conform with the N.E.A., this newspaper's overhead is increased,
when a strict adherence to sound business principles, would
call for a reduction. In addition to this increase in overhead,
the prices of many raw materials which the Mail Tribune must
buy, have gone up. More are expected to follow. In other
words when business conditions
duction COSTS are above normal, and will increase in that
direction.
TPHIS experience is not unusual. All industry and particularly
A all manufacturing, is undergoing the same process. It is
the inevitable result of President Roosevelt's New Deal. It is
the first step in the administration's effort to break the back
of the depression, and bring a

The Mail Tribune is not calling attention to these facts in
the nature of a complaint, but
ously with increased production

money for what it has to sell, just as will every other business,
that has agreed to operate under the N.R.A and is doing so in
good faith. From this there is
side of bankruptcy.
QO naturally one comes to the next step. Will the consuming
public pay the higher prices, will the nation's purchasing
power at higher levels, not only be maintained, but increasedt
That is a very important and very serious question, and only
the future can answer it. The Roosevelt administration, in its
N. R. A. program, assumes they will, and American business
men are gambling with them, on the soundness of that assump
tion. They are not only gambling on the principle, they are
backing up the gamble with their money money in
ADVANCE!
It is all in all the most extraordinary exhibition of sheer
FAITH, in one man, President Roosevelt; and in the people of
a nation whose destinies he controls, ever seen in this country,
of in any other.
BVIODSLY if President Roosevelt is wrong in this asaump
tion, if the buyers strike which has been such a determin
ing factor in this depression, CONTINUES, then the N.R.A.
program fails before it gets fairly started, and President Roose
velt fails with it.
As has been previously pointed out in this column the suocess
of the New Deal depends in the last analysis, not upon what
business agrees to do, business, big or little, but upon what
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS A WHOLE AGREE TO DO.
They have their economio fate in their own hands, they and
they alone can make the New Deal a success or break it.
.
'T'HE New Deal has distributed hundreds of millions of new
dollars, to the rank and file of this country through de
creased hours and increased wages. If that money is hoarded,
or put back in the channels of trade sparingly only as neces
sity demands the New Deal flops and flops completely.
If it ISN'T hoarded, if it is spent, not foolishly, but wisely
and liberally, then the New Deal is a success, and, in all likeli
hood a oomplote success.
WE believe it is going to be
good sense of the American people, to gamble what money we
have, that it ISN'T going to be a failure.
Hundreds of thousands of other business men are doing the
same. Where there is such a
breadth of this land, a spirit
nut cheerfully pays for the privilege of doing so, we refuse
to believe there is any such word as fail.

Windsor said with half a laugh. "I
cant understand It all."
"AU I can say is that it is a shame."
Read said. "I testified it was my

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Orange Peel.
Several months ago I started eating
the peelings of oranges. Since I start

Answer It la harmless In any case.
Readers mind, I'm not advising the
eating of orange peel. I am merely
assuring this correspondent It is
harmless.
Swimming Marathon.
I am going to enter a three mile
swimming race. While training I
sometimes have cramps In my legs.
If that shoul happen In the race it
might put me out, or even cause me
to drown . . . (M. K.)
Answer The only suggestion I can
offer Is that you take some sugar or
sweet immediately before the start of
the race, and If possible snatch some
thing more, say a flask of sweetened
tea or a little sweet chocolate along
the course of the race.
Nearsightedness.
Please tell me whether diet can Im
prove eyesight? Is exercise beneficial
for poor vision nearsightedness and
astigmatism? (E. M. 8 )
Answer So far aa I know, only
when diet or exercise Improves gen
eral health and vigor. The state of
vision varies with general health. As
a rule one wit hnear-slghtedness
should wear the proper glasses for all

NEW YORK
DAY BY DAY
By O. O. Mclntyre
NEW YORK, Sept. 16. I was In
terviewed today. Thla happens to
those of us in the solitary grooves
of life now and
then. The Inter
viewer waa a
personable Miss
from a college
paper In the
South. She waa
as unused to in
terviewing as I
to being Inter
viewed. So em
barrassment was
mutual.
She sat on a
modern plush
bench In front of
my desk, lit a cigarette and began:
"What was your first newspaper sal
ary?" Unconsciously aha touched a
tender area of memory. But X re
plied: "Two buck a week." Then
of a sudden I had one of those rari
ties Will Hogg used to dub "a lucid
interval."
I halted proceedings while I sent
serosa to the Waldorf for a public
stenographer. Why not set down
exactly what was said between us
in "he" and "ahe" fashion? And
perhaps I could kill two birds with
one stone an article for her and a
column for myself. Here it Is any
way: She: Who Influenced you most to
take up newspaper work?
He: James T. Johnson a small
town newspaper reporter.
8he: Why?
He: Because I heard he got (18
a week and passes to everything.
She: Has there ever been a time
when you wished you had gone Into
some other calling?
He: Well, I watched Lindbergh
drive up Fifth avenue on bis returm
from France. That made everything
else look rather silly.
She: What do you mean by that?
He: I scarcely know. It Just
popped out.
She: Why Is it you never write of
politics or world events?
He : I leave those topics to
weightier minds.
She: Do you know most of your
readers think you are roly-poly and
bald?
He: I wouldn't know about that.
You can see for yourself It is libel.
She: Would you mind standing
up and turning around?
He: I wouldn't. But I warn you
I creak In the turns.
She : For how many papers do
you write?
He: I cannot say precisely. Con
siderably more than 300.
She: Every writer has a theme
running through his stuff. What
would you say ' your's?
He: O, I should say huckleberry
pasture and the clank of cowbells.
She: Do you have many Interrup
tions while turning out your col
umns? He: Many. But not so Interesting
as this.
She: You know how to compli
ment. He: I have my moments. You
should catch me In a hammock with
a mandolin I
She: You have written New York
Is the Ideal city. Is there anything
you think it lacks? That la, some
thing very essential?
He: Outside of the feeling of hills,
nothing.
She: Do you still wear all those
noisy shirts and neckties I've read
about?
He: I rainbow a little now and
then. Somebody has to with Jimmy
Walker away.
She: Even that green house robe
you wear could not exactly be called
modest.
He: It could be if one wanted to
lie uneffectually.
She : In your personal piffle I
don't remember of you telling what
word you have misspelled more than
any other?
He: I always spell Adirondack with
three a'a. What la your's?
She: Please, I am interviewing.
He: I stand corrected. Man lost
all rights long ago.
She: I notice the books In this
room are modern. Do you think
modern writers are beating the old
timers? He: Very few outdistanced Swift.
And Chaucer Is still pretty good. '
She: I must be going. It was
nice of you to see me.
He: It was good of you to come.
Those barking hyenas In the hall
won't bite. They are Just a couple
of lllly-livered bluffers.

not aa fiery as was expected earlier
In the week.
Lessen Demands
Confronted by reports of protests
from upstate counties and the state
ment of Chairman Scott Issued from
Salem Friday against any realloca
tion of funds, the Portland group, in
stead of demanding 85 per cent of
the federal highway funds, as waa at
first reported, brought their request
down to 60 per cent of the 50 per
cent which "must and might" be
allocated to work within cities. The
federal act provides the 35 per cent
be apent for primary roads. They did
not contest the primary road alloca
tion. Jack Lulhn, head of the Portland
delegation, presented petitions to the
commission demanding immediate re.
lief and at least el. 800,000 of the fed
eral highway funds. These petitions
were signed by 44 organizations rep
resenting 88,000 people In Multno
mah county. A committee of 36 aired
the views presented In these petitions
to the commission. This demand was
against propjects already allocated tn
other parte of taie atate.
While Lulhn stated he was not
there to upset the highway program
of the state demands of his delega
tion would mean reallocation of vlr
tually all of the Items. County Com
missioner Frank Shull. declaring that
Multnomah county had the bulk of
the unemployed In the atate, and
Amedee M. Smith, president of the
Portland chamber of commerce, who
stated the city was not backing up
on previous endorsement of upstate
projects, assisted Lulhn In the chief
arguments.
Cheers far Carson
The most effective plea was made
by Mayor Joe Carson of Portland and
his remarks were greeted by applause
rrom the upstate opposition. He stat
ed that as far as he knew, the city
oi Portland was not taking a provin
cial attitude, nor did It want to "hog"
all the money as had been represent
ed. He pointed out there was a great
er need for relief funds In Portland
than anywhere- else In the state, and
that "If this was a relief fund, give
tne request of Portland considers
tlon."
Robert R. Sawyer, former member
of the state highway commission
from Bend led the delegation from
ail but nine of the upstate counties,
which were not represented. He stated
that "all Oregon was here In protest
to tne demands of Portland," he pre.
sented resolutions to the commis
sions, unlnamously passed at an ear
lier session, endorsing the allocation
set out by the commission and pro
testing Portland'a demands.
Former State Senator Sam Garland
of Lebanon warned the Portland group
It was "widening the breach of friend
ship between Portland and outside
communities.' He declared that Port
land received the most benefit from
all roads constructed and that the
trade wealth of the entire state was
now going to ortland. Other speakers
supporting the upstate contentions
were Earl H. Hill of Lane county. Roy
Rltner, and Judge F. L. Phipps of

Punish the Careless Hunter
To the Editor:
Hunting season will soon be here
and I am wondering how many men
are going to be shot for a deer or a
bear, and If they are, will we con
tinue to dn nnthlnir hmit. It
Ther S r .n,n tvn. n. man -..fen
should never be granted a hunting
nw. r-irss is tne man wno gets
so excited that vhtjv.F Via .u
Is what he la looking for. Second Is
mo man wno snoots first and counts
vne norns srterwards. He will shoot
at movlnz brush. If ha vuia
cow or horse he passes on and saya
uoming, u n nappens to be a buck
he returns a successful (?) hunter.
If It la a man he thnncrvtt. v, , -
deer or a bear and gets away with It.
Every time a man, he does not de
serve to be called a hunter, shoots at
moving brush he Is taking a terrible
terrible chance, la violating the law
and la a menace to the community.
i nave Deen on a good many hunt
ing trlDB and I have never vt
an animal that looks like a man
neuner nas any one else and when
they claim It they are only admitting
wwu creieaaness. xnis careless
ness will never eesse unless punish
ment is Inflicted. Some people say a
man who haa killed a hunter auffers
snd Is punished enough, but from the
fact that this careless shooting con
tlnues and each year more victims
are added to the list shows that
enough has not been done.
The law ssva that .iu. . .-
guilty of manslaughter but how many
ra.m .uca a aentence, sym
pathy Of nelehbora am frian. i
"Pt them from It. I think the law
uou.a os enrorcea and If that does
not stop the carelessness change the
law to capital punishment, it cer
tainly Is more sensible to kill off
this type of so-called huntera, than
It Is to let them go free to shoot and
kill Innocent, careful hunters. We
protect our live stock by putting
a bounty on stock-kllllng anlmsls
why not protect our hunters?
