"With or without offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron Ending " Upton Sinclair, former socialist crusader, won the dem ocratic nomination by a landslide in California because he promised the most and outlined a program to attempt its at tainment. He would have won the republican nomination had he filed as a republican. His slogan of "End Poverty in California," and his "Epic" program taken from its initials, had an irresistible appeal to the emotional rank and file dis satisfied with depression results. Had times continued prosperous, Sinclair's appeal would have been as unheeded as in the past. If Sinclair can abolish poverty, he will have done more than anyone in the history of humanity, which is replete with visionary Utopian endeavors toward the same end. Jesus said "the poor ye have always with you" and we always have had and probably always will have, such are the inequalities of human nature. In the effort to abolish poverty, the ancient Isrealites after the exodus, established the Sabbatical year for cancel ing debts, freeing slaves and turning over produce to the poor, as set forth in the Old Testament: At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. And this Is the manner of the release: Eveiy creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbor shall release it; he shall not exact It of his neighbor, or of his brother, because It is called the Lord's release. And six years thou shalt sow they land and shalt gather the fruits thereof; but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still so the poor may eat. Yet even the Hebrews recognized that despite of all ef forts "the poor shall never cease out of the land." And we shall always have them for if all property was equally divid ed one day in the next few days it would be as unequally di vided as tuday. Even if personal property was abolished as in Russia, and replaced by the struggle for power, the poor remain. Sinclair will have no more success in abolishing poverty than that other distinguished Californian, Herbert Hoover had, who also promised it, in his effort to put a chicken in every pot. New Deals Universal Those who figure that the Roosevelt new deal is an in novation have made but a superficial study of the subject. In social legislation the United States has long lagged behind other countries and these, as well as other features of the Roosevelt policy arc borrowed from abroad. Most European countries have had unemployed insurance and old age pen sions for decades even conservative Britain, And govern ment participation in business to the jobless. If the United States went off the gold standard, it was not until all except a few other nations had preceded it. If we revalued the dollar downwards, it was not until Franco, Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Scandinavian countries had set the example by devaluing their currencies. Even regulation of security exchanges is an old story. Canada is frequently cited as an instance of a nation fighting it out valiantly on the lines of rugged individualism, but Canada has practiced many of the new deal devices. Canada has in some respects even gone further, as summarized: Canada has Its securities act and has printed $40,000,000 of new paper money without metal security; has gone into the buying of silver; has experimented with a variety of forms of farm relief, and even into mar keting along AAA lines: has a centralized banking system; has schemes closely resembling the NRA for control of industry and elimination of destructive comptlltion; is moving destitute families from drought strick en regions of Alberta; had concentration of jobless men for road and forest work long before our CCC, and Us premier lias been denounced as a socialist. Nearly all nations have had a new deal of their own, in spirit if not in name, many of them much more drastic and undemocratic than that of Roosevelt, necessitated in the ef fort to prevent social and economic collapse that has its roots in the world war. Looking to Northwest As a result of the drought many residents of the middle west are reported as looking to the northwest as the "land of promise" and contemplating moving to escape both the cold and heat as well as crop failure. Many of those desir ing change are in too severe financial straits to realize their objective in the near future, but ninny are in good financial condition and it Is to these that our chambers of commerce should appeal to attract desirable immigrants. A concerted drive to this end should be undertaken. Numerous requests for information are being received and they come not only from farmers but from professional and business men who want only an even tempered climate to re Side in. The Willamette valley, with its diversity of resources, its equitable climate, its comparilively sparse population and its large area of fertile lauds, its scenic beauty, its fine high ways and schools and its well improved cities, should have a great appeal to settlers of this class. Those who will merely increase the ranks of the jobless, had better stay where they nre for we have too many of .them as it is. But the effort should be made to attract those with means enough to establish themselves and aid in de velopment of resources.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Aug. 30 The rail roads may have lost a lot of busi ness, but certainly not any of their old monxey ousi- WwPy ncss. rncy suu know how to lay an inside rail on a political curve. The delicate way they have been railing the new deal for needed relief lately would rln nrtiriti: ewp.n to the genius of an w-'&iiL dies public rela 1'AUL MALLON tions lor the D&sE of them.) You only hnve to go back a couple of weeks to the time when the roads felt they were down to their lost spike. Their executives had been tipped privately that New Deal Coordinator Eastman was out to coordinate theua Into government ownership. They were scared stiff. afraid to move. And when the government ram med a financially responsible pen sion system down their throats, they only gulped a few times meekly. It was months before they accumulated gumption enough to file suit against the pension act in court. Cross -Tie Pear of stirring up the new dealers also delayed for months any effort to get Increased freight rates. But a few days after the pen sion suit was filed, the roads ap plied to the ICC for a flat ten per cent freight rate boost. They know well the ICC will not give It to them. In fact, there have been leaks from the ICC Indicating that a majority of the commissioners is dead set against any increase whatsoever. The bold application In the face of that situation was, how ever, only preliminary to the really striking bit of strategy. It could not have been a mere co incidence that, a few days later, the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad announced that "in common with other railroads" It woild have to begin firing some rtmi because costs of operation have been going up. That gentle hint will have the same effect on the new dealers as if a cross-tie had been dropped on President Roosevelt's foot. It simply means: "No Increased rates; no work." Hint The general supposition among those in the know here Is tho-t the roads lately have found out government ownership is no longer a live possibility. Where they found it out, no one knows. Perhaps they read Prof. Moley's magazine "To- Day." If they do. they saw a very pointed editorial in it about ten days ago. This editorial by Mr. Roosevelt's nest acmser said that the new deal had not done right by the railroads; that there should be less talk of gov ernment ownership; that the pension acc was too nascny conceived; tnat a helping hand should now be lent. Simultaneously, the boys at the palitical switches here began to hear rumors that Mr. Eastman might resign. These rumors are not ac credited, chiefly because Mr. East man knows more about the railroads than the railroads do and the new deal cannot afford to let him go. Nevertheless, it all dovetails into the main hidden point that a change in policy toward the railroads is at hand. That change is being forced by as beautiful a series of maneuvers i on the part of the railroads as any! publicity man would ever hope to see. The change probably will not In clude increased freight rates, but It will include a reorganization of the pension system to provide ways for financing it. Also, legislation at the next session to regulate highway ana waterway competition. Sly Apparently Donnld Blchbere told the truth when he announced there were twenty-three slum clear ance projects under way. No one knew there were any more than three. It seems that the PWA has gone secretly into twenty cities and start ed shun clearance projects without letting any of the cities know about it. Tile reason Is that land must be bought. The PWA hns found out that, as soon as it announces a slum clearance project, land prices start going up. Properly owners get dizzy ideas about what their property is won n. So Mr. Ickes is working on a scheme whereby he goes Into cities ond buys up around 70 per cent of the land lie needs before making any announcement. With that much land in hand, he can condemn the rest at his own price. Notes You can safely lav a little bet that Der Puroro will shortly seem to get a new treaty of friend ship with the Vatican In advance of the Saar elections. He hopes toswlnj me uninoiie votes tnei-o around to Germany. The belief hero Is that he will fail to get the treaty. Friends of President Roosevelt's former sugar adviser, Charles Taus sig, arc congratulating him on the new Cuban treaty. It could hardly nave Deen oeucr lor his molasses company. Bernard Baruch's forthcoming au tobiography may not tell all. but he kept two stenographers busy In -re lays taking It down during his re cent European vacation. Donald nichberg's associates have advised him that If ho wants to get rid of General Johnson quietly all lie has to do is induce a large cor poration to otter tho General a big private Job. That may be done. MirSj. SMALL HOSTESS Sllverton Relatives who visited Mrs. Alico Small during the week were Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Berry and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Haines of Mill City.

TRUSTEES QUIET ON CODE ISSUES Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 30 (F) Trustees of the West Coast Lum bermen's association, meeting here yesterday, refused to make any im mediate statement when asked If lumber manufacturers had de manded enforcement or discontin uance of the lumber code on the coast. The board said no statement would be made until completion of the meeting. - It was rumored that -lumber manufacturers in the Columbia riv er area asked the board to request Washington, D. C, either to rigidly enforce the code or discontinue It in the coast region. Continuation of Ask Bar Aid From Page One may have prompted some of these seemingly unwarranted releases." "I believe that possibly the best solution of this problem is wide spread publicity. Anything bear ing upon the matter of a pardon or parole should be widely publi cized, particularly the identity of those representing the criminals seeking the extension of clemency." The press, radio and movies, which he described as "great mould era of public opinion," also have a place in efforts to suppress crime, he said. He applauded the acts of cooperation, but termed glorifica tion of desperadoes "inexplicable." "The average law enforcement of ficer Is a loyal public servant," Hoover continued. "Remove him from the blighting Influence of poll tics, pay him a decent wage, sup port him with proper kind of pub lic spirit and you will have no need for theories or projects with which to defeat crime s reign of lawless ness." Joseph B. Keenan, assistant U. S. attorney general, said complete cooperation between the federal and state governments in crime sup pression will be impossible until each state establishes a coordinator of its unrelated enforcement groups. Keenan pointed out that the duly of maintaining law and order rests primarily with the several states; that the structure of the federal government shows it was never in tended that general crime suppres sion should be the obligation of the federal government, "As long as our government re mains in its present form," he said, "as long as our constitution re mains supreme, no serious thought can profitably be directed toward the creation of any system of law enforcement which would center authority in any one focal point in our nation and extend its powers generally throughout the various states of our nation," Many problems in the war on crime, he said, can be solved neith er by the federal government nor state, either alone or in unison. These problems, he contended, are best solved through cooperation be tween the states either on a com pact or uniform law basis. "Surely," he said, "in attacking these vicious criminals, It is not too much to hope that a united army of enforcement agencies will harmoniously cooperate. There Js no room for friction or Jealousy or conflict of jurisdiction." Continuation of New Restrictions From Page one face by Hess says: "I forbid," and following are the restrictions that follow: 1 No nazi party member shall be represented hi court by a Jewish at torney. 2 No Jew may be given a letter of introduction or a recommendation by a party member to government officials or party functionaries. 3 No money will be accepted from Jews in party collections. 4 No nazi shield or symbol shall be displayed in a Jewish store. .5 No party member may be seen In public places with Jews and mem bers must avoid even private rela tionship with any kind of Jews. The order, if it were actually dis tributed, no doubt would cause sur prise In Germany, since Hess never lias assumed a leading role In the nnzi anti-semitic campaign. It was reliably reported yesterday that Hess would be named as Hit ler's deputy, to assume his offices of president and chancellor in event of his death or absence from his duties.

CREEL SENDS WIRE TO UPTON SINCLAIR San Francisco, Aug. 30 (P) George Creel, defeated candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, wired this brief telegram to the victor, Upton Sinclair: "Con gratulations on your remarkable victory." Mr. Creel could not be reached immediately for a requested state ment on whether he will support the Sinclair candidacy in November. At his headquarters, where the sending of the telegram was an nounced, a lieutenant said: "Well, the way we look at it, we'll have to do what is best for the state and best for the party. Some times it takes a lot of thought to decide what that is. Continuation of Party Realignment Prom Page One Acting Governor Merriam, serv ing out the term of the late Gov ernor James Rolph, Jr., and des cribed as a- "safe" republican, had 294,033 votes in returns from 9,306 precincts as against 203,579 for former Governor C. C. Young and 125,012 for John R. Quinn, his near est rivals. In some quarters, there was talk of the possibility of conservative democrats and antl-Merriam repub licans bolting to the support of Ray. mond L. Haight, commonwealth and progressive party candidate who drew a considerable vote in nis un successful quest of the republican nomination. Haignt Joined in re alignment proposals, urging that voters of all parties get behind his "middle of the road" policies. Sinclair insisted, however, that his program would bring the party "into line with the forward looking principles of the "new deal" and invited Elliott and other regular leaders to join in preparing a cam paign platform at the party's state convention in Sacramento. "If you would give me a chance to end poverty in California," he declared In his address at Los An geles last night, "and if I should fail to do It, life would mean noth ing to me thereafter. All that have taught all through the years would be without meaning. Believe me and stick by me and together we shall not falll" The democratic nominee declared the world Is facing a collapse of capitalism and that a new system must be found. The full extent of Sinclair's over whelming win. In which he carried his running mate, Sherman Dow ney, with him to gain the demo cratic nomination for lieutenant governor, appeared uncertain. Rube Borough, editor of the Sin clair campaign publication in Los Angeles, declared a sufficient num ber of state assemblymen were nominated to carry through legis lative approval of the "EPIC plan." He said Sinclair had endorsed more than 40 ot the 80 democrats nom inated. Only nine of the 20 state senators up tor electoin tnis year received the Sinclair endorsement, however, Borough said. The reelection of United States Senator Hiram w. Johnson, who received the nominations of four parties In the primary, appeared more than assured on the basis of increasing returns.

Continuation of Textile Strike --From Page One silk and rayon and synthetic yarn membership stand by for further orders, victory through solidarity. "Francis J. Gorman, chairman special strike committee, United Textile Workers of America." The order for the strike, the larg est numerically to confront the Roosevelt administration, was ticked out over a telegraph key set up In the headquarters over the country which in turn will transmit It to their memberships. A large group of United Textile Workers officials and officers of a number of other labor unions as sembled for the occasion. In a short address to the labor gathering, Gorman said "We have exhausted every resource In the direction of peaceful settlement." "We have been met," Gorman said, "I am sorry to say, by an arrogance on the part of the em ployers that is amazing in this day and year. "There are, we know, many em ployers who disagree with the pol icy of the cotton textile Institute almost as much as we do, but they are powerless for the present, "This telegram will call a half million workers to the strike lines. Not all of those are now employed. The stretchout, which adds to tho machine load per worker until he can bear no more, has robbed thous ands of their chance to work. But every man and woman will rally to the strike lines and the great cot ton textile industry will not move a wheel or a thread after the hour set to stop the mills. "I emphasize to you that we are striking against the management of the Industry. The cotton textile in stitute can find nothing better to say in answer to our demands than to accuse us of striking against the government. Surely the government does not own the mills. They arc privately owned mostly by big cor porations. "I know the American people will not allow these mill owners to hide their exploitation behind a cloak of governmental protection. u the mills supported the gov ernment's policy there would be no need for a strike. They have defeat ed the government's purpose in the textile Industry. "We are striking against manage ment and our purpose Is to correct the unbearable practices of man agement." Prom Charles S. Zimmermand. manager of the International Ladies Garment Workers union, came a pledge of full "moral and financial support" from 30,000 workers in the dressmakers' union local of New York City and congratulations were sislyeht- ( n I A y I LA I J ' IWINED ' received from the oil workers inter national union. "We are able to do but little busi ness in our executivo meeting," said President Thomas P. McMahon of the United Textile Workers, "be cause we were being snowed under by a Hood or telegrams from local unions reporting to us that they are standing at attention awaiting the strike call, eager to have the strug gle begin now that the die is cost, We are confident in our own strength and In the Justice of our Rev. H. R. Tebbets of Waltham, Mass., has been assigned to the pas torate ot the Salem Unitarian church, succeeding Rev. P. A. Well, who Ued about a year am. Rev. Tebbets, a single man 28 years of age nas taken an apartment at the Ambassador, 550 North Summer street. The new minister will preach his first sermon in the Sa lem church a week from next Sun day morning at 11 o'clock. This will bs Rev. Tebbets' third pastorate since his graduation from the Crane Theological school, Tufts college at Medford. Mass. During the years 1031-32 he was assistant pastor of the Waltham church and last year was minister at Reading, Mass. Rev. Tebbets has lived' in Massa chusetts virtually all of his life. He has a decided New England accent. He spent threo years at Boston uni versity undergraduate school, where in addition to his scholastic work he played varsity football. His trip to Oregon marked the first time he has been west of Chicago. "The church of today has to keen up with the changing conditions if it is to continue to function," Rev Tebbets declared. "Business meth ods should be employed in the church as well as in mercantile establishments. Our organization is recognizing this fact, and as a re sult has established a course of economics in one of our leading the ological Institutions. ' Rev. Tebbets is a firm believer in newspaper advertising in connection with church work. Continuation of Hop Festival -From Page One hop clusters and vines. As a back ground to this attractive arrange ment hop fields were visible not far away, which, with a line of poplar trees along the river made the set ting a very beautiful one. A herald, who was Willie Camp bell, carrying a trumpet, announced the approach of the royal party Just before 10:30 o'clock. The royal procession marched the full length of the field, accompanied by band music and led by the herald and eight small flower girls not over four years old, all of them carrying armsful of hops that were strewn in the path of the queen. First to enter the royal arenway was Mayor A. I. Thomas. The archway was a thing of art. It was formed of hop strands and clusters held by eight garland girls, four on each side. The mayor was fol lowed by the committee on ar rangements, eight men in blue coats and white trousers. Then came the eight princesses, dressed in green and yellow and led by Miss Beryl Kclley and Miss Babe Hudson. The crowd cheered as Queen Mar- jorie came next, dressed in royal white silk with a flowing train that was held by two wee girls in pink. The entire procession assemmea on the platform just at 10:30. Two small boys, Billie Addison and Keith Williams, bore the royal cushion to the center of the stage, and there the queen knelt to receive her crown. Mayor Thomas placed the gold dia dem on her brow. The mayor escort ed the queen to the throne chair, but not until she had expressed to the throng of spectators her appre ciation of their loyalty and their se lecting her as queen. The coronation was followed by a program of tap dancing and music, the dance numbers being given by Miss Helen Cook of Independence. The garland girls performed a drill with musical accompaniment by Miss Marjorie Wunder, violinist, and Miss Lid a Hanna, pianist. Departure of the royal procession was an nounced by the herald, and the crowd paid its tribute with applause. At 'i o'clock the Festival parade marched through the streets, and the rodeo, after the parade, will fill the remainder of the afternoon. NEW PASTOR ASSIGNED FOR UNITARIANS PLAN PUZZLER TO HOG RAISER C. J. Channer, route 1, Independ ence, who has just had a hog butchered for his own use, cannot understand some of the system used under the hog control and process ing acts and would like to find out about it. He bought a hog some time back and paid $40 for it. Since then ho has spent $40 on its feed and care, in having it butchered for his own and his family's use, he said it cost $1.50 to butcher it, 4 cents a pound for curing it and then he had to pay a notary fee of a dollar to swear to a blank that he couldn't do certain things in regard to the meat. Among other things he had to swear to on the blank was that the meat was solely for consumption b? his employes or members or nis own family. He states there are six in the family. "It means," said Mr. Channer, that if I have a guest or guests at my house I cannot serve them any of that hog meat without com mitting perjury or some other crime. I lived for 14 years in Salem, never committed a crime, never even vio lated an overtime parking ordin ance. Last year I lost 14 head or hogs from hog cholera and the gov ernment refused to accept me undei the hig control plan. Now I'm not allowed to feed a guest in my house a niece of meat from my own hog which I paid to have butchered and cured and which cost me plenty to raise. "I don't know what X can da about it but would like to know." Continuation of Fight To Finish From Page One Washington dispatches. "I am not engaging in a row with anyone," he said. "I have a job to do and I intend to do it. I will not let that work be undermined by any shoutings about irascible adminis tration or other petty attacks. "I, for one, have no political as pirations. I am going to carry out my administration as I think it should be done. I am not giving to suspicion of other peoples' motives. "Suspicion, you know, is the sha dow of a man's own soul. "If there have been suspicion and implications of bad faith, they do not come from me." Johnson's checks have ruddled from days in the sun. He appears vigorous and strong. He intends to hold himself to two weeks' vacation and will be ready to report to Presi dent Roosevelt .with recommenda tions for tlie future of NRA now clouded in bickerings and disputes at Hyde Park on September 10, Johnson is enjoying a leisure he has not known In tho 15 months of his administration of NRA. Bethany Beach Is a quiet resort, eight miles south along the Atlantic cofcst from the more populous Rehoboth Beach, It Is a resort of cottage homes with frame structures sprawled along a mile's length of sandy shore. Not given to such sport as golf or tennis, Johnson is enjoying his vacation by fishing and roughing it in old clothes. Despite his supposed freedom from official worries he cannot separate himself entirely from the doings in Washington and is In daily telephone communication with the capitol. "I have to go to Rehoboth Beach to telephone," he said with a laugh. "If you talk on the telephone here you have the whole town listening to you."
