Food for Thought
Concluding a hearing on the relocation of the route of
the we3t side Pacific highway through or around the city of
McMinnville, Chairman Henry F. Cabell of the highway
commission yesterday stated a formula for determining how
and when local congestion reaches a point justifying the com
mission in constructing by-pass routes that leave cities and
towns off the main traffic arteries. Said Mr. Cabell in effect:
When the hazards to through traffic become so great, by reason of
local congestion or the financial Impracticability of building adequate
roadways through cities, as to out-weigh community trade advantages
and the consideration ol investments made which are wholly or in part
dependent upon their continued location on main highways, the com
mission feels Itself justified In the
state In by-passing such cities and towns.
The statement by Chairman Cabell is the first official
declaration by the highway commission of a policy to be fol
lowed in the solution of a problem which in some parts of the
state is becoming acute; which involves the expenditure of
hundreds of thousands of dollars on needed highway improve
ments that may prove adequate or inadequate to the needs
of the future. It constitutes a declaration from the commis
sion that it does not feel justified in spending the money of
all of the people of the state upon costly improvements which
are principally local in their benefits.
Probably Mr. Cabell is too far advanced in his study of
highway problems and their solution to secure the immedi
ate approbation of public opinion, which for the lack of a
state-wide viewpoint is chiefy motivated by selfish local con
siderations and influence. But he has given community in
terests something to think about in planning their parts in a
coordinated plan of highway development.
With the phenomenal growth of motor vehicle transpor
tation the time is rapidly approaching when there must be a
segregation of local and through traffic on primary high
ways, and those cities which look ahead and anticipate the
demands of 10 or 20 years hence in their planning will be
beBt served in the future.
Germany's Plight
Reports of the department of commerce, summarizing
economic and financial conditions in Germany show that the
country faces a serious crisis. The improvement in business
and increase in employment under Hitler has been brought
about by the German rearamament program financed by
heavy borrowing and it is becoming more difficult to borrow,
despite the seizure of industries and centralization of bank
ing. The March Commerce reports say that the financial
burden is growing and the strain on the Reich's finances in
tensified, that the short term borrowing of the past three
years has practically exhausted liquid resources of savings
banks, commercial banks and other, credit houses. Contrac
tors and manufacturers working on government orders, are
obliged to keep these bills for a specified "period and not to
pass them on for rediscount to their banks.
Last week's Commerce report summarizes the situation
as follows :
Foreign exchange resources, even to pay for necessary food Imports,
have been scanty, and the gold reserve has recently reached an all time
low that deprives it for significance as a backing for the currency. The
long prosecution of present economic policies has brought with it higher
prices, a scarcity of essential commodities, the practical monopolization
of the capital market for state purposes and pressure upon security
values. Unemployment Is provided relief by the stimulus to Industry
arising out of rearmament. It is becoming more difficult to control
prices, especially under the growing burden of taxation, the rising price
of raw material and the necessity to increase freight rates in order to
ease the deficit burden of the railways.
Hitler's rattling of the sabre and threat to peace, have
effectively cut off foreign loans and Germany seems drifting
toward another era of fiat inflation which will hasten eco
nomic and financial collapse, and spell the doom of Hitler
ism. No Menace Raised
President Roosevelt has taken the decision of the su
preme court invalidating the Guffoy coal act quite philo
sophically, stating that only answer was to keep on trying to
reach the objectives of that law and that the split decision
holding the act an unconstitutional invasion of state's rights
was going to be of great information and educational value.
The purpose behind the coal act, the president said, was
to remedy a difficult situation in a major industry. Both
employers and miners agreed on a general method to im
prove the industry as a whole and that an honest effort of
85 percent of the operators and nearly all the miners had
been made to carry these objectives into effect.
There will be little satisfaction in these remarks to those
who seek lo capitalize the sanctity of the constitution for
political effect and strive to depict any amendment to make
it fit existing conditions as destructive of the organic law
and this despite the fact that it has been amended some 21
times with other amendments pending. It is a great dis
appointment to republicans and Liberty leaguers to find that
the president does not propose amendments now to permit
desired reforms.
It shows that Mr. Roosevelt is not the "dangerous radi
cal" his opponents would like to make people believe and that
he seeks to accomplish needed reforms within the limits the
court sets, rather than attempt to change the constitution or
curtail powers of the court. If they cannot be accomplished
without, eventually amendments will be offered, no matter
who is president, forced by necessity for common welfare.

CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON
Moments
of the most romantic, if little
known,, stories of Franco-American
relations.
In April, 1927, France was in the
midst of one of her periodic anti
American waves. The pride of her
people had been hurt by the debt
settlement which had been swallow
ed with difficulty.
The franc had gone to smash and
had been rescued by Poincare only
through stern and ofter harsh mea
sures. French aviation records had
dropped, one after another, into
American hands. To cap all. Nun
gesser and Coli had been lost in a
hazardous flight to America.
So bitter were some people that
in the streets of Paris there even
was talk that Nungesser and Coli
had been killed in America to hide
their exploit,
The week before Lindbergh cross
ed the Atlantic, an American flag
displayed on the building of the
newspaper Matin had been hauled
down to avoid friction with the
crows gathered in the street.
Then, somehow, as Lindbergh,
oblivious of the terrific thunder of
acclaim that was to greet him,
steadily approached Paris, there
came a change in popular feeling.
Crowds began gathering in the
twilight at Le Bourget, buzling with
speculation on the character of this
unknown American who suddenly
had caught the world's imagination.
News of his passage over Ireland,
the swift flight from Cherbourg
where today thousands of American
tourists can read a commemorative
plaque, brought new thousands to
the field, eager to catch a glimpse of
him.
By 10 o'clock at night ever inch
of space was filled and many thous
ands crowded as closely as they
could the six-foot iron fence around
the airport.
Just after 10 p. m. came the drone
of a motor. Searchlights picked up
the plane, bathed it with silver
light, and followed it to the ground.
It was Lindbergh.
The crowd surged forward, swept
down the fence, and poured across
the field.
Even before it had seen him, Paris
forgot its anti-American feeling, and
took Lindbergh to its heart. The
rest followed like a fairy-tale. Lind
bergh's modesty completed the pic
ture. From that day to this, France
never has wavered in its love for
the voting American.

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, May 21. Men who
really know what is gumg on in the
republican campaign nave suspected
for some weeks that senator aoran
will not permit his name to go be
fore the republican convention in
Cleveland.
The Ohio primary is what con
vinced them. When Borah ff)t no
more than five delegates from the
state which mothers presidents, it
became evident that he was rapidly
becoming an orphan.
Since then, the insiae belief has
developed that practically all of Mr.
Bonn's friends have come around
to the undeniable lOfric of that de
duction, and, further more, have
made preparations accordingly.
His wisest associates believe a
withdrawal will leave him as a big
ger figure than a qulxttic encounter
with a steam roller.
Explosives? It has .ike wise long
been murmured amorz the men who
moil for votes that a cache of ami-
Landon ammunition would be
touched off by someor.t other than
Mr. Borah in person. A man close
to Senator Borah has been accumu
lating political evidence against the
Kansas governor for some months.
The able Idahoan has hinted at
some of it in his speeches.
The munition cac.ie is supposed
to include such things as a school
class photograph showing Mr. Lan
don as a boy in the same class with
an oil man whose name is now con
sidered political anathema. Anoth
er more or less explosive item is
said to be a quotation from a Stand
ard oil man favoring Landon too,
too effusively. Still others are Lan
don quotations in 19-13 favorable to
the Roosevelt program, etc., etc.
The best guess here still is that
Borah will eventually find that Lan
don will come closer to representing
principles in which he is interested
than any other candidate.
Lesion Senator Bnrah's expert
ence in the republican primaries
proves again what hard politicians
have known for a long time, namely.
that primaries are - not elections.
They are organization mass meet
ings. In general only people fac
tional ly connected within parties
take the trouble to express their
preferences. The best, organization
always has the edge.
Senator Borah had no organiza
tion this time, but, on the other
side of the political fence. President
Roosevelt had. That fact man ac
count, at least in part, for the tre
mendous votes Mr. Roosevelt has
accumulated in some states where
he was running against noboay, and,
in other states, only against Col.
Breckenridge.
Box Score Competent legal scor
ers have computed the line-up of
the supreme court on the Cuffey
coal case in the following simple
box score:
Six to nothing against the con
stitutionality of the lederal move to
fix hours and wages in the coal in
dustry, with three justices ducking
the issue. Probable stand: Nine to
nothing against that iiea.
Four to nothing for the constitu
tionality of the fedeial move to fix
prices in the coal industry, with five
not ruling on that po:nt. Probable
line-up: Nine to nothing for that
phase.
Six to three against the constitu
tionality of the feticra'. effort to en
lorce economic polices by penalty
taxes.
Note The court probably stands
unanimously on the ground that
congress can levy any kind of tax
for a constitutional purpose, but
cannot levy taxes fo an unconsti
tutional purpose.
Plot? News prowlers suspected a
plot when Mr. Roosevelt appointed
his house tax bill author to the
board of tax appeals. Perhaps the
president, wanted to get away from
the bill composed partly by his chief
author, Sam B. Hill ot Washing
ton. Possibly Mr. Hill was insisting
on too radical phases of the bill.
Probably, it was nothing so im
portant. Mr. Hill's term on the
board will be 12 years. He is now
61 years old, of Judicial temrr -amcnt.

Legal Autopsy Tne relief set
back in the local cojrt of appeals
did not worry the new dealers much.
They did not even take the trouble
to rush up to congresj immediately
and change the language of the
pending relief bill to conform to the
decision. They may do it later,
when they get around to it.
Thus, the holding cf last year's
resettlement allowance unconstitu

ner's verdict on a dead issue, for all
practical purposes.
SENATORSlNJOY
CHAT WITH F. D.
Washington. May 21 (P A three
hour White House conference be
tween President Roosevelt and a
group of Senators generally de
signated as liberals broke up early
today with participants insisting
politics was not mentioned.
"A general chat," was the descrip
tion given to the long session by the
senators.
They declared that among the
subjects under discussion were eco
nomics, government, rural electrifi
cation, the supreme court, and the
Guffey decision. The effect of sun
spots on the weather also was men
tioned, said . Senator Lafollette
(Prog-Wise.)
Others in the conference were
Senators Wagner (D-NY), Wheeler
(D-Mont), Schwellenbach D-Wn)
Minton (D-Ind), Norris (R-Neb),
and Shipstead (PL-Minn), Felix
Frankfurter of the Harvard law
school, a presidential consultant,
was there also, but Norris said he
was just "a listener."
Shipstead recalled that some
thing had been said about the su
preme court's decision which in
validated the Guffey coal control
act, but the Farmer-Labor senator
could not remember what it was.
Prior to the meeting some sena
tors expressed the opinion the
president wanted to talk informally
with "liberals" of various parties
and sections of the country on cam
paign matters.
JOB INSURANCE
PAYMENTS POUR IN
Payment of $136,500 from 3,000
employers under the unemployment
insurance act, representing a mon
thly payroll of almost $4,000,000.
was received by the unemployment
commission here up to last night,
but today's mail included more than
400 letters from others as the final
date for payment ended last night.
The commission announced it
would be unable to compute the to
tal figures for several days, as well
as the number of employes repre
sented by the payments, since the
office was swamped with work. The
cashier of the department esti
mated more than 2.000 employers
were yet to be heard from, and a
30-day grace period would be al
lowed for the payments for the
first four months.
Most of the larger firms are mak
ing payments under protest, an-;
nouncing they believed the federal
social security act, under which
the state law was enacted, was un
constitutional. No action was con
templated in Oregon, but firms were
awaiting final disposition of several
cases in eastern states, the commis
sion announced.
