The Fundamental Issue
QO Oregon's AAA is ruled out
unconstitutional.
Very interesting.
The decision dealt with the ice cream marketing agreement.
The control board fixed the minimum price at forty cents per
quart. One Fred Meyer, Inc., of Portland sold ice cream for
29 cents.
Thus violating the agreement of the ice cream makers, the
board brought ant.inn to compel obedience to the agreement.
Meyer refused and brought action himself.
Meyer was uphelthy the
sustained by the state supreme
AAA is out as far as Oregon is
XHAT does this meant

Probably not. The people can do practically anything they wish
to do, by passing laws legalizing their action.
But it does mean that under
they can't go as far as fixing
else. That in any one industry
and regulations upon a minority,
of legislative powers, etc., etc.
This decision regarding state
ment with the U. S. supreme court decision regarding interstate
business, in the now famous chicken case, and would seem to
settle the matter, as far as the legalistic issue is concerned.
'T'HE next question is: can the constitutional objections be
removed, by changing the wording of the measures invali
dated? The attempt has been made by congress. A similar
attempt may be made by the state legislature. Opinions differ
regarding the probable outcome, but that matter must be left of
course to the courts.
VITUAT this paper is interested in is the essential principle
" involved, which we predict, will sooner or later become a
very important issue in this state and throughout the country.
The principle is this: in a government of the people, for the
people and by the people, HAVE, or have NOT, the people the
right to regulate business, as they desire intra-state or inter
state whether it is a matter of fixing prices, regulating meth
ods, imposing standards of size and quality, or what have you.
And if they HAVE that right is it desirable that this right
should be exercised, in this country?
TPHOSE who not only long for the good old days but believe
tliis country can return to them, will reply with an emphatic
"no". There is too much government in business 0w, too little
rugged individualism; what we need is less government in busi
ness and more business in government, etc., etc.
Those who believe the good old days are not only passed bijt
will never return, that the world war was responsible for certain
fundamental changes in our social and economic structure; and
that the old free for all, of unregulated and unorganized com
petition must, if tho capitalistic system is to endure, be replaced
by some intelligent economic plan, will hold to the contrary
view.
Retween these two extremes will be those who have no def
inite opinions one way or the other, will form none until the
issues involved become clearer, but who will, eventually, with
their votes decide the question.
It is going to be a pretty warm battle when it comes, and
unless all signs fail, it will be the chief issue between the, two
major parties, if not in 1936, certainly four years later.

IV you think you are smart, if you have a shaking notion you
can bent tho game, if you feel that most people are just a
buneh of suckers compared with your smart ways, rend these
lew lines from the day's news:
A broken old man Albert B. Kail, 71 years old
now sits in a wheel chair in a spacious ranch house at
Three Rivera, N. M., amid the faded (lories of the days
when he held high office. The discredited former secre
tary of the interior, who was convicted of taking a
bribe, who lost his rnnch by foreclosure, even lost his
citizenship, and efforts to have it restored have thus far
failed. Now ho faces a final strugglo to hold bis home
and the last. 100 acres of the 750,000-acro ranch. The
letter requesting him to vacate his ranch home was
signed by Mrs. K. L. Doheny, wife of the oil magnate
who was Kail's partner as a prospector and was later
involved with him in the oil scandals.
"Tho way," declares a book, which despite its pictistic uses
as a religious mentor, nonetheless, contnins in stark and beauti
ful language, the shrewd, hard-boiled wisdom of the sophisticates
of the ages, "of the transgressor is hard!"
In the end and in the long run "the game" is unbeatable.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
PWA rejects Oregon's application
for a gift of money with which
to buy more land. as a site for the
new capltol building. PWA'a refusal,
a dispatch' from 8alem telle ' us,
raises thla question:
"What la to be dona about It?"
r THIS writer, who la Just one of
a. the million residents of Oregon,
were to offer an answer to that
question, It would run something
like this: -
"Let's do nothing at all about the
site problem, merely going ahead and
building an efficient, modern, busi
nesslike capltol, adequate for the
state's present and future needs, at
tractive In appearance but not ex
travagantly ornate, on the ground
we already have."
THIS answer, of course, will be
A open to criticism, especially by
those whose way It Is to BUT and
BUT and let somebody else worry
about paying the bills.
They will say: - -
"For shamel Tou have no vision!
You're unable to see forward Into the
future. You're short-sighted and
can't anticipate the needa of poster
ity.' TRUfe enough, probably.
But one of the things chiefly
wrong with us now Is that we've had
too much vision and too little com
mon sense In recent years.
As for posterity. Its outstanding
needs will be enough to eat, enough
to wear, shelter from the storm and
enough left over from these funda
mentals for reasonable recreation so
that life may be mads more enjoy
able. If the upllfters and the vislonlsts
go on piling up debt at the rate of
the past few years, posterity will be
crushed under the burden of PAY
ING these debts.
DON Fisher, chief ranger at the
Lava Beds national monument,
tells this one:
The youngsters at the Lava Beds
CCO camp caught a cub bear lsst
spring and proceeded to make a pet
of It, Cub. bears are about as Intrig
uing pets as can be found, and ev
erybody fell In love with the little
rascal. The cub, for its part, returned
all thla affection with Interest, and
everything was lovely.
Then, one unlucky day, the little
bear strayed too far from camp and
became lost. The camp was burled
In gloom.
SEARCH parties were organized and
went out and did their stuff, but
came back empty-handed. No pet
cub was to be found. The gloom
deepened.
Then, one lucky day, a work detail
was out on a Job and as. the boys j
wore laboring away somebody heard j
a whimper back In the rocks and 1
looking up saw the pet cub coming
In on the run. He dashed Into the
midst of the party, and It was pretty
hard, Don says, to tell which was
the nappies; over the reunion the !
boys or the cub. j
The, little bear had had all the
return to the wilds he wanted and
was as happy ss a small animal
could be to get back to civilisation.
THE next time you're tempted to
break down and cry over the sad
fate of some wild animal In cap- 1
tlvlty, think of this Lava Beda bear
cub that went native and then waa
tickled within an inch of Its life to
get back to the comforts of cap
tivity. Communications
"Let Va Fly Into the Dawn."
To the Editor:
In the Sept. 37th Issue of the
"Capltol press" there Is an excel
lent article under the caption "Claims
Cltlrenship Lacks Intelligence" In
which Col. Church reminds us, lest
we forget, that the motto on Ore
gon's coat of arms says- "She files
with her own wings."
It is well In these days of disillu
sionment and struggle, to let our
minds dwell upon the lofty signlft
cance of that motto, bequeathed to
us by the founders of our state.
Surely they must have envisioned
wings of purest white, tipped per
haps with rose and silver as they
soared Into the dawn of sn unlim
ited future for our beloved state.
And indeed, why not? could any
future loom too great for a land
so bountifully endowed by a be
nign Providence?
Her crowning glory Is the mighty
rivers flowing between palisades ot
perpetual green: those pine-claa
billows of a continent that sweep
across our state and break in ma
jestic headlands to greet the yet
greater maje&iy of the sea.
The rushing, white loveliness of
Oreson'a rivers are at once her su
preme g'.ory and her Imminent prii.
(or do they not represent the' white
gold so coveted by the Power Trust'
Chiefly because of this fact, our
people today are in tha colls ot
this rapacious clutch. We feel It's
unmistakable grip upon our credit
svstem, our courts, and the person
nel of government Itself.
W hav fallen upon evil days;
our wlnga of state have been relin
quished Into furtive hands, and are
propelled by a force that Is preda
tory In Its methods and ultimate
objective.
Thua our wings have drooped and
tha feathera thereof have become
defiled from misuse.
What are these wings but em
blems of our Inherent privilege of
self-government aa expressed In the
bill of rights of the constitution 01
the United States? However, rights
beget responsibilities and therefore
stern duties confront us.
Even as In a far land long ago
"the Lord atlrred Israel," so In our
day the American "eagle stirs her
nest."
When I speak of the American
eagle. I do not by any manner of
meana refer to the blue vulture ol
the K.I.B.A.: that brain-child of
rellx Frankfurter, fathered by Ber
nard Baruch, and fostered by the
present administration. No Indeed)
but I do refer to the real eagle,
that all-Amerlcan bird whose wings
like mighty symbols stretch from
sea to sea across a nation of liberty
loving citizens. The wisdom of the
eagle knows Just the right time to
"stir her nest" and force her brood
to use their Ood-glven wings.
So here In Oregon, we must no
longer cower In a political nest that
has long since become foul and out
grown, but, casting aside all fear
and In the spirit of righteousness,
let us "fly with our own wings" trl-
kumphsntly Into the dawn of a bet
ter day.

pean political words out here, since
fascist methods killed the general
atrtke.
The regular politicians (republi
cans and democratic) are doing con
siderably coy flirting with all the
wild movements this side of commun
ism. They want the support.
A tip on that was offered a few
days back when President Roosevelt
appointed a Sinclair man (George
Acret) to the Guffey coal board. Post
master General Farley Is supposed to
have fixed that. It was the first pat
ronage recognition he has given Sin
clair. Of course, he hopes eplcao will
be sold In New Deal bottles next
year.
A similar explanation lies behind
the news some time back that Re
publican Oovernor Merrlam had come
out for the Townsend plan. His pals
say he was misquoted, that he never
favored $300 a month for anyone,
but only a "reasonable" sum. What
ever he favored. It was mindful of
the Townsend strength out here. -
What every visitor asks first Is how
California comes to be the testing
ground for all these fancy Ideas.
There are few heavy industries here,
consequently little Industrial unem
ployment. The papers are currently
publishing statistics showing that the
Pacific coast states have recovered
faster than others. (No bank failed In
San Francisco.)
How radicalism can flourish In
such a situation Is explained by Call
fornlans with the same answer they
give to all other local phenomena
the climate.
Strangely, that seems to be the
right answer, at least partly. Not that
the weather Is so balmy It makes peo
p a that way, but transients nave
been pouring Into the state through
out the depression. It is estimated
that as many os 200.000 without sup
port came Into the state during the
depression. The federal transient bu
reau has figures showing that It has
been csrlng for 30.000 to 40.000 In
coming destitutes each month. Also,
the expansion of California during
the last decade lured all classes of
unsettled and dissatisfied people,
living on Investments not yet recov
ered. At any rate. It Is not too much to
say that anyone could get nearly any
kind of movement going In this state,
even If Its purpose were solely to
start an exploration expedition to the
moon.
Governor Merrlam Is acting very
much like a vice presidential candi
date, and he Is. His folks are trying
to get the California delegation
pledged to him for president, with
a view to trading it off for the vice
presidential nomination (a la Mc-Adoo-Garner).
The most Influential
republicans are privately working for
an unlnstructed delegation or one
Pledged to Hoover for Impersonal
trading purposes. They will win.
Frisco Is already preparing for a
world s fair In 1038.
Thera are 11.000 members of the
longshoremen's union, but only 4.000
are working. Relief therefore Is sud-
I porting a considerable portion of the

Strong Knox sentiment exists
among regular republicans.
The Republican Progressive Senator
Johnson told a delegation of canners
off the record the other day that he
would support Mr, Roosevelt In 36.
The support probably will be quiet.
