Oreaon 4b Independent Newspaper Published rery aranlng except Sunday Telephone (1; news 81 GEOROB PUTNAM. Editor tod Publisher Poison Alcohol Census Bureau figures show a steady increase in the death rate from alcoholism since 1920, the first year of national prohibition. In 1920 the alcoholic death rate was 1 pjr 100,000 population; in 1921, 1.8; in 1922, 2.6; in 1923, 3.2; hospital reports indicate a substantial increase for 1921 Wyoming held the record of the states in 1923 with - 8 .Icoholic deaths per 100,000 population. New York held her own with 4.3, Maryland had 5.7, Massachusetts 6.6, Pennsylvania 4.3, Washington 3.1. Among the states showing a death rate decline for 1923 under 1922 was Oregon, v ' :le California remained stationary. Increase in the death rale is due largely to poisonous lir -. The government sells for commercial purposes 60,000,000 gallons of alcohol a vear. About 1 000,000 gallons of this is drawn pure for the use of the United States in its various scientific activities, and the use of the states in sanitarums, hospitals, etc. About 6,000,000 gallons more is distributed pure for the manufacture of drugs, flavoring extracts, etc. The balance is denatured by the addition of poison of one kind or another for industrial purposes, of which the federal bureau estimates that about 6,000,000 is illegally used for beverage purposes, redistilled or manipu lated in very dangerous and low' grade liquors. It is the use of this poisonous liquor that has swelled the alcoholic death rate, the government pursuing the strange policy Of putting deadly poison like wood alcohol, strychnine, carbolic acid, etc., into the alcohol when it leaves the distil lery to prevent its use for beverage purposes, instead of fol lowing up with inspectors the use of the alcohol by the pur chasers, and defraying the cost of the inspection by tax on the alcohol. Alcohol is worth, without the tax 55 to 60 cents a gallon and its uses are increasing by leaps and bounds. It is an essential raw material for the manufacture of radio outfits, wireless equipment, electrical machinery, electrical parts of n 'omobiles, airplanes, motor boats, silent gears, moving picture and kodak films, bakclite and many other articles. Perhaps the strangest use made of alcohol is its utilization by the old war nitrate and powder plants to manufacture artificial silk, a new industry. Nitrocellulose, the basis of f okeless powder, is dissolved in a mixture of alcohol and ether, making a collodion, that is spun into fine fibre and v 1 as a basis for all the artificial silk products we have. Just think of our good prohibitionists, who sanction the poisoning of the unregenerate, wearing clothing made fvom alcohol ! TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE HORIZONTAL f. Arrived (ab.) S. A hive of bee .

In two weeks I warn back on the Job again. Month after month I used to ask myself why I did not have the courage to put on end to it all for you and me. Aa you grow older I managed to send you to school, although your father called It foolUhnes. In this Ovid was my great help. He would take you and 50 aTier you if I did not have the time, but oh, how my heart ached, my tlarlinff, when you n you came to understand, would come home jjKA tell me how the other girl made fun of your patched dresses mid your queer little homemade hate." 'AI-jier, mother door, why do you think of all that just at this lime? It Is all over now. You are rich enough to supply your wild est desires. Uncle Ovid told me that It seemed to him that your oil well j were streaming liquid gold. You have given me nil those wonderful things of which you dreamed and now I hive come homo to be with you. I'll never leave ycu again, dear. Don't think about that arful time." Liilemay pleaded at her mother's sobs grew more 1 insistent, "Life for you now will give its c noise st blessing un til the end." "I know it, I know It." her mother answered tearfully. "But as1 I told you, I nm never h.ippy but I have been happy many times lately that those awful davs of i poverty do not come and haunt ! me like spectres." I Suddenly alelissa Vail sit up and with her hands gripping her daughter's ahoulders, she .said brokenly: 'Don't you understand, child? 1 am weeping for what 1 have misued. I am sor.-owinff for my lost youth, my lost year a that should have b?n happy and were not, yevr that will never come again. "I: hurt me tlia that poor mis taken man that was your father. threw all his happiness Into the Eoddnni cup Mhoe drea are bit -t tmcs nnd woe.

You are very pretty and you've just told me that you like to dance and sing and laugh. I see no reison why Harold, as you call him, has not been paid well for his kindness." "Don't say that, Liilemay.

BRINGING UP FATHER By George McMnnus State Rights State rights seem in a fair way to again become a m;'or political issue In the United States. While neither party as a party, has emphasized it. President Coolidge has (tressed it in his budget message urging a reduction of the fc leral aid plan and criticising bureaucratic growth. Emphatic protest was voiced against the centralization of power in the federal government repeatedly during the rccrnt session of congress, and for the first time the great bureaucratic trend that gathered its real momentum a score of years ago, gives promise of being checked. Opixsition to bureaucracy has been frequently voiced in tl-.T senate during recent years by Corah, republican, Under wood, King and Stanley, democrats, and this year Bruce and iJ 'jurd have joined the protestants. In the House, republi cans like Madden, Dollinger and Andrew, and democrats such as Garrett have led the opimsition, but neither party as a party, has declared for or against it. That the people also are in revolt against federal inter ference in state affairs is indicated by the overwhelming defeat of the child labor amendment. There is every indica tion that the pendulum having swung to its limit for federalism, as about to swing back for a restoration of state rights.
