The executive referred specifically to the statement of

Except for the governor to exercise such diligence as
demonstrated in this instance there seems to be little that
can be done, until tne people awaxen to a realization 01 tne
evil ana practice greater care in tne selection 01 tneir law
makers. The AFL Sees the Light
The most sensible utterance by a labor organization in
fears is the recent statement issued by the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor in which it recognizes
the mutuality of interests between employers and workers. It
Stresses unemployment and asserts the main economic prob
lem is to get the jobless back to work.
The council has no faith in "various forms 6f government
pending, either in the distribution of relief or in the develop;
Went and maintenance of work projects," because these "can
only serve as temporary measures," and for a permanent so
lution "we must turn to private industry," This means that
''private industry and business generally should be stimulat
ed so that the facilities of production may be increased and
millions more working men and women may be employed.
The report continues:
"We do not believe that the nation has reached the maximum In
production or consumption of manufactured goods. For that reason we
cannot accept the reasoning of those who maintain that we must prepare
to maintain constantly an army of unemployed as the Wards of the gov.
eminent. To secure Increased production, there must be willingness on
the part of Industry to assume risks, and this must be achieved through
the creation of a favorable state of mind. To that end Uie rules and laws
under which Industry should operate should be more definite, clear and
Understandable."
The borrowing and spending policy has failed because
With it went the policy of handicapping and penalizing indus
try and business. The government could not possibly take up
the slack caused by the withdrawal of private enterprise and
the scaring of capital. But both business and labor share the
blame with government, business by keeping up prices at the
expense of volume of production and labor unions by boosting
wages at the expense or volume of employment.
Only by cooperation of government, business and labor
whose interests are really in common can production be in
creased and jobs be provided the unemployed.
Cause of Sex Crimes
The 1938 Year book of the National Probation associa
tion The Offender in the Community" contains a study of
ex crimes in inow i oik Lity by Ranford Bates, former d
rector of the federal bureau of prisons. Analyzing the causes,
me penologist remarks:
"The one crime throughout Uie Country that Is showing an alarming
rate of Increase Is . . . rape, the crime which according to the New York
atudy cannot be laid to faulty prison administration or to loose parole. Do
we need any more dramatic demonstration of the fact that crime, at least
wis una or crime, Is being manufactured In and by our communities fast
er than our penal procedures can cope with It? . . . You can select any or
" " mowing causes or no oouot add to them: unemployment and
consequent Idleness; lurid accounts of sex crimes which appear In public
print, sex stories In magar.lncs, movies, etc.: the changed attitude toward
women from that of chivalry to equality with men; break down of family
controls; the absence of any substitute for the restraining force and Ideal
ism of religion; the Increase In the use of alcohol and drugs among young
people, particularly Uie recenUy discovered and all too prevalent use of
marijuana, ainea ana abetted by lll-tlmed and dramatic publicity among
rv""S
There are, as Mr. Bates observes two kinds of sex crim
inals, tne congenital, professional, habitual sex criminal, the
Dangerous degenerate, who whatever the cause of his condi
tion "is a public menace and should be treated as a social
leper, dui lor tne lar larger number of occasional offenders,
"society must face its own responsibility."
All of the causes enumerated above contribute to sex
brime, but probably those most responsible are the undue
emphasis on sex appeal, the neglect of parents, the lack of
religion and the increase in the use of alcohol and narcotics
Another factor is that we are breeding degenerates, criminals
nd morons to an extent that threatens the future of society

Nothing records more clearly
around here the revolution of the
earth on Its axis than the fact that
once again the Missionaries of
Whitman and the likewise of Will,
amett will meet in "brotherly love'
basketball encounter at the gym
here tonight. If the shades of Jason
Lee and Marcus Whitman loiter In
the shadows u these merciless ren
dezvous are kept It would be Interest
ing to listen in and see what they
think of the sport provided they
could figure out what It's all about.
If the two teams both descended on
Chemawa In a body the founders
could probably appreciate It.
Respectfully Referred ta Our Mr.
Crawford. .
(Coos Bay Times)
"And again comes the thought,
as the sweet 16 are once more In
terrogated, - that he who finally
emerges to the post of postmaster
shall surely be a paragon among
his fellow men. Having been
threshed out from the chaff of 40
or 60 different applicants, having
survived two years of official scrut
iny, he shall be good enough that
the town will want to elect him
to the U. S. senate, or send him to
the supreme court where rare arti
cles are put on display and kept In
tact for years and years. It will
Indeed be an honor to be named
postal supervisor, but It will also be
a great charge to uphold. Such a
man could not be guilty of spilling
ashes on the floor, or spitting on
the sidewalk."
The balmy spring weather has
brought out the firemen at the
South Salem fire station to the
front lawn of same, where they
are engaging dally In the Intriguing
sport of archery, Big Bill Hunt
was among the neophytes yesterday
who probably softly murmured to
himself, as he twanged bow. that
familiar quotation from Longfel
low, "I shot an arrow In the air,
but If It fell I know not where,"
et cetera.
Our FT ic BA Is no respecter of
persons, and every once In a while
some big shot comes along who ex
presses a desire for membership. The
latest of these, we understand, Is
H. E. Hedlne, the well-known main
tenance engineer of the California
Packing corporation, who Is aald to
be flirting with the Idea and Is
mighty near to the border line. But
we want to tell Mr. Hodlne that tills
FT & BA business Is pretty much
a matteT of whether He-dlne or
whether he don't dine, for some
Ume to come.
A prominent local man who mov
ed back here from California In
1030 and still maintained owner
ship of property down titers, was
telling us today that his property
taxes In that state are now one
thlrd leas than they were 10 years
ago, thanks to the sales tax. Yet
the drowning property owners up
this way still refuse to grasp at the
life line.
Our old friend, Emll Buchmann,
the barber, drove his way Into the
hall of fame when he made a hole-
ln-one on No. g green at Salem Golf
club. Old "Ace" Buchmann, he will
now be known as among his friends
and well-wishers.

(Br th AfHclsted Ptch)
Subway Snare
New York John Thompson, 13,
was carrying some glue home, but
that wasn't what caused him to get
stuck when he tried to save a nickel
by crawling through the spokes of
a subway turnstile.
It was a football under his sweat
er that trapped him.
A police emergency squad finally
freed the boy, glue and football but
John was still stuck for an explanation.
Elephant, Maybe
Santa Monica, Calif. Police blame
someone's long memory for the loot
ing of the cornerstone of the Cham
ber of Commerce building, built in
1020.
The metal box was pried out, and
a dollar bill and some coins were
missing.
No Dinner
Seattle H, B. Orlffith went for
a walk without putting out the fire
under a pan of beans.
When he returned, four engine
companies, two truck companies and
a couple of fire department batallton
chiefs were doing It for him. The
only damage was from smoke.
Playing With Firemen
Christopher, 111. The volunteer
fire department of Christopher and
Huey reported embarrassing situa
tions.
This community of 4000 was with
out fire ftghtlng equipment for sev
eral hours but no one was aware of
the tact. Officials didn't know the
fire department truck had been sto
len until It was reported abandon
ed seven miles from the village.
At nearby Huey a residence was
destroyed because firemen couldn't
get their truck started. Thieves had
drained the gasoline tank and sub
stituted water.

Washington, Feb. 31 President
Roosevelt was tipped before he left
Washington that the perennial
spring crisis In
Europe thla year
would be bigger
but probably not
better than us
ual. His data Indi
cated HlUer was
then preparing
to uphold Mus
solini by calling
up German re
serve troops. The
Pad Mauon fortcut mtlfr.(
move for the last of the month
or early In March.
Europe will literally be swarm
ing with troops on the move be
fore the trees are In bud If this
warning Is fulfilled. Other nations
will have to counter by similarly
marshaling their reserves.
Note The information to the
president apparently originated In
German sources, and the entire move
Is recognized here as the usual mar
tial display for psychological effect.
The brigands are reaching for their
guns thla time for the all too ap
parent purpose of frightening France
Into a "voluntry" contribution to
Italy In the Mediterranean. They
will probably get It without lighting.
Arnold Busy
Don't be mislead by the quietude
in Thurman Arnold's business re
forming division, erroneously called
the trust-busting department. He Is
holding his breath only until he can
get more men. A deficiency appro
priation was requested of congress,
but this will not restore his respira
tion. He won't get it. However, by
July 1, Mr. Arnold will be about his
business of correction on a larger
scale, on the basis of his budgetary
allowance for next year.
Published stories that he Is look
ing Into building trades prices mean
he is looking forward to an over-all
suit In one large city (probably Chi
cago) covering everything from la
bor right on down to big steel. It
might mean Indictment of 50 to 100
persons. He might get steel and
cement on charges of submitting Id
entical bids to the government. He
could go after unions because they
will not let contractors buy equip
ment cheaper from manufacturers
whose labor policy Is unsatisfactory.
The Idea behind such a venture
would be the same as in the milk case
forcing a "voluntary" agreement
to effect lower prices, As Arnold
turned the milk case over to the
agriculture department to work out
the agreement, he would also probab
ly turn the building trades matter
over to the commerce department
(Hopkins) for settlement.
G-Mon for Senate
G-J (army intelligence) has as.
signed an agent to the senate mlll
tary affairs committee. No one ever
knows what a G-3 man Is doing or
why, but he could be shooing the
spies away from the committee or
running around witb corks, stopping
leaks.
There will not be another tax In
crease this session. Excise taxes will
be renewed, but you can take FDR
at the word he uttered before he
got aboard the Houston.
House ways and means committee
has been privately exploring the
subject for weeks. They considered
adding a cent a package additional
tax on cigarettes. They thought they
could get away with It, but learned
there was not enough revenue to
make It worth while. They also
thought of adding 50 cents a gallon
on liquor, but dropped the Idea when
they heard It would be an incentive
to bootlegging.
FDR has been told March 16 in
come tax collections will be better
than expected. Alio he has been told
by Chairman Cliff Woodrum of the
house appropriations committee
that, whether he likes It or not, the
committee Intends to shave $15 to
130 millions from his budget allow
ance to each department.

POT SHOTS at the
LEGISLATIVE PARADE
L. E. Bladlne, ec-publisher of the
Telephone-Register, McMinnvllle,
was Introduced In the senate Mon
day by Senator Burke.
Oeorge La Roche, attorney of
Portland whose father was city at
torney of the metropolis for some
years, was extended the courtesies of
the senate Monday oy Senator Ma:
honey.
Chester Moorea, realtor of Port
land, was observed mingling with a
group of Salem real estate men at
the capltol Monday.
Mark Skinner, atate superintend
ent of banks, leaves tonight for Oak
land, Calif., to attend the wedding
of his daughter, Florence, which is
scheduled for next Sunday.
From Hlllsboro Monday came R. R.
Easter, manager of the Portland
General Electrics branch office and
store, to witness the assembly in
session.
A capacity house greeted the
speakers and opponent of the pres'
ent PUD bills at the public bearing
before the ralloads and utilities com
mittee of the senate Monday eve
ning. Many people came from sur
rounding towns and counties and
also from Portland. It was the night
set aside for the opposition to pre
sent their case against the mea
surea. Hundreds of people were un
able to gain admittance.
To the editor of the Journal came
a letter Tuesday from Emll G.
Tschanz, 3014 N.E. 60th Ave., Port
land, in which he says: "I have been
told your publication makes a prac
tice of publishing the names of In
dividuals who have been extended
the courtesies of the senate. If
the following names, Arthur Ogllive,
Robert Gehring, Frederick Dozier
and Emll Tschans appear In the Is
sue In which the proceedings of the
afternoon of February 8 are printed,
would appreciate receiving four co
pies." In reply the Pot Shot edi
tors, writing in abridged form, are
not permitted sufficient space to
publish the names of all the boys
who have been here to witness legis
lative proceedings, as thousands of
students from all over the state
have visited the new capltol
It was In 1878 In the caucus prior
to the opening of the legislative as
sembly of Oregon there developed a
formidable fight for the position of
page of the senate and the contest
ants were Delavan S. Smith of Al
bany and L. H. McMahan of Salem.
Now Smith, at the age of 81, Is
bailiff In the court of Judge Mc
Mahan of the circuit district of Mar
lon and Polk oountles. In the battle
for page. Smith defeated McMahan
though in later yeara the judge has
proved unbeatable. The bailiff, who
la visiting with the Judge and other
friends at the capltol, was reminisc
ing with his old friend, ex-Governor
West, once a resident of Linn coun
ty, who unravelled the pedigree of
the Smiths as readily as It he were
recalling history of the equine won
ders the ex-governor once owned,
Including "Sage Rat," the conqueror
of all the racers the Indians had
on French Prairie and St. Paul.
Smith's father, Delason Smith,
founded the Albany Democrat, served
a short term In the U. S. senate and
was speaker of the house In one ses
sion of the Oregon assembly. Smith
claims he Is about six years older
than the Judge, though he confesses
he la not quite sure about that. He
has been custodian of Judge McMa-
han's Albany court 14 years and
sheriff of Linn county several times.
On the front page of the con
gresslonal record of February 14 Is
turns are good and something Is
shaved from the appropriations bills.

No 6 of the 40th legislative assemb

Mayor Howard W. Hand, of Cor
vallls, president of the League of
Oregon Cities, in commenting upon
the defeat of the bill which would
give his cohorts 1800.000 gasoline
tax revenues, said that the league
had "counted upon 35 votes In the
house for the bill with the possi
bility of picking up half a dozen
more through arguments, but the
verbal fireworks made no Impres
sion." Evidently Mayor Hand Is a
novice In legislative sessions, for
any observer would tell him that
more bills had literally been talked
to death than ever were passed with
oratory which apparently was de
signed to Impress the gallery with
the oratorical ability of the speaker
or to clnvlnoe a lobbyist that a fee
Is being earned rather than with
the merit of the measure under
discussion. It Is generally the
"strong, silent man" In the legis
lature who Is able to count the
"aye" vote at the and of roll call
and not the orator.
