A NEWSPAPER IS A CITIZEN OF IT3
COMMUNITY
MR. HEARST, ECONOMIST
ONE of the most Interesting developmenta of tbe
last few day has been tbe radio attack on
President Hoover by the widely known publisher,
Mr. William Randolph Hearst. Mr. Hearst, always
fickle In hla political fancies and affiliations, will
not be "with" President Hoover when 1932 rolls
around. That would seem to be almost certain In
view of Mr. Hearst's speech. And since Mr. Hearst
controls a lot of big newspapers and magazines,
bis attitude Is now, as always, a matter of some
national significance, although we might add that
candidates have often suffered rather than benefited
by his support.
Be that as It may, our chief Interest In Mr.
Hearst's carefully written radio remarks, Is In his
pose as a practical economist. For Mr. Hearst's
attack on President Hoover Is only Incidental to
proposing a grand scheme for curing depression
In the United States. President Hoover, says Mr.
Hearst, has gone back on his promises to the
people. Under the sinister guidance of one Mellon,
a predatory rich man (even richer than Mr. Hearst)
the president hae reneged on his original Idea of
launching huge programs of public Improvements
to tide over Industrial letdowns in the good old
V. S. Mr. Hearst advocates the Immediate floating
. of a bond Issue of $5,000,000,000 to build things
here and there, roadB, waterways, postofflces, any
old thing, to provide employment, keep wages up
and "atablllie prosperity In the V, 8."
This paper has often criticized President Hoov
er's too great readiness to subscribe to economic
quackeries. The best thing we know about Mr.
Hoover Is that he doesn't seem to he afraid to
- drop them when they don't turn out right. Mr.
Hoover DID urge huge programs of public spending;
Then he discovered that borrowing huge sums of
money Immediately has Its effect on tax rates. The
darn things go up. Lately, Mr. Hoover has been
preaching restraint and economy. It takes courage
to drop schemes that would build popularity over
Bight. There Is a very definite limit beyond which
public works cannot be used to relieve unemploy
ment. Suppose we Issued Mr. Hearst's five billion.
Wouldn't the burden of that five billion make It
Juat a bit harder for Industry to take Its men back
Into normal employment? Is the shifting of thous
ands of men out of jobs for which they are trained
likely to produce very efficient or economical con
struction workt Would the five billion dollars
worth of Improvements be a publlo asset or an
added liability unless thoy were actually needed?
Suppose, by the time the five billion Is spent, busi
ness for some reason hasn't picked up? Then what
do we do for unemployment?
Whenever the distinguished William Randolph
has aspired to be president, millions have risen to
-about: "God save us!" God aave us also from
William Randolph, the economist. It Is a big point
for President Hoover that he doesn't suit William
Randolph Hearst,
1921-1923, when the chain stores made their great,
est growth; and he found that Independent gro
cery stores went out of business at almost exactly
the same rate In each period.
A small-town independent grocer, quoted by
the Bulletin, remarks:
"If the merchants who have established them
selves In town (before the arrival of the chain
stores) cannot make a go of It they should fall;
for they have been In town long enough to have
built up enough prestige and good will to with
stand the competition they may receive."
Some girls go out for track events; other run
up charge accounts.

Men Who get halt time jobs believe that a half
loaf la better than a loaf entirely.
WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK
THE WOODSHED PASSES
. TT IS rather odd, when you stop to think about
It, that no one has paid much attention so far
to the passing of one of the greatest and most
distinctive of all American Institutions the woodshed.
A very few years ago the woodshed was a
prime feature of all American homesexcept, of
course, those of the wealthy, who don't count any
how. But today It la well on the road to extinction.
The farmer, to be sure, atlll has his; hut will
ha keep It long, what with the spreading of gas
mains, electric power lines and synthetic gas tanks
to the rural regions? The woodshed, obviously,
la doomed.
This, In a way. Is too bad; for the woodshed
had Its points. It waa not only a good place to
keep and split wood. It was an Indispensable, all
around handy room; a place where odds and ends
of thlnga could be stored, a place where the head
of the house, If handy with tools, could make such
gadgets as window screens and trellises for the
rose bushes, a place where Junior could park his
bicycle and stster could keep her doll buggy. In
other words, It was an exceedingly useful adjunct
to the house.
The householder of todny, who has no wood
shed, feels the lack without knowing exactly what
It la that he misses, He puts his lawn mower
and his garden tools In the garage and, every
now and then, crushes them by driving carelessly
In with his automobile. He does what carpentry
work he has to do In his basement and loses
both his patience and his enthuslRsm, to say noth
ing of bis hreath, running up and down the stairs.
Of course, he does not have to split wood,
which Is something; yet there are far worse Jobs.
Indeed, on a rainy afternoon, when the drops pat
ter steadily on the roof of the woodshed, and the
place Is filled with that Indescribable, pleasant odor
of wood chips, earth and fresh air, and an open
door emphasizes your feeling of snugness by
enabling you lo glance up from your dry retreat
and see everything dripping outside well, at such
times splitting wood Is almost fun.
But you don't really need wood to have a
woodshed. Some day some astute real estate man
Is going to discover tha usefulness of the wood
abed and be will make a big success by tacking
one of these little extra rooms on every house
be builds.
CHAINS AND INDEPENDENTS
A LTHOUOH a great deal Is heard these days
about the competition which chain stores are
arlvlng Independent merchants, a recent Retail
Trade Bulletin from the Alexander Hamilton In
tltute Indicates that the really efficient Indepen
dent storekeeper has little to fear from tbe chains.

WE ABUSE OUR PRIVILEGES
(The Dalles Chronicle)
A BUSE of the initiative and referendum powers
" granted the people under the Oregon law is be
coming more flagrant yearly, with selfish Interests
ulitizlng these intended safeguards as weapons for
their own purposes.
Offensives against tbe sales tax on oleomargarine
In Oregon, the Rogue river closing bill passed by the
last legislature, and the $1,181,878 appropriation for
state institutions of higher learning, all are outside
of the purpose originally intended for the referendum.
Also, the threatened initiative movement to consolidate
the University of Oregon and Oregon State college
on one campus, without giving the board of higher
education a chance to work out Its own solution
of the problem, would fall In the same category.
The Initiative, referendum and recall were designed
tt) serve as courts -of last resort, through which the
public, unnble to Impose Its will through customary
channels, might override tyrannical or corrupt off ieiol
dom. Instead, they have become a lucrative industry
for paid petition circulators, who can always obtnin
sufficient names to achieve their purpose If someone
will provide the finances. It Is significant that one
referendum attempt that was not adequately financed,
the attack on the state police bill, failed to obtain
sufficient signatures to gmn a place on the ballot.
The oleomargarine referendum is backed by the
manufacturers of this product. Unwilling to give
Oregon dairymen a chance to obtain a fair price for
their product, oleo manufacture are appealing to
the people to remove the tax Imposed on their product
via paid petition circulators. There is no public
demand for a vote on this bill, and it will be speedily
defeated In the 1IW2 election, in this newspaper's
opinion. In the meantime., however, the tax will he
held up, and oleomargarine may ho sold on the old
basis for another year 'In competition with butter.
The Rogue river closing referendum Is sponsored
by cannery Interests at the moulh of the river.
Long a bone of contention In Oregon, the Rogue
finally was closed to commercial fishing bv the last
session of the legislature. Irrespective of whether
or not, this closure was merited, the general public
apparently was content to let the mnlter rest lliere.
I aid petition circulators have reopened the Issue.
grange 's attack on the legislative appropria
, '"''Oregon's schools of higher education is some
what different, In that paid circulators were not used.
At least, we presume this to be the ritsc, for the
grange does not ordinarily spend money needlessly.
However, we cannot aee where they is any necessity
or call for the grange's action In view of Governor
.Meiers previous slash in the appropriation and the
conscientious efforts of tbe board of higher education
to bring about max mum .mnnm, tn .nhAr.l

: normal schools of tho entire amount of their nppro

far more harm than good. It would have been far
better to have permitted the board to pursue its

out a solution equitable to all. As It Is Oregon's

Hi have no menns of knowing whether or not the
threatened Initiative measure to consolidate the Uni
veralty of Oregon and Oregon State on one campus,
supposedly at f'orvallls,. Is Inspired by ltoseburg resi
dents, disgruntled over Eugene's fight for the V. S.
soldiers home. This chargo is being made at Eugene,
and would appear to have some substantiation.
Irrespective of tho motive, however, the Idea Is a
bad one. In the first place, there Is a distinct need
tor two major institutions of higher learning In
iiregon. with separately maintained plants, even
though one administrative body mny be found feasible.
It would be foolish to consider abandonment of either
tho linlverslty of Oregon or Oregon State college,
especially when It Is considered that both of these
schools already are overcrowded.
Of equal Importance, however, Is the fact that
a vengeful Initiative niensuro Is not the way to
decide such an Issue, even conceding the fact that
the people would vote It down. The board of higher
education should be the one lo pass on this question,
and It undoubtedly will, to the best Interests of all
concerned, if only given sufficient time.
B , here have been times when use of the Initiative
and referendum In Oregon was Justified, and undoubtedly
such Instances will arise again in the future. The
present efforts are wbollv iir.tM;,- u ,

WASHINGTON LETTER
fly RODXEt mncnnri.
NEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON, June 13. Little sentiment h.s de-
veloped in the ranks of government for proposals
ii' ,fi"-''"T w"k In the federal service, hut after
Itil.T 1 nearly all government emploves will be en
titled to a Saturday half-holiday the year around.
Most of them have been' working only four hours
on Saturday since early March, but there remain the
postal employes whose 44-hour week as voted bv cou
gress goes Into effect after this month and an undeter
mined number of government workers over tlfe coun
try who complain that they are not being granted
their half holidays because of the economy drive.
Long Week-end, But
The new laws provide a longer and more enjovsble
week-end. hut It Is doubtful whether thev will relieve
much unemployment. The 44-hour week for postal em
ployee was provided in a law which authorized the
extra expense Incurred through the fact that the
system operates '.'4 hours a day, but President Hoover
"ad O rector of the Itudget lioop have dech'vi that
the half-holiday for other employes must be h.,-nnged
without Incurring any expenses chargeable In deficien
cies. In both rases, however, where emploves are
required by public Interest as Interpreted bv their
superiors to work on Saturday afternoons tliev are
entitled to compensatory time off on other ds'vs of
the week.
Complete enforcement of the four-hour Saturday
law already would have provided a certain amount of
new employment, but according to many complaints
received by the Nstiona! Federstlon of Federal Em
ployes It Is exactly in the instances where they
would require extra help that the half-holidavs are
being denied. In Washington the law is beiiig oh
Ji"i!i '"" n"" "'vernnient employes serve in the
field and that is where the complaints come from
Allnmigh Senator IjiFollette and the postal em

argument that It woul.1 help absorb some of the unem
ployed, that prospect probably will not he realired
to anything like the extent once expected Orders
have gone through the service that the four-hour
?aturda.v must be nhsorherf th-.Mph hi. ....
other days aud without sny addition to the payroll
wherever possible. The department also has had a
policy of failing to fill Its constantly occurring racsn.
cies whenever It ran be avoided and of cutting dor-n
employment of Its subntitute workers. Tostal employes,'
unions estimate that about 10,000 substitutes have been
attecten and that at one lime about fO0O vacancies re
mained unfilled. Any extra employment made abso
lutely necessary by the 44-hour lw .....! j-
little more than fill vacancies and employ the aubsti

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE '
MIDDLE-AGED MEN PROVE EASIEST
DROWNING VICTIMS
By DK. MOUW8 FISHBIKN
(Krlitor, Journal of the American
Medical Association, and ot Uy
gcia, the Ieallli Magazine;
iVIOST dcathd from drowning oc
AVJ' our from May to Aiigunt, wli.n
swimming is popular. Thr mnjority of
cases of drowning occur in men.
Twenty-five per cent of those which
occurred in California, in a recent
Mudy of the subject by the California
State department of health, effect
ed, people between the ages of 31
and 54. Relatively few deatha from
drowning occur in people between
the ages of 20 and 34, presumably be
cause these people are t an ane
when they swim fairly well aud have
enough vigor to withstand the rigors
of exposure.
Approach of tlx vacation season
makes it import nnt to emphasize
again the desirability of having every
one associated with swimming or with
work around water understand the
elements of resuscitation.
. Procedure Is Simple
Tho procedure is relatively simple.
The unconscious person should be
placed face down, with the head
slightly lower than the feet. Fingers
should bo put In the mouth to free it
of any mud or other material that
may be in it. One arm aud hand of
the individual may be put under the
head so as to keep his mouth and j
nose out of sand. The person to per-
form artificial respiration can kneel j
over the body, putting one hand on i
each side of the unconscious person,
just below the lower ribs. The move
meuts may be made in time according
to count. At one, the bands are placed
on the lower ribs, thumbs aud fingers
togei her, wrists about six inches
npart: at two, the operator rises on
the knees and with the arms straight
throws the weight downward and a
iitlie forward, and at the SHine time
slightly squeezing the bands toward
each other; at three, the hands are
suddenly removed, which permits an
expansion of the chest; at a count of
four and five, the operator rests and
promptly begins again.
Keep Victim Warm
The entire procedure takes about
five seconds, which will permit of ap
proximately lil artificial respirations
a minute. The movement may be kepi
up for hours. At the same time, it is
well to keep the drowning person
wnrm, If a blanket is available, and
to encourage circulation by rubbing
tho legs, A physician should be se
cured ii9 soon as possible. Just as
soon as the signs of consciousness re
turn, warmth and stimulation arc de
sirable. There Is no necessity for rolling
the drowning person over a barrel,
hanging him up by the feet, or any
other rough treatments that used to
be the vogue before modern artificial
respiration became established. The
two most common criticisms are that
the artificial respiration is carried
on for too brief a time (it is well to
continue even two hours, if there
the slightest possibility of resuscita
tion) and the application ot tne move
ments too rapidly.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BiSIOs
an infinite variety of ready-cooked
foods that are as wholesome and ap
petizing as those prepared in the home
kitchen. "When necessity arises there
is no reason why we should hesitate to
make use of all the help offered and
enjoy a vacation from cooking.
When you are making out your list
of supplies for the hot months, the
food habits of the 1'nmily must be
cnrefully considered. At the same time
plan a number of menus for various
occasions, using the fresh fruits and
vegetables so abundant during the
summer months and supplementing
them with easily prepared ready
cooked dishes. Never forget your ob
jectattractive meals, requiring the
minimum of time and effort.
No Waste In Cans
The wide range of canned meats
simplifies the meat question in many
instances. Naturally these products
are more expensive than the raw ma
terial, for you must pay for the labor
you are saving yourself. But there is
no waste in bone in most of the meats,
and if you choose the size that your
family will ent at one meal there is
no waste from spoilage. Anything you
want is available from the plebian
frankfurter and corned beef to squab
aud chicken.
Canned fish offers many possibili
ties in planning summer menus. Many
varieties are excellent served as they
come from the can. with lemon
wedges. In salads and entrees, they
are especially acceptable. ,
Sandwiches are the mainstay of
many summer meals and you will want
three 'or four varieties of fillings al
ways on hand.
Uses for Crackers
Crackers are a boon in hot weather.
Sweet or salted, there is a "biscuit"
for every course and they often nre
more acceptable than bread or cake.
They fill out a meal that might other
wise seem scanty, serving as a sand

EARLY EUGENE
(From Tho Gunrd of June, 1SS1)
pitOM a letter written by G. M.
1 Whitney.
Editor Uuard: The 27ith of last
month we stnrted from Eugene City
to see the mouth of the Siuslnw river,
and for once in our lif we "stuck
close to our test." On the ftlst of
May by thft kindness of Captain Cox
and Mr. I'Hlmer, both recommended as
competent navigators, we were taken
out to sea through the month of the
Siuslaw in a small boat. Our object
was to find the least water at the
lowest tide on the bar. Our crew con
sisted of the two gentlemen named
and four AVebfoot boys, l, B. Trimble-
and AVill Scott of Oreswell, and
Eddie Whitney and Frank York 01
Euirene. t'apt. Cox was plnced at the
helm, Mr. Palmer superintended the
oars, Mr. Trimble threw the lead, and
I. the only ornamental one on board,
held the line at the- water mark of
each sounding. TA'e did not find a
bar as I expected, but a straight chnn- i
nel out to sea as wide as the river j
above, and we found snnd for a short j
distance In the mouth of the rirer. I
From deep water inside to deep wnter I
outside is perhaps a distance- of 150
yards. While rowing across that space j
we had tinm but to cast the lend four !
or five times, and found 13 feet of 1
wnter. When outside In deep water
we met the incoming ride nnd came in
op it. at a gallop. In a few hours after
the tide rose by measurement 7 feet,
which would give 20 feet of water at
the mouth of the river, the channel
looked to be when the tide was out
about 1CvO rods wide, but. owing to
said spits north nnd south, when the
tide was in it would bo four or five
times that. wide.
