Legislature Reforms
FROM Representative Earl Hill of Lane county comes a
statement of what he regards as needed reforms in
the legislature. Fresh from the 20 days of confusion at
the special session,. Mr. Hill offers some ideas that de
serve sincere consideration and support. Here they are,
as published in the Eugene Register-Guard:
"1. A drafting bureau or some definite plan (or legal
eomultatlon In the preparation of all measures to save the
waste of passing bills doomed to the scrap heap as uncon
stitutional. "2. A stenographic bureau manned by experts to take t&e
place of the expensive 'clerks' system which now allows any
member to put a relative or friend on the payroll at J5 a day.
"3. Rigid restriction on 'petty chiseling' such as now
exists In the unlimited distribution ot postage stamps and
stationery to members.
"4. Only members to be allowed on the floor of the
legislative chambers during active business except by voted
permission for distinguished guests.
"5. Absolute deadlines In submitting new legislation to
either regular or special sessions not over 20 days In the
regular sessions and not over 10 in the specials."
There are those who, disgusted with the way things
are handled (or mishandled) at Salem, will say it does
not go far enough. But each proposal could be put into
effect, as a start in the right direction. It is to be hoped
Mr. Hill's suggestions are not merely published and for
gotten. One of the worst features of the legislature is the un
limited flood of bills that elogs the machinery of every
session.
Drunken Driving
JAIL sentences for drunken drivers are advocated by
the Oregon Cite Enterprise. It says too many in
toxicated drivers a$ "getting off easy," and it concludes:
"A good stretch' In JaS tor drunk drivers may seem to
some people a' bit cruel. So is injury or death at the
hands of an intoxicated driver."
Severe treatment of drunken drivers will come if the
public wakes up to the menace they are. There is a
tendency to look on the arrested drunken driver as a
poor fellow whose good time has been spoiled by some
mean old officer. As a matter of fact, most arrests for
drunken driving are made after an accident, which shows
the extent to which the drunken driver has spoiled his
own good time.
Probably there are too many persons who have done
their own drunken driving and vho have trouble with
their consciences when they condemn somebody else who
has gotten into trouble over the same thing. Once they
get it through their heads that whoever goes on the
highway in a drunken condition is menacing the lives
and property of others that their own family is not
safe as long as this sort of thing is tolerated they may
correct their own practices and put themselves in a posi
tion to demand that others do likewise.
As long as drunken driving is practiced and tolerated,
the highways are going to be a shambles, with the maimed
and dying at the roadsides, and the wreckers dragging
away ruined cars. Those who like it that way should
continue to drive when they are drunk, and to advocate
that others who get caught at it should be let off easy.
Stubborn Problem
ONE of the oddest things about the present improve
ment in business conditions is the fact that employ
ment is reviving faster than the relief rolls are shrinking.
. In the city of Cleveland, for instance, unemployment
dropped from 76,000 on Oct. 1 to 58,600 on Nov. 1, mak
ing the number of unemployed smaller than it has been
at any time since 1930. Yet the relief rolls are show
ing no corresponding shrinkage.
, Counting WPA employes as relief clients, Cleveland
had a reduction of only 3400 in its relief lists during the
period when the number of unemployed was reduced by
more than 17,000.
This seems to indicate that our relief problem will
lag with us for some time after our industrial conditions
have got nearly back to normal.
We shall still be caring for the casualties of the de
pression after the depression has been finally defeated.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.
Senator llornh Is unquestionably
now planning to announce his
presidential candidacy well in
advance of the first spring pri
mary. His name will probably
bo entered, not only throughout
the west but in many eastern
and central atalet.
This statement of his Inten
tions Is not official, of course,
out it is as clear to every ade
quately Informed republican au
thority here as it the official
announcement had already been
made.
To them, there Is nothing coy
or obscure about Mr. Borah and
his purpose. They suffer not a
whit ot the confusion which ap
pears to exist In the public mind
as a result of his shrewd re
fusals to be drawn out prema
turely. a a a
CHALLENGE
The Idnhoan Is out to whip
the nominal party leaders and
leadership. The only way he
ran do it is to round up as many
convention delegates as ha can
lay his hands on.
It is not exactly a secret pros
pect that his adversaries can
and will prevent him from get
ting the nomination. Borah
knows that. Ho must know It.
Every polltlrnl amateur knows
It. and Borah is a long way
from being an amateur, j
But he can make his adver
saries do business with him, both
as to the candidate and the plat
form. He Is the only big-name
drawing card, the only box of
fice star, and they may have to
go more thnn a little out of
their way to meet his terms.

Christian Science
Church
"Soul and Body" was the sub
ject of the Lesson-Sermon in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, Nov. 24.
The Golden Text was, "The
Lord Is good unto them that
wait for him, to the soul that
seeketh him" (Lam. S: 25).
Among the citations which
comprised the Lesson-Sermon
wbb the following from the Bible:
"The eye ot the Lord is upon
them that fear him, upon them
that hope in his morcy. To deliver
their soul from death, and to
keep them alive In famine" (Ps.
83: IS, 19).
The Lesson-Sermon also In
eluded the following correlative
passages from the Christian
Science textbook, "Science and
Health with Key to the Script
ures," by Mary Baker Eddy:
"Soul Is the substance. Life, and
Intelligence ot man, whioh is In
dividualized, but not in matter
. , , Who can see a soul in the
1 body? , . , Christian Science ex
plains ill cbusb and effect as
mental, not physical. It lifts the
veil of mystery from Soul end
body. It shows the scientific re
lation of man to God, dlB-en-tnnglea
the Interlaced ambiguities
.of being, and sets free imprisoned
thought" (pp. 477, 478, 114).
Cedarville Hunter
Critically Injured
ALTURAS, Not. 26. (Special)
Monroe Dorton of Cedarville
lay critically wounded at a
ranch house - near Cedarville to
night, victim of a hunting acci
dent early Saturday.
Dorton was shot from ten feet
behind by Kenneth Barber, a
hunting companion, as the two
were advancing on a flock of
geese on Baer grade, six miles
south of Cedarville. Dorton'l
hip was torn away by the charge.
Barber and three other hunt
ers carried Dorton to the Barber
ranch, where physicians declared
the injured man had a Blight
chance tor recovery.
Barber could not explain for
certain how the accident occur
red, but believed the trigger of
his gun caught on brush.
Twelve hundred penholders and
7200 nibs were stolen from Lon
don postofflcea within one month.
CHAXCKS
Moat authorities see only two
possibilities of keeping Borah out
ot the fight. One is that he
may tire of the chase, before
spring. HlB friends consider this
hardly likely, this time. The sit
uation is too Inviting for him.
The other possibility is that
his terms may be mot before
hand. This seems to be hardly
possible.
-a a a
8IKKX SOXC
.NKA enthusiasts here are
playing some beguiling cue music
for the coming December 9 con
ference. They are tuning np the
public ear on the theme that
employr-ent and payrolls still
are away out of line with pro
duction. The idea is that the
growth of technological unem
ployment and the Increasing
number of employables (boys out
of School, etc.) make a new NRA
absolutely necessary in one form
or another. It is a good -tune
tor their purposes, but thinner
than it sounds.
a a a
The public generally seems to
Have jumped toward this con-
elusion because the latest Index!
of industrial production was 1
around 90 per cent of normal,'
wnue employment was 82 ana
factory payrolls were only 74.
But if you will look into the
disparity with a spyglass, you
will find that the key to the
situation lies in the closeted tact
that the production figures are
based on a different set of In
dustries than the employment
and payroll figures. For in
stance, the production figure is
heavily influenced by manufact
urers of cigarettes. This Indus
try has been virtually booming
since the depression, but it em
ploys very little labor.
For another instance, the
building construction Industry
undoubtedly furnishes more
labor per dollar of expenditure
than nearly any other large In
dustry. It employs In normal
times a very substantial propor
tion of the total number of
American workers. But it is the
Industry which has recovered
least, thus tar.
a a a
PROOF
The fact Is the heavy goods
Industries (steel, building, min
ing, etc.) are now operating at
only 52 per cent normal. Their
output is only 36 per cent of
the total national production,
whereas In 1923-'25 they pro
duced about 50 per cent of na
tional production and It is in
these Industries that the great
bulk Ot unemployment Ilea to
day.
Also If you base your pro
duction, employment' nnd pay
roll figures on 1929 as 100 (In
stead of 1 9 J3-'25 averages, on
which the official figures are
based), you will get an entirely
different answer. Figuring 19i9
as 100 for all three, you will
find that production during this
year has avora;ou around 73
per cent normal, employment 78
per cent and payrolls 63 per
cent.
Thus, on a 1929 base, you find
that existing employment Is even
nearer normal than production
and tho disparity of both with
payrolls Is lessened.
a a a
CONCLUSIONS
These figures do not moan
that there has boon no replace
ment ot workers by machlnos.
Nor do they indicate that the
recent Increase in number ot
employables has been over-ostl
mated.
What they seem to say clearly
is that an improvement in dur
able goods Industries Is needed
as much as an NRA to correct
the existing disparity In employ
ment, and payrolls. Also they
scream the fact that the status
of technological unemployment
and of increasing employables
has been stressed too much.

fcnE LA PINK SITUATION
(Bend Hulletin)
Especially noticeable since the
repeal of the prohibition laws.
there has come Into existence
In the LaPlne community of
Deschutes county a rather in
tolerable situation a situation
that must be as embarrassing to
the peace loving people of the
community as It Is to officers
delegated to law enforcement.
Although the population of tho
southern Deschutes county com
munity is sparse, the cost of law
enforcement In the LaPlne area
and that ot trials resulting from
difficulties apparently traceable
to intoxicants has been great.
Consider the unenviable record
of the LaPlne community these
past two years: One man was
shot to death and another was
sentenced to life In the state
penitentiary as the result of a
brawl that apparently had Its
origin In a beer drinking party
in LaPlne. A "Donnybrook fair"
fight, with clubs used, occurred on
another occasion at the height of
what officers said was a drink
ing party. An elderly man, be
lieved to have been under the
Influence of too much beer when
he wandered into the darkness

and has not been found. And the

A LOTTERY NOT A LOTTKHV
(Snlctii I'niiltiil-Jouriml)
A jury in tho municipal court
has decided that a dart game Is
not a lottery. Of course that
doesn't settle the auestlon. i
cept Insofar ns the operators of
the tabooed game are concorned
in this particular Instance, for
another police court Jury might
just as promptly reverse the de
cision in another case.
A lottery Is doflned as "a dis
tribution of prltos by lot or
chance." There Is certainly no
distribution of prizes by lot In
ino aari games, lor m such a
distribution every participant has
an even chance with the others.
Skill plays no part, although some
municipalities grant darto li
censes on the theorv that it does.
This leaves the prizes purely to
cnance, which makes dart games
a lottery, and a lottery ot the
most vicious form In which the
player has a minimum of chance
and the operator a sure thing.
Under our statutes, In order
to constitute a lottery, the dis
tribution -of prizes must depend
solely on chance and requires
the parting with something of
value by the person who may
draw the prize. So It Is clear.
notwithstanding the police court
verdict that dart games, like
slot machines, are lotteries.
