Angel Flax Plant FOR years there have been effort and agitation for the de velopment of. the flax-linen industry in this valley. It has been demonstrated that the valley can grow excellent flax. The state penitentiary plant has proven successful in the first steps of processing, retting and scutching. Two linen mills are now in successful operation at Salem. What is needed now is the development ,pn a free-industry basis of growing-re tting-scutching. A most favorable opportunity for undertaking this is now presented through the of f er of the federal government to assist in the financing of three such plants. Eugene-Springfield district is seeking one, Can-by-Molalla another, and Mt. Angel the third. Mt. Angel, be ing a small comnrwity is asking Salem's support to raise the funds required. There are several reasons why Salem should respond to this appeal. First, Salem has been the home of the flax-linen venture. Our land nearby suitable for flax growing is de voted to other crops, so there is no place for the retting plant here. Mt. Angel district has grown flax successfully for a long term of years. Its farmers are experienced, have the pullers, and are ready to sign contracts for production. It is in Marion county and directly tributary to Salem as a ma jor trading center. Secondly, our linen mills here need more fiber than the state plant can supply. Now they have to ship fiber in from abroad, at heavy expense. If for any reason the state plant should close or if laws would tighten against prison-made goods as is threatened the mills here would be wholly depen dent on foreign fiber unless these local plants are established. vvniie mere nave Deen losses to investors in the linen manu facturing end, both the mills here are operating on a profit able basis, maintaining steady and substantial payrolls. The big mill is completing a reorganization which will make it the strongest in its history,' and with the best management. These mills now provide a payroll of $100,000 per annum with possibilities of great expansion in the future. m r A real reason in addition is that this valley should def initely undertake the experiment of growing and retting and scutching flax so we may know for certain the possibilities for the industry. The amount requested of Salem, $6000, is not large compared with what is at stake. If this experiment proves a success the industry will expand and the valley should prosper because it is practically the only place in the United States .able to grow fiber flax. Mt Angel offers aaideal field for the test. Not only are the farmers there experienced in growing flax, but they are experienced in cooperative management, which will be the form the enterprise will take. The Mt. Angel cooperative creamery is one of the most successful in the state. Tne same group of level-headed farmers who have guided its develop ment will have charge of this plant. The state has offered the services of its experts for counsel and advice in the process ing end of the business. . With the government making an outright gift of $19,500 for the plant, and the Spokane bank for cooperatives making a low rate loan on a large part of the machinery and equip ment required, the amount of private capital to be subscribed is not large. Under the leadership of the Salem chamber of commerce a drive will be put on to raise Salem's portion. Mt Angel has already raised a substantial amount and will raise more. Quick action is needed so the farmers may get seed for planting within a few weeks. Considered as an investment there is a very fair chance for earning the return of six per cent on the preferred stock W n n la Kainw rf ...4.1. J F , viicieu, wmi leuim oi principal over a term of years. But the investment is justified to test out thorough ly the possibilities of growing, retting and scutching flax here. j Oregon City is assisting Canby and Molalla in tneir raising of funds. Salem should respond promptly to Mt An gel s appeal. It will mean much to that community to get a new local industry started. It will mean much more to this community as a linen manufacturing center to secure a steady supply ofraw material, and to prove to the world that the primary stages of the flax-linen industry are practical. Calling New Deal Bluff SENATOR CHARLES H. McNARY rarely enters actively in senate debates, exerting his influence chiefly through personal contacts and in committee discussions. He has however taken the lead in objecting to the camouflaged AAA which the senate committee on agriculture has accepted from the new dealers of the department of agriculture and is try ing to put through the senate, though even the democrats have no heart in the task. It is false to accuse Senator Mc Nary as opposing the farmers' interest, as the Pendleton . East Oregonian has done. He was leading the fight for farm relief when most of the new dealers were iust cettino- mi nf college. In this case he is fighting the measure because it is just a mimy cusguisea aaa, almost certain to run foul of the ' same obstacle as the old act In attacking it the senator is do Sk fc . V . . M M M ing me zarmers a genuine service; and the new dealers are resorting to trickery, trying to deceive the farmers until after the next election, knowing that.no final court action may be had before that time. Senator Borah yesterday gave his opinion that based on the study he had been able to make, the bill would not hold up in court Senator Norris said of the bill when first consid ered In committee that it would not meet the court require ments for constitutionality. , .President Roosevelt, when asked if he was going to pro pose a constitutional amendment to give congress the power the court says it lacks, said it was not necessary because he knew15 ways" which Would be constitutional It is queer, if such is the case, that his henchmen have not employed at least Nary would not be protesting the bill if it had genuine merit and a clean claim to constitutionality. Borah to Enter Primaries SENATOR BORAH has declared his intention of filing for the presidential nomination1 in the Ohio and Oregon pri maries. He already has an active organization in the for mer state, and sohJe active opposition, as indicated in the threat of ex-senator Fess to "take a walk" if Borah is nom , inated. In Oregon Senator Borah will enter with no present organization and no pronounced opposition, except from the Townsenders who regard him as a turncoat. He flirted with the Townsend people, only the : ing the plan impractical. This Borah candidacy is a queer one. He is 71, always known as an off-ox, with some warm personal admirers (Alice Longworth is one), but no compact body of support ers, no money, and no very explicit platform. Is he a candi date out of personal ambition? Hardly, because he has made no preliminary build-up to evidence such ambition. Is his jpurpose to strengthen hia chances in Idaho? Hardly; for it is generally conceded that he can defeat Gov. Ross for the senate. . Otrf own opinion is that his is principally a contest for ' control. Borah does not expect the nomination, but has to go through with a campaign now that he has been drawn into one. He is concerned with party leadership. In this he is - uvk. . t j i ..v.. aim Kit . ... let them down hard by declar ; . , , I reat Game of Politics By FRANK R, KENT Copjrrijfet llSS, by TU Baltbasr fa The Hymn of Hate v WashingtonrFeb. t. ONE OF THE chargu m ad by Alfred SL Tilth upon which the New Deal Smearing department. a ut nor . or Sen ator Robinson's radio reply, did not touch was that this ad ministration It engaged . in an attempt to ar ray tins against class. Perhaps the reason is the effort Is now practically un disguised, rap idly becoming Frisk b. Blast an arowed po litical objectlYe of New Deal strat egy. THE RECORD on the subject is interesting. It rather bears out Mr. Farley's forecast that this is going to be a "dirty" campaign. It is also depressing to those who feel that the stirring up of claw hatred is a horrible thing nd would like to see a fight in which the merits of men and measures were not wholly obscured and some degree of tolerance and fair ness evinced on both sides. That none of these' things will be pos sible if the present direction of the Roosevelt campaign is pur sued is clear. The broad general idea is that the opponents of the President and those who distrust his judgment are either million aire oppressors of the poor, who want people to starve, or tools of such men. In brief, the New Deal theory Is that the rich are all against Mr. Roosevelt, the poor all with him. IT IS Mr. Roosevelt himself who months ago struck this class an tagonism no e with his references to himself a for "human rights," while those who differ with him are for "property rights"; wlta his remarks about "wen-warmed members of well-stocked clubs" and his denunciation of the oppo sition as creatures of "intrenched greed." All his closer subordin ates sing in the same key. The hair-triggered Mr. Hopktnr tells his aides that "this is a tight be-j tween the Haves and the Have Nbts and we are with the Have Nots.' Professor TugweH urges j an alliance of vorkers and farm ers against business greed. Mr Ickes pictures the great wealth owners as opposed to progress and his publicity department coins such striking phrases as "bandit bankers" for the pure-hearted Mr. Farley. THE MOST RECENT outburst of this sort comes from Mr. Edward F. McGrady, assistant secretary of labor. At tbe convention of the United Mine Workers, dominated by Mr. John L. Lewis, whose al liance with Mr. Roosevelt is com plete, Mr. McGrady dramatically asked, "Do you, as the representa tives of this great anion, stand with the President of the United States?" And when the delegate had ceased yelling their approval, he shouted, "Let that be the an swer to the money bags of Wall street." As the New York Times ays, among the "money bags of Wall street" he Included all those who do not approve all the legis lation of the last few years. THIS MAY. as the Times points out, be particularly improper talk from an administration official supposed to function as a negotia tor between employer and em ploye, but it la entirely in line with the rest. Mr. McGrady is simply singing the New Deal hymn of hate. Everybody on the other side is a bloated bondholder or billionaire; the Da Pontc are all devils; Raskob Is a villain: A I Smith, once a poor boy, now dai sied by diamonds and dollars, U against the plain people; the American Liberty league is com posed exclusively of "blood suck ers and leeches." All of which soon or late gets to be ridiculous to those who stop to think. ASIDE FROM the incongruity of this sort of stuff coming from a President who spends hi vaca tions on Vincent Astor's yacht, and aside from the fact that the Du Ponts. the Raskobs, the Mrs. Sa binjs, the Smiths and others of the Liberty league helped put him in the White House, this line of campaign seems to Indicate two things: One is that it would not be adopted if the administration were not definitely on the defen sive, conscious that it has lost the confidence -of the substantial con servative elements. It is distinct ly the strategy of desoeration. The other is it is primarily based on the belief that the people are not smart enough to see through to the facta, perhaps they are not. but they always have been In the past. There is nothing new in this class appeal, it has been made many times before, nerer with success. True, in the past. It eame from demagogues on the outside trying to get in. This is the first time It has been Initiated by a President in office, trying to be reelected. It remains to be aeen how much difference that maks. Needle Club Meets GRAND ISLAND, Feb. 8.

THB pout nam for bad breath. Is a very common com plaint In and of ttself, it is not a disease; it is merely a symptom er a sign of some physical disorder. Too many bUv that a mouth wash or dentifrice of eom sort wtU correct bad breath. As a matter f tact. It serves merely to cover up tbe odor, or to replace it with a more agreeabi one. There can be no ob jection to this, of course, but it will effect no permanent cure. Ther are many causes far this condition. Among th most common are infections of th teeth, tonsils, nos or nasal sinuses. Faulty eating habits, improper diet, indigestion and constipation are causes which are too often overlooked. Certain con stitutional aliments may produce halitosis. Possible Causes Children with enlarged and infected tonsils ar frequently th victims ef bad breath. Th inflamed tonsila se cret a sticky, mucus substance. This adheres to th tonsil and permits food particles to accumulate in th pock ets and depressions of tbe tonsiL In time th food putrefies, giving rise to aa ttnpteasant edor. In some casa, th only possible cur He In th re moval ef th diseased tonsils. Sometimes tbe cause for halitosis is not so easily detected. la these puzzling cases It can sometimes be laid at the door of some germ or In fection tn th mouth. Of course, there is ne such thing as a mouth entirely fre from gums. They thrive la the mouth because there they find aa abundance ef moisture and food. Lodging between th teeth and under the gums, they quickly multiply. The saliva restrains th growth of germs, but in ttself does not have strong antiseptic qualities. It acts chiefly as a flushing agent, aiding In the mechanical removal of bacteria and putrefactive eubstances. It is always advisable to look to the stomach and intestines as a poe sibi source of halitosis. The germs may be washed Into the stomach. This may net be a very scientific ex planation, but no doubt the germs have much to do with th formation of obnoxious odor and gases. May Be Infection Sometimes halitosis Is not due to a germ or Infection, but result from faulty eating habits. For example, persons wbe are careless about cbewtef their food and who rash through their meals are very often the victims ef this unpleasant symp tom. Exeaiv fermentation of food. Indigestion, coaetlpatten er other di gestive disturbances, may be th on. deriving eauee ef halKosU. If yen suffer front baUtoaie do net depend on heme remedies for relief. Consult with your doctor. He will advise yon what the causative trouble is and what to de for It. Halitosis la not serious as regards health. But It Is einbarrasstng, caus ing mental distress and annoyance to others. It should be corrected. Answers to Health Queries Mrs. A. Q. What should a worn, an of 44, 1 feet I Inches tan, weigh? What should a boy of IS. f feet tan. weigh? A.

Mr. Editor for your timely and magnificent sug gestions In this morning's paper regording "Oregon Scenic Bean ties."

We allow a sister state, less blessed than our's in many ways. to steal much thunder "Califor nia fruit," "California nuts," and. if it were physically possible she would appropriate our scenery.

PROSPERITY FOB OREGON To tho Editor: Under a new plan, the farmers in Oregon can be made to increase their acreage to keep up the sup ply of farm products in accord ance with the demand; and also make a profit on their rotten windfalls from trees and vines, which are a dead loss to them at present. This can all be brought about by increasing industry and selling Oregon products to Oregon. The methods of accomplishing this would be: 1. A yeast factory In Salem to take care of the local hop indus try. 2. Six or seven distilleries In Salem to process alcohol from farm products such as frnita and grains,' to burn Instead of import ed crude olL S. A sugar refinery in Salem to take care of sugar beets, which can be grown locally. ' 4. A law passed whereby It would be unlawful to tax these products more than one cent on the dollar in transaction from the producer to the consumer. I sincerely believe that this would abolish unemployment in Oregon. However, I am not a statistician and would like the opinion of any mathematicians in terested. Sincerely yours, C. L.
