A POINT WELL TAKEN
With commendable zeal, In the interest of public service,
the administrative bodies of many Oregon municipalities ore
exerting every effort to reduce the cost of government and
thereby lessen the tax ioad upon their constituents in these
times of economic stress. Which is very fine but in seek
ing avenues in which to effect a saving there seems to! be
a great and growing tendency to curtail the excuse of main
taining the fire department both in the reduction of man
power and of salaries. (.
State Fire Marshal A. II. Averill views this movement
with alarm, particularly in view of the fact that Oregon's
fire waste, during 1930 and 1931, taxed every person in this
state $8.38, or 58 cents a week an average family. Yet,, ho
says that figures show that fire safety protection afforded
by a fully manned, normal fire department, costs but; 15
cents a week for the average family. j .
His is a point well taken to reduce the efficiency of fire
departments in those days, particularly in view of the many
cases of incendiary fires, would be poor business, an eco
nomical mistake. '
So far, the efficiency of the I a Grande fire department
has been kept at a high degree witness the extremely low
fire loss in this city during 1933. And we trust this situa
tion will not change. To take chances of hurting the effi
ciency of a fire department to save a bit of money is typically
penny wise and pound foolish!
Editor George Cheney, of the Enterprise Record-Chieftain,
with the assistance of his efficient staff, put a fine edition
of that always-interesting sheet into circulation Thursday.
His eight-page weekly was just double the usual size, the
extra pages being devoted to scores and scores of letters from
former residents of that community who are now residing
elsewhere, from pioneers, etc., supplemented by pioneer.
stories of general iffterest. Supporting Mr. Cheney in this
splendid project, the business firms of Enterprise took liberal
advertising space, and all in nil, the Record-Chieftain is one
of the newsiest, most Interesting papers received during the
week.
The higher men climb, the longer their working day. And
any young man with a streak of idleness in him may better
make up his mind at the beginning that mediocrity will be
his lot. Without immense, sustained effort, he will not climb
high. And even though fortune or chance were to lift him
high, he would not stay there. For to keep at the top is
harder almost than to get there. There are no office hours
for leaders. Cardinal Gibbons.
WARMER DAYS IN

A slowly climbing mercury cased

Warmer weather spread from tho

and Northwest Texas. Many of tho
South Atlantic states grew colder.
Tho weather bureau announced tho
coldest officially recorded spots lu

COMPLICATIONS
What Is tho meaning of tho ex

used In connection with disease?
Essentially, a complication la an

and resulting from somo previous dis

icport comes back that the appli

This Is startling news to the suf

tho organic danuigo in his kidneys

MANY KXC1IXI.NT YUiKTAUIKS
Many city dwellers oro deprived of

If you are ono of those who lira tn

ly want a garden of your own, per

Urban gardeners ore very often
faced with poor soil conditions. A per

and all soils must bo constantly built

WASHINGTON Tho daring of
the democratic leadership of the
house In risking as much as It did
with the so-called "gag rule" Is pcr
hapB as remarkable as the narrow but
decisive victory the administration
won.
On the eve of the session anyone
would have said flatly that the high
command" of tho house wouldn't
take such a chance.
It was admitted generally that
Booner or later In the session an effort
would be made to liberalize procedure
i in the house, The pace set In the
j special session when representatives
exercised hardly more than a voting
membership would have its effect, In
the opinion of many observers.
Joe Byrne, Democratic floor lead-
er, prophesied that there would be
no need of "gagging", and added that
he didn't believe in the principle and
never had. "
Yet the session hardly was under
way in earnest before a rule was
brought in far more drastic tlian any
of the others and, according to some
of those who opposed It, tho most
extreme over presented In the history
of congress. ,
It is not so difficult to seo tho rea

Republican opposition to the pcsl
dc.'o's, 'economy bill was fast. bBribm-in-
a menace. The minority party
in the house steadily was wooing tS
Its belief members from the majority.
'fhe entire membership of the
house comes up for re-election later
on In the year. First-termers were
getting uneasy. Salary reduction for
federal employes and other phases
of the cconcmy act were In possible
danger.
Fresldcnt Rorftovelt, both in ' his
ircsai;o to congress and in his mess
age transmitting the budget, stressed
the fact that tho credit of the nation
depended on contlnuatloiioof certain
cconcmy l?i;islntlve provisions.
The houFC leadership decided to act
.'t.ickly and decisively, As Bankhead
of Alabama, who. presented the rule,
put It:
"The j:upo7o ... Is to have tho

BRAIN TRW IN
WASHINGTONNOT
SAME AS BEFORE
By Herbert 11 u miner
WASHINGTON The "brain triist"
has undergone a vast change since
the first days of the Roosevelt ad
ministration but its influence in gov
ernmental affairs still is Important.
Tho position of Professor Warren
of Cornell as monetary adviser to
the president is a striking example
of professorial influence on affairs
of state.
Mr. Roosevelt, however. Is not alone
In relying on professors for advice
and information. Members of his
cabinet have taken their cue from
him and are coming more and more
to rely tin "brain trusters."
There's Secretary Morgenthau of
the treasury, for example. Recently,

Once more Colonel W. S. Van Dyke,
who went to the south Pacific for
"White Shadows In the South Seas"
and to Africa for "Trader Horn," has
trekked to a region of the earth far
from Hollywood and has brought back
a wonder picture. The new ono Is
'Eskimo," filmed during a stay of
18 months in the arctic, and to open
Sunday at the Liberty.
"Eskimo" is the greatest and the
finest of several far north pictures
that have been brought to tfie screen,
including tho epoch-marking "Na
nook of the North," the recent "Ig
loo" and other Intervening produc
tions, and it Is the first Eskimo talkie.
This picture also Is notable for
having something to say, and saying
it eloquently. Its theme is that the
Eskimo, with the food, clothing and
social customs prescribed by his bleak
habitat, is happier if untouched my
the white man's so-called civilisation.
In telling the story the camera
has caught for the screen magnifi
cent vistas of icy land and sea and
stirring scenes of combat. For its
camera work alone "Eskimo" would
stand as a worthwhile contribution
to general knowledge of the geog
raphy and animal life, including tho
human, of the far north.
The cast is mainly native. Mala, In
the principal assignment, gives ft
truly splendid performance. It is a
breach of no confident on the part
of this column, since Hollywood it
self has supplied the information, to
reveal that, though he Is ft native
of the arctic, he is half white, and
his name 'is really R&y Wise.
