and degradation, we jumped into national prohibition, overnight
as it wore. The evils of the second extreme, almost equalled the
evils of the first.
Now every effort is being made to stampede congressmen
into swinging back where we were, legalizing light wines and
beers, by nullification of the constitution, without making any
adequate provision against the establishment of wine and beer
saloons.
Even the Crusaders, a national organization opposed to pro
hibition, officially opposes such drastic reaction at this time.
But everything indicates it will take a hard fight to prevent it.
No half way measures for Uncle Sam. He smashes wildly

His progress resembles that of a
The only consolation is that the net graph of these extremes
does represent progress. The pity is that progress could not'
be nearer a straight line, the middle of the road instead of
from one ditch to the other, with a MINIMUM advance in be

Rally Versus Rout
a '
IT'S the same in the economic war we are now fighting. . Only
a few years ago, as individuals and as communities we were
spending money like' a lot of drunken sailors. Innumerable
warnings were given. But we, as a people refused, to pay any
attention to them. On we went regardless and rejoicing, until
we ran head-on into the smash-up, that sober minds predicted.
Whereupon, ever true to type, we proceeded like a lot of panic
stricken sheep, to stampede in the opposite direction. And it is
in that opposite direotion we are now rushing.
The popular demand for lower taxes and greater economies
is now as extreme, as the popular demand for higher taxes and
greater expenditures were three or four years ago. We have
no patience with any middle ground. We are not content with
an orderly retreat and a stubborn rear-guard aotion. We insist
upon throwing our guns away, and beating it willy-nilly for
the rear. What might have been a minor reverse, we insist
upon making a major disaster; yielding to our emotional insta
bility, we translate a beating, into a rout.
Why Kill the Goose? ;
' :
rPE recommendation of Henry M. Hanzen, state) budget direc
tor, that all extension work of the state college. and all
experiment stations be abandoned is a case in point.
It is air a part of the general
render to panic and fear; an insistence, disasterous as it is
absurd, of going from one extreme to the other.
THE fruit business is not ruined any more than any other
T.KOTTTMATV. hnninpna i mined. Everv business is suffer
ing, suffering desperately. Undoubtedly many of the weaker
units will be unable to survive. But horticulture is not going
to disappear any more than agriculture or manufacturing is
going to disappear, or for that matter any more than the
U. S. A. is going to disappear.
We are in that, midst of a devastating war. We are fighting
the forces of eoonomio destruction on every front. Of all times
this is NOT the time to throw away our guns and beat it for the
.-ear. It IS the time to retreat
best possible morale, to fight a
then when the turn that is bound to come sooner or later, DOES
COME, drop the defensive for an offensive, and turn defeat
into viotory again. - .
THAT IS THE SPIRIT THAT SHOULD BE UPHELD AT
THE PRESENT TIME, NOT
NOT ONLY HERE, BUT EVERYWHERE ELSE.
e e a
DEDUCING the expenditures of these stations, to the lowest
point consistent with their retention and restricted opera
tion does not appeal. Neither does eliminating certain efforts
which are NOT -essential, and retaining those, which from the
standpoint of our agricultural and horticultural welfare, ARE,
essential.
Director Hanzen is fur throwing away the guns of experi
mentation and constructive research entirely, and beating it,
pell mell for the rear.
COME of our local orohardists apparently have a similar idea.
Because of the disasterous frm. season just closed, an
inevitable result of the complete collapse of normal purchasing
power they are for throwing up the fruit business entirely.
They talk about it being sunk, 0ONE. They refuse to remem
ber that similar reverses have been experienced before and have
been suooessfully survived; they refuse to look over the aver
ages of orchard operations, during a period of ten or fifteen
years, which have been PROFITABLE averages.
Only a few days ago, a local orohardist talked to the present
writer like a wild man, seriously advocating turning pear orch
ards into wheat fieldi and dairy farms, overnight. ABSURD I
So abandoning all the state research and experimentation
work at the present time is equally absurd. It would be abdi
cating completely to that Bame defeatist spirit.
The material welfare of this state, and particularly of South
ern Oregon rests SQUARELY upon our agriculture and horti
culture. And the growth and permanent prosperity of these
basio industies, rests just as squarely upon supplying the market
with a SUFERIOR product; which in turn rests'ypon the con
tinuation of the extension and experimentation work now being
done, adopting the most up to date and enlightened methods

FORTUNATELY Director Hanzen can't himself carry out the
recommendations he proposes. Final decision will rest with
the state legislature. We don't deny for a moment that every
legitimate economy is necessary at this time, that the state must
cut the corners financially just as drastically as every individual
and every industry must and have.
But we do deny that abandoning extension and experimenta
tion work ENTIRELY is either necessary or advisable.. And we
feel confident that when the members of the legisV.ur? pt

knees together. It
la sufficient to
put lifts on the
Inner borders of
soles and heels of
the shoes, to raise
the feet up along
the Inner border
and throw the weight upon the outer
borders of the feet. These lifts should
be only -Inch thick. The normal,
strong position of the feet In stand
ing or walking la always rather that
of the bow-legged type. A bow-legged
person walks on the outer bor
ders of the feet.
Another help In correcting moder
ate knock-knee In childhood Is toe
ing In. The child should be taught
to toe In when standing or walking
or running, and never permitted to
toe out, sitting, standing or walking.
For either bow-leg or knock-knee
In childhood all forms of outdoor ez
erclM or play are beneficial, particu
larly bicycle, velocipede or puah mo
bile riding, pony riding, hop and
skip, skip the rope, all games In
which the child runs or dodges about,
and all forms of dancing. The ad
monition about toeing in holds for all
these exercises, especially for knock
knee. It Is leas needed where the
condition Is bow-legged ness.
Knock-knee la s. manifestation of
rickets In most cases, though in mod
ern cases as above mentioned, the
deformity is merely a static one, like
pronated feet ("weak ankles") or fall
ing arches. Plenty of exposure of the
naked skin to direct sunlight, and
an adequate vitamin D ration (cod
liver oil, yolk of egg, fresh milk, but
ter, cream) In the first year of life,
therefore tend to prevent knock-knee.
Everything said about knock-knee
applies as well to bow-leg, except the.
fitting of lifts on the shoes. .
Suitable braces, fitted and applied
and constantly supervised by the
physician, are a help In the correc
tion of many cases of knock-knee
and bow-leg in young children. It
la futile, however, to expect any ap
pliance or mechanical contrivance to
alter the shape of the bones In the
legs after the age of six years. .Noth
ing short of an operation on the bent
bone or bones will correct knock
knee or bow-leg In a person over six
years, of age. If any brace or gadget
would or could remedy suoh deform
ities la persons over the age of six
years, physicians, I mean reputable
physicians, would be happy to rec
ommend or use them. No good doc

LONDON. (P) English pub"
keepers have opened a heavy offen
sive "gainst the thousands of legal
ised gambling clubs which hsve
spread over the nation like dande
Ions In spring.
The reason Is the Intense compe
tition which the club bars offer the
public houses.
To serve beer and whiskey the
puba" must pay heavy license fees
and maintain certain standards of
sanitation and service.
The betting clubs, which make use
of the parl-mutuel system, are or
ganised under the club regulations,
escape the heavy tax, and figure on
making most of their money out of
the betting.
Many of the clubs are operated In
chains, and one system of 90 clubs
Is sa'd to cater to more than 100,000
perser.fl daily.
Betting Is permitted on horse races
and dog races and 60 per cent of the
bettors In some suburbs are said to
be women.
Beta run as low as 96 cents, and
one may gamble from the first after
noon horse race to the last night dog
race.
In .poorer sections the membership
fee li a shilling or less thsn 30 cents.
In the swanky west end the chibs
are bigger and so are the beta. One
club there covers an acre and can
handle more than 600 "members.
The clubs are popular not alone
in London and Its msny suburbs, but

arose when an unlicensed practition

by his crude bungling caused the loss
of the victim's legs, should not deter
anybody from seeking surgical relief
for such deformity; it should merely
emphasize the importance of making

take such a large volume of fluid food
dally. Seven quarts of milk would
yield 4,660 ' calories, sufficient to

(Continue, now rage one)
that any young man who renders
military service to his country should
thereby feel entitled to a reward for
such duty, then It seems to me we
are undermining the very foundation
of rood cttlEenshlp and proper selr
respect.
"To a veteran who comes unscath
ed ' through a war, the government
owes It gratitude for his patriotism.
but until the time comes In his life
when age or disablement makes It lm
possible for him to support himself,
the government. In my opinion, owes
such veteran no more than It owea
any other loyal dtleen."
Referring to hospitalisation, Hlnes
said that If beds remained available
after those disabled in service had
been cared for, they should be used
for all other veterans "unable to pro
vide hospital care and treatment for
themselves."
nrwpltal Peak In IDAS.
As the laws now stand, Hlnes said,
a peak hospital load of 81.000 pa
tients would be reached In 1988,
against 85.000 beds now avstlable, ad
ding that 26,000 additional would be
needed unless the laws are changed.
"Many new benefits have been sug
gested by veterans organizations ttr
the consideration of congress, the
adoption of which would Increase the
annual budget for veterans' relief
considerably more. Htnes continued.
"If tnequalltlea and Inconsistencies

The chief executive told congress
he would make no attempt to cal
culate ths total savlnga that might
be expected from his plan. He
pointed out, however, that the total
appropriations for the agencies con
cerned 1 approximately S700.000.000.
Sees Difficulties
Difficulties In having his proposals
accepted already have been foreseen
by Mr. Hoover. In bis regular an.
nual message submitted Isst Tues
day, he said:
"The congress must be warned that
a host of Interested persons inside
and outside the government whose
vision Is concentrated on some par.
tlcular function will at once protest
against these proposals. These same
sort of activities have prevented re
organization of the government for
over a quarter of a century. They
must be disregarded If the task Is to
be accomplished.
In his message todsy, In addition
to outlining tfte proposed 68 shifts
of agencies, the president disclosed
that he has still further consolida
tions In mind for the army and navy,
and plans to submit more executive
orders In the future.
Proposals Listed
As an Illustration of his present
plan, here are some of. the organi
zations and functions Mr. Hoover
proposes to consolidate under the as
sistant secretary of commerce for
merchant marine:
The United States shipping board
merchant fleet corporation, now an
Independent agency; the Inland
waterways corporation of the war de
partment; the bureau of lighthouses
of the department of commerce; the
naval observatory of the navy'a bu
reau of navigation; the coast and
geodetic survey; the hydrographlc of.
flee of the bureau of navigation; the
survey of northern and northwestern
lakes of the war department; the
bureau of navigation and steamboat
Inspection; the supervisor of New
York harbor, now under the army
engineers.
Some of the agencies that would
come under tfte new assistant secre
tary of the interior for education,
public health and recreation would
Include the Interior department's of.
flee of. education, the public health
service of the treasury department,
the national park service of the in
terior department, the national parks,
cemeteries and monuments now un
der the war department, the bureau
of Indian affairs and the census bu
reau's division of vital statistics.
One Head for Institutions
In addition, various Institutions
such a Howard university, negro
college and St. Elizabeth hospital, an
institution for the insane In Wash
Ington, the Columbian Institution
for the deaf and others would be
grouped under the same authorltv.
Under the assistant secretary for
public works would come such agen
cies aa the bureau of reclamation.
the . geological survey, the office of
the supervising orchltect of the tress'
ury, the bureau of public roads, va.
rlous bridge, park and monument
commissions, and such agencies un
der the war department as the Mis.
slaslppi river commission, and the
California debris commission.
In addition, such non-mllltarv ac
tlvltlea of the army engineers as
river and harbor and flood control
work, the Joint board of engineers
for river and harbors and the lnter
oceanlc canal board would come un
der the same authority.
In his executive order providing
for such chsnges, the president said
"Commissioned officers of the corps
u engineers, united States armv.
shall continue to be detailed bv
the secretary of war upon request
of the secretary of the Interior for
work on rivers and harbors oroiecti'
