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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
