LAST Saturday the mteemed Oregonian bad a leading edi torial that fairly made the hair on the top of one'g had ttand on end (assuming there waa any hair there to follow the traditional practice of the fretful porcupine). "Where tof" wag the title of the editorial. The answer was, ruin and destruction. "IT LOOKS," declared the editorial, "a if we are headed for inflation and chaot. Only the most stern measures of econ omy and taxation can avert it. There ii no sign at Washington that such measures will be taken." 'Where are we goingt" The secretary of the treasury doesn't know. Congress doesn't know. The brain trust doesn't know. The president doesn't know he only laughs, heartily and often. But the Oregonian DOES know! Unless a program of rigid economy and heavy taxation, reaching down to everybody and extending over a period of years, putting the budget in balance and keeping it in balance, is adopted there are only two alternatives and the time for decision is nearing. "One alternative Is shameful. The other spells ruin. One la repudiation. The other Is to start the printing presses and turn out worthless "money' by bsles. Already crackpot such as Patman, are making progress In their urglnga for It. We are bound In the pit and pendulum'a descent Is rapid." All in all a very effective bit of melodrama. Nor do we wish to minimize the seriousness of the financial situation, nor deny the dexireahility of balancing the national budget, at the earliest possible moment, consistent with the continuation of such relief as is necessary to keep millions of men, women and children from suffering and starvation. BUT, We can't share the Orcgonian'a extremity of alarm, or join in its limitation of the alternatives. This is good political prop aganda from the Q. 0. P. standpoint, no doubt, but it just won't stand up under snne and fair-minded analysis. IN THE first place this ig election year, when nothing is nor mal and nothing will he normal until the election is over. According to Paul Mallon who certainly can't be accused of being pro-Roosevelt, the President is now working on new tuxes to tnke care of the recently authorized bonus but, there is practically no liklihood that congress will pass them. There are too manv members of horn But when the election ie, over, regardless of which party wins, new taxes, higher and more inclusive ones, will be passed, simply because they will have be the case regardless of who is elected President. So much for that. AS TO greater economy in'federal expenditures this is also inevitable. The government has already eliminated direct relief to the states, and'but for the bonus and the invalidation of the AAA, a long step toward the balancing of the budget would have been made this yesr. The only thing it refuses to do is stop relief when the need still exists. With the steady improvement in general business conditions, unemployment ia bound to decline, and with the marked in crease in federal revenues, the gap between outgo and income, is just as certain to become increasingly less. The rejoinder from the auitated viewers-with-alarm, how ever, will be' "Even so, the annual deficit Is Increasing and alao tha national debt; the former doubling, the latter reaohlng an all time high. How can there be anything ahead but uncontrolled Inflation, destruction and ohaoa?" To which the answer is: There can be MANY things. From the very outset of hit administration President Roose velt has stood out against the printing press money bloc at every turn of the rond. The brontlsidc he delivered against this form of financial folly, in his veto of the Patman bonus bill, could not have been ttronger if it had been written by J. P. Morgan himself. In his recent selection of new members of the Federal Reserve board, even his political enemies acknowledged they were all representatives of sound money; good banking, and a devastating rebuke to the professional inflationists. In other words, Roosevelt can be future, to fight, uncontrolled inflation with every resource at his command. AS TO the sir.e of the national hrenlcinc hich. But is that debt INSURMOUNTABLE! Is it so large, or will it certainly become so large, that it can't be paid off, and must therefore, eventually lead to either uncontrolled in flation or repudiation! If anyone in this country is competent to answer this ques tion, that person undoubtedly it Dr. 0. M. Sprague, former economic adviser to the Bank of consultant for the Roosevelt administration. Dr. Sprague eer tainly can't be accused of any pro New Deal leanings. He resigned his office presumably certiiin of the administration 't no danger in the present size of the national debt and says so. In a public ststement on Saturday he declared the national debt could reach $40,000,000,000, without the weakening of government credit."

(AdvJ j Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS EVERT voter In America who does n't believe la tht New Deal la looking for a aatlafactory Presidential candidate to OPPOSE the Kew Deal for the first principle of practical politics la that you can't beat some body with nobody., Oovernor Alt M. Land on. of Kansas, In his Wednesday night speech, sought to convince these voters that he la that man. (If you art a pro-New Deal, you won't believe a word be said, and will be angry with him for saying It, for he waa sharply critical of New Deal policies. But If you are anti-New Deal, you will give thoughtful ooiutderat tlon to Landon'a bid for the Republi can nomination.) H HERE are some points from hit speech for consideration: "Agricultural parity (meaning equality with other Industries) should be achieved by a TARIIT for farm product. That la to say, keep the American market for American farmers by 8HUTINO OUT the products of for eign forma. The New Deal, by limiting produc tion and thus raiting American prices above the world level and at the same time LOWERING tariff (the Cana dian, for example) has invited flr elgners to come In and aell to us what we are hiring our own farmers not to produce. ANOTHER point: "Let me make this smphatlc the constitution of the United States la NOT an obstacle to progress. It la the balance wheel of progress. The constitution of the United States was flexible enough to permit the abolition of human slavery, which was at least aa progressive a step aa this nation hat ever taken. So It ought to be flexible enough to permit us to take other TRULY PRO GRESSIVE steps. ANOTHER point: "A nation will survive to cor rect It political mistake, but If an unsound financial program 1 coupled with them the nation face deatrue tlon." Which mean that nations, like In dividuals, must REMAIN SOLVENT If they are to get anywhere worth getting to. AND this one: "We have teen appalling waste and extravagance. We are exhausting our oapltal on useless project which advance ua no farther along our way." It Isn't enough, that Is, Just to spend money. If you're going to get anywhere (except Into bankruptcy) you must get something worth while for the inoney you spend. 1ST OW thla final point: The choice ahead of the American people la NOT whether to keep on with the mlstakea of the so called New Deal, or to return to the mistakes of the old order. The old order BBLONOS TO THE PAST, but sound American principles persist. What he meana Is this: When we finally settle down after the experimenting of the past two or three years.

Consequently, he could get a theo retical profit of about tl. 7000.000 out of what would appear to be a small depreciation. It would, however, not be enough to pay the bonus. Congressmen who ars talking about issuing money against the old gold profit or any new one. however, are merely allowing their Ignorance of money. If the treasury did Itsue money j against this gold. It would come right back Into the banks the next day and aggravate the condition of excess reserves. In other words, It would only widen an existing financial wound That would be without benefit to anyone. If the treasury wanted to use the gold for the purpose of paying out caali. all It would have to da Is to transfer the sold to federal reserve hanks and Issue Checks BKalnat It- That would have printing expenses.

I watched particularly for ths re sult at Rogue River where they have wide awake Townwid club. The vote wss practlouly unanimous against It.

If the thinking public would think through and study It they would find that It is also a plsn to get the yountz people Into Joba and bring security back to the vast army of the middle class between youth and old age. It Is said that there are five million young folka that will never have Joba. That is a far more serious proposition thsn the aged.
