Oregon would ,e to cease their

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

The tax should be removed from
property. Then each city could ap

But while one will bear little opposition to this economy
program on the part of senators and congressmen, economy

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.

Roosevelt for example, if he know on March 4th next he had
six yeara of uninterrupted -service before him, and could not

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.

Mr, Roosevelt'i Art let ea
President-elect Roosevelt has arti

little Importance that the news ser

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.

A MAN WHO CAN BUN A MILE
It's our New Jersey reader. 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."

I understand, what our Jersey reader
means: Such "precautions ' as avoid-

CUBE BUHER CUT
TWO CENTS AFTER
L
PORTLAND, re., Deo. 7 (AP) Out
of So In the price of cube butter on
the produce exchange here for the
late session was not exactly a sur
prise. 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."

DESPITE DEFEAT.
F
Near Ending of Responsibil
ities Like Tonic For Presi
dent Course of Party
Aides Remain Hidden.
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,"

PUPPET SHOW AT
In order that many Medford chll
dren who are in great need of aid
may have at least one hot meal a day
to help them through the wintry
days at school, the Parent-Teacher
association of Medford urges a large
attendance tomorrow at the showing
at the junior high school of the
Hollywood Marionettes.
The show, which will be presented
afternoon and evening, ls a benefit
affair and each adult ticket sold will
furnish hot soup for one week to a
Medford child.
A portion of the proceeds from the
Marionette show will also be used to
add equipment to the school kitchens
where there is a great shortage f
soup bowls anu spoons.
Schools of the city are furnishing
soup to a large number of children.
At the Washington school alone, the
number has grown to 26 who are
given soup each noon through the
program of the Parent-Teacher asso
ciation. The project, one of the most wor
thy and necessary carried on in the
city, Is expected to draw the support
of all thinking people and, since this
support can be given in a very pleas
ant way through attending the Mari
onette show sponsored by the Parent
Teacher association, a large crowd ls
anticipated tomorrow.
Through all times of stress, down
through the years, American citizens
have made it their job to keep the
children from suffering acutely, and
members of the Parent-Teacher as
sociation feel sure that in this same
spirit Medford citizens will come to
their aid In this move to bring a
warm lunch to every needy child in
school.
By patronizing the Marionette
show Vie public will also enjoy a
very clever bit of enteralnment, aft
ernoon and evening. The cast In
cludes lifelike pupptes of many of
the leading stars of the motion pic
ture world and the plays chosen for
presenatlon are particularly appro
priate to the stars.
Many good seats are still available
for the matinee. "Cinderlla." the
world's favorite fairy tale, will be the
play of the afternoon and "The Lost
Adams Diggin's" the show of the eve
