THE CAPITAL JOURNAL:, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1935 10 DOG AND HORSE DATTLE DRAW OWNERS AGREE Kansas City, Mo., April 20 (IP Bob and Brownie both like children, but since Bob Is an English bulldog and Brownie Is a horse they have different ways of showing their af (ectlpn. So yesterday afternoon, due to a misunderstanding, they fought a street battle that threw the 4000 block of Virginia avenue Into tur moil and gave housewives whose youngsters were playing out front a bad moment or two. Shelby Brown, husksler, had stopped his wagon before the Prank W. Short home. Darrel Short, 6, and his brother, Donald, 5, were eyeing the big red apples. Bob, 3 years old and customarily gentle despite his ferocious face, waddled about looking after them. Brownie, who Is an unusually dapper and stylish horse, turned his head to look at the children. At the same time, as horses will, he stamped a hind foot. Maybe he was showing off, maybe he was Just stamping to be stamping. At any rate, Bob thought he "meant something" and went Into action. He fastened his teeth In Brownie's neck and set himself to hold on for the rest of the day. Brownie plunged, then burst off kicking down the streets with dog and wagon accompanying him. A hoof caught Bob and sent him sprawling. Bob got a new hold on one of Brownie's legs and held on until a couple of teeth came out. While children shrieked and mo thers screamed, the police began to arrive. A block away Brownie stopped running and Bob trotted pantingly back home. Aside from losing the teeth and receiving a few scratches on the side, Bob suffered a bad injury to his right rear foot when Brownie stepped on It. Brownie was more scared than hurt. The two masters got together and agreed that it was JuBt a case of misunderstanding, shook hands and called It a draw. But however wrong-headed his actions. Bob today was a hero to Darrell and Donald. He'd shown them what he would do if ever they got into real danger. Continuation of Lumbermen From page One to recognize both unions, but neither exclusively. They have no objections to bargaining exclusively with the A. P. of L. union where all employes are enrolled In that union, the trus tees added. It was not the first clash between the West Coast trustees, who are the code authority for fir manufactur ing, and the NBA. The trustees ware instrumental In forcing NRA to abandon price fixing In lumber. Today's revolt against the lumber relations boar dapparently removed It as a possible mediator. Union leaders had said it would be accept able. The union demands recogni tion, a 32 cents an hour wage In crease and a 30-hour week. San Francisco, April 20 (LP) The Perkins mediation bonrd, appointed to adjust the oil tanker seamen's strike, renewed its efforts today to effect a peaceful settlement before the deadline or April 26 set by tanker operations. Unless the dispute Is adjusted by that time, the tnnk-shtp owners will refuse- permission to union repre sentatives to board tankers and will cancel their agreement to withdraw all present employes who are not bona fide seamen and replace them with former workers. The ultimatum meant mnlnly that the operators would refuse to guar antee their striking employers re employment as rapidly as Jobs open up. "All thnt stands In the way of more men returning to work Is the refusal of their union leaders to re lease them." the opcrotors said In a letter to the mediation bonrd head ed by Albert Rosenshlne, San Fran cisco lawyer. Union leaders have denied opera tor Intimations that mnny unionists have deserted the strike rnnks with in the last few weeks and arc now among the crews operating the tankshlps moving in and out of coast ports.

TRUCKS MUST PAY FEES ON LEGAL RATES Trucks that have charged less; than the tariffs set by law may be ! charged fees on the basis of six per cent of the gross revenues they would have received if they had col lected the lawful rates for transpor tation, Attorney-General Van Win kle ruled today. In an opinion addressed to Public Utilities Commissioner McColloch, the attorney general said that the truckers' action "In charging andi collecting a lower rate was volun tary and without authority of law.! To permit them to pay the taxes applicable to such transportation upon the reduced basis would amount to condoning a direct and deliberate violation of the law. It is not disclosed that the carriers were unable to collect the full amount of the charges or tariff required by law. "It is my opinion that they arc required to pay taxes on the basts of the tariffs fixed by law, and that they arc also subject to the penal ties provided by the act for viola tion of said requirement." In i.nother opinion, Van Winkle held that truckers could pay either on the ton-mile or gross receipts br-is, but that no refunds can be rimmed if taxes paid by weight are more than they would have been if computed on earnings. When carriers elect to pay their taxes upon the basis of per ton mile, they thereby voluntarily subject themselves to the provisions of law applying to such operations, and precluded themselves from claiming the benefit of provisions applying to those who elected to pay upon the basis of gross receipts."

Continuation of Hitler Rebukes From page One ment sees in the deliberation of the council of the League an attempt at new discriminations against Ger many and therefore rejects it in the most resolute manner. "The government reserves the right to make known soon her po sition on different questions touched upon in the deliberation." Official and diplomatic circles In Rome exhibited no surprise that the anxiously -awaited note constituted a rejection of the League council's action, but they were surprised at the curt, sharp tone Hitler took. The note reached London in the absence of government officials who were away on extended Easter holi days. Its text was forwarded to them by the foreign office. In Moscow the government news paper Izvestla expressed strong ap proval of the League council's ac tion and demanded the participa tion of Germany in European ac cords, not merely her sanction of such accords. The "greatest misfor tune" awaits any aggressive met on the part of Germany, the paper said. Paris disclosed that the Franco Russian military accord was being held up because of new difficulties, reportedly concerned with Russia's reluctance to give up "automatic provisions of military assistance. The strengthening and manning of France s "steel ring along the bor der was meanwhile nearing com pletion. Rome officials disclosed what they called the "biggest annual recruiting of aviators ever held in the world as applicants poured Into the air ministry for 1,300 pilots' posts and 4,750 specialist mechanics, prelimin ary to a temporary recall to service next month of hundreds of. reserve pilots. King Carol of Rumania, in a speech from the throne to parlia ment, expressed the hope that ar mament would be pushed forward.

To The Editor Of The Journal:- In these days when "scoffers" are "walking after their own lusts and saying where," I know that some must be gleeful over the mishap of our unfortunate brother who has come "under the law." People who make no profession of Christianity may go and come as they please, but those who are religious are mocked and scoffed at if they fail. This may all be very well, but Christ said, The kingdom of hea ven ls like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind." Mk. 13:47. Why then should any be surprised or take to scoffing when even a minister goes wrong? Are not both the wheat and the tares to "grow together until the harvest?" Verse 30. When we see tares among the wheat in the church and undesira ble fish in the gospel net, let us be far from scoffing or disheartened for it only proves the verity of pro phesy. And in the end the tares will be bound into bundles to be burn ed, but the wheat will He gather into His barn. Our part ls to watch self for as St. Peter wrote "Our ad versary, the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour." I. Peter 5:8. And "Let him who thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.' Let us not be vainglorious, but rather piteous and helpful. F. P. CHED ESTER, 1835 N. Church St., Salem. To the Editor: Your quotation from my treatise 'Quantity X, which appeared in the editorial page of your paper of last Saturday may help, by at least causing people to stop and think. I cannot nibble at the psychologi cal bait, charging that the missive would not have been written in here. Nor, can my ego be aggravated to a point of self-exposure by your gibe that my deductions are "specious" However, your assertion that any criminologist would so testify neces sitates my rebuking you. I have not encountered any learned men in your costal country who have dem onstrated their knowledge of crime by actual accomplishment. And you have not had time to submit my study to such men as Dr. Franz Alexander, head of the Judge Baker Foundation in Boston, established for the "treatment" of juvenile de linquents. And Dr. John E. land for twenty years senior medical of ficer In charge of Howard hall. And others who have taken the time to examine and study the Intellectual equipment of crooks and criminals. So. lacking the authoritative opin ion, you should not resort to snap Judgments. You express regret at my failure to present a solution to the crime problem. I can give you a solution in one word, "Euthanasia." But I be lieve you meant a cure rather than a solution. Treatment with a com plete cure as its objective, cannot be successful unless the patient wants to get well. Think that statement over carefully, ns It is the first, im Bank Bid?.

The Convict in the Oregon State Penitentiary. Salem, Ore., Apr. 12. To the Editor: In your issue of April 10, under the caption "Profs Protest Patman Bill as Inflation" we find some strange and unbelievable statements purporting to be quoted from a letter written to our senators, McNary and Steiwer, and signed by 23 faculty members of Willamette university, asking the senators to vote against the passage of the Pat- man bonus bill. Quoting from the letter "Democrats and republicans should stand together united, in pro test against the issue of flat money the whole history of which has been one of human suffering and dis illusionment." Under Sec. 8, Article 1; of the pow ers of the congress granted by the "fiat" of the people, expressed in the constitution is the power "to coin money and regulate the value thereof." In Sec. 10 of Article 1, the states are denied the right to coin money. So there is but one power the congress that can add to our cur rency, and under this authority all the money now lawfully in circula tion in the U. S., whether stamped on metal, or paper, has been coined.

Piat is one of the imperative forms of the word, and signifies "do it," or "let it be done," and all our money has been issued under the legally expressed will, or "fiat" of congress, and consequently is "flat" money, Quoting again from your letter in regard to "fiat" money, you say "The whole history of which has been one of human suffering, and disillusion ment." This statement Is not historically correct, as anyone may know, who is familiar with "Civil war" days. When Lincoln became president In 1861, he found the treasury practic ally empty, and the bankers refusing to loan money to the government, except at interest rates that the go vernment was unable to meet. The congress, relying on its con stitutional power to "coin money" Issued about $60,000,000 In paper cur. rency, making it a full legal tender for all debts public and private. which money, because It would pay, at its face value, every debt that coin would pay, never depreciated. Subsequent issues, though handl caped by the "exception clause" for ced on the government by the treas onable banking oligarchy enabled Lincoln and the congress of his day to put down the rebellion, to restore the union, and secure to us the blessings of a free united country. The Patman bill proposes to pay the soldiers' bonus by the Issue of the same kind of money that carried the country through the Civil war. April 16 JOHN W. JORY, Rt. 4.
