The legislature In lta thirst-quench. Ing, Job-providing, and tax-relieving enactments, completely forgot the Old Polka. With typical political skull duggery they paaaed on to agencies, that have no money, and no meana of furnishing money, the problem of procuring funds for the Old Age Pen alona. The house passed a bill to provide funds. The senate, many of whose members are now clandestinely running for governor, talked learless ly about It. but adjourned without ..in Th.mfnT t.he Old Polka are not protected, but the Chinese pheaa- j ants are. One of the first mils con aldered was to keep the Chinese pheasants from getting shot in 1034. Evidently the hunters have more votea. and are better organized than the aged.

CUMMINGS has an. in- teresting article in the current Liberty on "How can you 'prevent crime." Every word of particularly enthusiastic about sions, for they conincide exactly with our own. The greatest single obstacle to checking the crime wave lies in the refusal of the legal profession to clean its own house the complacency with which the various bar associations pass reso lutions, advocating judicial and court reform and then do nothing about it. Even more reprehensible is the refusal of the profcsHion to disbar the shyster lawyers, who resort to every trickery and dishonest subterfuge, to free criminals, particu larly the rich and powerful ones who line their pockets with gold, who are in fact criminals themselves, merely using their profession &b a smoke screen behind which they can operate, without fear of prosecution. Second the author places the need of laws which would pre vent the sale of deadly weapons, without care or discrimination, to all who wish to buy them; and third the necessity of an aroused and militant public opinion, in favor of court reform, and unyielding in its fight against organized crime. Mr. Cummings a lawyer himself and the head of the legal department of the government, admits that the courts and legal procedure as at present constituted, instead of checking organ ized crime encourage it. Certainly a startling admission from a man in his position. But he concludes: The law need not remain the tool of the criminal a day longer than the public desires. The purging of the bar to elimi nate the unscrupulous lawyer cannot be done by the public alone. The unscrupulous lawyer need not remain the tool of the criminal a day longer than the legal profession desires. It Is up to the lawyers themselves to drive out those scavengers who disgrace their profession. The American Bar association haa been making harole effort! to stimulate Its grievance committees to take drastic action. The disbarment of the shyster lawyer would be a heavy blow to gangdom. The NRA Is trying to get Industry to discipline Itself. The legal profession also needs self -discipline. Disbarment that Is to say, cancellation of a lawyer's right to praotlco his profession Is a simple and direct weapon of attack against the racketeer. It should be used unsparingly. The legal profession should be given a chance to reform and purge Itself. In this work It can depend upon the support and assistance of the de partment of justice. In summation. I firmly believe that the department of Jus tice, with the help of all law-abiding and well thinking citizens, is In a position to smash the American racketeer In his organized war against American society If our legislators can agree to prevent the sale of deadly weapons to the criminals. If our lawyers can agree to Interpret their professional duty as being to safeguard the rights of the accused rather than to thwart the punishment of the guilty, and If our newspapers and our business men and citizens generally will stand up vigorously for their right to be protected against criminals. The war against predatory crime can be won In no other way. It la a real war, a war that must be fought to a finish by the weapons of democracy If life and property are to be secure In our country. It is a war In which we must all take part. It has been said that popular government la organized self control. That Is the kind of government our forefathers set up. If we are to pass It on to our children we cannot Ignore our duty to enlist In the war against crime. The Indifference of the American public and the laxity of aome of our public officials are, when all Is said and done, con tributing causes of racketeering and organized crime. Police forces are only peace-time soldiers of the nation. They must obey the orders of their auperlora the public and its of ficials and be loyal to their duty, in return, the police are entitled to the active support of all honest citizens. If the American people are determined to do their part In smashing the racketeer, they should select officials who will unfailingly do theirs. With loyalty and the will to win operating all along the line, the victory over organized crime cannot be long delayed. Certainly1 with the government thus committed to court re form and an aggreNsive and uncompromising war upon organ ized crime, it would seem, that during the present administra tion, something definite and far reaching to make this country isnfe for the law abiding citizen, can, at last, be donel Shameful! WILL wonders never cease ! The Portland Journal justifying its opposition to the new sales tax, accuses the proponents of such a tax as being enemies of the public schools. Says the Journal: "And so the Oregon schools are left to starve for thla year. It la a situation to be widely regretted. The schools are the bulwark of self government. The classrooms and the teachers In charge are the fortresses of liberty. They are the safeguard of the nation. How unfortunate that In Oregon the schools are to be sacrificed for a year In order to soak the public with a salea taxi" Now in all seriousness can anyone beat thatt This new sales tax was passed SOLELY TO SAVE THE SCHOOLS, all the i revenue from it will GO to the schools. It was advocated by ' parent-teachers associations, by county school administrations, by school boards. One of its strongest supporters was our own I superintendent of schools, E. H. Hedrick, who is not only one Jof the most competent educators in the state, but certainly has the cause of the public school system more closely at heart, than any other resident of Southern Orogon. And YET the Journal would accuse HIM, and thousands of citizens like hira with being an enemy of the public schools, a traitor in the ranks of education seeking to tear down what the Journal Bays is the very "bulwark of self government." IJOW unfortunate INDEED 1 This measure was passed by the legislature, if allowed to become law, its revenues will be turned over to the schools in !)0 duys, that is by March. The completion of the school year will then be certain not only here but everywhere else in the state. But the Journal and its supporters, have instituted a referen dum against the measure, they insist upon holding it up for a popular vote, preventing the schools from receiving this sorely , needed aid, until May or June and if they can play their po litical cards successfully, not even TIfLN. And now this Journal, this newspaper doing everything it CAN to defeat school aid has the inexpressible GALL to claim it is the friend and protector of the public school system, and those who are trying, in the only to prevent disaster to the schools, are its enemies I AVhnt can be done with a newspaper like that t ' 3000 Shoe Makers Receive Pay Boost NASHUA.

DRIVING WHILE UNDER THE I So far we have had no response to the cb!I we broadcasted here for a simple yet fairly accurate test of in toxication, if any chemist knows of an agent which would Indicate the presence of alcohol In the air the s u s p e o t breathes thru It, the chemist pre- .V'sdaF1 knowled8e secret. I Vw""' As there la no and no medical definition of In toxication, I pro pose this as a fair teat: if alcohol Is being excreted thru the lungs, that Is in the expired air, It proves the Individual has taken more alcohol than he can oxidize or utilize, and surely that constitutes Intoxication by any reasonable standard. Whether Intoxication Is Increasing I am not prepared to say. But the frequency of police calls to apprehend drunken drlvera or to pick up drunks la striking when one listens In on the police radio broadcast. In London, where plain drunken ness Is not so very remarkable, they are now arresting persons who drive an automobile while under the in fluence of Insulin. For instance, a man with a good record aa a driver drove his car at extraordinarily alow ' speed between two lines of traffic and collided with three other vehicles on the off side. (That, you know. Is the driver's right side the English are funny that way.) Drlvera of the other cara were bally Indignant and one or two of them so far forgot the traditions as to shout at the bl the bally awss. The fellow might have gotten away wlth.lt, at that, If he had had the forethought to equip his car with one of those complimentary Police or Fire emblems which are so much affected by the upper classes In this country. But he Just kept blithely bouncing along until he encountered a station ary van, and thence he skidded to a standstill on the pavement. When the bobbles reached the man he was In a dazed condition, alllio the injured drivers had not laid a hand on him. They're funny that way In England. The fellow seemed only partly con scious of what was said t him. Yet he waa certainly not drunk. He had diabetes and the police surgeon cer tified that he was under the Influ ence of Insulin and unfit to drive a car. A medical expert, an authority on diabetes, was called and this phy sician testified that the patient here again they re funny across the water. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NEW YORK, Dec. 13. A week at the Palace, once the goal of every vaudeville artist, Is today merely seven days ol ghostly memories lor old-timers. 80 many unhappy recollections they would rather be routed elsewhere. Wings that flut tered with "ner vea" are now static aa the mor gue. Sunday open ing bills at the Palace were so expectancy that the contagious tin gle swept to audiences. Al Jolson. who fears premieres with unreason able terror, never played the Palace. Ed wynn's voice would flute off Into a real squesk opening there. Today the Palace la a family the ater and doing fairly well. But the four-a-day monotony offers no In spiration for the delightful ad-llbblng of yore. Everything la mechanically timed to the split second. ' The best they allow a "plffawmer" who wowa 'cm, la a hurried bow. The old Palace doorman Is at Music Hall.

Joan Crawford does not seem to have mastrred the technique of In difference to the public accolade. When the crowds congealed about her wherever ahe apprared on her New York visit, she stood tremulously poised as though seeking aome ave nue for flight.

A couple I know have three children. One child has pale blue eyes, the other two have brown eyes, and the parents both have brown eyes. (H. P, I P.) - ! Answer AH eyes are "blue" at I birth that la, they have only a mini mum amuuot ot pigment in mo Irises, the colored rings around the black central pupil. The pigment of the Iris Is brown to all Instances. If there la little pigment, people say the eyes are blue. If more pigment, the eyes are called "grey." If still more, "brown." The most Intensely pig mented Irises are caUed "black." Aa a general rule the eye color of chil dren Is not lighter than the eyes of the parents, but there are plenty of exceptions to the rule.

Irvln Cobb In dedicating his moat recent mystery novel to Major Ray mond Dickson of Houston, Texas, sent first copy off the press to the major. The day It arrived, Cobb re ceived from Dickson a no-regard-for-expense telegram, three pages long. It dripped with the honeyed senti ment of an old and deathless friend ship, beautifully glowing with memo ries of nights around the campflre after the hunt, of their blissful days of fishing along clear streams In old Mexico, Canada and the Major's na tive Texas. When Cobb laid the tele gram down his eyes shone with sus picious mist. Two hours later as he was lidding his typewriter, there came another telegram from the major. Brief and to the point.

The bills are rotten to the core, but when clothed In pos sible pleasant results, many people overlook the faults of such measures and look only at the accomplished end. Mr. GUI, however, looka a lit tle deeper Into these bills than the average person, and sees their true nature which most people do not understand.

Box 388. Medford, December IS. 4 WASHINGTON. Dec. 14. (4, President Roosevelt today appointed William T. Mahoney of Ketchikan to he marshal for the first division of . Alaska, Comment on4he Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. THE special session of the legisla ture, In- lta 30 working ' days, passed laws affecting four major prob lems, as follows: 1. Liquor control. 9, Sales tax. 8. Bus control. 4. Unemployment relief. FOUR important problems, all clamoring for solution fully war ranting a apeclal session of the legis lature; whose members made honest efforts to solve them. How effective these efforts will be, only time can tell. THE liquor control device finally chosen was state ownership and management of the hard liquor busi ness, the Idea being to remove pri vate) profit from the liquor traffic o far as this state la concerned. In this way. It la hoped, the evils that formerly existed will J be les sened. A WORTHY hope "whether or not It will be realized, only time and experience can tell. This writer hopes It will, but hasn't much confidence. The way to find out, however, la to try. . ' THE sales tax" re -enacted by the legislature In a somewhat different form, haa been once heavily beaten by 'he people. Hence, a lot of people tell us, It shouldn't be tried again. THIS writer can't agree to that. State taxation of incomes, which most reasonable people now concede to be fair and Just, was tried some EIGHT TIMES before the principle was finally adopted. So why shouldn't we go on voting on the salea tax? BUS control, fundamentally, la an effort on the part of the rail roads to put their competitors, the buses and trucks, out of business, or at least hamper them to the point where they will no longer be dan gerous as competitors. The bus and truck bill passed at the regular session of the legislsture last winter came close to doing that, and bitter complaint arose. The new bill, passed by the special session, la a compromise effort to soften the harshness of the old one. Whether it will work also remains to be seen. IP YOU are interested in thla writer's j views on bus and truck control, here they are: - Buses and trucks should be taxed. They should be reasonably regulated. They should be made to live up to their responsibilities, as a new form of transportation. But they SHOULDN'T be legislsted out of business. We dont want to turn CONTROL OF TRANSPORTA TION back to the railroads. We suffered too much when they had complete control of It. THERE la no argument as to un- I employment relief. It has to be provided. The only argument Is about finding the money. j Liquor control and the sales tax, two of the four principal measures enacted by the legislature, have as their primary purpose FINDING THE MONEY with which to provide un employment relief. That la why the special session waa called. 0 Sams Valley SAMS VALLEY. Dec. 14. (Spl.) Ladles club met Thursday afternoon with Mrs. O. W.
