Emergencies and the Law -
The way it works out, Oregon's legislature
Is not as "deliberative" as one might wish, par
ticularly in the closing weeks after its pay has
stopped. Well, perhaps we shouldn't have
brought that up just now when the effort in
tmost parts of the state is to induce someone to
run for the legislature. But the point is that
In spite of lawmakers' occasional bursts of
speed, the process is slow; especially the pro
cess of making state laws when the legislature
meets only biennially. Congress can, in a pinch
as it did last December when three declarations
of war became necessary in as many days, toss
rules out the window and act instantly but it
doesn't unless the emergency is extreme.
Lawmaking in a democracy is slow. Emerg
encies, in times such as these, occur suddenly
and without warning. The logical answer, if
you're thinking solely of emergencies and how
to meet them, is a dictator. But if Americans
wanted a dictator they wouldn't have to fight
this war. 'Nobody has suggested that we quit
fighting. No matter how convenient in certain
exigencies, Americans don't want a dictator.
Yet when an emergency arises, someone who
has a special stake in the solution or someone
- who has strong feeling in the matter, invariably
bobs up to suggest that the duly elected ad
ministrative officials disregard the limitations
of their authority and usurp, in this particular
"good cause," the, lawmaking power. It has
happened twice within the last week.
Every right-thinking Oregon citizen agrees
it is desirable that automobiles be driven, for
the sake of tire and gasoline conservation, at a
speed no greater than 40 miles an hour. From
v national officials has come a request that state ,
governments institute such a maximum speed
limit. But the' manner in which automotive
speeds may be regulated in Oregon was estab
lished after extensive study and debate and
with great preciseness, by the 1941 legislature.
, Yet from various quarters in Oregon including
one leading newspaper came the proposal that
, the governor, or the highway commission, ig
nore that enactment and simply "declare" and
enforce 40-mile speed limit.
Next, it was suggested and by the same lead
ing newspaper, that distressed taxpayers would
be relieved if the tax commission should post-
- pone the date for payment of the state income,
tax inasmuch as it follows closely the federal
income taxpaying .date and, this year for the
last time, the property taxpaying .date. In this
case an effort was made to so distort interpre
tation of the law as to give the proposed mora
torium the appearance of legality. But it was
pretty thin.
The law, it must be conceded, ought to be
sufficiently elastic to permit of necessary ac
tion in emergencies. In these specific cases the
answer Is, first, that lawmakers are not sooth
sayers; second, that neither emergency is so
compelling as to justify the usurpation of law
making powers. Automotive speeds may be
limited by the weight of public opinion when
were they ever actually regulated otherwise?
The governor's proclamation on Wednesday, not
intended to have the force of law, will give
public opinion the maximum official support
that is legally possible. As for the income tax,
' individual taxpayers may legally be granted
relief in, worthy cases.
But in general, we'll just have to make up
our minds which is preferable; an orderly "gov
ernment of laws" or prompt, incisive, unchecked
administrative fiat. To our way of thinking, the
decision was made in 1787.
Sense in Rationing .
' When the terms of sugar rationing were first
announced, this column pointed out one fea
ture which tended to do an injustice by arbi
trarily branding as "hoarders": those families,
numerous in Oregon, which had normally pur
chased sugar by the sack; and another indi
cated feature which threatened to defeat na
tional purpose by depriving families of the ad
ditional sugar normally required, in season, for
canning. V.tvv
O. L. Price, Oregon's rationing administrator,
has just returned from a national conference of
such officials with news which bears directly
on both points. Contrary to original announce
ment, no one will be stigmatized as a "boarder"
for possession of excess sugar at the time ration
ing starts if that sugar was acquired in accord
ance with the family's normal buying habit; and
in any case there will be no penalty for such
possession. In effect, sugar in possession will
be treated as sugar purchased under rationing.
But there will be and it is deserving to em
phasizea : penalty: for t falsely reporting the
amount of sugar in possession, A r
Likewise provision will be made,! Mr. Price
announced, for obtaining additional sugar for
canning, over and above the weekly quotas. .
Families which still have ample sugar to last
them for several weeks after rationing starts,
are however warned to register at the regular
time, declaring.' the amount of sugar they have
and waiting until it is theoretically consumed
at the rationing, rate, before receiving ration
ing books. This procedure is recommended in
order to avoid complication in obtaining other
commodities later to be rationed.' ;?
It is our suspicion that eradication of the
enumerated "bugs" from the sugar rationing
program was - brought about through the in
fluence of the state administrators like Mr.
Price who carried to their national conference
the complaints from the -"grass roots." The
outcome affords reason for hope that rationing :
of other goods, as- it becomes necessary will
be administered with equal recognition of the
practical details. J

"No Favor Sways Vs; No Tear Shall Am"
from lint Statesman. March 28, 1831
In its reluctance to say the obvious, this
column neglected to commend the blind Tilla
mook veteran who has organized a guerilla force
of 1000 men, handy with firearms, ready to fight
invaders if they come. To our surprise we note
that the Coos Bay Times calls this sturdy outfit
"pathetic.'' taking the view that guerilla fight
ing has no place in modern warfare. What kind
of fighting, we ask, was it that stopped the Nips
in China, the one place where they have been
stopped? What kind of fighting was it that
slowed down Hitler's drive into Russia by har
assing his communications? What kind - of
fighting is making it tough for the army of
' occupation on Luzon? " If Tillamook county is
invaded well bet those 1000 guerillas swap
better than even.

The Medford city council has "postponed for
30 days"decision upon the installation of park
ing meters. "Better make it 30 years," suggests
the Mail Tribune. Why any city which has got
ten along without parking meters heretofore
should consider them necessary now is more
than we can see. But maybe some of Medford's
aldermen can see something that isn't apparent
to the layman.

WASHINGTON, March 25 Ex-Maestro of War
Labor Sidney Hillman qui'v slipped his resigna
tion on Donald Nelson's overcrowded desk a few
days back as the outgrowth of his peculiar inner
personal situation.
It is true, Mr. Nelson's new production campaign
has run into hazy weather be
cause it was based on new la
bo r - management committees
for each plant a setup which
was apparently misinterpreted
by both anagement and labor
to some extent, as a socializing
move rather than a war effort,
despite Mr. Nelson's protesta-
tions.
But all around Mr. Nelson's
WPB do not connect Mr. Hill
, man's dejection with this event.
As head of Nelson's labor divi
sion, Mr. Hillman might have
contributed the labor angle to
this campaign, an . 'e which revived memories
of the Murray plan for industrial councils. But
Hillman and Nel associates Imply that far
from being a resin: of bad advice Mr. Hillman's
low spirits were t' ae to the fact no one has been
asking him for any advice.
Mr. Roosevelt's special labor committee of three
AFLers and three ClO'ers has been meeting fre
quently at the White House with Mr. Hillman not
present. He was not invited, and lofty CIO circles
claim CIO President Phil Murray suggested he stay
away.
It just seems nobody loves him. AFL feels the
same way. He has been working in the middle,
between these two forces, since the days of the
original Roosevelt advisory council on national de
fense. When that ran out, he was upped to co
head of OPM with Knudsen.
Now Mr. Knudsen has. a lieutenant generalship,
but Mr. Hillman is only head of one of the six
divisions of Mr. Nelson's WPB and Nelson had
apparently forgotten bis telephone number. Even to
a less sensitive - person than Mr. Hillman, this
would seem to constitute a cold shoulder.'
Basis of government policy on inflation, rationing,
and taxes is the assumption that "everyone Is
making more money. It is becoming increasing
ly clear this premise Is false. Some people and
some corporations are mating a great deal more
money than before the war, but a great many
people and many old leading corporations are mak
ing less.
The shocking testimony showing the Jack and
Heintz company making XS per cent on an airplane
starter and throwing money away like John May
nard Keynes, helps to further the popular illusion
that war contractors are getting rich.
The biggest of them, concerns like US Steel and
General Motors are in fact getting poor. Their
earnings are down, their stock price is sharply
down from pre-December 1 days.
Others like American Locomotive and Bald
win (which earned nothing during the depression) '
are enjoying an earnings bonanza. These bonanzas
are so rich the overall figures of earnings, col
lected by the government (which are not up to
the minute in registering what has happened since
the war began) show increases and mislead gov
ernment economists into believing "everyone- is
making more money.
'; vow .' " ' . y:
Take a specific industry, the first big industry
to feel the weight of war change (but not the last)
automobiles. Certainly no one connected with
autos now is roaking more money.
There are 95,296 dealers who are now running
bowling alleys, used ear lots and what not They
and their 110,000 employes cannot be assumed to
be making more money. The thousands of tourist
trades people along the highways of the country -wul
not make more money, nor will filling station '
proprietors, tire dealers.
Vacant stores can be found in every block of.
the busiest parts of Fifth avenue and Broadway
in New York to stand witness mat the shopkeeping
class of business in non-booming communities is
not making more money. Nor are people in the
financial district "
Yet shipyards, small iron works, contractors in
boom centers, real estate speculators in some locali
ties are making tremendous profits.
- So also with people. Tanner and union labor
are- two class groups who, statistics suggest, are
getting larger Incomes. But there are no statistics
for clerks, white collar workers, including gov
ernment employes, teachers, doctor, dentists, taxi
drivers, soldiers In the army, sailors in the navy
all of whom, and many more, are getting the same
or much less salary due to taxes and prices. ' - '
To these must be added the untold, unenumerated
unemployed thrust out. of work in small . manu
facturing businesses, or those who will be thrust
out when rationing is extended as promised. "
Thus the problem of stopping inflation, of cur
tailing buying power, of tax- "excess earnings"
is- not the overall problem which the government
has assumed it to be in its initial economic war
policies, but specific problems affecting tly speci
fic cro9S of people.

Pioneer life in 1-28-42

near Vancouver, Washington:
S V s
The Oregon Historical Quar
terly for March has an article

Fourth Plain lies seven miles
northeast of Vancouver, Wash
ington. Originally a part of the
Hudson's Bay Company's farm,
it was one of the first settle
ments around Vancouver. Rich
ard Covington, a company clerk
who became a settler, built on
the Plain the house reputed to
be the oldest in the state. Young
Lieutenant Grant while sta
tioned at Fort Vancouver, was a
frequent guest there with fel
low officers, for the Covingtons

county and their house was al

The mode of living on
Fourth Plain in all the years

"In outward appearance life
on Fourth Plain went on much

- N. R. asks if she can success
fuly plant out a hothouse azalea
' given her on Valentines day.
She says it has finished bloom
ing, and frequently looks a little
wilted. c
Answer: This should be nlant-
ed out in late April 'or early
'May. Keep it well watered and'
sprinkle the foliage each day.
If possible keep it where it can
have some fresh air each day
without letting it set in a draft
When planting it choose a loca
- tion where it win not suffer,
from the direct afternoon sun in ;
summer. ..
' Most of these azaleas given as
blooming pptted plants during
the winter are hardy in this cli
mate. Occasionally we find one
which cannot stand the frost? If
one is purchasing an azalea for
a winter gift It is well to ask
the florist if it is a hardy one.
Most people, unless they are
living in apartments, prefer aza
leas they can later plant out-of-doors.
S. M. writes that all the buds
on her Christmas cactus dropped .
off, at Christmas time in spite of
good 'care and fertilization. She
'set the plant away and has giv
en it little care since and now
it is again full of buds. She won
ders if it will bloom if she gives
it good care now or if the earlier
neglect will make the buds falL
- Oddly enough, the neglect is
probably what ; brought about
the buds. Too industrious care of
the Christmas cactus makes the
buds drop. Do not over water or

sigh of relief when bustles were
no longer necessary, although,
having worn them so long, one
might feel shamefully nekkid.'
Even for Sunday most .of the
dresses were of calico, but on
washday, and on other days
when they were fairly sure of
having no company, they wore
dresses made from sacks, stain
ed a dull grey-brown with dye
made from the alder bark. Ev-,
eryday aprons were made from
gunny bags, sometimes trimmed
with a border of feather-stitching
in bright worsted, but com-'
monly just gunny sacks opened
out, cut a little smaller at the
top, and pinned securely at the
waist The only woman's vanity
was a bit of ribbon pinned about j
the throat No matter how or-
dinary her clothes or how rough
her task, nearly every woman
wore her bit of ribbon.
s
The men wore overalls and
denim shirts, winter and sum
mer. But their beards compen
sated for any monotony of cos
tume. There was every style
full beards, goatees, mustaches.
Every man considered his whis
kers his proudest adornment and
prized them accordingly. It was
a manlesa household indeed that
did not boast at least one mus
tache cup'. The young bucks, not
content with beards alone,
dressed up for Sunday with
high-heeled boots and flashy red
ties. The older men merely put
on a clean pair of overalls and
trimmed their whiskers.,
"The houses of the early set
tlers on the Plain were common
ly of logs, put together with
pegs. A few were box' houses,
made of twelve -inch boards
standing upright, with battens
over the cracks. Most of the
Vancouver houses were' of box
construction; as late as 1873,
there were only three brick
buildings in town. A man on
Sauvie Island .- built himself a
lumber house, but when its vir
tues . were ' generally applauded
he donated it as a school house.
S S '
"Fireplaces were a part of ev
ery house, both for. heating and
for cooking. In the fireplace the
women used big black iron ket
tles in which even bread, could
be baked, since the heat could
be held and distributed evenly.
When the kettles were eld, they
could be used about the yard un
til a hard frost finished them off.
"The men made all the furni
ture tables, benches, V chairs,
and beds, usually simple in style
and as stout as possible. In the
winter," however, with time to
putter, they made' fancy chairs,
bending young, " well seasoned
poles into strange shapes to
form the chair backs. Often they
left the bark on the poles and
cut it out in regular patterns for.
trimming. Rustic benches and
sofas they made the same way.
Furniture was built to last and
- last it did,' with many an. old
piece still remaining in Plain

"By and large the. homestead
ers were poor, with little, money
'for ornamenting their houses. A
story : Is told in illustration of
their poverty. 'The law required

"The. only pause from work
in the lives of the Fourth Plain
er came on Saturday nights.
Every Saturday evening at one
house or another the neighbors
began to gather. The whole fam
ily came. There were no nurse
maids on the Plain to care for
the children. So the youngsters,
however small, were fetched
along. As darkness ' fen, the
youngsters would troop upstairs

Chapter One
The right place to start the
story of the crimes at Castaway
would be far, far back, long be
fore I was born. , .
Back in the days when Wal
ter Gregg, then a young man,
dug with pick and shovel in the
bills above Castaway before it
was called Castaway.
There was bravado as well as
pride in the name Gregg gave to
his spreading acres of rolling
hills, gouged here and mere with
deep gashes, sharply cut arroyos
running to the sea. With gnarled
and spotted sycamores lining
each dry watercourse. With bold
cliffs and the tireless surf end
lessly lapping or lashing at their
cruel, rocky feet. ; ;-v..;v-;.";-u";;.?:;t.
T was a castaway, Walter ;
Gregg boasted with bitter pride.
"X never saw my father. My mo
ther died when I was a little
shaver. X came no the hard way
and after I made the money to
buy these hnis where I had
worked in the quarry, I named
my ranch Castaway Just to
show folks X was proud to re- ,
member how I started.
That, you see, back in Gregg's
early manhood is really the place
to start this story. Back where
the threads of the lives of Pau
line, Es telle, Durkee, Craven and
the rest were all distinct and
separate. . . Before greed and
envy, jealousy and revenge, had
snarled them into a tangle so
. hopeless, so desperate, that only
death wift, sudden, ugly death
could slash the web.
But I am only 22. All I know '
of those earlier years of the act
ors in the Castaway drama I
learned in one crowded, crucial
October. And even now I am not
sure that I could piece together
all of the fragments of the story,
logically and in order without
the help of the little blue diary
that Lance thinks is school-girlish
and sflly.
"Write it down," Lance urged,,
after the excitement of the tra- :
gedy had subsided, "just as
things happened. Everybody's
read in the papers about the
Castaway case. Better write it
after dance they would go
through, pausing only to mop
their faces. When a caller was
exhausted, there was a new one
ready to take his place with 'a
. brand new set of calls.
"Gay as they were, they kept
one ear cocked for the caller's
shouts. At each new and timely
quip they grinned in tired but
no less appreciative mirth. At
twelve o'clock they stopped for
supper. The ladies had an
brought their contributions
sandwiches,- pickles, cake and
they beamed proudly as the men
aplauded each cake as it was
taken from its basket Through
super the men talked crops.

"Then IT1 have to rose my di
ary." X protested, "and you think
all diaries are foolish even a
atenographer's notebook 1 where
a few lines can tell a lot and not
everybody can read It"
Writing in a diary does sotmd
quaintly Victorian, I'll admit
Telling yourself all about your
self It sounds like bangs and
bustles. But I think my little
blue diary with the red lines on
the delphinium "cover was Just
my way of whistling in the dark,
keeping my chin up when the
jobs didnt materialize.
"Write It down," Lance's eyes,
hazel-brown, keen and kind,
gave me encouragement So here

J Im Gerry Lane.' An orphan.
As I mentioned, ZZ. on my col
lege diploma it says "Geraldine."
But Geraldines should be tall
and stately, radiant blondes or
statuesque brunettes. Fm neith

rusty, reddish hair that doesn't
stay put; ; freckles'1 in the sun
shine, happiest in slacks and
sweater. So Pm Gerry.
Through college a generous
uncle helped me. Helped me, too,
in getting my first job. It seemed
so easy. So it wasnt until he died
and I started out to see the
world that I realized that the lit
tle bit of money he left me was
n't a fortune. Isnt that just the
sort of thing an impulsive, red
headed girl would do? Start out
to see the world with a few dol

hundreds of other girls in San
Francisco . must have had some
just as good. For weeks I looked
for work, my money dwindling,
alarmingly, day after day.
First, I was looking for a good
job. At last, for any kind of a
job. I answered advertisements.
X rang doorbells. I died out ap
plication blanks. Sat in waiting
rooms with other girls who
looked just as scared as I felt

I just bit my lips when I heard
them again. In my bag, worn

What did a girl do, I- asked
SByself, sitting there in the em
ployftt agency? What did she
DO, when that last limp bfll was
gone? - Perhaps I wouldn't have
been so sunk waiting there in
that drab, dull room, except that
I'd been skipping lunches lately
that left me all weak and qua
ky inside. By this time I knew
the manager. She was blunt but
sensible.
