Even here in Oregon the "sys

Portland institution. And that big
institution is probably hooked up
with some other big institution
which in turn is dominated by
Wall Street. The House of Morgan
and the House of Rockefeller have
long arms. And those arms are
reaching, reaching!
Among recent news items is
one to the effect that fifteen hun

the New Deal and in a movement
to defend the cause of "rugged in

The China Clipper will get out of

got out of date and the steam
boats are going to get out of date.

Townsend Club
To Hear Address
By A. M. Williams
The public hearing at which
City Recorder J. Q. Adams was to
have been given an oportunity to
show cause why the office of city
recorder should not be declared
vacant ,and which was to have
been held Thursday night, has
been postponed until next Monday
night.
The announcement of postpone
ment was made Wednesday morn
ing by Mayor T. S. Wiley, after
receiving a request for such action
from Mr Adams on account of the
illness of the latter .who had not
been able to be at his office Tues
day.
A resolution charging the city
recorder with alleged carelessness
and inattention to his duties, and
citing him to show cause why the
office should not be declared vac
ant, was adopted by the city coun
cil at a meeting held Tuesday
night of last week. At that time
Mr. Adams demanded a public
hearing. He declared that the
charges would be fully and com-
pletely answered by documentary
evidence.
While the city council unani
mously adopted the resolution for
a hearing, it must not be inferred
that such action is utter proof
that the charges against the city
recorder can, or should be, sus
tained. The hearing on those
charges is yet to be held. Opinion
should not run rampant unul both
sides are fully heard. Let the hear
ing decide and then let there be
peace.
