OPPONENTS of inflation In the
senate put up a hard fight
agaimt the gold standard repeal bill,
but LOST.
They expected to. The reason they
. put up a fight is that they want to
be In a position to say "I told you
so" If Inflation doesn't work.
MEANWHILE, under the stimulus
of inflation, the stock market
climbs to new high points, the Stand
ard Statistics average, which Is
printed dally In this newspaper, hav
ing passed last week the highest point
reached In 1932. .

BUT don't pay TOO MUCH atten
tion to the stock market as an
Index of returning prosperity.
It Is Interesting as Indicating what
people are thinking about the future,
but Its recent rises have been influ
enced by speculation and NOT by
actually Increased earnings on the
part of the Industries whose stocks
are dealt In on the exchange.
Increased earning power on the part
of business and Industry will be the
BEAL sign of returning prosperity..
EiARLY last spring, a young man of
i whom this writer knows bought
an automobile, paying down on It
the sum of MOO In cash.
Now he Is grieving. If he had put
that 200 Into a certain favorite stock
he has been watching, buying the
stock outright, he could have In
creased it to $500 by thla time. It
he had bought on margin, he could
have done a, lpt better,
His pleasure In the modest car he
bought is marred by the thought of
the BIG CAR he could buy now if he
had had the nervf to plunge last
spring.
HE IS LUCKY not unlucky.
If he had gambled and got away
with It, at his age, he would prob
ably have been ruined for life, for
the easy money habit, once It Is form
ed, Is harder '.o get rid of than the
liquor habit and equally destructive
of morale.
It souitds old-fashioned to say ao,
but It la nevertheless true that pros
perity Isn't going to be brought back
by gambling on the stock market.
It will take hard work and good
brains to turn that trick.
ASOLINE Prices to Rise," a
J headline Informs us. Not so
good. We all have to BUY gasoline.
It la the big shots who sell It. Gaso
line isn't a little man's business.
6tlU, the big gasoline business pro
vides good Jobs for a lot of little
fellows, thus giving them the cssh
with which to buy what WE have
to sell.
TIERE in Oregon, we pay already a
XI tax of five cents on each gallon
of gasoline we buy four cents state
and one cent federal. In a few days
more we will be paying six cents, for
the leglslsture added another cent to
the gas tax when It reduced automo
bile licenses.
The federal government Is talking
of adding three-quarters of a cent
more. If that Is done, the total tax
on gasoline here In Oregon will be
six and three-quarters cent per gal
lon. IF THE TAX gets much higher thsn
that, bootlegging will become
highly profitable, and If bootlegging
becomes highly profitable, receipts
from the gasoline tax will begin to
suffer.
The point Is this: When a good
thtng is overdone, it ceases to be a
pood thing. The gasoline tax has been
a mighty good thing so far, raising
a lot of badly needed money with
out really hurting anybody.
Pushing it TOO HIGH will spoil It.
ON THE other side of the picture,
we rcid that postage stampa are
COMING DOWN.
Fotmeter-Oneral Farley. In a
speech in Pennsylvania, ssys the cost
of sending a letter will be back to
two cents "within the next few
weeks."
This in sp,ie of the fact that even'
ith three-cent postage the postot
Iice department runs up a deficit.

DENY DEFENDANTS
PEEK AT EVIDENCE
IN BALLOT CASES
Judge Rules County Judge
and Schermerhorn Have
No Right to Pry Into Mat
ters Before Court Trial
County Judge Earl H. Fehl, one
of the defendants charged with bal
lot theft was denied the right to
Interview state witnesses, and Inspect
reputed statements and confessions
obtained by the state in a decision
handed down this afternoon In cir
cuit court by Judge George T, Skip
worth. Fehl's motion for the Inspection
and Interviews wm overruled.
A similar motion, Introduced In
behalf of Suspended Sheriff Scher
merhorn was also denied.
The defense filed the usual excep
tion to the ruling of the court, and
the same was allowed.
The court .held, among other points ;
"that the law gives the defendants
no right of Inspection simply to pry
into the evidence of an opponent."
The ruling of the court, in part,
is as follows:
"It would be manifest error for the
court to make the order demanded
by the defendant and would be an
absurd abuse of discretion for such
an order would be absolutely con
trary to law.
. "It la the duty of the court to we
that the defendant is given a fair
and Impartial trial and this the
court wlil attempt to do to the ut
most of its ability.' But to ask the
court to make such an order as this
Is beyond the bounds of reason."
I will say that I have given
this motion most careful considera
tion, and In addition thereto I have
studied the authorities applicable- to
the question and I can find no
authority which would warrant ' the
court In making the order requiring
the state to deliver to the defendant
or his attorneys the written state
ments of confessions or memoranda
of- the testimony of his witnesses to
the defendant. It Is not the law.
The case In 99th Oregon does not ao
hold, and It Is the duty of the court
to administer the law. If this were
the rule, it would subvert the ad
ministration of the criminal law.
Witnesses would be tossed to and
fro, they would be harrassed first
by one side and then by the other
side and there would be no regularity
whatsoever In the administration of
the criminal law, and for this reason
the motion Is overruled."
Tn its written memorandum, which
the court read, the court said:
"Under the authorttlea. it Is an
absolute abuse of discretion. If the
court has such discretion, to order
the 'state to deliver Its evidence to
the defendant . , .
"It would be as reasonable to com
pel the defendant to disclose written
statements of his witnesses to the
state, as for the defendant to ask
the court to compel the state to
dtaclope the written statement of
its witnesses to the defense.
"The defendant Is advised by the
Indictment of the charge he la com
pelled to meet, Under the constltu-.
tlon, he has a right to meet the wit
nesses face to face and cross-examine
them; this right he will have at the
trial of the case.
"... It would be an abuse of dis
cretion to permit the defendant. to
have poKse.viion of the written state
menu of the state witnesses.
"It wotild be a manifest error for
the court to make an order as de
manded by the defendant, and would
be an absurd abuse of discretion for
such an order would be absolutely
contrary to law."
The court held that "in effect the
motion was a bill of discovery." It
was further held that the affidavits
of Fehl and his attorney. A. C. Houtrh
are "immaterial to a decision In this
rase ... or for a decision In this mo
tion." The court cited a number of au
thorities in support of hts findings.
In a clear, concise and carefully con
sidered summation.

IN PERJURY CASE
Assistant Attorney General Ralph
E. Moody, now engaged In the prose
cution of the ballot theft cases, has
been assigned by the governor to

bility was brought out today in tes
tlmciy by O. P. Van Swearlngen at
he senate nvestlgation of the J. P.
Morgan and company role in erection
of the widespread Van Swearlngen
raid road command. -
Assenting readily to questions where
before he had repeatedly pleaded
faulty memory, the Cleveland opera
tor first revealed that 1.000.000 cash
waa the total he and his brother, M.
J., and associates put up in their
1918 advent into transportation.
"You say that la starting on a shoe
string." he drawled, to the Interest
of another crowd on hand. "I agree
that is go, but we made what we have
today out of that shoestring."
His brother listening closely nearby,
as was J. P. Morgan, he made quick
reply to questions by Perdinand Pe
eora, committee counsel. These de
veloped that a "general securities cor
poration" and later a "Geneva securi
ties corporation" were specially set
up to effect transfers of stock to hold
ing companies In a way to avail of
Income tax exemption provided by
congress in connection with corpor
ate reorganization.
"We have ahown," Pecora told re
porters, "for the first time the ad
vantage In e.'fectlng a transfer of
stock through the medium of a third
corporation.
"By this means the payment of tax
es on profits is avoided it shows a
weakness In the tax laws that con

Ickes Resisting Pressure
(Copyright by McCIure Newspaper
Syndicate)
By VAVh MAU.ON
WASHINGTON, June 7. The hung
ry politicians have quit grumbling
to themaelvea and have started de
manding action from the President
in person.
They have been trooping into the
White House quietly the last ten day
buzzing in Mr. Roosevelt'a ear that
they need a New Deal too. They do
not like the way some cabinet officer
are keeping Republlcana in preference
to Jobless Democrats. They have
pointed out emphatically you cannot
build a political organization that
way.
The President has indicated he wilt
seek to appease their hunger. They
expect manna ahortly.
The cabinet officer they are shoot
ing at particularly Is Interior Secre
tary Ickes. He is running his depart
ment as a one-man show. He listened
to reason from Postmaster General
Parley and others on selecting his as
sistants. But he has been resisting
pressure on the smaller Jobs In a
way which Is very annoying.
What Is mors he told a politician:
"I? you want to remove a man you
must say something more than that
he Is a Republican."
You can imagine what a big hit a
statement like that made with, the
.Democratic ofllco-aeckirs. -i . ... ....:
Most of the trouble Is due to a
rather slipshod method of testing the
political qualifications of appointees.
The public works head gave a Job
to a Michigan Republican who was
defeated In an election out there very
recently.
A mild old Democrat was dropped
from service as publicity man for a
government department. He was re
placed by an able man who happens
to have served once as publicity man
for the Republican national commit
tee. -
As a result of these breaks an or
der has been Issued to exercise more
care and political scrutiny In the se
lection of men hereafter.
They tell an inside story of what
happened to an up-and-coming young
Democrat from the west. He was slat
ed to be assistant Indian commis
sioner and came here to take over
the Job. The boys Introduced him to
Ickes and others, rckes took him
lunch. Afterward he was told the ap
pointment could not be made that
day. t
The same thing waa told him each
day for several weeks. Being a bright
young man he figured he was getting
a run-around and demanded an ex
planation. He got it. It waa:
"You have no sense of social Jus
tice toward the American Indian."
The plight of the political hunger
marchers got so bad two weeks ago
they started building bonfires' around
the country. The stir they set up was
