Repeal First; Beer After
IN favoring a vote on repeal
Garner u at least attacking
right way.
The 18th amendment was designed to prevent the manufac
ture and sale of alcoholio liquors.
Legalizing beer, would legalize alcoholio liquor, for unless
It is sufficiently alcoholio to have a kick, no one wants it.
Passing the beer bill first, therefore, would amount to nulli
fication of the constitution, and would also let down the bars
to a flood of beers and light wines, before any procedure had
been adopted to properly control it,
BAD BUSINESS ALL AROUND.
sees
FAR better to go after the 18th amendment DIRECTLY AND
HONESTLY at the outset. It is doubtful if a more favor
able time for repeal, will ever be enjoyed, than the immediate
present.
With Prohibition repealed, and some definite program of
liquor regulation set up, BEFORE that repeal becomes effective,
then all right thinking citizens could join behind a program
which would prevent the return of the saloon on one hand, and
destroy the illicit liquor and organized vice ring on the other.
This is the right way of going about it. Legalizing light
wines and beers first and then trying to repeal the 18th amend
ment afterward is the wrong way.
We suggest those members of congress who believe other
wise, read over that unjustly abused, and too much neglected,
Wickersham report; Unless we are greatly mistaken, every
member of the committee, wet and dry, agreed that legalizing
light wines and beers before repeal, would make conditions
worse instead of better; and probably make repeal' impossible
for at least another generation.
How About Russia?
A PPARENTLY there is one bogey man that has disappeared
from the horizon of American business. That is the bogey
man of Soviet Russia competition.
For several years, there has been a general impression that
when the Five Year Plan really started to function, Russia
would make Uncle Sam look like the proverbial 30 cents.
Russia was supposed to have "everything" in the way of
undeveloped natural resources. All it needed to outshine the
capitalistic world was the proper development of the resources,
whioh the 5 year plan, assisted by American engineering and
technical skill, was supposed to supply.
DUT now comes Isaao Don Levine, himself a Russian, and
author of "Stalin," with a new book called "Red Smoke"
which if true, knocks this grandiose Soviet claim into a cocked
hat, and reveals all this Russian talk, as the flimsiest political
propoganda,' to keep Stalin in office, and when he gets out,
the so-called 5 year plan will tumble like a house of cards.
The trouble with Russia, it seems, is it HASN'T everything.
In fact compared with the United States it has nothnig at least
nothing but land and man power. ' ,
It hasn't as much ooal as the state of Wyoming. It has
timber, but the tracts are so isolated, and transportation bo
poor. that its timber can't be economically utilized. It has oil,
but its oil InndB are unfavorably located and even its potential
supply does not equal the known oil resources of the United
States. How about water power Practically none, Russia is
predominately a flat country j its annual water power capacity
is .only four-tenths of one percent of the world total compared
to 7 percent for the United States.
Transportation! Russian railroads are woefully inadequate
and in need of repair, while when the five year plan is com
pleted Russia will have only 20,000 miles of surfaced roads,
while the United States has 700,000 and built 50,000 miles in
1931 alone.
And so on and so forth, all to the same effect. Here is the
author's conclusion:
"Fundamentally then Russia's poverty springs from the
poverty of her soil and of her mineral wealth, her inland charac
ter, her segregation from the commercial highways of the world,
the vast distances between her interior aha the few harbors she
possesses, and the huge uninhabitable areas she covers. Her
outstanding source of energy is man povrer. ?aan power with
out mineral power condemns Russia to .remain an agricultural
country with a declining standard of living as long as her birth
rate continues to rise. Any talk of 87 oontest between America
and Russia such as Moscow indulges in is bound to remain a
farce."
At tha Main street oroaatng of the
Southern Pacific railroad, where there
haa been a flagman on duty for more
than 30 yeara, according to former
city officiate, there will be no flag
man today, George Zldera, who ha
held that position for the past two
years, announoed last night.
Mr. Zldera completed his work with
tha company last night, and aa tar
aa could be learned then, no one haa
been assigned to the job. While the
belief seemed general about th city
that tha railroad had at some time
entered an agreement with th city of
Medford whereby a flagman would be
maintained at the Main atrset cross
ing, no record of th agreement waa
reported by City Recorder M. L. Al
ford. The number of trains passing over
tha crossing haa decreased during the
past few year; and the automobile
traffic, which used to constitute an
Important problem, haa also been
greatly lessened durliut the paat year.
No Information regarding tha situa
tion could be obtained from local
Southern Paclflo representstlves last
night.
Mr. Zlders stated that ha knew
nothing of th future plana of the
company and that ha was Intending
to leave tor Portland soon. Ha has

cific for th past 84 yeara.

FATE OP THE PU LPLESS TOOTH.
In a recent Issue of th Illinois
Dental Journal, official organ of the
Illinois Dental society, Dr. J, p. Buck
ley, Hollywood
dentist, points
out that It la In.
correct to con
sider a tooth
from which the
pulp has been re
moved "dead" or
"nonvltal" or "de
vitalized." A dead
tooth In the Jaw
would not be tol
erated by nature
and would aoon be exfoliated. The
author goes on to explain. In techni
cal language, that tha dental pulp
(wnicn i neileva the laity calls the
"nerve") Is the tissue from which
the dentin or mstn bone-llka part
of the tooth Is formed, and that the
pulp disappears In old age and the
space It formerly occupied becomes
fined with secondary dentin. Tet
the tooth la still alive, being nour
ished from the tissues surrounding
It and not from tha pulp.
All aa clear aa mud, Isn't It? Never
mind. The essential Idea la that the
pulpless tooth, the tooth In which
the "nerve" has been "killed" or de
stroyed by Injury or by Infection, the
tooth with root canal filling, la not
necessarily a foreign body, a dead
thing, a menace to health. In many
Instance It la not only Inoffensive,
but useful, perhaps for the support
of some bridge or other denture or
for the maintenance of good position
or occlusion of tha rest of the teeth,
or for mastication.
Dr. Buckley asserts that root canal
work, good work, requires no more
skill than la required for almost every
operation the dentist la called upon
to perform. To that I aay Amen
I mean, boo-oo to the Idea that one
must go to a specialist for root canal
filling or treatment.
Dr. Buckley further asserts that the
tooth with Infection of the pulp (gan
grene or abscess) seldom requires
more than three treatments over a
period of a week, for complete heal
ing and ftnlshd tilling. He goea fur
ther and says that prolonged treat
ments are absolutely contralndlcated
and rather Increase Irritation and
do harm. If tha case can't be fin
ished in a week or ao. It la-better to
extract the tooth and be done with
It.
On the other hand, many leading
dentists believe pulpless teeth are
quite commonly a potential source
of chronic 111 health. They main
tain that Infection of such pulpless
teeth Is not definitely shown by X-ray
pictures, but Is Insidious and may
take years to become evident. They

Subsistence and Requirements and
Excess Expenditures
Moat political economists writing
on expenditures and commodities
have arrived at tha same conclusion.
Th's conclusion la summed up In
Harold Hunter'a book, Economlo De
termination, aa follows: "THERE IS
LITTLE RELATION B2VEEN WHAT
A MAN SPENDS AND HIS ABILITY
TO BEAR BURDENS OP TAX
ATION."
I canot agree with thla conclu
sion. Since these essaya were writ
ten a great deal of water haa gone
under tha bridge. Sometimes dur
ing flood waters, a great deal of
water goea under the bridge In a very
short time. Thla Is a time of flood
water. We have become a nation of
spenders, necessarily so, if we are to
use up the products of our machine
and Industry. We are no longer told
to "aklmp and save." we are told
to spend and have taken that advice
literally. Each of us should apend
according to our ability to spend,
that la all we have to apend. I have
found for aom tlma past been con
vinced that soma place along thla
great shopping tour a point la reach

4 PER CENT BEER
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 36. TAP) Au
guat A. Busch, a prominent St.
Louis brewer. In a letter today to
members of congress, urged legalisa
tion of beer at least 4 per cent al
cohol by volum. -
"Any product under four per cent
will fall to be accorded that re
sponse necessary to again popular-

It la notable, however, that tha

"dead" teeth. One such dentist who

advise patients that he- himself baa

What is one to do about a pulp

ANOTHER APPEAL
FOR CLOTHES FOR
Undaunted by the failure of their
first attempt to bring in clothing
for the welfare clothing shop, mem
bers of the women's division of the
Jackson county council for relief of
the unemployed, announced yester
day that they will conduct another
drive Wednesday, November 30, and
that If three big strong men come
In again with an empty truck, door
bells are going to be rung.
"And rung and rung," Miss Helen
Carlton, chairman of the committee,
chimed In as "north of Main from
Fir street to the city' line" waa de
cided upon aa the territory to be
visited thla week.
All persons with clothing of any
kind to be donated to the Wel
fare Exchange are asked to have
the bundlea on their front porches
Wednesday, when the men will call.
No long facea will be needed, but
a lot of shoes and stockings and
anything else that's wearable. Is the
announcement. There were plenty
of the former last week when three
volunteer membera of ' the unem
ployed returned to headquarters In
their truck with two packages, gath
ered In the south end of town. They
expressed the wish that they had
taken a toy wagon Instead of the
truck and the welfare workers,
awaiting their return, had a fit of
hysterica and decided that "try, try
again" la still a good Idea.
The people .had either forgotten
the day or didn't remember to put
things on the porch, the committee
stated yesterday, so If things aren't
on the porches when the workers
call next Wednesday In the north
end of the city, door bells will be
rung, for the workers feel sure that
most everyone In town has some
thing to give to the Welfare Ex
change. Scraps to be made Into quilts are
also wanted at the Welfare Ex
change aa the demand for materials
with which to work Is constantly
on the Increase In the work room.
The aim of the welfare shop is to
give people materials which they
need and a chance to work for the
same. It does not encourage a dole
system.
Anyone In the south end of the
city who has something to give and
forgot to leave the package on the
front door step last week Is asked

The toy trains are finer than ever
and their systems of trackage so
complicated that their fascination la
irresistible to the adult. The autoa
are as elaborately equipped as the
costly gasoline engines after which,
they are modeled. And the trains
and autos likewise are cheaper.
Aviation does not inspire so many
toya this year, but the ones on dis
play are far superior. Dolls are more
versatile and an Interesting experl
ment Is being made with rubber
bodies. This makes them more life
like, the makers explain; also, it la
claimed, they don't break. Doll ward
robes are as extensive as the 1932
debutante's.
AS
'STALKING HORSE'
BY LEGION HEAD
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 26. (AP)
Louis A. Johnson, national com
mander of the American Legion, la
an address here tonight In which
he urged continuation of veterans
appropriations, spoke of Rear Ad
miral Richard E. Byrd as "unwit
tingly and unintentionally" tha
"stalking horse for the one person
out of 3,000 of our population who
is against the veterans of America."
Commander Johnson described the
legion as "a spontaneous thing, born
with the sound of battle ringing In
our ears," and said "the first love,
the first obligation and duty of the
American Legion Is rehabilitation.
He epoke of "an organized crowd
of clever opponents who are not dis
interested In relieving themselves of
the responslblity of taxation," and
charged that they "misrepresent
facts deliberately, they are inciting
class against class."
Johnson cited figures to show that
federal tax burdens are not so heavy
and .have not Increased In the same
manner as state and local taxes. He
further argued that the chief bur
den of federal taxes, from which
veterans' appropriations come, is
borne by a comparatively small
group In the larger Income classes.
"For each dollar paid by the larg
er group of federal Income taxpay
ers," he said, "$330 Is paid by the
smaller group with the bigger in
comes and that Is where the fight
against the veterans comes, from the
one per cent of the three snd one
third per cent of our population, or
approximately one person out of
3.000 of our entire population."
