It has been reported of Mr. Keally that he has said that the new s.fctehouse Is "his baby" and that he Intends to build it and dec orate It according to his own artistic ideas. Before it Is too late there should be a very frank showdown with the eminent Mr. Keally. Mr. Keally's relation to the state of Oregon is no different from that of any other architect to the builder. Ad mittedly the builder can often be very troublesome. Admitedly the builder shofild not Interfere with the architect's Judgment once there has been gen eral agreement as to the general style and outlines of the structure. ' But certainly the client has a right to demand that bis purposes shall be served, and In this con nection, the criticisms offered recently by Senator Allan Bynon have been practical. The interior ar rangements in the original Keally design was far from good and needs much adjustment to prevent waste of space and waste of money. And even more important is the owner's demand that he shall have the final say as to decorations. It Is perfectly natural that the architect of the statehouse should regard the building as his pro fessional monument. . It is also a monument of the people of Oregon. And theirs Is the more Important interest in this connection. It is the people of Ore gon who will be living with this building, not Mr. Keally. And with all due respect for his artistic taste and Judgment, may be observed that no architect Is In the broad sense of the word the complete ar tist and It Is not for Mr. Keally to say whether we are to have wood murals, painted murals, sculpture or whatnots at any given point for the capltol dec orations. That, as we have Insisted repeatedly should bo for an Oregon art commission to determine and we have plenty of competent artists and critics of art in Oregon to serve on such an Important commis sion. It Is for Mr. Keally to design the building, leaving space for such future decorations and or naments as the art commission may think best There Is no reason why there should not be friendly understandings between the architect and such an' art commission as to what' type of decorations shall be used. But It Is most distinctly not for Mr. Keally to say that we (hall be barred from using our native Oregon wood In his precious structure or that we hall be compelled to use them only where he sees fit to put them. Nor need we bow meekly to his dictum that eastern hardwoods are better, or that we must use Imported stone because it Is a medium with which he Is more familiar. Nor Is it for the well known PWA to step In as dictator. After all, Oregon la putting up 55 per cent of the money and can put It all up and save if need be. This capltol Is being built for Oregon by Oregon. We are NOT without feeling for art In this state. On the contrary we are quite confident of taste and discretion, and we are not to be excluded. This Is the last capltol we shall build for many genera tions to come; as Mr. Keally himself has said It Is being built for centuries. We're going to live with It. It Is time for a little blunt talk between Mr. Keally and his builders, the people of Oregon. HERR SCHMELINO COMES BACK. "Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit befere a fall." I P the mighty Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber, re A members .anything from the preachments of his Alabama enmp meetings he probably thought of that line ot Scripture as he reclined on the floor of Ve ring the other night after his meeting with that stout hearted Gorman, Hcrr Maxie Rchmellng. Unquestionably, It was a swelled head which lad to the black man's downfall, a form of swelling much more grievous than that applied so skillfully by Herr Maxla. The negro is Just another victim of too much publicity and silly adulation. Tons have been written about Joe Louis as the unbeatable fighting machine. No man Is more than a man and no man is unbeatable. There Is much argument In the sports columns as to whether Joe Louis was in condition. He may or may not hare been In Hie pink, physically. Ho certainly was not prepared In spirit to meet a man who was not afraid of him. The colored boy manfully demon started that he could take a beating, but taking a beating is quite different from fighting hack In telllgenlly. Tliero Is much to be learned from sports, and no sport Is more fruitful In example than that very rough gams known as boxing, nor has boxing ever furnished a more magnificent moral than Schmel lug's victory over the supposedly invincible negro. Perhaps statesmen should consider the sports pages: It may be that Schmellng reflects the de termination of a chastened and re-Inspired Germany. Pnsslbly some of our own politicians could read this fistic performance as an omen. Even Mr. Roosevelt, the gay and Insouciant, might ponder the lesson: "No man Is IrSWlblc." University of Oregon he la especially qualified for dnty as a member of the civil service igmmission. If we take the posltit thatwe cannot or must not use his services merely because he la not a voting resident of Eugene we are merely cheating ourselves. What Is wJtye, we are setting up a precedent v&ch may prevent public service by other citizens especially qualified for other positions for there are many able people who do not live within the corporate limits of the city. The situation Is different from that where the o'(Jlce Is elective or of a very general nature where special qualifications are not so Important. Where' Ul office la elective, it is quite proper to say that candidates must come from within the same boundariej as those which determine the eligibility of voters, though even here time may bring more liberal dispensations. In appointments to special boards or commission, it Is not good sense to say that an Imaginary lin on the groaed stall stand between us and the scMt takaat atvoltaate. Every largo mi graqrfwe etty tftaacr ar War haa confronts tkiB pvttkvt ef "awn-reriefetwt izens." Ia meet aragceaslve cKtes, it laa beea agreed that "residence" is t Merely a matter of where a maa sleeps and dees his voting but where, he plies his iHslaess or profession. The question is not whether the man Is technically a resident of the community but whether he Is actually by reason of his Interests and activities. Portland, San Fran cisco, Chicago, St. Louis and scores of cities where the "suburban problem" has become acute have had to liberalize many of their eligibility rulings. Till Amtrican communities develop some plan of regional administration, there will always be these problems. Annexation and the systematic extension of boundaries on the Los Angeles plan Is never the final solution. Somebody Is over the line wherever it Is. People on College Crest and In West Springfield and out on River Road and up on the Braes are Just as much Eugeneans as those who live on Willamette street. The test should be whether they are members of our community. We want for all important Jobs the best talent available. COUNTIES RAISE AN ISSUE. A LARMED and disgusted were addicts of conserva Hon and beautlfication when .the first press dispatches came through from the Roseburg meet ing of the county officials of Oregon's IS land grant counties stating: "A resolution was adopted opposing a bill now before congress permitting exchange of national forest timber for privately owned timber land with six miles of forest boundaries together with author; Ity for purchase of private timber within the same limits." They were shocked to think that members of county courts, those who by virtue of their official positions should be familiar with the pressing needs In , this state for careful conservation' of valuable timber resources, should show such a disdainful attitude in an official recommendation. Particularly they snw the imminent danger of the destruction of scenic timber along the McKenzie and SluBlaw highways increased by a move which appeared to he diametrically opposed to the ends desired. It was not until much later thai their fears were set to rest and they dlscovrH mat the county of ficials had not "let them down" after all, but had merely imposed a .condition demanded by good business. What the counties demand Is that the federal government make some provision for paying to the counties the taxes which should be forthcoming If the land remained In private ownership and was not acquired by the government. It is a sensible stipulation and one which goes straight to the heart of the whole conservation problem. , Not only is the matter of taxation the bugbear of this particular situation but, more than that, It is hte most difficult single obstacle to surmount In effecting one of the greatest of all conservation at temptssustained yield for all forest lands. The sustained yield policy is basically sound. It calls, among 'other things, for selective logging in stead of wholesale butchering of timber and for cutting according to annual growth. It would put" forests on the plane of a crop which it in reality Is. Paramount in such a policy must be the taxation problem. Owners cannot be expected to pay taxes on the same basis as at present. Operators now have to cut timber clean In order to get a return on their investment. Likewise the lax return to the counties must be worked out In some equitable manner. Inadvertantly or not, the officials at Roseburg touched upon an important point and shoved It nearer to Congress which must face squarely the tnsk of redesigning a good part of the nation's tax structure if .desirable conservation is ever to come to the aid of rapidly vanishing resources. THE COVERED BANDWAGON SAFETY PROGRAM fFHE Society of Automotive Engineers, having had A a great deal to do with the kind of motor cars we drive today, now comes forward with an inter esting six-point program designed to make It safe to operate these vehicles.

(To the Editor) A fw recent experience in our home life prompts this letter with a desire to give a little help to others who may rend. It seems an epidemic ef exceedingly eore throat is preva lent junt now and recently exper ienced jt myself. I wish to extoll the merits of strong salt water as a gargle and when I ay "strong" I mean just that. Down through the years when such occasion presented itself I had. like many other people have done, ueed calt water along with other gargles but would never in se vere attacks be able to conquer the trouble so I loe-t faith in salt water. My trouble was in lack of knowledge and perhaps being a bit of a "siss?" about using real salt water strong enough to do the work until recently. I beenmc ill and there was no joking about it with a sore throat. My daughter became very ineistant that I try really strong salt water, the pro portions of about 1 heaping teaspoon salt and Va teaspoon baking soda in two-thirds ordinary cup of hot water. tried it and it tasted like strong brine but say! The first gargle brought instant relief. I gargled every hour until midnight irith relief each time, then continued it next day and really conquered what had been one of the sorest throat attack I had experi enced In years and did so in twenty four hours time. I believe It will do the some for others if they will make their gurgle strong enough with salt and then use it faithfully. The next but not the least in im portance its another home remedy this time for burns. Simply apply the white of egg generously to the burned part and a wonderful soothing relief from intense pain is immediately ex perienced. Repeat the -applications until complete relief is obtained which will be fcoon. Egg ia mucilageous and entirely excludes the air which is good. At timfs when I have read or heard of someone being severely burned I have wished I could get near them with all the eggs I needed at my command and bad the privilege of ministering to them. Just as mj mother did one summer when vaca tioning in the mountains in southern Oregon, for a little tot that had fallen in the fire. No doctor waa near and something hod to be done immediately. Fortunotely there was a goodly sup ply of effss in store and mother re membered having seen me stop in stantly the crying of my little fellows at home with egK when they had been burned. So ?he applied eug repeatedly to the body of that poor little suf fering baby, gently binding it on with strips of the best materials at hand. And had the great pleaaure of ereing the relief it. waa giving to tho little sufferer. When the doctor did get there he said It was the best thing she c on 11 possibly have done. Also accident repeater and the habitual offender: uni form and compulsory periodic inspection of ve hides; uniform national traffic signs and signals; uniform standards for headlighting, reflectors, iden miration, etc.: and finally adequate highway light ing. At a time when the movement for the safe use of motor vehicles is sweeping tho country, this six-point program ought to prove important aa a working basis for whatever reforms are brought about in dKWnR. land in case of shortage of eggs, the and kept it saturated for five minutes and then gently bound the wet cotton on. This treatment gave, him the quickest relief of anything I know of. Try this. MAUD A. BALL, 452 W. 10th Ave. SUNDAY LESSON Jesus was crucified, dead and buried As was prophesied years before. He arose from the tomb resurrected, And alive for evermore. He arose with a glorified body That could resist material things. He talked and ate as usual As the message uf peace He brings. The disciples going to Emmaus And the dieciples locked in a room Were terrified when they saw Jesus They thought Him asleep in tlu tomb. "Behold My hands and My feet" Jesus was alive, not dead. "For a spirit bath not flesh and bones As ye see Me have!" He said. "And when He had thus epoken He showed His hnnds and His feet. While they yet believed not for joy He said, have ye here any meat? They gave Him a pieee of broiled fish And of-an honey comb. Ho took it and did eat before them" As He had often done in their home. Scripture in Moses, Prophets or Psalms "Which were written concerning Me Must, be fulfilled." He told them. And He opened their eyes to, see. Thus it behooved Christ to suffer And to rise from the dead the third day: Thnt repentance unrl remission of sins Be preached. There is no other way. "And ye are witnesses of these things." On His disciples He must rely. "But tarry in the city of Jerusalem, Until endued with power from on high." "And while He blessed them He waa parted from them," as fore told. He went to heaven, they to Jerusalem. And tarried as they were told. They tarried in Jerusalem and prayed Until they received the power To preach as the Spirit lead Every day and every hour. The gospel spread from Jerusalem In all directiona over the world. In every civilized nation Christ's banner is unfurled. ELLA HAYDEX. "TOYS CHARACTER" tTTTGENE, Ore. (To the Editor") The crusade against children play insr with toy sun, inaugurated in Chi, cngo by the Parent-Teacher Congress, should have consideration by every loyal citizen.

A recent cut on myjin gf r became angry anil inflamed I .lust hound it with witch hazel and and the full fledged gnneter with the machine gun :and finally the con demned man walking to the gallows. Now small boys are thrilled with toy machine guns tending out eparka with rapid shots. And some of these youngsters have been caught watch ing passengers alight from busses, following and intending to "hold up-' prospective victints. Judge Br'aude, of the Chicago Boys' court, having much experience in confiscating knives, Mzors, etc., from youthful despera does, declares the toy gun instills into children a spirit that leads to delia- quency and crime tendencies. In re' cnonse to an appeal by him for mer chants cooperation in suppressing the display and snle of this menace, a company official ordered the 200 Woolworth stores in Chicago to stop selling toy guns. Other merchants shelved them; saying, "If they are not displayed the sale le greatly dimin ished." People buy, especially toys, what they see. "The race goes forward on the feet of little children; if the children stag ger the race is doomed." So let us strive every way to direct them aright. Three other things have added to delinquency and crime.. First, the automobile tends to create an atti tude of personal independence and die regard for other'a rightc, and pro vides easy escape from results. Sec ond, Movies have familiarized chu dren with every phase of crime. The gangster's life is portrayed in every detail. The hnbits of the underworld lawlessness is fully pictured. The harmful educational results cannot be exaggerated. Third: The defiance of alcohol laws. The alliance of co-called respectable people with the under world is a Berious aspect. Bootleg gers, racketeers and moral vice could not flourish, were tbey not patronized by "respectable people. Indifference to law is a terious disease in American life; and there inuet be an awakening of our citizens to a new sense of obligation for loyal citizenship, law abiding character and a larger measure of economic justice, if our nation is to be preserved. LAURA TRACHSL, of this belief I wish to coll ycur at tention to the Independent dairyman, the majority of them are able to buy new delivery cara every year or ao, equip them with radioa, etc., keep up nice looking pjeaaure cart, which is exactly as it should be, every one should be entitled to at least tint mucn. But how about the producer who hat to deliver his milk to the creamer ies? Evidently je ia not so pros peroua. One producer who haa baa lti better Ibuu avcrugo cows this gross return on the wkcle herd last month was less than $140.00. If yuu subtract his cost for feed, transpor tation and other necessary expenses he) will only have about $40.00 left to buy food, clothing, pay the doctor, the dentist, keep up his insurance. He is on about the hams basis as the $44.00 a month WPA mau. How about the consumer? The man with three or more children? He is tha large consumer or should be. Even at the present price of milk, he, in a great many Instances, cannot afford to buy the amount bf milk neceasary to maintain his children's health. I personally know of one family of six children, all under ten years old, who only get one quart of milk a d:iy while the milk pool and creameries dump (Quoting one producer, thous ands of quarts a day down the sewer). There ia only one remedy that I can see as the creameries will not be satisfied with a reasonable profit, the remedy that I would suggest is a pro. ducer and -consumer coopcrotive in which tho producer and consumer jointly, either buy one of the cream eries already operating or build and equip a modern plant of their own, ruu it on the RocLdalo principle, di viding the profit equally between the producer and the consumer, it h.ia been done elsewhere, why not in I.anc county? Tho producer would get .more for hia milk and yet the price to the consumer would be considerably less. In the meantimo I would suggest if tho price raises as expected thnt overy one use as little bottled milk as possible conslstant with good health. Use canned milk which is much cheaper rven ut ihi present price. Anyone intercEtiil in the coopera tive iden please get in touch with me at 121 North Washington street, Eugene, fire, HARRY H.
