Who Is Looney Now?
WE knew this wag going to be a cock-eyed campaign, but
never expected it to go completely ga-ga, tbug early in
the game.. Above all we never imagined the atately and re
strained Oregonian, would exhibit signa of emotional instability,
before the boys in the trenches had even started over the top.
But a long editorial in the Sunday issue, devoted to the
strange partisan abberations of the Mail Tribune, leaves us no
alternative but the conclusion, that while this journal may be
somewhat goofy, there are others, and the leading exponent of
orthodox Republicanism in this state, is one of them.
listen to this. The Oregonisn, after discovering some-
thing "decidedly sad" in the Mail Tribune's naive faith in
the Democratic party as a party devoted to the welfare of the
common man, adjures us somewhat condescendingly to not let
our loyalties run away with our reason.
It then proceeds to show how the Oregonian never lets any
thing run away with its reason by solemnly maintaining in
all soriousneRS, THAT:
President Roosevelt is the "white haired boy" as far as
monopoly and Big Business is concerned. Thanks to him and
the New Deal, monopoly flourished as never before, during his
administration, while "the people" (including, we assume, the
millions saved from suffering And starvation by government
aid), lagged for, far behind.
rV,0 support this statement the Oregonian proceeds to demon-
strate the clarity of its reasoning powers by asking if the
Mail Tribune had not heard that such men as Giannini, "perhaps
the greatest financial power in western America, are as strong
for the New Deal, as the Mail Tribune"; while "James E.
Gerard, an economic royalist of the first order, who married
into the Daly copper millions, had $20,000 to bet on Mr. ftoose
belt." (Sic!)
Quick, Watson, the needle, we need all our powers of doduc
tive reasoning to get this thing straight.
Now let's see . . . Giannini is for Roosevelt, Jimmy Gerard
has bet on Roosevelt, so (are we right!) the big financial
interests and the cntrenohed wealth of this country are behind
Roosovelt and with good reason, for the Democratic party under
Roosevelt is for the monopolists and the "big business ogres",
while the Republican party is against monopoly, and Big Busi
ness, and is for "free competition" and the forgotten man.
Wo admit that doesn't SOUND ressonable, but if that isn't
what the Oregonian is trying to maintain, then we admit,
whether it's our "loyalties" or Old Stan River, SOMETHING
has not only run away with our reasoning, but the capacity
which we supposed we had maintained for some 25 years, of
understanding the English language as used by the Oregonian.
jORHOVER this assumption appears to be supported by the
Oregonian 's conclusion. We quote:
"The fact la, that the Democratlo party haa become the
party of monopoly under government control: and the Republi
can party haa become the party of free competition. The Re
publican party could not avoid adoption of the Brookings
progrsm If It wanted to. That Is Its fate. And Its fate Is a
happy one compared to that of the Democratlo party." -
"Hasn't the Mail Tribune heard thatf"
, Yes, tho Mail Tribune heard it the first time, and that's what
started nil this ruckus. But don't believe John D. M. Hamilton
has heni'd it, or J. 1'. Morgan, or Charley Schwab, or the mem
bers of the Republican national committee, or the Liberty
league, and we would suggest tho Oregonian take to the air
vin N.B.C. and tell them nhout it.
When free competition, and the destruction of monopolistic
industry as defined by the Brookings Institution, was merely a
trial balloon sent up into tho political atmosphere, bvone enter
prising far western newspaper, it was nothing perhaps for the
Q. O, P. to take with any particular seriousness. But when we
are issured by its author, that the idea has passed from the
realm of politics, into the rcslm of FATE, thst the Republican
party couldn't avoid its adoption if it wanted to, then it's high
time for the big boys within and without the parly, to sit up
and take notice.
rOR what does "free competition" mean in the Brookings
sense t Just another bit of ear-tickling rhetoric! Rhetori
cally this country hag been against monopolies and for free
competition, for fifty years.
No it doesn't mean that. IT MEANS AN ECONOMIC
REVOLUTION. It means that huge corporations like U. S.
Steel, American T. & T., Standard Oil and American Can must
go, and that, othry great combinations, in drugs, dry goods, gro
cories and the like must go also.
Why! Because FREE competition, in the Brookings sense
is IMPOSSIBLE as long as they exist.
The Oretronian expressed surprise the Mail Tribune accepted
the Brookings report as factually correct, and yet. refused to
Hccept the Oregonian 'g conclusion that the Republican party
could do nothing better than adopt it.
The inconsistency lies on the other side in ACCEPTING the
implication, of that report, thst J. P. Morgan'. effgs must be
unscrambled and then blithely proclaiming that a program that
will destroy Hig Business, will be tsken over by the psrtv of
Hig Business,
When that is done, as we remarked before, the Republican
parly will CKASH. TO EXIST.
"Dl'T, Ihe Republican party is no longer the party of Big

The story may or may not be ac
curate. Harrison's ovn announced
explanation waa thst the action was
taken lo keep Mr. Roosevelt's oppo
nents from saying that his rc-eiec-tton
aould ntesn more taxes. This
version la accepted here more swell
than the other for two reasons:
(a) Mlaslsslpplana pay fewer federal
taxea than 35 other states, and (b)
any political effect of the decision
will be national, not local.
Current talk about a tax reduction
was not Inspired by any administra
tion source, it seems to be an er
roneous deduction drawn from some
thing that waa said. However, it
anyone want to believe It, Mr. Mor
genthau will not try to atop him, at
any rata not before election.
What was said waa that there
might be any elimination of - some
taxes which are costing more to col
lect than the revenue derived from
them. No one haa mentioned what
taxea these are, if any.
The experts ssy tha Jewelry tsx
waa repealed last session because its
administrative costs were hlgr. The
fur tax now la supposed to cost a lot
to collect, but experta csnnot recaU
others.
The suggestion of tax reduction la
considered hokum by all who know
that the federal debt amounted to
$33,771,000,000 at the end of June,
Most Washington opinion leans the
other way, towsxd a conviction that,
If either Mr. Roosevelt or Governor
Landon la able to balance tha budget
next yenr, he will need magical pbw
eia.
During 13S, expendlturea were
8.879,798,257: receipts M, 115,956,615;
deficit M,7S3,841,Sa2. (Treasury fig
urea.)
Suppose the tax yield ahould In
crease MOO.OOO.OOO Inatead of the
380,000,000 In prospect) and relief
expendlturea were cut $2,700,000,000
then Income and outgo would be
even; the budget would be balanced
That day eeema to be far distant
to most tax authorities.
Mr. Roosevelt thought a tax bill
would not be necessary thla year and
said so In hla January messsge to
congress. His words were: "Based on
existing laws it la my belief thst no
new taxea, over and above the pres.
ent taxea, are advisable or necessary."
The then existing AAA law was
thrown out by the supreme court a
few daya later, and the occasion waa
used by the tressur a few weeks later
to sponsor revision of the corporation
tax structure and an increase In
tayea which haa amounted to about
700.000,000.
The only thing aure now la that
Mere will be a tax bill at the next
session ef congress and thst Mr.
Roosevelt does not now expect an
increase. Msny of the old Hoover
excise taxea passed in 1932 expire
next June. They must be replaced.
Also, the MOrgenthau letter Indicated
administrative changes In existing
xax laws will be necessary.

On the Ranks of the Rogue
Bv Ema Rosetta Hoielngton
O. little house beneath the pines.
Where vagrant wlnda their vlgila
keepl
I'd crash your rusty lock tonight
On a low, rude cot I'd fall asleep.
I'd hesr the rushing river splssh '
'Neath a narrow window through
the night,
And see the mints rise, cold and clear
Aa darkness ebbs to rosy light.
Tn cnnl. tt-et dew at SSrW RlOm
I'd bathe my weary, wandering feet
Where lush grass glistens in tne sun
wnen purpie snaaows aownwsra
creep.
I'd wander down the grasegrown trail
To the edge of the old Rogue river,
And wash the earth-stains from my
hesrt
Forever, oh, foreverl
Wraiths
They come on folded wings of night.
In misty fog above the streams;
They steal along the sodden air-
Old ghosta of hopea, of love and
dreams.
Their gripping fingers wring my
heart
Presa my tortured eyelids down;
lnslstsnt voice In my eara
Shut out the nolsea of tha town.
Old bitter hatea relentless trek.
Regrets stalk merciless snd grim:
Ambitions pass on hslf poised wings
Of folded achievements, ghostly
dim.
The eyes of little children plesd
For loving words I might hare aald:
A sweet csress. a tender smile.
E'er tiny forms lay cold and dead.
And sometimes when blsck midnight
holds
The slumbering world in silence
deep.
An old. old love T thought was deed
Steels bsck to hsunt me as I sleep.
