LET'S LOOK AHEAD

j. K. Browne, writing for the Voters Aid
League, says that there several facts the tax
payers, and those having the welfare of the state
at heart, should not forget:
l, Washington is state of great natural re-
sources;
2. Washington is borrowing state-in other
words, to develop it's resources and industry, this
commonwealth must rely upon capital from out
side of it's boundaries;
3. Investing capital will shy away from state
which is tainted with radicalism and state social
ism and is controlled by legislative bodies and
public officials who antagonistic to business
and industry.
4. Our public officials and our legislative
bodies must be clean fair1ninded and not anti
capital, embarrassment, anti-this, that and the
other thing.
Most of us believe that this state is on the verge
OF new era of industrial and agricultural devel-
opment; that within>a short time, Washington will
be fast forging ahead of other states. There is
ample for this attitudes this state possesses
one-sixth of the United States entire potential
power supply; large deposits of gold, silver and
other minerals still uncovered, and one of the
richest lumber supplies in the nation.
Fewer attacks private business and the ad-
option of a policy which will encourage investing
capital will aid in getting Washington among the
foremost states of the Union.

CHEERFUL NEWS

One of our many authorities on fruit growing
was quoted by newspapers several days ago as
saying that damage to fruit is done, not by late
spring frosts, but by sudden cold weather late in
the fall. After the fruit has been picked, warm,
rainy weather continues the development of the
trees, he said and when a sudden cold snap comes,
the sap is still in the trees Cold snaps late in the
spring, after spell of warm weather, he con-
tlnued, seldom damage fruit to any extent.
We hope that this statement will do much to
lift the gloom that has been apparent whenever
the subject Of mild weather has been preached
Fruit growers generally, when greeted by the
phrase, " Nice day. wont to explain, ''But
We'll pay for it LATER.
After several years Of economic gloom, we
think it has been most opportune that this winter
has been one Of mild temperate weather. It has
enabled public works to continue without halt
thus enabling many man to earn money to tide
his needy family over the winter 1t has enabled
people to get by with little fuel, and less winter
clothing Also, it has enabled farmers to get their
spring work. pruning, blowing and seeding, done
early, so that when the growing season begins, the
rush work is over.
With the fear of Nature s reprisal later in the
spring diminished, let us greet these bright days
with smile.

WHITE BLUFFS CUTOFF

If the White Bluffs-Lind cutoff to
Spokane becomes part of the state
road system and is constructed even
tually, Yakima will have direct high
way to Spokane. At present, persons
wishing to go to Spokane in a hurry
must either swing by a wide loop
through Pasco or go north through
the Kittitas valley before turning east
ward.
The Pasco route takes the motorist
Is miles to the south, although he
wants to go northeast to reach his
destination, while the trip through
Kittitas valley is somewhat out Of the
way. Either route is circuitous and
slows up transportation between va
kina and Spokane, so direct high
way will be welcomed by residents of
Yakima and Spokane as we'll as others
who may have occasion to drive
through Even now, some motorists go
by way of White Bluffs, but that
means driving over poor roads for
some distance.
The cutoff will reduce the running
time between Tacoma and northeast
ern Washington an hour and will put
Yakima on a through line for tourist
travel from northern Idaho, Montana,
and points further east to western
Washington. Those wishing to go
through to Oregon and California OBJ
viously will take the direct route

with the political virility of his aims.
But these things did not matter-it
was his voice that enthralled his audi
ence. AS I watched his collar wilted,
and when he turned his face sideways
I saw that it was beaded with perspira-
ton. This night his cue was taken from
despair, and his role was to change that
feeling into one of elation by promising
almost everything which had observed
as lacking in the lives of the Germans.
When I entered his private office next
morning to photograph him, and looked
at Hitler in repose, I almost forgot the
inspired orator who had so moved the
crowd the night before. Try as might,
I could discover no vital spark in the
mans expression. Trained as photog-
rapher to bring out by various devices
a mans traits for registration upon my
films, nevertheless was powerless to do
so in this instance.
When laid out the prints on my
Evening star., 1934-06-24

table next day I saw that my fears
were confirmed. There was nothing
there-except, perhaps, an average pic
ture of an average man.
It was not until saw Hitler the next
time-exactly one year after my stun
ming failure to get an impression of the
real man on my films-that I caught
what is perhaps the keynote of his
whole character and very likely the
keynote to his amazing success.
On this occasion 7 sat on window
ledge of the foreign office in Berlin
watching a steady stream of frantic,
brown-shirted Nazis marching along the
Wilhelmstrasse, celebrating National
Socialism's ascent to power in Germany.
A LMOST directly across the street, at
\ slight angle to the right, stood
Won Hindenburg, his bristly gray head
lighted from behind by an electric bulb.

standing and waiting-waiting for
the Three Musketeers of National
Socialism-Hitler Goebbels and Goering.
They had come merely to feel "the
presence"-that magnetically moving
quality which lies in the power of
Hitler'S spirit.
The afternoon waned. Evening came.
Now it was dark. And still they waited.
Seven o'clock passed 8 9.
They were not impatient.
Suddenly there came a mighty swell
ing roar from a million and half
threats as a heavily guarded procession
of official cars moved slowly through
sea of upraised arms stiffened in the
Nazi salute. Germany'S swashbuckling
triumvirate, Hitler, Goebbels and Goer-
ing, had arrived at last.
Hitler, the fantastic, of whom Won
Hindenburg had said a few months
earlier: Hitler! I make him a post
mani" Goebbels, the dynamic little
supersalesman of National Socialism,
once enfant terrible of the Reichstag
Goering, deluged with medals and
titles, so conscious of the power of his
fascinating military appearance that he
once requested his chauffeur to drive
more slowly, to afford the adoring popu-
lace chance to feast their eyes on him.
MUs1NG on the meaning OF the trl-
N' umvirate from my perch above the
frenzied multitude, I cast back to
little over year before, when I had
caught my first closeup of Adolf Hitler
the first of many different impressions
of the master Snowman of the Nazi
movement, gathered both before and
after his advent to power. On each of
these occasions caught him in differ
ent mood. For Hitler is so psychically
sensitive to whatever IS going on about
him that almost automatically he
assumes the role that fits the move
ment
recalled how, at the Kroner Circus
as Hitler stalked past his Storm Troopers
to the platform, his entire being was
like a delicate receiving set tuned to
the emotions, the mood of the 5000 who
had gathered there to hear him speak.
buC 10 ME, lOOklIlS dC HIS pdlc, u1i1iil-
pressive face for the first time, he re-
called the frail Georges Carpenter, going
down the aisle of Boyle's 30 acres to
meet his fate at the hands of the
Manassa Mauler, Jack Dempsey.
Suddenly the man began to speak.
Immediately my first impressions van-
iShed. I was caught up by the spell
of his voice and held throughout the
two hours he spoke. 1t was as if he
had caught and become the transmitter
of the mood of his audience, and he
deftly and magically brought out all the
hope that had never died in the breasts
of 65, 100000 despairing Germans, crys-
tallizing it and throwing it back at them
with such vehemence that they were
swept on the tide of mis- enthusiasm to
an ecStatic pitch of excitement akin to
the emotion aroused by skillful re-
vivaliSt.
This despite the fact that he had little
effeminate gestures and bodily move
ments, which were hard to reconcile

accord they glanced up at the President
standing behind a closed window and
cried He'll" giving him the stiff Nazi
salute. 1t was a salute which the aged
President did not return. He merely
bowed his head occasionally, mechan-
ically, as though he could not believe
his eyes.
Leaning out of another window of the
Reich chancellery, saw the figure of
the new chancellor-Adolf Hitler
standing bareheaded, grave and pale in
the open window, acknowledging the
triumphant Hell, Hitler!" thrown up to
him as with one voice.
He was clad in civilian clothes. smil-
ing occasionally, but always smile of
benediction-the smile that somehow in
no way broke the deadly seriousness
of his expression. At once I knew that
it would be impossible to conceive of
him as taking this demonstration and
all which lay behind it as anything but
heaven-Sent. On his face was etched
the unshakable conviction that this tri-
umph had always been inevitable.
1t was that almost fanatical, humor-
less, passionate belief in himself and
his mission that had brought Hitler to
the top against all odds!
Next, Potsdam day-the day set aside
by National Socialism for a mighty
demonstration of sheer military force.
Then Hitler played yet another role.
The day of triumph had become his
tory. National Socialism was under way.
The strain of the years of upward
struggle had been lifted from the
leaders shoulders. He was in-and he
knew it.
So I found him relaxed on Potsdam
day. Relaxed, and supremely confident.
Forgotten, for the moment, was the long
struggle still ahead of him. He had
won his first battle-the battle for the
backing and the alteration of the Ger
man people He knew now that they
were behind him to the utmost. And,
for that day at least, he rested on his
laurels.

graciously allowed his former chief to
"steal the show" At least, outwardly.
Hindenburg, in full uniform, his field
marshals baton in his great gnarled
hand, lowered above Hitler, and re-
viewed the troops. Adolf Hitler, the real
ruler of Germany, merely stood by his
side.
His mood on this occasion was that
of the great actor who, secure in the
feel of his following steps aside for
moment and chivalrouSly defects the
applause to the veteran he had sup
planted.
A chivalrouS gesture?
Outwardly-yes. But Hindenburg, the
old actor, knew that it was but gesture.
The troops that marched, saluting past
him knew it; the audience knew it.
Hitler knew it, and knew that the others
saw that he was making gesture.
THUS Hitler, master Snowman, had
driven home the lesson of his domi-
nance over everything Hindenburg rep
resented by the age-old trick of striking
contrast masked as beneficent chiyalry.

the gubernatorial race against Up

Quoted before leaving Paris that
Sinclair opposition would be con-
solidated with one withdrawal,
Mayer upon returning home yes
terday said he hoped Haight would
stay in the race as a magnet for
Sinclair followers.
"From all I can see,' Mayer
said, "Haight will take more votes
from Sinclair than ne will from
Merriam. He is young, progressive
and has radical ideals that will
appeal to the Sinclair voters, not
to the Merriam voters. -
The motion picture head scoffed
at the possibility of Gov. Merriam
withdrawing. He also character
lied as wild" a statement of JOS

UPHOLD GOLD
HOARD|NG LAW

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. U.P) -
The supreme court today rejected
the appeal of Frederick Barber
Campbell, New York City lawyer,
attacking the validity of President
Roosevelt's gold boarding regula-
tions.
Campbell, who is under indict-
ment for boarding in the New York
federal courts, sought to raise the
question last spring but failed be-
cause of improper technical pro-
cedure.
The attorneys appeal to the
court today was taken in two cases
The one was a suit to force the
Chase National bank to return ~
bars of gold which he had deposit
ed in a safe deposit box. The 9TH
er was in an action to restrain the
federal district attorney from
prosecuting him on the indictment.
