Thus the practical pol itics of the situation as well VUUUUi B uetiaiun. aius lo j use ; After alL aren t the people tled? Ever since 1928 the water question has been a matter hi local agitation. It has been in politics since 1930. Now there is the prospect of peace, and from expressions of public Opinion that have come to us the people are happy over the -prospect; and for the most part satisfied with the decision ef the council. If such is the case, why , Apilling over the water question? This paper got licked in the choice it has had; but it takes the defeat in good grace; iimd is anxious to have the city get the dispute jbehihd it, to gird itself for constructive workTor the generalgood. The suggestion of the Capital Journal to use Mill creek because its water is taken from the North Santiam just below the proposed intake is not plausible. The creek flows through a muddy flat with very low banks, through many barnyards, past many houses. By the time jtvith soil and contamination. It would require filtration and pumping cost would remain The pipeline from the North Santiam will deliver the water into the reservoir so the only pumping charge will be to lift water into the standpipe to serve the upper portion of Fairmount hill. The quality of as the Little North Fork, but the supply is greater and more certain. Baar and Cunningham contemplated a supplemental supply from the same source North Fork.' s Going to the North Santiam will cost about a half -million inore. The savings in pumping ing the interest load, and the expected increase of consump tion in the coming years will help to pay off the debt. The fact remains that thecitizens have voted decisively against tse of the Willamette ver; that they are willing to bear the extra burden in order to get what they call mountain wa fer. If the matter goes to a referendum we have no doubt the verdict of the city council will be overwhelmingly sustained. The Statesman urges the I? er as settled, to stop agitation Iking about la wing anc referendums. Instead of nagging at the city authorities for what rejoice that the water question has been settled. They should proceed promptly to inform the world that within a few months "Salem water" will no longer be the cause of ill re pute for the city but of good repute. If going to the river as It emerges from the mountains is to cost us a half -million dollars extra, then let us advertise that to the world, and ex ploit our extravagance to provide the capital city of the state with fine "mountain" water. It's time to look ahead, not behind. f ;- European Realignment TUCKED in thrhews is the report of conferences looking to the revival of the old triple alliance: Italy-Austria- Germany. Formed originally in 1882 and counterbalanced by the triple entente of Great Britain, France and Russia formed in 1907, the triple alliance did not hold when the world war broke out, Italy finally falling in with the allies, pisgruntled with France and Great Britain over being de prived of some of the spoils of the war, Italy held off lining np with Germany out of jealousy over Austria. Italy wanted to' hold Austria in pawn, and used the heimwehr to repulse the nazi influence, winning complete control with the abor tive nazi putsch when Premier Dollf uss was assassinated. 't For a long time Italy-clung to France as support against the objections of Great Britain to the Ethiopian adventure, but with Laval replaced by the socialist Sarroult, Mussolini has evidently given up hope of breach in the league sanction ist countries and so is courting the principal non-league na tion of Europe, Germany. j Italy and Germany have some common ground. Both are ruled on the fascist model, with a dictator at the top. Both have armed to the teeth, though Germany is not through with her task of rearming. Italy is trying to solve its internal political and economic problem by colonial expansion. The prophecy 4s that Germany will make the same attempt, or that Germany will find if self forced into war within two years because the" artificial prosperity due to rearmament cannot go on forever. Guglielmo Ferrero, Italian historian, writes from Geneva (his hostility to Mussolini forces him into exile): I should not be at all suprised if in a few years the Nail ; Government finds Itself faced by this alarming contradiction: to ; be forced Into war by the enormous quantity of armaments it ; - has made, and not daring to embark on, or shrinking from the j responsibilities and risks of, a war in Europe." .' : Dictators whip their followers into nationalist frenzy; they cultivate the war fever. Finally a point comes when they must provide an outlet for the emotionalism and for the military machine they have created. Mussolini is busy pour ing Italy into Ethiopia with limited success so far. What will be the escape mechanism for Hitler? The apparent al ternates are, war or internal collapse; and no dictator suc cumbs to internal collapse without an effort at diversion. The gravity of the European situation is not just the threat of war, but the threat of internal collapse, war or no war. Com munists pose as the residuary legatees of fascism. Statistician's View of the Townsend Plan ON this page appears a study of the Townsend plan made by a professional statistician, the acting chairmar of the United States Central Statistical board. It is pub lished for the information of thegeneral public and particu larly for those who are affiliated witlne Townsend organ ization, as cold statistical analysis of the distribution of the national income had the Townsend plan been in effect in recent years. It shows that for 1934 while the persons aged 60; or'oyerwouldTeceive - $2400 each, the non-pensioners would have received only $197 per annum; and that to pro vide the $200 a month by a transaction tax on the transac tions probably subject to the tax would call for a sales tax of 26 per cent on the 1934 basis. . . , The answer of the Townsend group is that the enforced spending of the pension money would start an orgy of buy ing. Perhaps; It is equally plausible that the application of a twa per cent transaction tax would freeze up buying, the public would go on a buyers' strike as they have many times Jn the past.- - .

Krai ind t a far greater extent than any of his pre decessors perhaps man au or. them together CERTAINLY, the President's fa mous press conference, which General Johnson asserts was part of the "Frankfurter strategy to put the Constitution "on the spot," did more to repopularize that Instrument than a hundred years of political and educational oratory. Instead -of responding to the Roosevelt "horse and buggy" phrase a expected by his profes sional adTisers, the public gener ally reacted quite violently in the other direction. The net result was to create a vibrant sentiment for both court and constitution such as no one can remember ex isting before. IT DID more than that. It started a discussion which was led to the printing and distribution la cheap pamphlet form of hundreds of thousands of copies of the consti tution and the publication of many Illuminating and interesting articles on the subject. Recently interest has been stlmnltaed by violent assaults upon the supreme court by Mr. Wallace, the Roose velt secretary of agriculture. Sen ator Norrls of Nebraska, one of his chief senatorial supporters; Senator Robinson, the senate leader, and others. NATURALLY, these assaults uPon the constitution . have given the other side their chance to make the most of such an issue. Accord I n g 1 y, the republicans and anti- New Deal democrats have clutch ed the constitution to their bos oms and become its stanch and exceedingly articulate defenders. Now, while it is true before the campaign Is over or perhaps ev en now a great many people will become bored with the constitu tion, it is also true that a great many will acquire information about it which otherwise they would lack. And that is a bene ficial thing for the country as a whole for which Mr. Roosevelt is directly responsible. HOWEVER, It is not only con cerning the constitution that the New Deal has spread Information. The various experiments Involved in the great Tugwelllan effort to Make America Over" have caus ed those who believe, this effort clashes with the American system to dig into history an dresurrect the words of distinguished but long dead American statesmen. These have been quoted against Mr. Roosevelt almost as much as he has been quoted against him self. Extracts from the messages, speeches and writings of Wash ington. Lincoln, Jefferson. Madi son, Cleveland, Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, have been used to show the new deal fallacies and warn of the direction In which we are headed. IN NO other administration of our times have the great characters of American history figured to such ai extent. No other administra tion has 'presented to the people the easy opportunity - to become familiar with the doctrines es poused and the beliefs cherished by these great men of the past. That the dissemination of these facts has been of value hardly anyone will dispute. Few could fail to be impressed with how strikingly their forgotten words apply to the present situation. For example, in the light of the pres ent class appeals upon which the new deal campaign will be made, these words of Daniel Webster. uttered in the senate one hundred and three years ago, are little short of amazing. "THERE ARETsaTd Mr. Webster in 1833, "persons who constantly clamor. They complain of oppres sion, speculation and the 'perni cious influence of accumulated wealth. They cry out loudly against all banks and corporations and all means by which small cap italists become united in order to produce Important and beneficial res nits. They carry on mad hostil ity against all established institu tions. They would choke the foun tain of Industry and dry all streams. In a country of unbound ed liberty, they clamor against op pression. In a country of perfect equality, they would move heaven and earth against privilege and monopoly, in a country where property la more evenly divided than anywhere else, they rend the air shouting about agrarian doc trines. In a country where wares of labor are high beyond parallel, they would teach the laborer that ne is bnt an oppressed slave." - Lions Annual Party Is Planned, St. Patrick's , Plans for tha Salem Lions clnb's largest annual party, hon eying Its president, are - being shaped up by a special committee consisting of Roy Stewart, chair man; B. A. Newman. George Rho ten, Lloyd Lee, Kenneth O. Bran don, president, and Ralph H. Kletzing, secretary. ,LTh : affair, to be a dinner and dance, will be held St. Patrick's day. It " Is the Townsend (By Stuart .'Rice, acting chair man of tha United State Central Statistical Board, in presiding at a joint meeting of the American Statistical association and the American Association for Labor Legislation, at Commodore hotel. New York . city, December 28, 1935.) Dr. Townsend'a demand for a revision of tho science of arith metic by law gives special timeli ness to this discussion. Behind him is a long Un of illustrious precedents. There hava always been men who demanded that human will be elevated above fact, above reality or above nat ural law. Sometimes the effort has succeeded. We are told that the seal parted for the children of Israel at the command of Hoses. More often the attempt has failed.' King Canute, possibly through lack of votes or the right statistical control, did not per suade the tides to obey" his com mand. More recently there have been proposals to abolish history, bat history has not yet disap peared. X anticipate the same with respect to the multiplication table which the Townsend plan, with the most commendable of motives would supplant. Nevertheless it may be neces sary to give some thought to this laudable proposal in connection with the topic we are discussing today. Whether old-age pensions are 4worth their cost" requires some initial definition. What old age pensions do we mean? The Townsend old-age bonanzas, or the carefully devised schedules of benefits and annuities permitted under the Social Security act? And what kind of costs are we talking about? Fiscal only? Or In addition, the human costs of a scheme so cruelly mischievous, ip crassly unworkable, so filled with possibilities of wreckage as the good Dr. Townsend and bis a sistlng high - pressure promoters are seeking to foist on this coun try T The possibilities of the Town- send plan, "will be more apparent if we try to estimate Its effect had it been in operation since 1829. Let us assume for this pur pose that it had not disrupted the economic order, as many think it would do. With equal fairness, let us assume that it had not produced the magical results wit nessed by its devotees in their peyote-llke visions. In other words, let us assume that the na tional Income had remained the same. On this basis, what redistri butions of national income would the Townsend plan have effected? How much would have gone for pensions? What would have been the incomes of non-pensioners, at ter the pensioners had taken their allotted portions? Health By Royal S. Copeland, M.D. IN FORMER TEARS, an attack of bolls was believed to be caused by Impoverished blood. W do not hold to that view now, but by rtnt living the blood caa be kept pure and abundant This to Important Manv akin Infections, including bolls and carbuncles, are caused by a lowered resistance of the body due to the lack of fresh air, sunshine and nour ishing food, a state of affairs sure to Impoverish the blood. The Infection which produces the boil to due to a g-erm. usually "sta phylococcus aureus". This is a pretty big name, but the ailment it produces to much worse. This evU germ to ever In our midst. It may be found in any public place where crowds gather. It enters the body through a scratch or other In Jury of tha skin. Usually It to "rubbed Into the skin" by friction or pressure, such as is produced by a tight collar. Soiled clothes and dirty hands are responsible for many bolls. Uncleanllness predisposes to such skin disturbances because the germ thrives In unsanitary places. Some times a localized Infection, tike that found In diseased teeth and tonsils. or nasal sinuses, gives rise to a boil, which is a deep-seated Inflammation of the skin with pus formation. Faulty Metabolism Boils are apt to occur when there exists what the scientists call "faulty carbohydrate metabolism". By this is meant that the body to unable to burn or properly dispose of the con sumed sugar. When this' happens, excessive quantities of sugar are stored In the blood and tissues. Per sona who have this defect are very often susceptible to recurring attacks of boils. One who to afflicted this way should have the urine examined to deter mine the possible presence of sugar. As a rule he is overweight, leads a sedentary life, and gets too little ex ercise and fresh air. Common sense dictates what to do under these cir cumstances. Recurrent boils are especially com mon la young persona who Indulge freely la rich foods, sweets, fried foods, salt, peppers and apices. Lack of body hygiene to a contributing fac tor. Favorite Spots The favorite places of attack for boils are the back of the neck, the armpits; buttocks, thighs and grolna A boil may be so painful as to In capacitate the victim and actually to require prolonged rest In bed.

A. IscJ Elan Practical? According to the Fifteenth Cen sus, the United States in 1930 contained a total of 10,385,028 persona 60 years of age and over. The numbers for 1929 and for 193 1-3 (, inclusive, must be esti mated. L Estimated number of per sons 60 years of age and over: 1929 10,120,000 1930 -10,385,021 1931 10,850,000 1932 10,915,000 1933 11.180,000 1934 11.445,000 Each of these persons la to re ceive 8200 per month, or 12400 per annum. The amount required tor the years 1929-34 would be as follows: H. Total pensions, at $3400 per person: 1929 824,288.000.000 1930 1931 1932. 1933 1934 24,924,000.000 25,580,000,000 28,190,000,000 28,832,009.000 27.458,000,000 Each and every year it would be necessary to raise sums of this magnlture by some form of taxa tion. Presumably these taxes would come from- national in come, since borrowings or accum ulated capital could not long suf fice. The following estimates of national income paid out were originally prepared by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce In cooperation with the Na tional Bureau of Economic Re search, and as later revirfed are taken from the November, 1935, issue of the Survey of Current Business: . . HI. Estimated national In come paid out: 1929 .378.632.000.000 1980 1931 1932 1933 72,932,000,000 61,704,000.000 43,382,000.000 44,940,000.000 50,189,000.000 1934 The amount 61 the national in come left over for the remainder of ' the non-pensioned population under 80 years of age will be the remainder of the item in III less the corresponding items In II: IT.

Estimated number of per sons under 60 years of age: 1SZS 110,990.000 1930 .112,890.020 1931 112,200,000 1932 113.719.000 -.114.29S.00 1934 : 114.797.000 From IV and V. therefore, we may derive the per eapita annual income lor the population under 60 as compared with the $2400 per annum for those of ages 60 ana aDove: VX Per capita Incomes Non- Pensioners pensioners iz 2400 . 490 1930 2400 427 1931 2400 S19 1932 2400 195 1933 2400 158 1934 : 2400 197 In other words, to emnW th phraseology of Dr. W. S. Woytin ky, the Townsend plan would create a new privileged class, re ceiving government pensions In amounts 5 to 15 times hietaer than the average income of the remainder of the population. And these pensions are in addition to any income that they may receive from other sources. To the extent that such supplemental Income is received by this privileged class. in aaaiuon to its pensions, the amounts of the national lncnmA available for non-nensionera. shown in VI above, would be cor respondingly reduced. Attention has been called hv other critics to the pyramiding effect on prices of the proposed 2 to 3 per cent tax on transac tions, upon which Dr. Townsend depends for funds to pay the pen sions. The possible yield from such a tax has not been so ex tensively considered. .Careful esti mates by Dr. Woytinskv Indicate that the total volume of transac tions subject to the proposed tax would probably not be far from the following figures: VII. Transactions subject to tax:" 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 $200,000,000,000 170,000,000,000 135,099,000,000 100,000.000,000 95,000,000,000 105.000,000,000 . It is difficult to estimate real fetically the rate of tax upon these transactions that would have been necessary to provide the $200 pension for aged persona. Each successive tax would actually hare raised the price involved in the next transaction, with the effect of compounding tax upon x. Te higner prices forced by successive taxes would increase the total money volume of trans actions and, hence, lower the tax rate upon them. If we stick to our assumntions. however, the physical volume of transactions and prices would have remained the same, and the rates of tax upon transactions would have been not 2 or 3 ner cent but in the neighborhood of the follow kjig: VIII. Transactions tax neces sary to pay pensions: Per cent 1929 19 1930 15 1931 1 1932 24 1933 28 1934 21 To reasonable men and women the preceding figures will be plain. I shall net attempt- to weaken their damning implica tions for the Townsend plan by further exposition or moralizing.: Mankind will always confront difficult and delicate problems ""ssS"s""sa"i"ssissssssssssssjBB associated with advancing age. The elderly must adjust them selves to an unwelcome but un avoidable dependency, physical and often financial. Within the intimate family group these ad justments deserve the tender pa tience and the ungrudging self sacrifice of those who retain their vigor and their earning capacity. Within the broader structure of organized society the problems of age deserve the devoted solicitude and the generous provision of aid by the state itself. But to take advantage of the emotions evoked by these desper ately human problems to perpe trate a fraud upon old and young alike what shall I say of it? I leave you to supply the appropri ate expletive.

Kipling's poem and 2-2 1-3 C Davenport's cartoon changed, the nation's ideas of' Admiral Dewey: U (Concluding from yesterday:) Miss Geer in her letter said the woman Admiral Dewey married wee the "widow of one of the prominent Washington McLeans." o . She was a prominent Washing ton widow, but at the time she was not a McLean. Only a nee Mc Lean; presumably of the promin ent Ohio family of that name. She was, though, a Washington McLean, in the fact that she was a daughter of Washington JIcLean of Cincinnati, Ohio. S Regular readers of the Bits col umn will recall that, in the issue of Oct, 4 last, in the series on General Sheridan after the Civil war, something was said of the first husband of the bride (the second bride) of Admiral Dewey. That part of the story ran like this: When Second Lleutenat Philip H. Sheridan was detailed to hare charge of old Fort Yamhill, Ore gon, not tar northwest of the site of the present Sheridan, Oregon, he at once set out from Fort Van couver for that point; and, on ar riving there, he found Lieutenant Wm. B. Hazen In charge. The date of his arrival was April 25. 1856. and the place was then called "Hazen's camp." It had not received Its final name, was new, and the first buildings were still In course of construc tion. S S Little did the second lieutenant. Sheridan, when he relieved the first lieutenant, Hazen, in a re mote section of the then far away territory of Oregon, under what different circumstances of high command and after what glories on battle fields of a great war, their paths were to cross not so very long after that April day. e . Sheridan became the greatest cavalry leader of the Civil war. which meant the foremost for all time trp to that period, besides one of the most successful major gen erals of that struggle, comparable with urant and Sherman. Hazen became an outstanding military leader in that struggle. and chief of the signal service of the united States army; all but the creator of that service. In 1867, General Sheridan hav ing been sent to clean np the In dian troubles of the plains, tak lag over the command at Fort Leavenworth from General A. J. Smith, with' whom he as second lieutenant and Smith aa eantatn had served in Oregon, especially m tao final days of the so-called Rogue River, war, he (Sheridan) soon removed his headquarters to Fort Hays, Kansas. From that point he operated nntil the Indian troubles over a wide field, and with various warring tribes, were settiea almost finished for all cm. t There, at Fort Hay, tho paths or me iwo men. Sheridan and Ha sen, again crossed. General Him had been sent thither as a repre sentative or, me Indian peace com mission, and had his headquart ers at Fort Hays. S V V J. H.

The Admiral Dewey biography shows that he was born Decem ber 26, 1837, and died January 16, 1917. and this statement ap pears: "Married, November 9, 1899, to his second wife, Mrs. Mil dred McLean Hazen.' (Did the reader note that Hazen and Dewey both died Jan. IS, the former in '87 and the latter la 1917?)- Sheridan was bom March 26. 1831, Hazen Sept. 27, 1830. WM the reader note that when Sheri dan arrived at Fort TamhiU to relieve Hazen, be was a day less than a month over 25, and Hazen did not reach 26 until two days less than fire months thereafter? The paths of Generals Sheridan and Hasen crossed again in 1870, when they met at several points in Europe, while Sheridan repre sented President Grant in witness ing events during the war between Germany and France, and Hazen was an official observer. Sheridan witnessed the battle of Sedan, Sept. 1, 1879. and was present, three days later, at the surrender, and the fall of Napo leon the Third.- Medal For Part Taken IuWashington Program Is Received by Schools Superintendent Silas Gaiser yes terday received a bronze medal from Congressman Sol Bloom, di rector, in recognition of the Sa lem public schools' participation in 1932 In the George Washing ton bi-cenetnnial observance."
