M il A, Vtr .ar Ye Smudge Pot Bj Artuui Perry don't believe the people of this state want the return of the old time saloon. We don't believe they want the return of competition for private profit in the sale of hard liquor, which would revive one of the chief abuses of the saloon, solidifying the liquor interests in a drive to increase their sales of hard liquor, regardless of the moral consequences. Yet the drive for home rule in the matter of municipal liquor regulation, if successful, could have no bther ultimate result. Any uniform system of liquor control in this state would be impossible. There would be as many different and conflicting systems as there are municipalities, a hopelessly hodge-podge and demoralizing situation. And with the chief aim of this home rule, an effort to in crease liquor revenues for the local community, a return of the high license system, with scores of competing liquor stores, could scarcely be avoided. Call the resulting situation what you will, it would be in FACT a return of the conditions which flourished when the saloon reigned, and the liquor interests virtually controlled local governments. IF the Knox plan of state liquor control is unconstitutional that fact can be quickly determined. No one can criticize an ef fort to secure this decision at the earliest possible moment. If the plan is upheld then it should be put into operation at once and be given a thorough trial, this home rule obsession for gotten. If the plan should be thrown out, then some other plan will have to be adopted, and it should be adopted with the least possible delay. BUT, that plan ii the opinion of this newspaper should certainly embody two important principles. ' First, a uniform system of state liquor control ; and second, the elimination of private competitive profit, from the hard liquor business. Any plan which does not do these two things, in our opinion, will be doomed to failure, and merely hasten the day when the people of this state, disgusted with the avarice and stupidity of anti-prohibition leadership, will return Oregon once and for all, to the bone dry column.

I IXs' KI2YNES seriously questions the practical value of the " NRA. He feels that it places the cart before the horse. It is essentially reform, an effort to reduce incomes by increas ing wages, not only the rate per hour, but the number of employees. Better, he believes, to FIRST let business go ahead naturally, be allowed to make normal profits, and AFTER the industrial machine has been put in order so to speak, then en force regulations, looking toward a more equitable distribution of the profits. He favors the aim of NRA, but he wants it ; enforced after business improves not before. In other words he would oppose rising prices at the expense of rising output. To quote : "The stimulation of output by Increasing aggregate purchas ing power is the right way to get prlcea up, and not the other way round." To INCREASE purchasing power he would concentrate upon the publio works program. He does not blame Secretary Ickes for being cautious and careful. But the risks of less speed, he believes, must be weighed against those of more haste. As he expresses it we "must get across the crevasses before it is dark."

The final fade out had been by the hy po s t atlc pneu monia or pulmo nary edema, ac cording to the green ticket the gentleman wore wtivn ne arrived at our laboratory. We explained that hypostatic pneumonia" Is a misnomer, for the condition Is not Inflammation of the lung at all, but merely congestion. settling of blood In the lowest parts of chest and lungs from general ex haustion and especially failure of the circulation, the heart. This Is a com mon terminal condition In many pro longed Illnesses. Indeed, hypostatic congestion of the lungs is never ac cepted as a cause of death; the health authorities Insist on entering the primary or direct cause of death In the certificate. It seems that one doctor character ized the fade out as hypostatic "pneu monia" and another as "pulmonary edema." So the apparent conflict of medical opinion got the poor gentle man's widow all upset and she packed up the body and shipped it to this column for pathological examination. Or rather she Just wrote and told the old duffer who conducts this column all about It, as she understood it, and asked him to tell her what's what. No matter whether the terminal condition was hypostatic congestion or edema It carried the gentleman to his reward In Just two hours, and aside from some distress of which he complained, soreness first In the hypogaatrlum (If you've ever traveled south of the equator) and later In the hypochondrlum (which I think I shall leave you to find for yourself and you may as well notice while you're looking It up that the word, for some Inscrutable reason, la pro nounced hlp-o, while hypogaatrlum It Is as It should be Just a little catch to make dictionaries sell, 1 sup pose). Anyway .hypostatic conges tion of the lungs or pulmonary edema Is not a bad way to go. In either case the consciousness soon becomes obtunded and the victim does not suffer nor struggle, Just drifts oft to oblivion. The labored breathing, per haps In C hey ne-Stokes rhythm or type, perhaps stertorous, to the con trary notwithstanding. Well I hate to admit It, both doc tors were right, or near enough so that the difference of terms doesn't matter. Edema of the lungs means that, as a consequence of congestion, serum exudes from the overfilled blood vessels Into the lung tissue and into the air cells. More or less edema accompanies hypostatic congestion. The symptoms produced and . the signs the doctor elicits by examina tion, are practically Identical In hypo static congestion and In pulmonary edema. The primary causes are the same, and treatment Is the same, so far as I know. So It Is Immaterial whether the condition be called pul monary edema or hypostatic conges tion. But we ought to censure the doc tor who called It hypostatic "pneu monia." The implied intent of that Is to evade stating the primary cause of dath. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Dentists Please Msten. A friend practicing a branch of surgery has his office in a profes sional building. Repeatedly he has seen untoward reaction to novocaine or other local anesthetics used by dentists in the building. He advises all dentists to give along with the novocaine or other local anesthetic a moderate dose of sodltim amytal, per haps l'i grains. This promotes de sirable amnesia and prevents un toward effects from the local anes thetic. Be Your Age. I am 48 but I look and feel 60. I nm not a great believer in miracles.

"Why should the railroads want to do such a thing?" IlELL, they want to do It In or- TT der to compete with the boats The boats, you see, reach Portland, but DON'T reacth Spokane. The railroads SAY they want to make low rates to water terminals In order to get for themselves share of the business that moves by water. In reality, they want to crip ple their competitors, the boats, all they can by making rates that will get a share of the normal water haul, and they want to make the Interior cities bear the cost of doing It. They want to be permitted to make the rate TOO HIGH In the Interior in order to be able to make It TOO LOW at the water terminal where they come Into competition with the boats. SOUTHERN ORGEON should fight with all the strength It pos sesses against this effort on the part of the railroads to regain permission to charge more for a short haul than for a long one. Southern Oregon has a peculiar grievance against the railroads. Along with northern California, It is the only region In the United States where the railroads are STILL permitted to charge more for i short haul than for a long one. As long as the law specifically for bids auch a practice, which la sanc tioned only by exceptions to the rule, Southern Oregon has a chance, If It fights hard enough and kicks up enough of a disturbance, to get this discriminatory system of rate mak ing done away with. But If the law Is CHANGED to permit definitely the making of lower rate for a longer haul than for a shorter haul, Southern Oregon's and Northern California's chances of securing rate Justice will be utterly gone. a the death this proposal to go back to the old system of letting the railroads charge more for a short haul than for a long one, which la designed to make the helpless In terior pay the cost of competing with the boats.

LONDON (UP) Sterilization of mental defectives and the mentally diseased in Great Britain ha been the subject of close study for many month by a government departmen tal committee. The committee are reported to be satisfied that an effective method of sterilization can be adopted which is painless and can be practiced with out any risk to the life or general health of the patient. The Minister of Health shortly will receive tfhe com mittee's recommendations. Among the countries which now have legalized sterilization, the com mittee paid particular attention to the system in operation In Switzer land. The Swiss method of elimin ating the mentally defective ha been carried out on a voluntary basis since 1879. For only a few years was It found necessary to use compulsion. Professor Han Mater informed the Investigator when they visited the Zurich Mental Hospital, that the Swiss methods do not Interfere with the sex life of the patient, and that the right application of them makes It possible to avoid hurting the men tally sick, "at the same time confer ring a great service on society." Large families are the rule, rather than the exception, among the men tally unfit, according to statistic. Prison populations would be reduced enormously if they were cleared of mentally subnormal Inmate. In a very large number of cases. it was revealed, requests have been made by mentally defective people who desired to have no more chil dren. Under the present law these have had to be denied. The committee are said to be of the opinion that the time is right to change this condition, and they prob ably will recommend a trial period of the voluntary system for a few years. Should the results warrant It after the probationary period, compulsory sterilization would be applied to all cases of mental disease which might be transmitted to the children of the patient.
