PHILOSOPHY OF THE NRA.
TN aplte of the resounding declarations of Gen.
-1 Johnson, this country Is not yet under dictator
ship, nor likely to be. Times have commanded a
change of the entire Industrial setup. The NRA
provides a method of change. After years of men
tal and moral stagnation In our economic thinking
we are all Inclined to greet ACTION with acclaim.
Enthusiasm Is vital to the success of our "peaceful
revolution", but there Is grave danger that mob
sentiment, Inflamed and unreasoning, will defeat
the very objectives for which we aim.
It Is well at this time to try to analyse and
define what we are really doing, to get at the un
derlying philosophy of NRA.
We have rejected Communism and Bolshevism
of the Russian type because class dictatorship does
not suit the traditions and Ideas of the American
people.
We have rejected the various, forms of Fascism
as practiced under dictatorships In Italy, Germany,
Poland and other countries. Those also are forms
of Class Rule, objectionable to American people.
We have said goodbye forever to the old Ameri
can doctrines of unrestricted Individualism, but we
have said to ourselves:
"Human nature being what It Is, the maximum
amount of Individual freedom must be retained.
Every citizen able and willing to work must he
provided an opportunity to make a decent living,
but we are not- willing to abandon entirely the
system which gives superior merit, superior re
wards, because out of that grows much good."
By reducing hours of labor to fit a machine
civilization and by providing living wages for the
humblest workers we are not removing the system
of business competition but seeking to elevate It
to a new and entirely humane plane. ,
No other nation has yet evolved a program so
rational, so fundamentally sound. -
But It must be understood and kept In mind
that this Is essentially a PROGRAM OF ADJUST
MENT. Neither General Johnson, nor the mystlo
Bine Eagle, nor the Brain Trust, nor Franklin D.
Roosevelt can accomplish a miraculous change. We
hare launched a reform which will require patience,
tolerance and years.
The first changes under NRA art expected to
restore 1,600,000 out of aome 14,000,000 totally or
partially unemployed to Uvea of normal security.
Tbe t billion public works program, the various
devices for relief of farmers and home owners,
the 1-0 projects will make temporary work, at
least for millions of others.
There will remain, however, tremendous prob
lems of public and private debt, mounting taxation.
There can be no doubt that the program Involves
the measured -confiscation of accumulated capital
and wealth and Its redistribution.
Industry has shown a remarkable willingness
for the experiment but Industry cannot be driven
beyond Ita capacity to earn and pay or reform
will end with collapses and disaster not only for
owners but workers.
id me new in ha cooes mere is recognised a
partnerahlp of employers and employed In all lines
of Industry. When General Johnson brandishes the
threat of "economic death" as the penalty for those
who fall to conform, he Is using extravagant words,
Individual cheaters or "chlslers" can be punished
and removed, but Industries must not be Jeopard
ised because to do so Imperils everbody.
experts aver that It la genuine economy to pause
where you are and see that each one la given as
much as he can carry out. Whole pans of sliced
peaches have been known to vanish Just while Maw
hunts up equipment for those who "want to help."
As to the various formulae for canning peaches,
we have no suggestions to make. Those are mat
ters for Miss Lowry nad Miss Skow and the mem
bers of their Forum to discuss. We merely observe
that another of the great Oregon seasons Is upon
us. Itl is not In tbe Oregon tradition to resist.
EUGENE SCHOOL FINANCES
CUBA'S DICTATOR ABDICATES
QNLT a few years ago, It was stated that the
position of General Gerardo Machado as dic
tator of Cuba was Impregnable. He controlled a
well-dlsclpltned army. He had his bands on the
radio. He had muzzled and Impoverished the na
tion's press, He was on friendly terms with the
moneyed Interests, native and foreign. His word
was law In the Island republic.
Today Gerardo Machado Is a fugitive In the
British Bahamas. Somehow, In spite of his effi
cient secret police, In spite of his policies of
terrorism and persecution, he did not quite succeed
In keeping the muzzles on the nation's press. He
did not prevent free speech. Students at the Uni
versity of Havana, editors operating In barns and
cellars succeeded In stimulating revolt.
Deprived of bloodier . weapons, the people re
sorted to boycott. Not only workers, but mer
chants and businessmen Joined the silent protest.
Boastfully the dictator defied the opinion of the
world, declined the mediation of the friendly gov
ernment of the United Stntes. Ruthlessly he or
dered the army to shoot down demonstrators. But
the army could not be fed when the people refused
to work. At last the army "struck." The end came
swiftly after thnt.
There are those who advocate dictatorships,
even for the United Slates. It may be true that
In Italy, Russia and Germany, dictatorships have
achieved some success. In Spain, Argentina, Chile,
rem. Hungary, and many other countries they have
died a-bornlng or collapsed. Nor Is It possible to
say that anywhere have they achieved happiness.
The old principle that Just government derives
"from the consent of the governed" Is attended by
many failures and disappointments, but It Is folrly
safe.
TN the statement of the Eugene school district at
A the close of the fiscal year, June 30, you will
find under the heading of assets a net of S252,
600.71 for uncollected taxes this affer deducting
for taxes deemed uncollectible, tinder the heading
of liabilities, you will find $183,778.41 for operating
warrants outstanding and additional current bills
and Interest charges bringing the total to J1S9,
0B9.87.
Thus it will be seen that If taxes could be
collected within a reasonable time, tbe Eugene
school district would be In excellent shape. The
economies of the last few years have kept opera
tions well within budgets. There have been cash
deficits but no actual over-expenditures. If taxes
could be collected, current debts could be wined
out, the normal number of teachers hired at fair pay
and without any danger of overshooting budgets.
Our levy for school purposes has been reduced
to 18.69 mills and this places us 43rd in a liBting of
52 cities in this state. Our bonded debt is still
heavy, much too heavy $386,000, with (17,000 to
be paid off before the end of 1933. Between now
and 1946, we have our heaviest payments to make.
They will reach a peak of 44,000 In 1943, But we
are meeting bond payments promptly and we have
reduced the total by $52,000 even with depression
upon us.
Is re financing of warrant and bonded debt the
answer to the present problem of maintaining a
normal school operation, saving the district's credit
and dealing fairly with teachers and children and
those who pay the tax? Such a solution has been
suggested by a number of people, but It must be
approached with great caution.
Warrants command 6 per cent Interest. Most
of the bonds command 6 per cent and up. Our
Interest charges in the last year totalled (28,887.49
(enough to hire a good many teachers). It would
be good business If all Outstanding bondB. and war
rants could be called In and financed at a lower
rate of interest.
But this paper would oppose with all vigor, any
scheme which attempted to POSTPONE regular
payments on any class jf debt No refinancing
issue should be authorized to run beyond a 10 to 12
year period and It should be required absolutely
that retirements begin AT ONCE.
It Is doubtful If some of the bonds can be called.
Some of them unfortunately were of the non-call
able type. But a careful survey of the entire
problem might be'n. Meantime, with the coopera
tion of teachers and other employes we can go
forward, paying jiartly In cashable warrants and
partly In hoard certificates of pay due (as during
the last half of last year).
Onr school district haB been well managed. It
Is highly solve it. There Is no call for frantic re
financing. We puii struggle through, as Is, If neces
sary. If reviving business revives the old fash
ioned eustom of taxpaylng we can soon be "on
easy street,"
But if wo can drive a good bargain In re-arranging
the debt load, that will help.

IN THE EDITOR'S MAIL BAG
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR
POME to think of It there Is
peaches. They have a
about
something about
way of arriving Just
this time of year when the weather aeta
good and hot. With the berry season and the
cherry season "past the height," Maw may vow
that she has had enough to do with fruit. Then,
suddenly there's peaches. In the stores and around
the market, piled up In baskets and peeking out
nf crates,
80 you begin by getting a few to slice, and
then you try m out with shortcake and a pie or
two perl.aps. And then you get to remembering
that after all there's nothing to beat a few cans
of peaches for winter nights, or a little peach
Jam to go with biscuits, In case. After all. It Isn't
such very hard work.
One of the remarkable things about peach can
ning Is how eager the whole family Is to help. Along
about the time your first pan has been stoned and
peeled, little Susie encamps with her dolls and
Jasper begins whetting his scout knife and young
Oswald dangles from some nearby shelf. Trained
BEHIND OR IN FRONT? WELL
TT was bound to come aooner or later, It has
come. Our good friend Rev. Frank S. Bcistel
addresses to us an appeal for some relief from
the various prevailing references to Eugene's "park
behind the butte". For as Mr. Belstel observes
with good reason, the park may be named officially
"Riverside park", but there are so many "riverside
parks" (of divers sorts). Always and always one
finds our Riverside park attended by the explana
tion that It Is behind the butte" or "on the other
side cf the butte" or "adjacent to the butte".
Why not the park '.'In front of the butte"? Af
ter all, Isn't ft more In front of than behind our
best known butte (Skinner's)? Which Ib front and
which is back of a butte? We maintain and de
clare that the said portion of land adjacent to
Sklnner'a butte which Is known and used as Eu
gene's riverside park Is really In front of the butte.
In tV.e old days when folks used to ferry across
the river to trade at Eugene Skinner's that was the
front door to the elty, beyond douht. After all it
Is on the waterfront, Is It not? That should make
It In front and not behind the butte! Unless that
would be to make Eugene the city behind the
butte! Ouch!
Truly, as Mr. Beistel Bays, the time has come
to act. We must do something about this (as
they say In the oderlforous ads). We can't go on
Indefinitely tangling our tongues to try to make
plain where one of our city's most beautiful and
most useful parks Is "at".' Mr. Belstel pleads for
suggestions. How this? Lot's re-name It Eugene
Skinner park. That would be historic. That would
do honor to the man who founded our city. Fur
thermore the tract really embracos the ground
whore Ills cubln once stood. The Eugene Skinner
park naturally should embrace the Skinner butte.
Could anybody wander far astray If wo called It
the Eugene Skinner park, for would not the alert
mind say a,t once:
"Ah, It must be In front or behind the butte!"
This Blue Eagle is a noble bird, but along about
this season McGurk says a good Oregon chicken,
fried to a crisp brown and surrounded by corn on
the cob Is a hard bird to beat in any popularity
contest.
WANTS SHORT CUT
VflAPLETON, Ore. (To the Edi
tor) All I.ane county should be
interested in the short road to the
sea from Eugene. Why do the Eu
gene merchants work with the cham
ber of commerce? We in the west
ern end of Lane county pay our
taxes in Eugene, and are for a chance
to purchase flour, feed ami groceries
there. Corvallis is nearer here than
Eugene, by taking the Monroe cut
off. Can the merchants afford to
let us tnke . this route and give us
Albany, Salera and Portland wherein
to buy the necessaries of life? Or
why not boost for the Turner creek
mtoff, only 43 miles from Eugene to
Mnpleton?
'I'hiB Is only half of I lie story. Two
railroad ci-oasing going to ' Swiss
home would ho eliminated and there
would be less than a 5 per cent grade.
This road is needed by all the state
of Oregon. With a good road, a lit
tle more than an hour will put Ma
pteton people In Eugene for core of
an injury, business or pleasure. Ac
tually make a trip over Turner
Knowlea creek and see if this- is not
true. Your engineer, Mr. Morse,
gives the length of routes. No finer
scenery can be found.
The change from Hwlsshnme-Rich
unison route to Turner creek would
mean much for our whole state. How
many .families does the Swisshomo
Richardson route benefit? See the
greater number the Turner creek
road accommodates. Put the bridges
where most convenient and let s have
a route worth while.
Yours for permanent good roads,
Thanking yon in advance,
Yours truly,
J. U. GOUDE
Mapleton, Oregon
Observing all the plans for vast power pro
jects, AJax McGurk remarks that the old warcry
of "power at no cost to the people" seems about to
be realized under the slognn of "power at any
cost to the people."
Nothing can destroy the faith of the American
people, says a statesman at Washington. Right o.
Even If freedom of the press Is token away, they
will still have the comic strips.
What do you think of the NRA. we asked Old
Timer the other day. Huh, says he, ever since
Moses wrote the Ten Commandments somebody
has been trying to put teeth in the original draft.
"NAMING THE BABY"
CUGENU, Ore. (To tbe Editor)
When a new baby comes to town
It is tne duty of the parents to find
a warm place for the little fellow
to sleep and proper food to nourish
his growth. It is almost as impor
tant to find a name for him. Of
courso If he is the first baby in the
family, at least two names are all
ready for his srrival. one of which
will fit his sex, but If he Is the sixth
heir he may have to rustle along for
weeks snd perhaps months before
the parents can take time off long
niuiign to Him a suit ii hie name for
mm. Of course he must have
iiiiine aim rno ellllilren proceed to
call mm -middy," "Snooky," "Woot
s.v," or even ".lake."
Some years ago Eugene gut s plot
of ground for a park. Whether it
was given a nnme officially or not.
I do not know, but somehow there
seems to be s lot of confusion about
naming it now. Announcements of
pirnloa to be held there designate it
in various ways "pnrk-hohind-the-butte,"
"park - on . the-other-side-of.
the-butte," "Riverview nai-k-hehinrf.
the-biitle." or just plain "behind-the-hutte."
Prepositions have their places
but it Is just too bad that they must
get mixed up with the picnics. Whv
cannot e have a proper sounding
name for onr pirk and omit the prep
ositions? Now since the election is over snd
s lot of thirsty fellows do not need
to hunt so long for their beer some
of them might keep sober long
enough to find s proper name for
our park, "liiverview" will not do,
for so many people are half asleep
most of tbe time snd they are sure
to turn up at "Riverside" snd win
der what's the matter with sll the
other people. 1'erhnps since we have
in our midst an XKA organisation
and a brand new Home l.oan bank
force, they might want to try out
their . new machinery on something
simple by nay of experiment. Why
not turn them ' loose "behind-the-hutte"?
FRANK S. BKISTEL
PROPERTY AND NRA
CIT.ENK. Ore. (To the Editor)
One of the neighbors railed the
i other night snd In the course of the
vanclng every day and rents staying
down at such a low level?"
It is indeed a problem if you stop
to think of it. Here are people, and
there are a number of them, who
have come to Eugene because they
thought it was a good place to live.
They have invested their money in
property here expecting to live on
their rentals. Taxes have stayed up,
for property owners are still bearing
practically the whole burden of taxa
tion, and rents have gone way down.
How can a person rent a house for
$15 or $U0 a month, and often furn
ished at that, pay insurauce, taxes
assessments (for we had a perfect
orgy of paving a while back Snd most
of it was "Bancrofted") and repairs
and still hnve anything to live on?
People so plated can't be blamed for
letting taxes accumulate while they
buy food.
And of course we all know what
happens when taxes aren't paid. The
school aro closed, public officials are
dismissed and public service in every
line in curtailed.
What is the answer? Can the pro
perty owners organize liko the barbers
and booBt prices? Or If not organiza
tion, can a certain "esprit de corns"
be developed that will prevent land
lords from underbidding each other to
tne disadvantage of all? Now a the
time when people are getting settled
for another year snd leases are being
drawn to take some definite action
with regard to the situation.
Very truly yours.

Help me not to forget thee again.
When I sin, forgive me, please!

I hope to find thy presence near.
If I stumble through the night.
O Lord, lead me towards the light!
When the heavens are clear, and the
birds sing,
Help me to praise thee, O King.
When rippling waters flow their
way,
Help me to remember thee alway.

under the proposed set-nn as nub-
lished In your psper a day or so sio
that no provision is made whereby
representative from within the

FARM CHARGES
FUGE.NE, Ore. (To the Editor)
It seems almost incredible that
when the Government wants to help
the farmer save bis homo from fore
closure, there are always some patrio
tic middle men who want to help
themselves first.
A firm recently sdvertised Hi per
cent government losns which looks
very nice on the surface. Any farmer
with good business sense ought to
pay out on 4 percent, in 34 years.
But here is how they make the farm
er pay. You are first encouraged to
sign up for a loan, and of course you
feel that finally Uncle Sam has got
a heart for the farmer, just like he
has for many years helped the bsnks
and other . big business. After you
mnke the application the agent who
probably has never harnessed up a
mule or followed a plow in his life,
lolls you that the fee is ($10.00) ten
dollars. You part with a good $10.00
bill and be goes out to see your place.
If it looks good to him he has the
banker come out and look at It. An
other $10.00 please, you part with
another $10.00. If the banker says
no, then good bye to your doulile
engle. $0.U0 for an hour or two of
time (not work) is pretty good wages,
Who is the next (sucker) with
Ijfliti.OO to spare. Gather In the suck

nay for the white suirt gentlemen
who are out to "help the fanner."
.lust why a smooth shaved, wedd fed
city guy shAnld have $10.00 for an

that government of the Bankers by
