Fat Pickings
According to official records the council's merry-go-round
on the water issue has cost the city of Salem $18,
407.87 of taxpayers' money with part of the costs not yet in.
And there is nothing to show for it.
Arbitration proceedings, abandoned at the eleventh hour
have cost $3193.22 with from $500 to $1000 still owed. And
condemnation proceedings will probably cost more than the
$20,000 already wasted, entail endless delay, with only law
yers and engineers profiting.
Walter C. Winslow, who has been retained as special
counsel to assist the city attorney in condemnation proceed
ings is to receive $100 a day for his time while working in
the trial and $50 a day for his services in preparing the case,
and keep his own time. Engineering experts will have to be
paid at least $50 a day and other witnesses varying amounts,
while court, travel and other expenses will swell the total.
Arbitration proceedings occupied 75 days and extension
of time, needed to complete the findings was refused. Con
demnation proceedings will require even longer time for most
of the expert witnesses will have to spend as much time as
the arbiters in studying the plant to be qualified to pass on
its value for testimony.
Small wonder the lawyers and engineers prefer condem
nation proceedings its fat pickings for them.
Educating Adults
"Adult education will become a regular feature of the
public school system throughout the country within the next
decade," says Dr. Lyman Bryson, professor of education at
Teachers' College, Columbia university as quoted in the New
York Times.
All of which is a tacit admission of the failure of the
public educational system in America. If youth were prop
erly schooled, the necessity for sending adults to school would
not exist.
The Columbia Teacher's college has done much to de
termine the trend of public education in America for the past
twenty years, during which time schools have become the
costliest department of government. Besides the schools,
army and navy and even veteran costs are trifling, yet de
spite the enormous and increasing outlay, education has ap
parently failed to accomplish its purpose and we are advised
we must reeducate the adults, who have already graduated
from educational mills.
If adults must be educated anew, it should be at their
own expense, not the public's. But the answer logically is
to reform our public school system so that children will be
grounded at least in the fundamentals as their fathers were,
instead of wasting time on frills and foibles.
' Hazards of the Air
Crash of the giant American built Royal Dutch air liner
"Univer," its burning and wreckage, with its seven occupants
killed in a desert thunderstorm in Iraq emphasizes the haz
ards of the elements in aerial navigation and the impossi
bility of ever surmounting them. They constitute risks that
cannot be eliminated.
The "Univer" was the last word in airplanes. Only re
cently it won laurels in the England to .Melbourne air derby.
It was fool proof and as safe as a plane can be and its pilots
were distinguished aviators. But it was helpless before a
sudden storm that the desert bred without warning.
It is surmized that the liner was struck by lightning
which seems probable for an all metal plane flitting between
clouds must attract lightning just as the metal mast on the
Empire building does. The only safeguard is to refuse flight
when storms impend, or to land when encountered. This is
possible in a settled region where weather records are avail
able and landing fields abound, but impossible on the moun
tainous deserts where there are neither weather bureaus nor
landing places.
Highway Progress
Prospects of early completion of both Santiam highways
are advanced by the allocation of $125,000 to each the North
and South routes from, federal forest funds by the state
highway commission and forest officials. The allotment
must be approved by the secretary of agriculture to whom
the recommendations are forwarded.
The $125,000 to North Santiam will nearly cover grad
ing costs in the section remaining between the end of the
present work and the junction with the South Santiam.
Clearing of the route was completed this year.
Some work is being done in clearing the right-of-way
for the new route at Niagara by the transient workers at
Camp Santiam and there is every likelihood that the next two
years will see the completion of the North Santiam highway
for winter as well as summer use.

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, Dec. 19 You could
see a wholly different business at
titude toward the administration on
the Inside of that
White . Sulphur
3prin?s meeting
of industrial mas
ter minds.
Six months ago.
these same busi
ness leaders were
tearing and snort
ing at the new
deal. But at this
meeting, they ac
tually held up Ebaet
their program un- PAUL MAI-LOX
til they could get
word from the White House that
it would be acceptable.
There was no whispered criticism
of President Roosevelt or his poli
cies, but only a genuine and some
what meek desire to work things
out amicably.
Ivy!""
FA'-
Results What the effort will
amount to remains to be seen. The
real reason that the meeting was
called was to create unity among
the white shirts. The U. S. cham
ber of commerce was always saying
business wanted one thing, while
the National Association of Manu
facturers frequently asserted it
wanted something else.
The administration has often told
business representatives privately
that it could not do very much for
business until business agreed on
what it wanted.
The new cooperative organization
is supposed to keep the new deal
advised on what business needs
from the government. In that re
spect, it will probably work out verv
well.
Rivalry There was a lot of in
side sparring at the start of the
meeting between the chamber of
commerce and the manufacturers'
association. Both wanted to get
control of the key positions.
The manufacturers' crowd fs
younger and more militant. The
chamber group favored & Hat?on
with the new deal, all rieht.
but it did not care to move as far
or as eagerly as the manufactur
ers.
The manufacturers thought they
walked off with the show when they
got seven of the nine key commit
tee chairmen. However, this coup
was not as sweeping as the figures
indicate because some of the seven
are also members of the chamber,
although their first love is sup
posed to be for the manufacturers.
Five of the seven are officials of
the N.A.M.
The rivalry really did not go very
far outside of the officers of both
organizations. The delegates did
not seem to care much about it.
There may be some trouble on
that score later, but no one be
lieves it will interfere with the new
cooperative effort.
Tactics This new business spirit
does not mean that the business
organizations have changed their
economic policies and embraced Mr.
Roosevelt's. The manufacturers
started the move for the conferer.ee
and thye have a fixed program
which does not jibe with the new
deal. They want a balanced budget,
dollar stabilization, no government
competition with private industry,
reduced relief, outlawing of sympa
thetic strikes, and abandonment of
the majority rule of unions.
The change merely means they
are going to try to get these things
by cooperating with the new deal
rather than fighting It.
Whooping The new deal is try
ing to whoop up the business ad
visory and planning council and
make It the really representative
and influential liaison agency.
It is composed of about the same
crowd hnt W at Whi'e Snlph'ir
but business men do not like it
very much because they believe It
is under the thumb of Commerce
Secretary Roper. However, the
head of it, H. P. Kendall, Boston
textile manufacturer, conferred with
Mr. Roosevelt a few days ago on
arrangements to step up it activ
ities. The council has been meeting
every two months, but henceforth
will meet monthly. The executive
committee will meet every two
weeks.
Challenge The extent to which
NRA Is being challenged In the
courts these days Is shown by a
private check-up from the files of
its litigation division.'
In the past six weeks, more than
200 NRA cases have been docketed
for legal action.
Altogether, a total of 874 cases
have been docketed since NRA be
gan. Of this number, 485 have
been referred to the justice de
partment. There are 152 cases now
pending in courts.
Virtually all these cases result
from efforts of NRA to get com
pliance with codes or administra
tive orders under them.
Notes The census bureau has
completed a survey showing that
one-fourth of the factory wage
earners of the country ar in 11
counties.
A total of 11,700 banks have sign
ed up with the housing adminis
tration, but only 3.867 have actu
ally made loans.
The supreme court discovered
only one error in the oil code, but
there were two. The word "organ
ize" was left out of the labor sec
tion, which took the heart out of it.
The omission has now been corrected.
An International plan to make
war profitless was brought up be
hind the scenes at Geneva several
years ago. It was promptly squash
ed by the European po7;ers and
nothing about it has even been
published.
The first time the new deal ever
called itself Santa Claus was an
announcement (December 12) from
the emergency relief administration.
The announcement said the FERA
would play Santa Claus for poor
children, handing out rag dolls and
toys.

CHAPTER XI
The Gnome
When Dazmar and the tin sol
dier returned to the toyshop every
one was so excited they all gathered
round the two dolls. Of course,
Santa had to hear the whole story.
.And the fairies who make all the
dolls were so delighted over the
little royal mole baby they made a
special crib for him and brought
him warm milk and cookies. He
didn't whimper one little whimper.
He seemed to enjoy himself.
Santa's eyes fairly bulged when
he heard what the dolls had done,
and what had ruined his beautiful
holly trees where all our Christmas
WTeaths grow.
Mrs. Santa held Dagmar and the
tin soldier on her lap, and rocked
them until they weren't tired any
more. And the eanh-worm sat very
straight on a footstool near Santa's
chair.
"Well." said Santa, when he heard
the whole story. "We mustn't worry
the queen mole about her baby.
We must send her a messenger and
tell her where the baby is. And
we must ask the king mole what
can be done about the holly trees.
But whom can we send? I won't
permit any dolls down there. It is
too dangerous."
Then up stepped a sturdy look
ing gnome who works at Santa's
forge. He is the one who fits all
the wheels on the toy autos.and
trains we receive on Christmas.
"If youU pardon me," he said,
whipping off his nut-brown cap,
"I'd like to go, The moles aren't
bad people. I knew them long ago
when I lived in the root of an oak
tree. We hunted food together.
"They're only angry because the
holly roots are ruining their home.
Maybe we can come to some agree
ment." "Fine, said Santa, "and you're
rieht about their home."
"I'll tro down Chen." sal-! the
Quality
NOT QUANTITY
Our one desire is to
have you say . . . Blitz-
Ceinhard is a fin fttr!
gnome.
"Hurrah for him," shouted all the
dolls. And they helped him but
ton his little brown coat and pull
on his brown mittens.
He started off and In a short
time he was knocking on the door
of the mole kingdom, and when
the door opened he saw such a
sad scene. All the moles were sit
ting around and weeping. The
place was positively damp with
tears. And the king mole had re
membered him. and listened quietly.
When the gnome finished, the
king mole stood up. pulled his fur
cape about him. and said very ma
jestically: "I shall see Santa my
self. Let us go rieht away."
So the two started right off to the
toyshop. When they arrived Santa
and all the dolls were sitting quiet
ly. awaiting them.
The first thing the mole king did
was to dash for the doll crib where
the mole baby lay happily nibbling
rairy cooscie. The little baby laugh
ed and squealed to see his daddy.
and the mole kmg looked very
relieved.
