When the state highway commission steps out of its
proper sphere in the administrative branch of the state gov
ernment it infringes upon the policy making functions of the
legislature. This it has;done by joining in the sponsorship ol
a bill to increase load, limits, length and heighth of motor.
trucks '"'it
it' i th rmRlness of the highway department to build
roads to safely, accommodate
to use them by the legislature, ana. to recommena eutu
iMn will fufllilBtfi the achievement of that goal.
But it is not the proper business of the, commission to
take sides in a controversy concerning public policy that in
volves the state's treatment of problems dealing with rival
forms of transportation, particularly when in thus taking
!,!. it. spates the annearance of state favoritism toward one
set of Interests and of discrimination- against another: tax-
paying group, , , v .
It may be, as the highway engineers have figured out,
hitrher trucks can safely haul heavier loads
through the proper distribution of the weight on multiple
axels on certain stretches of road in the Btate without undue
damage to the highways or bridge structures. This does mean
that there is a justifiable economic need for these moguls of
the highways, nor that they are desirable from the viewpoint
of the tourists and others driving lighter vehicles on the
roads.
The plea for legalization of larger trucks on selected
high-standard roads is but an entering wedge to which the
lever of organized trucking influence will be applied to force
the construction of more heavy duty highways over which
they can operate. That means more expensive construction
and a consequent slackening in' the rate at which adequate
highways for ordinary travel can be extended too far, ne
glected roads. ( . t
. .The argument of the truckers that tHe present-variance
of load and Bize limits between states constitutes a series of
artificial trade barriers is pure bunk. Every time these limits
are raised, state subsidies of trucks over railroads are in
creased. And the railroads provide and maintain their own
roadways and are among the largest contributors to the gen
eral purposes of government. Except on their, comparatively
meager terminal facilities, the trucks pay nothing toward the
Reneral expenses of government and .barely enough in gaso
line taxes and fees to compensate ,the state for, their use of
the highways. . i
The highway commission is decidedly out of bounds
when it lends its influence to the enactment of such legislation.
Another Axis Conference , , .
Hitler and Mussolini are again in conference which bodes
no good for the world, probably planning a spring offensive
for the Axis as well as considering President Roosevelt's In
augural message . with its pledge for preservation of de
mocracies. ..
In all probability Mussolini's part In the parley consisted
of taking orders Instead of initiating plans of aggression, for
Italy has become a liability to Germany, which has had to ex
tend her lines to assist her deflated axis ally. - ...
So when II Duce's journalistic mouthpiece Virginio Gay
da proclaims in the II Giornale d'ltalla that the-Axis nations
have an "identity of view, not only for political ends, but also
for the conduct of the war we know that Mussolini has re
ceived his orders, which probably include pressure on France
to obtain cooperation in the war against Britain. ',
As to Nazi intentions in America we have Hitler's own
words in Mein Kampfr., . , ,
We shall have men whom degenerate Yankeedom will not be able to
challenge. I guarantee that at the right moment a new America will exist
u our strongest supporter when we are ready to take the stride Into over
seas space. .......
Our revolution Is not merely a political and social revolution; we are
at the outset of a tremendous revolution In moral Ideas and man's spirit
ual orientation. The Ten Commandments have lost their validity. Con
science Is a Jewish Invention. There Is no such thing as truth, either In
the moral or In the scientific sense. .
Yes, we are barbarians. We wnnt to be barbarians.
Typically New Dealish
In dedicating the new statues of Alexander Hamilton and
DeWitt Clinton at the Museum of the City of New York,
Mayor LaGuardia paid high tribute to Hamilton, founder of
the Federalist party and advocate of super-federal govern
ment and derided Thomas' Jefferson, founder of the demo
cratic party, and believer in the decentralization of govern
ment. LaGuardia stated that in this year of crisis forward
looking Americans should '"return to the theories of govern
ment held by these two distinguished men, Hamilton and
Clinton." ;
Clinton, however, was the greatest of stote right ad
vocates and built the. Erie canal, an achievement of a single
state which opened the west to traffic. Under the new deal,
which pays lip tribute to Jefferson but. carries out the theo
ries of Hamilton, such state action is frowned upon and held
the exclusive province of the federal government.
As LaGuardia is a typical new dealer, more socialist than
democrat, it Is not surprising to find him muddled in his his
torical allusions. Logical consistency of the last thing one ex
pects for doctrinaries, especially believers in state socialism
as the way of salvation.

Engineers Refuse
John Day Project
Local Folk Clash
With Government
Pierce Bill Passes
Buck to Legislature
By John W. Kelly
Washington, Jan. 21 Army en-
gineers refuse to set up a project
of small dams on John Day river.
They made an investigation and re
ported to the effect that it would
be useless for them to launch such
a project when local people were
causing the damage the dams were
Intended to stop. All this has been
sent to the county commissioners of
Grant county. Back of Uie engineers'
report are the gold dredges.
According to H. H. Bennett, cnief
of the soli conservation service,
there are approximately 415 million
acres of crop land in this country
and only 342 million acres can be
classed as "good." The other 75
million acres are either too worn
by erosion, too steep, or for other
reasons unprofitable and should be
devoted to grass, trees, etc.
What the dredge does to a country
is plenty. There are two kinds of
dredges In Oregon, the connected
bucket and the dragline, and of the
latter sort 13 were In use in 1840,
Dredges Ruin Land
Dredges are destroying land along
John : Day river. Grant county
Bumpier valley, Baker county, is
being eaten away. DredgeB are work
ing on Foots creek, and the upper
Applegate, Josephine county. An
other has started in Douglas coun
ty. Nothing but a barren, worthless
pile of gravel remains. It goes off
the tax roll, for no one would pay
taxes on It.
There is and-has been complaint
In Oregon about the federal gov
ernment acquiring land and remov
ing It from state and county tax
able property, but such property is
reserved for the future. There is no
future for Sumpter valley and other
Oregon areas where the gold dred
ges are steadily nibbling away at
the soil. Bankers who complain of
high taxes (they haven't heard any
thing yet) finance many of these
dredge .operations.
Back to Day's Time' -The
property destroyed Is 'pur-
chased from private owners, and
when the owner disposes of it to a
dredge company he washes his hands
of It. This is how the dredges con
tinue year after year. County courts
cannot prevent the sale of gold
bearing soil although aware that
shortly the land will be off the tax-
roll and nothing will remain but
unsightly, worthless gravel.
What to do about the dredge op
erations has been discussed for
years, but In more than a quarter of
a century nothing has been done.
First public attention was called by
the I. N. Day tax committee, which
suggested that the legislature take
action. Later, Walter M. Pierce was
elected governor and in his Inau
gural message he urged action.
Thereafter the subject became aca
demic. Also thereafter John Day
river, because of the dredging, re
quired tlie services of the army en
gineers, but the engineers have de
clined.
Plan Finally Evolved
Into the office of Representative
Pierce a few days ago stalked a
government official with a com
plete and elaborate soil conserva
tion program. The report of the
engineers was on the table. Mr.
Pierce didn't see much use in ap
plying soil conservation methods
when Oregon counties were permit
ting their soil to be lost forever by
gold dredges. He was taking the
viewpoint of the army engineers.
Out of the discussion evolved a
plan, which Is now being drafted
and will be introduced by Mr.
Pierce. Briefly, the Idea is to refuse
soil conservation program to any
county that allows its soli to be
destroyed. There are many such
counties in the United States, not
alone In Oregon, and the bill will
be general in its application.
When and If this bill by Mr
Pierce becomes law Uie buck will
bo passed to the Oregon legislature.
It will then be the task of the le
gislature to struggle with a subject
it has dodged for 25 years. Possibly
the legislature will not be interested;
may do nothing, and no soil con
servation benefits will go to Baker,
Grant, Josephine and one or two
other counties.
Bank Interest Sought
Several members of the Oregon
legislature have been advised of the
Pierce bill and the Interest of bank
ers also will be sought. It Is not
expected that the proposed measure
can be rushed through both house
and senate before Uie Oregon le
gislature adjourns, but It may be
passed before Uie next session.
California had the same problem
long ago. and solved It. California

Yosuke Urges
United States
To Keep Peace
Tokyo, Jan. 21 (fl5) Foreign Min
ister Yosuke Matsuoka expressed
'earnest hope ' today that the Unit
ed States would reflect seriously on
her attitude toward Japan's ambl
ttons In greater east Asia both "for
the sake of peace In the Pacific
and the sake of peace in the world
in general.
Later today, the British consul at
Yokohama was reported to have
sent letters to some British citizens
in his district advising them to leave
Japan "before the impending crisis
in American -Japanese relations
conies to a head." British subjects
in Tokyo, Kobe- and other cities
were said not to have received such
letters.
The United States, Matsuoka told
the Japanese diet (parliament), has
"evinced no adequate understand
Ing of the fact that the establish
ment of common prosperity
throughout ' greater east Asia Is a
matter of vital concern to Japan."
Declaring tlie United States "ap
parently entertains the Idea that
her own first line of national de
fense lies not only along the
eastern Pacific, but even as far as
China and-the -south seas," Mat
suoka said, It would ill-become her
to .accuse Japan of having . "ambi
tious designs. '
"I, for one," .Matsuoka declared,
"believe that such a position as
sumed on the part of the United
States would not be calculated to
contribute toward promotion of
world peace.
"Speaking frankly, I should ex
tremely regret such an attitude of
the United States for the sake of
peace in the Pacific and also for
the state of the world in general."
The foreign minister urged the
United States to "realize her re
sponsibility for the maintenance of
peace, reflect deeply on her atti
tude with truly God-fearing duty
and bend her utmost efforts
to allay an Impending crisis in civ
ilization.'
