Martin Tells House Com
mittee to Let Engineers
Have 'Whole Damn Thing'
Many Are Heard
WASHINGTON, April 23.-p-(AP) A
procession of witnesses presented var
ied opinions on the proposition of
shifting the entire administration of
Bonneville dam, Including power, to
the army engineers at a hearing be
fore the house rivers and harbors
committee.
Representatives Kan Honeyman of
Portland, Ore., Walter Pierce of Im
Grande, Ore., and Martin Smith of
Hoqulam, Wash, were cool toward
the Idea, but Oovernor Charles Mar
tin of Oregon, a former member of
the committee, said:
"Yea, let the army engineers have
the whole damn thing."
Would Hog-Tie Rates
Martin said that "some of the
language of the pending bill would
Indicate there are those who would
hog -tie the rate making and ad
mlnlstrattve forces," and urged that
rate making and regulation be left
with the federal power commission.
Major General E. M. Marlcham,
chief of the army engineers, told the
committee his office was ready to
market power "efficiently," if so re
quested, but wanted "none of the
headaches" Involved In the distribu
tion.

He objected to provisions In an ad'
mlnlatretlve bill Introduced by Smith
which would leave control of all but
the ship locks in the bands of an
administrator. He suggested an
amendment, to which Smith agreed,
to give the army control of all phys
ical properties of the project except
transmission lines.
Carson L'rges Speed
A bill sponsored by Pierce would
give the administrator control of the
power plant as well as transmission
lines.
Urging that the legislation be en
acted speedily. Mayor Joe Carson of
Portland said that city would have
gone sheod with plans for municipal
power a year ago If they had known
what the rate basis would be.
President H. F. Corbett of the
Portland chamber of commerce said
industry was the logical outlet for
the power and urged a, "fair but low"
switchboard rate.
Declaring that the project was
primarily one of navigation, Corbett j
suggested an amendment to the
Smith measure charging a smaller
portion of the cost against power development.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt tells con
gress the government of the
United States must earn more (that
Is, TAX more) and SPEND LESS.
That la TALK In the right dlrec.
tlon. If It Is followed by action In
the right direction, the country's
future will be brighter.
(There has been a lot of TALK
about spending less and balancing
the budget, but each year the treas
ury has gone farther in the hole. It
la now e si mated that the deficit this
year will be around two and a half
billions).
a
THE president asks for ai.goo.noo.-
1 000 for relief nent year which Is
more than It cost to run the WHOLE
GOVERNMENT a quarter of a cen
tury ago.
It would be Interesting to know
how many people are on relief here
In the midst of prosperity so great
that the New Deal is said to be fear
ful of a boom.
T would also be Interesting to know
(although of course It would be
Impossible to find out) how msny
people would RATHER be on relief
than working to support themselves.
THIS headline tells Its own story:
"Insurgent Spsln Made Authori
tarian State With Franco Dictator."
Those are Jaw-breaking words, but
what they mean Is that the world now
has another dictator-ruled state.
Dictatorships are all the fashion
now, in spite of the war we fought
to make the world safe for democ
racy.
t
SPEAKINO of dictators. Germany
turns out with a parade that
breaks all records to celebrate Hitler's
48th birthday.
It would be Interesting to know
Just how many of those taking part
in this greet parade were there be
cause they WANTED TO BE and how
many showed up because they had
hunch their presence would be
smarter and healthier than their absence.
Under dictatorships, you know, peo
ple don't do things so much because
they wsnt to as because they think
they'd better OR ELSE.
the law Is unconstitutional." Neither
Is there one word In the entire doc
ument where tt gives the president
the power to change the auprcme
court. If It did there would be no
need of congressional action. .
The quotation from the first
amendment was not even correct
though it does say we should have
free speech and pleas. However, we
millions who are opposing the pack
ing of the supreme court can remem
ber when a man In New Jersey was
put In Jail and fined for pressing
pants for 35 cents. If It had not been
for these nine fine, honorable and
learned men who are guarding our ;
rights free speech and press would
nave oeen taken zor a pressing ere
long.
President Taft nor any other pres- j
ldent has ever amended the constl-1
tutlon. It Is done by the people and ,
the fifth article clearly states the
mode, and nowhere does the word 1
president appear In the entire art-1
icle.
The lady states that amendments !
are safety valves, right; and that Is
the aim of every true American If
there Is to be a change In our gov
ernment we want It done accord
ing to the provisions of the consti
tution and not usurpation of power
by one man.
Shaw, I wonder if the lady means
Daniel ehay. He may be one of the
quick and the dead I know he Is
dead but when he led h!a rebellion
there was not even a constitution.
We were governed under the Articles
of confederation which had been !
hastily and loosely drawn after we
declared our freedom from England !
ana wnen In 1787 delegates met to
revise these they found them eo
Impassible, like some of our recent
laws, that they discarded them and
brought forth this amazingly fine
document which we call constitution.
