Professor Einstein urpes tho
lT.nit(;d States to prevent wars.
How should the Tinted
Stales prevent wars, whie.h
start in Europe, or elsewhere,
outside of the United States?
Should wo become mixed up
in them, and again send ten
billions of dollars, mid three
millions of men, as we did last
. time! No, thanks.
How could we prevent them
An Italian is arrested in France
with plans of an important
French naval base, and other
plans for destroying that base
with Italian airplanes.
4. A smaller spark than that
has started a war. Could we
prevent it!
-
A foolish old farmer hitched
himself up in a yoke with a
bull calf, and, as he went down
hill, yelled: "Stop us, some-
body." He should not have
hitched himself up.
Europe should not go to war,
and Professor Kinstein should
not expect us to prevent the
nations from fighting each
other.
That is their business, not
ours. He would not say: "I
wish some American would pre
vent my fighting a friend in
Poland."
Congressman Tilson says the
McNary bill is the "dole" in
disguise. For some reason, ev
ery professional "one hundred
per cent American" seems to
have a horror of the dole.
Is the dole so much worse
than the bread line! Is it bet
ter to let a man stand in line
two or three howl's to get n
miserable cup of coffee and a
piece of bread than to give him
and his family, without waste,
and directly, enough to keep
from starving that is, if you
realty want to keep him from
starving.

By the way, Senator Borah
warns this government that, if
it insists on boycotting Rus
sia, and hampering trade with
Russia, somebody else will get
the trade that Russia, with de
cent treatment, would give to
us. And if that happens, ae!
cording to Senator Borah, we
really shall have the dole. Wise

restricting trade. Tho Soviet

BOND VOTE
ED
BY NORBLAD
Governor Favors Special
Election Next Year to Aid
Unemployment and Give
State New Prison and In
stitution Space Up to
Legislature.
SALEM, Doc. 1 3. (P) A state
bond issuo for $3,000,000, to bo
expended during the next two
years in the construction of stale
bulldlngfi, which would give somo
relief from ihe unemployment sit
uation and at the same time pro
vide much needed buildings at
state institutions, is advocated by
flovernor Xorblnd. He urges that
this program be adopted by the
1931 legislature and referred to the
people at a special election early
in the year.
In a statement today the gover
nor mentions the building needs of
the state institutions of higher
learning and also at the state peni
tentiary, the institution for the
feeble minded, the insane hopsitals
at Salem and Pendleton and the
tuberculosis hospitals at Salem and
The Dalles. For the five latter in
stitutions the state board of control
has already decided to ask the leg
islature for a total of about $460,
000 for buildings during the next
bfennium. The governor suggests,
though he does not actually recom
mend, a complete new stute prison
plant.
The governor believes the pro
posed bonds should run for long
terms, maturing in 20 or 25 years
with retirement after the fifth
year in 15 or 20 equal yearly In
stalments. He believes the state
could borrow on the bonds for
from 4 to 4 per cent, which, he
says, "on nn issue of $3,000,000,
would d'iring the first five years
require nn outlay of $1 20,000 to
$2r,000, und, as they fall due
after the fifth year, an additional
$150,000 per year."
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 13. (P)
Employment of not less than 1750
men early in the coining, year
will he possible under plans de
veloped by the Mate highway com
mission, H. II. Van Dugcr, com
mission chairman, told the state
association of county judges and
commissioners here today.
Van Dtizer asked the county
courts to certify men in their
counties who apply for highway
work. He said unemployed beads
of families and men with depen
dents would be given preference.
"The men will be put to work
on widening projects in every
county in the state, except Mult
nomah, with pick and shovel," he
said. "This will be more expensive
than doing the work by machine
ry but we will provide employ
ment for not less than 1750 men
for three months, six days a
week."
Van Duzer said the wages
would not be high but would be
sufficient to carry the unemploy
ed through the crisis.
W. B. Dillard, Lane county
clerk, was elected president of
