Smiling
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. Inquisi
tive people want to know how Mr:
Roosevelt la taking the hlseea against
aorne sections of his program.
The answer la: JuBt about the
, same as he took the HoBannas.
Once, about ten days ago, when
the farm atrlke waa threatening and
the gold price scheme waa not work
ing, he had a bad day. . Callers
thought that for the first time
since March 4 he was unable to con
ceal his Irritation. He was sharp
In conversation. His habitual gaiety
a. was conspicuously absent.
The very next day he came up
smiling again. He has been that
way ever alnce.
This is not merely a public pose.
He carries it through his dealings
with his intimate associates in pri
vate. It seems to be a great game with
him, a constant resistance against
permitting anything to get on his
nerves. He knows that he must have
relaxation and good health and he
never lets anything Interfere with
these two purposes.
At present his physical condition
seems to be good.
Homes
From the Inside comes an esti
mate that the home loan mortgage
outfit has handled to date about 8
per cent of Its relief problem.
That does not fit In with some
of the extravagant claims which
have been published but there are
good reasons for believing it Is ac
curate. It might cause some worry, ex
cept that the machinery now Is
functioning better. The change in
chairmanship was in the Interest of
efficiency. Too much politics waa
originally involved.
. . .-.;. - , , Comparison
When you compare its record with
the average insurance company do
ing the same business, the govern
ment operation stands in a favorable
light.
No Insurance company waa ever
efficient enough to handle 29 loans
a day. The government Is handling
that many now and will handle more
shortly. Its business Is much more
complicated than that of life insur
ance companies because it must swap
bonds for mortgages instead of cash.
The cost of operations la much
higher for the government than for
private companies. No one knows
. exactly how much higher.
Speed was one of the worst causes I
of government Inefficiency at the
atnrt. The agents out in the coun
try were In such a hurry that half
'of their original papers were defec
tive and had to be done over again.
All in all the outfit seems to have
done fairly well and expects to do
i much better, beginning now.
" Lawyers
The government lawyers nearly
broke a brain cell figuring out a
legal excuse for the gold purchase
program.
The story of how they did it is
only now emerging from the Inner
council. It seems the president liked
the Idea of increasing commodity
prices that way but did not believe
he had the authority to do it. At
least he doubted it.
The lawyers dug around In the
RFC act and found (with prompting
from Chairman Jesse Jones) that the
RFC could sell It debentures.
By circular reasoning the legalists
went back to the old British com
mon law of barter and sale, and de
duced that the exchange of deben
tures for gold was in reality a meth
od of sale.
Good lawyers say there Is no
question that the courts will up
hold It, even though such a thing
was never In anyone's mind at the
time the RFC an was written,
rower
This may give you a hint that a
-lot. of things can be done under ex
Usttng law which have not been
thought of yet.
Tha known powers conferred on
the executive at the last session of
congress have not even been half
iisd. The financial NEA pro
grams have gone only part of the
way that congress authorized. The
frm powers have been used to
greater extent than any, because the
need waa greater.
In addition there are unknown
powers which can be worked out leg
ally if demand for them arises.
Lack of authority will never be used
as an alibi for thla administration.

County Judge Earl B .Day, Com
missioner Ralph Billings and Em
mett Nealon, and County Engineer
Paul B. Rynntng, were In Portland
today attending the annual conven
tion of state officers, so any Jack
son county action on the highway
handwork fund situation would be
taken t,here. All the county Judges
and commissioners . are In attend
ance. Each county is allotted $5000 to
provide immediate work, while wait
ing for the Public Works and other
employment aids to get underway
It is also part' of the prealdent's an
nounced policy to remove as many
workers as possible from the alms
list.
While no definite policy has been
announced, it is thought, that the
work in this county, would be used
in repairing roads and bridges. Ail
the labor will be done by .hand, and
machinery eliminated. The work will
also be distributed as to districts.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. (ff) The
administration, asserting tha goal of
getting "hundreds of thousands"
more to work the next few weeks,
invited state highway commissions
day to list at least six projects in
each of the 3.000 counties In the
country on which road maintenance
expenditures of not more than $5,000
each can be made promptly.
' Th ecost is to be advanced in the
proportion of 65 per cent from fed
eral relief funds and 35 per cent
from federal road aid to states,
States Name Jobs.
Highway commissions wer- called
upon to list immediately projects
available for use and to select them
particularly in unemployment areas.
In a telegram sent by Thomas H.
MacDonald, chief- of the bureau of
public roads.
It is part of the administration's
attempted plan for getting 4,000.000
men to work before the year ends
To accomplish this the civil works
administration was created last week
with $400,000,000 of public works
funds allocated for the purpose.
SALBM. Nov. 13. (JP) Announce
ment last night by federal officials
of a new direct highway relief pro
gram to aid employment during the
winter months today set the state
highway department into full speed to
prepare allocations for Washington by
tomorrow night, R. H. Baldock. state
highway engineer, said.
Dlvslonal engineers were instructed
to provide the highway department
with lists of roads In each county in
the order of their priority upon which
hand labor could be placed immedi
ately. Baldock also requested a list
of relief needs by counties from R,
B. Wilcox, chairman of the state re
lief committee, and the basis fo al
location will be made according to
this list.
Jobs for 4,000.
The $2,000,000 estimated immediate
relief, which Is above all other relief
and public works program, should
put to work about 4.000 men. under
the direction of the highway depart
ment. Baldock said. No contracts
will be let on the projects selected,
but the work will be done by the
state, with the relief committees in
the counties employing the men.
Bald or k will confer later today and
tomorrow morning with county
Judges, who will be In nnnual session
at Portland, to seek their approval
on proposed projects on county, sec
ondary and state highways. Tomor
row afternoon, prior to the regular
high war commission meeting in
Portland Wednesday, the highway of
ficials will confer with Wilcox to draft
the allocation program.
The funds will be an outright gift
of the federal government and will
require no matching whatever by the
state.

SAN JOSE, Cal., Nov. 13. (API
Relatives disclosed today that they
had received a telegram from Sacra
mento suggesting the payment of
$20,000 as a compromise ransom for
the return of Brooke Hart, 22. son of
a wealthy Saa Jose merchant who
disappeared last Thursday and who
apparently was kidnaped.
It was said the new ransom demand
was received last night. No comment
was forthcoming as to how the miss
ing youth's lather, Alexander J. Hart,
would deal with It, the only previous
word from him being he would pay
"any reasonable demand." A few
hours after young Hart disappeared
last Thursday the Hart home here re
ceived a telephone call from San
Francisco In which $40,000 was asked.
The new demand preceded by sev
eral hours the arrest In Oakland of
Burr W. Poole, a printer suspected of
having some connection with a gang
which officers said might have been
responsible for young Hart's disap
pearance. .

urday Night Says Head
Of Meier Committee
PORTLAND, Nov. 13. AP) De
claring that hotels must not be per
mitted to sell liquor, either with
meals or without. Dr. William 8.
Knox, chairman of the governors
liquor control commission, today out
lined the committee's tentative llq
our plan to county Judges and com
mlsslonera of Oregon, assembled In
their 28th annual session.
"Last Saturday night there was
not a hotel in the city that waa
not full of drunken children," Dr.
Knox declared. "How about this
good faith?" he asked In connection
with the hotelmen'a request.
"The hotel men." he continued,
"have very selfishly asked to be made
a special class. They want to serve
liquor of any alcoholic content all
day. with or without meals. In their
dining rooms. Knowing the people
do not want the return of saloons,
this Is outrageous and prepostroua.
Once the hotel has liquor on Its
premises, It would be a61d at all
times."
Dr. Knox said that "after review
ing the various plans, we (the com
mission) determined that tnc meth
od of state control, similar to the
law In Quebec, Is most feasible. The
state would have a system of dis
pensaries, fully organized. Here, any
one could present hla. rrd and. get
hard liquor to be. taken homo in
sealed packages, fto liquor could be
consumed on the premises or In pub
lic places.
"The men In charge wou'.d not try
to sell two bottles Instead of one
the fewer sales they made, the bet
ter their record."

the 1033 exposition, also will be
changed. The giant skyrlde towers,
now a part of the steel gray back
ground, will look like bsrber poles,
thousands of new multi-colored lights
will shine up from the lagoon be
tween the mainland and enchanted
Island, principal buildings will be re
painted and the whole general aspect
of the exposition will lie different.
Conceived in a period when busi
ness was booming throughout the
land and opened during a depression
when all similar actlvitlea were al
most at a standstill, the fair ended
with a record of achievement whlh
official ay is "unbelievable."
One of the most unique features of
the exposition waa the fact that it
had no public subsidies of any kind
It waa paid for by Chicago cltlrens
In advance. They took tne chance
that they would get batx what thsy
put into It.
Not counting some 175,000.000

Recovery Act In Violation
Of Federal Constitution
If Detriment To Workers
And Owners, Is Claim-'
PORTLAND, Ore.. Nov. 13. .(AP)
Suit waa filed in federal court here
today challenging the authority of
the board of the West Coaat Lumber
men's association, acting as the ad
ministrative agency of the NRA lum
ber code, to restrict operation of the
Willamette Valley Lumber company
plant at Dallas, Ore., "In such a way
as to be uneconomic."
W. Lair Thompson, attorney for the
company, and alx employes of the
mill, brought the action.
Although Thompson aald in a for
mal statement that the suit waa not
a challenge to the authority of the
National Recovery administration, it
self, one section of the complaint de
clared that If the National Industrial
Recovery act permits the administra
tive agency of the lumber code to re
strict operation of the mill to the
detriment of owner and workers, the
act is in violation of the section of
the federal constitution prohibiting
seizure of property without due pro
cess of law.
Injunction Asked
The complaint requested an in

11. Well, we got a lot of ex
citement out here in Los An
geles. Five United States sena
tors arrived here to investigate
and tho'fan dancer from tho
Chicago fair arrived to bo in

The dollar was lower yester
day in Kuropc than it lins ever
been before. What tough
break for the Americans that
go to see Europe and have

ing around for nothing in our
country. And after all it is ft
borne talent commodity.
