OLIVER
Oliver Cromwell, of which there
seems to be a local edition, waa ft
pretty fair hellralser himself. He war:
"lord protector" of England, and led
the "Orand Remonstrance" In 1841.
Oliver fought the taxes and Satan,
at the same time, either one being a
worthy foe. As a result of his activ
ities King Charles I of England had
bla head chopped off, according to
history. He waa busy In the "Long
Parliament," the "Short Parliament,"
and the "Rump Parliament." The
latter la the great-great-greet-great-great-great
uncle of the late "Rum
pus Parliament" on the courthouse
iawn. He la described by Clarendon.
English historian, aa "a brave, bad
man, with all the wlckedneaa against
whloh damnation la pronounced, and
for which hell tire la prepared." There
waa no mean district attorney tn
those daya to get mad at, so Mr.
Cromwell got after the Lords. He
made all of hla frlende major-generala
and arrested people for not paying
tnelr taxes, though hla own were not
paid. He also liked to get drank, and
was a great hand to quote tbe Scrip
tures end not mean a word of It aa
do hla delualoned Imitators today,
Hla leading Imitator in America waa
William Jennings Bryan. That la why
he waa called the "Great Commoner."
History also recorda that Cromwell
died "in deep remorse, for hi deed."

we can discover. Judgfcg from reports there is none in Med

there was a fight over bridge last night in this hotel. People

shooting his stuff, which pleases
about what the ranchers think
. Fred Cowles has a scheme
Instead of spending millions for a farm board he would form a
national selling organization with branches in every agricultural
center. These various brunches would receive a chart from
headquarters what should be raised in tbat particular district,
so much wheat, so much corn, so many boxes of pears or apples
as .the case might be. These amounts would be based upon
actual consumption, and a price giving the grower a reasonable
profit would be guaranteed by the association, during a definite
period say ten years. Each farmer or grower would be told
what acreage to plant and he would be paid for the yield on
that acreage and no more. His surplus over this would be
destroyed he would bear the loss. There would be no law
compelling the individual farmer to join tbe association Mr.
Cowles believes most of them would join because they would see
it would be to their self interest to do so. Those who refused
would be black-listed, so to speak, and an agent would see that
their produce when sent to market would 'be undersold by. the
association produot. Thus eventually they would be forced to
join in self defense. With an overwhelming majority of the
producers in the organization, all growers of land products
would be assured a profitable business, and the consumer would
not have to pay an excessive price. Readers of the Mail Tribune
who are interested In the idea and wish to learn more about it,
or wish to pick flaws in it, can communicate with Mr. Cowles,
1217 N. Salsipuides St., Santa Barbara. .
Of course one flaw tii this 8r any other scheme, to solve" the
farm problem, is the weather
agent might figure on 30 bushels
and a drought oome along and
obviously be an upsetln the
conditions might increase the normal yield by 30 percent. In
short the weather man and that old reliable Old Man Supply
and Demand we fear, would be
patent plan to guarantee the
consumer a fair prioe.

All southern California is afflicted with Spanishitis, but
Santa Barbara rather more ao than any other place we have
ever visited. There isn't an English or Anglo Saxon name
within its boundaries, and nothing without gome Castillian twist
to it. The most modest dwelling is at least Castillo rancheria,
and no one without three years Spanish could pronounce one
half of one peroent of the side streets. We may not -properly
appreciate the arty and the characteristic, but our opinion is,
Santa Barbara needs at least one good English architect, with

INSIDE ES'FOBMAIIO Jf ABOUT PLEUBISY
Pleurisy la Inflammation of tba
pleura. Tba pleura I the serous
membrane tbat lines the chest cavity
and co vera the
lungs. Th9 pleu

Tbe classical sign of pleurisy la
"stitch In the side." This often ac

of lobar pneumonia, otherwise called
pleuro-pneumonla and lung fever.
But In most casea p'eurUy la not

The first Inside fact to be borne
In mind when you have pleurisy
that you positively must not cough.
Indeed, If you can do without breath
ing for a day or two It will be a
great help, but If you feel you sim
ply must go on breathing, breathe
just as little as possible.
That is why the doctor puts you
to bed for a touch of pleurisy, even
If you feel able to be up and about.
That's why he advises you to lie on
the affected side. It Is also the rea
son who he puts an adhesive plaster
glrle around your chest. The less
you breathe for a while the better.
Tou need to keep the Inflamed
pleura aa quiet aa possible until the
acute Inflammation subsides. Also
you hope to keep your pleurisy dry.
We don't want a lot of- water serum,

And we don't want purulent pleurisy

Empyema la always a grave Illness,

The fact that simple dry pleurisy,

Technocracy s Head Man
Stirs New Controversy
With Gloomy Forecast
Hearers Are Left Bewildered by Lecturer
, Science and Engineering Claims
Resented by Corporation Man
Br AAYMONb CBOWLET. w .
NEW YORK, Jan. 16. AP) Technocracy's head nun. Howard scow
had stirred up a new wave of controversy today as a result of hla iirsx
formal discussion of the subject with some leading bankers and industrialists.
The New York Times said a survey i
of the audience which ' heard him
Saturday night at a society of arts
and science dinner showed that In
general his hearers expressed skeptl
clsm, as well as disappointment at
what they regarded as i confused
presentation."
Bees Unemployment Grow,
Scott had sUd:
That social conditions would get
worse and wort If present trends
continued, and that unemployment
would Increase In this country to
30,000,000 within 18 months un'lesa
steps were taken; that "not one sin
gle outstanding political or financial
figure had come forward with any
proposal tvhat has one lota of useful
ness In dealing with present day con
ditions;
That '.'there la nothing Inherent in
democracy, or the price system, that
can deal with the problems In
hand;"
That "the more energy we consume
per capita, the more Is & change In
control necessitated; '
That America and Russia both
have an 'obsolete price system;'
Rich and Reds Aligned.
That "tohnocracy has undoubtedly
caused the strangest alignment In
history" the debt merchant and the
communist being "down In the mud
of the last ditch, fighting shoulder
to shoulder In defense of a system
of advantage.'
Tbe banrers, whom Scott referred
to as "debt merchants," heard him
calmly. Although Scott denied tech
nocracy was trying to say "there la
going to be chaos or there It going
to be doom Jefferson Scllgraan, of
Sellgman Brothers, bankers, found
Scott's views "rather gloomy."
'It Is a great thing to think about,'
he said. 'I have great respect for
Mr. Scott but I think bis views are
rather gloomy. He seems to feel
the end of the world Is comtlng. Hla
opinions leave me bewildered. Tech
nocracy offers a lucrative field for
thought and speculation; It embraces
many fields philosophy, sociology
economics."
Vanderllp Concuhs.
Frank A. Vanderllp, former presi
dent of the National City ank, found
the findings of technocracy "a pret
ty true picture." He said, however,
he would reserve Judgment until
more official material was published.
Lloniel D, Edle, economist, com
plained criticism of technocracy was
virtually impossible because It was
"difficult to know when a man really
represented technocracy there are
too many unofficial spokesmen for.
the 'white House."
Scott, a tall man with a wry smile
wfto smokes cigarettes fast and often,
said: "We are not bothering to re
ply to critics. We dont have to." He
said that "conditions in the next
two years on this continent will de
termine who la correct."
' Unique Statement.
He declared, according to a steno
graphic transcription, that "we are
in that unique situation that tech
nocracy receiving the attention of
the world It Is now going to be used,
at least the attempt Is going to be
made to use technocracy, not by
those within technocracy Itself, but
your present polltlcclan and your
aeot mercnants are going to pose
technocracy as one of the proposi
tions that will neeceaeltate a state
politically which would be so grave
that an institutional fascism will be
proposed under the guise of dicta
torial prerequisites of the Incoming
president."
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Society of Arte and
Sciences.
As he stated hit speech, Scott care
fully doused his cigarette and refer
ri to the public attention that
technocracy haa 'received.
Technocracy Booming.
Technocracy,' he said, "speaking
(coignc rrom tne continental divi
sion 7340, wishes to be perfectly un
derstood that this hss broken upon
It like nothing else that has hap.
pened to any similar organisation,
you might say, in the memory of

"Months ago, we were a quiet, un

torn than $1,200 and received not
more than $300 outside of the sub
scriptions of it mm1;. It has

words, to Judge from the results, are
the most potent 14,000 that have
been written up to date, if action
and Interest and curiosity are on
this continent any Julge of results." ;
Waves Question Away. !
Amember of tbe audience sent
Scott a written question, reading:!
"Does technocracy function to ad
ministrate the laws of economics?'
"That'a a funny question. said Scott.
"Economics a.rt much to recom

I'm not answering auch questions as

Editorial Comment
Not Interested In Riots.
Over In Medford thla week they had
a rather thrilling experience, resulting
from their political wara In that com
munity. In the last election two new
county commissioner were electee in
a turnover somewhat similar to the
one In thl county, except that the
contest waa much more bitter- The
one holdover commissioner, not wish
ing to serve without his old col
lesgues, resigned. In tbe last hour of
their regime the two aeiesica com
missioners appointed a successor.
Bnurred on by tbe fulmlnatlons of
the dramatto Llewellyn Banks, pub
lisher of tbe Medford New (the same
one who ran for TJ. 8. senate against
McKary a couple of year back) tbe
protest element threatened to march
on the new county courthouse In
force and evict the appointed com
missioner. So drsstlo were the threats
that the American Legion threatened
to turn out and do duty In the name
of law and order. When the grand
march finally came off last Friday
not half of the. expected marchers
turned out. In fact, most of the
thousand or ao who gathered at the
courthouse were mere Interested spec
tators. Nothing much happened. Speecbea
and demands were made. The com
missioner under attack waa booed
when he came forward to argue hi
own defense. The crowd finally dis
persed, disappointed at tbe tameneas
of the affair. The three commis
sioners (tbe two elected and the one
appointed) sat down together and
went through the routine of county
business In good humor. And that
was that.
Medford apparently ha been suf
fering from some very unstable leader
ship In recent montha. Every com
munity bas perloda of that kind. But
there la no real radical pressure in
Jackson county. Tbe pear growers
snd alfalfa ranchers will vote for
change, but very few of them will
waste time In -useless brawllngs. In
tbo long run, Medford will settle Its
troubles by the pesceful process of
give and take.
Medford 1 rather typical of tbe en
tire country. The agitators have their
day of Influence. Then people grow
tired of them. Genuine reforms are
never built In one. day. Eugene
