"With or without offense to friends or foti I sketch vmir world exactly as it aoes." nvrnn Autocratic and Illegal ' Governor Meier recently asked all state officials and employes to contribute one day's pay each month to the fund for the relief of the unemployed. A committee of depart ment heads was organized to carry out the plan. Instead of making the contributions voluntary, the committee proceed ed to make them compulsory and pledged their departments to "whole-hearted participation therein." In the circular issued by the governor's committee it is stated that "the members consider it incumbent upon every one so fortunate as to be in the security of state employment to give to the limit of his financial ability. While of ner cessity all contributions must be voluntary in character, no difficulty in making this movement one hundred per cent effecting is contemplated if all chiefs of departments exer cise the leadership with which they should be endowed by virtue of their positions." The ciei cive character by which the donations are "vol unteers!" is self evident in the scarcely veiled threat of in timidation which naturally destroys all cheerfulness of giving by denying the employes their inherent right of dis posing of their earnings as they see fit. Worthy as the cause may be and great as the emergen cy, the who!,! procedure is not only an unwarranted display of autocracy but is plainly in open violation of the spirit as well as the letter of the law, not only on the part of those requesting the donation, but on the part of the official doners themselves. The corrupt practices act reads as fol lows, Section "fi 2121 Oregon Code: Candidates and officers not to be solicited for subscrip tions or endorsement. A'o person shall demand, solicit, ask, or invite ami payment or contribution for any religion, political, charitable, or other cause or organization sup posed to be primaritii or principally for the public good, from a person who seeks to be or has been nominated or elected to any office; and no such candidate or elected per son shnll wale any such payment or contribution if it shall be demanded or asked during the time he is a candidate for nnmi)'"tinn or election to or an incumbent to any office. A Dry Reform Prohibition Director Amos W. W. Woodcock has sus pended Ilenrv Diorks, prohibition agent at Denver who has been charged with the slaying of a youth in a scuffle over a bottle of wine. He characterized the agent's conduct as "stupid and brutal". He continues: find that he has disregarded all our training and teaching for a year. The offense for which he was en dcaror'ug to arrest Smith was a pitiful, non-commercial one. If he had succeeded Smith would hare paid a small fine and that would hare been all. It teas just brute force and no brains. This is the first time a dry agent has even been cen sured for tvonton crimes, and many such have been charged to their account, such as the assassination of the secretary of the F.iks lodge in broad daylight in Buffalo the shoot ing of an eye out of a United States senator leaving the capitol, and the long list of murders of the innocent on suspi cion. Hitherto the lawless acts of the dry agents have always boon approved by the department chiefs and the federal department of justice defended them in the court i, removing them from jurisdiction of state courts. The pro hibition snooper therefore became a law unto himself and could get away with anything. The unpopularity of prohibition has been largely due to the methods of enforcement, its ruthless gunmen and its poison denaturants not from any lack of booze in any form or quantity. After eleven years dryness, liquor is more plentiful and cheaper in price than ever before. But it is a sod thing to have the glimmerings of sanity and com monsense displayed for the first time in the service and Czar Woodcock is to he conimemle.l. Benefits of Tariff "GOD SAVE THE KING." .ill l-JW.il 1 'i Antoinette's Beauty Talks Slight Complexion Illemishes Subject to These Remedies Liver spots, white spots, and moles ! are skin afflictions vfrxti, nile not so common, still munnse to make, certain women uncomfortable with! their presence. ' Liver spot are larger than freck les, but like freckles are light tan to brownish black. How they got the name is not known. They have no thing to do with the liver In good condition or out of it. We ere told on medical authority that they are due to some functional disturbance of, peculiarly female functioning. Local treatment is similar to freckle remedying. Bleaches and lo tions are to be had. Skin peeling will remove the outer cuticle and the spots along with It. Sometimes the following lotion will prove efficient: Salicylic acid. 60 grains, and two ounces of bay mm. You apply it with cotton several times a day, al low:ngBthc preparation to dry on. Stop applying the lotion. Immediate ly any irritation Is felt and use cold cream to relieve the irritation. White spots are said to be indica tive of some glandular disturbance. Frequently they are found where goitre is present. But only a physi cian should be rolled on for proper Kiiidiince. In the meantime the patches may be covered cleverly with a foundation cream and powder. All moles are not to be categoriz ed under the head of suspicious character- Some are harmless things. easily removed. But because there is always that one chance of their be ing dangerous, It is wise to interview a good skin authority before tatting any steps to remove them. The phy- ician may recommend the electric needle treatment, but even with the mildest type of mole, he'll urge the most exjiert of workers for the Job. If yotu face has a scar from a mole removal or from acne, don't wait until the tissue Is completely destroyed. See a good skin specialist before the soars are old. and In all probability, he can save you any further embarrassment. MAURICE CHEVALIER HOLLYWOOD SUNDAY AIR THRILLERS AND FUN KINGS WEEK END FILMS Pictures of more than usual In terest are billed for the Warner Bros, houses three days beginning Sunday with that fun pair, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woosley, as drugstore cowboys In new laughs, coming to the Elsinore In "Caught Plastered." and "Dirigible, starring Jack Holt, Ralph Graves and Fay Wray. at the Capitol theater. In the comedy offering at the Elsinore Is found more action and less talking than usual. For the benefit of those who have not seen the two laugh kings, the picture not only ts funny, but It is funny In an altogether refreshing way. It com bines new laughs and dramatic tensity. The story was written and production supervised by Douglas MacLean. "The Ruling Voice," a story of the lawlessness of a great city shows for the last times Sat urday at the Elsinore with the pop ular midnight matinee starting at 11:30 o'clock. "DtriKible" Is an aerial epic that has long been awaited by Salem aviation and movie fans. The mon ster naval airship, the "Los An geles." plays an Important part In the production. The story of "Dirigible" Is the story of the con quest of the South Pole by aircraft Danger, adventure-thrilling flying all are built around a powerful theme of romantic love. There is no "make believe" about the stunt flying, the picture being made at the naval air station at Lake hurst. N.

Tlie efficacy of the tariff system in demoralizing anil curtailing world trade is exemplified again with the recent action of Great Britain in deserting free trade and joininK the list of nations erecting tariff embargoes patterned after the American plan. When the llawley-Smoot tariff hill was passed, nearly all the foivitrn nations slapped on retaliatory tariffs against American products, except Great liritain, and American in dustries lieiran establishing branch factories, in Canada, Fiance, Germany and elsewhere, to retain established mar kets. Mow Great liritain with its anti-dumping law has supplemented its de.-ertion of the gold standard, which by the depreciation of the pound sterling had the same effect as a tariff in raising the price of imports, with its anti-dumping law, providing excessive tariffs on imports. In reprisal, the United States is raising the duty on Im porta from Kng'.and to muke them equal to the duties charg ed on American products by the I'.rilish. I'ruler the tariff laws, the countervailing duties go into effect automatically whenever the American duties on certain articles are less than charged by a foreign government on the same article. The r.ritish anti-dumping tariff measure, which becomes effective Wednesday, allows duties of 50 per cent based on value upon a long list of articles imported from the United States. In this list is metal furniture, cutlery, agricultural implements, w ireless sets, typew riters, woolen manufactures. Blockings and hose of silk and artificial silk, men's clothing, gloves, except those of rubber, tires and tubes and paper. Thus one tariff law begets another in reprisal and in ternational commerce foots the bill. Already American in dustry is planning the establishment of plants in Kngland, which will mean less employment for the American work men and less business for American railroads and steamers, its a mad race that can only foster world economic depres sion, for which the tariff cra7e is largely responsible. Inde pe r.derce W W. Newton has purchased the M acre tract fronting- on the rlyer here belong ing to the late Lyman Damon. There are six acres in hops ad joining the cltjr north of the high way bridge, these have been tend ed by Joe Hlbbard sine the death or Damon The sale price was liaoo and Newton with live help of his sons will operate the land which ts very fertile. Newton has been operating a hopyard in the Hop ville section for the past few years, hts lease einuing with last year's F or n in Contributions to Ibis el tunn must be confined to JO words and signed by wilier. To the Editor: I '. as disunited with an article that I read in the paper. It said tliat tiovernor Meter s salary total was fl&j. and that he had o gen erously added $45. Now SIM ts Just 10 times what I am expected to give and I know that Mr. Ml?r Is worth more than 10 times what I am worth. I own a cheap automobile, tied up in the garage without a license ns t can't affoid one; nor can I af ford gas and oil to run it if I had a license. I own a radio that I bouxht seven years ago second hand and some furniture that I paid $MH ft several years ago. Th i is all 1 have. I own no home, no bonds I did have ll.ooo saved three Kara ago but stc.u.cs and two major operations swept that awayt I have no store or other bus iness to pay my expenses should my ; alary stop. I had to drop my life Insurance as I couldn't make the Ajiiitnu Ail my assets if sold at auction wouldn't bring $SQ3. and I know that Mr. Meier is north more than as.oo. Yet he demands that I dig up one whole day's earnings aamst his partial dm earnings, H can live without Ms governor's salary: I can t live without my small one. Why not baa the amount to be ghen upon a man's asse.s? Fif teen dollars is three p-r cent of my assets and this much he Is demaivd ing that I give. I do not know his assets but if we were to say 1100, 000 that would mean $3,000 for hun to give. Would he do It? Is he willing to give on the same basis I that he Is asking us to give? My children haven't beeu to & dentist for three years. Their health Is suffering because with un steady work. I haven't had the money to even meet installment payments on teeth repair. If Mr. Meier would visit some of the homes of his lower paid em ployes and find out the living con ditions in these homes he'd not be advocating such things. Let him put a box In the entrance of each department and let all receiving a low salary or those who have not had steady work, give as they can; the box would not be empty. There would also be more peace and good will for him among the working people. It has only been about six months since I paced the streets looking for work. I know how it feels and have helped many a poor fellow. We live closer to the poor and give far more than we are abb. Did Mr. Meier deny himself a single necessity when he gave $130? No! He is not that near bankrupt. But $15 to me means a month's rent or a bit over half my month's grocet7 bill, or dental work fur my children, or clothes for my wife, she has had so little as we were saving for a home when sickness swept the money away. It means so many, many things to me. I had to turn the Red Cross down. I'll have to refuse to buy seals. I have always given a little to the organizations but can't now. ! With many of us it will just be transferring our hlp to the com mission, money that was otherwise given with a free heart and "The gift without the giver is bare." I know some charity cases that dfserve the help that they are get ting and I knaw some that have iar more than we. They get for the asking aiori- than we got by wot kin?. I know personally of one chanty cas? that wasted more fruit and vegetables this summer than we were able to buy. It makss me wonder Maybe It would be better in those hard times to give my Job to some other poor devil and ask for charity. May some one who has the Inter ests of all in his heurt com? forth with a solution in this gr.at hour or n?rd but I do nt beli -ve that Mr. Meier has solved the prc'alem in a fair way. I H. COOPER. Maurice Chevalier, who rose to the heights of screendom in one of the most meteoric careers Hollywood has known,- comes to the Hollywood theater in Salem, Sunday for three days. This young Frenchman, with the background of all French military history behind him. puts a verve and dash Into this story of gay army life among the ladies, which could not be excelled by any other actor in present day motion pictures. Ir resistible In any picture he has yet made. Chevalier proves doubly so In this offering, particularly to the feminine members of tlie cast. It's not quite all "laugh, love 'em, and leave 'em," however, for there Is suf ficient body to the plot to maintain the Interest of the most indifferent. Chevalier Is supported In the lead ing roles by Claudette Colbert and Charley Ruggles. The comedy fea tures. Charley Chase, in ' The Panic fs On," and news reel and short sub jects complete the bill. The final showings of "Stepping Out" will be the feature at the Hol lywood Saturday night. "Stepping! Out." a comical filmtfatlon of the! New York stage hit, was personally adapted by the author. Elmer Harris. I for the picture. A whole galaxy of i stars, including Reginald Denny, Charlotte Greenwood. Leila Hyams. Lillian Bond and Cliff Edwards are in the cast. In this picture It's the wivs who step out. Many of the scenes are laid in Agua Caliente and the rest In Hollywood.

Slon hav? returned to their home in Portland after spending a veek a.s house guests of Mr. and Mrs. I.sadjre Loran. Mrs. Slon Is a cousin of Mrs. Loran. Other guests at the Loran home this week were their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ras miusen ar.d their small daujhter. Mainlvn Jean of SHvenon. Here's the Time When Girl Is Justified in Unladylike Behavior She Is 28. the man 33. For three years they were constant compan ions. Marriage was talked of. Then his father died, leaving a lone mother on his hands. She, a woman who'd been used to a hus band doing practically her think ing for her. became so exacting of the son's time that arguments with the fiancee arose. They drifted apart. Another man came Into the fi ancee's life. He was serious. The girl was just beginning to see the advisability of accepting him when No. 1 reappeared, heart broken at the news he'd heard, and pleading for another chance. He got it be cause he was the one she loved. Six months have passed, but no mention Is made of marriage. There is no lack of money. It's the wid owed mother's demands that she be not left alone. "What demands can a girl make" asks Paula, "about the future and still be a lady?" Is It so Important to be a lady? A lady in the seme meant here, of course? I'm wondering how many women riding triumphantly beside their egally espoused mates would be sitting all so pretty If they took that lady business seriously? As I view this show of lining up a man for the altar, being a lady doesn't seem to matter half so much as getting the man there. Not that said gentlemen have all had to be wheedled, bridled or flogged Into the famous processional step but the great majortiy of them have to be urged. Well inspired, then! Anyway, they haven't been diccouraged, exactly, nor allowed to slide alonti year after year by per mission of a code that doesn't per mit a "lady" to express her perf-erence.
