Why Not BE Frank?

"A fat treasury is no sign OF
sound craftsmanship: IL so, the pres
ent national administration Is fiat
failure" This is from the Houston
Post. Why qualify the assertion?
Just leave of the eff so" and state
the bald truth that the present ma
tional administration is fiat fail
ure."
Most people are inclined to regard
a treasury surplus as evidence OF
good administration. Most people are
Inclined to think that an administra-
tion that can pay as 1t goes, that does
not have to report to petty direct and
veSatious taxation, is success.
Most people in this country have be-
come accustomed TO that kind of an
administration throughout the long
periods OF Republican control of gov
eminent. Most people have come to
understand that fat treasury never
occurs under a Democratic admins
tration. Most people associate a lean
treasury with Democratic policies,
So. why not be frank about It?

ELLIOTT UPHELD
IN HIGHWAY CASE
AFTERARGUMENTS
COMMISSION UNANIMOUS IN
OPINION FOLLOWING HEAR
ING AT SALEM.

SALEM, Ore, March S.-The state
highway commission unanimously
voted to retain Engineer ]. E. Elliott
on the Columbia highway job in Hood
River county. 1t was the unanimous
opinion that the Newport Land &
Construction company had failed to
make a case sufficient to warrant the
removal Of Elliott. The latter has
had charge OF the Hood River con-
tract since work was started and is
employed under state Highway Engi-
neer Bowlby.
The decision of the highway COM
mission in effect sustains the state
highway engineer, under whose di-
rections Elliott has been working.
After hearing both sides of the
Hood River Columbia Highway con-
troversy, the state highway commits
sion Saturday afternoon took the
matter under advisement. The New
port Land & Constitution company,
which has the contract, sought to
schow that Engineer Elliott, in
charge of the work under state High
way Engineer Bowlby, was unfair
and unreasonable and had put the
company to unnecessary expense. The
company also sought to show that Ell
llott could not give them square
deal in completing the rest of the
work, especially because of the fact
that he had a $4,000 damage suit
pending against the company, be-
cause of an assault made upon him
by Ross Newport 1t was charged
that the company was required to
use italian laborers in the construc-
ton of walls; that the engineer fail
ed to classify the work and told sub
contractors how much Newport was
making, thus creating dissension;
that Elliott tore down with a crow
bar work that had been passed by
his inspector, and made the contrac-
tor do It over again, and that Elliott
had expressed his determination to
keep the amount OF the cost OF the
