budget. Day In and day out we

headlines asserting that we are

gentlemen on the left, on the

has ranged from the soft whisper in

squeal before a favorable audience.
The plentiful oratory has not helped
the aforesaid situation a whit, or a

put to work as the result of a speech.
Some think there would be no situa

abolishment of speech might not do
the situation any good, but It cer

One feature of their hotel deserves a word of praise namely
their breakfast system. No service charge for breakfasts served
in the rooms, and excellent breakfasts they are, prices so low

Those who still wonder about Technocracy, may find the last
word in a recent analysis by Walter Lippman, who declares
Technocracy bears the same relation to the depression, that
Erugerisra and Insullism did to the late and lamented reign of
synthetio prosperity. The Kruger match swindle had values
behind it; so did the Instill wildcat exploitation. But the meth
ods of both were doomed to bring disaster. There are values
behind Technocracy. But the methods of the leading Techno
crats, doom it to disaster and disillusion for those who fail to
see the fallacies of their fundamental assumptions. Incidentally
Columbia university has divorced itself from Scott and his
fellow "quackers" who, Lippman says, are now devoting them
selves to magazine articles and lectures to oash in on some easy
money, before Technooraoy joins the Pewee golf course, and
mahjong in the limbo of forgotten fads.
We were interested in Victor Bursell's reasons for favoring
an expensive audit Of the county records. No longer a watch,
dog of the county treasury, and convinced a majority of the
people want an audit, he urges the county court to order it.
Such an audit he is convinced
years and years, our various county courts have been honest
and publio spirited, have not been above mistakes of course,
but have made no serious ones and have certainly been guilty
of no irregularities in spito of the constant political hullabaloo
about corruption and graft,
That is and has been our idea exaotly, -We believe such
an audit would be a waste of the tax payers' money, as far as
any revelations are concerned, BUT as long as a majority of
them want it and they have to pay the bills, by all means
let thorn have it.
The result can only demonstrate once more, that this mud
slinging has' had but one purpose in mind, to put the 'mud
slingers IN office, and put the victims of it OUT.

(an
assistant In
structor In a
me d l c a 1
school and
one of a
huddle of
a m b 1 1 1 ous
doctors who
seek business
under the
name of a
"clinic". He told me that he
had undoubtedly removed more
tonsils by the diathermy method
than any physician In ,
and he put the whole thing
down as a huge advertising
scheme by the manufacturers of
the machine. He warned me that
I was In constant danger of
hemorrhage If I chose that meth
od and that I would be the vic
tim of foul breath, etc., etc., .and
urged me that the only thing to
do was to enter his department
In the hospital and let
him cut them out which I did
not do.
The young woman goes on to tell
how she found a physician who made
no bones about giving her the dia
thermy treatment and how grateful
she feels toward me for having
brought this modern method to the
attention of the public. She adds
that In the past winter she sent sev
eral young persona who were under
her tutelage to the physician who so
successfully removed her tonsils and
they have found the method uni
form? satisfactory.
Now, let's see about the assistant
professor's blind spot. In the first
pleace he Is connected with a medical
school that sanctions almost any
cheap trick the ambitious young doc
tor on the teaching staff may find
necessary to get some business. The
"clinic" racket Is only one of the
tricks.
The assistant professor, with true
quackery Instincts, boasts to the pa
tient that he has removed more ton
sils by the diathermy method than
any other physician In the state. Yet
he asserts that the method Is merely
a big advertising scheme and that
the victim Is In constant danger of
hemorhage. No doubt he learned
these sad things by sad experience.
But being an assistant professor
he had to carry on with the worth
less, dangerous method until he
could boast he had employed In in
many cases.

Tariff No Remedy
To the Editor:
Protection Is no friend of the plain
people of the United States, and yet
It is the plain people, who, by their
support, keep protection In force as
a national policy. For decades they
have been fed on propaganda in sup
port of protection. They have done
thinking on the subject, they
have read nothing except political
buncombe. Have you ever tried to
argue with the average protectionist.
Mr. Editor? It reminds one of
Huckleberry Finn's complaint: "I see
It warnt no use wasting words you
cant learn a nigger to argue. So I
quit." Mr. Editor, you cant learn a
protectionist to argue.
If you push a protectionist into a
corner, he Invariably falls back on
the (to him) unanswerable argu
ment: Protection Is necessary If the
American standard of living Is to be
maintained. It Is worth while, in
these tragic times, aggravated as they
are by the most selfish and stupid
tariff rivalries, to examine Into this
argument. Let me quote the most
disinterested and the most able
American tariff authority. Prof. F. W.
Taussig:
"For years and years It has been
dinned into the ears of the American
people that high wages are the result
of protection, or at least dependent
on protection; that the maintenance
of a high atandard of living depends
on the barrier against competing
laborers of lower price, and that the

want such doctors are compelled to
endure for years and years are pa
thetic, and even then they are never
sure that they will gain a substan
tial practice as "eminent specialists'
in the end.

that In qualified hands the diathermy

SAFEST method we have. The dan

Is there any danger of catching the

Answer Tularemia is usually con
tracted by Infection entering through
some cut, scratch or puncture of the
skin of the person skinning, dressing
or preparing the rabbit for cookm.
Domestlo rabbits are not Infected,
only wild rabbits. Any rabbit that
falls to try to get away may be re
garded with suspicion. The liver of
the Infected animal shows many lit

game should wear heavy rubber
gloves. Hot water and soap Is best
disinfectant. Any abrasion or wound
of skin should be Immediately dis
infected with lodln. Thorough cook
ing kills the germ of the disease.

worklngman has a special and pecu
liar interest In the system of high
duties."
"The general range of wages In the
United States was not created by
protection and Is not dependent on
protection. The common talk about
the sacredness of protection as a
means of uplifting the worklngman
Is mere claptrap."
''The fundamental cause of high
wages Is large productiveness of
labor. The higher, range of wages In
the United States Is due to the coun
try's rich natural resources, and to
the energy and Intelligence with
which these have been utilized.
High tarlffa as a remedy for falling
prices were tried by the principal
European states In 1878-1868. The
remedy only aggravated the malady,
and that la the case with us today.

Editorial Comment
They Still Pretend.
Some are saying that a state sales
tax. If enacted, will be defeated un
der referendum. They threaten. They
pretend, m the face of an actual ma
jority of farmer-members In the
house who voted for a sales tax In
the special session, that every person
on every farm in Oregon will vote
against It. They try to intimidate
members into voting against a sales
tax by pretending that the back
country is unanimously against ft.
Ho such thing. Members who voted
for the sales tax have received many
letters from tanners, seme from.
grangers, approving the votes of those
members and declaring that the
Orange leadership against the sales
tax does not represent the sentiments
of farmers generally. The pretense
that farmers are united against the
sales tax Is political buncombe. Some
farmers are against It. Others are
for It. So with people of all classes.
It Is a controverted question. Why
pretend that sentiment Is all one
way?
They talk now of perpetuating the
state property tax, In full or in part.
But the property taxpayers are groan
ing already. Property tax delinquency
runs up to 70 per cent In some coun
ties. Owners of property cannot pay
more, and many of them do not In
tend to pay more, state tax or no
state tax. We have In effect a tax
payers' strike.
Let the legislature. If It can, find
ways to economy that will render un
necessary any new revenues from
taxes. If it cannot do that and
every economy It proposes Is hotly
opposed by somebody there la
practicable source to which It can

Your Income Tax
A series of dally articles based on
revenue act of 1932 and designed
to aid those required to file In
come tax returns for year 1032
Who Must File Returns
Returns are required of every sin
gle person who for the year 1933 had
a gross Income of (5000 or more or a
net Income of 61000 or more and of
every husband and wife living to
gether who for the year 1032 had an
aggregate gross Income of C5000 or
more or an aggregate net Income of
$2500 or more. Widowers, widows,
divorcees, and married persons sep
arated by mutual consent are classed
as single persons. The personal ex
emptions are 91000 for single persons
and 92500 for married persons living
together and for heads of families.
Husband and wife living together
each may make a separate return of
the income of each, or their income
may be Included In a single joint re
turn. If separate returns are filed,
one may not report income which
belongs to the other, but must report
only the income which actually be
longs to him. If a Joint return Is
filed, such return la treated as a tax
able unit, and the Income disclosed
Is subject to both the normal tax and
the surtax.
Husband and wife may elect each
year whether to file a Joint return or
separate returns. Where, however,
joint or separate returns have been
filed for a particular year, neither
husband nor wife may after the due
date of the return file an amended
return or returns on a different
basis for that year.

closely. That same policy had- been
announced unofficially some weeks
before. Nothing was proposed to be
done before March 4.
The French were so flabbergasted
they did not even go near the state
department for days. They burned
up the long distance telephone be
tween Paris and London. But they
could not get much Information from
the British capital. It was nearly a
week after the announcement that
confidential word came from Paris
promising the French would pay.
The French are very poor poser
players.
What nearly ruined the play was
the British also failed to appreciate
that they were In a poker game. There
were strong Indications they were In
sufficiently advised all along. The
British ambassador. 81r Ronald Lind
say, held a heated' session with an
under secretary of state, complaining
that he had been scooped continu
ously on these American announce
ments. The British were embar
rassed because they have an agree

will accept the Lausanne reparations
agreement until a satisfactory war
debt settlement has been made with
us. .
In the execution of the scheme Mr.
Sttmson was magnificent. There are
some near the Democratic throne who
hint that Mr. Roosevelt had a hand
In devising the thing. But no one
save an Inventor could have carried
It out with the zest that Sttmson
showed. He gleefully denied for days
that a memorandum had been hand
ed to the British. The Londonera kept
Insisting that they had a memo and
that It was handed to Sir Ronald by
Stlmson the night of the White Bouse
meeting.
Finally Stlmson confessed, but with
no proper display of humility, simi
larly he kept It quiet for several days
that similar memos had been given
to other governments which paid
News of that leaked out from Rome.
The night he made his final con
fesslon. Assistant Secretary of State
Castle delivered a speech In Phila

about the frankness of the state de
partment In dealing with the public
and the preus.
Continued failures of Interior banks
still arouse no apprehension In New
York except Insofar as they may lead
to renewed hoarding. The failures
are explained in high quarters as
partly due to a new Joint policy of
the R. P. O. and the federal reserve
to let nature take Its course, instead
of trying to save everything In sight.
The harder-boiled banking element
here Is strongly In favor of weak sis
ter elimination.
It la Ironic that several of the

Several large trust companies are
paying undiminished dividends in
spite of srunken earnings because of
future prospects. These companies
have estate trusts lined up which they

them out. Quite a few estates are
