their adoption." Farnham
carried this document to Wash
ington. It was presented to the
United States by that stalwart
friend of Oregon, U. S. Senator
Lewis F. Linn."
Of Caleb Cushing's Congres
sional Report, containing Lee's
pleas, 10,000 copies were printed.
It was one of the great influ
ences in getting the gigantic
covered wagon immigration to
the Oregoon Country under way.

Lee called the first meeting look

The reader knows that, eight
days later, Feb. 15, 1841, Ewing
Young died, leaving the largest
private property holdings by an
Americaan in Oregon; that Lee
preached Young's funeral ser
mon on Feb. 17, and, at its
close, asked the audience to tar
ry and consider the organization
of a provisional government, so
that the estate might be ad
ministered. This was done, and an ad
journment was taken until the "

Appleseed, was he a real per
son or is this just a name at
tached to a type of gardener?
. - Johnny Appleseed was very
real. Re was born in Boston In
1773 and died in X847. His name,
however, was not appleseed but
Jonathan Chapman. He received
the "Appleseed" name because
he sowed apple seeds in the
wilds of Ohio and Indiana be
tween 1801 and 1847. He lived
to see many of his trees bear
fruit over a territory of 100.000
miles. In some books he is listed
as John Chapman, but he is
more widely .listed as Johnny

"Heil mein ! His last word
was ind Lst ingi i isa able, i
It wasj Kloffer turn to stare;
then he smiled faintly and s4id
Would jyou bring in my luggage?-
"At once," replied the com
missionaire grinning. V
When he hadl dined, Kloffer
went tol the revolving doors
leading jonto the street and
looked out. It was a fine night.
"I thinks I will go for a walk,"
he said to the hall porter.
After strolling if or about twen
ty minutes, Kloffer found him
self neaf tall, iron gates at the
side of vhich was a board an
nouncing that beyond them was
the Musee de la -Ville in a small
Park. - - j j
"Can ou tell me," he asked
a policeman, "if the museum is
open? 1 see there are still lights
in the windows.
"Untilj ten-thirty," nodded the
officer, j j I '
Kloffer thanked himj pushed
open thai iron gates, and walked
up the aandy cjrive. As he went
o n, the policeman suddenly
thought:!' That's j queer, jl could
swear that man) asked me the
self-same Question . about a
month ago. He fchook his head,
might be mistaken. But he was
not. !
Siegfrjed had 'visited . this mu
seum no less than three times
before at this hour and each
time he 'had seen nothing of its
exhibits: He mace his way dtfwh
the hall to a small flight of
stairs leading downwards above
which was painted the one word:
"Herren,"
When j he reached the lava
tories he satisfied himself thai
there was no one else there
with him. Listening for a few
moments, to be sure nobody had
followed; him downstairs, he
gently opened a window.', He
climbed out of this, standing on
a wash stand to do so. It was not
a very i dignified exit but the
Gestapo had a long arm and Its
agents operated hot in Germany
alone. I
Outside, Kloffer fotiod him
self on a narrow, gravel path
bordered on each side by high
laurel hedges. Walking so as to
make as little noise as possible,,
he reached a familiar gap in the
hedge and eased thry.igh. Climb
ing ovef a lowlron raiSng. he
was aa the grounds of the VOl
SchulS. j , i ' , 1 j
Siegfried circled the house un
til he stood at the door to the
kitchen quarters. He pulled I a
bell-rope. Presently a little panel
In the door was drawn back and
a man's face appeared dimly.'
-Who is there?" asked a voice.
"I would see the master of the
house," ? replied Kloffer;.
The Baron is away," ,the man
informed him. I - :
"No, Bo, my friend. I would
see the inaster of the master oi
the house" ;-, f ii
.What have you to sell?" asked
the man behind the door, hit
voice changing I suddenly . to j s
lower, tone. ' j J
"I sell that which cannot b
bought replied Kloffer. '
