Governor Martin s Message
GOVERNOR MARTIN'S message shows characteristic vision
and courage.
Vision : because the chief executive looks into the future, as
far as the new capitol building is concerned, and sees clearly the
need of building for that future now.
Courage: because in taking his stand against construction of
the new capitol, on the old five acre site, he realizes he has
chosen the unpopular side of what promises to be a long drawn
out and heated controversy.
DUT fortunately the state of Oregon has in its present gover-
nor a true leader. Governor
an important issue yet and he doesn't intend to begin now.
The easy way the politic way would be, for him to pass
the capitol site buck to the legislature, and wash his hands
of the entire affair. f
But that isn't the general's way. He has definite convictions
on this subject as he has on many others. These convictions are
based not on hearsay or prejudice but upon knowledge of the
subject, as a result of careful study, extensive research, and the
beBt expert advice he could secure.
He loves his state, he is jealous of its future, and as long as
he is its chief executive he intends to do what he believes to
be best for his state and the welfare of its people, regardless of
what the immediate political effects may be.
So in this messsce' to the legislature he gives his views
regarding the site, of the new state capitol building, clpfirly ami
concisely. It is now up to,the members of the legislature cither
to accept or disregard them.
IN the opinion of this newspaper, the more the members of the
legislature go into the matter, consider the question from
all angles, study the views of competent engineers and archi
tect, survey the experiences of other states, fairly and im
partially, the more clearly they will see the governor is right.
What is true of the legislature will be true of the people
of the state as a whole. Initial
without change or addition was
sentiment to Commend it, and
economy to support it.
But there was no general understanding of the inadequacy
of the old site which is only 331
many have assumed, include
nor was there general realization of both the artistic, practical
and financial objections, to giving Oregon, in its new state
capitol an imitation of a New Tork sky scraper. '
As all the facts surrounding
erally known we have no doubt support for Governor Martin's
views will increase, for the element of time and the truth are
all on his side.
BUT it is going to be a hard struggle. In fact just as a bet
I in Cf -nrnnniiif Inn nt flio nraspnt timo lllA odrla are in fflvnr nf
the old site for it is supported by two extremely formidable
foes of progress, Genernl Reaction and General Inertia.
Whether tho fight is lost or won however, it is certainly
gratifying and refreshing to have in the state house, at such
a time a man like Governor Martin, who is as remarked above
a TRUE leader I
NOT a FOLLOWER 1 Not a man trying to find out all the
time the state 6t public opinion, but who is interested in in
forming and directing it; a man who literally and at all times
would rather he right than be' popular, and at all times and
under all circumstances places
people, above every other consideration, personal and political.
In other words a re.nl MAN and a real GOVERNOR, instead
of just another self seeking politician, warming his coat tails

IS Italy's wr against Ethiopia

declarationthe real thing, or la It a
gigantic gam of bluff? ,
That Is an interesting question, but
the chances are that nobody but Mus
solini can answer It,
And he won't.
A LONG that line, note this dls-

"An official communique tonight
(Friday) said the doors to a peaceful
settlement of Anglo-Italian differen

shut."
yHAT little wave of the olive branch
on Mussolini's part, may have
been prompted by this dispatch from
Pari:
The British embassy announced
tonight that Premier Laval of France
had given a reply which he considered
favorable to London's request for
naval aid in case the British fleet was
attacked by Italy In the Mediterran
ean." vr BSTERDAY, You will remember, It
was Intimated that France
MIGHT double-cross Britain and NOT
come to her aid In case the British
fleet should be attacked.

door might have been prompted by
this news from Addis Ababa:
"Reports reaching here today 'stated
the morale of Italian soldiers on the
southern front was low because of
rscklng fevers suffered In the Ogaden
desert." f
The Italians are moving tn through

world began.
'T'HIS suggestion that France might
have been considering the double
cross In case the British fleet In the
Mediterranean was attacked la Inter
esting, and the statement that she
has changed her mind raises this
question: 1
Was It because of a high sense of
moral duty and recognition of the
obligation she owes to Britain for
help In 1014, when Germany was
striking across Belgium at France?
JsjwTOT at all. Nations are coldly self
1 Ich. and double-cross each other
unhesitatingly if they believe It to be
to THEIR OWN INTEREST.
If France considered double-crossing
Britain and then changed her
mind, the change of mind was due to
the fear that Germany might consider
this the moment to STRIKE AGAIN.

est with his fingers, nor could he
get down on his hands and knees

Another ease of bsd addition
lately waa the rumored assumption
that President Roosevelt was rush
ing back to Washington because
he planned to disembark at a Flor
ida or South Carolina port. The fact
la Mr. Roosevelt told newsmen en
the record at Hyde Park before he
left that he intended to curtail
bis trip exactly that way.
The real explanation appeared to
be that the president does not en
Joy the waters off Cape Hattera at
this time of year. A!o, disembarka
tion south of Hatteras will permit
him to spend an extra day fishing.
A business man wrote a sarcastic
letter to a government agency some
time bsck, suggesting that the
agency would probably Mdon its coat
of ermine" and act officiously in
his "esse. His stenographer appsrent
ly misunderstood him. She made
It "coat of vermin."
The recipients of the letter agreed
that the stenographer was probably
more accurate than her boss. They
are a defunct agency of the NRA.
