T IS highly important that politics be kept strictly out of the new state liqnor administration. In fact an efficient business-like administration, rather than a POLITICAL administra tion, is imperative. ' If various positions and emoluments, in the state-wide set up are given out as political rewards, then turning the entire liquor administration, into a political machine will be impos sible to avoid. And such an outcome will be fatal. Only one thing should govern appointments from top to bottom in this new liquor deal, namely the fitness of the applicant for the position, re gardless of all other considerations. Is he honest, is he dependable, can he do the job well; above all, can he .be depended upon to resist the temptation that will inevitably be placed upon him, to disregard the spirit and letter of the new law t From what we can learn of the characters of the three com missioners appointed,, this will be the policy pursued. We cer tainly hope so. They have a big job on their hands and only by hewing strictly to the line of strict enforcement and sound business methods, can they expect to make a success of it. 'THE appointment of the right man for state administrator is particularly important. For upon him will rest the chief responsibility, for the success or failure of .this entire experiment." The personnel of the minor administrative of ficials should be satisfactory to him; and their-loyalty to their chief executive should be unquestioped. Under such a program this liquor organization would rep resent an organic unit, sound in efficiency and high in morale, which would go far toward achieving what all right thinking people wish, -a more satisfactory solution of the liquor prob lem, than, has ever been attained before. 1 Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.D. Signed letter, pertaining to perianal health and hygiene not to dl ease diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady If a itamped velf-addreued envelope li enclosed.

It refers to the chorus girl type, playing the eternal game of sex, solely for the money there is in it. We don't know how many books have been written and movies composed, around the gold digger theme, but a very great number. The gender of the term, however, has been reversed. A few A "social revolution" la now under way In the United States, according I to Sen. Johnson.

States, the land of "silk and money," swarming with wealthy movie stars and chain store heiresses was selected, as the happy hunting ground. One of them mar ried Mary McCormack, the glittering prima donna; another grabbed Mae Murray, cinema star; but the "kid" Alexis, really made the ten strike, by capturing Miss Barbara Huttou, the ten-and-twenty millionairess, after pursuing her hither and yon, over two continents. XTOTbad for the Mdivani boys! True, the first two ro- mances didn't last long. But who wanted them tot One bright day Mary and' Mae, oelebrated their divorces by attend ing the races at Agua Caliente, but they paid for it. In plain English, Serge and David, after living in the royal luxury to which they, were accustomed, were Fa'd their alimonies, and resumed the primrose path in search of other victims. They had their trousseaus, far from shabby, and such essentials as i polo ponies, pearl stick pins, custom-built motor cars, etc., etc., galore. 'They also had oil stocks, from which they promptly proceeded to produce needed revenues. . . THEN something happened. In the production of those revenues, it developed that cash, which should have gone to oompany reserves, or dividonds, went into the pockets of the Brothers Mdivani, as bonuses. The brothors had learned something about the methods of high finance in the land of the spree and the home of the crave. An indictment for grand theft followed. COR a moment the jail doors yawned. But ONLY a moment. Whatever may be said against the Brothers Mdivani, they are loyal, to EACH OTHER. Serge in his marital affluence had financed the "kids" pursuit of Barbara with $20,000 of. Mae's or was it Mary'st savings. So faithful to the royal tradition of noblesse oblige, Alex promptly telegraphed $20,000 of Barbara's millions to Los Angeles, to provide bail for the brothers. Now they are out and the Hollywood night clubs, are graced by their royal and alluring presences once more. No doubt a rich field for some heavy moralizing is herewith presented. But we don't know just what the moral is, except, Well, there is no longer much question as to the equality of the sexes. We have gold diggers who wear trousers and gold diggers who don't; while that familiar saying of the late and lamented Texas Guinan, "Hollo Huckcr," can certainly be as successfully capitalized against one sex in this country, as the other. tor a good lawyer. ... "WAYS THAT ARE DARK" (Heppner News) O. B. Hamaker of Portland, a guest of the club declared him self a democrat and has been called the wet nurse of the party In Multnomah county. Mr. Hamaker gave a talk along pol itical lines and said ha would hesitate to forecast the political situation of Oregon.

About 30 years ago. th, state sup rrn court held the Eight Hour Law constitutional. People who think the Bales Tax will flatten out civilization, progress, and the future ot th, Cau casian race, should read some of the fervid moans that decision caused, and take hope.

YOU TEI.L HER, DOCKI (Boise, Ida., Statesman) Mrs, Josephine Brtater waa struck by an automobile. Dr. Ounn waa summoned and took her to the nospual. After a good bath ah, felt better and waa able to go home. She now wanta to know who struck her In th, mid die of the pike. Some of tha method of treatment which I recommend to the public have been harshly criticized or con demned by oar tain "authori ties." For that reason I have ex. tolled those methods before varloua medical societies and ask ed members to let me know What, experience they have had with the new methods. I have observed consid erable diffidence on the part of doctors who have nad auch experience. They seem to be Intimidated by the loud-mouth brass surgeons or specialists who condemn anything new that doesn't conform with traditional theories or practice. Sometimes I wish I could afford to run a want ad from week to week, worded like this: Wanted Physician of good standing, not over ninety years old, who is. competent to give such and such modern treat ment for so and so. Mention your clinical training and your' experience with the method. Confidential, In that way I believe Z might com pile a more comprehensive medical directory of North America for my special service to readers. I thought It was difficult enough getting such data when I began pro moting the chemical obliteration of varicose veins three years ago. But that new departure became the ac cepted method for varicose veins in a few years despite the sneers and the theorletlcal objections raised by the self-constituted "authorities." When the dlarthermy method of extirpating tonsils came along, the brass throat especial 1st put up a determined re sistance and the compilation of my roster of physicians skilled in that method was slow work. Quite often i 1 learned of a doctor using the new method successfully only through the casual mention of his name by one of his patients who happened to write And there's a curious fact. People write enthusiastic encomiums about the diathermy method for the tonsils without any mention of the name of the physician who gave the treat ment. But when people are obsessed by some kind of quackery they dwell on the quack's name and refer only vaguely If at all to the method of treatment. Since I began recommending the ambulant treatment of hernia to the public I huve encountered extreme difficulty In learning of physicians who are qualified to give this treat ment. I attribute this to two fac tors. First, the brass surgeons have a kind of corner on the treatment of hernia anyway; for up to the re cent past the radical operation has been the only satisfactory method. Second, people generally, know that the reputable physicians have noth tng other than operation to offer the rupture sufferer, and so the majority of these victims consult physicians only when some complication makes medical attention Imperative. As rule they fool - with rupture cure quacks and mall-order fakers In the vain hope of finding cure or lastlvig relief. Some doctors, thank heaven, do their own thinking, Just as some housekeepers do their own house keeping. These doctors who have the independence and courage to think for themselves are the ones who in vestigate, learn and adopt modern ad vances or improvements in methods of treatment.

Comment on the ' Day's Nezvs By PRANK JENKINS. Governor Meier Is heralded aa "a better governor than expected, but h, ; C"TARY of Agriculture Wallet, can't be elected." The Governor has O addressing th. National Perm Bu- been a better Oovernor than expected, and If he will give tree phonee, with hla late free electrlo lights, will be elected anew. ... What was It, that made such a hit with th, population, on the vacant lot back ol Tom Waterman's? ... Cultivation of farmers for their votes by farm leaders who do no fsrm. Ing more sever then eating Orange fried chicken shows a decline. The farmer, are weaning themsclvre away from false and demagogic exploltere, and showing a disposition to do their own thinking. J addressing th. National Farm Bu reau Convention at Chicago, says: "Th, farmer should look upon the agricultural recovery plan with a broad viewpoint, rather than with a gar confined to local problems." THAT advice 1 esay to glr. but sometimes HARD TO FOLLOW, For exempts: The processing U on various farm products la supposed to be added to th prlos and so passed on to the consumer, providing th money with which to PAY th, farmer for reduc tion of supply. But her In Southern Oregon the procraalng tag on pork has so tsr been TAKEN OFF the prlc received by th, farmer, thus REDUCING the prlc received by him. IT WORKS Ilk, this: Th, buyer says to himself: "There Is a processing tax on pork. But II I try to pass this tax on to th, con sumer in th, form ot a higher price I will encounter a lot of troublesome sales resistance. "So I'll TAKE THE TAX OFF th prlc paid to the farmer, because h can't help himself, sine h, haa to sell: thus avoiding th, necessity of raising th prlc to th consumer and at th same llm ssving myself from loss." - a THE procea.lng tax on pork In No- OW let's see how that will work out. Portland la th, principal market ing point for Southern Oregon hogs. The freight cost of getting hogs to Portland from down hr la around halt a cant per pound, which means that th grower gets about a half cent per pound under the Portland quotation. ASSUMING that the prlc win average somewhere around five cant at Portland, the deductions, ad ding th tax, the prlc variations and th freight, would look something Ilk this: December, 14 cents, leaving a prlc to the grower of S3 33 a hundred: January, cota, leaving a prlc of 3.7S and tor February and after 9i cents, leaving a prlc of 2 3S a hundred. It doesnt take much study to see that such a situation will totally de stroy the Southern Oregon hog In dustry. THE processing 'tax on pork la de signed to help th corn belt, and It probably will help back ther. where they have a big surplus. But out here on the Coast we produce only half as many hogs aa we con sume, and DONT WANT to reduce our production. j Th way It la working out so far, 'it locks very much now aa If this new processing tax win utterly de- stroy our hog Industry and compel us to Import ALL our pork from the Middle West. 4 WHAT shall wlo about lt Well, Secretary Wallace gav us a cue th other day when he said: "It's th squeaky wheel thst gets the grease." ' The first thing to do la to put up a frightful kick about th way this precasing tax la working out for us. Phon 541 w. will tiaul away youi NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NEW YORK. Dec. 15.
