One of the DuPont* told the senate investigating committee that the huge DuPont corporation did a billion and a quarter business dur ing the world war. And the whole world is still paying the bill! "As goes Maine in September, so goes the nation to November," has long been a republican slogan. If it hold* good this year, we shall again have a democratic House and Senate in Washington when congress meet* in Jauary. For Maine last Tuesday re-elected it* two democratic con gressmen, re-elected its democratic governor, and Senator Hale, republi can, slipped through with les* than 1500 majority for re-election. How ever. 1938, will be another story, un less the present attitude toward the administration reverses itself in the next two yea.-*.__________ COURTESY IN PARKING I SB/ Eft There are two traffic ordinances in Coquille which are more honored in the breach than in the observance. One is that which forbids double parking. The streets in the business section are too narrow for such prac tice* to be indulged, but rather than walk a few step* farther, the average driver will stop, out in the street, and some time* where he or she could just as well drive to the curb. It make* a congestion that is annoying a* well as dangerous. The other major violation is in re gard to parking. The law provides Ihat the front right wheel shall be against the curb, and the left rear wheel just inside the white line. Cars parked parallel to the sidewalk are not according to the statue*. Thoughtfulness in parking very of ten require* an immense amount of jockeying to get the car next in front out from its parked space. If every driver would give the other fellow the same consideration as he himself would ask, there would be no parking of cars which prevents a driver from getting out easily. Consideration for the rights of other* would make these two traffic rules unnecessary. DUNNE IS THE MAN The Oregon Voter in its last issue appears to be preparing to get onto the Joe Dunne bandwagon. Like the Sentinel, the Voter is not supporting Martin, although it* esu-lier utter ances would lead one to think it in tended to do so. Gen. Martin is an honest, conscien tious gentleman, with a pleasing per sonality, but one who has passed the three score and ten mark has passed the prime needed to the executive position for the state of Oregon. This opinion is not biased by politic*. It make* no difference that Martin is a democrat and Dunne a republican. It is the ability of the candidate to give Oregon a successful administration, help develop the outstanding natural resources of the state, that has re sulted in a decision to support Dunne. More than that, from a strict ly selfish local viewpoint, Joe Dunne will do more for Coos county and southwestern Oregon than either of the other two leading candidates. He is honestly seeking to learn all there is to know about this section, and not in the past twenty years during which this writer ha* been familiar with conditions in southwestern Ore gon ha* Coos county had as good a friend in the governor's chair as Joe Dunne will be. Here is a portion at what the Voter had to say about the gubernatorial race last week: ! ' ■■ .. ; ' i is losing with the so-called progres sives among both democrats and re- | publicans, as they question the sin- | cerity of his allegiance to those prin ciple* of the New Deal which are ex emplified by ite trend into public ownership of utliiies, bank* and key industries. Both Gen. Marlin and Joe Dunne have come out clearly against Die Grange power bill. Joe Dunne ha* been against it all the time. Gen. Martin just heard of it recently. Gen. Martin is so much identified with Bonneville that security owners as a class are suspicious; tliey are in clining towards Dunne A* election day draw* near, there will be an attempt by conservathe leader* to concentrate behind that candidate who has the better chance of beating Zimmerman. If that con centration took place today, the vote probably would go to Martin, for Dunne’s gain* a* yet have not put him ahead pi the general to the opin ion of conservative leaders. But, with Dunne gaining and Martin los ing, there may be a great swing to Dunne on the eve of election. In fact, there seems to be little enthusiasm. ,-xcept among partisans, for either Martin or Dunne. The two are so different in type, so opposite in many respects, that it is difficult to com pare them, but neither today com mands the confidence and respect es sential to enthusiasm among non partisans whose main desire is for good government. Dunne ha* had little of that confidence and respect, and Gen. Martin, who once had it, has to a noticeable extent forfeited it by what appears to be his willingness to try to play politician for the sake of winning office. The threat involved in Labor's support of Bimmerman may be the decisive factor in inducing the big swing that will decide whether Dunne or Martin will be the leading candidate against Zimmerman. With the election only eight weeks away, the direction of that swing is as yet uncertain, but with surface indica tions that it will be towards Dunne because of dissatisfaction with the New Deal and the republican trend being occasioned by that dissatisfac tion. it ■ » ( ~ Center traction-— tenth spuA trsed ribbed sido- twist Cord—- » —lr— ■30x3H 4.50-21 ■ 34.49 3549 ■4.40-21 4.75-19 34.95 35.79 i < ■1 -'4 W U 4.50-20 5.00-19 F 33JM 36.95 Prices subject te chant* without notice.

C oquille S ervice S taton •A Phone 133 Every city in Oregon, large or «mall, will be interested in the out come of the mandamus suit filed in the supreme court this week by a taxpayer of the city of Reedsport. The suit involves the validity of an act passed by the regular legislative session of 1933 authorizing city coun cils to issue refunding bonds without bothering about an election to con sult the views of the voter*. The act was intended to help near-bankrupt municipalities, of which there are said to be a number to Oregon, solve their financial problem* by making it a* easy a* possible to re-finance un retired mature bonds on a more ad vantageous basis. Attorney General Van Winkle is of the opinion that the act is valid, as also is that nationally recognized firm of Boston bond ex perts, Storey, Throndike, Palmer A Dodge. Attorney* for a Portland bank, however, have questioned the validity of the act, contending that it violates the constitutional inhibi tion against public indebtedness without consent of the voters. Hence the mandamus suit in which the court is asked to act a* referee and settle the argument. An aggressive campaign of tax foreclosure, involving properties on which taxes are delinquent prior to 1930 to to be undertaken at once to practically every county of the state. This was agreed upon at a conference in Salem this week attended by dis trict attorneys and tax collectors. Discussions at the conference reveal ed the fact that in some counties tax delinquencies run as far beck as twelve to fourteen year*. Some of the tax collectors favored a liberali zation of the tax laws in order that homes and farm* might be saved from foreclosure while others were Inclined to the view that tax laws in Oregon were already too liberal and encouraged tax delinquencies. Much sentiment was found favorable to a proposal that tax payments be ar ranged upon an easier payment basis such a* the ten installment plan re cently advanced in Multnomah coun ty. that he expects to retire from pubii* 'life at the end of the year when his present term as director of agricul ture expires. The announcement has given rise to speculation a* to the possibility of retaining Gehlhar a* manager of the state fair even if he doe* step out a* director of the de partment of agriculture. Of course, that would necessitate an amendment to the present act which ties the two office* in together, but that could no doubt be arranged. Gehlhar has made an outstanding sucecss as man ager of the fair. Taking the institu tion when it was bankrupt and when many of its friends wanted to sus pend it temporarily he has paid off all of the Indebtedness which he in herited from hi* predecessors and put the fair on a self-supporting basis. This year’s show, in many respects, was the best in the history of the state. The ground* and buildings were in better condition, exhibits and displays fully up to standard and the entertainment features far above the average as witness the capacity crowds of the week. Gehlhar say* that hi* present job interferes with his private business and means a personal sacrifice on his part but a* manager of the fair he could devote at least a part of hi* time to private affairs and Oregon will have to go a long way to find a man who can do a* good a job with its annual agricultural and industrial exposi tion / Uncle Sam has relented from his threat to cut off Oregon’s share of unemployment relief fund* enough to come through with the regular al lotment for September. Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief admniistra- tor, in a telegram to Governor Meier, says that the attempt to fi nance unemployment relief through the sale of certificates of indebted ness, has convinced him of the state’s good faith, hence the September al lotment. Whether the allotments will continue to come is not indi cated. The supreme court wil prob ably pass on the validity of the pro posed certificates before another month rolls around. _________________ Dr. G. C.

However, several hundred case* are still not adjusted, some of which are a good deal more difficult than the average, reported L. R. Breit- haupt, college extension economist and secretary of the council. E. M. Ehrhardt, president of the Federal Land Bank of Spokane, told the member* that that institution has closed approximately 5300 farm loans to Oregon since May, 1933, for nearly 15 million dollar*. About one-fourth as many additional loan* are approv ed and pending, of which from 500 to 600 involve debt adjustments be- fore they can be closed, he said. I This record of loans made and' pending, together with a large, volume of farm-debt adjustment and refinancing done in connection with other farm mortgage credit agencies, has greatly relieved the farm debt Situation as compared with the ex tremely critical condition which pre vailed two years ago. Officials of the Land Bank present at the meeting gave hearty credit to Oregon’s 250 state and county farm-debt adjust ment committeemen for having ren dered unusually outstanding service In the farm re-financing program. After a thorough discussion of the provisions of the Frazier-Lemke farm bankruptcy plan, it was the general conclusion that the bankruptcy plan is not likely to apply except in case* which cannot be settled satisfactorily by conciliation. Plans for continuing the farm-debt adjustment work were considered by the council, with particular reference to slow and tough cases. Ashland Normal Prospects The prospect* for a large enroll ment at the Southern Oregon State Normal School at Ashland this fall look very promising. Although school does not begin until September 24, the personal and written inquiries are coming in at the rate of ten to twelve per day. These inquiries are rather evenly distributed between those interested in junior college work and those interested in teacher training work. The degree of success with which the last year's graduates have been placed in teaching positions this year (now more than seventy-five per cent of the 1934 graduating class) is very encouraging to those young men and young women who are interested in preparing for teaching work, and V* enlarged junior coltegs currtcu- who are interested in continuing their college training but do not wish to become elementary teacher*. The acceptance of credit* earned at the Southern Oregon State Normal School by four-year institutions of Oregon and elsewhere is a recogni tion of the high quality of work done at this school which is gratifying to both the graduate* of the school and the members of the teaching and administrative staffs. Opportunities for participation to such extra-curricular activities as athletics, music, art, dramatics, cre ative writing, and the Hiking Club attract the attention of those students who wish to use their spare time profitably. The two new hard sur faced tennis court, a volley ball court, and an improved athletic field which were provided through C. W. A. and F. E. R.

The Southern Oregon State Nor mal School will receive student fed eral aid to the extent of four hundred and fifty dollars per month through out the 1934-35 school year which will be used to give financial aid to as large a number of deserving stu dents as possible. Poliomyelitis-Infantile Paralysis (Oregon State Board of Health) The difficulty in recognizing polio myelitis before the development of paralysis is due not so much to the absence of diagnostic sign* and symptom* a* to the lack of oppor tunity for the physician to observe that stage of the disease. It is unfor tunate that in many instances the symptom* are so insignificant that parent* do not call a physician. A child is taken ill suddenly in the late summer or early fall. The symptoms first to appear are headache, lndiges-, tion and mild fever. The child com plain* of stomach-ache, some nausea and usually vomits once or twice. The headache appears early in the fore part of the head and is persistent. The fever is usually mild and seldom exceeds 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Many children complain of pain or stiffness in the back of the neck. None of these-symptom* seem alarm- ! ing and it is for this reason that er-| rors or failure* in diagnosis are made. It remain* for the thorough exam ination by a competent physician to reveal the serious nature of the com plaint Half of all case* are under five, four out of five are under ten ' years, nine out of ten are under fif teen years, and nineteen out of twen ty are under twenty years. the Union. The disease, however, even in the most serious outbreak* rarely exceed* two cases per thou sand population. There are indeed few diseases that give rise to such great alarm and hysteria in a com munity a* doe* poliomyelitis. Th* panic which exist* in time* of epi demic is harmful for all concerned and is just as detrimental as the apathy between epidemic* at a time when something should be done to prepare for the next. There are some precaution* that every one can take. Undue exposure to the infection should be avoided. This can be done by not having con tact with sick persona, especially children suffering with an unknown complaint. Every person must be re garded as a potential carrier, even the mothers and fathers of those who have had poliomyelitis. The gather ing together of children from infect ed districts should not be allowed. Complete isolation is never advised; it would be an unnecessary hardship for parent* and children alike. It is important, however, to keep the nose and mouth in as healthy and resis tant a condition a* possible. Anti septic gargle* and sprays ar* defin itely contraindicated because they may cause some injury to the deli cate mucous membranes through which the virus may enter. Children should be cautioned against getting water in the nose while swimming. Care should be taken in the cleaning and handling of food. . Of the greatest importance is the early recognition of the disease. Since all children cannot be contin ually in care of physicians, the bur den of responsibility rests squarely on the shoulders of parent*. In time of epidemics they naturally watch their children with great car*. It is important for them to know when to call a doctor.
