The State Capitol Mess
IT'S too bad. Not so much for the prexont, as for the future.
The burning of the state capital was a great loss, but it also
represented a great opportunity.
At the outset of the present special session, the Mail Tribune
expressed the hope that this legislature would follow the exam
ple of the state administration of over half a century ago, anil
take full advantage of this opportunity, show the courage and
the vision of the. leaders and the legislators of THAT day, and
build not for their day alone but for the future, as far as that
might be possible for all time.
This did not mean necessarily spending a lot of money,
making a big show it did mean having a definite, forward
Inciting plan, a comprehensive, intelligent, and enlightened
plan, and having whatever was done, an INTEGRAL part,
OF that plan.
rT,ITIS is precisely what the legislature did NOT do. After
milling around for three weeks, going in one direction and
then another, and finally back to the first direction, the two
houses finally, in the closing hours of the session, simply threw
up their hands, and went back to where they started from,
namely: the old site of a few hundred square feet, 'and the final
structure, building, land and EQUIPMENT limited to $2,500,000 :
with no provision for future development whatever!
Tin-:
fit-
RE was another fortunate
but it did happen at a time when the U. S. government had an
exlensivo public works program, and was in a position to materi
ally assist any state, suddenly forced through an unforsecn
stroke of bad luck to build a new capitol structure.
Thanks, largely to Governor Martin's efforts and his influ
ence with the Roosevelt administration, a federal grant of
.$1, 075,000 was secured. Not only did the legislature fail to
adopt any definite forward looking state building plan, but it
turned down practically half a million dollars of federal money
tlmt this state could have had to assist it, in carrying out its
building program. All of which to this paper at least is hard to
understand.
'T'HE Portland Oregonian has an explanation for it. The
action, it claims was the result of anger the members of
t.hj legislature revolted against the pressure exerted by the gov
ernor, for a permanent and comprehensive plan, and in retali
ation, fignrativly pulled a Samson and pulled down the building
temple entirely.
The Oregonian should know,
the situation at Salem, and commends the action of the legisla
ture as "sensible", closing with this new battle cry for the state
that flies with its own wings: "Nobody worried about additional
Capitol lands until the old structure burned" the obvious con
clusion being "AVHT should they worry about it, AFTER."
(With equal force and logic,- one might inquire: no one
worried about an operation BEFORE the attack of appendicitis
why should anyone worry about it after 1)
Nevertheless, it is hard to believe the legislature was of such
calibre that it would sacrifice the proper state capitol program,
and the welfare ot the state, to its own spirit of personal PIQUE
AND ANGER. We certainly don't approve of what the legisla-'
ture did concerning the new state capitol, but we have a higher
idea of its statesmanship and sense of responsibility than THAT !
117IIATEVER the exact reason for this action, it is, as stated
" . above, too bad. Not that Oregon can't get by of COURSE
it can get by, and no doubt whatever is built will be adequate
for the pressing needs of the state, for many years perhaps as
a makeshift, for the present generation.
That isn't the point. The point is the next generation and
the generation after that, the state for all time. It's not a
matter of dollars and cents, but essentially a matter of SPIRIT.
Here, as before stated was a great opportunity. An oppor
tunity to show the world that. Oregon, is not, as too many have
assumed, a backward, unprogressive, penny-wise and pound
foolish state; not a state that such a thing as a depression, could
get down, as far as its confidence in itself or its courage in its
future is concerned ; but a progressive, forward looking, up-to-date
commonwealth which in any crisis could be depended upon
to build with wisdom and vision and intelligence for the future.
. . . .
nPIIAT was the outstanding principle involved as we saw it
and still see it. We had no particular site in mind, nor
any fixed sum to spend, we did want to see a definite, far
seeing plan adopted, one that didn't look ten but a hundred
years ahead.
If Oregon could afforil only to spend one million, all right
lei it only spend that. Two million! All right let that be the
limit. But let WHATEVER WAS SPENT be spent, NOT for
a makeshift, hut for a PART of a comprehensive and permanent
plan, which when carried out, wouhl give the people of Oregon
what they should have. a capitol building, a state centre,
answering the needs of the state for tho present and the future,
serving as an inspiration and a source of justifiable pride,
THROUGH A Lb THE YEARS TO COME.
"TMIAT as we understand it was Governor Martin's idea. It is
certainly our idea. We regard it as a shame and a pity
this was not done.
But. with the site definitely limited to the old one; and the
amount limited to $1,373,000 for the state, of course it can't he
done.
The special session had the opportunity and it muffed it.
The only chance as we see it, now rests with the capitol huitdinc
committee, and action by the NEXT legislature, which we ad
mit is decidedly a remote one.

There Is a naive notion prevalent
among the laity that physicians on
the staff of a hospital receive sala
ries for their ser
vices to hospital
patients.
This notion en
ables many well-
5 i evftde pRying for
medical or surgl
e a 1 treatment.
spread prac
tice of working
this racket Is a
f a c t or of no
small importance
in the nign co;
of sickness for hon
est people who prefer to pay their
Just debts. It is a scandal In ail
large metropolitan areas, this cadg
ing of medical and surgical treat
ment by the dishonest well-to-do cit
l7n. It Is high time that some pub
licity were given to the abuse, and
the rights of the taxpayers, who. of
course, carry tho burden in the long
run, were protected. ,
The evil grows out of the unwise
policy of turning public hospitals
over to the control, direct or indirect,
of politicians. In politics, as the
game is played An this country, ma
chinery is Indispensable, and the pol
itician with a Job to hold or an aa
plrntlon to power, must build and
maintain his machine, and patronage
Is the fuel which runs a political
machine.
The chief of the surgical staff In
one large metropolitan hospital per
sonally does more than 400 major
opertalons In his six months of serv
ice each year. Two Juniors working
under him work all night every night
in the year and do from 10 to 14
emergency operations every night.
The actual value of the surgical work
done by this one doctor, estimating
a fee of 9260 for a major operation
and that Is certainly conservative-
Is $100,000. Yet the doctor receives
not on penny for his work, nor Is
he pormltted by law to exact a fee
for any work he does in the hoaltal.
even thoueh the hospital discovers In
some Instances that the patient la
well able to pay and collects a nomi
nal sum for board and care.
Not only are the staff members not
paid for their services, but they re
ceive precious little credit or ac
knowledgement of any kind In the
official reports of the hospital. The
doctors are looked upon as back
ground merely, although the primary
purpose of a hospital is to care for
the airk and Injured and tliere. would
be no point in taking patients to a
hospital if there wero no doctors to
attend them there.

What is more, he gave the impres

Surely It would be equitable to pay

Comment
on the
Day's News
By PRANK JENKINS
A3 these words are written, Tues
day's off-year election is two
days old, the returns ire all In, and
BOTH PARTIES ars claiming a
smashing victory.
HENRY P. FLETCHER, chairman of
the Republican nation! com
mittee, says for publication:
"The boondogglers are on their
way out. The Republican party la on
1U way back to power. Near York.
Philadelphia and Cleveland tell the
story and point the way."
Jamee A. Parley, Democratic na
tional committee chairman and all
around Democratic political big shot,
says:
"The balloting In New York (where
the Republicans won the legislature)
was a victory for the New Deal.
Things even look good now for Roose
velt to carry Pennsylvania next year;
something he failed to do In 1032.'
IP you are an ordinary, average citi
zen, seeking no office and with
no pol I tl cal repu ta tl on to sust aln .
your reaction to these statements will
be something like this:
"Shucks! The Republican bosses are
bragging over something they didn't
get, and the Democratic bosses are
whistling to keep their courage up.
You can't believe a word EITHER
says."
Which iari't far from the truth
SO, since wo can't believe what the
political dopeatera tell us about
Tuesday's not very important elec
tion, let's look around and see If we
can find some straws that will tell ib
IMPARTIALLY which way the wind
is blowing.
Here is one contained In a copy
righted dispatch from New York:
"Betting odds that President Roose
velt will be re-elected In 1935. quoted
five, days ago by Wall Street garb
ling commissioners, at ten to one,
(tkidded to TWO to one tonight as a
result of yesterday's elections."
THAT 1 to say, hard-hsaded citi
zens who aren't greatly interest
ed in political dopesheets but are
keenly interested in making a little
easy money or losing it interpret
Tuesday's election.- aa an Indication
that people are THINKING DIFFERE
NTLY and that President Roosevelt's
re-election in 1936 is no longer tn-to-one
easy money shot.
-
HERE la another straw:
"Smashing gains of one to
more than five points on the New
York stock exchange today (Wednes
day the day after the elections)
brought the first three million share
day aince July. 103. and ent the
industrial average (stock price aver
age) to a new high since 1931.'
WHY?
Well, presumably, hard-headed
people with money to Invest inter
preted Tuesday's elections as a fore
cast of an Impending political change
and FELT ENCOURAGED aa a result.
Peeling encouraged, they spent
their money tn the belief that busi
ness will Improve, profit will In
crease and values will rise.
HERE la some goodadvtce:
Never believe a politician when
he ts talking about politics. Politi
cians seldom beleve what they them
nelve say about politics, and they
NEVER believe what another politi
cian says.

pressure is whipped up. The first
whip was raised on the radio recently
by State Secretary Hull.
What the otherwise mild-mannered
Mr. Hull wants to do ts to get the
Democratic power to threaten the ag
gressive nation with a severance of
trade relations. Also, he wants to per
mit free flow of munitions and trade
to the nations threatened by agres
sion. It la hi theory that thee dire d.p-
lomatlc threats will prevent war; but
some of the congressmen think they
mifiht involve us tn war.
What the congressmen also have
In the back of their heads Is an ap
preoption of what a re: emsarco
would do to cotton and when prices
and exports. It will take a lot of pub'
lie "education" to make them charge
their minds.
