Encouraging the Blocs
Indications are that it is not the lumbermen who are in
tent on securing the defeat of Senator McNary but the Port
land Oregonian. And now that the lumbermen are balking
at the program outlined and refusing to put up the campaign
coin; the Oregonian has turned to the stockmen in the effort
to secure an opponent tthe senator in the primaries. If
these fail, there is a long list of industries seeking favors
that that may be mobilized one after the other.
The claim that Mr. McNary did not work and vote and
do all that he could for a lumber tariff, is thoroughly dis
proved by the facts as revealed by many witnesses. The
charges originated with a lobbyist who thought he knew
more about Congress than the Senator. It is another instance
of lobby interference and Insolence.
The stockmen are reported about to draft their own
rate attorney as candidate for senator on the presumption
they can thereby secure government ships to haul their
products at cut rates, get railroad freight rates reduced,
navigation on the upper Columbia and tariffs on hides and
oleo.
If we are going to have candidates that will serve spe
cial interests instead of the people and degenerate from the
party system to the bloc system each intent on graft, the
more candidates the Oregonian trots out, the better. It is
the result of the new paternalism that makes government
guardian and dispenser of privilege and prosperity for the
privileged.
Hoover Economy
On February 24, on his return from his Florida fishing
trip, the President summoned the Republican leaders to the
White House and warned them to cut down appropriations,
for $50,000,000 would be the limit to which Congress could
go in voting money beyond the budget at this session with
out forcing an increase in taxes. .
On February 25, Mr. Hoover made a second appeal this
time "to the people at home" asking them to "support the
members of Congress in their cooperation with the adminis
tration to hold down these new proposals for additional ex
penditures." Last week the Senate appropriations committee report
ed a deficiency appropriation bill providing for additional
expenditures of $171,000,000, an increase from the House
bill, which carried $48,000,000 and complied with the execu
tive's wishes, of $123,000,000. Of this amount $100,000,000
was added at the request of Mr. Hoover himself, to finance
the grain speculations of his Farm Board.' , .
Therefore the first to disregard the economy program
enjoined by the President, is Mr. Hoover himself, who adds
$100,000,000 to the $50,000,000 he placed as a limit. And
the deficiency is incurred to promote an experiment in pa
ternalism revolutionary in its scope and with every historical
precedent against its success.
So the President, who enjoins economy on a construc
tive program of development that would have relieved the
unemployed, sanctions the utilization of twice as much for
grain gambling. He preaches one thing but practices another.
Dry Dearborn
At the opening of the drys' case before the House com
mittee considering prohibition, Henry Ford, as r. chief wit
ness, sent the following telegram as evidence:
The Eighteenth Amendment Is recgonlzed by the men and women of
eur country, the women especially, as the greatest force for the comfort
and prosperity of the United States. I feel sure that the sane people of
this nation will never see It repealed or dangerous modification.
Some time before Mr. Ford had stated that if prohibi
tion were abolished, he would cease manufacturing for "if
booze came back to the United States, I would not be both
ered with the problem of handling over 200,000 men and try
ing to pay the wages which the saloon would take away from
them."
Yet while mnking this statement, Mr. Ford was trans
ferring the manufacture of his tractors to his new plant in
Ireland, which does not disenjoy prohibition, and opeiflng
auto manufacturing plants in Kngland, France, Germany
and Russia, all wet countries. And these plants are func
tioning as satisfactorily as his Dearborn plant before the
adoption of the dry law.
The New York World sent one of its staff to Dearborn
to find out conditions there. He found:
That liquor Is everywhere obtainable; that larne numbers of the
boarding houses where the workers live are In reality small speakeasies
supplied by small sMIls operated In the cellar; that any workman who
wants a drink can get It in the back room of scores of coffee-pot speak
easies. The town Is dripping wet in the foreign district. Liquor is sold
In hundreds of homes and commercial establishments Uirohout the
city.
In other words, the model Ford city is just as wet as
any other place, despite efforts of federal, state and local
authorities and Mr. Ford's own army of snoopers. Thereupon
Mr. Ford, admitting the facts, declared that "giant rum
rings, finunced by New York banks were forcing liquor into
the community to discredit him."
The idea that Wall Street is financing cellar stills and
home-brewing, is as absurd as it is disinecnious. It however.
Js typical of the Ford logic, which flounders helplessly out
eide the beaten track of the machine of which he is master.
Much of the nrgument before the committee is of the
same character a blind support of theory and a blindness
to conditions, which contradict the theory. The fanatical
dry maintains his ostrich-like attitude with his head buried
in the sand of illusion despite the storm of realities sweep
ing over mm. .

"REPORTING ALL'S WELL, SIR"
Accounting on Cost
Of Siphon Demanded
Estimate Exceeded
Alderman Pur-vine, chairman of the ways and means
committee of the city council. Monday demanded that City
Engineer Rogers render an accounting as to the condition
and cost of tha Cottage street
siphon, the cost of which is being
paid from the city bridge fund.
Purvine recalled that the council
had been told that the cost would
not be In excess of $3500, and de
clared that the cost has run far
in excess of that amount.
Engineer Rogers replied that the
siphon was completed, but that he
was not prepared to say what the
cost would total. He promised to
make a financial report on the
siphon at the next meeting ot the
council. ,
Because of complaints that have
been made about the darkness of the
South Commercial street bridge Al
derman Dancy wanted to know
what had been done about lighting
the bridge. He reminded the coun
cil that the 1930 budget provides
for the illumination of the struc
ture. Alderman Wilkinson, chair
man of the lighting committee, re
plied that nothing had been done,
but that he would take the subject
up at once.
The council refused Its approval
of a bill for $253 from the Salem
general hospital for care given Clyde
Williams who was shot by a city
police officer, and also rejected a
bill for $250 from Dr. E. H. Hobson,
who was Williams' physicl an.
August Huckesteln, member
of the hospital board, insisted that
the hospital's bill should be paid as
a moral obligation, but the council
feared that it would be a costly
precedent to set.
A bill for $318 contracted by the
city park board in the purchase of
a power lawn mower was allowed in
spite: of the contention of Alder
man Olson, chal.'man of the park
committee, that the board should
consult the council before making a
purchase of that size. An amend
ment to the city charter provides
the park board may expend park!
funds without consulting the council.
City Engineer Rogers reported
that the remonstrance against the
improvement of 25th street from
State to Walker represented 57 per
cent of the property involved and
was sufficient to defeat the im
provement. A petition was received for the
improvement of Trade street from
24th to 25th. Also a petition was re
ceived for a sewer in block 30 of
Rosedale addition.

Fatted Calf Awaits
King of Crime After
Penitentiary Term
Chicago (UP) Gamrland's fatted calf figuratively
smoked on the pit for "Scarface AI" Capone, believed due
home on the Broadway Limited at 9:35 a. m. Tuesday, but
there was a gauntlet of police toft
te run belore be could ream It.
The Broadway Limited of the
Pennsylvania railroad arrived at
9:55 a. m., a squad of plice patrolled
uie union station- In search of Ca
pone, but he was not aboard.
Released from the new state prison
at Graterford, Pa., at 3:45 p. ni.
Monday after1 he had been smug
gled there from the Eastern Peni
tentiary at Philadelphia, the grand
mogul of Chicago's gangland and a
select crew of men at arms were re
ported to have boarded the Chicago
bound train an hour later a North
Philadelphia.
Although the report that Capone
and his party had boarded the train
apparently was authentic, doubt was
cast on it by later reports from
Pittsburgh that reporters failed to
find them when the train paused
there early Tuesday.
His wits served Capone in as good
stead at the windup of his 10 month
prison term for carrying a revolver
into Philadelphia as they have in
the rigorous years he has spent
making millions by beer and bullets.
It was more than four hours after
he had left the Graterford prison
and was eliciting over the rails west
ward that crowds of curious, and
newspaper reporters and photog
raphers waiting In front of the
Philadelphia prison learned he was
not there. Warden Herbert (Hard
Boiled) Smith then announced the
ruse to the jeers and boos of the
crowd.
Frankie Rio. Capone's trigger man
Friday, was released with him. Five
gangsters met the two outside the
Graterford prison walls. Supposed
ly among the quintet were Ralph
Capone, Al's brother, and Jake Gu-
zik, his chief lieutenant In the beer
and alcohol rackets.
That coterie presumably still were
aboard the Broadway as it neared
Chicago. It was due to slide into
the Englewood station at 9:35 a.m..
but advance predictions were that
Capone and his crew would detrain
at some station outside the city and
complete the Journey by automobile.
AH night long and on into the
day squads of police had patrolled
the blocks near the Capone home on
South Prairie avenue. Fifteen po
licemen kept vigil at the municipal
airport after an early report that
"Scarface' would come home In a
big tri-motored Ford plane.
The police had orders to arrest
the gaug lord and bis men if any
was armed.
From within the tidy red brick
home where Capone's aged mother,
his sister and a youngzr brother
live, came sounds of activity. Two
18-pound turkeys were delivered by
a butcher boy. That meant there
was -to be a feast of the Capone
clan, police conjectured, although
members of the family had nothing
to say as to that.
Familiar news was awaiting Ca
pone's ear In his homeland haunts.
Another victim went for "a ride
Monday night. He died in the ap
proved gangland manner with 11
bullet holes In his bead and body.
The victim was Peter Blca, a
graduate of thf University of Rome,
who became involved in his adopt
ed land in the alcohol cooking trade,
police declared.
That assassination, believed an
other phase of a bitter north side
gang war for control of the "alky"
racket, followed closely discovery of
the body of John (Biniken) Rito in
the Chicago river. He, too, had gone
for a gangland 4ride" but the mur
derers had sought to conceal his
passing by weighting his body with
rocks and sinking it in the river.
