JONATHAN BOURNE TAKES
ON MIGHTY TASK, 1933.
IONATHAN BOURNE, erstwhile
J United States senator from Ore
gon, and we are not all sorry that
he Is "ex," has now donned the role
of president maker. He has an
nounced the candidacy of ex-sena
tor Joseph I. France of Maryland
for the nomination on the republi
can ticket. Bourne claims to be
republican, though he supported Al
Smith against President Hoover
and he now proposes to beat the
presdient within his party's ranks,
Bourne says the dominant ques
tions in the next campaign, 19-(
will be liquor, power, farm relief
and avoidance of foreign entangle
ments, and that Mr. Hoover is all
"wet" on each of these.
Ever since the memory of man in
these United States these have been
political issues. Foreign entangle
ments was an issue when Washing
ton went to the first White House
and liquor was always a political
issue, even in the days of the colony
government Farm relief was an
issue when Elisha made two blades
grow where one grew before and
for his efforts received the jeers of
the young hoodlums who cried af
ter him as he ascended the moun
tain to offer thanks to God: "Go
thou up baldheaded, go thou up.
Utility power and operations of
trusts Is a bit more modern, but all
of the Bourne-France issues are as
old as the hills and furnish a lot
of buncombe for political shysters.
But Jonathan knows the value of
publicity. In this respect the late
P. T. Barnum had nothing on Ore
gon's ex-senator. He rode into office
in Oregon through advertising, but
like all other products which fail to
stand the test he crumpled and
went Into the discard. Mr. France,
no doubt, is a very capable man, but
after the convention has met and
nominated, it will again be Mr.
Hoover. This is our humble predic
tion. And when the people have
spoken at the polls it will still be
President Hoover.
UTILITY MAGNATE SUES
KANSAS CITY STAB.
HENRY L. DAUGHERTY, star
stock salesman and promoter of
the universe is suing the Kansas
City Star and Governor Woodring
of Kansas for libel. The suit is the
outgrowth of exposures made by
the Star and actions taken against
the sale of Daugherty stocks in
Kansas by the governor. The fight
by the Star and Woodring has been
waged to bring about a reduction In
utility rates in the Corn Husking
domain and, of course, is a plan
that Is not agreeable with Mr.
Daugherty.

SOCIAL SERVICE IN TEE EARLY
CHtrRCH-
Acts 4:32-35; 6:1-4;
II Corinthians 9:1-7.
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
Christianity is far more than an
ideal. Its principles can be put into
practice. Calvin Coolidge recently
said in one of his daily messages:
"It would be difficult to find any
where on earth a human being
whose life has not been modified in
some degree by the Influence of the
Christian religion." Thought or ouv
era rather than of self is basic. This
began with the Founder and every
true follower has the same mea.
Today the world still needs the
fullest expression of Christian so
cialism. As people had need In the
Jerusalem congregation, provision
was made by turning into a com
mon fund whatever could be spared.
Many quarrels resulted over the dis
tribution of money. When the apos
tles faced the situation they real
ized that their work of preaching
was so great that they could not
also give adequate attention to the
physical needs of the growling
Christian community. Then the of
fice of deacon was Inaugurated and
even were chosen to undertake this
special type of service. This office
of deacon persists in the church of
today and a long line of men and
women have thus very honorably
served the Lord in helping the poor.
Later the gathering of the poor
fund was an extensive enterprise,
The Council of Jerusalem decreed
that Paul, and the other apostles to
the nations, should seek funds for
the poor In Jerusalem when they
ministered abroad. The church In
Corinth was held up as an example
to Ihe friends in Macedonia quite as
we are urged today to measure up
to the gift made by another. Thus
what are called modern financial
pressure methods In raising money

dailies, the promoter and utility op
erator brands the Star and Gover
nor Woodring as pursuing a mali
cious course and that the Star Is
conducting the campaign for no
other reason than to maintain a
hold upon the people of Kansas.
Here are some facts that are
more or less interesting aDOUl
Daugherty, the man who recently
carried full pace advertisements
over the country putting himself up
on a par with Thomas Edison, as
a benefactor to humanity and the
country boy who went to the big
city and made good. Daughtery has
made good with a vengeance it nis
success is to be measured in dol
lars and cents. He has built up a
giant organization and has gather
ed under his control millions upon
millions. He has driven the small
utility out of the field wherever he
has gone; he has ruined the small
and independent promoter of oil
and gas companies; he has financed
and dictated Better Business Bu
reaus from New York to Texas and
through these agencies he has
soucht and obtained the ruin of
men and investments of thousands.
The bureaus have acted as the stool
pigeons for the postal inspectors
and they have brought about ruin
of hordes of concerns that no doubt
would have made good and created
new wealth for the country and
their stockholders. He has juggled
rates to suit himself and has inflat
ed his stocks and deflated them at
will. He has operated the great in
vestment house of Daugherty at the
expense of his investors and one of
these days his house of cards will
fall about his head. These are
charges that have been made many.
many times through the public
print and they are charges that are
today being made by practically ev
ery independent oil and gas opera
tor from Pennsylvania to Califor
nia. His stocks were boosted beyond
all reason. They were sold by
Daugherty high pressure methods
using Better Business Bureaus
throuehout the country to boost
their sale. He is a fox, but it is
our prediction that other states will
follow the lead of Kansas and there
will be a lot of water squeezed out
of Daugherty securities.
There is every reason in the
world for the operation of utility
organizations. This paper believes
that they are a benefactor to man
kind. We still believe that private
ownership is far better than gov
ernment in business and prefer our
public utilities privately owned, but
we cannot endorse the Daugherty
stripe of utility management.
Daugherty makes his money selling
his own securities, not in manage
ment and through the rendering of
service.
THE COST OF ILLNESS.
Autocaster Service.
THERE is another thing that is as
sure as death and taxes sick
ness. The average American man is
ill once a year; the average Amer
ican woman nearly twice as often;
the child of school age twice as
often. These are figures taken from
a study made by the Committee on
the Costs of Medical Care, which
is coming to the end of a five-year
study of the economic aspects of
the prevention of disease and the
care of the sick. These illnesses to
tal about 130,000,000 every year.
Their direct cost in money is com
puted by the committee at $3,105,-
000,000.
This is a huge cost, reckoned ei
ther in terms of time lost or of
money expended. The cost would
be huge even if we could foresee
just when we will fall ill, just how
serious the illness will be, or just
how long it will last None of those
things, however, can be foreseen,
and to all the other burdens that
illness imposes upon us must be
added uncertainty. Uncertainty ex
ists not only as to appearance and
character of illness, it is even more
a factor with relation to cost. No
problem enters into the daily lives
of Americans that is more serious
than this.
Medical facilities in the United
States are adequate in the aggre
gate, perhaps. The committee has
found that 1,500,000 people devote
their full time to medical care
There is one physician to every 126
inhabitants. Over V,uw hospitals
have 900,000 beds, which would give
every man, woman and child one
and one-half days occupancy a year.
But neither physicians nor hospitals
are evenly distributed; there are
places that have too many, and
many more that have too few.
What can be done about seeing
that everybody in the United States
has sure and convenient access to
the medical care to which he is en
titled? What can be done about
seeing that those who furnish this
care are adequatlcy rewarded for
their labor? What can be done
about seeing that the means of pay
ing for this care are provided for
all the people?
In the four years which it has
already put In upon Its task such
progress has been made that ans
wers to those questions will soon be
submitted to the people of the Unl
ted States. There is promise that
the formula which will result will
be workable. If It Is, then one of
the great contributions to civiliza
tion of our age will have been made.
THE WORLD AND US.
Autocaster Service.
IT seems to us that a great deal of
1 the talk about the danger of hav
ing any relations with Europe is po
litical hooey Intended to put the
other fellow's party In a hole. There
isn't any way that the United Stat
es can keep from having relations
with Europe and all the rest of the
world.
"No man liveth to himself alone1
is as true between nations as it Is
between Individuals. There was
time, when George Washington was
alive, before steamships, telegraph,
telephones and airplanes had been
invented and when the United
States was a weak, struggling llttl
strip of settlements along the At
lantic Coast, when we had a right
to be afraid of Europe. But It
makes us mad to listen to some of
the people today who profess to be
afraid that if we, the richest and
JSo Tree or Fence in
"- TAX PLAINS
most powerful nation in the world,
have any relations except those of
trade with foreign countries, those
countries will gobble us right up.
The surest way to keep out of a
quarrel is to live on good terms
with your neighbors. All the world
is our neighbor today. When you
have a good neighbor who is in
temporary difficulties you try to
help him that is, if you yourseir
are a good neighbor. That is what
the United States is proposing to
do now in the case of our neighbors
in Europe. We don't believe that
that sort of thing constitutes the
sort of "entangling alliance oi
which Washington warned us.

Radio, the crowning achievement
of its time, and one of our greatest
blessings, may be degraded to a
mere matter of dollars and cents,
when mankind descends wholly to
that level. Did you ever think that
your receiving set may lead you
headlong into the open arms of the
nostrum-vender and quack, solely in
the interest of his pocketbook?
That you are made poorer and he
the richer by your own soft gulli
bility? It gives me a first-rate case of
nausea to hear the blatant yawp of
some hired man for a quack con
cern, pleading with me and you to
go to the drug store, first thing in
the morning and BUY a bottle of
germ-killer that knocks 'em in a
specified number of seconds!
These fellows that never crossed
the threshold of a pathological lab
oratory in their lives, presume to
tell me about "bacteria." They infer
off-hand that you and I have a
mouthful, neckful, stomachful of
potent germs, deadly in character,
"Preparation of Oats and Barley
for Pigs."
In the investigations barley and
oats were fed whole dry, whole
soaked, steam rolled, finely ground
and coarsely ground. Oats were fed
to growing pigs under 100 pounds
live weight, while the barley exper
iments were with fattening pigs
weighing about 100 pounds at the
start and about 180 at the finish.
Good feed grades of barley and
oats were used.
Grinding miproved the feeding

of oats, says A. W. Oliver, assistant
animal husbandman, who conduct

of barley increased Its feeding val

lessened their value.
Little or no advantage was gain
ed from soaking whole oats for
growing pigs, or from soaking bar
ley for fattening pigs. Coarse
grinding of both grains improved
their feeding value slightly but not
enough to make it an economical
practice. Grain was considered
finely ground when the particles
were so small that It was difficult
to distinguish the hulls from the
kernels.
Most hammer mills of the type
commonly used on farms will grind
grain finely when a screen with 1-8
inch holes Is used. Burr mills are
less suitable for fine grinding, says
Oliver.

Robbins Stoeckel, Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles of Connecticut,
says: "A really drunken driver is
usually not dangerous because he is
so easily and quickly detected, or
Incapacitated, as being found asleep
In his car at the curb. The really
dangerous driver is the man who
has had one or two drinks only, who
still thinks he is in possession of
his faculties, but his judgment has
been slightly Impaired. On the pub

more dangerous than Immoderate,
and on this account the authorities

"Prohibition," says Henry Ford,
"was intended to save the country
and generations yet to come. There
are a million boys growing up in
the United States who have never
seen a saloon and who will never
know the handicap of liquor either
in themselves or their relatives;
and this excellent conditions will go
on spreading itself over the country
when the wet press and the paid
propaganda of booze are forgotten.
There should be no mistake about
it. The abolition of the commercial
ized liquor trade in this country Is
as final as the abolition of slavery.
These are the two great reforms to
which moral America committed
itself from the beginning of its his
tory." The fact that such a large num
ber of our young people have never
seen a saloon and do not know how
hideous it was makes It easy for
the wet propagandist to persuade
many or them "that things are
worse than they were in the old
saloon days." This lie, and every
one with a memory worth calling a
memory, who lived in those days,
knows it is a lit, should be combat-
ted by all who know the truth. The
great pity is that many good people
who have forgotten the past, or who
were poor observers In the past, are
ready to echo this wet lie. Condi
tions are not ideal and there Is more
liquor in evidence than good citi
zens probably thought there would
be after ten years of prohibition,
but giving currency to wet lies does
not aid the cause in the least.
