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 see no reason why you should not reduce the ratt of Inter
est ob your long term government bond, to 3i4 peroent or leu,
with favorable repercussions on the who's bond market. If only
the federal reserve system would replace Its present holdings of
ahort dated treasury' Issues by purchasing long dated Issues In
exchange. Such a policy might become effective in a few
months, and I attach great Importance to It.
With these adaptations or enlargements of your existing poll
cles Z should expect a successful outcome with great confidence.
How much that would mean, not only to the material prosperity
of the United States and the whole world, but In comfort to
men's minds through a restoration of their fal'.h In the wisdom

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."

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

It Is as It should be Just a little

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

In the field of domestic policy, I put In the forefront, for
the reasons given above, a large volume of loan expenditure
tinder government ausplcet. It Is beyond my province to choose
particular object of expenditure. But preference should be
given to those which can be made to mature quickly on a large
svale. as for example the rehabilitation of the physical condition
of the railroads. The object la to start the ball rolling.
The United States Is ready to roll toward prosperity. If a good
hard shove can be given In the next six months. Could not th
energy and enttuialasm which launched th NRA in Its early
days be put behind a campaign for accelerating capital expendi
tures, as wisely chosen as the pressure of circumstances permits.
You can at least feel sure that the country will be better en
riched by auch projects than by th involuntary Idleness of
millions.
I put In the second place the malntenare or cheap and

They want to be permitted to make

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.

Notes.
You might think from the current
cigar gift debate that the price on
bribery have hit a new low not so.
It is usual for business men to give
a box of cigars to government of
ficials occasionally or at Chrlstma
time for small favors performed. If
you wanted any important favors,
you would need more than a box of
cigars.
The Morgenthau-for-Woodin switch
in the treasury department was noth
ing new. The White House knew
when Woodln left that he would not
be back, but a definite break was de
layed until the new year for pub
licity purpose.
New dealers are anxiously awaiting
two Important decision from the su
preme court. One Is on th Minne
sota mortgage case and the other the
New York milk case. Both involve
fundamental administration theories
on those two aubjects and the de
cisions may give the first inkling a
to how the court stand on the New
Deal.
