Oregon on November 0. 1U28, a to tal or 319,912 ballots were cast for presidential nominees. , Of UiIh! number 205.341 were republican - votes, 109,223 democratic and 5378 socialist and Independent. At the primaries last May there was a total of 141,659 votes cast for nil republican candidates, and 30,535 for the , democratic caudi- - dates. Of tho total republican vote ' at the primaries Joseph received 50,545 approximately 35 per cent.

Oregon Editors' Opinions ; The Gasoline Problem TUB oil Industry, through econ omies 111 upeiulioli and Improv ed refining nictlimlK has made n ivniurknble record ill lowering the cost or gasoline to nmtortsls. In 1913 the average prices of Jasuline was lli.N penis u gullou. and on May 1, HIM. It was 17.13 cents, excluding the tax. In the years between, the cost or living imd the average cost of nil com nudities Increased 74 per cent. Yet the advance In gasoline prices lias , been nut two per m-m, mi m -.-led Ihe industry lias saved the public the difference between 29 2 tents, the pi li e gas w ould have been, based on the Increase In liv ing tosls, and 17.13 cents. Ibis Is probably one in the main reasons why Ihe upward tendency of gasoline taxation has not been strongly opposed dining the lasl few years, (lasollne Is one of the cheapest commodities and most mololisis feel that they can well iiftord to pay. In addition, one, two or three cents tax lor road work flowever. the situation has been rapidly getting out of coniil. Ii Is u rase of iiillng a good horse to death. Today three stales levy a tax of six cents a gallon: nine have a live-cent and IS charge tour cents. Legislation calling lor high er rates is pending in several states. This year It is estimated that the average motorist will pn $20 for gasoline tolls alone. And. n complete the story, gasoline tax funds have been used for other pur poses than road woik In some Wales. A reasonable gas tax. nil ol which is used for roads, is sound. Hut the public Is beginning to show that It resents the political attitude of "one cent tnoie won't make any difference." Portland Manufacturer. Responsibility Without Authority , (Astoria liudget) 4 Tom Halfety was chief of the state traffio department for ten years and he was generally regard-1 ed as a good one. He has been I deposed by Secretary of State Hoss for the good of the service, the sec retary declaring that internal dis sension for two years has handi capped the work of the department. Sometimes it is necessary to sac-) rlfice the Individual to the cause even though it may be unjust -to the Individual,' and Mr. Itaffety may be the victim of such a neces sity. His removal may eliminate the disrension but the corrective measures should not stop there. It has developed that the chief of the traffic department does not have authority to employ or discharge subordinates. Lnder such a condi tion it la too much to expect that any chief can maintain discipline and prevent internal strife. Re sponsibility to, be met must be backed bv authority. That is fun damental to any'siiccessful admin istration.

(Copyright liKllt, King Features . Syudicate. luc) Talks on Health . By ;. DR. R. S. COPELAND FORTUNATELY, serious cases of edema are not common. Llut the Importance of the disease must not be overlooked. It Is a condi tion in which. there is a swelling or a putfluess iu some part of the body. There, is an increased amount of fluid in the tissues. It Is, hi a sense, u kind of dropsy. , The underlying cause must be found. So far as it is understood by the medical profession, it ap pears to come from some change iu the condition of the blood, and. In consequence, overlilliug of the blood vessels. The walls of the blood vessels are very thin, and to some degree porous. In Ihe con nested area, because of the over-filled vessels. Ihe less dense portion of the liquid serum is forced or squeezed through the walls. It lodges In or between the tissues, cau sine them in swell mid harden. The symptoms depend on the utmntity of the fluid. There art various diseases that have edema as a smptom. Persons who have heart or kidney trouble usually have It. In certain stages of Hvi':ht disease, the pun ness ap pears under the eyes, or in the leg? or ankles. Those w ho have anemia, with low blood pressure are apt to have edema. It often occur during prenancy and it is a symptom in hard) nine ol the arteries, as well as in neuritis- neuralgia, or other diseases of the nervous system. In diccftiiou imvy bring .on hivns, with considerable edema, ' Serious Cases Not Common 1-Mema ot the lungs is a serious thin;, It is usually present in pneumonia. There is a marked in crease in the blood supply in the blood vessels of the lungs. This consestion Is the first step In the process of edema. It is then that a leakage of fluids Into tho air cells of ihe luius takes place. If all ihe air cells of the limes wrrch) be filed suddenly with this fluid, death would be as Immediate as in drowning. However, such cases are not common. : F.ven it the attack is mild, the1 symptoms tviav be severe. There j Is a senee of tightness In Hie chest and the patient pants for breath. There Is coughing and a frothy- ex pectoration. The cough becomes constant and blood may be ex pelled, i It is natural that the patient should be frightened and excited This adds to the congestion. Pale ness, cold perspiration and weak pulse may be observed. . Noisy breathing Is a symptom in such a case. i ' In cases of simple edema, when troublesome, rest and elevation of the swelling In the lower limbs 1b tho limbs is likely to give some relief. : Sweating, hot baths and certain drugs are employed by the physician. i r . , . ,, tEven If the condition does not cause much discomfort, it should not be neglected. Every case should receive good medical care,,. Editorials on News , (Continued from page 1) commercial needs of the Alaska of today. TPHKRK Is much speculation as to why Washington and Cali fornia have grown faster ihan Ore gon., Gold has had much to do with It gold and oil. Washington, with little gold of her own, has profited from the gold, of Alaska, because those who dig for gold must be supplied with the necessities ,of life while they are digging, Seattle was the nat ural place to furnish these sup plies. . , California, of course, had BOTH gold and oil. f"UEGON with relatively little gold and no oil, at least so far, has lacked the stimulus to sud den growth that is provided by these tremendous producers . of wealth. But keep your eye on Ore gon in the future, with more of an eveu chance lu coming .decades, she is going to give a mighty good account of herself in friendly riv alry with her neighbors. COMETHING has been said hero of, the ; lnevltableness of Se attle and San Francisco, both dX which were dowered by nature with harbors of commerce. Don't overlook Los Angeles, which had NO harbor, but pos sessed the courage to go out and build one out of nothing, and now has a commerce greater than either Seattle's or San Francisco's.

You know that stenography has 1 been the means by which many women have advanced themselves-and reached executive posi tions in important concerns. The business field is broadening daily in Its scope, and women are fully alive to the splendid opportunities that are open to them.. When you have obtained a position, you could continue your commercial studies, or the study of another language at night school. DEAR NANCY LEE: I am a girl, IS.

Is Al though tloveroor Norblad has no authority over the governing bodies of Mllil,.al subdivisions such as counties, cities, school and port districts he says it would be wisdom tor them to accept the spirit of a letter addressed by the governor to the heads of all stale departments and institutions, urg ing tne strictest economy in the preparation of budgets for 1931 ami 1SJ32. The governor asks that request ed appropriation be confined to absolute necessities, and -that- in stltuilon superintendents ask for no new buildings unless it is im possible to do without them.

Grander understood the one-eyed man. "What's wrong, Mauger?" he asked in a friendly tone. Mauger chuckled mirthfully, dep recatlngly. "Don't want you should git mad." he protested, i "Of course not. What Is it?" "There's chatter forward," said Mauger. "They're talking dirt." Brander's voice fell. . "What?" . ; . "Slater was the first Other nowr Dirt!" - Brander looked about the deck; thorn was no one within hearing "What kind of dirt?" he asked quietly. - r Mauger .looked up and grinned unhappily and apologetically. "You know," he said. You and her- Brander's eyes hardened. "Thanks, Mauger," he said under his breath. 4 Brander- went aft with his prnb lem. - A real problem! Faith be smirched! He would have cut off his right hand to prevent It; but cutting off hi3 right hand would -ve done no good whatever. He would have tought the whole c.ew of the Sally single-handed; but that would have done even less good than the other, lou cannot per manently gag a man by jamming your list in his mouth. And Bran- dor knew it; so uhat while he boiled' with anger and disgust, he held himself In-check, and tried to consider what should be done. He must do someinmg ; but It was no easy task to determine what that sometiing was to be. Brander considered the mem ters of the crew-trthe foremast hands. Slatter he knew an evil -man. Others there were like him. either from weakness or sheer ma lignant festering of the soul. B:;t there were some who were men, some who were decent; some who would fight the foul talk, wisely or unwisely as the ease might be; some who had eyes to see the goodness of Faith and: hearts to trust her. Brander's task was to help these men. He could not himself go into the fo'c's'le and strike; to do so would only spread the filth of words abroad. But one thing he could do. He saw the way. He must avoid Faith. It would not be easy since their lives must lie in the cabin. He must avoid Faith, avoid speaking to her save in the most casual way, avoid be ingTone with her. That much he must do; and something more. The crew would be spying on them now, . watching, .whispering. He must give them proof that their whispers were ill-founded. It was- this word of Mauger'e that led Brander to a determina tion which was to threaten him with ruin in f? end. It was this word of Mauger's that determined Brander to :give himself to the Crew to keep some of them al ways lsight of him; to force them, it he could, to see for them selves thai he had little talk with Faith and few words with her. That was what Brander planned to do. ... . He worked out the details care fully. When he was on deck he must keep in their sight,-and he must keep himself on deck every hour of the day save when he went below for meals. - He decided to do more.- The nights were warm and pleasant. He bad a hammock Bwitng under the boathouse and planned to sleep there; he laid open his whole life to their prying eyes. Let them see for themselves. He was satisfied with this ar rangement, at last. It was the best that could be done. He put it into Action at once, and he -saw within three days time that Slatter and the others had noticed. ;and were wondering and questioning, . .. ' The men were puzzled; the cabin was puzzled, and no one was more puzzled by Brander's " new way . of Ufo tiian Dan'l Tobey. He was puzzled, but he was at the same time elated. For he perceived that Brander had given him a weapon, a handle to take hold of. And Dan'l was not slow to take advan--tage of it. They were working westward at the time, killing whales as they went. Ahead were the Bay of Is lands and Port Russell; southward the Solauder Rock and the Solan der Grounds, where all the big bull whales ot the seven seas have a way of flocking as men flock to; their clubs. A cow is seldom or never seen there: the bulls are slain by scores. Toward this hunt ing.grcund. as famous . for its whales as it was infamous for its ugly weather, the Sally Sims was workli, They would touch at Port Russell on the way. Three days before they were likely to make port, Dan'l made an occasion to have a word with Noll Wing. Noll was on deck. i-ni Kann ami me officers save Bran der. who was with Mauger forward were all below. There was a group of men hy the try works: and Dan 1 strolled that way.

Dan'l smiled and s;iid it w as nothing that mattered; but his tone! suggested that it mattered a erca deal. Noll sternly bade him speak. "It was but the foolish talk of the men. sir." Dan'l said reluctant ly. "I bade them keep their ton cues still." "What manner of foolish talk?" Dan 1 would not meet Noll's , eyes. hy. iu. he said. "Chatter-" 4 ui uv u.iiu o o pui on, Dan'l," Noll said heavily. "Speak up, man!" Dani frowned sorrowfully.-? "It was just their talk about Mr. Brander and Faith, sir. Lies, as I told you. They shut up when I spoke to them." "What talk of Brander and my wife?" Noil asked slowly. Dan'l shook his head. ' "You can guess it for yourself, sir. The men have nothing better to do than chatter and gossip like old women. We need another whale to shut their mouths." What talk?" Noll repeated. Dan'l smiled.. "J- think too well of Faith and of Brander to say it for you," he insisted. - ... Noll fell silent, his brows lower ing for a space; then he waved bis great hand harshly. . ''Bosh!" he sa!d. "Foolishness! Dan'l nodded. "Of course.- Nevertheless, I He. fell silent; and Noll looked at him acutely. "You what?" he asked. "I don't blame Mr. Brander. you understand." said Dan'l. "But it's in my mind that, being with tbe crew as much as he is he should put a stop to it." Noll's eyes ranged the deck Brander was amidships now; and Mauger was still with him. Mauger was scraping at the rail, cleaning away some traces of soot from the last trying out, under Brander's eye. They were talking together; and Noll frowned. . ."You think Mr. Brander is too much with the crew?" he said to Dan'l. Dan'l shook his head. "No, not too much. It's as well for an officer to be on good terms with the men.- Leastwise, some think so. I was-never one to do ft. But no, not too much. Never theless, he's much with them." (To Be-Continued Tomorrow) Around.... The County By R. R. WOOD . .. ,, Standing along the Pacific high way, about a mile north, of Oak land, Is a granite shaft that marks the site of the first immigrant ca bin built In Douglas county. , It aates back to 1846. three years aft er the arrival of that memorable first wogan train in 1843. This pioneer' home was built by J. A. Cornwall- and family, who resided there during the winter of 1846- 1847. These people, accompanied Dy Israel stoley, a nephew ot Mr. Cornwall,- -crossed the plains with the- ill-rated Donner party, who, in their efforts to reach California. were caught in the Sierras and win tered at Donner lake, where sev eral members of the train died from stanifatlon and exposure a year before; Innured to hardships, the Cornwall family came north in to uregon a year or two after reacntng California, and late in the summer of 1846 built the cabin on the hill slope where now stands the monument,- and from this ca bin the creek flowing below took its nanie-Cabln creek. During that first winter starvation again threat ened the party, and they were sav ed from rfeal want by the nephew, Israel Stoley, who proved himself a good hunter, his ability for bring ing in plenty or deer and other game saving their lives. 1 Next time any reader of this lit tle sketch motors-along the high way north of Oakland, watch for the granite monument, and then drive close to it and stop your car for a moment--long enough to read the inscription engraved on the surface of the imperishable stone.

The claimants would al low applications to rest without ac tion. Or, when permits were grant ed and construction according -to law must begin within a year, per haps only a few snovelsful of eurth would be turned merely to comply with the letter but not' the spirit. Oregon charges a license fee that averages only a little more than two cents a horsepower -year and to carry even Jbig projects without development mans only Sinai! added cost to. large concerns interested in their future su. premacy. , , Jf In the case of the California Oregon Power -company filings, however, it is understood to be the intention to generate power large ly lor wholesaling in the San Fran cisco district as the company's soutnern Oregon market is under stood to be practically saturated from- Its present plants and it is also at the present time whole saling to California. Time element Prevails The law gives the state engineer authority to grant perniits for pow er development on Oregon streams. He is required to decide what is the superior use of the stream. He places domestic use first, reclama tion second and then, coordinated, power, recreation and commercial use' such as fishing. He does not have the authority to deny an ap plication but may refer his judg ment as -to a superior use to the state reclamation commission. This commission does not have any authority over the engineer as to which applicant may be grant ed a power right. He says that un der the law he can make no dis tinction between a private interr est or a municipality, the time making .the application being the determining factor. Only the courts stand above him with authority to review his decisions on power ap plications. - Survey Necessary . Oregon streams are credited with ability to develop . between 5.000.000 and 6.000.000 horsepower. The estimate Is based upon no de tailed study showing power sites, feasibility, costs and market. Just what the people could do about es tablishing a public power policy if they so desired, cannot be slated without a power site survey.
