Transfer, Vlw Msu.ia An Emergency Exists IT is to be hoped the special session of the legislature will settle the liquor control problem first and then go on to other matters. For other matters can wait. Liquor control can't. The present liquor situation represents a genuine emergency. Taking advantage of the repeal of national prohibition, and the absence of effective regulation, speakeasies and booze dives are running full blast all over the state. The old liquor crowd and their satellites, are determined to make hay while the sun shines. The bars are down. In the cities large and small, even in the rural districts, an illicit liquor traffic is being carried on, with law enforcement agencies because of the absence of legis lation, powerless to prevent it. This condition must be corrected at the earliest possible moment. Only the legislature can do it. THANKS to the foresight of Governor Meier, a special com mittee nf rflnresentnt.ivfi citizens from nil nnrfn nf thn state. has a definite plan of liquor control, in readiness for the legis lature's action It is a good plan. In fundamental features it conforms to the best thought in the country, rogarding this important prob lem In the opinion of this newspaper, this plan, in its essentials SHOULD'BE ACCEPTED, and its provisions incorporated into law, with an emergency provision attached. Behind such action we are confident, would be the support of an overwhelming publio opinion. And against subsequent evasions or violations of the provisions of the measure would at once be marshalled an aroused For the people of Oregon saloon. They don't want, and don't intend to countenance, any uncontrolled competitive traffic in liquor, which would inevit ably lead to a period of state wide debauchery and crime. They want BETTER conditions morally and economically without prohibition than existed under it. They don't want and will refuse to have conditions which are WORSE. .

But it would bo foolish for anyone to suppose that this over whelming referendum in favor of the Nazi policies, regarding disarmament and the League of Nations, in any real sense, MISREPRESENTED publio opinion in the Reich. A free and fair election would not have brought out a vote of ten to one for Hitlor, such votes are unknown in any real democracy but there is no' question that the dictatorship would have been endorsed on this issue of foreign policy, and endorsed, overwhelmingly. Even Hitler's political enemies, safely out of the country, and free to say what they think, admit that he is the spokesman for the country at the present time, and his policies and pur poses are those of the German nation of today. lie expresses in language all can understand, the national will to regain Germany's place in the sun, to recover from the humiliation and defeat of the war, and again place the Father land on an equality with other wqrld powers. AND because this is true, these arm nnnff.nl m.. . 1. v....u. uiciii, can uo nuuepiea as a true expres sion of the German national will, and as evidence that only a miracle of some sort, can prevent another European war. For no matter what Hitler may say for world consumption, there is no doubt that he is determined to disrenard the Divi sions of the Versailles treaty, secure a working union with Aus tria, and regain the Tolish corridor. None of these things can be done without a European con flict. So as long ns Hitler remains in power, or as long as Hitler policies represent the German people, war in Europe is certain. It can only be prevented by Hitler's overthrow, not from without but from within, that is by the people of-Germany themselves. Barring that outcome, Old Man Mars can regard the future in Europe with relish and enthusiasm, NAVY MAN'S WIFE T WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.

We doctors call such perver sion of appetite "pica," which at once suggests we don't know much about lt. Infants commonly mani fest a fondness for ashes, soli and the like when they are old enough to creep or totter about and gratify their odd taste. Young women with sim ple anemia often crave freak things such as sour pickles, vinegar, green fruit. Expectant mother vare quite likely to dote on raw starch, chalk or what have you. Here let me as sure all of these that their odd crav ing has no particular significance and there is no serloua harm In any of the thlnga mentioned. In some cases the craving la satisfied by the healthful habit of eating some raw potato, carrot, turnip or other root vegetable every day: or chewing some raw wheat, oats, rice; or eating the skins or outer husks and aeeds of various vegetable and fruits Instead of paring them off or excluding them; or eating the tops of onions, celery, parsley and the like when these rel ishes are available. But even If the baby prefers clean fire sterilized ashes, or mamma like her chalk or coal, these things are quite harmless. 60 1 good clean sand or soil, provided lt Is not polluted, that 1. by excre tion of animal or man. Such pol lution. Involving the hazard of in festation with various parasites, is the only serious objection to "pica." Here Is a good place to warn par ents about the danger of serious or even fatal lead poisoning from paint on crib, bed, high chair or toy or playthings, when the baby has the habit of gnawing at such things. The infant so slowly poisoned becomes anemic, puny, fretful, sickly, and eventually Buffer from paralysis, convulsion or other grave manifes tation of damage to the central nerv ous system. Better unpatnted fur nishings and playthings It will do no harm If the baby puts these In his mouth or gnaws at them. Wood Is not a food, nor yet a poison. That ut'qultou agent Ben Told has lt that pica la due to lack of something in the system. There Is no scientific ground for the notion. Many persons who crave these extraordin ary thing may have a shortage of calcium (lime) or some deficiency in the metabolism or utilization of this NEW YORK DAY BY DAY O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Nov.

FROM Washington, following the news from Havana, come, this dispatch: "High government authorities an. wered report, of new violence In Cuba with a reiteration late today that Intervention wa. not under considera tion." Common sense rules In Washington these days. Ail we would get out of Intervention in Cuba would be MORE ILL WttL.

AWAY with Percy, so far aa thla writer Is concerned. He', a men ace to business recovery. If the crease In a pair of pants can be made to last six months, what is to become of the thousands of peo ple who now gain their livelihood by PUTTING THE CREASE In men's pants? All that would be left for them would be the breadline, and we have enough In the breadline already. THE TECHNOCRATS, a while back, were telling ua about razor bladea that would last four or five years or perhaps lt was ten without re- sharpening. If we had razor blades that would last that long, what would become of the men who make wages by making NEW razor blades? Why. they would starve, of course. Either that or go on relief, and lose their self-respect. AS FOR suits of clothe, that can be stretched out a foot from the body and then .napped back, who wants them? A suit of clothe, that will look like a suit of clothes ought to for about a year, and then can be replaced by a new and more modern-looking ault, la Infinitely better.

Communications Mr. Barnea Answer Critic. To the Editor: Under our proposal ft non-resident owner of real estate would not be directly relieved of any taxea by our measure. Onlv resident home owners occupying the property would have J an exemption or tax credit. Increased prosperity and a more general collec tion of taxea because of the relief (Poll detail, of Vlck. Colds-Control Plan in uch Vick. package) tills measure would bring to horn, owners would eventuelly make some reduction In general property tax pos sible. Answering w. B. DavU and R- Heg ner: Zn considering the proposed meas ure a sale, tax In lieu of the present tax (ssle. tax) on 'shelter the public should be given a real photograph of the "brain child" and not a fake picture of a atraw man branded "Barnea' brain child." R, Hegner writes "State expenses should not In the least come directly out of the pockets of Infants, children, laborera, etc., a. Mr. Barnea would have lt. Do Infanta, children and laborera have to have shelter? So they have to buy thla shelter? Do they pay an unfair sum for state, county and school ex penses when they now buy shelter? When a working man buys shelter 1. lt, or Is It not. Just as much a commodity and necessity a. food or clothes? If we, who would relieve the burden of the working man from taxation, can take $45 taxes off this necessity shelter by placing an (18 tax on hla other necessities, Is this working man benefited or not? He will pay lesa taxea, not more. In considering this act we must consider the purpose beck of It and that purpose Is especially to relieve the family man who must pay out all his Income for living expenses from some of his present burden or taxation. Money spent excess ex penditures that la expenditures above, we will say. $900 living ex penses, does Indicate ability to pay taxes and should be taxed. In levying a aales tax we cannot segregate and exempt these expendlturea for com modities so we tax all expenditures, but provide for an offset In the way of a shelter tax credit, or return to correct thla error. Regarding the exemption of all real estate from taxation we cannot sub scribe to such a proposal, shelter value In property should be exempted from taxation, but excess value In property should be taxed, not un fairly, not to the point of confisca tion, but all excess holdings In prop erty should be subject to a fair direct tax. Otherwise one man could buy up a whole county and turn It into a private game reserve If he eo de sired and hold It aa his own private property indefinitely without taxa tion. If a gasoline tax was raised for the purpose of exempting office buildings In Portland from taxation we would rightly protest the tax. So when we consider this salea tax proposal we must consider the purpose back ot lt, which la to exempt shelter from tnxation. J. O. BARNES. Medford, Nov. 14. Opposed to Barnes Plan. To the Editor: It la impossible for me to agree with the general outline offered by Mr. Barnes In hi article of November 8 in regard to the renter under his proposed sales tax. Mr. Barnes state that "those who are able to buy homes, and do not, have ability to pay taxes on money spent and should be so taxed." They are taxed! More so than the one who owns his home. The home owner merely pays the taxes, assessment and upkeep on his property, but the renter must pay enough to cover all these cost, and a little more for profit to the owner. In good times he would pay considerably more to the owner for profit. Otherwise, me living expenses of one who rents and one who owns property are the same. Why, then, should the renter be addi tionally taxed through a sales tax and the home owner be relieved? According to Mf. Barnes, the unem ployed renter would be aided by this act. He would be one of the three chief tax payers under the aales tax. He would be paying a tax to help re lieve unemployment of which he Is ft part. The unemployed renter Is In a predicament. His rent 1 past due, hla family Is not properly fed then, there looms a tax which will further rob him of hla food. Why have thla tax fall on the renter who already pays his tax when he pay rent? Here we have 47 per cent or tne families of the state paying the taxes for the other 53 per cent. Is this Just and equitable taxation? Mr. Barnea would have Us believe that this tax would help the home owner and also the renter. In other word lt would help everyone. Are we In our second childhood, hearing fairy tales again? He would provide the unemployed renter with a Job. The renter with ft Job would buy ft home. Every one would be & home owner. Then where would the revenue come from to sup port the school and other govern mental functions. The property tax would cease to be a substantial source of Income under thla plan. But I believe that when such a condition were brought about that the exemp tion would be taken off and we would then have the same old plan of a sales tax which the voters so over whelmingly voted down. Do you suppose that If this tax were put into effect and worked ac cording to Mr. Barnea' belief that It would boom the real estate business? It 1 perfectly worked out In theory. but lt would never work out In reality. We must get at the basic causes of unemployment and overcome these conditions before anything of ft con structive nature can be brought about. HAROLD BARTON. Medford, November 13.
