Several upstate papers predict that the coming unavoidable session of the legislature will "do nothing." Thle col, agrees, but further predicts, that the legislature will do that nothing well. Por months the welkin has rever berated at every street corner, with the demand that taxes be removed from property, incidentally the best argument in favor, came from those who have no property. It would be a mild Utopia, but according to the Oregon oVter, the following Ls what would happen: AU property-owners would have to do to escape all taxation In Oregon would ,e to cease their ' economic acttyltlee In Oregon and move out of the state to make their livings elsewhere. They could rent their Oregon property to anyone willing to rent It, subject to the liability of paying sales taxes, occupation taxes and Income taxes, but they themselves would not have to pay any tax whatsoever on their Ore gon property. The tax should be removed from property. Then each city could ap point a committee to find out why Oregon ls three Jumps behind Cali fornia, and four behind Washington. ... Ole Alenderfer has on exhibition an electrical card -shuffling contraption, that does not crimp the aces, or kick them off the bottom of the deck with Its little finger. Neither does the rig drop a card on the floor at the bridge game, and while picking It up look In the opponent's hand. The Invention also ls not equipped to kick the lady across the table on the ahtn, when she leads the wrong trey. The marvel should be a great help to weary bridge players, whose know ledge of the game Is confined to ihufiling. t Even with the easy formality that reigned In his circles, we do not re member anyone ever calling John Barleycorn "Jack." (Detroit News.) Or, Mr. Barloycorn, for that matter. Cong. Hawloy voted against repeal of the prohibition law Monday. He was cussed as freely locally as If he had been re-elected. WINTKR Winter seems to have arrived, and , nothing in a long time seems to hare been so unexpected, by a majority of the folks. It seems to have been a positive shock to O. Yens Tengwald. who had no Waa winter was either due or coming, Fletcher Stout, the p 11 list, was also taken unawares by King Winter. No telling how many other people there are hereabout upon whom Winter has sneaked, like a thief, upon the rear of a' parked auto, or a tractor left In the field. O. Von der Hellen desired to know: "Is it cold enough for you?" Last August he wanted to know: "Is It hot enough for you?" Now it will be necessary to hire a lawyer to find out which question to answer first. It Is alleged that the answer to both would be "Yes," or "no." Kvery win ter the tenderhearted have their sympathotlo emotions arouwt when they see a butcher at his butchering. The average, normal meathouse is only 4.T deg. from the North Pole. This causes the butcher to become so chilled, that his chances of being thawed out before Decoration Day are sltm, r.s there is no Eskimo blood In hts veins, and unlike the Eskimo, has no whale, seat or walrus fat to eat and keep warm. If a butcher does eut his thumb, the wound freezes up before he knows it. All the butchers regard the frigidity with placidity end do not look near as cold as L, Ulrlch. who runs around without any hat. We admire the heroism of both the butcher and Mr. Ulrlch, but fear the latter will contract the pneu monia first. Ample forests are handy for both. Now that winter is here, the out door girl appears In what the Ladles' Home Journal calls ' the nest and exuberance of the season." The out door girl can hardly wait until she can get outdoors and do some skiing, If she hi Lb a stump, she will be absent from the next seven dances. Skiing makes one graceful. If a akller Is awkward, he can knock himself and four other skllers down with one twist of the ankle. Another winter pert is skidding at the corners, In an auto, en route to the skiing.

In short in his last message to the letter a promise he made during the campaign. He ex plicitly declared that if he wore re-elected he would reduce federal expenditures by a billion dollars. His proposed econ omies exceed that tremendous sura. THERE is no doubt that in PrAsMnnt TTnnvAf unit liave, people behind him. But there is rIso no doubt that the pro gram as it stands will never be carried out. Whyt For the same reason lation is passed at every session that is, from the standpoint of, the country's welfare. Because while there are only minorities behind such legislation, those minorities are well organized and insistent. They are only op posed by a publio opinion that is unorganized, inarticulate, in nine cases out of ten, not even aware of what is going on, until the harm has been done. Federal employes! will be on cuts," veterans' organizations will be maintaining a barrage against losing anything that has been gained, districts affected by the eut in federal appropriations and elimination of public works, will have their representatives howling night and day, against such a "sacrifice." The pressure will be too much for any one man. Particularly when that one man has only a few months left in the White House, and less than five weeks political defeats in the oountry 's hiBtory. ..... PRESIDENT HOOVER'S recommendations are undoubtedly Bnnnrl anA doaiVnhlA TTnrl Jin TiAAn rA-AinptArl rliprfl wnillrl be a chance of getting most of them enacted into law. But while one will bear little opposition to this economy program on the part of senators and congressmen, economy is too popular with the people at the present time there will be precious little done in that direction during the present ses sion. It will be a case of much talk and little action. Genuine economy will have to wait for the incoming administration. Elect for SUCH a situation, not only emphasizes the need of passing that 20th amendment, doing away with lame-duck sessions; but also brings into sharp relief the desirability of electing our presidents FOR ONLY ONE TERM of let us say six years. What a tremendous advantage it would be to President-Elect Roosevelt for example, if he know on March 4th next he had six yeara of uninterrupted -service before him, and could not serve a aeoond term, even if he That would give him an independence, a freedom to do what ever he regarded as best for REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES, which would do more to promote good government in Washington, than anything we can imagine. WE have given the president of this country, tremendous nnwAi anr? rromAnrinua mannnsnViilitv Tint niir nrnnflnf. practice of making a second term mandatory, has rendered the administration of national affairs, free from partisan maneuver ing and political manipulation practically a physical impossi bility. More than that, it has so thwarted the proper functioning of that power and so increased that responsibility, that except for a man of peculiar fibre and Calvin Coolidge, a certificate of re-election is little short of a death warrant. nPHERE ii little doubt that had President Hoover been re- elected on November 8th last, he would never have survived his second torm. It is an open secret that a week before the oampaigo ended, a oomplete breakdown was feared. And it is also known, that while his defeat was a disappointment, the freedom from further personal responsibility which it brought, has In a short month, made President Hoover physically a "new man." A single term of six years, would not decrease the responsi bility, of course, but it would make it far easier to bear. It would not only take the president "out of polities," it would give the oountry what it so plainly needs, intelligent and ag gressive leadership based on what is best for the country and for ita people, REGARDLESS of what may be considered best for the party hacks, the party time servers, or the exigencies of the next election. Editorial Comment Mr, Roosevelt'i Art let ea President-elect Roosevelt has arti cles, under his own name, In recent Issues of the Cosmopolitan and Lib erty magaalnes. The articles are In themselves of little Importance so little Importance that the news ser vices mentioned them only casually. They are hastily rewritten versions of some of the parte of his campaign speeches. Nevertheless, at a time when Mr. Roosevelt has become the chosen representative of all the people for the highest position In the gift of the nation, he has sold to a couple of magaalnes with limited circulation the promises he has made to the country as a whole. These promises have been copyrighted. It does seem a little blrarre and rather o- .nous After all, Mr. Roose velt now belongs to the country at large. The voters overwhelmingly name! him as their prophet to lead them out of the dark economic val ley, and It would seem to us that even though he has not yet assumed the presidential chair his utterances on public questions should be di rectly to t,V people and free to all. They should not be sold for the lim His Promise ne urges me cuuhuuuhuvu v. agencies j a further reduction a reduction in federal appro dollars; of expenditures for President Hoover carries out this program of rigid economy, a vacf mciinririr nt tha Amorlnnn that so much undesirable legis of the congress.

In times of prosperity it possibly would not matter, but nqw the case Is different. Upon the policies of Mr. Roosevelt depend the happiness and even the lives of millions of people. These policies we repeat, should be announced directly to the waiting nation. Mr. Roosevelt has been employed In the service of a troubled people and what he has to say should be said to them.

He had been going to write me a half dozen times (he aays) and compliment me on my wonderful column. It really should be on the first page every day, sex he. Isn't It the truth? We are all elated when anybody writes or says anything we think Is so. Look at this Jersey man and me, for Instance. Listen to the man go on: "The writer Is not a doctor, Just an ordinary dumbbell, but I am tickled to death to find that my Ideas on health so nearly co incide with your own." What did I tell you? "Am 43 and have all teeth ex cept two. I brush them once a day with a little salt ..." Which ls perfectly harmless, I sup pose, but why bring up these trlvt altles of toilet now? Doss the man wash behind his ears every Saturday night? "I never bother with gargles or antiseptics ..." Well, now, that seems careless of the man. One who so religiously cleans his teeth every day must have a dirty feeling, I should think, If he omits to rinse or swab out his ton sils regularly. Think of all the food debris, mouth, nose or throat film, . AOterla and everything that must accumulate In the crypts or between folds of mucous membrane there 1 "And when I sneeze I never Imagine It ls a 'cold' but merely nature's method of freeing my nose or throat of germ or other irritants, so I Just sneeze and enjoy it, outdoors If possible." That's better. One should get much the same satisfaction out of a sneeze that one gets from a good stretch and yawn. Don't suppress It. Enjoy It. Only possible objection to hearty sneezing Js Indulgence In open face sneezing whlen other persons are within range. Instead of sanitary ordinances prohibiting spitting, there should be one making It a misde meanor for any person to perpetrate an uncovered sneeze within 13 feet of another person. "Have raised five healthy kids on the theory that the more you resort to so-called scientific aid the more you lose that natural protective power of the body only I hope you'll excuse me, Doc, I always think of It as resistance."

The old timers Who still preach these "precautions" constantly reiterate that their funny notions are "scientific." "I can trot a mile at easy pace. I en swim two miles. I can walk 25 miles In a day. I don't Just think I can do these things; I do them." Any man of 40 ought to be able to run a mile at his own speed. Most men of 50 can't do it, but a lot who haven't tried Imagine they could do It if they cared to try. It ls a fine test for any man of SO to find a place In the sun somewhere and measure off a mile and make a for mal attempt to Jog-trot the distance some day. If he falls down and goes puff-purr or wheeze-wheeze short of the half-mile post, let him finish In a walk, as befits a broken down old gentleman, but In the course of that walk let him firmly resolve (a) to call on his family physician for an overhauling, and if he passes that (b) to enter upon an earnest sched ule of regeneration or rejuvenation, with special emphasis on eating hab its and dally exercise, training.

Although such action should have occurred some time ago If sup ply and demand had been followed. Previous manipulation of the mar ket which carried values to the 30c mark for extras, was not at all Justi fied by either supply or demand on the open market, a survey shows. The price of butterfat was reduced openly 3o lb. but secretly is down only 2c In spots. Farther shading of local egg prlcee is reflected here although no open cuts are confirmed by the Pacific Co ops. Recent less in New York has caused fo.b. buyers to reduce their bids here. There ls practically no demand whatever for live spring chickens and receivers are asking that the country cease shipment until a market can be found. Hem are holding up fairly well. With fowls way dewn and with country killed meats in liberal offer ing, the latter are Inclined to show generally reduced values along the wholesale way. Veal especially. Washington apple growers who are organized, are trying to capture what remains of the market for Oregon fruit even In the home territory. The Washington growers oave prepared considerable advertising to take the Oregon business. Oregon growers are not advertising. EGG PRICES DUE PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 7. (AP) That outside interests were sacrific ing egga when there was no Justifi cation for such movement was the statement of trade leaders today. Ac cording to E. J. Dixon, general mana ger of the Pacific Co-ops, his or ganization was not meeting the low prices named on eggs by outsiders and he believed that an upward swing in values was very likely soon. "There is a scant supply of eggs in storage,' he said, "and If we have any winter whatever, prices are sure to respond. In the meantime, we are keeping our feet on the ground and trying to protect our membership." Wall St. Report Stock Sales Averages (Copyright, 1032, Standard Statistics Co.)

By HERBERT PLUMMER, WASHINGTON In the cold gray dawn, now a fortnight or so after the elections that brought such a smash ing Democratic victory, what must be the feelings' and reflections of the key man In the Republican party? What must the president himself think? His only public comment was made In the brief speech at Glendale, Calif., en route to Washington, when he sounded the call for a "militant" organization not reorganisation of the Republican ranks up ana down the llfte. The president's most Intimate friends, who have seen him Informally since his return to the White House, profess to have discovered tn htm a new Herbert Hoover or at least a Hooyer not known for many, many months. He is a cheerful man, they say, freer from care than he has been for many a day, yet seriously con cernlng himself with the continuing problems of the presidency. A Tonic. The fact that his responsibilities are so soon to end has had a tonic effect on him, they add, and revived the Hoover sense of humor so well known In private to his Intimates, yet so utterly unknown in the public view of the president. On one party stalwart, who told him consolingly -to forget 1932 and look forward to triumphant vindica tion and election in 1036, he turned a comically scowling glance and said: "And you call yourself my friend I" What are the thoughts of Henry L. Stlmson, and what la he going to do with Woodley, that imposing es tate of his in the heart of the capi tal's most exclusive residential sec tion? What does Ogden Mills think, and also what does he think of the pos sibilities of gathering the fragments between now and 1036 to assemble a republican nomination boom for him at that tlme7 With Mills and James Wadsworth now warring for the leadership of the party in New York, republican politics in that state la booming at what some considered greater speed than even before the election. What About Hurley? And what does Pat Hurley, who made such a furious aerial campaign tor the president, think? Hurley, young, ambitious and alert, will be at loose ends after March 4 with new connections to make, either in public or commercial life. He has shown no Indication of quitting Washington, where he has spent most of his adult life. 5-FOLD PROGRAM FOR FARM RELIEF (Continued iiotn Page One) "1. Hastening business recovery tn thie United States, thereby increasing returns from products sold in the domestic market. "2. Steps to initiate recovery In international trade, thereby strength ening foreign demand for export products. "3. Readjustment of taxes, inter est, and principal payments, freight rates and other fixed charges which enter into the farmer's expenses nd now abnormally depress the share which he receives of xhe final retail price. "4. Further strengthening and ex panding of cooperative organization to reduce the expanses of marketing and Increase the producer's share of the consumer's dollar. "5. Efforts, through cooperative marketing asoclations or in other ways, to secure a better adjustment between the quantities produced and the needs of the market," Stabilization Not Enough. Explaining that to "help raise the level of farm incomes, devices other than stabilization are required," the report on legislation added: "In the light of the experience with stabilization over the past three years, that board recommends that any new le;,!-'atlon be based on the following tr? prlncples. which have been dem onstrated by experience to be essen tial for effective relief: "1. Prices can not be raised un less sonwone pays the cost. The plan must be self-sustaining, with a con tinuous method of covering the costs. "Prices of other products are now 40 per cont above the prices at which farm products are selling. If the new method raised prices to domestic consumers to the level of prices of other commodities, fhat would not be giving farmers an unfair advantage. "2. Prices can not be kept at fair levels unless production ls adjusted to meet market demands. Many farm products are now being produced In quantities in excess of those which the market will take. Higher prices, without regulation of production, would stimulate still more overpro duction. Arrrar Regulation Needed. "Any method which provided high er prices and did not Include effec tive regulntlon of acreage or of quan tities sold, or both, would tend to Increase the present surpluses and soon break down as a result. "To be of a lasting help, any plan must provide a system of effective regulation, so that our millions ct farmers can pflan and adjust their production on a dependable basis, instead of competing blindly with each other," Flight 'o Time (Mediard oa jcod count: HUtorj from lb File, at TH MU1 Trlbon el na 10 er .Co.)
