THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON
WANT LIQUOR
RESTORED TO
PRIVATE SALE
rtepeal of Oregon's liquor control
law, the Knox act, to take the state
out of the rum traffic and turn the
liquor business over to private re-
tullers was culled for today by the
Home Rule League, inc., of Ore
gon.
Initiative petitions for such i
law were filed with the state de
partment late yesterday by A. E.
Kern, president, and R. O. Welch,
both of Portland, president and
secretary, respectively, of the
leugue.
Not prohibitionists, the league
men said they did not believe the
state should be In business, com
peting with the taxpayers.
A proposed constitutional amend
ment which would give Incorpor
ated cities "home rule" to license,
regulate, control or prohibit the
retail sale of all alcoholic liquors
was also filed by the league. A to
tal of 16,371 signatures of voters
must be obtained on each petition
by July 1 to put the questions on
the November ballot.
The new liquor law would cut the
tax on beer from $1.30 to 62 cent
per barrel, but compensate for this
by levying a 60 cents per gallon tax
on whisky, which pays nothing now.
Wine would be taxed at five cents
per gallon. The state would collect
all taxes, 25 per cent of which
would go into the general fund and
75 per cent into the common school
fund, which would be apportioned
among the counties according to
population.
Breweries, wineries, distilleries
and wholesalers would also be li
censed and taxed by the state. The
distillery license fee would be rais
ed from $100 to $2500 annually.
Wholesalers of four per cent beer
would pay $500, of beer and wine,
$1500. and of all liquor, $2500.
Sponsors of the measures esti
mated' the state's revenue, would be
$2,500,000 annually, Portland's,
$500,000, and other cities In pro
portion. AL HARRIS INVENTS
ECCENTRIC DRIVE
North Bend, Ore., Mar. 21 (LP)
An "eccentric drive," designed to do
away with the dead center or low
spot In operation o( a bicycle or
gasoline engine, has been developed
by Al Harris, local Inventor.
With Harris' device, there is no
loss of power such as occurs when
the pedals of a bicycle are at the
bottom of their revolution and pres
sure applied to the pedals furnishes
no power.
The eccentric is designed to do
away with the dead center points in
an internal combustion engine, both
diesel and gasoline, Harris said. It
distributes power from the explosion
to the complete revolution of tho
drive shaft instead of to the down
stroke only.
In use the device h fastened be
tween the connecting rod and the
piston, .changing the angle at which
the thrust of the piston is delivered
to the drive shaft.
Among the advantages Harris
claims for his invention are a sub
stantial saving of fuel in the oper
ation of gasoline engines, and long
er life for moving parts, not to men
tion the saving of energy to oper
ators of bicycles equipped with the
device.

HEART FLIP FLOPS
WITH CO-ED KISS
Tuscon, Ariz., March 21 (LP
When a man says a pretty girl
causes his heart to turn flip-flops
he's only stating a scientific fact,
University of Arizona students sol
emnly proved.
In an advanced psychology class,
one husky male maintained aoc-
gcdly that no emotion would causa
any reactions in him. Members of
the class took him up on that. They
strapped a blood -pressure device to
his arm, blindfolded him and await
ed developments.
Soon, a pretty co-ed quietly slip
ped up to him and kissed him
soundly. The blood -pressure instru
ment almost exploded with his re
action. Building Progresses

GOLD RUSH DAYS
PRESENTED HERE
MAE WEST FILM
"Mae Day" comes early this year
Mae West's new picture, "Klondike
Annie," opens Sunday at the ELsl
nore theatre. In the best western
tradition, "Klondike Annie" is a
breezy story of San Francisco's Bar
bary Coast and the fabulous Alas
kan gold rush.
Mae is again a gay and orna
mental gal of the Ws, and Victor
McLaglen, virile hero of "The In
former" and "Professional Soldier,"
is her principal foil. McLaglen in
east as commander of a steamship
to which Mae flees after her escape
from a gambling house on the Bar
bary Coast where she has been held
a prisoner. In the battle that makes
her escape possible, a man is killed.
so Mae heads for the remotest spot
possible Alaska, where the go'd
rush is roaring on at full tilt. Mc
Laglen, enamored of his fair pas
senger, is delighted to be able to
taxi her north in his vessel.
Another passenger on the bo.it
Is a girl missionary, who rapidly
wins Mae's respect and friendship.
When the girl dies at sea, Mae is
grief-stricken but, even in death,
the girl comes to her aid. For as
the steamer nears Alaska, federal
operatives board it In search of
Miss West, who is wanted for the
San Francisco murder. Mae dis
guises herself in the missionary's
clothes, and carries off the imper
sonation successfully. But when the
ship docks at Nome, she discovers
that she must continue tne pose.
The complications that ensue brine
the film to an exciting and amusing
climax.

To The Editor: In my morning
paper I noticed a very important
article relative to the deer making
Inroads on the grazing land of the
eastern Oregon stockmen. I am
very glad that Messrs. Koehler and
Hayes have brought this matter to
light.
The Oregon sportsmen pay a vast
sum every year into the coffers of
this state for the protection and
propogation of the wild life. Any
and every sportsman of this state
will truly be astounded to know
that there are so many deer in
Grant county as to run the cattle
off the range. The sportsmen who
pay, and pay dearly, for their hunt
ing in this state, will not hear of
any plan or suggestion to further
reduce the number of mule deer in
the forests of eastern Oregon.
In the first place there is no
range in the so-called "rim-rock
county" of Oregon only for deer and
sheep. The deer Is a browsing ani
mal who crops the grass and never
pulls it up or destroys the root. The
animal that docs destroy the grass,
the trees and shrubbery, in fact all
plant life, is the sheep. The sheep
and cattle of eastern Oregon so dc
nudo the forests of grass and tree
shoots that the deer must seek the
valleys and lowlands In order to
subsist. The animal that should be
barred, or at least regulated, is the
sheep. One night is the permitted
length of stand In one place, and
the herders sometimes graze their
sheep in the one place for days or
until all feed Is gone.
If the season in this state were
any longer or the hunters were al
lowed to kill the does, it would only
be a matter of time until the deer
would follow the buffalo. In spite
325
Court St.
of all reports to the contrary, deer
are not increasing in eastern Ore
gon. The CCO roads and wrest
roads have made It possible to drive
to almost any spot in the state. A3
a matter of fact numerous oeer ate
killed each year from automobiles
on the roads, as I have personally
witnessed. Civilization and our
highway systems will soon take
care of the deer without and fur
ther plans to destroy them. Deei
are driven to the lowlands by deep;
snow and short feed, but very sei
dom do they ever become a nuis
ance, let alone being a positive
menace.
This state has one of the longest
open season of any state in the
union. If there was to be an open
season on the female specie them
would be a great many husbands,
fathers, brothers and sweethearts
that would never return from their
animal hunt.
No, there Is no Justification for
the statements of my friends fron
Grant county. I write this letter ai
a sort of initial bomb-shell In the
battle to preserve, not only our
deer, but all wild life in our glor
ious state. My father has preached
conservation to me for a quarter of
a century and I shall always spon
sor such movements and continue
my fight for the benefit of thU
generation and posterity. ,
Very truly yours,
CHESTER L. FRITZ.
Salem, Mar 12, 1938.
To the Editor: While in the le
gislature and a member of the
ways and means committee, I in
vestigated the conditions at the
feeble minded Institution. I think
those who have made similar In
vestigations will agree there are
some there who do not have the
mentality of some of our lower
brute animals, which is most piti
ful and they should pass out of
their misery and suffering.
I for one think that Dr. S. B.
Laughlin Is right, as it would be a
humane act. Of course it would
have to be done by a legislative act
and I do not believe, any two or
three doctors should have the say
as It is a serious undertaking, but
if passed on by 15 or 20 doctors,
allowing the nearest relative to
have the selecting of two or three
of the doctors, and all to be unan
imous before any chloroform Is
used. I do not think Dr. Laughlin
is advocating of throwing a chloro
form bomb into the Institution and
closing the door and let it hit any
and all. Investigate before con
demning the doctor. I think you
will agree with him.

TO THE EDITOR:
It is a well known fact and ac
knowledged by all thinking people,
that economic distress with its loss
of farms and homes by foreclosure
In the country, and unemployment
in the city, develops a condition
where the propaganda or com
munism is accepted by large num
bers of those in distress. The con
ditlons that produce this distress
are brought about by existing laws.
These laws have been enacted by
representatives of big business
enterprises and banking institutions.
This statement can be verified by
looking at the back copies of ,he
Oregon Parmer Union paper wnere
It has printed articles by President
Everson, E. E. Kennedy, congress-
man Lemke and others. These
articles describe the way these laws
net and the results they produce
They also tell how the longer the
laws operate the more oppressive

The Farmer union has had bills
before Congress for the last five
years, that would greatly relieve
the distress of the farming popu

them, while forclosures continue tc

the state depratment of health.
Since the life expectancy of a

not allow any bill to become a law
that would In any way relieve tne
economio distress of the farming

The same condition exists in re
gard to the wage earners of the
cities who purchase the products
of the farm. Their relief bills are
treated with the same contempt as
the farmers have received. Both
nolltlcal parties have acted In this
manner. All evidence points to tnis
conclusion. If the Farmers union
really wish to check the spread 01
communism as the resolution pub
lished bv the Central-Howell Local
indicated, the existing laws must
be changed. There must be no oc
casion for mass distress. The farm
ers must be made secure In the
possession of farm and home by
enactment of new laws giving that
security.
The Farmer Union has proposed
such laws already. The new laws
must provide opportunity for the
wage worker in the city to be em
ployed at wages that will enable
him to live above a starvation 3rd
class diet or lower, that he Is now
compelled to accept. In order to
change these laws the farmers and
workers must be represented
State and National Legislatures.
new political party must be organ

workers to secure this represen

hope to enact laws that will check
those who desire to overthrow the
present form of government.
Fascism Is more menacing at the
present time than communism
Fascism openly advocates the use
of force and violence to accomplish
its purpose, which Is to control
government and establish a mili

to war. The Farmers Union of

To the Editor: To the barbers of

you were getting better prices for
haircuts and shaves as well as the
grocerymen, butchers, landlords and
others. You have held prices down
during all the depression and you
certainly are entitled to the small
raise you are asking, and I for one
hope each and every barber .sticks
this time, as nothing unreasonable
Is being asked. No one should ob
ject to paying 10 cents more for
either shave or haircut where the
price has been 25 and 15 cents . I
am a working man, getting $30 per
month, not much but will cheer
