WASHINGTON, June 26. "The
trouble with Washington Is that It
can't see beyond the District of Co
lumbia line."
That's the remark often heard In
the hinterland. Now, It's being re
peated on Capitol hlU by some ol
the worried opponents of the court
blll. They are afraid that If some
Of their colleagues who aren't at
, tending the Jefferson Island party
f!..,??"' .would be discovered
4 nicy r y""rrylng a concealed
filibuster on ffJifcrsons.
This political weapon, the worriers
tre worrying, might have a terrific
backfire In the constituencies.
These same folk fear that Senator
Aoblneon, when ho announced that
the battle over the bill would begin
next week, wore nn Inward smile, a
bit weary and wry, but a smile never
theless. Given enough votes on his side to
pass a compromise (which the ad
ministration claims to have) and
enough stubbornness on the other
aide to assure a filibuster, the presi
dent must get either at least a partial
victory from congress cr a lot of sym
pathy from the public. So, at least,
tnc reasoning goes.
Nobody loves a filibuster, and some
of the heartiest opponents of the bill
are rery much afraid of It.
Hence the fear that the senate lead
er was smiling and that the real die
hard antl-court-packcrs may, after
(01, play Into the hands of the ad
ministration. And the president won't hav to
pull another rabbit out of his hat at
It looks as If the government em
ployes are golua; o havo a little na-.
tlonal labor relations board of their
own.
Bills pending In congress to create
a civil service board of appeals have
now been Indorsed In principle by
the federal bar association.
Most of the questions which ucb
an agency would handle and which
are now taken care of by the board
of appeals and review of the civil
service commission, are technical
matters of examining ratings and
allocation of Jobs.
But other problems are arising, too.
especially now that unionization Is
the watchword up and down the land
lb Is becoming apparent to those who
iue looking ahead that a serious effort
must be made to provide a body to
keep the pea co among the organizing
government employes and pass on
suspensions, firings and similar employer-employe
conflicts such as arise
In a commercial business.
The board would not have to worry
about the right of the federal workers
to organize Into unions. The "unions"
are here and can be seen with the
naked eye. The pending bills refer to
them, and would encourage these
proups, local, national or lnternatlon
ci, to settle disputes themselves, if
possible, before appealing to the
hoard or appeals.
Uncle Sam gets In line.
Gargantua turned In his grave the
other dsy when he read this:
"There is hereby authorized to be
appropriated, out of any money in
the treasury not otherwise appropri
ated, the sum of 8. 000,000. 000 to
carry out the provisions of this act."
Eight billions, count 'em. No fool
ing, the above Is from section 6 of HB
7C70, a bill Introduced by Rrpresenta
tlve Snyder of Pennsylvania, "to pro
vide for the location, survey and
building of a system of three trans
continental and six north-south nigh
ways." Needless to say, the bill will nevet
enne out of the house roads commit
He where It has been resting for nme
time.
An appropriation of such act mom
leal proportions may be unique
(probably the largest ever accomany
ii'g a single bill), but It is typical of
the measures Introduced at the rate
of two or three a year which would
lay highways from the Florida Keys to
Alaska, nth airports at the intersec
tions, presumably allowing for de
trips to the moon.
With the farmer crying r 'Ktle
farm-to-market roads in the oack
country thtt will get him out of the
rnurt and up to the nearest siding,
these Oargantuan projects are Just a
jb for the government printing of
fice, no more, no less.
Now that the tax-evaion hcarinn?
are disclosing how to beat the tax
collector, perhaps you haven't heard
this one, either.

PETITIONS HELD
Politicians Agitate 'New
Hysteria' State Fi
nances Excellent, 'Why
Rock Boat.'
SALEM. June 26. (AP) Governor
Martin charged today that advocates
of a, special session of the legislature
to enact old age pension laws were
trying to "make votes at the expense
of the taxpayers."
He attacked the distribution oi
petitions to the governor to call the
session, the petitions demanding
minimum pensions of 30 a month.
A statement that the state laced
a $12,000,000 deficit by 1040 unless
a transactions tax Is adopted drew
the Ire of the chief executive, who
said the treasury Is in the best,
financial condition in more than
10 years, having a cash balance ol
more than $13,GU0.00Q compared with
the low point of y,500,00Q four years
ago.
"Need for a special session," he
said, 'is entirely lacking, despite agi
tation sponsored by certain politic
ians who wish to make votes at tat
expense of the taxpayers.
"Petitions are being circulated in
eastern Oregon to call a special ses
sion on the grounds that the state
Is facing a huge deficit and to
provide lor a $30 minimum old age
assistance payment.
"The state was never In bettci
financial condition than It is now.
There Is no existing or Impending
deficit.
'The question of ft 30 minimum
payment of old age assistance was
discussed thoroughly at the laat
legislative session, which adjourned
less than four months ago.
"It was brought out by federal
authorities that the payment of any
minimum amount for old age as
sistance would result In withdrawal
of federal aid hi this vital and Im
portant social service of the state,
because the federal law makes man
datory payment based solely upon
need of the recipient.
"I n view of t ho sou nd condition
of our, state, and the excellent work
of the last session of the legislature,
I can certainly sec no reason lor
being stampeded by this newly man
ufactured hysteria.
'The old ship of state is sailing
along on an even keel, why rock
the boat?"
Other state officials, likewise op
posing a special session, said U
would be polltlcnl suicide to call
the legislature back to enact the
proposed transaction a tax to finance
the pensions.
They said the transactions tax Is
a disguised sales tax, which was re
jected by the voters In 1033, 1934
and 1936. The opposition to the tax
gained at each election, the vote
last year being 187,319 against to
32.106 for.
Some officials pointed out the ex
pense of a special session, asserting
that the legislators, If called to con
sider pensions, might make a full
length session of It by considering
other matters.
Governor Martin, pointing out no
federal aid would be obtained H
a minimum payment were fixed, said
the cost of the proposed program
would be more than doubled.
The average monthly pension
cheek now Is 922, one or the highest
in the nation, while the maximum
Is 30.

PORTLAND, June 26. (P) Mining
operations threaten extermination of
fish life In Rogue river, the state
game commission was Informed at Its
session here today. In a letter from
J. B. Bedlngfleld, representing sports
men of the Rogue river area.
Quantities of mud pouring Into the
strcnm from the Increasing number
of mines la filling tho pools and
covering gravel bara and tho muddy
water has made it impossible for
sportsmen to catch fish below Grants
Pass, the letter said.
Bedlngfleld asserted also that tho
main channel Is being shoaled so as
to greatly Impede navigation.
He sn!d legal action to halt the
dumping of refuse In the stream was
contemplated.
The commission voted to "give
every assistance within Its power" to
curb pollution of the river.
At Its session Friday tho commis
sion recommended to the house con
gressional committee on conservation
of wildlife that the season on mi
gratory birds extend from October
15 to December 16 this year, with
shooting permtlted on Wednesdays,
Saturdays and Sundays only.
The season was open throughout
November laat year.
Frank Wire, administrator, said ef
forts of farmers on the Applcguto
river In Jackson county to "squirm
out of putting screens over their
ditches to protect fish life" would
endanger tho entire stream stocking
program If they were successful.
"If we make an exception In the
case of the Applcgate," ho continued,
"we must make exceptions elsewhere.
On almost any stream tho water
users will give you copious reasons
why they shouldn't be required to
screen their ditches. After It's all
over though, the screens save the
fish and everyone Is happy."
Edwsrd W. Kubll, farmer, appeared
on behalf of the water users In that
district and protested the screening
order as unnecessary expense and
Impractical.
"There are very few fish In the
river," ho said, "and none comes out
Into the ditches. Because of the
heavy slime In the river, deposited
by mines, tho fish cannot survive."

FOR RUM-RELIEF
KLAMATH FALLS. June 20 (AP)
Governor Charles H. Martin, as
sailed recently by grangers and orga
nized labor, was the butt of criticism
from a new source todsy. when the
Oregon Methcdlst conference adopted
a report disapproving hla stand on
gambling and the Oregon liquor
relief program.
Th report, made by the committee
on prohibition, temperance and mor
als, contained this statement:
"To make the measure of relief for
our unfortunate poor dependent
upon the measure of debauchery of
our cltlzeni. by liquor Is an outrage
upon every sentiment of fairness and
decency. That tha governor of our
state should recommend and encour
age such a course merits the severe
censure of every citizen."
Tha committee asserted that
"gambling Is rampant and seems to
be on the Increase. It Is destructive
to personal Integrity and to business
stability, We recommend that the
Oregon council of churches assume
early and aggressive leadership in
support of anti-gambling measures to
be voted upon at the next election."
In discussion of tha report. It was
chirged that the governor, at the
time of the last leglslsture. proved
himself the ally of gambling Interests
In the stand he took on paii-mutuel
betting on horse and dog racing. The
fact that parl-mutue! betting might
aid county and state fairs Is not suf
ficient to Justify aucb practices and
their sanction by the governor and
state authorities, tt waa declared.
