Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE Interstate commerce commis
sion, whose business at first was
to regulate and restrain the railroads,
but whose present big Job la to save
them from bankruptcy If it can, rec
ommends that trucks and busses, as
well as Vie railroads, be regulated
by law.
WHAT do you and, I, who are Just
common, ordinary citizens, think
about that? The chances are we
don't think much about It, one way
or the other; regarding it as some
body else's problem. (
But if WE were in the grocery
business, and were strictly regulated
by law and were told exactly what
we could do and what we couldn't do
and how much we could charge for
w.hat we had to sell and Just bow
much we must pay our employees,
whereas our competitor across the
street WASN'T regulated, but was
free to do as he pleased, cutting prices
whenever he chose and paying bis
help what he liked, we would do a
LOT of thinking about it.
And we would want our competitor
regulated by law, the same as we
were, so that he would no longer
have an advantage over us.
HERE is a statement with w.hlch
most thinking people will agree:
If toe railroads aren't permitted to
help themselves out of their present
difficulties, their financial troubles
will get so bad that the government
would have to lake them over. That
would mean a fundamental and tre
mendous change In our institutions.
This writer, for one, doesn't want
to see that happen.
XJOT long ago the Sutherlln gun
club released a number of wild
turkeys in Douglas county, hoping
that In time they would propagate,
aa the Chinese pheasant has, and
thus provide a new and attractive
sport for Southern Oregon.
A few days ago three men from
an adjoining county were arrested
and charged with killing these re
cently released and still quite tame
birds. They pleaded guilty.
It takes all kinds of people to make
a world, doesn't it?
fVREGON'S fish and game are
among the most important re
sources of this state. They mean a
great deal to you and me, whether
or not we ever hunt or fish.
They mean a great deal for this
reason. They bring people here from
other states to enjoy our great out
doors. These people spend money
when they come. The money they
bring here and spend helps to offset
the money we SEND OUT OP ORE
GON for such tilings as automobiles
and tires and gasoline, thus adding
to our bank deposits and providing
more credit with which to do busi
ness and provide employment.
So, If we are wise, we will not
waste these resources w.hich, If right
ly used, will add to our prosperity.
-
IN THIS year of 1932, which doesn't
rate as a very active year, this
country will spend for new highways
a little better than a BILLION AND
A THIRD dollars. This figure la
vouched for by the federal bureau of
public roads. In the same year we
shall spend for new automobiles to
run on these roads at least a billion
dollars more.
A lot of gloomy people try to tell
us thst the day of BIO THINGS In
this country Is over. Spending two
and a third BILLION dollars In a
bad year for new roads and new
automobiles to run on them doesn't
sound much aa If the day of big
things in this country is over, docs
It?
Don't pay much attention to
gloomy talkers. They never did any
body much good.

Commenting on his decision the
governor first reviewed hla study of
the case and stated he approached
the hearing of Mooney's pardon ap

"with an open mind" and "In a
spirit of absolute fairness and with
out any bias or prejudice of any

Thorough Study Made. ,
He stated Judge Matt I. Sullivan,
bis legal adviser, made a thorough
study of all evidence available In
the case and rendered a report set
ting forth basic facts, "material to
the application, disclosed by our in
vestigation." The governor recalled that Mooney's
case had been presented to the state
supreme court on four occasions and
once to the United States supreme
court.
He also recalled that three gov

William D. Stephen. Governor

"For the reasons Indicated." the
governor stated, "the application of
Thomas J. Mooney for & pardon Is
hereby denied."
BAN FRANCISCO, April 21. (AP)
Governor James Rolph's decision
on the pardon application of Thom
as J. Mooney marked the climax
of a 15-year fight which started
with the conviction of Mooney and
Warren K. Billings 'on charges of
bombing the San ' Francisco Pre
paredness clay parade of 1918. The
controversy over Mooney's convic
tion became International In Its
ramifications.
In the early stages of the fight
President Woodrow. Wilson and other
high officials of the government
were among those to add their
voices to the demand for executive
clemency for Mooney. Trial Judge,
Jurors, lesser prosecuting officials,
private citizens and organized labor
sought vainly to have the state
give Mooney another chance to vin
dicate himself by trial or to per
suade three governors to grant ex
ecutive clemency. Except for a clra-
mutation of Mooney's death sen
tence to life Imprisonment, all these
were unfruitful. i
Walker Takes Interest

New York City; Frank P. Walsh,

BY TERRIFIC WIND
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aplrl 21.
(AP) King Winter, playing a belat
ed encore on the Pacific coast, left
blizzards, snow, cold rains , high
winds and badly Interrupted ship
ping and air schedules in various
sections of the territory today.
The brunt of the storm apparently
struck southern California coastal
areaa where numerous fishing boats
were destroyed when driven ashore
by a wind that reached a velocity of
50 miles an hour. No lives were lost.
The coastwise steamer Yale and
the navy anker Neches scraped sides
in the harbor at San Pedro when the
passenger ship became uncontrollable
in the high wind. Slight damage
waa done.
Although the wind had died down
cnnlderably this morning, coast guard
cutters were endeavoring to save the
fishing barge Melrose, which snapped
its anchor during the night and was
drifting toward the rocks near Ban
Pedro. Five men are aboard the ves
sel and fear for their safety was felt
if the vessel went on the rocks.
The high wind In southern Cali
fornia delayed regular shipping and
air schedules, many air lines calling
off scheduled trips and steamships
arriving hours late. A heavy sea was
running.
In the northwest section of the
coast light snows were reported in
the mountains and high winds in the
lowlands. In Idaho a blizzard raged.
As far south as Truckee, In the
mountains west of Reno, snow was
reported.

BALLOT BID US
BY LARGE MARGIN
Printing of tn bsllots for the pri
mary election May 20. was yesterday
awarded by the county clerk's office
to the Mall .Tribune commercial
printing department on competi
tive bid, for $250 the low bid. The
other bidders were the Dally News
Publishing company, who submitted
a bid for 307.e7, and the Marshall-
Smlth-Leonard printing concern with
a bid of t359.eS.
For several trs the county clerk's
office has apportioned the ballot
printing betweon the Mall Tribune
Job department and the Dally News
the Mall Tribune being given pri
mary ballot printing and the Dally
News, the printing of the fall bal
lots. In 1028. when the Dally News was
launched. It was assigned the print
ing of the general election ballots,
and received therefore the sum of
$841.40, according to the county
clerk records. The same year the
Mall Tribune was granted the pri
mary ballot work, and received in
payment the lesser aum of $565.05,
In 1030, the Dally News received
$842.15 for the general election bsl
lots, and the Mall Tribune $647.15
for printing the primary ballots.
The marked saving to the ta
payers thia year, Is generally at
tributed to the Introduction of com
petitive bidding, the decline In pro
duction costs, and the fact that
nearly half of this yoar's ballots are
of a much smaller size, as a result
of the Introduction of the non-partl-
san supreme court ballot.
The primary ballots for each elec
tion consists of two sets, one for the
Republican party and one for the
Democrats, with official and sample
bellow for each party. In printing
the primary ballots, the law says:
When two or more persons are
csndldates for th enomlnalton to the
same office, the county clerk shall
divided the total number of ballots
Into sets so aa to provide a substan
tial rotation of all the names of the
respective candidates, beginning with
the form arranged In alphabetical or
der, thereafter rotating by removing
one name from the top of the list,
fo- each nomination or office, and
placing aald name at the bottom of
the list for esoh successive set "f
balots.
This Is done so the name of each
candidate, regardless of the number
of candidates for sac office, shall
appear at the head of the Hat on
a nequal number of ballots. Thia
necessitated rotating names on 13
different offices In 1028 on the Re
publican ballot and four different
piacej on the Democratic. Changes
were also made for each of the 58
precincts In the county on each
party ballot. This required a great
deal of additional time and care and
mi all done by the Mall Tribune
lob department.
At the general election there la
only one ballot, not two as In the
primary the name of party candi
dates all appear on the one ballot
and there Is no rotating of names
aa on both primary ballots, and bo
ohanges are made on the ballot, ex
cept the names of the precincts,
which Is also dune on the primary
ballots.

DAWES CONDEMNS
BONUS PAYMENTS
IN FIATJORRENCY
Such Issue Would Have
Disastrous Effect On
Country's Currency, De
clares General at Hearing
WASHINGTON, April 31 (AP)
In characteristically forceful lan
guage. Charles G. Dawes condemned
demagoguery today before the house
ways and means committee to pre
sent a powerful plea against full
payment of the bonus.
He called Wall street a "peanut
stand" and aald too much stress
was laid upon Its activities, while
the mass of the people was becom
ing more optimistic.
Withdrawals Cease.
Withdrawals from banks have
ceased, Dawes said In outlining the
operations of the reconstruction cor
poration which he heads.
He warned that inflation of the
currency would have a disastrous ef
fect upon the nation's monetary and
credit system. The two billion- dol
lar bonus would be paid in new
currency under th Patman bill,
which he opposed.
Dawes said that up to April 10.
the reconstruction corporation had
loaned $343,248,000 to 1630 banks
and trust companies.
Dawes said the purposes of the
corporation was the relief of the
people of the United States,
Loans Reviewed.
"The method congress chose waa
loans to 13 types of institutions."
Dawes rapidly reviewed loans by
his corporation stressing that of
tne total loanea to names 33 per
cent waa to banka located In towns
with less than 10,000 and 68 per
cent In towns of leas than 100,000.
Reading with dispatch a mass of
figures, Dawes raised hla voice to
say:
"There has been some comment
to the effect that the reconstruction
finance corporation favors large
banks aa opposed to- small banks.
The Important thing to the recon
struction finance corporation is the
number of depositors affected."
He discussed the Missouri Pacific
Railroad loan of 917,100,000 of which
fi.8S0.000 went to New York banks.
Including J. P. Morgan & company.
Rail Loan Secured.
Pounding the table. Dawea said:
"Payment of thlr loan held by
New York banks had been demanded
and an extension refused. The loan
to the Missouri Paclflo company
was approved by the Interstate com
merce commission and In the Judg
ment of the reconstruction finance
corporation la adequately secured.
It was made upon what is re
garded as a safe and reasonable
business basis, not primarily for
the benefit of the railroad company
or the banks as such, but for the
benefit of the thousands of Investors
In the bonds and securities of the
railroad and In the general public
Interest."
When he concluded reading a pre
pared statement on the status of
the corporation, Rep. Ratney asked
whether the corporation "would
