Finds beauty 1 wto'l-e, by Edgur A. finest.) methods. Here is some of the Oregonian's reasoning on tne subject: ' , , Now that tho taxpayer Is finding It hard to pay he Is beginning to look for vuys of relief. There will be precious little relief so long ns the public places lis u C fairs In the hands of nn officialdom that Is "responsive to the public." when Its method of responsiveness Is to please this or that particular group or Interest, demanding something for itself, so that in the end everybody gets what he wants. Tho accumulated result Is staggering. But let's see how that has worked out in real life. The most conspicuous recent tax effort in Oregon was the $3,000,000 pro posal for the Portland fair. The scheme was rejected by legis lators who were "responsive 'to the wishes of theirhome folk. The legislature refused to cater to the desires of that "particu lar group or interest" asking for the three million jdollar state tax. Now how would affairs have turned had our legislators been selected under the boss ruled-convention system formerly in vogue? You know. You know that the cards would have been all arranged in advance .and that the Julius Meier crowd would have put over their. taxation plan without much trouble. Where, then, is there merit in the contention that the direct primary increases taxes? Does the Oregonian mean that an office holder who must look the irate taxpayer right in the eye, as he does under the direct primary, will be less open to con viction than the boss-named office holder. "It ain't natural" to believe such things!! I A ROTTEN DEAL BEHOLD the case of the Pendleton postoff ice ! Perry Idleman, overseas veteran and former com mander of the American Legion post tit Pendleton, stood first in the civil service examination for appointment to the postmastership. He was turned down. Lester B. Cronin, present postmaster, a republican appointed by Wilson, has a high record for efficiency and courtesy after sixteen years' service in the office, all but a year of it as assist ant, lie stood second in the examination. Ho was turned down. Thomas Thompson, local republican warhorse, wealthy citi zen with little experience to fit him for a postmastership, stood third in the examination. He was named for the job. Why Have civil service examinations at all? Since they are n farce, since politics not qualifications, is to be the test, why make a pretense of holding examinations? . Why wasn't the soldier who fought for his country overseas and who stood first on the list good enough for the place? Why wasn't the republican postmaster whose work was em inently satisfactory to patrons of the office and whoso efficiency has been demonstrated, good enough to remain on tho job? Ho rose from the ranks. Why not reward postof fice employes who prove their efficiency by finally giving them appointment to the postmastership? We rave and tear our hair about radicals and theorists nnd agitators. What and who does more harm to the moral ido-il and civic standards of the people than politics and political hacks?

"The statewide mi ivmcnt on the part of women's clnlis, we believe, will awaken the legislature to the urgency of the need, inrt tlie neces sary npprnprlat'on will be the result." FROM THE PEOPLE DETltOIT, Mich., Feb. R. Fighting for places on the Detroit Tigers' pitch, lag Btaff this season will be two men who unconsciously wero among tlu ciiiises of the collofilato athletic scan dal which already bus resulted In dis qualification of moio than a score of university stars. These two men are ; Vernon "Slicker" l'arks. the Western Conference's best pitcher when tho University of Jllchigan nine, and Johnny Moliiirdt, Noire Panic's All Amorlc.in halfback mid baseball star. Exposure of the football scandal over the Taylorvllle, Iillnols-C'arlln-vlllo, Illinois, football game In which Illinois and Notre Dame p'uvers tvnv pitted against each other In the efforts of sannll towns to put over u big town bettJng roup, really dales back to the disqualification of "Slicker" Parks a your ngo, according to several conl'cr enen conches. For years there has been n gentle man's agreement among the baseball couched, it Is said, that they would not protest players who took part in sum mer semi-pro games In violation of tho conference rules. Most of the coaches favored summer ball and con sequently wero willing to close their eyes to violations of tho rulo against It, eo tho story goes. Parks, however, was not (satisfied with playing on small semi-pro teams, Instead, ho pitched for ft team of tho Pacific Coust lcuguo, a class AA or pi'tilzalton, nd even 'had a tryout with tho Detroit Tigers. A certain coach decided thin was carrying tho matter too far, protested, and Turks was disqualified. This was At the time tho 'biggest tillllelie scaml.'il In munv eirx. It caused a feeling among some coaches, II is said, that while m'nor violation of the rule wero all r:gtir, It should not lie broken too brazenly. They be gan to look around for oilier brazen violations of the rules. Then t'arlinvllle decided to clean up TaNlorvlllc by Importing college play ers nnd betting heavily on them against the Taylorville home town team. Johnny Mnhurdt was the first man sought, cnrllnvlllo could not gel Mohardt, but they did get u number of oilier Notre lame stars. The story of how Taylorville learn ed of tlie plan and defeated Curllnvillc at Its own Kami, by importing Illinois players is history, , but H was because Curllnvillc wanted Mohardl that the affair was started and so Mohardt. even though innocent of any Implica tion In tlie matter, was directly mixed up in tlie causes of the game which .brought nil tho scandal. Mohardt later admitted playing In oilier games, although denying that he received money, and then ho signed with netroit. .Nov tho two stars whoso names a short time ago were headlines In the palters, are obsenrr rookles lighting for a bertu on a big league baseball team. iiati: adv.ynci; di;i r.Mn:i Salem, Oregon, Ifeb. ;S, 1932.

I An Appeal' from this Commission': order to the Courts is provided for by law In the event anyone thinks entire Justice bus not been done. It stioulu be borne in mino that capital Invested ill a regulated public utility differs vastly from that Invested In private eniei ii ie. i ne ih uier is iiiiiueo us to Its e, i mines to the busis of a fair return upon the fair value of its prop erty, while there is no restriction as to the amount of earnings of the bitter. Kurthcr, private enterprises nuiy niiikc n. higher rate of return during one year than n public utility would be permitted to earn In many years. If a tiltility is to lie held down to a fair and reasonable return, does It not stand to reason that its earnings should be held up to that standard when neither in loy nor equity can this Commission permit a utility t't reunite, its patrons one year lo pay sufficient rates to make up deficits ocean-ring during another year? The statement thai a decline lit rates might reasonably be expected with the general' fall of prices Is cor rect, provided rates had previously ad vanced with with advancing' costs. This ntHtp went through the war per iod without any Increase in rates, and, as the record shows, at a great loss lo the company, wages having advanc ed $(inii,0(in per annum. Further, this Commission's order was contingent upon the expedituro of five m'llions of dollars of new capital in th's state. Approximately one-half m'llions has already been expended In new plant to take care of the growing needs ef many communities. This new money 's not received from tho increased rates .as Is commonly supposed, for I hit I would be manifestly unfair to the public, but is entirely new capital wh'eh colics from without the Hint".

To win a race a Jockey doesn't put extra weight on lie horse that helfts him succeed No man or woman who wants to succeed in the race of life can afford the handicap of headaches, insomnia, indiges tion and debility. Nor can they afford to take anything that inay keep up a continual irrita tion of the nervous system. . Vet this is what many peo ple do who drink- excessive amounts of tea or coffee. For tea and coffee contain caffeine, a substance that is sometuiies very injurious. Many doctors say that caffeine raises the blood pressure, irritates the kidneys, and over-stimulates the entire nervous system. Also that it is especially bad for growing children, or for any one who has any tendency to ner vousness or insomnia. If you want to avoid a pos sible cause of headache, insom nia, or nervousness, it might be well to stop taking tea and coF? for awhile, and drink rich, sat isfying Postum, instead.
