Keep Politics Out of It!
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.

THE term gold-digger is generally accepted as feminine. It

the gold digger theme, but a very great number.

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

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

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.

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.
