"With or without offense to friends or foes I sketch vour world exactly as it goes." New Deal for Hops Commenting on the progress of beer legislation in Wash ington the current issue of Business Week remarks : The 5-cent glass of beer won a victory last week. Almost without consideration, the senate April 15 passed a bill declaring hops a basic commodity and providing for processing taxes, though without fixing the amount. Indignant brewers sent a deluge of telegrams. The bill was re considered, la now on the calendar. Oregon and Washington hops grow ers must rely on marketing agreements, say the brewers. Also moving toward cheap beer, the brewers voted 3 to 2 In a code referendum against cooperative advertising with retailers, giving away accessories, and so on. In the meantime the hop growers of the valley are bal loting on the code marketing agreement approved by the secretary of agriculture which contains the main demands they presented, and places the fixing of minimum prices and allocation of saleable tonnage entirely in the hans of the growers, which was opposed by the brewers. The hop industry board will be composed of 15 members, three of them dealers, four brewers. Of the dealers one comes from the coast and the other two from the United States at large east of the coast states. Of the brewer mem bers one come3 from the coast and the other three at large east of the coast states. The seven grower members all come from the coast, three from Oregon, two from Washington and two from California. The fifteenth member is to be se lected by the other fourteen and is to be in no way connected with the industry either as grower, dealer or brewer. Allocation of saleable tonnage is given completely into the hands of the grower members of the industry board de termined by a vote of not less than five grower-members of that board, of whom one shall be from California, two from Oregon and one from Washington- The allocation for each PTower will be based on the amount of his acreage; its pro ductive capacity giving consideration to previous years' pro- auction; the age and condition of his acreage; equipment and facilities for growing and handling, and any other pertinent matters. The minimum price fixing also is placed entirely with the grower members of the board, this and the preceding pro vision being considered virtually complete victories as to the whole code for the growers. It is apparent that the hop-growers haven't lost faith in the New Deal but look to it for their salvation. Too Many Restaurants At the district meeting of the Associated Restaurant Dealers of Oregon held here Thursday it was shown that one of the main problems the proprietors face is the increase in eating establishments too many for the prosperity of the trade. Figures given show that in Salem In 1926, the year of our greatest growth and prosperity, there were 27 restau rants or one for every 963 persons. In 1933 there were 92 or one for ever 287 persons. Every street in the down town district showed an increase. Increase in establishments, in crease in wages and increase in costs of food form a constant threat towards continuance in business of many of the res. taurants. This increase in eating houses is probably due mainly to the unemployment caused by the depression. Cooks and others out of work started small restaurants that required but little capital. Rents were low and at least a living seemed assured to those whose principal investment was their own labor. Pool halls installed their own lunch counters. The restoration of beer provided an increase in revenues. The chief sufferers were the first class restaurants which had payrolls, costly fixtures, higher rentals, wage schedules and overhead to meet. In the cities, department stores, markets and drug stores have entered the eating counter game. The restaurant business is not the only one overdone, the same condition exists in many other lines of enterprise. The jobless mechanic out of a job starts a machine shop, a repair snop, a cabinet shop, the unemployed clerk onens corner grocery, a corset shop, etc-, down the line, hoping at iu Kei uy until sieaay employment offers. Many of them fail, for lack of capital or knowledge of the game, but some of them stick. At least it keeps them off the relief runs una preserves tneir self-respect.

Ku. lie cannot be sure that It le the memory of Leelie Harm wmcn make him dread the cere mony; he knows, however, that he resents Jane's forcing him to live In the expensive uut usiy noma lurnisneo or ner latner Instead of In the lovely old Btlmson man sion. Wildly he decides to tell Jane the marrlase must not be. But ha knm, h oars not. Chapter 24 TEAPOT TEMPEST James fell at last Into an ex hausted sleep. He was still sleep ing soundly at nine next morning wnen Aunt Lou wakened him. "Mis' Northrup's calling you on the tele phone," Aunt Lou told him. "She seems terrible upset and wants that you should come right over there quick as you kin make It." James' heart leaped high with hope as he hurried Into his clothes, gulped down a cup ol coffee and ran for a street car. Jane didn't want to get married. Jane had the courage he lacked, the courage to save them both. He pushed the slow-moving car all the way down South Fifth Street and up North Fifth and Jumped from It before it halted at Oak Street. Mrs. Northrup was waiting for him on the porch. "You look very happy, young man," she said grimly and led the way Into the front parlor. What's the matter? What's hap pened?" James asked; and stilled the feet that wanted to caper. He'd have to pretend of course to be sor ry . . . horrified, and he wasn't good at pretending. Trust that old harpy to see through him. He'd better insist on seeing Jane alone. Good old Jane. He and she . . . "It's the altar guild," Mrs. North- rup snapped, "or rather that hateful Mabel Webster. She won t allow Jane to have candles on the altar, and we've got such beautiful ones, hand-dipped. Jane was In hysterics. I had to give her a bromide. It does seem after all our work . "The altar guild?" James inter rupted stupidly. "What's the altar guild got to do with It?" James was a Congregationallst. the Northrups Episcopalians. James made out finally from Mrs. North nip's confused explanation that the present Episcopal rector was high church and Mrs. Northruo low church. A year before the rector. then new, bad the effrontery to in stall candles on the altar and Mrs. Northrup unhappily, had fought the innovation tooth and nail. Now the Janus-faced Mabel Web' ster had called up that very morn ing to say tnat the altar guild knowing that Jane would not want to have her vows desecrated by candle light had sent the dedicated candle sticks to be replaced and re fused absolutely to produce them in spite oi persuasions and threats. Mrs. Northrup fairly bounced with rage. "But ... but is It so important?' James stammered. He was so dis appointed he wanted to die. Not important to have Jane stabbed in the back? You of ail people ... of course It's important The candles are an Integral part oi tne decorations. A more heart- cruel ... I should think you could see that without being told. H aoesn't seem very Christian." james said weakly. 'Christian? I should sav It wasn't Christian. If Mabel Webster after this is admitted to a Christian Heaven. . . . Mrs. Northrup had a great deal to say about Mabel Webster, about all the altar guild in fact. James The Old South By OSWALD WEST Savannah, Oa., Apr. 20. It was upon the old Hermitage plantation that Orifflth made the picture Birth of the Nation." The first to make settlement upon this spot was a French Hugenot, who built himself a log cabin within a grove of beautiful live-oak trees on the bank of the river. Later, but be fore the Revolution, a Scotchman named McAlpin landed at Savan nah and was not long In making a purcnase or the tractthe French man retaining the right to occupy his old log cabin through the re mainder of nis days. McAlpin was not only fortunate. but thrifty. Discovering a bed of brick clay upon the premises he Began the manufacture of brick which found ready sale in the grow ing city of Savannah. The fruits of the soil, Including brick revenues, permitted the Increase of his slaves to hundreds and his acres to thou sands. He dealt in slaves purchas ing the raw material from trad-s who brought them from Africa and landed them, almost at his door step, on the bank of the Savannah river. These unfortunate Imports aiier rjeing taught a little English, plantation duties and something of the ways of the white folks, were auctioned off on the premises to otner plantation owners. McAlpin had studied architecture in Scotland and, as his wealth in creased, set about to build a home that would be a thing of beauty and a Joy forever. The buildings were given their setting In a magnificent grove of live-oak trees on the banks of the river. All buildings from the mansion to the stock barns were designed with care and with an eye to beauty and convenience. The location of each and everv structure was In complete harmony witn a well worked out nlan. All were constructed of brick made upon the premises, sand was at hand in a small stream that flowed near I by and into the Savannah, and lime, for mortar, was obtained from oyster shells secured near the mouth of that river. In the construction of the porch steps of the mansion and the fire places therein one in each room imported marble was used. Well, his dream was realized and upon his death, the estate passed on down to his heirs to be pre served in all Its beauty until de vastated by the ravages of war. Even today, when the old man sion and many out buildings are in ruins, enough remains upon which fancy may reconstruct the glories of the past. The beautiful grove of live-oak trees, draped with long streamers of grey moss, stand as sturdy and staunch as ever. From the front entrance of the mansion one may enjoy a magnificent view up and down the broad river and far Into South Carolina, which lies Just across the river. Mentally, one can reconstruct the ruined rice and other mills, the stables, the carriage house and the cow barns. The slave quarters, Le, those small but comfortable brick houses built for married couples, are nearly all in tact and remarkably well preserved. Even the old auction block well preserved Is a work of art. also the adjoining building where the slaves were quartered while sales were being conducted. Although Its broad acres have dwindled, since the war, to a few hundred, the ownership of this plantation has, until Just recently, remained in the McAlpin family The city of Savannah has purchased it, no doubt, tor industrial sites or park purposes. The old buildings, however, have been purchased by Henry Ford, who has a crew at work tearing them down for ship ment and restoration on a planta tion ne owns In northeastern Flor ida. Thus will the old McAlpin nermuage oi savannah be preserved ior iuture generations. looked so miserable that even Mrs. Northrup was satisfied. At that moment the telephone bell rang snruiy. Mrs. Northrup has- tened to answer It. James heard her cry sharply, "It simply isn' possible. I will not, Mr. Northrup ana i win not allow it." A silence, Then, "This Is the last straw. shall certainly appeal to the bishop.' She hung up. Mrs. Northrup had left the room red-laced and defiant. She return ed white-faced and trembling, brok en and suddenly old, James got out of her finally that It was the society reporter calling up to point out to ner tnat the wedding, scheduled to take place that evening at eight thirty o'clock, conflicted with the weekly prayer meeting hour. No one nan thought, no one had remem bered about prayer meeting. And now the society reporter said she had been reliably informed that Dr. Morton had stated that he would delay the prayer meeting until after the ceremony, but that he could not refuse admission to the church to any member of his congregation who assembled for prayer meeting at the regular hour. Jane's wedding list had been care fully gone over and expurgated Many had been invited, but more had not. Admittance was by card. Now, the entire riff-raff of the town way free to force Its way into the church. Mrs. Northrup, or the first time in years, burst into hysterical tears. It was a terrible hour. Mr. North rup was sent for. Beyond vowing that the Reverend Dr. Morton should shortly be forced to resign or he would leave the church, Mr. North rup offered no suggestions. "It was," he said over and over, "an outrage, yes, an unforgiveable out rage." Mrs. Northrup turned to James. "You must do something," she com manded sternly. James, with a sudden flash of spirit, refused even to try to Inter- lere. He said that the onlv digni fied thing to do was to ignore the whole rumpus. After all a few can ales, a tew uninvited guests, were of small moment unless they were made so. His advice was to assume a bold front, laugh It off or be for ever laughed at. After long and acrimonious argu ment, in which James, to his pain ana surprise, found himself cast unaccountably in the role of the culprit, his advice was accepted. The Northrups would do nothing, except keep the last horror from Jane. James was dismissed In ig nominy, not even allowed a sight of the stricken bride. He walked home slowly, a puzzled and abysmal ly gloomy young man. God. if he'd only had the sense to fall In love with an orphan. When Jane had barely managed measure of calm, James tele' phoned her at six o'clock, ostensibly to ask how she felt and In reality to tell her callously that she was not to mind about the candles, that it would be all the same in a hund red years and that she was to cheer up and forget all about It. With the whole town laughing. with even her bosom friends she had honored as bridesmaids run ning In and out all afternoon, twit tering and whispering and pretend ing to be sympathetic, and actually blissful with pleased excitement, with Mabel Webster triumphant and Dr. Morton hiding from a Just and awful wrath, James actually dared to take the whole shocking Insult as a Joke I (To be Continued) Still Middle of the Road Speaking of the action of the United States Chamber of Commerce in denouncing the New Deal policies, Senator Mo Nary said: "These business leaders do represent a certain thought. I've sometimes doubted if they represented all of the business sentiment." They do not of course, for there are as many diverse omwiK uumiiess men as among otner group organi zations. The Chamber has'frcquently objected to measures it later endorsed. There is so much that is beneficial in the New Deal that many want it retained, as well as much that uugnt to oe ana win be discarded. However, the attitude of the Chamber, which is the al titude ot wall street, of the National Association of Manufacturers and of the White Sulphur Springs recov- j'u i t 1 winter, win not affect the presi dent s determination to push through as much of the recov ery program as he can. At his press conference last night, he dropped his policy of conciliation and accepted the chal lenge. While striking out at "organized" business thought, he did not alienate all business and industrial interests. He commented upon the failure of the resolutions to touch on the human side of economic questions. The action of the Chamber and the president's reply ought to assure the most skeptical that Mr. Roosevelt has not swung to the right and become a "tool of Wall Street" nor has he swung to the left but maintains his middle of the road course- Woodburn Mrs. Jake Schneider of McKee Is In St. Vincent's hospi tal at Portland where she underwent an emergency operation Monday and la In a serious condition.

Our lives depend upon a certain abundance of material goods. But we are not satisfied with that; we always want super-abundance. Tills cravlnir ior more tnan we need Is the covet- ousneas so frequently and strongly condemned by Our Lord. wnue it is one of the common est of vices, It is seldom recognized as a vice. A religious leader whose work had caused him to deal Intim ately with grent multitudes of people informs us that people had con fessed nil sorts of sin and crime to him, but not one had ever con fessed that he was covetous. Why do we have such ercat desti tution in a world so amnlv auDolieri with all needed goods? The answer is simple. Some men are covetous. and, having the power, they have acquired a great superabundance and the multitudes have not suffi cient for their needs. We are told tnat wars nave an economic husr In other words, the covetous deirv for a superabundance on the part of a few, plunges the world Into me norrors of that catastronhe. mere is a story of a klnt who asked his stable boy how much he was paia. me boy replied, "Only my board and clothes." His maj esty responded, "Be content, then. I get no morel" There Is great it. Their possession of such vast amounts simply prevents those who need from having what they should have. Recently economists have toia.us tnat 60 per cent of our total national income was anDlled to nav. ing dividends and interest chnnre.. and a very heavy proportion of that nuge amount goes to men who al. ready have so much they can not make any use or the additional - cept to pile It up. But what Is the effect unon the man himself who secures the super abundance? I recently ran across tins quotation: "Indeed as I ap proach the end, I am more than a little puzzled to account for the instances i nave seen of business success money-gettlnrr. It ramn from a rather low Instinct. Cer tainly, so far as my observation goes, it is rarely met with In com bination with the finer and more interesting traits of character. have known, and known tolerably well, a good many 'successful' men oig nnanciauy men famous dur ing the last half century; and a less Interesting crowd I do not care to encounter. Not one that I have ever known would I care to meet again, either In this world or the next." The writer of the abnv. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., whose granaiatner and great-grandfather were presidents or the United Rtatu and he himself was president of the Union Pacific railway. Adams and Jesus Christ both agree that real life does not consist In the covetous acquisition of the super-abundance. Pantry Patter By R. O. B. News Behind The News By Pul Halloa f'sTif Washington, May 4 The atmos phere is not the only thing which has been balmy around here lately. The boys who have been negoti ating the NRA compromise have been at least 20 degrees hotter and dizzier than the temperature. For Instance. congressmen em erged from Presi dent Roosevelt's office one dav and announced they 'AUL MALLON had been unable to agree about an NRA compromise. Shortly there after, efficient Senator Pat Har rison announced to his finance committee that the president would accept the compromise. Chairman Dough ton, at the other side of the c:.pitol, Immediately Implied the president would not. New Dealer Roper praised the compromise, indicating it had ad ministration approval. NRA-er Har riman in a press conference then railed against the compromise, in dicating it was unacceptable, Team-Play When Harrlman was told what Roper had said, he re dded to see Coordinator RIchberg, who apparently was coordinating something else at that moment. Mr. Harriman returned with the news that Mr. Richberg would not utter a word and implied that Rich berg was in a condition of silent dejection about the compromise. But when New Dealer Roper learn ed what NRA-er Harrlman had he sent out word to cancel his original approval of the com promise. It was cancelled by news papers between editions. To top It all off, the administra tion senators then approved the compromise in the senate finance committee and reported It to the senate. This left nearly everyone in a complete state of confusioii as to who was for what, if any- tning. Solution The answer to all this uncoordinated commenting is simple, What Mr. Roosevelt actually said in the first place was that he did not approve the compromise, but he would not veto it, if congress ap proved It. This was the same as telling congress to go ahead and approve it, because congressmen were ready to grasp any way out It did not take them long to catch but some of the new dealers required a little longer time. As every good prisoner knows, it is sometimes necessary to create confusion in order to escape.

QUACKO CALLS By Mary Graham Bonner Good morning, quack, quack. I've come to pay you a friendly little call, Mrs. Quacker," said Mrs. Quacko, as she swam down to Quackerville and saw Mrs. Quacker sitting on a lily pad. 'I've meant to come several times lately, but so much happens in Pud dle Muddle that I really haven't had a moment." "I knew you were going to boast about something when I saw you swimming along here," quacked Mrs, Quacker. "Ducks of breeding such as I am don't have to boast." "But you're boasting when you say you have breeding, Mrs. Quacker," quacked Mrs. Quacko. "I should rA is what seems to have been done in this Instance. Sidestep The confusion, however has only started. Those who favor the NRA and those who are against it apparently believe they are ac complishing their purposes In the compromise. One side is going to be fooled. The best Inside opinion Is that the compromise is merely a side step. It does not mean anything, except that NRA prestige may sut ler. The compromise proposed two "changes": (1) abolition of price control, and (2) withdrawal from lntra-state business What those two changes amout to will depend on who interprets them. And the answer to that Is the NRA will In terpret them until the supreme court does. This means the supreme court and not congress will decide the future of the NRA. Price-Fixing The inside on abol ishing price-fixing is this: The NRA outlawed price-fixing, as such, six months ago. It abolished direct price regulations In several codes at that time, and more recently In the lum ber code. But it did not abolish the steel basing point system and similar little devices which it does not consider to be price-fixing. These little devices will be retain ed if the compromise is adopted by congress, although they are cer tatly Indirect price-fixing. Imagination Also you may sus pect It means destruction of the NRA if you abolish its control over lntra-state business. The secret of that is the NRA never considered any of its activities as influencing lntra-state business. It has always agreed that It never had any Influ ence over business conducted pure ly within a state. It stretched Its legal imagination somewhat when it adopted the ser vice codes (for hotels, restaurants, etc.) which do not appear to be In interstate commerce. But it can still stretch its imagination after the compromise is adopted. Red-Handed Imagine the embar rassment of a certain congressman when a house attendant walked up and handed him a wad of money during a roll call the other day. What made it worse was the con gressman had publicly announced he would vote one way on the roll call and then voted the opposite way. The vote was on the ques tion whether Secretary Ickes should have another $10,000 assistant. No lawyer could ever pine for a better circumstantial case showing that Mr. Ickes was paying off promptly for votes, but, like many another circumstantial case, it was all wrong. The congressman had arranged to cash a personal check and sent a house attendant downstairs to bring him the money from the disbursing office It was true he changed his vote, but he did so because Mr. Ickes had recently been made head or the relief allotment division. The congressman will get money later from Mr. Ickes, but it will be relief money for his district. (Note: The name of the con gressman is being omitted because some stupid voter in his district would probably suspect that he ac tually had been bribed.) Preparation The city of New York is quietly opening up an of fice here, apparently preparing to get Its share when Mr. Roosevelt opens the (4,000,000,000 relief barrel.
