For the lack of incentive
gome members of the senate
the part of others, the hope
parties of the patronage evil,
ticians control party organizations through the dispensation
of pie-counter jobs, apparently lies with the more indepen
dent and aggressive house membership.
For weeks now since January 16 the senate has been
playing football with Senator
eral and state officials from
state party organization. On
the bill was tabled a week ago. after being reported out by
the committee on elections without recommendation, and no
effort has been made to revive
True, the Lessard bill is defective in that it strikes at
only certain party officers chiefly national committeeman
and state chairman and exempts others. But there was
nothing except the opposition of members of the senate com
mittee in the way of amending it to make it applicable to all
The principal arguments so far heard against it are that
it would automatically deprive Congressman Walter Pierce of
his position as democratic national committeeman, and make
Artnur w. frlauix, chairman of the state republican central
committee, who draws a salary as justice of the peace down
in Klamath county, ineligible to continue at the head of the
republicans. Objections to the bill come chiefly from those
who are ranged along the pie-counter through the courtesy
oi waiter or. Artnur or their organizations.
So far as threatened losses to the two parties are con
cerned they would appear to be about a stand-off.
Impatient at the senate's
the syncophants who dominate both parties and fatten on the
patronage to be dispensed through control, the house has
turned to Kepresentative Rankin's bill which would deny
party offices from precinct committee up to national com
mitteeman to holders of federal, state, county or city offices
for which they receive compensation.
The house group backing the Rankin bill proposes to re
turn the party organizations to the people and make them
representative of and responsible to the people. -
The bill provides for the automatic vacation of party
offices now held by federal, state and municipal employes
and classifies violations of the act as a misdemeanor
ble by a fine of not to exceed

long ago sold for seats around the pork barrel.
Crashed Car Record
An analysis of the 29,423 traffic accidents in Oregon in
1934 show that 98 percent were due to violations of traffic
rules, speeding, carelessness and defective machinery. Of
the 309 fatalities reported, 98 were accounted for by failure
to observe stop signs and signals, 37 due to speeding, 32 to
skidding.
Carelessness and violation of traffic rules by pedestrians
accounted for over one half of the 99 deaths among pedestri
ans and were the major causes for injuries among them. In
toxication figured in less than two percent of all the acci
dents. A total of 23,482 passenger vehicles figured in accidents
1130 delivery cars, 3021 trucks with 1790 miscellaneous, mak
ing a total of 29,423 motor vehicles involved, out of a total
of 244,740 registered. There was one accident per 11.65 ve
hicles, 1 fatality per 79.2, one fatality or injury per'48.51.
Most of the accidents occurred between 11 a. m., and 12
noon, and during afternoon and early evenings, with more
accidents on Saturday than other days. There are more ac
cidents during clear weather and on dry pavement than on
stormy days and wet pavements, indicating greater caution
on the part of the drivers in bad weather.
Despite the safety campaigns and the concerted effort to
Instill caution, backed by law enforcement efforts the
slaughter continues to accelerate, especially In those days of
high speed cars on the one hand and out-worn cars on the
Other. The human equation presents the problem.
Russian Trade Fails
Recognition of Soviet Russia, inspired by desire to re
gain Russian markets for American products 'and the prom
ise of a cessation of communist propaganda in this country,
has resulted in failure thus far in both. No trade pact has
been negotiated and the propaganda continues,
Russian trailo continues to go to France mid Germany,
largely because France offered Russia $65,000,000 in trade
credits at ordinary commercial rates, to be amortized over
live to seven years, and Germany offered $80,000,000 of new
credits at reasonable rates to amortize over five voars. And
Russia insists on the same sort of .leal with "the I'niled
htates m other words Russia is willing to buv only if we
furnish the money for the purchases, and forget the old debt
aionnnn'nnn"?1 U,C "'f1 Sl!,les lnst fil" for 8 loRn '
$100,000,000 to bo amortized over 20 to 25 years. In return
Moscow' offered to settle old obligations for $150,000,000 and
to pay 3 percent above the interest rate on commercial cred
its, this surplus to amortize the Soviet debt, a proposal that
wo,1n f Lrjut't(,(1; a lwcdent be established that
would affect other debtor nations.
Probably the problem will eventually be satisfactorily
solved when Russia is willing to talk business.

Educational Depression Educat
ors are bringing pressure on the new
deal to expand its aid to school sys
tems. The PERA has announced It
will not permit schools to close, yet
there arc now nearly four million
young people out of school and out
of work. More than 5,000 schools
(according to the national education
association) will close by March 1
unless federal aid Is extended. Mon
ey spent on schools In this school
year will be 1475,000,000 less than in
1929-30. One among every three
teachers is receiving less than $750
a year; unpaid salaries amount to
over $100,000,000. There are now 23,-
692 fewer teachers employed than
in 1932.

WEDDING DAY
Sunday morning on tho Lavery
ranch found the Montana Kid mov
ing about In his room with a slight
limp, but whistling at the work of
incasing his long body and his
strong shoulders in white shirt and
collar, in socks of black silk, and in
a fine blue-black serge, at last.
Even as he knotted his necktie
on his wedding day, he kept flexing
his feet a little In the softness of
hla fine calf boots because he could
not tell what guns might look at
him before this day was ended. It
was what he most disliked and ad
vertised appearance; and there
were plenty of men in the world
who might want to take advantage
of it.
He would need three pairs of eyes
with which to keep on guard this
day; but that was what he had
needed a great part of his life, and
perhaps it was why he was whist
ling now.
His stay on the Lavery ranch had
been a quiet back-water, a pause
in the hurry of the current that was
headed towards some wild and un
known sea. Now that he was
dressed, he looked quizzically at the
brown face In the mirror and found
that the blue-bright eyes were alert
for danger rather than for happl
neas.
Oray-headed Ransome, the fore
man, poured tight and helpless Into
Sunday clothes, smoked a cigaret
and watched his friend. "It'll be a
great day," said Ransome.
"A long day," corrected the Kid.

Bring out your basket of mem
ories tonight and go with me to
the flying bridge of the ship; and
with reckless abandon pick and
choose the stars you like. Only
once, ten years ago In Cuba, can I
remember a night so lustrlbiu with
the sparkles of heaven. Fill your
basket! Line It with radiant weave
of the Milky Way; set In the center
the spectrum hues of the luminous
Evening Star; use the Little Dipper
to gather the fragile light of distant
worlds and carry back the memory
of the elusive Southern Cross idling
along the distant sky. No moon
to dim the Celestial Song of Life;
no wind to whistle past the ear;
no noise to frighten off the music
of the Heavens. A night like this
is rare in any man's world. And
yet, the hours I stood on the high
est point of the ship drinking in
the bewildering symphony of God,
passed as a moment. The Power
and the Glory of the Light of the
Stars refreshed my eyes, made my
ears more acute to the sounds of

she keeps away from other ships.

"Might any bozo think that?1
murmured Montana.
"Any bozo might think," went on
Ransome, heavily, frowning, "that
you didn't give much of a damn
about one of the prettiest girls in
the world."
The Kid, instead of answering,
looked at Ransome with eyes that
had become the color of slate; then
he picked up that pair of Colts with
the extra long barrels and made
them disappear inside his clothes
with one of those swift, easy ges
tures which the eye could not fol
low very well. After that he went
to Ransome and laid a light touch
on his shoulder.
"Old Ransome!" he said.
"Yeah, old Ransome be damned,
said the foreman. "What about old
Montana, I'm asking?"
Many other things were going on
at the same time about the big
Lavery house. There was Ruth
Lavery in her room, being draped In
films of white. She smiled a good
deal until the girl who was the best
of her friends said to her, suddenly;
whispering: 'Ruth, are wou smiling
because you're happy, or Just to
please me?"
"I'm happy, of course," answered
Ruth Lavery. "But I'm frightened.
Something is going to happen!"
And In front of that house Rich
ard Lavery senior was walking rest
lessly up and down, up and down,
scanning the horizon from time to
time as though he expected a sign
of changing weather to roll darkly
up on the edge of the world.
He turned almost expectantly to
wards a sudden rattle of hoofs that
beat on the lower trail and then
revealed a rider on a sweating mus
tang. It was a young fellow with a
look of anxiety, as though wild In
dians might be behind nlm. He
threw himself out of the saddle and
ran to Lavery.
'D'you know what's happened?"
he gasped. "Jack Lascar that yal-ler-faced
feller called Lascar that
showed up in town the other day
he's gone and nailed a notice
on the bulletin-board in front of
the post-office. I've copied it
down!"
He pulled out a piece of paper
and read aloud. Half the words
were a gasping whisper and half
were almost shouted.
Everybody notice thnt wants to:
Me, that la Jack Lascar, Is going
to stand out in the middle of tlie
street in front of HI Bailey's black
smith shop at ten-thirty this same
mornlns and wait for the low yaller
hound by name of Montana Kid.
If he don't show up then and there,
you all know what kind of a skunk
he is.
JACK LASCAR.
"Wait a moment." exclaimed
Lavery. "Where's the sheriff?
What does he mean by permitting
open challenges in a place like
Bentonville?"
"The sheriff's out of town," said
the messenger. "Some of the boys
have sent for him. He ought to
be back by about ten-thirty. But
I thought that you might want to
know "
Get offthe ranch!" cried Lav
ery. "Don't let Montana see you.
If he should find out "
He found that the rounded eyes
of the messenger . were peering
straight past him and, turning,
Richard Lavery saw Montana
standing in the open door of the
house. Above the white of the
stiff collar his face looked brown
er and younger than ever. Mon
tana was rolling a cigaret, letting
his fingers see their own way, while
he said:

"Oh. could I be a Puddle Mud

"Well," said Top Notch, the roos

"But I cant be a rooster," said
the lamb sadly.
"You don't have to be a rooster."

"A crow who can discover things

"But t can t be a crow." sighed

"You dont have to be a crow."
said Rip. "It Is Just as well to be a

He scratched the match, touch
ed the flame to the crimped end
of the wheat-straw paper, and took
in a good, deep breath of the
smoke. His eyes had an absent
look, as though he were consider
ing a further answer. But the
messenger Jerked his head in un
derstanding and ran back to his
pony. It was something worth re
membering during a life to be the
connecting link between a Jack
Lascar and a Montana.
When Montana got into the
saddle and Jogged around the cor

would have to face all the music
In one great burst.
For on the veranda stood the as

tall and straight and forbidding

Montana rode straight up to
