R. on the Spot THE President's social security program is certainly a com prehensive one. mid were it not for the highly publicized Towiisend pension plan, would he generally regarded as exceed ingly liberal. Hut with $200 per month offered each and every resident of sixty years and over, by the latter proposal, the administration plan will be regarded, by the Towiisend supporters, as as woefully inadequate. It will, therefore, be vigorously assailed, by those who have had their hopes of permanent affluence raised, by the alluring proposal of the Long Beach physician. What the final outcome will be, it is too early to determine. With such popular support as the Townsend plan enjoys, its endorsement by the lower house of congress is highly probable. Congressmen only hold office for two years. Half of them will come up for re-election a year hence. Few of them will have either the courage or the statesmanship to oppose a plan, which will mean their defeat. In other words the Townsend plan will probably pass the House of Representatives just as will the veterans' bonus bill, calling for immediate cash payment. STRONGER opposition to both measures will be met in tin: Senate. The members of this body hold office for six years, and therefore their ears are not so close to the ground. They can better afford to be independent, and resist, movements how ever popular, to the principles of which they can not conscienti ously subscribe. However it would take a sanguine prophet, to maintain, that both of these proposals will be defeated in the upper house. The result in the last analysis will President Roosevelt can exert, Whatever the result, neither measure will be enacted, except over the President's veto and his active opposition. .... QOMKHOW we can't picture the President, still the most dom inant and pnpulnr political figure, in this country for a gen eration, going down to defeat, on any such issues as the cas! bonus or the Townsend plan, represent. For in the last analysis they both involve immediate financial benefits for a minority, at the expense of the majority, policies which are neither practi cal, feasible, nor from the standpoint of the welfare of the coun try, and what the administration is doing 'to promote it, desir able at the present time. However the dangers of defeat, undoubtedly exist. As before stated in this column in meeting these two perplexing problems. President Roosevelt's unquestioned political skill and resource' fulness, will be subjected to the supreme test of his White House career. QUI AFTER GUN BATTLE (Continuea from page one.) ended their spectacular two hours of freedom. Four members of the board of prison terms and paroles, two of them slightly wounded, were shaken by a terrifying experience as host ages for the fleeing prisoners. Officials of the overcrowded prison. who characterized yesterday's break as the most serious there yet, also were Investigating a convict's story that $1000 was paid a guard to help get firearms to the conspirators. It was shortly after noon that the four convicts, Rudolph Straight, 3S, Alameda robber was was killed; Alexander MacKay, I-os Angeles rob ber; Joe Christy. 30. Los Angeles kid naper, and Fred Landers, 117, San Francisco robber, staged their break. Armed With IMstnls. Armed with ,4ft caliber automatic pistols, they raided the home of Warden Holohan -where the board of prison terms and paroles was lunch ing with the official. Holohan was slugged by Straight, his skull fractured and his face badly lacerated. The board members Frank n. Sykes, chairman; Warren Atherton, Stockton attorney; Joseph Stephens. Sacramento banker, and Mark E. Noon, secretary were forced to change clothes with the convicts and herded into the warden's automobile outside the house. Two prison guards were arlwd and taken along as further protection against the pursuers the convicts knew would follow. Out the prison's rear gate, which guards opened on threats of death to the hostages, sped the car. P limes In Chase. The alarm was spread quickly. hundreds of officers from every near by district rushed to stop the fleeing prisoners. Two army airplanes from nearby Hamilton field took up the chase. Over speedy highways, the con victs darted M miles to the north ward with police streaming after them. The trailing posse fired hesi tantly for fear of striking the hos tages. Bullets whined through Red wood trees bordering the highway, as the convicts shot back. The two abduct id guards. Harry Jones and C. L. Doose. and Noon were released as the convicts sped toward Valley Ford, where their car. lis trar tires shot away by the pur suing officers, crashed into a ditch The convicts hid In a creamery, leaving the other members of the prison board hv the roadside. Hoard Member Periled. The first posies arriving nearly shot the board mem hers, thinking they were the convicts. "I'll ahoot vcu. you don!'' ahoutrd an officer, leveling s gun at Ather ton. "Don't shont that' Atherton!" cried a companion. The posse, led by Sheriff Max Blum, then surrounded the cream ery. Straight poked his head out and levelled a gun at the officers A withering burst of fire from their guns dr ppe,t him, f tit 'illy wounded and the ct'vr mnvliis c:mie out with rt r 1 -:;:' . in Vic nir Dm lug the puitun tiykca depend upon the pressure which and the control he can maintain. wounded In the hip and Stephens grazed, but neither was seriously In jured. The prison board members were in Holohan'a dining room when the convicts entered. 'Stand up, all of you," snarled Straight, brandishing a pistol. The officials Jumped up and Holo han darted back Into the smoking room where Straight slugged him. Landers probably saved the official from further Injury by pulling Straight off the unconscious man. AH Bad Men. Captain R. Smith of the guard said his Information of Steven' partici pation In the gun smuggling was gleaned from questioning the four convicts, all of them classed as "bad men" by prison officials. Smith said the firearms were hid den In a department of public works truck which is garaged outside the prison at night. The guns, Smith , said, were brought Into the prison two and one-half months ago and secreted in the prison carpenter shop where Straight worked. Smith said the driver of the truck was unaware the guns had been hidden under the hood of the truck. Sykes said Straight told him of the guard being Involved In the plot to arm the prisoners, but Straight's companions In the break denied it. Stevens shot his way through a police trap In San Francisco last Friday during a bank holdup which netted him more than R00. Two police officers, stationed In tha bank on a tip It would b robbed, are under suspension while the fiasco Is beln' investigated. San Quentin prison was outwardly quiet today, but grim. officials were taking every precaution against an other outbreak in the Institution where 6000 prisoners are crowded into spsce designed for half that number. Face Han gin it. The three surviving .convicts face possible hanging for the prison break. said Julian M. Alco. acting chairman of the prison board. He said he thought they would be tried under California's new kidnap law provid ing life Imprisonment or death for kidnaping under force of arms. All three were locked in solitary oonfln.'ment In widely separated parts of the prison McKay in the dun geon, Christy In "solitary" and Lan ders In "Siberia." Privileges of all other convicts were stringently curtailed under Alco'a orders as he called prison directors to a meeting this morning to ln vestlgste the break. A nurse who spent the night In constant attendance of Holohan at the warden's home said he spent a comfortable night, strengthening Dr. Io Standley's prediction that he would survive. Rvery day we indulge In a wrong habit It seems less wron "Yes. I proposed to you five time before you said yes', and then my luck failed." We better give up the things we can't keep for the things we can't lose. A lake of material fire and brim stone could be no punishment what ever to an immaterial soul.

MARTIN, Incoml ng governor of Oregon . tells the legislature in his inaugural address that Oregon must recognize the mandate of the voters for: 1. Greater development of the re sources of the state. 3. Greater opportunity for eco nomic security for trrbse who toil. 3. Greater efficiency and economy In government. THIS writer, who doesn't believe in Santa Claus as an agency of gov ernment, would like to add that If the state will confine It efforts to providing greater efficiency and econ omy in government, which is the STATE'S BUSINESS, the able, ener getic and courageous citizenship of Oregon will take care of greater de velopment of the resources of the state. If men with courage, foresight and vision are permitted, wlthou t too great handicaps by government, to go ahead and develop the resources of the state, thus providing JOBS, greater opportunity for economic se curity will be provided for those who toll. STATEMENTS such as that aren't popular politically, for the way to win political favor in these days Is to promise to make everybody rich without work; but they are TRUE, nevertheless. GOVERNMENT, in these modern days, Is fond of talking of pro viding, by the process of passing a law, everything people want and need. This writer, who Is probably hope lessly. old-fashioned about such mat ters, la of the opinion that If the politicians will Ju&t provide us with efficient government at LOW COST, which means low taxes, the people themselves will take care of the de velopment of their resources. ALONG that" hie, Senator Borah, of Idaho, has Introduced in con gress a bill to license all corpora tions engaged In interstate commerce. The bill would refuse licenses to any corporation "which shall be found to be an unlawful trust or combination or a monopoly." "The aim and purpose of the act," Senator Borah says, "Is to bring com mercial corporations engaged tn In terstate commerce under practically the same supervision and control as now obalns with reference to com mon carriers." IF THAT Is true, and congress passes the bill, heaven help usl Since the common carriers (rail roads) were brought under govern ment supervision and control, rail road rates have gone steadily up until now they are so high as to place a serious burden upon the conduct of all business. If the concerns furnishing practi cally all the things we use are brought under similar government supervision and control, as Senator Borah pro poses, the prices of everything we buy will go steadily UP, instead of going down Just as railroad freight rates have gone up.. Communications Farmer III II lilts Back. To the Editor: In answer to Geo. Ivcrson's com munication of January 14, in your columns, titled "Quite An Assump tion." Now, George, you very well know that I was not given an opportunity to talk against the Townsend plan. Your crowd would not give me a chance to talk against the Townsend Impossible plan. I had not even picked up the Townsend booklet or bible when your gang made me quit by boos and cat calls, as this Townsend booklet or bible is what r intended to base my argument on how silly and impos sible a plan it is. and If made a law, wtt hour profit system of government, would first throw our free country Into chaos, and then the only way out of this mess would be a dicta torship form of government, where mob rules and demands a division of property every 30 days. All you Townsend followers talk now is. If the Townsend revolving plan la not made a law your pang is going to start a revolution which means blood shed. Now, Oeoiye. I can tell you that much right now. tha. the Townsend revolutionary plan will never be made a law. so you Just a well begin to orsnnire your revolutionary army rifiht now. Why mix religion with politics and then claim that God is back of the Townsend plan, thAt you are going to have heaven here on earth, and then get it by bloodshed? Why talk so foolish? Now.

Your chairman ,saia win nr wrote me a letter, inviting me to speak at the Townsend meeting. I never received this letter. As soon as I entered the auditorium I could see that I was not welcome, and I heard that very remark, they hoped I would not be there. Now, George, before we have this debate, get you a Townsend booklet or bible and study the Townsend plan thoroughly, as you admitted to me that you had never read the Townsend plan yet. And this goes to show that you don't know naw foolish this plan Is, and thousands are Just like you sign something and don't know what you are sign ing. Good-by, George. W. N. CARL.

The rate In their estimates used a maximum of $15 a week and no minimum. They suggested that on the 3 per cent contributing basis, the maximum benefit period siiould bo 15 weeks. The federal government would appropriate $50,000,000 annual ly to encourage the administration of state unemployment Insurance lawe. Aid to Dependent Children: The treasury would allot $25,000,000 annually to.be matched by states and used when the relief administrator approves state plans for dependent children's care. Public Health: The bill would appropriate $4,000.- 000 annually to be allotted among the states on a dollar-for-dollar basis for maternal and child health. Simi larly, there would be appropriated $3,000,000 annually for the care of crippled children. Under both allot ments each state would receive $20,- 000 annually and more according to need. For child welfare, there would be $2,500,000 annually with at least $10,000 for each state. General public health work would get $10,000,000 annually. Administration: A social insurance board of three would be set up to supervise the old age and unemployment pension sys tems and assist the states. The labor and treasury departments, the relief administration and the public health service all would have a share in por tions or tne program. 4 ' ED HANLEY HOME ROSS LANE IS RAZED BY BLAZE (Continued from page one) unsuccessful, although most of the movable furniture from the ground floor of the main building was saved. It was not learned today whether the house was Insured, but the loss was estimated at $25,000. The house cost that when built In 1908. it is said, and the furniture Is said to have cost nearly that much. The house was considered one of the show places of the valley, and was occupied up until a year ago by Charles Hoover, who while on the ranch, introduced poa bulbosa, or winter bluegrass, to this valley. It was on this ranch that commercial seeding from an airplane was done for tiie first time in the world, "when the bluegrass crop for 1927 was seed ed by that method. The novel procedure created un precedented interest at the time, and stories were printed in magazines and newspAperg all over the world In a telephone conversation to Se attle with Mr. Hanley last night, his daughter, Mrs. H. P. Bush of this city, advised him of the loss, and after expressing his regrets, Mr. Han ley is quoted as having said. "When they burn there's not much you can do about it."
