" With or withjut offense to friends or foet I skttch your world exactly as it goes." Byron Howe's Senate investigators of the forestry kit scandal declare there was no corruption involved and that, if too much was paid for the kits it was due to the haste and speed of equip ping the conservation corps and cutting red tape. Neverthe less, Mr. Howe, the president's secretary, has not enhanced his reputation, either for business shrewdness or political ability by his part in the transaction. Basil O'Connor, friend of Mr. Howe and former law part ner of Mr. Roosevelt, sent Mr. Bevier, head of a New York firm to Mr. Howe with a letter of introduction. After talk ing with Bevier, Howe sent a letter to Director Fechner of emergency conservation work, stating: It has come to my attention that toilet articles for the men of the conservation corps . . . can be purchased in the form of a kit containing more Hems and of a much higher quality, at a considerably less price than they would cost if purchased singly, or if procured through the war department. ... I have seen the inferior articles referred to, and I have seen the kits of superior articles. . . If you feel that you are in need of specinc atitnority ror taking this matter Into your own, hands, this letter win serve the purpose. As a'result of this Howe 200,000 Bevier kits at $1.40 each which the quartermaster general of the army says could have been purchased else where at 85 cents or less. Howe's defense is that the letter was not intended to influence the lotting of the contract but to give Fechner the authority and discretion, but Neither Howe nor Fechner profited by the deal, but why should the president's secretary mix with government con tractors or interfere with purchasing machinery designed to prevent lavontism and gralt ; The School School bus transportation is the main issue in non-high school districts for the June 19 election of five directors to the new non-high school district board of education. Those favoring and opposing bus transportation have each a ticket in the field, so the issue will be determined by the vote cast. A campaign of education is being waged by proponents and opponents of the bus in public meetings throughout the county. As high school districts have no voice In the decision, though attendance will be affected by it, the result Is up to the residents of the non-high school districts, which have had experience in the past and should know whether the sys tem is satisfactory, or not. The saving in bus cost taxes might be offset by higher individual costs. High school tuition and transportation costs are paid out of the same fund, raised by a tax on all the property In the school districts and parts of districts that have no high schools. Transportation costs are about a third of tuition costs. The high school districts are supposed to figure tuition charges on a cost basis, and the non-high school board should see that this is done. If the high school districts attempt a profit at the expense of the rural taxpayers, or if the non high school districts seek service at less than cost, at the expense of high school district taxpayers, there will be fric tion and dissatisfaction. Clash Over Pensions The battle waging between President Roosevelt and the senate over reductions in veterans' allowances is due to the fact that the president is trying to balance the budget and the senate to make votes. All the gigantic Roosevelt pro gram is based on preserving the credit of the government, and credit in turn, depends on balancing the budget but the senate docs not hesitate to imperil the whole structure. The four reasons given by the president for opposing the senate amendment are as follows: 1. It (the senate amendment) takes care of veterans suffering from disabilities due to their own misconduct. 2. It would apply to "peace-time" soldiers, that is, to men who were taken into the army after the armistice. 3. It places men who were in student training camps upon a war footing. 4. It would allow no discretion on the part of tho government in deal ing with cases arising under the presumptive clause, In other words the senate would pension veterans who contracted venereal or other diseases; would place men who took no part in the war on the same footing as those who fought its battles; would pension men who never joined the army at all, but drilled on a college campus; and make the rigid rules laid down by congress infallible. The president is right the senate wrong. A Full Ten measures will be on the ballot for the special elec tion of July 21 to be settled by plebiscite. They are as fol lows: 1. Repeal of the 18th nmendment. 2. The snips tax law. 3. Cessation of state bonus payment to veterans after June 30, 1038, and authorization of refunding bonus bonds. 4. Permitting managerial form of county government. 5. Authorizing accused persons to waive grand Jury Indictment and stand trial on information by district attorney. 6. Requiring two-thirds vote for bond issues and legislative restric tion of taxation. 7. Approval or rejection of $103,000 bond Issue for power survey. 8. Referendum on oleomargarine tax. 9. Referendum on state power commission law. 10. InltlnUve bill for repeal of state prohibition clauses in constitution.

Bus Issue Ballot The National Whirligig By PAUL MAJLLON Washington The boyi backstage began to get cold Xeet on the Mor gan Investigation a few days back. .Those who were chuckling at the predicament of the country's lead ing financial firm began to wag then heads doubtiuiiy. They wnm pered to each other that it would be a bad thing for the country If faith in the largest banking house was destroyed. They thought it was time to call a halt. Even Prosecutor Pccora began to talk about needing a long rest. A democratic leader dared to as sert on the floor of the senate that if we tear down our ideals we will live to regret tt. The reason for this sudden cau tion probably was the fact that cer tain liberals were then secretly at work to make the investigation stu pendous. Prime mover in the scheme was Senator Costigan. He called in an expert New York financial lawyer. Together they worked out a resolu tion expanding the scope of the in quiry. The definite objective would be to expose New York control over national money and industry. The purpose would be to write legisla tion altering our entire financial and industrial setup. The public was not aware of it but the conservatives were when they started talking about easing- up. The proposition got along so far that it was submitted to Mr. Roose velt. One of his closest advisors call ed in tho'New York attorney who was working with Costigan. They went over the matter and later tho attorney saw the president. The liberal crowd did not intend to oust Pecora. They thought he was doing a fine job. They believed he could do a better one if given $100, 000 and free subpoena access to the books of all banks, brokerage houses and corporations. Part of the plan also called for holding up the Glass bank bill. The boys believe that after they get through more legislation than the Glass bill will be needed to plug the holes. Wall street would like that part of It. A bird in the bush Is worth two In the hand like the Gloss bill. Morgan was really sorry when the investigation was over. He had a great time talking to people he never met before senators, reporters, pho tographers and policemen. He was like a man from Kansas visiting the aquarium for the first time. One dull session Morgan went over to the press table to gab with the reporters. He was obviously pleased the way the investigation was going. Someone suggested the publicity he was getting might not be so bad for him. At least it was breaking down the popular idea that he was a mysterious unseen ogre. The point was made that it was a good stunt for him to have taken that midget on his knee. "Oh-oh," said Morgan slyly. "It's time for me to leave when you men tion that." Mr. Roosevelt did everything but fumigate the capitol trying to get congress out of town last week. He was excited particularly be cause the boys were getting out from under his thumb. He realized this was the beginning of the end of blind congressional loyalty. He did not want that idea to get abroad. It might hurt business confidence if he were to be involved in the usual presidential bickerings with con gress. That is one reason why he was so anxious to compromise back stage on the various points in dis pute. Word was passed along to the boys in congress that the reason they had to adjourn was that the world economic conference was con vening Monday. That was an ab surd excuse. Nobody expects the conference to do anything for three weeks. A few days more for congress would make no difference. It might make some difference on the war debt Issue. Installments are due next Thursday.

Then appeared to be nothing more nenind this Howe toilet-kit case than some very bad manage ment and a half dozen errors of judgment No one connected with it was entitled to any bouquets but the facts were not as bad as they sound. ed. Possibly $100,000 was lost to the government because everyone was in such a hurry to get the forestry movement going. The Inefficiency was comparable to wartimes. Centralized authority was lacking. Political opponents will be able to harass the administration on the point for the next four years. The truth is that it was not near ly so inefficient as the job done on the bank openings, but the facts about that never got out. The administration's private nre- limlnary figures indicate business is holding up well beyond the sea sonal trena. The two figures they are watch ing closest are showing up well. They are department store sales and factory employment. These indicate the present and future consuming market. Production will follow these so no one pays any attention to it any more. The Indications are that retail trade maintained itself nationally the last week In May and the first week in June. Factory employment showed some increase In the larger centers. The one thing the Morgans want ed was an assurance that their com petitors would be fried the same as they were. They went back to New York believing they had such an as surance. . . Democrats and republi cans broke fairly even on the Mor gan expose. There were about the same number of men Involved from both political parties and they held about the same ranks. . , Dr. Leo Wolman, P.H.D., Columbia, will join the brain trust family to help in the industrial control administration. HU record is decidedly to the left, He was once attorney for the Amal gamated Clothing Workers. . . The man who has pushed the adminis tration along toward refinancing of the Liberty bond issues is Senator Bone of Washington. It can be done before October. Legal authorities agree the president is not required to act during legal periods but may call in the bonds any time on six months notice. That will save some money.

M'LEAN TO OPERATE NEW DAILY JOURNAL Washington, June 13 (LP Eugene Meyer, wealthy republican and formerly governor at the federal re serve board under President Hoover took control ot the Washington Post today, promising to conduct It as an Independent newspaper. Meyer was disclosed as the new owner of the Post after the courts approved Its sale at a price-of $825, 000. The Post, one of the two morning newspapers In the capital, was sold at auction on June 1 to satisfy cred itors who had thrown it into re- ceivrship. The successful bid was entered by an attorney and tho identity of the man tor v;hom he was acting had been kept secret until last night. Not even the em ployes of the Post knew the name of their new employer. Approval of the sale of the Post ended Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean's last hopes of keeping the paper in her family and she promptly an nounced she would start a new small-sized morning daily. She hoped to launch the publication about July l. Mrs. McLean's estranged husband. Edward B. McLean, was former publisher of the Post. Through months ot litigation she obtained his removal as published and sought to secure control ot the paper for ner young sons. At one time sue tried to pawn her famed Hope dia mond to raise funds. Even after her bid of $800,000 in the auction was unsuccessful, she fought in the courts to keep the pa per. When all hope passed, she declared: "I want a newspaper In our fam ily tor my two sons. I lost the Post. but we'll have another one." The projected paper will be called the Washington Enquirer and will sell for one cent. F or u Contributions to this col umn most be confined to 300 words and signed by writer. To the Editor: Quite a number of the states have awakened to the fact that an honorable old aged man or woman, who has bent' his back with toil and made the United States what it is, is justly entitled to the best consideration of any government that is worthy of the name. Wo ought to be beyond the stages of barbarism and Inhumanity, It is the duty of any government and a Juut obligation of its legislat ors to enact laws to protect and care for those who are unable to take care of themselves. Undoubt edly it la a duty of each child to assist parents if they are in a po sition to do so and the parents need help. But to pass a law that If an aged man or woman has a child, be tween Salem and the fabled Hill, the aged are told to look to them for care and protection. If child ren have not got filial love enough to assist needed parents, they are not worth the powder it would take If It's a "Jantzen" Enjoy your swim or sun basking in fashion. A Jantzen or Webfoot will give you that very desirable "moulded-fit" effect . . . more over, you'll swim better in these "skin tight" suits. A good coat of tan calls for a white suit . . . the one illustrated is the new formal. It also comes in the uplift brassiere style. Come choose now while the sea son Is still young.

But that doesn't relieve the Just government of Its full obligations to a man or woman that has labored and tolled In the country ol their birth or adoption. No child cornea Into this world voluntarily. Like Topsy we are born and had no say In the ar rangement. So the world owes every man, woman and child a liv ing, as the American Guardian says: "Work for all who can work. To each the fruits of his work; Help for all who can't work. Hell for those who won't work." There la only one way to reach Justice to those who an beyond the stages of labor. That is a fed eral act of congress. I -will take myself as an Illus tration. In 1880 I came from Scot land and settled in Otter Tall county, Minnesota, northeast of Ferham among the Indians. I was one of four men to organize the Indian territory into a township named Corliss. We then built a school house of logs, hired a young man to teach and paid him. That way we established a school. There was no other school between that and Duluth, a distance of 200 miles I grubbed, cleared and put in fertile fields 300 acres of forests, a living evidence of Industry. I was justice of the peace 40 continuous years. Left Minnesota in 1927 and came to Marion county. Oregon. Al though I am 79 I am not legally entitled to an old age pesion, al though both Minnesota and Oregon have enacted such laws. ' There are undoubtedly thousands sailing on the same craft and noth ing but a federal act will establish justice to all. The United States could take care of five hundred mil lion human beings, if the human being was given the first thought In place of the almighty dollar and property. Respectfully yours, SAM O.
