In The- Dai's. ta By FRANK JENKINS In the Hotel Benson's new and quite attractive London Bar (these words are Written in . Portland) there is a series of panel drawings done in the crudely attractive manner of about the 12th century t in Olde Englande. The first depicts the king, in his :'' Royal Purple, florid and well fed. He Is saying: "I rule over all." The second delineates The Bishop, in' his robes of office. The scroll . over it says: "I pray for all." The third pictures The Soldier. He is i drawing his Jewelled sword from Us scabbard and is asserting: "I i fight for all." ' r. .The fourth character, clothed In , & soiled smock, his hands clasping a rude mattock. Is The Farmer. He is saying: . ... j "I PAY FOB ALL." ' H-m-m-m-m-ml j In these closing days of the year 1955, with the campaign year of 1956 coming up, it sounds like po litical propaganda, doesn't it? One can't help wondering if by any chance these drawings might be authentic antiques. If so. it would indicate that away back 'there"' those earlier cen turies the politicians handled the farmer In almost the identical manner in , which the politicians , are undertaking to handle him now. . That is to say: THEY FIRST MADE HIM FEEL SORRY FOR HIMSELF, In the papers this morning, there is a curiously interesting little story. It tells of an elderly recluse ." who lived In a bare little room ' in a ramshackle hotel in Los An geles and was believed to be an i old age pensioner. He was found? dead yesterday and after his death it was dis ' covered that he was the owner of '" 1950 shares of U.S. Steel, stock. worth at current market prices j more than $110,000. He was a poor citizen, you siy? - 1 I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you. In these modern indus- . trial days, when huge aggrega tions of capital are needed to car ry on the huge -modem . business ' of modern living, he was a GOOD ; . t citizen, t i . f He saved up his money and in vested it in shares of one of our big modern Industrial enterprises. ! Thus he helped to provide Jobs i for all of us. . . He was quite different from the miser who hoards up his cash and ' x hides It In a tin can or caches H away In a sale deposit box in i ijhe vaults of a bank. Vv He kept his money at work. In the modern world, money must be KEPT AT WORK if we . are all to prosper. - Getting back to the politicians 1 Our Immense modern business corporations are favorite targets of the type of two-bit politician who seeks to win our votes by the ancient political device of MAK" INO US FEEL SORRY FOR OUR SELVES, ' He harps on their bigness, know ing that , almost since the begin nings , of ' time the smaller man has been jealous of the bigger man. It's an old' dodge, but a Very effective one. ' I The truth Is that our big mod em corporations are owned by ast numbers of people who invest ' their savings in them and thus are enabled to SHARE in the rising prosperity of America. Mountain Passes Still Slippery S SALEM in Oregon's mountain passes remained slippery Monday under 2 to 4 Inches of new snow, the Highway Commission warned. - The commission sarS-tire chains . lire needed at Willamette Pass.

' The suit was brought on behalf of the Klamath and Umatilla In dians by attorneys Joe O'Neill, Klamath Falls, and Charles Luce, Walla- Walla, Washington.
