BETTER STUDY THIS BILL
Some of the Oregon indifference to the Mitchell bill for
the creation of a Columbia valley authority has its base, no
doubt, in the assumption that the bill relates only to the valley
of the Columbia river. That, ot course, is not tne case, rara
irranh (a) of section 1 of the bill (S.lbu) defines the "Colum
hia vnllev recion" to which the bill applies as "that portion of
the Columbia river, its tributaries, and watershed which is
within the boundaries of the United States, those portions of
the States of Oretton and Washington which are not within
such watershed, and such additional adjoining territory as
may be related to or materially allecteci oy tne aeveiopmen
r-nriMfifiupTit to this act."
ThoKR words hrimr all of Oreiron under the proposed law,
Not only are the valleys of the Willamette, the Deschutes, the
John Day and the Umatilla to name the more important
of the Columbia's tributaries in Oregon under the bill. So
also are the Klamath, the Rogue, the Siletz, the Suislaw, the
Umpqua, the Trask, the Salmon and all other coast streams

everv sort of activity connected with those rivers will become
subject to the mandate of the board that will manage the
authority.
How would those who live along those coast streams like
to have their landing docks and floats controlled by a board
with headquarters in, say, Portland? How would county courts
and irrigation districts, farmers on creeks in western Oregon
and, even, the state highway commission like it if every
stream diversion, every bridge, every structure over a stream
were subject to regulations of the authority board? Not at
all, we imagine, and yet that is a control that the Dill pro
vides. Read section 20 (a) as follows:
To Insure the Integrated and coordinated promotion of
navigation, control, and prevention of floods, safeguarding
of navigable waters, reclamation of lands, and protection
of property of the United States, no dam, appurtenant works,
sewer, dock, pier, wharf, bridge, trestle, landing pipe, build
ing, float, or other or different obstruction or polluter af
fecting navigation, the use of navigable water, flood control
and prevention, lands, or property of the United States, shall
be constructed, or operated or maintained, over, across,
along, In, or into any stream or watercourse in the Columbia
Valley region, except In accordance with such regulations
. relating to such construction, operation, and maintenance as
may be prescribed by the Corporation.
"Move Over!'
What becomes of the rights of the state when such provi
sions as those are written into federal law ?
TO FORCE BUDGET PLANNING
Though the Oregon legislature is unwilling to put a drag
on congressional spending through a constitutional limita
tion on income and inheritance tax levies it should have no
hesitation in approving another proposed amendment that
would force budget balancing. It comes before the legislature
through house joint memorial no,8. If effective it would be
impossible for congress to appropriate funds in excess of
estimated receipts unless it had provided for the excess by
new taxation.
There is distinguished testimony President Roosevelt's
on behalf of the importance of balanced budgets and there is
a noteworthy example President Roosevelt's of what can
be done in the way of spending and of running year after year
on a budget that is not balanced. The debt that the new deal
has put on the country is as serious a threat, in its way, to
America's future as the world domination aims of Japan and
Germany.
. If congress and the chief executive cannot be restrained
one way let's get them restrained in another.
Sqn& Remember
l y -
The appointment of Aubrey Wntwk to the board of higher
education is being generally praised throughout Oregon. We
join in that praise and at the same time point to the fnct that
Governor Shell's act has corrected an injustice done Mr. Wat
ek by Governor Meier. Aubrey Watzek was n member of the
board when it was first constituted in Governor's Patterson's
administration. He was entitled to re-appointment when his
term ended in 1931 both in recognition of the service he had
given and his own high qualities now recognized in this new
appointmont. However, another was nnmo,l hv r. ntnin r.i
Meier. The state is to be congratulated on securing the scrv-
ivc.-i vi hum iinu viuzuii in succession to nouen W. Kuril who
declined re-appointment.

JOZEF ELSNER STAYS
BEHIND
Jozcf Eisner awoke. He had
not been to bed. He had fallen
asleep at his desk over a letter
he had been writing. "Tch, tch."
He rubbed the sleep from his
eyes. What an old fool. He had
been asleep only a few minutes,
or so he thought. Yet ? His legs
were stiff. His back too was stiff
and his arms seemed out of Joint.
Streaks of daylight showed
through the window. It was dawn.
Eisner, what Is this .' Tch, tch.
He pulled out his watch, noted the
hour, got to his feet. Time, he
thought, to get up. But he was up.
How was that? He was a little
mixed up. It did not occur to him
that he had been asleep all night.
He looked in alarm through the
door at Frederic's room. The door
was open. He saw through a crack
that a light was burning Inside.
" Frederic!" He moved across
the room quickly. Ho pushed
Frederic's door open wide. "Fred
eric!" Frederic was dressed.
Jozet' Eisner was half laugh
ing, half apologetic. "Frederic,
look at me. I fell asleep, yes, at
my desk. It's 5 o'clock. Tch, tch,
what are you doing up so early?
Or haven't you been to bed?" His
eyes suddenly caught an open
traveling bag, fully packed, on the
bed. "Where have you been?"
"Me?"
"Tch tch."
Frederic was rummaging
through a chest, pulling out
clot lies.
"What are you doing? Am I still
asleep? Eh?"
" No, Professor; you're wide
awake. Now don't be alarmed,"
He slutted several nieces of cloth
ing into the traveling hag. "You
don't think I would leave before
1 woke you?
"- Leave?" Jozcf Eisner put his
linger to nis cum.
Frederic laughed a gay laugh
"I m taking the early coach this
morning
" Ob, you are?"
"Yes. Into the country."
"Certainly not, Frederic; cer
tainly not."
"1 must."
'- Kb? And what about Louis
I'leyel? Tch, tch-"
"You will Just tell him, Profes-
I will be in the country at
Madame Sand's chateau Cha
teau! Think of that, Professor
es. at a place called Nohant.
With her, and with Franz Liszt"
Jozcf Eisner rubbed his head
with botli hands. "Eisner; you
are not ' awake. You are still
asleep. Chateau; Tch, tch "
"Just a short holiday for a
week, at most."
"No, Frederic certainly not! It
is a fine thing, ot course, to
dream " ' I
"No dream, Professor "
" At 5 o'clock in the morning
tch, tch we all dream. I am
dreaming myself. But no more of
this dream. Wake up! Both of us!
At 10 o'clock we have an appoint
ment with Louis Pleyel he will
have contracts ! Yes, con
tracts " i
'"Very important, Professor;"
" Umm. I should say so."
" Of course. I realize It."
"It's good you do."
" Certainly. But a few days
won't matter "
Jozef Eisner held his chin up.
"They do, Frederic, when Mon
sieur Pleyel Is ready. And today
he expects us and today, Fred
eric we will be there!"
'I know, but !"
'There will be no buts no
buts!"
'Please, will you listen?"
'To holidays? No! I have no
ears for holidays! And you you,
frederlc above all people
should be ashamed "
Frederic continued to pack.
Jozef Eisner paced the room, his
hands behind his back. "Frederis,
did I say I wouldn't listen? When
did I say that? Am I so stubborn
I wouldn't listen? Jozef Eisner is
not that stubborn, believe me. I
am always willing to listen. Fred
eric, to me you can say anything.
I am not offended. Do you think
I am offended? No Frederic, be
lieve me, I am not. Tch, tch."
"An Invitation from Madame
Sand, Professor, is not just an
invitation; it's a command. How
could I refuse? If it were not for
her"
"Tch, tch. You think I don't
know? But this holiday, Frederic?
You would like to go, is that it?"
"Why not?"
"Frederic, when It's a matter as
important as Louis Pleyel and
you put one against the other"
"Who did it, Professor? You!
You say it must be this morning.
Why did you say that?"
"I said it, because I know Louis
Pleyel, and when Monsieur Pleyel
is ready "
"Let him be rcai'- then, a week
from today!"
"And this is Frederic talking?
Yes, Frederic. (Jo tomorrow -to
morrow, alter the contracts"
"Madame Sand said today!"
" And if she were to say the
sun were not to rise? Eh?"
The traveling bag was packed.
Frederic put on his great coat.
"Goodby, Professor."
Jozef Eisner followed him to the
door, then into the dark hallway.
"Frederic!"
Chopin's voice came from the
well of the stairway. "Goodby,
Professor!

Washington, D. C Tracing
back the development of the maze
of "government corporations"
the fourth arm of the govern
ment which Senators Harry F.
Byrd of Virginia and Hugh Butler
of Nebraska now seek to bring
under control with new legisla
tion shows exactly how one in
nocent little seed of an Idea for
a new federal bureau can mush
room all over the place till it be
comes the biggest financial aspl
distra In the world.
Back in Teddy Roosevelt's time
the government took over the i
Panama railroad, and ran it. It ,
was the first, and for a long time
the only government corporation. ,
Prior to World War I all gov
ernment activities were carried
on in the regular departments
headed by cabinet officers. But
in 1916 the first Federal Land
banks were chartered. They were ,
privately owned, but government ;
controlled. !
When the United States got !
dragged Into the first European
fracas, the government corpora-!
tion idea really took hold. First'
iame the war finance corporation, !
then the emergency fleet corpora-!
tion, U. S. housing corporation,
spruce production corporation and
a few others. j
All were liquidated after the
war except the Federal Land
banks and the fleet corporation,
which later became the maritime
commission. The 1920's were rela-1
tively free from this sort of stuff, !
until Herbert Hoover came along
and started the inland waterways ,
corporation which he was secre-1'
tary of commerce, and the recon
struction finance corporation
while he was president.
The depression really saw the
gov-corp Idea take held. The Na
tional Industrial Recovery act
gave President Roosevelt powers
to create new businesses. Among
his first was the commodity credit
corporation, set up to borrow
money from RFC and loan it to
farmers. Then congress expanded
