A Political Budget
The budget director has cost the taxpayers of Oregon as
high as $25,000 per biennium. The last legislature appropri
ated $16,198 for the office, the reduction being due to emer
gency salary reductions. Budget Director Henry M. Han
zen's salary is $6,000 per year less the temporary slash. His
duties consist of preparing a budget for state expenditures
during the coming biennium for submission to the legislature
a work of a few weeks or at most a few months out of the
24. The rest of the time is spent playing politics.
The legislature deservedly pays scant attention to the
budget estimates submitted by the budget director and the
report just submitted is a fair sample of its utter unreliabil
ity. It is colored as a political document to extol the out
going administration and embarrass the incoming one by
false claims and vital omissions, conveying the impression
that costs of government will be far less than necessity de
mands. It's motive is to put the Martin administration "in
the hole."
Hanzen's report refers to an "inherited deficit of $4,
600,000" when Meier took office in January 1931. As a mat
ter of fact, the deficit was $2,397,866, having been reduced
nearly $140,000 in the two previous years. The deficit was
increased $693,808 in the first year of Julius, .and at the end
of 1932 reached $4,500,000 through the elimination of the
state levy. The reduction since has keen through economies
effected by the" 1933 legislature.
In the 1935-7 budget as prepared by Hanzen, estimates
of appropriations on their face are $1,265,199 below the total
of the closing biennium, and it asserted that if estimates are
adhered to, the deficiency will be wiped out and the state levy
eliminated. But no attention has been paid to rising costs
which necessitate larger institutional expenditures. The
problem of salary restoration has been ignored. No capital
outlays for necessary construction needs have been consid
ered. Higher educational millage has been raided by a recom
mendation that $508,000 diverted in 1933 to the general fund
be lopped off entirely, and a reduction of $341,656 be made
in educational millage funds. And among the appropriations
of 1933 he lists the $400,000 loaned by the liquor commission
ignoring the fact that only $107,000 has been used and it
must be repaid. There are numerous other discrepencies and
eliminations of required funds.
All of which proves the usclessness of the budget office
and the necessity for its abolition as a measure of economy
as promised by the governor-elect. The board of control
should make its own budget, based on facts not on politics.
The English Language
The English of Shakespeare and the authors of the King
James version of the bible can be traced to the English used
in the Book of Common Prayer. The latter exercised a com
manding influence on English diction and literature. The
first complete authorized English translation appeared
around 1550. Shakespeare was born in 1564 and the King
James' authorized version of the Tjiblo was published in 1611
five years before the poet's and dramatist's death.
Earlier translations of the bible by Wyclif, Tyndale,
Cloverdale, and the English exiles at Geneva, had a profound
influence on the English language and manners. Printing
having been introduced into England by Caxton in 1477, it
was possible for the common people to secure printed editions
of these early translations great black letter folios, carry
ing engravings which conveyed to the poor folks, often far
better than the printed word, the deeds and menaces of the
God of Israel. It was these books that had transformed the
England of Elizabeth's time. Says Taine:
To understand this great change, try to picture these yeomen, these
shop keepers who, In the evening, plnce the bible on their tnblcs, and
bareheaded, with veneration, heard or rend one of its chapters. Think
that they had no other books, that theirs was a virgin mind, that every
Impression would make a furrow, that the monotony of mechanical exist
ence rendered them entirely open to new emotions, that they opened this
book not for amusement, but to discover In It their doom of life and
denth; In brief, that the sombre and impassioned ImuKlniUlon of the race
rawed them to the level of the grandeurs and terrors which were to pass
before their eyes .The serious and pulsating tone shakes them at
once; they understand It with tho Imagination and the heart; they are
not, like Frenchmen, enslaved to logical regularity; and the old text, so
free, so lofty and terrible, can retain In their language Its wtldness and
Its majesty.
Latin was the language of the early churchmen. Wil
liam the Conqueror and his followers brought Norman
French to the island and, for a time, it remained the lan
guage of the court and the aristocracy. However, neither
Latin nor French made any great impress upon the Anglo
Saxon language. The Normnn found it necessary to learn
Saxon in order to converse with his Saxon wife or give di
rections to his yeomen and serfs. - Normnn children learned
and spoke the tongiic when mingling with Saxon children.
Norman language, like Norman blood, was soon to be over
whelmed by the Saxon tide as the vanquished always even
tually absorb the conquerors.
Chaucer gave birth to the new tongue the English lan
guage. Surrey, Raleigh and Sidney polished it and the
translators of the Book of Common Prayer and King James'
version of the bible made it what it was in the days of
Shakespeare and Ben Johnson.

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mall on
Washington, Dec. 31 Industry
whirred itself up to 86 per cent
of normal activity last spring. That
peak momentum
waa reached in
April and May.
Then It began to
slow down. Today
It is about 76.
The private
composite opinion
of the best econ
omic Judges here
is that It will
reach 90 this
coming a p r ing.
That does not PAJL MALLON
mean merely a 20
per cent Improvement over the
present. It means the improve'
ment will be 20 per cent more than
seasonal.
The business seers do not base
ths expectation on anything the
new deal will do. They reckon It
on the law of economic averages,
brought up to date by Investiga
tions of the present condition of
supply and demand the two fac
tors which will seem to be more
Important than any others.
It makes as good a new year
greeting as you can get, and far
more substantial than the frail
hopes expressed at the end of 1933
Status An accurate idea of the
up-and-down road along which
President Roosevelt has lea us can
be obtained by a squint at the ac
companying monthly business chart.
It shows that, generally, we are
at about the same level as last
year, with certain important ex
ceptions. The main exception Is
that wages and employment have
been notably improved. Industrial
production is about the same as
last December, but wages are about
10 per cent nearer normal and em
ployment about 3 per cent better.
This may be nothing to get out an
extra about, especially in view of
the fact that demands for relief
are not diminishing, yet It is en
couraging. An equally Important Improve
ment in 1934 was In department
store sales. They were 10 per cent
nearer normal this December than
Inst. Of course, that Is generally
attributed to the pump-priming
money which Mr. Roosevelt has
been putting out,
Causes Continuous improvement
in Industrial activity for the past
four months is noted. It Is im
portent because the wheels usually
slow down at this season. (Of
course, they did in November and
December, but the decrease was
less than seasonal.)
The better December figure was
due lAi'Rely to steel and automo
biles. Steel ran at 37 per cent ca
pacity. Steel improvement Is ex
pected to continue through the
spring.
The auto makers have been op
erating at a rate greater than sea
sonal, largely because they have
changed their production season.
But their plans for next year indi
cate a planned output of 3.3 million
cars next year (compared with
about 9.7 this year).
The trend Is toward larger and
roomier cars with not so many cost
ly gadgets on them. You will see
when the models come around
shortly that the only big new feat
ure Is the steel top, which has been
generally adopted.
Textile Insiders have noticed that
there has been strong buying late
ly. Big orders in December ex
ceeded expectations, and were con
siderably in excess of production.
Unquestionably, production in this
line also will be stepped up early
in the new year to meet demand.
Building It might be best not to
spoil a very encouraging new year
outlook by referring to building,
but the situation is somewhat bet
ter than the woeful figures Indi
cate. The number of permits is
sued In November were 19 per cent
over a year ago, and the extent of
additions, alterations and repairs
was 61 per cent over a year ago.
That Is due to the fact that hous
ing relief agency activity Is at least
beginning to show some results,
however slight.
Prices There was another Im
provement, not mentioned above
prices. They are now about 10 per
cent higher than In December last
year. Much of the Increase can
be attributed to the drought boost
in meat and farm prices, yet there
has been a small increase in prices
generally. More significant Is the
fact that they have been stabilized
at the existing level for the past
five months. They will go a little
higher In the spring.
Tip If any of you business men
want a more detailed, but less up-to-date,
analysis of the situation,
get a copy of the address of Bu
reau Director Murchlson of the
commerce department, delivered at
Pittsburgh Saturday. It u the most
intellicent New York statement
from the new deal standpoint. Of
course. Dr. Murchison Rives the ad
ministration the benerit of many
doubts, but essentially his sound an
alysis lacks the usual political frag
rance. All in all, conditions Indicate that
the happy new year greetings are
not idle wishes, although It might
be just as well to omit the adjec
tive "prosperous from them. Any
way It has not been used for a
long time.

EAST FOOTBALL
TEAM WEAKENED
THRU INJURIES
San Francisco, Dec. 31 (JPh-Another
injury today weakened the
squad of 22 college football players
from beyond the Mississippi as they
wound up training for the 10th an
nual east-west charity contest here
tomorrow.
Doug Nott, Detroit backfield ace,
limped from an ankle sprain grown
stiff since the injury occurred in a
practice Saturday at the east's
Berkeley camp.
The Detroit player joined "Pug"
Lund, Minnesota halfback, recover
ing from a severe cold, on the
doubtful list. Duane Purvis, Pur
due halfback, has a torn knee ten
don which is expected to keep him
out of the game.
Though Nott and Lund were both
expected to see some service In the
game, their doubtful status and the
injury to Purvis caused sentiment
among fans to swing sharply to the
22 western stalwarts. Even money,
Instead of the previous 10 to 8 odds
for the east, was reported avilable.
Andy Kerr and Dick Hanley, east
ern coaches, Indicated they may use
an air attack against the heavy
western line, leaving the ground
assault burden of Izzy Welnstock,
line smashing Pitt fullback.
The western squal completed
training with a light workout at the
Palo Alto camp under the direction
of Coaches Orin Holllngbery and
Percy Locey. All players were de
clared in good shape.
A dry field with partly cloudy
skies was indicated for the game
by the western bureau forecast.

hillside crash greeted their rescuers.
He said one of the Dryers, either
Ernest, the pilot, or his brother,
Dale, the co-pilot, had a wrenched
hip and would be taken out later by
sled. The others were expected to
reach Morehou Seville at 2 p.m. Dry
er's injury was only serious enough
to prevent his walking.
A CCC ambulance with a physi
cian started from Speculator for
Morehouseville.
Pilot Al Mitchell of the Massa
chusetts National Guard, circling
the spot at the time most of the
group departed, said that Dryer and
the remaining rescuer were at
tempting to patch up the radio of
the wrecked plane, which went dead
early in the search for them.
The conservation department
planned to give the survivors emer
gency treatment at Morehouseville,
then to take them to hospitals at
cither Herkimer, Uttca or Little
Falls.
One of the four was said to have
been frozen badly.
Albany, N. Y., Dec 31 (P) Rescue
of the four men stranded with their
wrecked plane In the Adlrondacks
was effected today.
Their rescuers, hardy woodsmen
from Hoffmeister, N. Y., eight miles
north of the forested hillside, start
ed for civilization at 11:50 a.m..
about 61 V hours after the giant
American Airlines plane crashed In
a snow storm Friday night enroute
from Syracuse to Albany.
Lieut. Al Mitchell of the Massa
chusetts national guard radioed
from his plane on vigil above the
spot that five men of the group of
11, which included seven searchers,
left the spot for the highway to
Hoffmeister, and that four men fol
lowed them shortly afterward. They
left two men at the wrecked plane.
Their identity could not be estab
lished from the air, but it was be
lieved that not more than one was
a survivor of the plane crash.
The courageous effort of the Hoff
meister woodsmen, including Lester
Pertello and Floyd Krueger, to take
the cold and hungry fliers to their
home eight miles away, climaxed the
three day fight of state police, na
tional guard filers and airline com
pany officials to rescue the quartet
in so-beiow zero weather and waist
deep snow.
The four, Ernest Dryer, pilot of
the airliner: his brother Dale, co
pilot; J. H. Brown of Boston, Amer
ican Airlines pilot flying as a pas
senger, and R. W. Ham brook of
Washington, D. C, were located
irom the air last night but not con
tracted from the ground until nearly
midnight. Then Pertello and his bro
thers, John and Charles, struggled
through with Knieger from Hoff
meister.

Continuation of
Bonus Letter
From page One
understood even among the veterans
themselves."
The president enclosed in his let
ter a special memorandum prepared
for him describing the issuance of
the bonus certificates and Its In
surance features.
"The amount which Is printed on
the face of every adjusted service
certificate," Mr. Roosevelt said, "is
not the amount of the basic or
original bonus ($1,400,000,000) voted
by congress but is an amount plus
25 per cent added for deferred pay
ment which with interest at 4 per
cent compounded annually over a
20 year period will produce the face
or maturity value. .
This would seem to dispose of
the question as to whether the ob
ligation is immediately due."
The president said another fea
ture was that out of 3,500.000 certi
ficates outstanding, 3,038.500 veter
ans have borrowed $1,690,000,000 or
"more than the present worth of
their bonus certificates."
"I feel sure that many of the
veterans have not given the ques
tion sufficient study to realize the
vast sums required to meet the de
mands suggested," the president
continued.
"Your statement advising me that
those who favor the immediate pay
ment of the bonus feel that a good
reason for doing so is because the
government has spent millions of
dollars on the recovery program and
that much of these funds will not
be repaid, while by the payment of
the bonus the government will be
discharging an obligation and by so
discharging this obligation the
money spent by the veterans will do
much In a practical way of stimu
lating recovery, to interesting..'
San Francisco, Dec. 31 (fP) Frank
N. Belgrano, national commander
of the American Legion, refused
comment today on President Roose
velt s opposition to the present pay
ment of the soldiers' bonus.
The legion has been campaign
ing for discharge of the adjusted
service certificates by the coming
congress as a relief and recovery
measure.
T have nothing to say," Belgrano
stated when he heard the president's
message.
Asked If Mr. Roosevelt's stand
would alter Legion policy, he re
plied simply:
"You heard my first answer,
didn't you?"

DOUBLE FILM
BILL OFFERED
Nothing was left undone to make
the big race sequences accurate in
Joe E. Brown's latest comedy for
First National's "6 Day Bike Rider,"
which comes to the Capitol theater
Tuesday and Wednesday in a double
feature bill.
Frank Hagney, former Australian
bike champ, was selected to handle
the technical phases of the film.
A group of the country's most prom
inent bike racers also rode in the
race sequences. Among them are
Lou Rush, winner of the recent Los
Angeles race; Cecil Yates, Tony
Schaller and Steve Wagner all
names familiar to followers of the
sport.
Chester Morris says "I've Been
Around," and means it in the Uni
versal picture of that name at the
Capitol theater.
Here Is a picture packed with
tense, human drama. A picture
in which you see Morris In one of
the most unusual roles he has ever
portrayed; that of a man who learns
two hours after he marries the girl
of his dreams that she didn't marry
him for love, but to spite another
man.
What happens after his discovery
makes this a picture that holds you
in the grip of tense suspense. The
honeymoon that follows this amaz
ing situation is one of the most
novel pieces of screen drama that
has- ever come out of Hollywood.
Morris is supported by a stellar
cast comprised of Rochelle Hudson,
direct from her success in "Imita
tion of Life," Isabel Jewed, Gene
Lockhart, Phyllis Brooks, Gordon P.
Hutley, Jr., and Ralph Morgan.

HAMAS MATCH
New York. Dec. 31 (LP) Charlie
Harvey, manager of Steve Hamas,

rounder, but Jack Dempsey, who
has an Interest in the champion.
doesn't think much of the idea.
Earvey is certain that Baer can't
do to Hamas what he did to King
Levinsky Friday night kayo him in
two rounds. But Dempsey argues
that if Baer should belt Hamas out
or beat him badly a possible hea
vyweight title bout would be ruined.
Dempsey says he is certain that
Ancil Hoffman, Baer's manager.
will steer clear of four-rounders.
"If Hamas beats Max Schmeling
in Europe in their fight in March,"
Dempsey explained to the United
Press, "Hamas and Baer would be
a good title fight next June.
No," Dempsey said with equal
certainty, "Baer won't meet Joe Lou
is. He promised his mother when he
first started boxing that he would
never meet a negro.

COUGAR GAME HELD
UNLIKELY BY COACH
It is extremely unlikely that Wil
lamette university's football team
will meet Washington State at Pull
man next fall, Coach R. S. Keene
declared today in taking recognition
of a statement appearing in a Port
land paper which credited Earl V.
Foster, graduate manager of the
Cougars, with saying such a con
test had been arranged.
"We will have a tough schedule
without adding Washington State
to it," Coach Keene declared. In
confirmation of this statement the
Bearcat mentor said that negotia
tions for games with OrcRon State,
Fresno State, San Jose State, Gon
zaga, C.P.S., Whitman, Pacific, Col
lege of Idaho and Columbia are un
der way.
Nothing definite concerning the
proposed game with Hawaii has been
received. President Bruce Baxter of
Willamette recently received a com
munication from the University of
Hawaii head which said the latter
would cable upon his arrival in
Honolulu.
