ATTACKS UPON
HIGHWAYS PROVE
TO Be BOOMERANG

Portland, Nov. A. Attacks
launched by Walter M. Pierce,
democratic candidate for COVER
nor, against the state highway
commission and its program,
have come home to their author
with the zest and thud of a boom
erang. John B. Yeon, member
OF the commission, far from
shrinking into retirement before
the onslaught of Mr.. Pierce, yes
terday Issued statement in en-
tire refutation Of the charges, and
placed the commissions own case
before the people of Oregon.
Reduced to its essential declar-
alton, the commission 8 counter
claim is that it found Oregon
thigh-deep and hub-deep in mud
and gave it roads that rank
foremost among the highways Of
America. And this without cost
to the general taxpayer, but by
the special taxation of those who
use the roads more than others
the motorists of the state. This
accomplishment, not to be de-
nled' has been realized since 1917.
The statement of Mr.. Yeon, for
the highway commission, made
public late yesterday, is partially
as follows.
For the purpose of his own
campaign, Walter M. Pierce has
attacked this commission and its
program, dealing largely in gen.
eralties and misrepresentation
that cannot pass without chal-
'enge. Oregon has witnessed the
evolution of a commonwealth
from wilderness. Its history ;s
linked with that of its roads
from the Indian trail of the mast
70 the paved highway OF the
present. And much of this road
development, it must be borne in
mind has been achieved within
the past five years. The commits
sion found Oregon a land of mud
and impossible barriers. It pojnta
to the convenience and simplicity
OF travel In the present.
Mr.. Pierce attacks the cor,
mission g plan of raising road
funds. He would substitute
therefore the pay-as-you-go sys-
tenn. He would turn the clock
1t is easily demonstrated that
under the taxation plan he pro.
poses, Sc years would be re-
quired, with the raising of
Sl,oOo,o0o annually, to build the
highways that are in operation
today. Increasing taxes, he would
at the same time retard develop-
ment for half a century.

STATE SENDING
$500 EX- SERVICE
MEN TO SCHOOL

| Approximately $500 ex-serVice
men now attending school are re-
ceiving state aid. Those who give
full time to school work are re-
ceiving $25 per month. Others
who go to school but part of the
day are receiving less according
to the number Of hours per day
that they attend.
The records show that this fall
there were 6905 applications made
throughout the state. Many OF
those making applications decided
not to attend school and in some
cases student has made out two
applications owing to the fact that
he registered in another school
soon after the beginning of the
school year. Officials of the secre-
tary Of states office estimated to-
day that the number would be cut
to about $500.
The records show that during
the time that the educational bill
has been In force and up to Sep
tember 80, the University of Ore
gon has received $204,09S.58, the
students at the Oregon Agrlcul-
tural college $411,57s.09 ana
Willamette university $S5,200.75
This year there are about 500 who
will receive the aid who are at
tending. 0. A. G. and about 30 al
Willamette. The returns have not
been received from the University
of Oregon but 1t is estimated that
there will be close to 100 men
who will benefit. The amount OF |
the checks received at Willamette
university yesterday for their Oc-
tober quota was $555. Owing to
the fact that many Of the men are
taking law and do not give but
part Of the day to school the
amount is considerably below the
$25 maximum.
A survey of the records shows
that a number OF the men who re-
ceixed money from the state last
year have taken out loans which
cancel the educational aid so that
when they pay back the loan they
also have to pay back what was
paid them in educational aid. In
.wo years the number OF ex-seryice
men left in school will be great
y reduced so that 1t is thought
hat there will not be more than
light or nine hundred receiving
he aid.

WHAT GIVES GOLD ITS VALUE?

In answer to Mr.. Edison's question:
What would be the value of troy
ounce of pure gold if all the govern
ments of the world should demOne-
tize it?" N-
Mr. Darwin P. Kingsley, president
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany. answers it in the Nations Busi-
ness Magazine. substantially as fol-
lows:
IF you mean-what would be the
approximate. market value of pure
gold in the money which your second
question suggests-then my answer
is that gold would almost instantly be
at a premium.
Your question reflects one of the
commonest financial heresies, viz,
that when a government coins gold
Dthe value of that gold is increased by
che government stamp. That is not
the fact. Governments coin gold to
protect the people, and for their con-
yenience. The stamp is merely Wis
able guarantee that in that particular
coin there is exactly so much fine gold.
The value was there before the stamp
was added"
Pardon our inelegance. but the an
swef appears to US to be mere punk
What about silver?
Was its value there before the gov
ernment stump was added, if so why
its sudden depreciation as soon as
the governments stamp was taken
from il?
II gold were demonetized by the gov
ernments of the world the price of
gold the same as the price of silver
and the price of all other products
would be governed entirely by the
we'll and long established fixed and
immutable facts of supply and de-
mand."

INSULTING THOSE WHO BRAvED
THE NATIONS PERIL

Our good friend, DR.. Charles w.
Eliot president emeritus of Harvard
College, in an article printed in the
Nations Business Magazine for May,
pronounces the proposed bonus legis-
lation as degrading and insulting to
our nations brave defenders.
How so?
Was it an insult to our revolutionary
soldiers when the nation, in recogni-
ton of their services. made ample
provision for the maintenance of
themselves and their families?
Was it an insult to General LaFay-
ette, when, in recognition of his SER
vices in that struggle he was voted
by the congress large grant of land? :?
Were the land warrants paid the
soldiers who participated in our war
against Mexico and the pensions paid
their widows and orphans, insulting
or degrading.
Were the bounties and generous
pensions paid to the Union soldiers of
the civil war. either degrading or in
sulting?
If so why did the nation, almost
with one accord, vote to thus dishonor
and degrade them?
We take it and believe that the ma
ton will join hands with Senator Cap
per of Kansas in the following state
ment:
Big business men have notified
Chairmana Adams of the Republican
National Committee that they will not
contribute cent to wipe out the COM
mittee's two million dollar deficit if
congress passes bonus bill. These
are the business men he says to whom
the United States government has
paid three billion dollars because their
war contracts were cancelled when
the war ended"
Those men didn't feel insulted.
"A government, says Mr.. Arthur
Brisbane, able to find three thousand
million dollars for disappointed con-
tractors that stayed home and prof.
teered is too poor to pay a bonus to
soldiers that went abroad and lost
their jobs. Nice democracy"

DAUGHERTYS $4,000 FEE FOR
HIS RELEASE OF MORSE

sThe whole state press seems to
be making capital out of the fact or
alleged fact that Attorney Daugherty
at one time acted as counsel for Chas.
w. Morse, and secured his release
from the Atlanta penitentiary.
Suppose it all is true. What of
it. 1t only proves that Daugherty
was mighty good attorney and that
he served his client we'll. When an
attorney takes a clients case it is his
ia = to secure his acquittal and re-
rle l5e, it matters not how hardened a
criminal he may be, nor what hemous
crime he is charged with. When a
physician is called to the bedside of
sufferer, it matters little if that man
be the lowest cad in the world, it
is that physicitn's duty to save his
life.
IF Daugherty got Morse out of At
lanta, he did no more than was his
duty as an attorney and he must have
been good attorney at that and that
is the kind of men we want in official
positions in Washington Florida
Post, Rep.
Well, there are others who regard
it in an entirely different light.
For example here is what Mr.. Stan
ley of Kentucky says of it.
We quote from the Congressional
Record:
Mr.. Stanley. I was going to say
that, as an American citizen, I hope
that ugly and revolving thing did not
happen. In the state of Kentucky,
for instance, 1t is serious offense to
accept a fee for a service of that
character. Whether it is penalized
by the state of Arkansas I do not
know; but the pardon attorney, the
man who prostitutes his political in
fiuence to delude an executive for a
filthy retainer deserves little consider
alton: / do not care to comment on
that; | merely want to ask the Sem
ator if his state penalties such un-
professional conduct, as do so many
states of the Union.
Mr. Caraway. Mr. President, / am
proud to say that the kind of lawyers
we license to practice in my state
do not have to be 'penalized to pre-
vent them from doing a thing like
that
