Wage Comparisons
IF in prosperous time public employes . have reason to grum
ble because of the inadequacy qf their wage, the reverse is
true in periods of depression. Recent statistics of the na
tional industrial conference board show that in 1932 the per
capita averagewage of active employes of federal, state and
local governments, was $1,448 which was 24.3 more than
per capita full-time wages of employes in all other fields of
employment. The $1,448 wage is not large of itself, so small
"indeed is the wage which is only three-fourths of that sum.
From 1929 to 1932 the average pay in the government
group decreased only 1.2, while the average in all other
fields decreased 21.1. This should be observed however,
that there was a time lag in wage cuts in civil service ; but
by 1933 the cuts were severe. That was true in this state and
city," and doubtless true elsewhere, so the final figure will
doubtless be considerably higher than 1.2. .
The group which suffered the worst was agricultural
employes. While their 1929 pay wa3 the lowest of any classi
fication their cut was 45.1 . Doubtless this does not take
into account the fact that most farm workers receive room
and board in addition, which at least gave them subsistence.
There were many farm hands who worked only for room and
board during the winter months on farms. The following
tabulation shows how the various wage groups fared, the
columns giving average wages in 1929 and in 1932 and the

A Fresh Threat
THE American newspaper guild, an organization of news
and editorial department workers on newspapers, at
tacks the language of the Rayburn communications bill which
gives the president authority in event of war or a state of
public peril or disaster to close wire and radio news stations
or censor the news passing over those facilities. The guild
describes this as "most alarming and containing a dire threat
against freedom."
Why is it, government authorities persist in threats
against freedom of communication? When the code matter
was up and publishers protested the possibility of a govern
ment license as a step toward a government-controlled press,
the government officials were mean and nasty in their insinu
ations. The sincerity of publishers was attacked and it was
asserted that their protest was a smoke screen to permit
them to continue bad labor conditions.
Yet here is a plain attempt to legalize power to throttle
the press, under cloak of national emergency. It is almost
an invitation to some future dictator to "declare a state of
public peril" and seize control of the channels of commun
ication. Against this the newspaper guild properly raise
alarm, and the publishers should resist the language of the
section. j
The United States has succeeded fairly well under a!
free press; and there should be no attempt now to beat a
retreat to a muzzled press, with the control resting in the
hands of politicians who may determine their own "emer
gency". Pres. Roosevelt has frequently stated he has no in
tention of infringing constitutional grants of freedom ; con
gress will do well to follow his policy and exclude such dan
gerous clauses from the Rayburn bill.
It grows tiresome to reiterate ; but we will repeat, that
the fascist or communist danger is real ; and that the quick
est way of bringing such a change is through suppression of
a free press.

Rain Relieves Drouth
NORTH DAKOTA reports a $40,000,000 rain. Showers
came in time to benefit the spring crop greatly, though
too late to aid the winter wheat over nvich of the southwest.
The range will quickly revive under showers ; and these may
be expected in the middle west all through the summer. It is
on this slope of the Rockies that the rains are sure to cease in
mid-summer, not to come until falU
Tremendous damage has been done in the midwest to
the season's crops; but rains may revive the pasture and
provide forage for livestock.
The effect of the drouth damage will be serious, perhaps
more so than is realized now. We have felt that the 1930
drouth was a great factor in deepening the depression. It
came when business was on the upturn, killed the 1930 re
vival, and helped grease the skids for further decline. We
pray such will not be the consequence of this malfeasance of
nature.

At Oregon City young Deady rest

little hair trunk which he ha'd.
with a few books and extra cloth,

the plains, he started on foot for
Lafayette, then a promising town
in its third year, and the county
seat of Yamhill county.
S
His purse being nearly empty,
young Deady made an arrange
ment with Prof. John E. Lyle to
aidTiim to the close of the term
of school he was teaching,; for a
compensation sufficient to pay his
board.
W hen the term expired, he
taught another term as an equal
partner, and made $75 a month,
and gained pleasant acquaintance
ships with the best neonl of thA
section and not a few boys and
girls, afterward heads of .families
and prominent in Oregon, were
proud to speak of having gone
"to school to Judge Deady."

"ioung Deady acted as adviser
and aid to the county commis
sioners in getting the legal ma
chinery of the county in motion.
in iwarcn, .Matthew P. Deady
made his debut as a lawyer in Ore
gon before Judge O. C. Pratt, in
three cases, a criminal action, a
civil one and a suit for divorce
the last named had to be carried
up to the legislature, which to
that time granted final divorces in
Oregon. The court was a large un
occupied room In Jacob Hawn's
tavern at Lafayette. The bench
and furniture were improvised for
the occasion but the dignity and
order of the court, so far as de
pended upon the Judge, would not
suffer from comparison with the
highest tribunal In any country.

St. Clairsville, to Henry Kennon,

died of cholera on the plains, and
had given up the amounts for

A TERM, "focal Infection". !s com
monly heard In every day conversa
tion. I wonder how many who use
it actually know its meaning.
This ts an expression which has
come into use
within recent
years. In fact. It
is only within the
past decade that
the condition has
been recognized
and accepted by
the medical pro
fession. By focal infec
tion is meant a
d 1 a t urbance or
Infection existing
somewhere in the
body, but produc
ing symptoms re
mote from the
Infected area. For
example, you may have pain In a
shoulder, foot or toe. Upon careful
examination no Infection is found at
one of these points, but farther In
vestigation may reveal a focus or
point of Infection in the teeth, nose
or tonsils, or even In the gall bladder.
Poisons tli Body
This localized disturbance Is the
point of focal infection. Tha poisons
or toxins generated In the Infected
tooth or tonsil are circulating in your
body. They set upon some weak
place. fcausing an Irritation there, but
so far away as to make It difficult
te find the real seat ef trouble.
Though the teeth, tonsils and nasal
sinuses are the most common sites
of focal Infection, the appendix, gall
bladder or other organ may be the
Place of disease. Bear in mind that
any Infected organ of the body Is a
definite hindrance to good health and
a stumbling block to long life.
No one will deny the dangers of a
diseased appendix. Yet acute pain In
the region of the appendix may be

entirely absent. This confuses the
sufferer who believes himself free
from the danger of an inflamed ap
pendix because he has no pain on the
right side. Digestive disturbances,
such as nausea and headache, back
ache and other pains, may be signs
of focal infection. Their presence
warrants a search for the underly
ing cause of discomfort
X-Ray Examinations
Fortunately, modern methods of
diagnosis and a more thorough un
derstanding of focal InfecUon, have
minimized its dangers. It is now pos
sible to visualize certain structures
and accurately determine if they are
the cause of the InfecUon. 1 refer to
the use of the X-ray machine and
other modern Instruments of diag
nosis. All persons who have vague and
unaccounted for complaints should
be warned of the possibility of focal
infection. Even though your teeth
appear to be in good condlUon and
free from pain I would advise peri
odic X-ray examinations. As I have
stated, the teeth and nasal sinuses
are the most common points of focal
Infection and may be the seat of
trouble elsewhere In the body. A
simple X-ray picture will determine
whether or not they are Infected.
There may be a temptation to over
state the possibilities of focal Infec
tion. It cannot be denied, however,
that many a happy person Is ready
to testify what relief, almost magical
relief, baa followed the clearing- up
of a focal Infection.

Matthew P. Deady was in 1853
appointed by President Pierce one
of the supreme judges of Oregon.
He held court in the sftuthern one
of the three districts, twice a
year in each county. No regular
courts had ever been held there
before. In the summer of 1853,
he paid a squatter to abandon a
claim on Camas Swale in the Ump
qua valley, not far from the his
toric town of Wilbur, which he
took nnder the donation act, mov
ing his family there in the fall of
that year. The location was beau

a low wail of terror as she caught
sight of Ann Haskel s face.
Deliberately the mountain wom
an moved to a rifle which stood be
side the fireplace. As she reached
for the eun, Nance, with a moaning
cry, ieu to her knees, blowly Ann
Haskel turned with the weapon in
her hands
"No, no Ann, don't do hit!
Gawd's mercy, don't do hit!"
"I warned you."
"You sure did. Ann; I know you
did. An' I've alius done jest like
you said you know I have. I ain't
aimin' to tell nobody, Ann. I swear
to Gawd I ain't."
Slowly the mountain woman re
turned the rifle to its place.
Nance, with a sob of relief, rose to
her feet and slumped into a chair.
With a corner of her apron she
wiped the perspiration from her
face, and the action seemed some
how to restore in a measure her
usual stoical calm.
"I'd 'most forgot how hit war

happened so long ago. Hit ain't
made no difference to nobody so

"What difference do you reckon

manded Ann.
Torn between her fear of her com

unknown power which, to her mind.

parts. We-nns couldn't use no more

jest can't see no sense in a body
takin sich awful risks.
Ann smiled grimly. "I reckon as
how you can't, Nanw." She contin
ued, more to hersell than to her
companion: cut what we-uns
hyear in these backwoods has got
air less n nothm to what s out yon
der. All my life I been a-honin' fer
somethin' what I can sense is some
whar out thar. I've alius knowed I
could eit to hit if only I had a
chance. But things has alius kept
a-holdin' me back. Ever since I war
a girl 'fore even I war married
I ve been a-tryin an a-try in to
break away. But somehow things
jest kept on a-holdin' me back more
an' more. When I got to know Jedge
Shannon bit seemed, like he war
gom to he p me. Seemed like he
brung all them things from out yon
der right close so's I could feel 'em
plainer'n I'd ever done before. Then
Ed Haskel war killed an' the jedge
he didn t never come back. I nggered
out after a spell why he didn't an'
I ain't never faulted him fer stayin'
away. So when I seed the jedge
warn't never eomih ag'in, an' hit
warn t no use fer me to go on
a-wan tin' fer myse'f. I jest set
tled down to git fer John Herbert
all them things what I couldn t
never have. Everythine war
a-workin' out fine fer Herb, jest like
I'd planned. He didn't even know
what kind of a woman I war. He
war sure free from everything
what's alius been a-holdin' me.
Then he come home an' found out
about me like I never meant fer
him to do. An' that triflin'. no-
'count artist gal's got him so's he
ain't no better'n them Lodge folks.
Seems like everythine I'd planned
fer him is all messed up. The poor
Doy can t live like we-uns does,
'cause he's too educated. An' he
ain't able to live up to his schoolin'
'cause he can't make the money.
xou want to know what I'm
aimin' to do with this hyear chance
I got now? Wal, ni tell you,
Nance Jordan, I'm aimin' to eit
fer my boy all them things eut yon
der what his education an' iringin'
up has fitted him to have. I'm
a-doin' what I be so's I can go on
a-takin' care of John Herbert jest
like I've alius done. Hit's easv
hough to see that with all them
fool notions 'bout book-writin' an'
sich what he's got long with his
schoolin' thevpoor boy ain't never
eoin' to be able to take care of
hisse'f."
Ann Haskel keDt the first visit
of lawyer Levering and his amaz
ing story of the Haskel fortune a
secret even from her son.
Thar ain't never no use a-e-oin'
off half-cocked," she told Nance,
"an mostly hit spoils everything.
Suppose I war to tell Herb an' git
him all stirred up an expectin', an'
then soraethhr should tarn up an
leave we-uns right whar we be now?
Best wait an' Jay low till hit's all
settled an' I'm plum' sure. I ain't
a-wantin' my boy to think I've gone
plum' crazy alone with all the other
things he's a-thinkin' 'bout me.
Time enough to break hit to Herb
when I've sure 'nough got the
money. As fer other folks
wouldn't nobody believe hit if me
or you war to go tellin' hit around.
I aint aimin' to take no chance of
eittin' myself laughed at all the
balance of my days. Thar's good
reasons, too, why hit's best fer me
an' Herb both that they don't never
know. Folks hereabouts talk too
dad-burned much about my doin's
now. If they war to hyear about
about all this money a-comin' to
me, somebody'd sure be a-stirrin'
up trouble. What folks don't know
ain't goin' to hurt them ner any
body else. Hit's alius safest to let
sleenin' dogs lay J.
When the representative of the
Trust Company had returned and
the business had been concluded in
due legal form, Ann told her son
of the change in their ' circum
stances.
She told him quietly, in as few
words as possible. Calmly she an
swered his excited questions. With
a matter-of-fact business air she
showed Jfim that the Trust Com
pany hafl actually placed this large
fortune to her credit.
But, in spite of his mother's
characteristic emotional restraint
John Herbert felt beneath her calm
a tremendous excitement. It was
as if the whole structure of the
mountain woman's self was being
shaken. Elements of her nature
which for years had been sub
