I am not asking for your sympathy. This is not a personal

principle for which my ancestors fought and bled, at the Battle

P. S. Don't agrte with you on this Good Government league

I think it an excellent idea. I don't believe there is a place
in the country that needs a good government organization, more
than the. Rogue River valley.
Let this league BE TRUE
government, as IS good government, and the miracle we have
all been hoping for will have
throw overboard this crazy dissension and strife, return to
normal peace and harmony, and get down to work and construc
tive progress agnin.
For the very basis of good government is respect for our
courts, devotion to law and order, eternal warfare Against what
is falBe, and eternal devotion to what is true. Good government
depends, not" only upon getting dishonest and crooked officials
out of office, but supporting conscientious and honest officials
who are IN office, upholding their hands and keeping them
there.
The devotion of good government to justice absolute
justice is fanatical. It; is the cornerstone of suoh an organi-
zation I laitn,
And justice means, assuming
vidual until his guilt HAS BEEN PROVED. It means, the
elimination not only of PARTISAN politics, but PERSONAL
politics j turning a deaf ear to self interested propaganda on one
hand, to rumor and hearsay on the other.
It moans oleaving to the straight line of truth, letting the
chips fall where they may, in the immediate situation in the

Codding case AND ALL THE OTHER CASES,
And only when that baa BEEN DONE, when all the faots
that CAN be obtained have been obtained, free from all preju
dice and all passion can any proper action be taken.
If the FACTS show there has been crookedness or corrup

league turn over thqse facts to the proper authorities, and let
those guilty, NOT ONLY BE KICKED OUT OP OFFICE, BUT
BE GIVEN THE PUNISHMENT THEY DESERVE.
If the fncts show the EXACT CONTRARY, show that the
charges made against eertain publio officials are unfounded,
have been made up out of whole cloth, to allow a small group
of self seeking politicians to gain power and "cash in" on

A Split in Technocracy What Now?
Rival Camps To Carry On, Say Scott And Rautenstrauch, But Emphasis Will Differ
By i. B. BRACKET!
NEW YORK (AP) Two hard
Jawed Technocrats have spilt their
own Technocracy
Howard Scott, tall, lean, vigorous,
determined, exciting In speech, gen
erous In gesture ... '
Walter Rautenstrauch, not so tall,
Just as decisive, determined, quiet,
calm, undemonstrative ...
So now, whither .technocracy?
Rautenstrauch, head of the depart
ment cf industrial engineering at Co
lumbia university, resigning from
technocracy, says the research which
haa been progressing under the direc
tion of Howard Scott will go on but
not under the name of technocracy.
Scott to Continue Research.
Scott, atlll Technocracy'a director,
saya the research will go on no mat
ter what happens at Columbia and
under the name ot technocracy.
Rautenstrauch, together with Baa-
sett Jones, electrical engineer and
mathmetlclan: Frederick Ackerman,
economist and architect, renounced
Howard Scott and technocracy be
cause, they said, they were no longer
In accord with the statements and
attitudes of Scott.
On tbe other hand, leading techno
crats have said privately that while
these leaders did resign because of
disagreement. Scott also felt they
should leave the organization, had, In
fact, urged such a step.
Two Groups to Carry On.
On the basis of the announcements
of Scott and Rautenstrauch. research
as such will be carried on by two dif
ferent groups in approximately the
same manner and for the purpose of
ascertaining the same facts: to wit,
the rates at which the continent's
natural resources have been con
sumed during the past 100 years; the
effect ot mechanlcol advance on em
ployment; a quantitative study ot
natural resources.
It Is at this point that the two
research groups split.
In the presentation of technocracy's
findings Scott has used, or approved
the use of, dramatlo statistics to point
oplnlon, could and should go. These
statements Include such ones as: 13,-
000,000 to 15.000,000 persons could do
all the necessary work of tbe country;
no one need work more than four
hours a day, four days a week; every
one could have an Income equal to
20,000 Id 1030.
Rautenstrauch, In hla speeches, has
made no such suggestions. He has
not seconded Scott's predictions of
30.000,000 unemployed In 18 months
if present trends are continued, nor
has he predicted the eventual col
lapse of the price system. With Scott's
name has been associated a multitude

Recently two traffic officers In San
Franclico took a drink of liquor with
the manager of an office building In
hla office. Within IS minutes all
three collapsed and lost conscious
ness and were hurried to hospital. All
were given artificial respiration and
other emergency remedies, but all
died, one In 10 minutes, another In
five minutes, the third aftr more
than- two hours. In the locker of the
office manager several bottle i of
whiskey were found, one containing
a large amount oi sodium cyanide.
Whether the cases were murder and
suicide or accidental poisoning by
error or carelessness the authorities
never learned. A few months later a
young man who had taken about IS
gratns'of potassium cyanide and Im
mediately told his friends about It,
was brought Into the hospital un
conscious, with slow shallow respira
tions, feeble pulse, vermllllon Hps,
etc. This patient received an Injec
tion ot 60 c.c. of 1 per cent, solu
tion of methylene blue In water. He
recovered In 16 minutes.
Methylene blue Is a familiar old
dye, but a novel antidote for cyanide
poisoning.

of the company. He saw tbe names
of some other-politicians on the di
rectorate and finally consented. He
was to receive no salary but was to
have a drawing account.
His wife liked bridge and poker,
and always lost. He did a little high
flying himself after he found he
could write checks on the drawing
account and get away with It.
The end of his pleasant dream
came when- officials of the company.
Including himself, were Indicted for
fraud. He had not more Idea about
what the company was doing than
you have. Prosecuting authorities
found that' out and let him go.
As a whole ' congress la thoroughly
honest. Inside and out. Members are
usually very strict about accepting
gratuities because It puts them at
the mercy of the giver. Lobbyists
like nothing better than to get some
thing on a member In that way. Only
fools lay themselves open to such In
anlty.
In cases like that it Is almost Im
possible to obtain conclusive evi
dence. The real trouble with congress 1
not what votes are bartered for cash,
but under political pressure from or
ganized minorities.
The B. F. C. is pulling all possible
Inner wires to stop a congressional
inquiry. It appears to be very thor
oughly aroused.
A board member privately con
fessed to a congressman that the
corporation was "fooled" on the loan
to the Union Indemnity Company.
He claimed the corporation Itself was
conducting an Inquiry Into the mat
ter and might take action.
For that reason he asked congress
not to take steps then.
There are strong indications that
the corporation was also fooled on
a number of other loans. It also
did some fooling on Its own account.
That is the only possible excuse for
the way It mislead congressional In
vestigators on the Dawes loan. They
were Informed all along that Gen
eral Dawes took only one-third of his
$90,000,000 loan. Months later they
learned he got It all.
The deception was used to stop an
Inquiry at the opening of congress.
Now It is proving to be a boomerang.
The root of the trouble seems to
be more the blundering policy of the
R. F. O. officials In trying to handle
congressmen than In any basic wrong
In the general run of R. P. O. loans.
From the published and unpublish

whether an Inquiry is warranted.
Probably It is not. B, F, O. officials
are whispering to congressmen that
an Inquiry might disturb the bank
ing situation. That Is also a matter
of opinion.
. The only thing that has stopped
an lnveslgatlon in the past Is that s
man of the integrity of Senator Couz
ens conducted a cursory inquiry and
announced the corporation was O. K.
so far as he could learn. He saw
nothing but the bookkeeping entries
of the loans made. -
The airlines tried some neat strat
egy on the senate but It failed to
work.
The two most outspoken oppo
nents' of alrlmaU expenditures are
nents of airmail expenditures are
Senators McKellar of Tennessee and
Olass of Virginia. There were no
Important airmail lines In their dis
tricts. Olass once said he did not
see why letters had to go so fast.
The airmail lobbyist conceived the
Idea of putting a line Into their ter
ritory. Arrangements were announc
ed for thrice a week service to Lynch
burg, Va. (home town of Senator
Glass), and Knoxville and Nashville,
two Important cities in McKellar'a
state. This was done only a few days
oeiore tne senate voted on renewing
airmail contracts.
McKellar and Gloss voted against
continuing existing airmail expendi
tures.
Recalcitrancy of Senator Glass Is .
at least partially behind this delay
in announcing the key members of
the Roosevelt cabinet.
The whisper abroad In coneress Is
that Glass wants to know what
at least two things before he accepts
the treasury&hlp. One Is what is go
ing to happen to the Glass banking
bill in the house. The other Is who
his treasury assistants are going to
be.
These conditions should not be
formidable obstacles to his ultimate V
acceptance.
