Comment
. on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
X"HE UNITED STATES says to Eu-
rope:
"If you are going to go on spend
ing vest auma for huge armament,
we shall expect you to pay ua the
war debt you owe us."
SUPPOSE your neighbor owed you
aioo, and on every possible occa
sion he protested tearfully to you
that he couldn't pay because he had
no money.
Then suppose you saw this neigh
bor patronizing the bootlegger regu
larly, paying out large sums of good
money for bad liquor.
What would you think? What
would you say?
THE CHANCES are you would say
to him:
Look nere; If you can, find the
money with which to buy bootleg
booze at high prices, you can find
the money with which to pay the
debt you owe me. So either quit
patronizing the bootlegger or quit
asking me to reduce your debt."
That Is exactly what the United
States la saying to Europe, and to
this WTlter It sounds like hard com
mon sense.
AT THE achool election up in The
Dalles the other day, they voted
en thta question:
"Shall teachers who use tobacco,
even In their own bomea and entirely
apart from their work, be given 'Con
tracts to teach in the schools of
this city?"
The answer of the voters, by
fairly largo majority, was: "Yea."
M
THE P.OINT RAISED, Of course,
by the question on the ballot
at The Dalles la this: .
"Does the teacher whd uses to
bacco, even in his own home and
mway from hla work, Bet a bad ex
ample to young people, thus break
ing down their moral fiber and lead
ing them to form bad habits?"
This la assuming, for the sake of
argument, that smoking la a bad
habit.. Some people think it la.
Others think it isn't.
BUT SUPPOSE we agree that smok.
lng by the very young la a habit
that should be discouraged. There
Is ample medical testimony to that
effect. The question that then arises
la this:
"How shall we go nhout it to keep
children from WANTING to learn
to smoke?"
If they WANT to learn to smoke,
they probsbly WIIJj learn.
IP YOU are a" smoker, where did
you learn to smoke? Out behind
the barn, probably, If there was a
barn handy, and In some equally se
cret place If there wasn't.
And the chances are you got a
MUCH bigger thrill out 6f doing
something that was forbidden than
out of the act of smoking Itself,
which probably made you sick and
thoroughly miserable.
ryHB POINT la that it wee the
thrill of doing the forbidden that
kept you at It, in splft of your nau
seated and heaving stomach.
Human nature, you know. Is hu
man nature. Mother Eve was tola
she musfnt est the spple, and forth
with she went and ATE the apple,
because she wanted to find out
what would happen If she did.
Her descendants have been follow
ing In her footsteps ever since.
nriHEBE are things, of course, that
we MUST forbid. Murder, for
example. And robbery. And a lot
of thlnga that Interfere with the
right of OTHER PEOPLE to life,
liberty and the pursuit of hspplnese
We CANT let every big bully who
feels the urge to do so go about
killing and robbing and bulldozing
The COMBINED might of the ma
jority must be made superior to the
strong arm of the selfish and wlitui
Individual.
That la what law and order are
for.
But In the case of personal habiu.
such as smoking, which concern the
Individual hlmelf much more closely
than they concern anybody else. H
Is the opirson of this wrtter, who
may be wrong and doesn't wish to
set himself up as an Infallible n.i-

Upper House Adds Direct
Relief Loan Measure to
Force House Considera
tionHoover Veto Seen
WASHINGTON, June 23. (AP)
The $2,300,000,000 Democratic unem
ployment relief program was approved
today by the aenate.
The gigantic relief bill was passed
without a record vote amid a chorus
of ayea. i
The senate passed the entire Demo
cratic program in one bill adding
at the last moment the (300.000,000
measure for direct relief loans to
states, which it approved two weeks
ago.
A presidential veto was freely pre
dicted by administration senators In
view of the bill's provision for
9500.000,000 public works bond issue,
to which President Hoover Is op
posed. The final form of the measure is
still a matter of speculation, how
ever, as it carried to conference with
it the 2,300,000.000 Oarner rellet
bill which was passed by the house.
A compromise will be worked out.
The senate added trie $300,000,000
bill In order to get in conference
because the refusal of house leaders
to consider the measure separately.
The bill also would authorize a
$1,600,000,000 increase in the bor
rowing power of the reconstruction
corporation for loana on self -liquidating
construction projects.
Of this sum $40,000,000 would be
allocated to disposing of agricultural
surpluses abroad.

SEES NO SAVING
PORTLAND, Ore., June 33. (AP)
Opposition to the proposed consoli
dation of the University of Oregon
and Oregon State college on the cam
pus at Corvallls, aa proposed by the
Marlon County Taxpayers' league, waa
expressed by Governor Julius L.
Meier in an official statement, re
leased yesterday, to Henry Zorn, the
president of the lesgue.
The governor said he was "of the
opinion that the proposed measure
would not be conducive to savings
to the taxpayera but on the contrary
would result In large economic
losses."
Single Chancellor Better
Both the taxpayers of the state and
higher education will, in the opinion
of the governor, "be better aerved by
the merger of the management of
these higher Institutions of learning
under a single chancellor, aa con
templated by the act creating the
state board of higher education."
Replying to charges by Zorn that
the state board of higher education
la using state funds to send staff
members of the University of Oregon
and university alumni officiate on
speaking trlpa against the meaaure
Initiated by the Marlon league, Gov-
ernor Meier aald:
"I fully agree with you that the
funda appropriated for the mainte
nance and operation of the lnstltu
tlon of higher learning ahould not
be used for or against the proposed
legislation, and I have asked Dr. E.
E. Lindsay, secretary of the board.

ROOSEVELT'S FOES
Alfalfa Bill Says Nominee
Will Not Be New York
Governor Smith Chides
Claim of Pledged Votes
CHICAGO, June 33. (AP) A new
voice was raised agalns the nomina
tion of Franklin D. Roosevelt today
aa the forces of the New York gover
nor took charge of the resolutions
committee and sought to make eco
nomic Issues instead of prohibition
the dominant theme.
Two more presidential candidates
arrived Governor William H. Mur
ray of Oklahoma and former Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri.
Murray said the presidential nomi
nee would not be Roosevelt.
Later, Alfred E. Smith, the vigor
ous campaigner of 1928, told news
papermen he did not believe a can
didate would be named on the first
ballot. He la one of the strongest op
ponents of Roosevelt.
For Economy Emphasis
Gilbert M. Hitchcock, the Roose
velt picked chairman of the resolu
tions committee, said as he opened
Its first session the prohibition issue
should be met, but the platform
should emphasize economic Issues.
Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City,
N, J., floor manager for Smith, laugh
ed at a report Smith and Roosevelt
hsd agreed upon Owen D. Young as
the presidential nominee In the event
of a convention deadlock.
At his regular preas conference
Smith was asked what he. thought of
the big Jtooaevelt map at headquar
ters which shows 691 votes Instruct
ed, pledged and claimed for the New
York governor.
i"As an exhibit It looks good," Smith
said. "The Idea waa stolen from the
antl-saloon league. Wayne B. Wheel
er fixed up a map like that and
painted In the dry states as blue and
the red eta tee aa wet and used It to
Impress the state legislatures."
Too Much Territory
Smith added the Roosevelt map
showed more territory than popula
tion.
He aald there was a contest in Min
nesota and that a "stop light" ahould
be put on that state until the con
test was settled.
"According to that map there axe
only two or three little places that
ain't for Roosevelt. Those little places
are really big places. They have a lot
of population.
"I didn't see Pennsylvania on there,
What color la that? What is my col
or Brown?"
Informed he waa credited with
about 10 Pennsylvania delegates the
former governor said "there will hv
to be more than that."
Asked If he had seen James A. Par
ley. manager for governor Roosevelt,
Smith said they had met.
"Have you called Governor Roose
velt since you came here?"
No Call From Roosevelt
"I know that number well. It
hasn't called me yet."
Informed William O. McAdoo had
expressed a desire to talk to him,
Smith said: "I'm not adverse to It."

Nurse Tells
Of Hutton
LOS ANGELES, June 33. (AP) '
The cozy divan of Myrtle St. Pierre,

waa trundled back Into the trial to
day of the a.no.OOO breach of promise
suit brought against the singing hus
band of Almee Semple Mcpherson,
the evsngellst, by the twice married
nurse.
Professions of love and tender hand
kissing episodes were recounted by
Miss St. Pierre but the telling of
them waa In sharp contraat to the
manner In which she said Hutton
executed them. Scenes, Intended to
be gentle, were blssted with harsh
ness aa she and Hutton 'a attorney,
persistent cross questioner with a
penchant for imnute detail, wmt
down the rocky rc-i to Dubllr. In
testing her memory.
Once the court had to restrain the
lawyer, Mark Jones, for the hearty
manner In which he couched hi',
questions. "Please do not yell st tie
witness," Superior Judge nnth id
monlshed, but It wsa not again long
before the lawyer and the wltr. ess
were batting at a .400 clip In their
wordy exchanges.
She relnted how, the first week
after they were introduced to one an

WESTERN MEXICO
MEXICO OOT, June 33. (API
Mexican relief agencies were concen
trated today on the task of alleviat
ing the Buffering of thousand, cf
people in towna along the west coast
which were virtually wiped out yes
terday by a tldsl wave that took a
toll of two score lives.
Accurate check of the easualtlea
wss not possible today because of the
disorganized condition of the terri
tory. Collma reported that the known
number injured there waa 8-, but It
could not be determined how many
Uvea were lost.
Oovernor Salvador Saucedo of the
state of Collma left today for Cuy
utlan, where the wave atruck hard
est, to take charge of the situation.
Before he left he called Mexico City
to anneal for public aid.
He said the death toll at Cuyutlan,
a resort town, now ha: passed forty
with additional mlaslng and more
than 100 Injured. The wave was pre
ceded by sharp earthquake ahocke.
Two relief tralna left here for Cuy
utlan. The first train evacuated 1,400
persona from the town.
The governor reported the tidal
wave swept Inland for more thsn a
mile over an 18-mlle front, leveling
everything in Ita path.
Soldiers were searching for addi
tional victims, and burning thou
sands of dead fish left on the beach
when the wavea receded. Danger of
dtaease made necessary temporary
evacuation of the Inhabitants.

"You're sure Dsvld kissed you?"
"Yes."
"Did you kiss him?"
Miss St. Pierre dropped her shoul
ders wearily, asked for the smelling
sails. Inhaled a draught, which
brought her bolt upright, and ex
ploded: "Mr. Jones, that la a strsnge ques
tion. When one person kisses an
other, naturally the person that la
kissed Is also kissing the other. That's
what a kiss Is."
She told how they sat on Vie divan
and David poured forth hie love for
her and trying - to put hla arma
around her, ehe resisted so ha bent
low and caressed her hsnds. But
she dented she waa in love with him
then, believing him only a "nice,
pressing gentleman." Other thlnga
huppened while they aat on the dl

ure by Hutton that he had a limp.
He pulled up hla trouser leg and ehe
Inspected a deformity. Later In the
evening, the profession of love, born
within e week of their meettng, grew
Into proposal of msrrlage. Then he
tried a kiss and ahe warned him:
"We must not have any more of these
