Some premature Hallowe'en dev astation baa been reported from the residential areas. A number of pretty ghosts have been engaging In some petty thieving, the police hear. The Hallowe'en sprites have a tooth for gasoline, and new tires, the ateallng of which is supposed to come under the head of "innocent pranks." To stop this gay mischief a number of citizens have started sleeping In their garage . with a well-greawd ahctgun. They belong to the old school, and think some of the new school are a trifle too criminal. The C. Wig Aahpole boy. Wlglette, la montha old, baa a toot, and Is showing signs of ipeech.

AVERT significant statement was made by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, the other -day, which has passed by unnoticed. In speaking to the delegates to the lumber con servation conference, the secretary said: "If you don't properly control your own Industry, th govern ment will control It (or you." That is the CARD up President Roosevelt's sleeve. If the N. R. A., which is a VOLUNTARY plan of business control, doesn't work; then a COMPULSORY plan will take its place. This, in general terms, will be Fascism. It will only be adopted as a last resort, but President Roosevelt is ready to do it, if circumstances render it necessary. If business refuses to do certain things by REQUEST; then business will be ordered to do certain things, by EXECUTIVE EDICT. President Roosevelt has the power. If forced to, he is going to exercise it. e NOT that President Roosevelt personally believes in Fascism or wants it. But as President of the country, under the extraordinary conditions which prevail, he is not master of his fate, or the fate of his country. . - He is merely a pawn in a game, ruled by overwhelming cosmic forces. He has one outstanding purpose and only one to save his country from economio disaster. , . If the N. R. A. fails to do the job; then Fascism, a definite economic plan,, backed up by force, will, as far as he is con cerned, be the only alternative. The same forces that brought Fascism in Italy and Ger many will bring Fascism here. The only question is, whether or not, a voluntary system of readjustment, will be sufficiently successful to render such a radical step unnecessary. We hope'so. Stop Coddling Tax Dodgers pVERYONE knows how hard collections are, in all lines of business. Selling things isn't nearly as difficult, as getting the money, after they are sold. During a business depression, nothing else can be expected. Fearful of the future, the aver age person doesn't let money go until he has to. 11THAT would happen to a private business, that instead of exerting every effort to collect money due, gave a premium for its non-payment t , It wouldn't last six months. It would soon be bankrupt and deserve to be. Yet that's the way publio business in this state, has been conducted ever since the depression' started. Taxes form the only source of revenue for public business. But by lowering the penalty for non-payment, extending the timo for payment, and refusing to give a bonus for QUICK payment, the stnte legislature has done everything in its power to encourage tax delinquency. Some of course, can't pay. But in this county and every other, there are many who could pay, but refuse to do so. They would rRther keep their cash, force the county into the banking business, and uso their money in more profitable ways. As a result, practically every county in the state is on the verge of bankruptcy because of the non-payment of taxes. No other outcome could be expected, after doing everything legally to invite the very condition complained of. IJANDING over money for taxes is not like handing over money for articles. It is not a question of TRADE, it is a question of CIVIC DUTY an inescapable obligation of good citizenship. For unless taxes are paid no form of government can survive, and every individual who can pay his taxes but refuses to do so, contributes just so much, to the downfall of the government under which lie lives. The present tax laws in this state, aro based upon the contrary assumption, that taxes instead of coming first should come Inst, or somewhere procession. The special session of the state legislature should certainly change this ridiculous situation, and put the matter of tax pay ments upon a sane and business-like basis. The penalties for non-payment should be restored, and a bonus, or cash discount should be given (at least during the present crisis), for prompt payment of taxes in FULL. For only in this way can the MAXIMUM tax money AVAIL ABLE be secured. And every county in the state needs the maximum as never before. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O, O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Oct. 29.

AS MEDICINE BEKB IS BATHEB FLAT I claim this 3.3 per cent beer Is intoxicating. My husband claims it la not. He has never drunk beer nor any other kind weigh only 98 pound and have a leaky heart valve. The least fright or., shock of any kind aete my heart pound ing and makes me shd'rt of breath. My fam ily and . friends all drink a good deal of beer and are all over weight. They claim my husband and myself should drink it. They say it Is a good aa any tonic and would help me gain more weight. They also claim It la not Intoxicating. How do you think It would act on my heart? My husband la a very hard worker and he also la a little under weight. If you think beer would be good for us, that Is, If It Is not Intoxicating . . . Mra. M. L. E. The question whether beer la In toxicating 1 not ausceptlble of a def inite answer. Depend on who la drinking it, how much he drlnka, and what we regard as Intoxication. There la no legal or generally accepted def inition of Intoxication. o far a 1 can learn. Therefore, It 1 a matter' of Individual opinion. In my opinion beer la Intoxicating. I regard anyone as Intoxicated when I can detect the odor of alcohol on hla breath. That la fairly good evidence, I think, that the Individual has consumed more alcohol than he can oxidize or burn and utilize as food or fuel. Another sign of Intoxication, in my Judgment, is the way people who are under the Influence of alcohol insist that It I good for all and sundry, that It Is a "tonic," "strengthening," nourishing, warming, cooling, cheer ing, consoling, or what would you. According to a chemical analysis of beer made in the pre-war time wnen 'eer waa not restricted as to alcoholic content, a good grade of beer has the following nutritive value: Water, 00 per cent, alcohol 3.75 per cent, carborhydrate (sugar) S per cent, nitrogenous matter (protein) 0.5 per cent, and mineral matter 0.20 ner cent. If we assume all tne aico- hoi In such beer Is actually oxidized and used aa food or fuel in the body, the total calories In the alcohol alone would amount to 130, in the pint of beer, which added to the calories from the sugar and protein in the beer would give a grand total of about two-thirds of the calorie you get from a pint of milk, and no question effort waa only partly successful. The victim, Leo Marsh, If you must know, merely tripped Into a few quick steps Instead of measuring his length. Some day. however. I will get my man.

But the efforts of beer and wine bibbers to browbeat everyone else Into doing a they do are tlreaome. Why can't they behave themselves and refrain from making comments or offering advice or other wise calling attention to the members of th eparty who for one reason or another do not choose' to Indulge? When they've had a Uttle too much beer or wine must they play the role of the bad boy or girl who delights to compel a leas sophisticated com panion to do a he or ahe does? I assure this correspondent and her husband that beer can do no good for either of them. If thr-y surrender now and begin drinking It Just be cause their friends Insist on It, their friends will only laugh at them for being so easUy Influenced.

Well, the President said thaf If It couldn't be done one way It would be done another. Presumably he ha Inflation, In one form or another, In mind. At any rate, that Is the conclusion drawn by traders on the stock and commodity markets, for stock and grain prices rose sharply In response to the President's address. HY? Because inflation mean more money WORTH LESS. If there Is to be more money, worth less, people want more of this money In exchange for what they have to sell. So prices rise. Sf, MUCH for inflation, whose ef fect are coming to be fairly weu understood. But how about this "managed" currency? What is It? How will it work? Will you experiment ONE WEEK W fi to be RID of Constipation t A L FOR LIFE? 1 Thousands hav nded their bowel (roubles this wo O Get liquid laxative that can be measured to the drop. $ I Take the amount found to bring a perfect movement. H I Reduce the dose, as bowel begin to move without help. Cnn ronjlipalion be overcome? "Yes!" say medical men. "Yesl" any thousands who have followed their advice and know. You are not likely to cure any case of constipation with salts, pills, tablets, or any habit-forming cathartic. But you con correct this condition by gentle regulation with a suitable liquid laxative. Why Hospitals use a liquid laxative The dose of liquid laxative ran be measured. The action can be con trolled. It forms no habit; you nerd not take a "double dose" a day or two later. or will a mild liquid lazaliit irritate tht kidneys. The right liquid laxative brings a perfect movement, without any discomfort at the lime, or after. The wrong cathartic may keep you constipated as long as you keep on using ill And the habitual use of irritating salts, or of powerful drugs Mak the LIQUID TEST: A week with a properlv prepared liquid laxative will prove to you that vou are on the right track. A few weeks' lime, and your bowels can be as regular as clockwork. The secret is the right laxative, and the right dose. A laxative vou ran measure out. and reduce the dose as the need for help is reduced. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which every druggist keeps ready for use. THE PRESIDENT himself answered these questions in thee words: "When we have restored the price level, we shall seek to establish and maintain a dollar which will not change In purchasing and debt-paying power during the succeeding gen erations." Th present dollar, you know, DOES change In purchasing and debt-paying power. . FOR EXAMPLE:' ' . Back in 1928, or thereabout, wheat wa selling on the farm here in the Pacific Northwest for a dollar bushel. That Is to ay, a dollar would then buy a bushel of wheat. But at the low point laat faU and winter, wheat would bring on the farm up In the Pendleton and Walla Walla country only about 15 cents a bushel. In other words, a dollar would then buy about SEVEN bushels of wheat. Quite a change in purchasing power. NOW a to debt-paying power. Suppose, when wheat waa sell ing for a dollar a bushel on the farm, a farmer borrowed $1000 on a five- year note. He then borrowed the equivalent of 1000 bushels of wheat. But, when the note came due five yeara later, wheat was selling for 15 cents a bushel, which meant that he had to pay back the equivalent of SEVEN THOUSAND bushels of wheat. That la how the dollar changea In debt-paying power. fJOW Is It proposed to bring about 1 1 thla "managed" dollar, whose purchasing and debt-paying power wlU remain the aame from year to year? The answer, of course, is that It will be done, or at least attempted. by some form of Inflation. When prices show a tendency to fall below the fixed atandard, MORE MONEY will be Issued or, to put It in an other way, the gold content of the dollar will be lowered. When prlcea ahow a tendency to rise above the fixed standard, LESS money will be Issued or, again put ting It the other way around, the gold content of the dollar will be IN CREASED. WILL It work? Suppose you answer that ques tion. This writer can't. Probably nobody can. But the experiment might be worth trying. Fifty years ago. It dodn't look as if a heavier than air machine could be made to fly. But the Wright brothera tried It and made It work. M FIFTY years ago a heavier than air machine COULDN'T he made to fly because we didn't yet have engines light enough and powerful enough. Correspondingly, a "managed" cur rency couldn't have been made to work 0 years ago, because we didn't have statistics enough. In order to succeed, a managed currency must have accurate flgurea on aupply and demand, Just aa a heavier than air machine, In order to fly, must have a light and powerful engine. Were beginning to get such statu. tlca. So maybe a managed currency would now be possible. HIGH COMMISSIONER TO AID JEWS NAMED GENEVA, Oct. 26. (AP) J&mM O. MacDonald of New York waa appoint ed by the League of Nations today a high commissioner of Jewish ref ugees from Germany. The United States accepted an In vitation to designate a representative to sit on the governing body which will supervise the relief. in the highly concentrated form of pills and tablets may prove injurious. What Is a Safe Laxative? In buving any laxative, read Ihe label. It it contains one doubtful drug, don't take it. If you don't know anything about a prepara tion, ask some doctor about it. Temporary relief that you get from some habit-forming cathartic is very apt to be dearly bought. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a prescriplional preparation with its ingredients staled on the label. Bv using it, vou avoid bowel strain. You can keep the bowels regular, and comfortable. Y'ou can make constipated spells as rare as colds. w Flight 'oTime iMedfora ana Jackson count) Uiaury cram the rues ol lor Mall Tribune of io and 10 Year, " go.) TEN YEARS AGO TODAY October 28, 1923.
