LEGISLATURE
Next Monday Oregon’s legisla
tive assembly convenes for i t s
forty-second session. It will be
the first such assembly during
war for many years. This may
seem to indicate that it will be
concerned mainly with affairs
having to do with the prosecution
of the war. It is not likely, how
ever.
One- time state« and <x>unties
had to raise troops, supplies and
money to carry on wars. N o w
those duties are taken over' by
the national goevmment as w an
are fought by larger units o f peo
ple than formerly.
Certainly there will be prob-
- lema arising from the war. But
the main troubles that take up
the time of the legislators will
spring from Oregon itself. These
will be important enough.
In first place must be placed
the taxation troubles of the state,
rot the usual trouble, either. This
time the state has plenty of mon
ey, a surplus of it, with more
coming in a flood next March. The
question now is how to care for
this surplus so that it will do the
most good for the people of Ore
gon.
There is ro lack of hands reach
ing out for a part of it, or all.
The schools want it. the aged
want it, state employees have a
clainf on some of it, counties
would like a larger share, state
wards cry for more buildings, and,
last but not least, the ordinary
taxpayer feels that in some way
a part of this year’s prosperity
should be retained to »often the
harder taxpaying days that may
be ahead.
Oregon has an unemployment
compensation fund out of all pro
portion to any such fund ever be
fore imagined. It is growing at
the rate of nearly a million dol
lars per month. We will need
much of it to care for labor when
* the boom days are over. Yet a
balance must be made between
reducing the cost of production
new by lowering the tax and this
preparation for unemployment ro
come.
There is a demand for changes
in workmen’s compensation. It
is not sufficiently inclusive to be
an adequate insurance and there
are loop holes in it that many
have foupd.
Shall we keep on trying t o
solve the forestry problem and
the method of handling cut-over
lands, of utilization o f wood waste
which takes a surprising part of
cut timber?
There will always be a fish
problem.
Oregon wants more industry,
and looks to the legislature to
pass laws that will obtain it.
There are minor item»: Increas
es for state employees, changes
in management of state ' boards
and institutions, of (bounty gov
ernment, of game, roads, banks,
insurance companies—in f a c t ,
nearly everything that concerns
modern life comes at some time
before a legislative body.
The legislature will handle them
as best it can. If it be—as ap
pear»—composed <rf indbttrious
men with ability to gather a’nd
use information and strong enough
to be guided by that information
only, it has a chance to f o W n e -
thing for the state in the way of
aiding its progress. That is the
way legislatures must be judged

NEW CONGRESS
When the 78th congress met
Wednesday it marked the end of
the new deal, or, at least, a ces?
sat ion of new deal public policy
for a short period. »
There is to be a change in na
tional philosophy if the words of
congressional leaders can be fol
lowed.
Since 1933 <the new deal admin
istration has tried
out many
kinds of social change— often
called reform. It has given labor
nearly everything it wanted: it
has spread public imoney over the
land in a wide, deep and cont'nu-
ous stream; it ha» subsidized far
mers and rendered their demands
for a proportionate share of the
national income ineffective and
their name anathema in the-minds
of city people; it has built many
projects of value only to those
employed on them. Its prosecu
tion of the war is accused of be
ing dilatory: it caused the nation’s
most disastrous military surprise
attack; , it has withheld informa
tion from the people.
Leaders of both parties, al
though not those in administration
favor in congress, say this is to
change.
There is to be vigorous prose
cution of the war with general
agreement with military men in
charge of the war. There is to
lie a curtailment of bureaucracy
and of federal spending not relat
ed to the war. . There will be e-
nough of that.
To this newspaper such a pro
gram is all to the good. It comes
from an interpretation of the vo
ters’ voice at the last election.
There is n» doubt that many of
the things started by the new deal
will continua. Every administra
tion starts some thing that is held
good by the nation. The move
ment toward governmental con
trol of everything has been halt
ed. Part of this is because of the
rise in the respect o f industry,
which, from being the national
whipping boy, has become the sa
viour of the nation in time of
war.

CHAPTER I
4
From the high edge of Mogul to
the floor of Powder Desert was a
sheer drop of fourteen hundred and
sixty feet; and even on the quietest
day a stream of warm air from the
desert boiled up the face of the rim,
so that if a man stood at the break-
off and tossed his hat outward it
invariably sailed back to him. Clay
Morgan had shown this to his
daughter Janet long ago. It was a
part of their ritual on the trip to
town, and as soon as they reached
tiie rim this afternoon, she remind
ed him of it again; h ereup on he
sailed his hat across the rim, caught
it on the rebound, and witnessed her
deLghted smile. Afterwards they
turned downgrade on a road steeply
and narrowly cut against the face
of the mountain.
Z.s they descended she began to
recite lines of "Hiawatha,” in prep
aration for a school play. Riding
slightly back of her. Clay Morgan
watched her small arms gesture
and her naturally sober face lighten
and grow faintly dramatic. To him
it was a matter of ncWr-ending as
tonishment that one nine-year-old
girl's head could hold so much.
The silence and the slow way she
had, of judging people came from
him. The vivid imagination and the
growing beauty came from her
mother. It was something Clay Mor
gan had watched for. through the
years—and yet, much as he had ex
pected it, it still was strange to see
in this girl the image of a woman
nine years dead, to know that the
tempestuous Lila who had been his
wife now reached out of the grave
to remind him of the one brief and
violent and miserable and beautiful
year of their marriage. In the be
ginning she had said she loved him;
she had died hating him.
Powder Desert began at the bot
tom of the grade. Sand and sage
brush hummocks, built by the cart
wind, lay before them; around these
lumpy barriers, high as a man's
shoulders, meandered the deep twin
ruts of the road. This September
day's sun was haft-down in the west
and heat lay heavy on the flat;
and in the near distance, on the
bencIUand at the head of the desert,
the houses of War Pass made an
irregular outline. Toward this cat
tle town they traveled, Janet
dreaming her nine-year-old dreams
in sober stillness. Clay Morgan hold
ing his clear intimations of trouble
ahead.
Turning at the corner of Gentry’s
corral. Clay Morgan faced the
length of Main Street, with its dou
ble row of angular wooden buildings
and its deep golden dust. Under the
courthouse locusts at the comer of
Main and Stage, a large group of
men idly waited; and he knew then
that the trial of the rustler, Ollie
Jacks, was still unfinished.
He dismounted by the stable and
permitted both horses to nose into
the water trough before tying them
to the rack. Janet said: “I am go
ing to Ann McGarrah’s, Daddy.”
She always had a quick smile for
him when she mentioned Ann Mc
Garrah’s name, as though there
might be some secret involved. "I
think,” she added, "we will eat sup
per there” —and watched him a mo
ment with her observant eyes.
"You seem pretty sure of that.”
Morgan remained near the sta
ble’s hitching-rack to roll up a quick
smoke. But he was never a man
to let his eyes be idle; thus now,
while his fingers tapered off the cig
arette his glance ran down the
street, past the courthouse and post
office and the Long Grade saloon,
past the Mountain House hotel and
beyond that to the little cluster of
brick and dobe buildings of Old
Town. Two cross-streets dropped
from a higher level of the hillside.
Up there sat the high, square, iron-
ornamented houses owned by the
wealthier merchants and the big
cattlemen who liked to winter their
families in town. This was four
o’clock and already the street was
in shadow, though the far desert
burned up its brown-gray glitter.
Jesse Rusey, the town’s marshal,
cruised the walk—short, broad body
swinging a little. He had the shoul
ders of a wfrestler; above the sweep
of his mustaches was a glance as
cool as flint This man had a kind
of rocky solidness, a kind of formid
able courtesy. He said, "How are
yolg Clay?” and passed by.
Charley Hillhouse and Hack
Breathitt broke from the courthouse
group and walked toward him, their
boots puffing up the street’s dust;
but for a moment he remained
slackly by the hitching-rack, his
mind picking awry at the mystery
of Jesse Rusey. 'ibis town marshal
had been in War Pass for twenty
years, yet nobody knew him, or
knew what he thought, or knew
where his sympathies actually lay.
Hillhouse and Breathitt came
cheerfully forward and for a mo
ment these three fast friends stood
by the hitching rack and swapped
gossip, pleased to be together again.
All of them had grown up' in tke

house a slanting, skeptic glance.
"Your boss is gpttin’ pretty large
for his pants, Charley. But then he
always was that way.”
Ben Herendeen owned Three

Herendeen’s foreman, loyal to the
core. Hillhouse said in a mild voice:

“After all. Hack, it was Ben’s

They moved toward the Long
Grade saloon, three abreast. Direct
ly opposite, under the locust trees.
Clay noticed the crowd grouped
around Ben Herendeen—Gurd Grant
and Lige White, both big cattlemen,
and Sheriff Ed Nickum. and a few
smaller ranchers like Hamp Brig
ham and Vance Ketchell. Heren
deen’s riders, with a few townsmen,
made up the rest of the crowd.
Hack Breathitt got a bottle, two
glasses, and a bunch of cigars. They
wenCto a corner table and sat down.
Hack Breathitt passed the cigars
to Morgan, poured a drink for Hill
house and for himself and settled
deep in the chair. For that little
interval he was as relaxed as he
could ever be, still smiling a little,
still with the sparkle of secret
amusement in his eyes. He said,
”To law and order," and downed
the drink.
"You,” said Hillhouse tolerantly,
"are an ornery son-of-a-gun.”

murmured Hack. "There** one hell

Charley Hillhouse. who was a

nodded.
Ereathitt started to speak but was
stopped by quick-rising talk on the
street. A man struck the swinging
doors of the saloon with both fists
and rushed in. He said, in ii half
shout, "They let Ollie Jacks free.”
and ran out. The conversation in
the saloon rose at once to a noisy
pitch.
Hack Breathitt grinned. “I’d like
to see Ben Herendeen’s face right
now.”
Cjiarley Hillhouse answered irrit
ably. "If it was your beef. Hack, you
wouldn’t make a joke of it."
Hack Breathitt had his moments
of wisdom; he had his far thoughts.
"There's two kinds of people In this

"Ben’s got nothing against you."
said Charley Hillhouse. .
Hack Breathitt showed Hillhouse

That was all. These three rose
and crossed the room, pushing
through the doors. Ben Herendeen
remained under the locust trees,
with Llge White and Gurd Grant and

showed it. “Didn’t I tell you?”
Hack Breathitt removed his hat
