The Inflated dollar will probably be u hard to get hold of, and hang onto, as the current dollar. The plan seems to be to cheapen the dollar, to Increase the buying power, and spending proclivities of the people. Germany tried this, and Inflated the mark. The last time there was a re port on the mark from Berlin, lis value was so far below the American penny, that only an astronomer could figure It with a microscope. That Is why many citizens do not care to have the democratic party tinkering with the money system. An Infuriated farmer was noted yesterday chasing an Infuriated bull. He knocked the bull down with a piece of rail fence, and then twisted the bovlne's toil to make him stand up. The bull bawled, as much as to ' say: "So this Is Be Kind to Animal week," and then looked at the. far mer, as much as to say: Never mind, one of these days you won't get to the barn In time. . , ' Eastern beer Is here. Mr. Blatz, Mr. Plata. Mr. Pabst, and Mr. Scblltz do a much better job than the Cali fornia bootleggers or ths home-brew-sra.

An Instant, soc urate credit report may be obtained from the Southern Oregon Credit Bureau while your cus toms lt No Dictatorship Invoked THERE is a great deal of nonsense being talked about grant ing President Itoosevelt dictatorial powers. O ' . In times of great national danger a president should be granted EXTRAORDINARY powers, and that is all the admin istration is asking in this money bill. No unconstitutional priv ileges are requested the courts would nullify them, if they were. But the president IS asking unusual powers, yNDER the constitution, and it is to the interest of this country that he should have them. THERE is a great deal of difference between making the nrflnlrlenr. directlv responsible and eivine him added pow- I . - ers under the constitution, and making him a dictator outside of it. The people of this country have confidence in their new president. He wants to be granted freedom of action and is willing to take full responsibility for the wisdom and desirabil ity of such action. By all means grant him what he wants. This is no time to quibble over precedents, or checks and balances. The country is in danger grave danger if the country is to be saved from further disaster, some one must be granted authority, saddled with the responsibility and given a free hand. By the nature of our government, the president is the only man who can be thus entrusted thus honored, the only man who can pull the country out of the doldrums. True he may fail. ANYONE may fail. But he represents the country's only chance, at the present time. WHAT utter folly not to take that only chance! This doesn't mean dictatorship. It merely means, making the presi dent of this country, the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, OF THE FORCES ENGAED IN PUTTING DOWN THE DEPRESSION, and granting him the powers which such a position legitimate ly demands. The powers granted the president in this inflation measure, are extraordinary powers, but the conditions in this country are extraordinary. Moreovor, granting such powers does not mean that the president will necessarily use thorn. He may, or may not, depending upon future developments. The point is, at such a time of extreme danger there should be fixed responsibility and unity of command there Hhould be no needless red tape, san palavering for the safety of this country demands prompt and definite action. ' . President Roosevelt has a definite plan, he wants to put that plan into immedinte action. By all means, congress should give him the opportunity.

One half of .the pro fession, chiefly the older, well-established practi tioners, would adhere to the traditional policy or dignified ali en c 0. Looking wise and saying nothing, they re mind us. has served our pur pose for five thousand years. On the other hand, an equal number of doc tors, chiefly the younger men, are convinced that the principles of medical ethics which Impose silence on the rank and file of the profession are out of Joint with the times. These young radi cals point out that, although we still cling with fanatic piety to our hallowed old Code, nowadays we officially sponsor all sorts of radio, newspaper, magazine, public lecture and pamphlet peddling practices, and what's more, some of the stuff we teach the public In these harangues would arouse the envy and admira tion of Dr. Munyon himself. Frlnst this Item appeared In a newspaper February 19: Removal of tonsils and ade noids In children under five years of age Is Justified only when they are badly diseased (probably the tonsils, not the children); enlargement la ryt sufficient reason, according to a talk given for the state board of health over a radio station. As the Item appeared In a promi nent paper In an adjoining state It Is probably the state board of health that Issued the warning to the pub lic It Is a sad state of affairs when the health authorities are constrain ed to warn the public against the well, against what the learned politicians of the health board con sider "unjustified." You may state the answer. This radio talk was delivered by an employee of a county medical soci ety. The plot thickens. Here Is the official medical organization of the community warning the people against what? Who else but the regular physic ians, the "leading" and "well known" specialists, not of that county partic ularly but of every community In the country, has engaged In the practice of corral lng children through the efficient agency of nurses who eager ly serve as little tin doctors In this game, loading them into busses and rushing them to a dispensary or cllnto to have their tonsils and ade noids removed wholesale? If we, the regular medical profession, now rec ognize that this is unjustified. It would be more becoming and cer tainly more effective to attack the evil within the precincts of the medical society. The county medical society's radio barker referred to the diathermy method of extirpating tonsils, which method Is rapidly gaining popularity everywhere. Generally (the state board' and county medical society In forms the public) the coagula tion method of removing tonsils is not considered a successful one by the medical profession. That refers to the county In ques tion, you understand. Elsewhere In the United States. Canada, Eng land and point east, both the In telligent public and the progressive profession are turning to the dia thermy or electro-coagulation meth od as the method of choice, eapec tally In cases where the major oper ation of tonsillectomy Is too grave a risk for the patient to take. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Higher Culture Living as I do among a group of college men, I often have to look after those who have taken too much Intoxicating liquor. 1. What is the best way to keep them from getting sick (nauseated)? INFLATION AND YOUR DOLLAR $ $ $ $ By J. R. NEW YORK (AP) In two words, To make money cheaper is the urging changes In the money system of silver as money, reducing the gold currency or by Increasing credit. What does It mean to make money cheaperf Suppose dollars were for sale In the store and a farmer wished to buy dollars with wheat. The merchant sold him one dollar for one bushel of wheat. At a later time the mer chant asked two bushels of wheat for the dollar. The dollar might be purchased with leather, cement or any other commodity. Cheap and Expensive Dollars In the first Instance, the dollar was cheap at one bushel of wheat, expensive at two bushel. The reverse was true of wheat. It was expensive at one dollar for one bushel; cheap at one dollar for two bushels. It price was one dollar a bushel In the first trade; 60 cents a bushel In the second trade. The effect of Inflation Is to In creaM the price of wheat and other commodities; or. In reverse, to lower the price of money to decrease the amount of commodities necessary to sell in order to get a dollar. Why do many people urge Infla tion Why do they think money should be cheaper? There are two great clajwe of things which lnvolva the use of money. Brady, M.D. 3. What U the best way to settle their stomach? S. What Is the quickest method to sober them up? 4.

If organs cannot digest these fruits why do doctors recommend them for hyperacidity? (A. B. D.) Answer It Just happens you are sensitive to some element In the fruit. I am not aware that doctors recommend such fruit for hyperac idity. . Grinding Teeth I grit and grind my teeth when asleep. Is that a sign of worms? I had worms when a child ... (P. M.) Answer No. Perhaps It Is a sign your teeth need the attention of the dentist. In a large number of cases carefully observed It was found that most persons who have worms never grind their teeth, and most persons who grind their teeth have no worms. Paving of the Central Point cut off of the Pacific highway, will be completed about May 10, according to present Indications, and will be open to traffic by May 20. Work is progressing per schedule on the Ashland unit of the Talent- Ashland re-routing, and that project will be completed and opened to traffic, within the required time limit, June 31. The straightening of the Green creek section of the Pacific highway. near the Jackson-Josephine county lines, will be completed by June 10 It Is now expected. By the 4th of July, the Pacific highway, will be virtually a "straight shoot" from the foot of the Slsklyous to the Rogue river bridge at Grants Pass.

Secondly, debt. Interest, taxes, rail road rates, prices fixed by contract In leases and other items the prices of which do not vary greatly. Depression a Deflation The depression has been a defla tion process. It has forced down the prices of commodities and the fixed Items too. Some fixed items have declined much leas than other Items, so that It required the sale of more commodities to get the dollars neces sary to pay interest, taxes and so on. That la to say. money has become expensive. It takes more goods to buy money. This lack of equilibrium has meant difficulties) to everyone, depending on Income from the sale of commodities farmers, miners . and merchants. Tr-elr fixed coats have remained up, thetr income-producing Items have dropped. The secondary purpose of inflation Is to bring prices up enough so that It will be easier to get the money to pay the fixed charges, to bring all price into balance.

Communications Don't wlsttrm America) To the Editor: The war department's economy program advocates the reduction of from twelve to fifteen thousand men In the enlisted personnell. This re duction would. In my opinion, mean disaster. The only safe road to peace Is to be prepared to fight, so well prepared that no other na tion would dare molest -us. To cut down our fighting atrength now would be poor economy. In the end it would be good-bye America. It seems that the organization of the D. A. R. has entered a protest against any such reduction In our fighting force, In which protest I believe they are right. Amelia Earheart, famous flyer, criticises this attitude on the part of the D. A. R. She claims that wo men should not urge that men fight unless they themselves are willing to become soldiers. It Is not, In my opinion, a ques tion of willingness. I speak from experience when I say that many women have the spirit which goes to make the soldier, but women have not the physical strength and en durance necessary In the soldier. Let us suppose we ar organizing a regiment of Infantry foot soldiers. Find me a woman who could wear a heavy cartridge belt, carry a Krag Jorgensen rifle, a canteen of water, a haversack and a heavy blanket roll; a woman, who, so laden, could march all day over shell torn fields and through tangled forests, or all night long through a raging typhoon and go into the fight at dawn soaked to the skin, and without food two mild examples of what a soldier must endure in war times. I could cite Instances where. In an emergency, women have fought and that heroically, but the woman was created for another purpose, her place Is not on the battlefield but In the home, to rear the children and to "keep the home fires burn ing."
