If the light and power companies had the right to make rates they could make them so high, that eventually the people would be reduced to mere wage slaves of the public utility. Because this is true and human nature is what it is, the rate making power was long ago denied both the people and the public utilities and placed in the hands of an impartial state board, which would assure RATES FAIR TO BOTH PARTIES, guaranteeing no more than a "living wage" to the power company; and rates as low to the consumer, as this "living wage" allowed. We believe all fair minded people will agree, that this arrangement was, and still is, the right and proper one, assur ing as far as is humanly possible justice to all, and special privileges to none. On such lines, and only such problem be successfully worked out. YET we' have certain people, who not only deny this, but condemn the city council for not going back to proposi tion No. 1, and through the new franchise placing the power of rate making exclusively in the hands of the consumers! Obviously this can't be done, anymore than the exclusive power of rate making, can be put back in the hands of the power company. That sort of thing passed out ations ago. We must either ACCEPT the placing of rate con trol in the hands of an IMPARTIAL BODY j or abandon private ownership and public control entirely, and go over to public ownership and operation. There is no alternative. Can 't Meier TTIIERE is, 'as everyone knows, a strong popular prejudice against the so-called "light-and-power trust."

When publio regulation stepped in they turned to lobbying and propoganda, and basing their rates upon inflated values as testimony before the senate investiga tion committee clearly showed. So for their present unpopularity, the publio utilities have only themselves particularly the big power barons of the East to blame. They failed to see the folly of disregarding public good will, and trying to charge all the traffic would bear. As a result the pcoplo turned to publio ownership and oper ation, not because they were so enamoured with that idea, but because they regarded it as the ONLY ESCAPE from con tinued power trust domination and exploitation. It was on this issue that the last gubernatorial campaign in Oregon was waged, and as everyone knows, Governor Meier, on an anti power trust platform won. DECAUSE of this fact we believe the people of Medford can MJ safely leave the matter of new franchise to the state, where it is placed by law. We could understand the California Oregon Power company not liking such an arrangement, but we couldn't understand any valid objection from its enomies. . That is the situation NOW. Assuming the other provisions 0 new frgn0;8e are satisfactory, we can see no possible . .. . tt objection, to leaving the matter of consumer rates, to the publio service commissioner under the administration of Gover- nor Meier, How About Public Ownership? WHETHER or not this state and country finally go over to publio ownership and operation of electric light and power, we believe will depend entirely upon the power com panies. If they fail to see the handwriting on the wall, fail to place the obligations of public service, above frenzied finance fail to stop trying to milk the publio cow DRY then publio owner ship and operation is coming as certainly as the sun is coming up tomorrow. On the other hand if they see the handwriting on the wall, see that a natural monopoly, has as great an obligation to the people, aa it has to its stockholders, that demanding only a fair profit is not only the best policy, but eventually the BEST BUSINESS, then we believe, private ownership under strict and just publio control will continue. ..... PJOR the people as a whole are more than willing to be fair. If the power companies show they want to treet them right, the people will treat the power companies right. And a va.t majority of the people, we feel certain, would prefer private ownership, under such conditions, to public ownership and operation, with the question of service rates, and administrative personnel, thrown into the MAELSTROM OF POLITICS every three or four years I In this issue the final outcome rests with the leaders of the electrio industry and with them alone.

Eslman Bath, Ash-ii-lm and tub, Today By Arthur Brisbane Well and Cheerful, The Nation's Brain, Budget ' Balancing, An Assembled Govern ment, Copyright King Features Synd Inc. WASHINGTON (D.C.) June 3. The president today look ed unusually cheerful and his health has never been better. Perhaps a balanced budget contributes to his cheerfulness, perhaps the fact that represen tatives in congress are anxious to get away, and may go home This is written under the dome of the capitol, which may be called the nation's skull. Beneath it are the two lobes of the law-making brain, the senate and house, and between them, the supreme court, repre senting after-thought, ready to correct mistakes. George Washington laid the cornerstone of'the capitol and would like to see it now. - Above the East front of the fine building three star-spangled banners are waving In warm breeze. Inside. men worn out with long hours of hard discussion, are trying to replen ish the nation's pocketbook. Everybody ha worried about bal ancing the budget. Millions are to be cut from salaries of public em ployes. Including thousands that get a little a 838 a week. The Angel Gabriel will write down Hiram John son's fiery speech In defense of un derpaid workers, asked to make good, from life necessities, waste and ex travagance for which they are not re sponsible. The nation's total debt today is seventeen and a half billions, more than fifteen ttmea aa muoh as when the war atarted. That sounds serious until you realize that In good times the na tional Income la ninety billions If you had n Income of ninety thou sand a year and owed only seventeen thousand, five hundred, you would consider yourself solvent. . Why must the government worry so much about the budget, when It owe all told, only one-sixth of one year's Income? Many Americans complain of con gress, belittle It ability. That Is a mistake. There are brilliant men In both houses, abler than those that criticize without knowing. The trouble I that your govern ment la what automobile men call an "unassembled Job." If you assembled parts from forty eight different automobllea, you would not expect the machine to run well, even with all part first clsas, Individually. Downhill. It would run nicely, even with four wheels of different sizes. But up-hill with the difficulties of a rough road, It would travel poorly, Our congress 1 assembled from forty-eight states, each knowing on the average all about hla own neigh borhood, not ao much about the forty-seven other neighborhoods Florida does not know Oregon. Maine doea not know southern California, Kansas doe not know the east side ot Manhattan or the problems ot New Mexico. Tou are remlndM of Samuel John sons statement that a woman preaching Is like a dog walking on hla hind legs. It Is not that the dog does It well, but you wonder that he does It at all. There ar four hundred and thirty five Congressmen In the House of Representatives, too msny. One Con gressman for forty thousand sounded reasonable, when there were fewer th.an tour million people In America. The maximum then would be one hundred Congressmen, some say It should be whittled down to two hun dred now, every state having at least two. The Senate met early today, Norrls of Nebraska and Borah of Idaho sit side by side. You would not want two abler, more earnest, honest Americans than those, whether you agree with them In everything or not. Many ot the ablest men In Amer ica are In that body, also few rather feeble. . Speaker Garner sees newspaper men one hour before noon. The correspondents respect him.

VARICOSE ECZEMA Dr. Weeks And Mueller of Mew Tork report their experience in the treatment ot 325 cases of varicose veins by injec tion, the so-called chemical ob literation meth od. They con clude thla Is the safest and surest method of rid ding a patient of varicose veins. The obliteration of the varicose vein or veins proves the most effective treatment for the obstinate eczema and for the ulcer that com plicates so many cases. In this series 88 per cent of the eczema and ulcer cases were healed, and remain ed healed, when the veins were ob literated. These physicians prefer a solution of quinine and ethyl carbamate for Injecting the veins, and they believe only one Injection should be given at each treatment. They prefer this particular sclerosing agent because they say the patient does not have the cramp In the leg which Is fre quently present for several minutes following injections of sodium sali cylate or even injections of salt solu tion or sugar solution. Other physi cians with wide experience in the treatment of varicose veins favor salt or sugar solution. When Z began recommending this Injection or chemical obliteration treatment for varicose veins here several years ago many of the com placent big shots of the profession openly pooh-poohed the suggestion, some who will never grow up even assuring confiding patients that such treatment would be "dangerous." Today no good doctor would think of subjecting a patient to the poor results of old-fashioned surgical re moval of varicose veins. Later when X began urging on read ers the diathermy method of extirpa tion of tonsils, many of the bad little boys of the profession, especially the little brass throat specialists, behaved Just as Incorrigibly about it. In the more benighted communities some of the old timers are still opining that there Is something "dangerous" or "Inadequate" about this newfang led method, and these same anti quated practitioners are still main taining a mortality rate from the re moval of tonsils by the old Spanish method. Recently when X announced here that If I had a hernia I'd have the ambulant or injection treatment first, and only when -a fair trial of that failed would I consider under going Vie radical operation, a few Is bedtime for many young moderns. She misses her friend In Texas. It Is so pleasant to go "Just as you are" when asked to come over for supper. Or, when anybody knocks, while you are eating to say "Shove over, pull up a chair." All Washington talks of the con vention. The president Is aa good as renominated now, so the talk Is about the Democrats. "Can any body stop Roosevelt? Can he win if nominated?" James T. Williams Jr., a newspaper man who knows politics, quotes Mr. Coolldge's remark, "You cannot stop somebody, with nobody " And to that Mr. Williams adds, "And you cannot stop somebody with everybody. You need some men to do the stop ping." However, there are able politicians determined to do the stopping and many of them agree that If Roose velt Is stopped, in spite of his more than six hundred votes, Speaker Oarner will be the man .chosen.

The world moves, and sometimes a careful observer csn note s sug gestion of movement along with it among even us regular physicians. Perhaps it Is just aa well for the public welfare that a large majority of regular physicians have to be lit erally yanked along with the rest of the world, otherwise we'd be over looked and forgotton, what with the racket of the charlatans. These three modern refinements chemical obliteration of varicose veins, diathermy extirpation of ton sils and ambulant treatment of hernia are all that make me envy the young doctor today. For all the rest of his lot I can only offer him my sympathy. He needs a lot of that to stand the gaff. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Breathing In Bag for Hiccough I tried your breathing In & bag for hiccough and found It stopped the hiccoughs in a few seconds, after hours of suffering ... (A. O.) Answer X do not remember the name of the physician who devised this Blmple yet efficacious treatment for hiccoughs. The victim simply takes a paper bag such as grocers use, holds It as snugly as possible over nose and mouth, and breathes In tt for a minute or two, thus get ting the advantage of a concentra tion of J carbon dloxld to Inhale. Black Beard My brother shaves once and many times twice a day, yet In a few hours after shaving his face is covered with a heavy dark beard. Would peroxide bleach it without harm? (P. P. J.) Answer I know of no harmless remedy. Brother rf.ght put on a turtle neck sweater and use some tolack shoe polish on his hair and look just like Clark Qable. The Constipation Habit Formerly I took all kinds of phys ics, used plain and fancy syringes and all such tom-foolery, and was in a miserable state of mind from constant worry about the action of tAe bowels. I became a convert to your teachings, and I have used nothing whatever to "regulate" that function for more than a year, and I never have any trouble. Thank you, doctor. (R. D. W.) Answer The first five days are the hardest. After that It la easy sailing. Glad to send detailed In structions to any victim of the habit who (a)- incloses 10 cents In coin, (b) a stamped envelope bearing his address, and (c) says he or ahe has the constipation habit. political Simps that run the City of Medford, why not write them an open letter of an apology alnce you have found out that they made a better deal with the Power company than you did. Seventh Why not write George Codding, our district attorney. It may be that he will give you some politi cal advertising thl coming election In exchange. Eighth Why not write Herbert Hoover an open letter of an apology, you have got him so shot full o holes that his friend do not recog nize him They say that he la the Father of all the Utilities in the U. S., and all smeared with the same tar. Why not treat them all with the same respect. Ninth Last and Least I think you owe me an open letter ot apology you traded off my platform you In dorsed for a mesa of advertisement, of course 1 am not even a fly In the ointment. O, yes, do you remember the day you first heard that Judge Norton refused Earl Fehl a new trial and X happened to drop -Into the Newa office and you told me to get my gun out and get ready to ahoot Who do you want me to shoot now? Myself, If you say ao. I might do It. STOP. WAIT. I am already a dead political candidate BANG; BANG. Tenth Thl will be the last ques tions I will ask you unless you want me to ask some more. Or tf your friends or my friends should request It. If so please write to the Editor and ask him for apace in hi valu able paper. Tour truly, W. N. CARL. Slogan, FARMER BILL, from Apple gate.

D. Norton, next Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, ,o enter a plea of guilty. ToUefson as cashier of the Central Point State bank, reported that he had been held up and robbed by a lone bandit May 10 at 1:60 p. m. Discrepancies devel oped in his story from the start, and the following day Tollefson admit ted the ruse. He has been at liberty under 2500 bonds furnished by his father and Elmer Hull of Central Point. AU missing funds were re covered and replaced. Under the Oregon law, 48 hours must elapse between receipt of a guil ty plea and the passing of sentence. The court has adopted this pro oedure in many previous cases, and Is expected to adhere to it la the pres ent action. Thla will bring the final chapter of the case up to ten o'clock Friday morning. ToUefson, a former University of Oregon student, will probably be rep resented in court by A. E. Reames, who will appear, not as an attorney, but as a friend of the family. A pe tition, reported aa widely algned by citizens of the county, particularly of the Central Point district, seeking leniency will also be presented to the court for consideration. Under the law, ToUefson Is liable to a prison sentence of from one to 30 years, and "5000 fine, or both. How About Beer? THE BEER VOTE Today the Senate was due to vote on beer and what a vote. One of the funny obsessions of the moron branch of the wet contingent Is that by taxing beer you can get an appreciable revenue In this coun try. What are the facts? Back in 1917 we had a federal war tax on beer of $0 a barrel, nearly as high as the present British beer tax. The figures Indicated that the revenue from beer In that glorious pre-prohlbltlon era was $126,000,000. The British just now are getting $7.50 a barrel approxima tely which would give us $151,000,000, assuming that we drank as much beer as we drank In 1917. But the wets claim they would get two and a half billion dollars, a per fectly fantastic figure. To get two billions and a half each family would have to drink enough beer to float a ship. For instance, tax or no tax, there are twenty-three states in the Union which absolutely prohibit the sale of beer under a state constitu tional prohibition amendment, leav ing 25-states to yield this promised revenue of two billion and a half. The average American family consists of four and a half persons and to get two and a half billions a year reve nue, every family would have to drink over three gallons of beer a day. But of course there are some families that would not drink any, probably, at least two out of five families. which would bring It up to six gal lons a day per family. Cutting out the children, each parent and each child over twenty-one would have to souse about two gallons a day to pay the tax. And when three-fifths of the fam ilies in the 25 states had paid two and a half billion for the beer tax. what would they have for the thou sand, things that now are regarded as necessities In the American house hold? The moron section of the wets is probably no more Idiotic In Its claims thsn the fanatic sections of the drys, But the problem of dealing with a habit forming drug to the best ad vantage of humanity on this conti nent will never be worked out by either the moron wets or the fanatic drys. The liquor problem Is a serious problem. But when the wets go charg ing up and down the streets of the cities under moron leaders like Jim my Walker, yelling for beer and pros perity, they are contributing nothing but noise "sound and fury" to one of the most difficult p-oblems facing mankind.

Stanley Parsons, steamship company repre sentative of Harbin, North China, was a Crater Lake visitor this week mar veling at the wonders of the scento gem while making a short vacation tour of Pacific coast states. Memories of war horrors of the Jap anese campaign still fresh In hla mind. Mr. Parsons was doubly Im pressed by the serene beauty and sol emn stillness of Crater Lake. Digressing from his admiration of the lake, Mr. Parsons spoke reticent ly of conditions as he had known them In and near Harbin during Jap anese military operations in that vi cinity "without unity of efficient leadership, Chinese were unable to cope with the invading Japanese," he said. "A recognizable form of govern ment in Manchuria is unknown and human life has but little value," he said.
