Commentine unorr the
Figi
election in Salem as it pertains to the mayorality, the city
council and the water commission, and specifically as to the
attitude of successful candidates for these offices toward the
Stayton island water supply project, the Statesman remarks
editorially:
The re-election of Mayor Kuhn can fairly be Interpreted as an en
dorsement of his administration's handling of the wntcr problem, and
specifically In proceeding with the development of Stayton island as a
source of supply. Had not opposition been worked upon the anti-gambling
question the majority for Kuhn, and for the stayton program,
would have been much greater. While some of the candidates for council
who had approved of Stayton water were defeated, in every case the de
feat was not on" the water question so much as on personal grounds.
" " If not particularly enlightening, the conclusions at which
the Statesman arrives through amazing matnematicai gym
nastics are at least amusing.
Because of the dunlicity of issues and the personalities
Involved the 249 majority given Mayor .Kuhn, champion of
the million dollar Stayton island scheme, over this opponent
Chris Kowitz, out of a 8,303 votes cast, has little or no sig-
nifiVanrfl.. .
It is significant, however, that only four of the nine ad-ministration-Stayton
island "ticket" candidates for council
positions were returned; that five independent candidates
were chosen, and that tne conlessea ringieaaer ana spoils
man for the island program was decisively defeated.
Of the three water commissioners chosen only one was
endjK'sed on the Stayton island ticket, and he ran a poor
third. .
The votes polled by the "ticket" candidates and their
oponcnts arc likewise interesting and instructive.
Nine administration candidates for council seats polled
n total of 4563 votes, or 27 less than the 4590 cast for their
opponents.
The two ticket candidates for water commissioners
polled a total of 7405 votes against 12,749 for the three non
endorsed aspirants, a difference of 5344. The one successful
Stayton island champion received 4381 votes as compared
,with 4837 and 4746 respectively for the other two elected.
Another New Deal Blow
The resettlement administration has been declared un
constitutional by -a majority of the United States .court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia. , The decision is based
upon the opinions of the federal supreme court in the NRA,
1AAA and original "hot oil" control act, and holds the same
Jcgal flaws were found in the resettlement act. The decision
cays: ...
There is nothing In the act directly prescribing the power or duties
of the president with respect to housing and assuming that it may be
Inferred from the act that funds are to be used by the president, yet
there is nothing requiring their use, either absolutely or In any specified
condition or circumstance. He Is free to tise them or not as he sees fit
?. There Is no guide as to where or when or how these funds are
to be used for housing.
After reviewing provisions of the 1935 relief act which
appropriated $4,488 millions and the executive orders of
President Roosevelt which set up the resettlement agency,
the opinion says, "this is delegation running riot," and the
net unconstitutional because it failed to set up any standard
or criterion under which the money was to be spent.
The decision was handed down in an injunction action
brought by Franklin township, Somerset coun.ty, New Jer
sey, which sought to halt a resettlement project planned
within its confines. The injunction request had been refused
by the District of Columbia supreme court. . The court of
appeals reversed the lower court decision. ..
The resettlement act was an emergency relief measure
und the emergency is passing. Certain of the projects have
justified themselves but many have not and their cost has
been excessive for results materializing. Probably the ad
ministration will be grateful for an easy way out to discon
tinue resettlement projects.
i , .
Returning to Normal
.. Primary election results in Oregon emphasize the return
to normal and the passing of hysteria generated by the de
pression. The defeat of demngogucry shows plainly enough
the gradual restoration of prosperity. The November election
will spell tilt final doom of the few radicals who survived for
lack of opposition. . ;
. Senator McNary 'will face Willis Mahoney, the only self
proclaimed Townsendite for congressional office who secured
a nomination against John Jeffrey, perpetual office seeker
mid probably the most unpopular candidate on the ballot.
Representative Ekwall and Pierce were renominated against
avowed Townsenditos and their opponents, Nanny Wood
Honcyman and Roy Ritner, anti-Townsentl, were victors over
OARP nominees. Congressman Molt, who was endorsed by
the pensioners but had no opposition, will face E..W; Kirk-
patrlck, avowed anti-Townsendite in November, ' :
' Ralph E. Williams far outstripped his Townsendite op
ponent and was re-elected republican national committeeman
.and Howard Latourette won out in a field of four as demo
cratic patronage distributor.
ated for treasurer over W. E. Burke, Townsendite, with the
democratic nominee in doubt.
Voters of Portland have evidently had enough of crack
pots. Joe Carson was re-elected mayor over Ralph Clyde,
ardent champion of isms, and O. R. Bean re-elected commis
nionei'. Commissioner Bennett failed to get a majority and
will have a run-off with W. T. Snearly in the fall. Clyde,
however? remains in office until .January, 1939. The Mujt
nomah legislative nominees show the conservative trend.

THE KEYNOTEJ
Mr. Roosevelt flicked the ash
from his cigarette and announced
there was nothnig in all this talk
about Messrs. Hopkins, ickes and
Tugwell and their scramble for the
relief doughbag. Nothing new in
the situation at all. It was very
simple. Tugwell is going to carry
on just as he has been, with money
from Hopkins. Ickes is going to
continue his PWA with money from
the RFC revolving fund.
Detection You could tell from
the president's patient tone of voice
that it pained him inwardly to
have to point out old stuff like this.
Reporters dashed from the room,
sent off bulletins announcing in ef
fect that Mr. Roosevelt's reforma
tion - of - thc-new-dcal-from within
had been completed. Ickes and
Tugwell were having their wings
clipped. Hopkins was going to han
dle the swag.
Newsmen can detect the real news
behind a pained tone . when they
hear it.
Residue What everyone knew
was that Prof. Tugwell Is not going
to be able to resettle the world on
what he gets from Mr. Hopkins. Nor
is Mr. Ickes going to be able to
announce that PWA has furnish
ed trillions of man-minutes' of la
bor on the refunds he receives from
the RFC revolving fund.
Both boys are through as world
remakers, for the duration of the
campaign at least. Their jobs
will be sideline "samples." They
will not handle the real goods.
But they will handle enough to
keep . themselves and their friends
comfortably quiet. Exactly how
much money they will get, nobody
knows. , They have an indetermin
able amount of unexpended bal
ances. Mr. Ickes would build mu
nicipal sewers and things like that,
but no more Boulder dams. Mr.
Tugwell will be able to play around
with things he has started, but will
start no new things.
In other words, an existing con
dition was accepted as a practical
political compromise.
Relative Success The secret of
Mr. Hopkins' favor with Mr.
Roosevelt is that he has done every
thing he was told to doy. He had
made as many mistakes as the oth
er ufficials. Criticism has constant
ly thundered about his head. But
when he was told to spend a cer
tain amount of money, he did it.
When he was told to put a certain
number of men to work, he was
able to produce figures Indicating
that tic did It.
No other new deal lieutenant has
been able to show the boss a simi
lar record.
Weather Note Some of the in
side personal tiffs within Mr. Roose
velt's unhappy official family are
becoming slightly rough.
One official, for instance, has
been devoting himself to digging up
highly personal data concerning the
business past of another official.
He has gone to a couple of republi
can congressmen in an effort to

At a recent gathering in Salem a
photo of twenty-six young women,
taken nearly forty years. ago, was
brought out, and became the source
of much conversation and many in
teresting recollections.
This photo was taken September
8, 1898. The place, was in front of
Warner Breyman'a residence, then
located at Court and Church streets.
The building has since been moved
to 825 North Summer street.
The "High Five" club was made
up of many prominent young wo
men oi tne town.. They had their
meetings twice a month at the
homes of the different members,
and a number of pictures were taken
by different artists. . ..
As this group picture was passed
around, there was much comment,
particularly among tne younger set.
It was generally agreed that Salem
had a young woman's club noted for
good looks, pretty dresses, fascinat
ing styles, and becoming ways of
persuade them to shoulder the ma
terial publicly but. they have de
clined. Now, when republican con-
gressinen decline to touch material
against any new deai official, it is
a fairly good sign that there is
something wrong with the material.
What most officials ' here need
most right now is a vacation in
refrigerator.
Smuggling Diplomacy The move
ment of more Japanese troops into
north China is not considered as
important as a less , obvious move
ment thereabouts.- i .-
The American and British trade
markets in north China are being
undermined by goods smuggled in
from Japan's Manchukuo and the
free port of Dai mi. The purpose
of the smuggling Is' :to escape Chi
nese customs duties-and thus under
sell American and British goods
which (pay the custo'n.t duties.
The rate at which smuggling has
lately been increasing leads author
ities here to estimate that it may
soon cost the Chinese government
$50,000,000 a year in revenue. Thus
it may pinch their aoility to pay
the Interest on British and Ameri
can loans as well as British and
American trade with China.
It is a new kind of economic war-
lare and our diplomat? do not seem
to know what to do about it. China
says she cannot stop it Japan says
it is up to China to enforce her
customs regulations.
Caution The new deal diplo
mats did not care to press the sen
ate to ratify the naval treaty at this
session unless ratification was cer
tain. So they sent the treaty to
the senate informally and it was
quietly passed around by Chairman
Pittman of the senate foreign rela
tions committee. He invited sena
tors to take a look and see what a
good treaty it was, so that the pres
ident could decide whether to sub
mit it officially. '

Angel flax retting and scutching
plant are receiving their shares, Fred
J. Schwab of Mt. Angel being in the

expected that everything will be in
readiness by August when the first

must cooperate to bring this about;
Schwab declared, The time is short
and everything possible is being
done to expedite matters.
The necessary buildings arc well
under construction and the original
down payment of half the cost of
the needed machinery made at the
lime of the order. The second half
of the payment Is due soon and until

While many of the subscribers
readily pledged whatever amount
they felt they could stand financial
ly, a number have not fulfilled these
plccgcs and their cooperation Is be
ing sought by Schwab. Approximate
ly $6000 In subscribed stock has not
been collected and it is for this pur
pose he asks for early action to meet
the cost of machinery.
SUSTAINED YIELD
FORESTRY'S GOAL
Sustained yield Is the goal of the

The report made today marks the

provisions for snag falling, closures
of forest areas during the hazardous
seasons and the operators' permit

The report also traced the de
velopment of forest protection, from
