Where Do They Stand?
Tn Marion, as in most of the other counties of Oregon
the orcanized Townsond club forces have nominated or en
dorsed candidates for legislative and congressional vacancies
to be filled at the coming general election, these candidates
i.eing selected on the theory that if elected they will devote
their efforts toward the enactment ol increased oici age pen
sion legislation.
The endorsements have been given on the theory that
the candidates are friendly toward and committed to the
Townsend nlan of old age pensions a cooperative system
of retirement benefits to be financed by the federal and state
governments.
The Townsend plan in the various forms in which it has
been proposed embodies a scheme of Iinancing through
transactions tax.
Shorn of its high-sounding disguise, a transactions tax
is nothing more nor less than a sales tax, which has been re
neatedlv rejected by the people of Oregon by larger majori
ties each time. Only a few months ago the voters of Oregon
defeated a sales tax for old age pensions by the decisive ma
jority of 155,211.
Whether they favor a system of larger old age pensions
or not, the people of Oregon before they go to the polls next
month, are entitled to know the position of every candidate
for the legislature, congressman and Lmted Mates senator
on the sales tax in any of its disguises.
Those persons to whom the pension question is the para
mount issue of the campaign are entitled to know whether
the men they send to the legislature and congress are advo
cates of sales taxes, property taxes or other specific levies as
a means of financing the payment of pensions.
Modernizing Scripture
For the second time since it was promulgated in 1582, the
official Catholic New Testament in English is to be revised.
Revision will take two or three years and be done by a com
mittce of twenty theologians appointed by Bishop O'Hara of
Montana, chairman of the Confraternity of Christian doctrine,
with the object of stimulating interest in the teaching and
study of religion for Catholic children in school.
The revision will consist in the elimination of obsolete
words and forms and the modernization of phraseology, but
the text will not be changed. The official Latin text of the
Voigate will be followed as closely as possible, changed only
when it will increase clarity.
An English New Testament was first brought into use
in 1582, when the Douai-Rhoinis edition was written and of
ficially adopted. In 1710 Bishop Challoner of England or
dered its revision, and at that time the cumbersome old Eng
lish forms, difficult to understand and rarely found outside
of the scriptures, were put into the bnglish New Testament,
which is still in use. No change has been made since then.
When the revision has been completed and approved with
a companion volume of commentaries, it will become the of
ficial English New Testament for Catholics in the United
States.-
Protest revisions modernizing the St. James version of
the bible have not been altogether satisfactory to those to
whom the spacious language and poetry and literary style of
Elizabethan times appeals. These revisions were deemed
necessary because the Greek original was found frequently
unsound. ,
Radio Oratory
Political speeches over the radio are convincing evidence
that radio orators are born not made, at least tew acquire it
Of course it destroys the old contact between the speaker and
his audience and the inspiration derived therefrom. It sub
stitutes a modulated, conversational, mechanical delivery for
the old fiery eloquence.
The mike seems to scare a lot of the speakers, who prob
ably feel like Elihu Root who exclaimed, "Take that thing
away. I can talk to a democrat but I cannot speak into a dead
thing." And some, like Colonel Knox, seem to think it neces
sary to shout, as ninny telephone users do. Such are misusers
of the radio, and relief is usually secured by switching the
flial from the swaker. . .
The radio has been a Cuil-sond to some speakers, such as
Herbert Hoover, for his-voice goes well, whereas his oratory
ii-poor and his presence uninspiring. President Rooseveit
has made himself n master of radio technique so that his
words carried his personal charm over the nation. The New
York 1 inies says:
Radio technique dcniuiids "eay conversittloiml tour, with lnstinc
'tive sentence accent and cadences, carefully tinird. written om and read
with mechmilciil accuracy. At present however, t tie whole practice of the
art of political pckln over the radio is very much In a stale of con
fusion. The masters are few and the misusers many.
,One has only to listen in to the flood of political oratory
r-h' which the campaign committees are spending many mil
lions Of dollars, to recognize the truth of this observation.
The death of Mrs. Lena llutton Olcott. wife of former
Governor Men W. Olcott at Portland, where in rrivni vonra
she had made her home, brings a pang of poignant grief to
her many friends and associates. Born, educated and mar
lied in Salem, she had a wide circle of friends in all walks of
life. While devoted to her family, she found time to devote
her abundant energies to unseltish charitable and humani
tarian efforts. She presided at public functions during her
husband's tenure of office with grace and dignity. Her fine
character, high ideals and charming personality endeared her
to all who knew her. Such women are too rare, and their
passing a community as well as a family loss.
Divorce is Sought
Dallas Suit for divorce was filed
Monday In circuit court by Mildred
Blen Morrow against Henry Irving
Morrow. The complauit suites that
the couple were married at Eugene
January 14, 1033 and that one child
haa been born of the union. The
plaintiff, as basis for the complaint,
charges cruel and Inhuman treat
ment on the part ol the defendant
toward her. In addlllon the plaln
litf asks for the care and custody
of the child subject to IJie condi
tions of a separation agreement
drawn up by the two parlies.

Corvallis. Oct. 8 iP Registration
of credit students at Oregon State
college reached 3704 last night when
late registering graduate sludenu
carried the total 240 beyond the
previous hiah record made in 19-3.
The enrollment is now 20 per cent
above that of a year aeo, which in
turn was 20 per cent larger than
two years ago.
Early critical housing problems
have bsen largely solved, with only
a few women students still in tem
porary quarters. The women's halls
are still filled far beyond normal
capacity, however, and an extra
"rushing period has been granted
sororities with the hope that some
not filled in the opening period will
be able to pledge more girls. Mast
of the late reeistrants are men. who
now out-number women 2517 to

the Couzens conversion in Michi

Self -Containment Treasury Sec
retary Morgenthau exuded an icy
stare when the news came that Mr.
Mussolini had devalued. There was
no cheerm?, no comment.
It is always advisable not to make
up your mind about events in Italy
until you ltrceive the text of official
statements, and sometimes it is not
even possible then to conclude what
has happened.
There is an additional reason why
officials here first considered any
new money monkeyshmts on the
part of Mussolini or Hitler as irrel
evant, if not immaterial. Mussolmi
has a greater variety of assorted lire
than the average candy shop has dif
ferent kinds of chocolates. Thty were
not permitted to be exported or used
freely in international exchange.
Hitler has even a stronger ban on
exportation of marks or gold.
The truth is these two countries
dare not let their money go freely up
against the monies of the world.
Their gold weakness permits them
to adjust their currencies to the dol
lar only artificially and theoretically
Consequently, what they do does
not make much difference to anyone
except themselves.
20,000 An la Barnstormers with
Governor Landon continue to com
plain about personal friction within
the top organization. What one emi
nent Landon authority said about it
weeks ago still holds true, namely:
"Theie are 20,000 ants on the to?
and each one thinks he is guiding
the log."
There are lots of little stories one
adviser pocketed some speech rec
ommendations of other advisers and
kept them from the candidate, the
superior manner of one foremost ad
viser has discouraged his helpers, etc
These situations are always preva
lent on the Inside of large campaign
organizations. They ar present with
in the Rosevelt inner circle, where
the president's own secretariat was
anything but one happy family from
the beginning.
The e-ffect on White House effi
ciency has not been noticeable, and
the effect on the Landon organiza
tion Is probably being over-estimated.
Figuring The democrats seem to
be better at figures than the repub
licans. Not only have they been able
to calculate the debt Increase at
$8,000,000,000 instead of $14,000,000,-
000, as carried on the treasury state.
ment. but they can prove from the
Digest poll that Mr. Roosevelt will
win. . .
Here is the way one of the work
ers around headquarters did It ra
ther logically with the Digest results
of a recent week:
Landon 's straw total 438,601.
Total Hoover vote from '32 polled
so far 362,955.
Landon's straw gain 75.646.
Roosevelt's stiaw total 282.524.
Total Roosevelt 32 straw vote poll
ed so far 290,675.
Roosevelt's straw loss 8151.
Now If you take the indicated ra
tio of Landon's gain over the Hoover
straw vote and apply it to the 15,
816.000 actual votes which Hoover
polled in the 1932 election, you will
compute the total indicated Landon
vote at 19.016,000.
Doing the same thing with the
Roosevelt loss will give you an indi
cated total of 22,132.012 votes for him
this year.
The result is a popular vote lead
of 3.165,652 for Roosevelt out of a
straw poll which shows him to be
losing 2 to I, and no one can object
to the logic of the deduction.
And so on, far, far into the night.
