Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THESE words are written at Lake
view, where a meeting of the
Yellowstone Cut-off assomlation has
just been held.
The Yellowstone Cut-off is a high
way extending from Bedding, on the
south, to Boise, on the north. The
Yellowstone Cut-off association has
the organization that conceived It
some four years ago and has carried
it through to near completion.
The meeting here at Lakevlew waB
to set & date for the celebration
marking the completion of grading
and graveling.
THIS Is a year" of acute depression
in business. Yet here In Lakevlew
tonight are gathered representatives
from every town of importance be
tween Redding and Boise.
They are not crying on their shirt
fronts because business la bad; al
though business over In this country
la anything but good right now. The
faces gathered here are happy faces
faces of men who have done some
thing of which they are proud. The
depression, for the moment, is for
gotten. Such la the power of hope.
FOR decades upon decades, these
people over here In the great open
paces of Southeastern Oregon and
Northwestern California were as near
without transportation as a region
can be and still exist.
They watched while Oregon and
California built up their highway
system west of the mountains, and
they waited. They waited with pa
tience and tolerance, for they are a
reasonable people and they realized
that the more thickly settled and
more highly developed regions are
the ones, because they pay the bulk
of taxes, to which highway develop
ment must be brought first. '
But while they were waiting they
were laying their plans.
THIS Yellowstone Cut-off associa
tion was organized away back In
1928, and at the moment its pros
pect were anything but rosy.
California MIGHT be induced to
build up the Pit river from Redding,
through Alturas and on to Lakevlew.
At Burns, it was possible to tie Into
the projected Central Oregon high
way, and so reach Ontario and then
Boise.
But between Lakevlew and Burns
lay an almost uninhabited desert,
title to which was held by the fed
eral government and which was
therefore untaxable. The distance
ever this desert Is approximately a
hundred miles.
How to get a modern highway
built across It was a problem.
t
TJUT they organized, anyway, and
set to work. Their first ray of
hope came with the passage of the
Oddle-Colton bill, providing federal
funds for building roads across un
appropriated public domain.
Oregon was allotted C195.000 of
these funds, and these people over
here put up such a good case that
of this appropriation they secured a
total of $184,000.
This money was used to such good
purpose that with it a highway has
been graded on modern standard
from Lakevlew to Burns, and it will
soon be graveled.
! When that Is accomplished there
will be a little money left out of the
original appropriation. They watchc.
all their corners In the letting i
contracts.
WHEN construction was begun,
they held a celebration out on
the desert a few miles north of Lake
, Tiew, and from all account it must
have been a wow.
Oovernor Rolph. then mayor of San
Prandsco. was up for the ceremony,
and the first shoveirul of dirt was
thrown by Zim Baldwin of Lakevlew.
with a squatty little shovel used
some quarter of a century ago by
Southern Pacific surveyors reconnoi
terlng out north from Lakevlew for
a line of railroad that was never
butit.
Zim, short and dynamic, had thla
same shovel at tonight meeting,
and plans to present It with a flour
ish to the Cut-off aworaitlon when
the final celebration is held tome
time along in July.

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 12. (AP)
Informed of Gov. William H. Mur
ray's failure to appear on schedule at
Klamath Falls. Ore., for a speech in
the interest of his presidential cam
paign, neither his campaign head
quarters here nor his private secre
tary could throw any light on hi
whereabouts.
There was speculation that Murray
had decided to hurry back to Okla
homa City in view of developments at
the capttol, which Included a threat
by Robert Burns, acting governor, to
"shake up" ebe personnel of the chief
executive's office, styie observers
thought, might have caused Murray
to return hone.
PORTLAND. Ore., April 12. (AP)

abandoning a series of speaking en
gagements in Oregon, Governor Wil
liam H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray of Okla
homa bad mysteriously disappeared
today. With him waa Ed McDonald,
secretary of the Oklahoma highway

companion.

dismayed when they learned that
Murray had apparently dropped from
sight. A large crowd had gathered
at Klamath Falls to greet him this
morning. No word of explanation of
his absence had been received. In that
city at 1 p. m.
Disappointment Seen
Those who were with him last night
said Murray seemed disappointed that
detailed arrangements had not been
made at places at which he expected
to speak. He waa told that If ar
rangements were not satisfactory it
waa because local democrats were
unable to obtain from the candidate
an Itinerary or schedule.
McDonald waa reminded last night
that Murray had an engagement in
Klamath Falls this morning. In order
to keep his appointment It would
have been necessary for the governor
to have left Portland on the 9:50
p. m. train. McDonald was asked
if the governor expected to be ' In
Klamath Falls for the speech.
Intended Keeping Date '
He is said to have replied that
Murray "tries to keep all engage
ments." After a discussion McDonald
told local democratic state officials to
telegraph Klamath Falls that the
governor would be there.
At the hotel here where the Murray
party stopped It waa said McDonald
checked out Murray and his baecape
shortly after last night's meeting.
Hotel attendants understood the gov
ernor was to take the 9:50 o'clock
train. Othera In the hotel, however,
believed It was nearly 11 o'clock be
fore Murray left the lobby.

French Premier Cites Failure
To Mention Battleships
Non -Members Should
Keep Place Is Hint.
GENEVA, April 12. (AP) Premier
Andre Tardteu of France, representing ,
hla government? at the disarmament I
conference assailed today the disarm- !
ament proposals advanced yesterday
by Hugh S. Gibson, American repre
sentative. Mr. Gibson proposed that tanks, big
guns and gases be abolished in the
interests of security, but made no
mention of battleships, "the most
obvious aggressive weapon," said M.
Tardleu.
Abolition of certain types of ag
gressive arms will not necessarily
provide security he said, but might be
disadvantageous to an Invaded coun
try. The only means to security, he
declared, la common action against
an aggressor.
This was generally accepted as a
restatement of the French proposal
for placing offensive forces at the
disposal of the League of Nations.
In any case, the premier said, this
disarmament meeting is under the
auspices of the League of Nations, and
he suggested non-members keep that
In mind.
Maxim, Lltvinoff, Soviet commissar
for foreign affairs, renewed the Rus
sian plan for reduction of armies be
fore the conference today.
Lltvinoff proposed to reduce all
armies of above 200.000 men, Includ
ing Russia's own red army, SO per
cent. Armies of between 30,000 and
200,000 men he proposed to cut 5 per
cent and leave armies below 30,000
men untouchcrd for the present.
He proposed a similar plan for re
duction of navies and air forces.
PARIS, France, April 12. (AP)
i'ertinax, noted French political
writer, said in the Echo De Paris to
day that the American proposal at
the world disarmament conference
yesterday, to do away with tanks,
mobile heavy artillery and gasses, was
a maneuver against France.
Paris morning papers greeted the
American proposals with little show
of favor. They called the plan an
attempt to Isolate France but added
that it was frustrated by Premier
Tardleu.

STOCK EXCHANGE
E
WASHINGTON, April 13. (AP)
Determined defense of the stock ex
change was continued In testimony
to the senate banking committee to
day by its president, Richard Whit
ney, He protested against "this hue and
cry, perhaps helped by the gentlemen
of the press In regard to loaning
customers' stocks, that has been In
vogue throughout the country for
the-last two or three years."
Senator Couzens (R., Mich.) re
marked that any man who algned the
customers' agreement which Whitney
produced "must have been a goat."
In response to questions from
Couzens, Whitney said "the mini
mum margin indicated as good busi
ness by the New York stock exchange
is 25 per cent margin,"
"Do they ever go lower than 25
per cent?" asked Couzens.
"Not if we know it, air."
"Absolutely?" Couzens Inquired.
"Ves sir," said Whitney.
A motion by Coueens to postpone
further Investigation after today
until Monday to allow time to con
sider the Glass bank bill waa ap
proved. Whitney continued his testimony
after the motion was carried.
Taking the stand again today
Whitney gave the short Interest as of
Aplrl 7 as 2,840,806 shares, a decrease
of 214,033 from the previous market
day.
Between the opening of Aplrl 1 and
April 7, "during which period a very
drastic decline had taken place," he
said, "there haa been a reduction in
the abort account of 420,503 shares,"
Claude Branch of Providence, R. I,,
the committee's counsel, said It did
not seem to him "at the present time
worth while to go In detail into pre
vious short accounts."
"You merely desire the firms in
which short accounts reside at the
present time?" asked Whitney
Branch replied It was agreeable to
him.
He asked If a oh art submitted
yesterday by Whitney did not show
that generally an Increase In prices
was accompanied by a decrease In
short interest,
"No." Whitney said. "Usually a
decline In prices was accompanied
by a decline In abort interest."
Whitney acreed that during June,
1031, the market went up, while there
was a great decline In the short in
terest. He pointed out, however, that the
moratorium announcement came on
June 20.

WASHINGTON, April 12. (T)
Against the united opposition of ad
ministration and Democratic leaders
in congress, advocates of a G2.400,-
000,00 caah payment on the aoldlera'
bonus today pressed their case be
fore the house ways and means com
mittee. Father Charles E. Coughlln of De
trolt tu Introduced by Representa
tive Patman (D., Tex.), sponsor of the
measure, and read a statement before
a crowded committee room.
He aa!d the reconstruction finance
corporation waa hurried through the
house and senate to make available
M.000,000,000 public funds "for fi
nancing financiers and strengthening
tottering railroads."
Action Questioned.
Coughlln. who conducts a radio
program, aald that within alx weeks
of the passage of the reconstruction
act he reclved over 1.500,000 letters
saying:
"If the government can pay $2,-
000,000,000 to the bankera and the
rallroada to whom It owea no obliga
tions, why should It not pay 12.000
000,000 to the aoldlera to whom It
recognizee an obligation?"
Coughlln said to pay the bonus
would enable millions of idle and
part-time veterans to purchase neces
sities. "That would put 82.000,000,
000 Into channels of commerce and
trade," he aald.
Must Revalue Dollar.
"It will compel ua to revalue Die
American dollar to the approximate
level it attained In 1029. It will prob
ably throw ua off the gold standard.
"Revaluation of the dollar will come
eventually either legally or revolt!-
tlonarlly. We have given the laat
transfusion to the sickly economic
system of thla country and soon will
have a corpse on our hands. The re
construction flnanoe corporation has
done little good.
'If we do not revalue the dollar
legally remember Russia of 1817; re
member the French revolution; re
member our own revolution of 1775."
The priest concluded by urging the
committee to give precedence "to hu
man rights over financial rights."
TAX COLLECTIONS
OVER LAST YEAR
To date the tax collection depart
ment of the aherlff'a office has turned

than $54,000, paid on current taxes,
more than twice the amount paid on
April 11. laat year, when the current
tax payments amounted to altghtly
leas than 27,000. The above figures
do not Include the "back tax," and
delinquent taxes, which are as corre
spondingly large.
The payments are regarded as a
healthy sign of returning public con
fidence and atablllty. The tax paying
continues brisk and on a par with
payments In January and February.
May 6, Is the final date for pay
ment of the first half portion of the
taxes, the delinquency penalty being
