First American Roads
A bulletin issued by the
ington on recent explorations in the jungle covered regions
of Yucatan, formerly the site of Mayan civiliation, reveals
that in addition to cities, temples, and pyramids erected, the
-long forgotten Mayas constructed an elaborate system of
paved highways to connect the cities and inland lakes they
bordered. These- roadbeds, though hidden by jungle, still
exist in fair condition. One of these connected Yoxana and
Cobe, a distance of 62.5 miles.
In width these roads are from 30 to 34 feet ; in height to
which they are built up above the surface terrain, they vary
from 2 to 8 feet. The ancient engineers began by digging
down to hardpan, which is near the surface and erecting re
taining walls on either side to the desired height, of large,
roughly faced limestone, set in cement mortar. Into the
space between the walls, a layer of heavy boulders were care
fully laid, and the space between filled with smaller stones,
hammered into position.
On top of this layer other courses followed, each of suc
cessively smaller boulders and stones, carefully placed, until
the road had been brought to the required height, whereupon
a layer of finely broken rock was added. After this was
hammered or rolled into a hard level surface, a final coat of
dazzling white mortar cement made of lime and sifted white
clay was applied.
The modern Indian name for the ancient stone roads of
Yucatan is sacbe, which means literally "white road" and
they must have been literally great white ways comparable
to our own. In the Coba region there are 16 of these raised
roads terminating in the ruins about the chain of lakes. Why
they were built remains a mystery, for the Mayas had no
beasts of burden, nor wheeled vehicles. Evidently they were
built for travellers afoot and palanquin and burden bearers.
They testify to the advanced civilization of the Mayas for
savage man builds no roads the hunter's trail answers all
purposes. The highway construction methods of the Mayas
of the 4th century were not unlike our own save that ma
chinery was unknown.
Inflationists Defiant
The speech of Secretary Wallace, said to represent the
.. administration views on inflation, is regarded by inflation
ists as a defiance of their program to which a majority of
both houses of congress are committed. The president's plan
is to await the outcome of the recovery program already
underway before proceeding further in inflation which he
holds in reserve as a last resort.
The gist of Wallace's pronouncement is that inflation
has gone far enough for the time being and that the country
must find its immcdiato salvation in increased payrolls and
decreased farm production and an expansion of foreign mar
kets. Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, leader of the inflation
bloc declares:
Some o us last winter thought a 60 cent dollar would do the trick.
We've got it but it is not enough. A 50 cent dollnr may serve the pur
pose. We may have to go to 40 cents and should not hesitate to do so.
The inflation fight will continue. You may depend on that.
Roosevelt seeks a controlled inflation, but if the infla
tion plan for a 40 cent dollar doesn't work, there will be noth
ing to prevent a 20 cent dollar, then a 10 cent dollar, then a
one cent dollar as in Germany and other countries where in
flation ran riot only to end in complete collapse. It is to
prevent such a debacle that the president is striving.
What the inflationists are really after seems to be
greenbacks printing press money with an initial issue of
$3 billions for public works, then probably $ 2 billions more
for soldiers' bonus.
Found A Leader
In response to the Medford Mail Tribune's call for a real
leader to guide Oregon out of the slough of despond and into
the vale of prosperity, C. W. Cady of Route 6, Salem, has
modestly volunteered for the job, announcing that he "in
tends to run for governor this coming election, on the demo
cratic ticket." He states :
I am of the people, for tho people, and must be elected by the people.
I am not running for the honor of the office. I am connected In no way
with any political group. If I am elected to the office I will go with no
obligation nor promise to fulfill. But I do promise the people a safe,
sane and sensible administration.
Mr. Cady further promises that within 48 hours after
taking the office, the "cost of operating the state of Oregon
will be reduced 60 percent or more. Every man in the state
who wants work will be given an opportunity at a living
wage." Abandoned farms will be "reinhabited". And in
running for office, he will spend no money, nor will he fill the
state offices with "Old Guards."
Mr. Cady is not specific in details miraclo men don't
have to be. It's all done by waving a magic wand and the
votes of the people. But we are glad to see Marion county
come to bat again with a real leader (he says so himself) to
save the state Portland has monopolized the salvation busi
ness long enough.
The moral if there is one is that every emergency de
velopes its man of the hour, and that as long as we have s,elf
startcrs, we shall not lack saviors and as long as we have the
Oregon system, we shall not lack self-starters. And Mr.
Cady has the advantage of being first in tho whiz-banging
field of political tin Lizzies.

VAN DER LUBBE
CRIPPLES CAUSE
OF PROSECUTION
Leipzig. Germany, Sept. 21 (IrV
Marlnus Van der Lubbe, one of five
men put on trial before the supreme
court today charged with burning
the relchstag building, crippled the
prosecution strategy by denying
from the witness stand that he was
a communist.
It is the prosecution case that
communists burned the building,
and Van der Lubbe's co-defendants
are known communists.
"Are you a communist?" presiding
Judge Buenger asked the 24 year
old Dutch stonemason.
There was a moment of silence,
van der Lubbe stared at the floor
and then mumbled:
"No."
"What are you then?" asked the
judge.
There was another silence, Van
der Lubbe muttered inaudlbly. The
judge, apparently satisfied, pro
ceeded. Nazis claim they have a confes
sion from Van der Lubbe. The de
fense of the other men is that he
is not a communist and that he had
been making pro-Nazi statements
for two years. They allege Nazis
burned the building to discredit
communism and seize power.
The defendants were already In
court when the red robed judges
entered and the audience rose and
gave a Hitler salute.
Van der Lubbe had led the pro
cession of prisoners. He was hand
cuffed between a policeman and a
prison guard, and paid not the
slightest attention to his surround
ings. Next came Ernst Torgler, 40. for
years whip of tho communist party
in the relchstag. pale, ho stared
straight ahead and bit his lips.

Georg Dimltroff, 51, a writer: Wos-
sll Tancff, 38, a shoemaker, and
Rlagoi Popoff, 31, a student, all like
Torgler known communists and
abandoned to their fate by their
government.
Presiding judge read the charges
high treason and arson aaalnst
Van der Lubbe and treasonable ac
tivities against the others. The de
fendants except two Bulgarians
acknowledged they understood tho
charge, which then was read In Bul

fancy inside wire pulling is being
done by Wall Street to squelch the
senate stock market investigation.
several of the biggest men In the
street arc annoyed about what will
come out if the inquiry resumes, as
scheduled, in October. It seems that
Prosecutor Pecora has struck nay
dirt in every sense of the word.
The Wall Streeters argue that fur
ther persecution of them will cause
business disturbances. They think
it will Interfere with tho recovery
program. They may bo right about
that.
At least they have convinced four
conservative administration officials
close to Mr. Roosevelt that they are
right.
These four are now supposed to be
exerting pressure on the President
to call his dogs off.
The one thing essential to such a
maneuver is secrecy. Unfortunately,
a certain member of the senate In
vestigating committee has heard
about the matter. He knows the
names of the parties Involved. He
has the constitutional immunity ne
cessary for calling names out In
public and is threatening to do so.
one tning deters him. Chairman
Fletcher of the investigating com
mittee has summoned a meeting for
October 3. This meeting is supposed
to determine tho policy of the com
mittee as to the future of the in
quiry.
If the committee decides to pur
sue the inquiry, nothing will be said.
II It calls a halt, fur will (ly.
Progress The mere fact that the
commltteo Is going to talk policy
shows how far the Wall Streeters
have been able to get.
When the Inquiry recessed several
months ago, It announced It would
continue October 3, Pecora went to
New York to dig up evidence and
has spent tho summer at It.
Now that he has the evidence, the
commltteo is going to meet to de
termine whether It should proceed.
The truth seems to be that no one
except Mr. Roosevelt can kill the In
quiry and he will not. Pulling and
pressure sometimes work In reverse
on him.
Further public frying of Wall
Streeters may not accomplish any
constructive purpose, but It can
hardly be stopped half way. The In
vestigators have the bear by the tall
and cannot let go now. Mr. Roose
velt probably will tell the commit-

Evidence Advance hint about
Mr. Pecora'g new evidence Indicates
the last half of the show will be bet
ter than the first half, even If J. P.
Morgan and the Midget are missing.
The star may be a former bank
board chairman. It seems that he
developed some novel financing me
thods through a family corporation
he organised for financial drainage
purposes. Since his retirement he
has been receiving a stupendous an
nuity from the bank, much larger
than Samuel Insull received when he
sought solitude in Greece.
Also Richard Whitney, president
of the New York Btock Exchange,
probably will be recalled. He thought
the committee was through with
him, but It may want more details
about operations of the Exchange.
Mr. Morgan may not be disturbed
but his associates in Wall Street's
largest house will be needed. The
question of going into the Morgan
books is still hanging fire.
Then there is a new list of poli
ticians who were favored with bar
gain stocks below market prices. It
will be a bigger and better list than
any of those which have gone be
fore. At least this Is the advance no
tice which has reached those near
the top.
Market Some committee mem
bers have further big things in mind.
They want to make public the books
of specialists. That will cause a
shudder down the spine of every
market man. .
A specialist's book is the sanctum
sanctorum of the stock market. In
it are all the secrets about specific
stocks.
Publication of them would leave
Wall Streeters nothing private ex
cept their own souls and the com
mittee may take that angle up later.
Fame Senator Borah used to be
the biggest American name to Eur
opeans. Anything he said or did was
more important than the actions of
the President. His speaches were re
ported abroad more fully than they
were here. However, times have
changed.
Recently a news agency received
the following cablegram from its
European headquarters:
"Lay off Borah Interviews. Name
carries no weight any more."
Probably it is the Roosevelt influ
ence. Debts Debts are no longer re
garded as an important subject eith
er here or abroad. The inner atti
tude Is that it is futile to talk about
them now.
The coming talks with the British
representative will be just going
through the motions of diplomatic
negotiations, with pessimism on both
sides. Other nations will hang back
to see what the British do.
This administration will drop the
matter rather than take the 5 to 15
per cent payments which the British
are planning to offer.
NotesProf. Moley's magazine will
advocate a nationalist policy on the
debts and other intercational mat
ters. It may frequently conflict with
the views of State Secretary Hull.
However, there will be no direct at
tacks on Hull under present plans.
Ford people say there has been no
decline in their sales since Henry

DEPRECIATION '
OF DOLLAR TO
BALANCE TRADE
Washington, Sept. 21 (IP) The
depreciation of the American dollar
is expected by the NRA to offset
tariff Increases which otherwise
would be imposed to bring imports
Into fair competition with American
goods.
Oscar B. Ryder, head of the newly
established imports division of NRA,
said today that the American Im
porter can get only 63 ognts worth
for his dollar abroad, and that the
value thus lost balances against any
likelihood of increased imports.
Apparently in anticipation of in
evitable increases in prices of goods
manufactured under NRA codes, the
recovery act itself provided machin
ery to prevent foreign products tak
ing advantage of that situation In
the American market.
Gardner L. Harding, secretary of
the national foreign trade council,
in Washington to confer with NRA
officials on matters of United States
imports and exports, said his organ
ization had formed an importers'
committee which divided into two
groups dealing with consumers' and
producers' goods.
The committee proposes to sub
mit a blanket code for importers and
will work out details before October
1, Harding said.
The committee is recommending
including In all codes of import pro
visions similar to those of the lum
ber code by which the code author
ity may determine minimum prices
for domestic sale, and may petition
the president for restriction of im
ports if their competition is endan
gering operation of the code.
