TIIl'HSDAV, FEBRUARY 1!0
It is a Sorry Mess.
FOR the distinction of having dono most to got Ore
gon's finuncinl affairs into tho QxistiiifT sorry moss
tho governor and tho legislature must share tho censure
of a just public appraisal, with tho former fairly taking
tho heavy end. As the legislature wanes to its close
nobody knows just what our financial status for the
coming biennium is to be. That we shall go heavily
"in the hole" seems apparent, but just how heavily
only tho future can tell.
In pique at the repeal of tho state income tax and
in the hope of enforcing its early restoration, the gov
ernor, assisted by Jefferson D. Myers, then state treas
urer, so manipulated the levying of the state property
tax as to bring it $1,500,000 short of budget require
ments. The majority of the legislature, anti-income tax
and anti-Pierce, resented this. Instead of trying to find
ways to cut slate expenses for tho coming biennium or
to levy an additional tax, as might have been done over
tho governor's veto earlier in the session, the legisla
ture went merrily ahead with its appropriations with
'little visible effort at economy. Salaries have been
raised right and left (hough by no means impartially
and special appropriations for various purposes have
been, made which were by no means justified in the
existing stringency.
For the situation thus created, public opinion will
divide the responsibility, as above stated. Partisans
of the governor will believe that he lias been trying to
cut down their taxes, and it is not unlikely that "he will
emerge from the situation stronger than ever before
those who have followed his fortunes. As to the legis
lature, its members individually will of course be held
responsible for nolliing. Legislators never arc. Meau
wlnlo the state will have to be extricated in some way
'from its financial morass.
History and Impartiality.
IT HAS been remarked in these columns recently that
little history is written impartially. It is difficult for
one desiring to learn truth about a great war, for in
stance, to accomplish that cud, except by delving deeply
into the accounts of it as given by historians of both or
all of the nations engaged and then balancing one against
tho other an unsatisfactory process at best. Tho truth
ought to be good enough for historians, but it seldom is
bo regarded by them.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt told tho World Alliance
of International Friendship, in an address delivered
recently at Palm Beach, Fla., that in every war waged
in modern times those participating havo sought to
justify their acts of aggression by tho claim that war
was resorted to only as a means of national defense,
and then sho made tho bald statement that the United
States never has fought a war of defense, although tho.
common people who did Ihe fighting wero made to
think they wero engaging in such a war.
One may at first resent this rather sweeping accusa
tion, but on calmer thought one must admit that the
subject is, after all, debatable. It cannot be denied
that our school histories are one-sided in their per
spective, although not more so than most of our his
tories written for adult consumption. "Who, having read
in his school Bancroft tho account of the war of 1812,
has not been jarred and astonished in later years at
learning that not everything that happened in that war
was to tho glory of tho United States, as tho school
history had taught us?
Discussing tho undependability of history as usually
written, the Christian Scienco Monitor says:
Who shall write tho histories to hn read and studied by
thnsn of the presont and futuro generations? Awakened to a
realliatlnn of the results of wrong thinking and wrong teaching,
surely the effort should ha to avoid patent dangers. Falsi
patriotism. If It is concelvn'hlo that such a condition of thought
can exist. Is as much to ho avoided as that unpopular pacificism
upon which tho poople of every nation have been taught to look
askance. There Is, applying to every possible human condition
and every possible human problem, an unfailing solvent. This
Is the absnluto truth regarding those conditions and problems.
This truth In not oviibIvb or hidden, once it Is honestly sought.
It can ho found, und It can be written. Hut it cannot ho written
by those who, consciously or unconsciously, nro Influenced by
prcjudlco, or by what Is misnamed patriotism.
that way." It is a condition Bad not
h theory.
Of course, a lot of consolidating
ought to have been done; should have
been accuinplihed long ago, Hut it
was not. The present legislature is
for the first time laying a sure fuuu
datiou for cousolidutiun of dt-pari'
uiems, by submitting to tha people
a constitutional amendment giving
free action, so that departments may
be merged without running into Ihe
objection of being agaiust the Con
ititution. This should iiave been done
long ago. hut it was not done.
At this late date nothing can be
done towards cutting off boards and
commiusioiiB and useless offices and
departments. J'erliaps little could :
have been done fro mine first, with '
bavo been done from Ihe first, with
many of the costly excrescences very
firmly entrenched, under the present

MR. LONGWORTH HAS LUCKY DAY

entine was good to Nicholas
Longwortb.
For not only did the day of that
good saint bring Nick a baby girl,
just IU years, lacking three days,
after he and "Princess Alice" Roose
velt were married, but that same good
day clinched the result in the contest
for speakership of the next congress
in Ixingworth's favor.
Unless some entirely unlikely and
unexpected combination can be effect
ed by the supporters of Congressman
Martin H. Madden of Illinois, before
Feb. 17, JiOugworth will emerge from
the majority caucus on that date and
the perquisites of that office.
Except for the "honor" involved,
tho post of speaker offered little
either to Longwortb or Madden. .
As floor lender of tho republicans,
Longworth has wielded during tho
last two congresses an inflenee vir

The power of Madden, who contin

weakened by his defeat for tho "high

" He will still hold the purse strings
of congress, and the congress, like
the individual, can be powerfully in

By JAMES W. IEAX
VEW 1UUK, Feb. lid. A dilapi
dated old boat buries its nose
in the dry sand of Mariner's Hnrbor.
Staten Island. Itickuty planks lead
to a tumble dow n cabin. Across the
rotting bow is scrawled "The IMs
gusted Millionaires." The decaying
hulk seems to stand there as a sym
bol of shattered romance, the dead
echo of tho call of the deep.
Around this old ship is spun a
legend of two sonfarers, Norwegian,
brothers who built the boat at the
beginning of this century, put it under
sail and set forth for their homeland.
Once iu Norway, they intended to fit
it out with engine and boiler.
And so they set out with brave
heart but became stranded on a sand
bar when only n few miles from shore.
Towed back to the beach, they refit
ted the croft nnd set snil again. That
time they met up with a storm off
Cnpe May and were all but lost when
rescued by a government cruiser and
hauled back to Staten Island.
Discouraged, the boys sold their
boat to some young fellows who or
gauir.ed a yacht club in UKU and used
the boat for a club house, uitti an
ironic sense of humor they painted
"Disgusted Millionaires'' on the boat.
And the years passed, ns tho mov
ies put it, and tho boys one by ono
married and left the club. Irony wtts
added to irony nnd the old boat now
has been converted into, n storo
house. Interest in Wall street speculation

the last, generation.
There is about him nothing of the
dictatorist brusnueness that charac
terized "Czar" Cannon. He has none
of the physical impressiveness and
statesman-like bearing of Champ
Clark.
The air of d.'gntty and aloof iciness
which has enabled Speaker (iillett to
give a certain distinction to bis reign
is entirely, Jacking'in him.
lungwort h, however, possesses an
unususl combination of ability, and
good fellowship which has made him
not only one of the most efficient
workers in the house but one of the
best liked.
He has to nn unusual degree the
knack of holding an opponent's good
will even while giving him a licking.
As a republican of the ingrained,
orthodox type, he fights hard. But
he fights fair, and be fights with a
smile.
The biggest vacancy to occur In
the house with the passing of the
