An Interlude
IT
S meeting at the White
more historic importance than ii now generally supposed.
Instead of being merely a post election incident, soon to be
forgotten, it may mark the first step toward a fundmental
change.
Nominally it is merely the meeting between a departing
and incoming president, the leader of one major party con
ferring with the leader of the other major and presumably
opposing party. 9
But ACTUALLY it is a meeting between two national lead
ers, who have a common purpose in mind, to solve the problem
of the war debts, in the manner best calculated to serve the
best interests of this country.
SIMILAR meeting of course may never be held again.
The Democratio party may go one way, the Pepublican
party another, and "never the twain shall meet."
But such an outcome presupposes, the success of the Demo
cratic administration, and its ability to lead this country out
of the present depression, at a rate sufficiently rapid, to dis
sipate the latent dangers which confront it.
If the Roosevelt administration should be unable to do this,
then further conferences between Roosevelt and Hoover, or
at least between Roosevelt and the recognized leader of the
Republican party are certain. '
More than that a working coalition government, the two
major parties uniting to survive a national crisis, as has been
done in Europe so many times under similar circumstances,
would be an inevitable outcome.
It will be interesting to observe whether this White House
meeting goes down in political history as merely a "strange
interlude" or as the first act in an epoch making drama, result
ing in the Republican and Democratic parties as separate
and opposing entities passing out of the picture, and uniting
for the common purpose of national defense and economic
survival.-
Exit Jimmy Walker
TTAMMANY isn't feeling so good. It kept its part of the
contract in the last campaign, delivered New York city
overwhelmingly to Roosevelt, put in its stuffed shirt candidate
for mayoiand knocked Holy Joe McKee into a cocked hat, but
there are rumblings of trouble for the future.
Over Holy Joe 's protests, hundreds of thousands of voters
in Greater New York insisted upon writing in the name of
Mayor Walker's successor.
They liked the way Holy Joe conducted the affairs of the
city. ' In a few short weeks, he reduced municipal expenses,
by hundreds of thousands of dollars, fired a host of bench
warmers and contract manipulators, and told the Tammany
hirelings to jump in the lake.
Tammany promptly marked him for slaughter, he was put
on the spot, and out on his ear he went.
OUT those written-in votes couldn't ALL be thrown out, and
they now stand over the Tiger's head, like the sword of
Damooles. '
Holy Joe is nobody's fool. Ha was quick to see the hand
writing on the wall, and his own opportunity. The other day
he resigned from Tammany Hall, announced his candidacy to
oppose Surrogate Judge O'Brien, and the right thinking and
independent voters of Greater New York are already rallying
to his support.
It doesn't look so good for Tammany. Safely in the White
House, Governor Roosevelt is beyond their-reach, and his suc
cessor at Albany has no great love for the Wigwam. The
Republican organiiation is in no mood to commit politioal hari
kari, by putting up a candidate to oppose Holy Joe, and thus
splitting the Tammany opposition.
o o o o a
SMALL wonder former Mayor Walker decided to retire from
publio life forever, and enjoy an, ocean trip to southern
Italy, with the eomely Betty Compson, duly chaperoned by her
mother, as a fellow passenger.
Jimmy may find permanent residence along the Italian
Riviera as welcome and salubrious, as Dick Crocker found the
environs of Dublin, Ireland, many yeara ago.
Direct Election of Presidents
AL SMITH favors the direct election of presidenta, and as
editor of the New Outlof k, predicts the new Democratic
adminiatration Trill seen 'his reform.
As an argument in .favor of this change. Mr. Smith points
to the undeniable truth, that under the present system of the
electoral college, a candidate opposed by a majority of the
American people, may be elected president.
In 1888, for example, Benjamin Harrison was elected over
Cleveland although he had fewer popular votes than the demo
cratio candidate) tha same thing happened in 1876 when Hayes
defeated Tilden j and of eourse in 1860, because of the three-way
split in the democratio party, Abraham Lincoln was elected
president, although only 1.866,452 voted for him and 2,815,617
against him,
S)
DUT there is another side to the picture. What would the
direot election of presidenta meant
It would mean that tha states eut of the Mississippi, with
their overwhelming population, would be able lo elect presi
dent over th united opposition of all the west and aouth.
In fact New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Massachusetts
could dictate who the president should be, whenever the resi
dents of those states felt disposed to do so.
Not a probable situation t Well, neither is the election of a
minority candidate probable, nor have thrj results of such elec
tions been particularly disastrous.
The electoral college is undoubtedly archaic and out of date.
But it was, and is, baaed upon the American system of checks
and balances. It follows the theory of the congress, that in the
lower house, states should be represented on the basis of popu
lation, but in the upper house, each state should have the same
representation regardlesa of its sire.
We have an idea that some compromise between the electoral
college and the direct election of a president, rather than going
over completely from the former to the latter, would best eon
form to our political traditions and the desires of ALL the
people.

I must see a man put hla toes In

A Word From Charles AY hillock
To the Editor:
Just to tell you what's new In Tele
vision and R ay -o-Via Ion.
Ray-o-Vlslon: Tou have been listen
ing to and reading the predictions of
radio authorities and engineers re
garding television in which they all
agree that It was a matter of several
years before we could expect satis
factory television Images, unless some
thing was developed (as the trite
saying goes) over night. '
Ray-o-Vlston Is this very something
which has been developed, not over
night, but represents the results of
several years work of a band of In
trepid engineers, who dared to de
part from the known theories and
accepted practices, and with the as
sistance of capitalists who had faith
In their theories and ability to ac
complish the desired results, have
developed a system whereby Images
In black and white rivaling the mo
tion pictures of today may be trans
mitted over the air and received In
the home.
This system known as Ray-o-Vlalon
only awalta ths endorsement of the
Federal Radio Commission to make
It the commercial television system
that will bring television to your
home nd make possible the broad
casting of vluual programs, and mske
every home a theatre In Itself.
One of the newest of features In
television If that It can be produc
ed In natural colors.
Some very Interesting prophesies
have been made by eminent Ameri
cans as to what television will mean
to the world when It becomes as
common as radio.

Blames It On Hoover
To the Editor:
In your editorial, "Beware Danger
Ahead!" you point out the need of
clear thinking. Tou bet, you are on
solid ground, but when you say that
the wallop Hoover got on the 8th
waa not a personal blow, but was
aimed at the partyaimed at an
abstraction of which H. H. Is the
personification the ground you stand
on Is not so solid.
The knockout might not have been
personal from the viewpoint of the
upper strata of society, but from the
lower bread base. It was pretty much.
If not entirely that. It is too bad
that the editor and WUI Rogers had
not mixed more with those suffering
most from the breakdown of our
capitalistic mode of production, dis
tribution and exchange. The mistake
perhaps would not have been made.
The feeling against Hoover would be
found hard, in many cases intenwly
so. And what could be more natural?
Have- we not been taught that
Washington was the father of our
country, Lincoln It's savior? and to
moat of ua at least. It therefore logi
cally folio -s that Hoover la the po
tential. If not the actual wrecker of
It? In the minds of the masses, (it
Is the opinion of the undersigned)
that the American phae of the world
depression la Inseparably linked up
with the fallen monarch and will be
for a l?''.g t'Tie to co-ne. IVit It In not

the poison, and send the patient

when other treatment Is used.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Foul Sweat
Several years ago I found that a
dally application of pur glycerin
would correct foul sweating of the
feet In a short time. Recently I have
cured the same trouble in the axillae
(armpits) by sponging two or three
times dally with borax solution. I
had previously found that such things
as compound cresol solution ' and
phenol were not effective. I conclude
that the condition is due to bacteria
which are most readily destroyed with
glycerin and borax but resist cresol.
(S. O. E., M. D.)
Answer We know that a red or yel
low color Is often Imparted to the
sweat by th growth of a harmless
bacterium, and It Is plausible enough
that the growth of some other bac
terium may produce foul odor. Borax
and glycerin should not be combined
In one mixture. Formaldehyde haa
proved widely aatlsfactory as a rem
edy for excessive sweating of the feet,
with or without marked odor. In
most instances It is sufficient to treat
the Insldes of ths shoes or a month
with a dilute solution. Send a stsmp
ed envelope bearing your address and
ask for Instruction by mall.
Chipped Enamel

See How Tires Have 'Grown Up'
Th amazing contrast between tiro
of today with those of th past bring
a smile to the face of Doris Ma Ru
dolph, of Akron. Th Fir ea tons tires
shown here, all for a light make of
car, art, left to right: Th Clincher
(with the first non-skid tread); th
Straight-Side: the Balloon: and tha
new Firestone Air Balloon.
"Bigger and better tires" haa been
th trend in the tire Industry. Th
wheel alze has constantly decreased
and the tlr six Increased to give
more air cushion and lower air pres
sures. Tou couldn't negotlste th
curves today on the old high pres
sure tires at modern speeds. At any
speed you would feel uncomfortable.
Th oversize straight side tires
brought considerable more comfort
than the old clincher. Then the bal

and safety. Now comes a big pillow

in Its performance.

The Burden of Excess Interest
Since the beginning of the depres-;
slon In 1939, we have been waiting
like timid and bewildered children
for a rescue party from the outside
to come and show us the way out.
Washington is a long way from Salem
and Medford. Within our own state
and county we must get on the Job
and through constructive effort af
fect a cure. The Job Is to get the
unemployed to work at something
w,orth while that will get them some
thing and some place white washing

home development and land settle

will find themselves busy with the
one job at which there will be an
ever Increasing demand for effective
exertion the Job of home develop
ment and land settlement.
In Article 1, I showed how taxes
on shelter are a direct burden on the
back of the poor man or man of
moderate means, equivalent to a five
per cent sales tax upon all his ex
penditures. We reduce this from five
per cent to l1 per cent by placing
a 2 per cent sales tax on the 75 per
cent of his expenditures, leaving a
poor man's shelter, for which the
other 25 per cent of his expenditures
go, exempt from state, county and
school taxes. In fact, a two per cent
general sales tax would reduce the
per cent of taxes a poor man now
pays on his expenditures 3 per cent.
