"With or withjut offense to friends or foe Byron Needed A Leader Governor Meier says that the calling of a special ses sion of the state legislature will depend on two things: First, If It Is determined that the N. R. A. and the federal public works program "are unable to meet the unemployment situation In the state," and second. If these agencies cannot cope "successfully with the situation" the session will be called only after a revenue-raising program has been formulated that will have the united support of the press and of the people. The governor says that he is not personally advocating a sales tax though he suggested it as the only way out, and emphasized that any revenue measure designed to meet the situation adequately will have his support. It must be apparent to the governor, as it is to everyone else, that the N. K. A. and the P. W. A., while they may eventually solve the unemployment situation, cannot do so at once it takes time for national reorganization and the stale must do its share meanwhile. The governor must also realize that neither the sales tax nor any other revenue raising pro gram will have the united support of the press and people of Oregon all they can unite on is raising hell. What is needed in Oregon is a leadership that will lead courageously and fearlessly despite opposition. That is what we have in Washington and what we should have in Salem, but we do not even have a governor here to govern. If we had real leadership in the state as we have in the nation it would develop a following and the state's financial problems would be solved speedily. Instead the people and press are asked to devise their own program so the governor can follow. Ickes Not a Driver It is evicfent that no matter how capable and honest Sec retary Ickes, general administrator of the $3,200 million pub lic works program is, he is not the high-pressure organizer and driver that General Johnson of the N. R. A. is. But lit tle progress has been made by tho P. W. A., despite the necessity of speed in the national recovery. The president would have probably done better had he left General Johnson in charge of both programs, as original ly intended, for the latter had his skeleton organization per fected, using United States army engineers as keymcn, when Mr. Roosevelt ditched the plan for civilian control and placed Ickes in charge. The reason for the delay in launching the building pro gram is Ickes fear of graft and scandal. Expenditure of so much money in such a short time in so many places naturally oHmiilnrorl thfi efforts of profiteers and chiselers. Indeed the taint of scandal is almost impossible to avoid when pub lic expenditures are made so recklessly, bo icKes is uoumy cautious, but what he saves in scandal the country perhaps loses in recovery. Billions of public expenditures have been made by army engineers, with scarcely a tinge of corruption. Public funds certainly are as well safeguarded under army engineers as under politicians. And the war proved that they can cut red tape when necessary. Haste may make for waste, but haste is necessary and Johnson would have started the wheels turning long ago. . - Wall Street Reforms The New York Stock Exchange which recently an nounced rules calling for larger margin deposits and other safeguards to curb market abuses and reckless specula tion, has adopted another set of reforms which will de partmentalize the whole Wall Street business. Member houses must adopt one of four classifications commission houses, specialists, underwriters and retailers according to types of securities dealt in. The specialization will clarify the financial maze for the public, and divorce types of business which frequently sup plement each other to the detriment of the investor. More over it will make for efficiency. All houses may eventually be excluded from the exchange except commission houses for which exchanges were created. Departmentalization enables effective control of mem ber houses and is based upon the precedent of the London stock exchange where rules are enforced by strict penalties. The "new deal" has evidently hit Wall Street and the ex change is putting its house in order. If it does not go the whole way and fulfill the purpose of its organization as a market for the nation's securities instead of a gambling joint the Roosevelt administration will probably speed it along.

J SkyWriting pourteav Baltimore Sun PRICE ADVANCE DATA PREPARED FOR CONSUMERS (Copyright 1933 by United Press) Washington, Aug. 24 (LP) Figures were prepared by the administration today to tell housewives whether they are being cheated by Blue Eagle profiteers. Officials were worried over a rapid rise in retail commodity prices. They intended to issue within the next few days reports showing definitely how much retail costs have advanc ed from the lows of last winter. The figures will give comparative prices of 50 articles ranging from hairpins to handkerchiefs. The pric es will be averaged from 50 cities representing the entire nation. Also available will be information making It possible to compute with reasonable accuracy how much the increased costs may be laid to pro cessing taxes, how much to increas ed labor costs, and how much to greed on the part of the manufac turers, wholesalers and retailers. The cheaters and the "chlslers. according to information given the United Press, are becoming increas ingly active. There also have come to light many instances of "advan tage taking," which may or may not be classed as hurting the consumer. An example of the latter concerns is one of the nation's largest depart, meat stores, which leased seven enormous warehouses last winter and filled them to the roofs with materials bought at lowest possible prices. Whether these goods will be sold at old retail prices, or whether extra profits will be added remains to be seen. (Copyright. 1933. by Paul Mb .ton Washington, Aug. 24 Some very coy Republican bigwig has virtually taken over the operations of the Re. publican national committee with out letting even the insiders there know who he is. The hidden benefactor has in stalled an assistant to Chairman Everett Sanders and is footing the bills. Tho assistant is A. J. C. O'- Laughlin, ("Col" to those who know him.) His salary has been paid for five months now by the absent an gel. The natural assumption of com mittee insiders has been that no one except Mr. Hoover would be inter ested in doing anything like that. The Hoover people laugh at the yarn. They say O'Laughlln is, not a Hoover man. Also they contend O - Laughlin is getting anywhere from $100 to $250 a week which is from $100 to $350 more than Mr. Hoover could afford to pay right now. They whisper that O'Laughlln was Installed at the National committee by your old pal and ex-Postmaster General Walter Brown. No one ever accused Brown of being an angel. Behind him, the phantom with the cticck book is sup. posed to be none other than the Cherubic movie czar. Will H. Hay?. The next denial is expected to come from Hays. White his angelic tendencies are too well known to be dented, the ex planation by his friends Is that he merely represents a group. In effect, he is only the big-hearted paymas ter who collects the money from others. - It may even be such a minor detail in his life that he does not know about it yet. The matter is far more important than it sounds because Sanders has invested O 'Laughlin with routine powers. Late in March or early in April, Sanders sent a letter to Na tional committeemen and women. He outlined the National committee setup and inferentially advised any one who had business with the com mittee to consult O'Laughlln. . It is also important to the other possible 1936 candidates arising on the horizon. They include Senate Minority Leader McNary, ' House Minority Leader Snell, Ogden Mills and Congressman Wodsworth. The National committee Is sup posed to keep out of prevention cam. paign activities but seldom does. Whoever has his finger secretly In the committee pie will nave some thing to say about who gets the laurel wreath next time. - The Hoover people will have a hard time selling their denials be cause of Walter Brown's connection with the matter. Brown was so close to the former President that nothing short of an official confession from the angel himself will stop the rum ors. All politicians live in gass houses and they will throw stones. Sooner or later the master mind will be draesred into the open. Until then, the Hoover people will do what they can to dispel the idea that Palo Alto has Washington con tinuously on the long distance tele phone. Also the idea that Mr. Hoov er Is laying the groundwork for a comeback. The latest grapevine reports from Palo Alto arc that Mr. Hoover would like to pay someone $100 a week If some one will furnish the $100; that the only code he is interested in is the angler's code; that his interest in that is merely academic becauee he has not caught anything yet. Democrata Vice-President Gar ner's friends whisper that he may not be on the ticket with Mr. Roose velt in 1036. He has led them to be lieve he wants to retire. That has started some of the long- visloncd boys- to speculate on the next Roosevelt running mate. They like the chances of Interior Secre tary Ickes. The latter Is a progressive Repub lican from the mid-west. He would add just the flavor the ticket needs. Woods If Montagu Norman and Treasury Secretary Woodin met each other In the Maine woods, the results of the meeting are not yet apparent in foreign exchange. 4The dollar has been weaker lately. That is clearly due the French belief that Mr. Roosevelt will come to Inflation. Technical Currency Adviser S Pra gue would unquestionably sit in on any International currency negoti ations. Woodin knows practically nothing about that complicated subject. Sprague has been mysteriously absent from the Washington for a week. Notes When O'Laughlln Is not at the National committee he Is pub lishing the Army and Navy Journal which usually lauds the Roosevelt naval policy. The Republican insiders figure there will be a spirited contest for the next Republican nomination for President only in case Roosevelt falls. If the President succeeds 50 per cent or better, they believe It will be difficult to find some one to play the Republican martyr. In case you did not know. Repub lican funds are so low O'Laughlln could not be paid out of the regular budget. MiU City Mr. and Mrs. Robert Schroeder spent the week-end tn Lebanon with Mrs. Schroeder's par enU, Mr. and Mrs. Betts. They made tne trip especially to see Mrs Schroeder's sister from California, who is visiting In Lebanon for a short time.

GIANTS' LEAD CUT BY BRAVES (By the Associated Preu) Rapidly getting Into a position, where their six came series to be played In four days with the New York Giants a wees nence can rightfully be called "crucial," the Boston Braves today trailed the league leaders by only six and one- half games. While the Giants, together witn other teams of the National league, were being rained out for the third straight day, the Braves yesterday chalked up their fifth successive victory at the expense of the St. Louis Cardinals, winning 4 to 3. Wally Berger, 26 year old out fielder was the big noise. He blast ed out two circuit blows, his 23rd and 24th of the season and they ac counted for all of the Braves' runs. They also sent him one up on Chuck Klein in the battle tor home run honors in the National league. The washout at the polo grounds added another doubleheader to the many already on the Giants' sched ule. The Terrymen now are sched uled to play six twin bills and IB games altogether against their principal rivals during the next 12 days. The prospects for today's game were uncertain.
