Economy
THE nation's taxpayers
I Donulation will be lucky if the current ana lonn
coming economy talk in Washington is anything more
than i'HJb hahhlfi and sham. :
There is a considerable
tqres for non-defense activities. It is absurdity to continue
Vihotr nutlava for agencies set ud in depression times, when
there is no longer a depression and employment is steadily
rising. That absurdity is heightened when there is ter
rific pressure for expenditure for defense.
But congressmen are congressmen, and the sternest
advocate of economy always wants tne otner lenow to ao
the economizing. The same goes for people back home,
who put the pressure on their congressmen for allocations.
Another factor in the national capital which lessens
the chances for economy is
government bureaus. Rather than quitting when their use
fulness is no longer evident, the bureaucrats always try
to get more power and more spending "authority. Right
now they are all busy trying to show where their activity
has something to do with defense, in order to justify their
getting slices of the big defense spending pie.
President Roosevelt, an extravagant spender of the
public money, likes to taunt congress on the economy ques
tion. The president sicks his bureaus into the spending
field, spreads government largess over large areas, and
then asks congress to make suggestions for the cuts. He
has recently indicated it was the responsibility of the peo
ple in the house and senate to make spending reductions.
But the president has never shown any disposition to
let the people in the house and senate take the lead- in
other fields of government endeavor. A display of leader
ship on his part in the matter of reducing non-defense
spending would make a most profound Impression and
would do the country a lot of good.
Whale of a Sensation
SCIENCE, proclaims a breathless newspaper article, has
at last affirmed that a whale really could have swal
lowed Jonah. - i
It seems that a Dr. Eugene Maximilian Karl Gelling,
professor of pharmacology, having little to do-one dull
day, crawled through the gullet of a (dead) whale. He
found it slimy, but definitely roomy.
If this unpalatable feat had been performed by .Joe
Doakesy fisherman, it would have proved just as much
about the Jonah-capacity of whales. But it wouldn't have
justified that delectable headline, "Science says
; Anyway, it's nice to think that in these days, which
are grim and getting grimmer by the clock, somebody has
the time and inclination to go crawling into whales' gullets.
Oregon Auto Registration
Expected to Top Record
Thirty Lx years ago, on May
19, 1905, Oregon started regis
tering motor vehicles when the
secretary of state issued regis
tration No. 1 to Helrous Thomp
son, of Eugene. At the end of
that year, a total of 218 vehicles
was registered in this state.
On the 36th anniversary of
that date, May 19 of this year,
there were 381,150 motor , ve
hicles registered in Oregon and
by the end of this year, regis
tration is expected to exceed
425,000, according to Earl Snell,
secretary of state. Registration
last year v as just 187 vehicles
short of 400,000 and to date,
the number, of vehicles licensed
in Oregon is 8 per cent ahead
of the registration for the same
date a year ago.
The Oregon legislative assem
bly of 1905 adopted an act re
quiring that owners of motor
vehicles in this state must reg
ister each vehicle with the sec
retary of state, paying a fee of
$3. This fee was not an annual
license, but was good for am

Prices will' not skyrocket, the
commodity expert of the U. S.

citing that living costs rose
only 2.6 per cent in the last

He warned, however, that a

It Is difficult to say which
may be most mischievous to
the human heart, the praise or
the dispraise of men.
Mary Baker Eddy,
The praises of others may be
of use in teaching us, not what
we are, but what we ought to
be. Hare.
Praise, like gold and dia
monds, owes its value only to
its scarcity. It becomes cheap
as it becomes vulgar, and will
no longer raise expectation or
animate enterprise.
Samuel Johnson.
As the Greek said, many men
know how to flatter; few know
how to praise.
Wendell Phillips.
It takes a great deal of grace
to be able to bear praise. Cen
sure seldom does us much hurt.
Spurgeon.
Think not those faithful who
praise all thy words and ac
tions, but those who kindly
reprove thy faults. Socrates.

WASHINGTON, May 21
Those congressmen and
other officials who have been
consulted by Mr. Roosevelt tho
past ton days havo apparently
all come away with tho impres
sion ho has been working flint
long on a substitute plnn for
convoying to go much further
than convoying. A fuirly wen-
rounded up consensus of their
opinion has suggested ho wanted
to sweep the seas clear of sub
marines and raiders.
The recent new trend of offi
cial remarks substantiates these
deductions. Mr. Roosevelt had
broadly likened the German
blockade to plrucy. His stuto
secretary, Mr. Hull, followed
with a speech emphasizing tho
next German threat would be
directed toward domination of
the seas.
Details of how this sea de
fense line is to bo built up in the
new Roosevelt plan are sup
posed to Involve further exten
sion of air and surface patrols
based on experiments conducted
by the head of the Atlantic fleet.
These experiments have alreudy
carried tho American flag within
sight of Dakar.
NAZI THREAT
State Secretary Hull's general
ized picture of trado disruption
to be expected from a nuzi vic
tory has been focusscd down in
grim detail by his assistant
Adolf Boric In a local extempor
aneous speech which was sparse
ly reported.
From Mr. Bcrle's speech it is
evident ho expects first a nuzi
repudiation of our gold and IU
value, but he did not think this
would bo tho worst. We could
discard gold without danger. If
you read at the breakfast table
that all the gold at Fort Knox
had been swallowed up, you
would be surprised but would
probably continue your break
fast. More serious would be Ger
many's challenge to our prices.
He thought heavy taxes would
be necessary to subsidize cotton
exports, for example. We would
be required to take manufactur
ed goods from the German dom
inated world as payment .for
an of the goods they wanted,
and tho resultant unemployment
In our factories would also have
to be financed by the govern
ment, he thought.
Hitler promised In Moln
Kampf he could throw this coun
try into revolution by these
manipulating trade processes
plus propaganda, according to
Bcrle.
TAX DICKERING
The strango backing and fill
ing of the administration on Its
own tax bill has now been
clarified by the latest testimony
before tho house ways and
means committee, both on and
off tho record . mostly off. It
was Mr. Roosevelt himself who
led the opposition to his own
treasury bill, at the Instance of
Messrs. Henderson and Eccles.
This opposition led to the new
dealers getting together with the
treasury on a halfway com
promise as represented in the
new excess profits proposal by
"Wlmt do you menn, it looks like n cheap copy? Tlml'a
the lmt you were wearing when you ciimc into the store I'

for instance. If It earned 15 per
cent the last 4 years, would lie
exempt only ou 10 per cent.
Everything it made abuvo lu per
cent would be taxed SO to TU
per cent
The scrap between tho now
dealers has encouraged tho com
mittee to indulgi) ilsvll along
the same lines. The bill may not
be whipped into final slutpo for
3 or 4 weeks.
NAZI FUNDS
Commerce Secretary Jesse
Junes has picked up evi
dence that a nazl agent tried to
buy tho British control In the
Urown and Williamson Tobacco
company when tho British were
getting reudy to sell. This evi
dence largely Inspired tho gov
ernment policy of lending the
British money on their Invest
ments here Instead of lotting
them liquidate.
The nazls apparently have large
sums of money In this country
accumulating from tlitlr Invest
ments. As Uiay cannot buy pro
ducts from us, the money Is bo
lievcti by government officials
to be going largely Into propa
ganda. As a result pressure for
freezing German funds In this
country is being exerted upon
the state department anew by
some other government depart
ments.

SALE OF POPPIES
Disabled Veterans of the World
war benefit In many ways from
America's custom of wearing
popples in honor of tho war dead
cm the Snturduy beforn Memor
lul duy, according to Mrs. Jennie
Hum, rehabilitation chairman of
Klamath unit of tho American
feiflon auxiliary, who Is direct.
Ing the Auxiliary's work loi
the disublrd men heri.
Many htindrocU of veterans In
government hospitals and auxil
iary workrooms throtiiihout the
country are given employment
making popples each year. This
year more than 12.000,1100 of the
little red flowers have been pro
duced by the disabled men and
their cnrnlnus havo amounted to
approximately $120,000,
A vastly larger number of dis
abled veterans benefit from tho
popples through tho Legion and
Auxiliary rehabilitation pro
gram, which poppy funds help
'finance. The aid which the vcM
crans recelvo extends from pov
uige stamps with which to write
homo to their families from tho
hospitals to technical and legal
services In proving their claims
for compensation, and Includes
every variety of help posslbln
for tho Li'glon and Auxiliary to
extend.
"Although the war Is now
more than 22 years In the past,
the number of disabled veterans
is still Inci -ailing-," said Mrs.
Hum. "Injuries and exposure of
war servlco are adding more vet
erans to the ranks of the dis
abled each yoar, as advunclng
ago makes It mora difficult for
these men to carry on under their
handicaps. Results of wounds and
Illness which could be carried
in youth, become disabling when
the burden of age Is added. Diffi
culties of proving tho war origin
of these disabilities at this date
bur a great many of these men
from government compensation.
They look to the . Legion and
Auxiliary for nld, and the Le
gion and Auxiliary .look to the
poppy for necessary funds."
