GOVERNMENT GUARANTEES YOUR LOAN
The National Housing program, whereby banks are
guaranteed loans to home-owners for repairs, and remodel«
¡ng should result in increased business for the lumber In
dustry if if goes over at all effectively, For that reason it
should receive considerable support from the lumber com
munities.
For those whose income is sufficient to repay the
notes lu three to five years it seems a wise measure to
take advantage of the loan and make needed re,»airs to
property. New roofs and paint as well as lumber re|iairs
are essential to keep homes in shape.
These loans are from the local banks' money and all
that is asked is that you have an adequate regular income
of at least five times the yearly payments and a good credit
record in your community.
When repairs and remodeling is done it is not only
the sawmill but carpenters, plumbers and painters and mer
chants as well who benefit by the increased business. This
is one of the methods of the “New Deal” in providing em
ployment and putting more money in circulation.
TAXES TAKE ONE DO LI .Alt OUT OF FIVE
Taxes in 1933 reached the all time high in this country
of nine billion dollars or more than a billion dollars more
than the nation spent for food. Taxes took 20 cents out of
every income dollar and they are still going up. The na
tions income was forty-five billions.
More than half the federal government's revenue
comes from five states—New York. North Carolina. Illinois,
Pennsylvania and California. Other items of expenditure
in the nation which ran high totals were:
$7,650,000
3,600.000
3,600.000
2,925.000

UNCLE SAM HELPING COLLEGE STUDENTS
The federal government w ill provide aid to 12 per cent
o f the students in colleges of the country this year in work
ing their way through school. More than $80,000 has been
allotted to Oregon higher learning institutions. FERA jobs
will be provided, half of which will be for new students.
The government wants more and more young people
to continue in school rather than compete in private in
dustry and business and indications are that the desired
increase is going to take place. I^arge number of applica
tions are now being received by the registrars of the col
leges. In Oregon 600 students will receive this federal aid.
It seems the Portland union longshoremen have agreed
io arbitration but not to peaceful picketing. Beat-up gangs
still Terrorize Portland and clubs and firearms are in con
stant use. The public is getting pretty weary of this sort of
thing. A good many think that the national guard should
have made a thorough cleaning of the Portland docks be
fore coming home.
There are school districts in Lane county with tax val
uations of $1000 a pupil and others with $100,000. Then
we talk of equal taxation and millage limits. What we need
is school taxation by county and state instead of by blocks
bounded by imaginary lines.
A Izmdon broker predicts an American stock market
boom before the end of the year News reports, however,
record the lowest selling in history. Those who believe in
miracles might invest their money now.
We have expected to hear that some enterprising

THIS MORNING
A case of ' Infantile paralysis’’ has just left my office.
The formidable disease of the spinal cord, pretty well
known over the land because of the experience of our presi
dent with the same affection. We known of his interest in
the mineral spring in the south, where he goes occasionally
for renewed treatment.
My patient, a wife, aged 50, had the acute attack last
January. Her home on the farm in Missouri. Her doctor,
a skilled diagnostician, brought her through the acute
stages with remarkable judgment. A cultist had diagnosed
the case “neuritis,” which was vague,—decidedly inaugur
ate; mistakes in this disease are often had to rectify after
the harm is done.
The good family doctor "got out of the case with all he
could save.” The woman can hobble about a little, with as
sistance. The febrile stage is gone. It is my business to
restore the damaged system as safely and as fast as pos
sible. We do not need medicines now, so much as we need
warm baths and trained massage; these we shall give the
good woman and it's going to take time.
One thing that is positively dangerous here at this
stage is, hurtful manipulation ut the spine. I shall not
permit the masseuse to attempt to "adjust” the vertebrae.
. . . .1 knew of a man in her condition who took three or
four very painful spiiiul “treatments,” he never walked
again!
This woman has had inflammation of the spinal cord
one of the great nerve centers of the human system. The
inflammation has left the great nerve-trunk weakened and
incapable; no amount of hammering on the bony structures
can help us restore normal function. We want hydrother
apy and skilled massage to restore.
