The proposed establishment of a
Nudist colony on the Oregon coast,
is a very fine Idea. It should prosper,
due to the well known Oregonlan
trait of Joining anything once no
matter how nutty. At the same time,
It will give a large proportion of the
upstate population something to do,
when not running for office. Besides

O. Strang, the pioneer pllllst, la
celebrating 10 years in business here.
Ho recalls many vivid Incidents of
hla career, Including the time, 30
years ago, that a "business engineer"
surveyed him, and brought in a ver
dict that he lacked "aggressive effici
ency." Mr. Strang can't remember
the exact date In March, 1684, he
opened tor business, but still retains
the kev tn tha frnnt riiwr A.I.4. rmm

The gubernatorial aspirations of
Mayor Mahoncy of Klamath Falls,
were slightly gummed up by the ln-dlct-nent
of three of his police ap
pointments, Including the chief of
police, for diverting charity funds for
his campaign gadding, and to buy
him a wrlstwatch. The mayor has
been described as "colorful." It's all
right to be colorful, but don't get
caught at It, or be too much so. The
"color" waa furnished by the three
accused, but the self-starting Demo
cratic candidate received the benefits,
and the wrlstwatch. He waa quite
"colorful" after the newa became
public, and waa considerably cha
grined at the cooking of his political
goose, on such short notice. It will
probably come out that the sad event
was Just some more plotting by the
"power trust." Mr. Mahoney haa fre
quently reported to the voters that
the "moneyed interests" were chasing
him. it Is too bad they did not catch
him. The campaign war chest would
be full, the three policemen would
still be on their beats, and the char
ity fund would be Intact. The hero
would have no wrlstwatch, but he
would have no explaining to do. It
all goes to prove that Jackson county

COMEONE has been spoofing the eminent Dr. 'William A. Wirt
of Gary, Indiana,
A few daya ago Dr. Wirt announced that raen'bera of Roose
velt's brain trust were boring from within to foment a com
munistic revolution, and that in the opinion of one of the brain
trustors Roosevelt is the Kerensky to be followed by a Stalin.
Such a charge, of course, is palpably absurd.
yHERE may be THEORETICAL communists among the brain
trusters, you can find them scattered here and there among
the American intelligenzia, in all parts of the country.
It is even possible that some
did PRIVATELY make the statement that in his opjnion Roose
velt would prove to be the
revolution. If so, the statement was purely academic. t
But that is very different from declaring that the brain
trusters are boring from within
tion, and plotting to oust President Roosevelt and replace him
with a Stalin,
TriE brain trusters are undoubtedly an advanced and realistic
group of thinkers. They realize that the socalled New Deal
is another "noble experiment" which may or may not, prove
successful in bringing this country out of its tailspin.
But we feel sure there is no question of the loyalty of the
brain trusters to the president, or the sincerity of their efforts,
to make his administration a success, both from the standpoint
of regaining prosperity and of sustaining the capitalistic system.
We know nothing about Dr. Wirt except that he is the origi
nator and successful administrator of the Gary public school sys
tem. But when all the facts are known, we wager it will be
evident to all thinking people, that the erudite doctor has had
his leg pulled by some man, or group of men, with a political
axe to grind.
FINDING a brain truster with communistic leanings, and
there MAT be some would be swell campaign material for
the approaching congressional elections. But it would no more
establish the fact that a red revolution is brewing, among the
president's advisers in Washington, than it would prove the
moon is made of green cheese.
The important thing in politics, however, is not what is true,
but what the people can be made to believe or to fear.
, Maintaining such a charge is on its face absurd, is far from
maintaining that Dr. "Wirt's evidence before the congressional
committee will not make some votes for the Republican party.

Deal fails, if conditions
(which Hoaven forbid I) this country will go the way of Russia.
Suoh prophets, to our mind,
of this country. It is, when all is said and done, essentially a
business man's country, that is a middle class country. Or to
adopt the accepted term in revolutionary circles, it is funda
mentally bourgeoisie.
Russia was, and is, precisely the reverse. Strictly speaking
it has no middle class, and had none. It was essentially primi
tive and agricultural, ruled under the Czar by a bureau of aristi
crats; ruled undor Stalin by a bureau of workers or prole
tarians, in both cases a tyrannical autocracy, and minority,
ruling the majority.
There can be no duplication of the Russian picture over here.
A SSUME, for the sake of argument,' that conditions do be
oome worse, that widespread strikes are called, that dis
orders break out; that some man on horseback (or in an armored
car) appears, waving a red flag, ready to lead hia armed forces
on Washington and seize the government. .
What will happen t What will the peoplo of this country.as
a whole immediately demand!
THEY WILL DEMAND PEACE, THEY WILL DEMAND
LAW AND ORDER, THEY WILL DEMAND THAT REVOLU
TION BE PUT DOWN. And through their representatives,
thoy will oall on the polioe, the national guard, and if necessary
the army and navy to put it down. .
And it WOULD be put down I v
T1T1IAT would happen then T The American people would
' demand a government strong enough to maintain that
peace and order, not by fine phrases or stirring appeals, but by
force.
And what would that be I That certainly would not be com
munism. It would of course, be what they have in Italy, Ger
many and apparently now in Austria, FASCISM.
The peoplo of this country wouldn't be asked to do certain
things. They would be told to do them.
And if thoy refused f they would be where the enemies of
Mussolini, and Hitler, are today.
IVJOT a pretty picture. Not what any good American or sane
porson, would wish to have.
But if the New Deal should fail completely, that is what
we predict tho American poople as a who'fl will get.
They will choose that before they will tolerate revolution,
or choose the form of tyranny which has destroyed thoir "busi
ness class" in Russia today,

WHETHER Tig WISER IN THE JOINTS TO SUFFER. ,
The controversy concerning the fate
of pulpless or so-called "dead" teeth
goes furiously on, and to an innocent
bystander whose
sympathies are
now on this and
now on that side,
It seems that
there is hopeless
stalemate. Phy
sicians appear to
be equally di
vided on the
question of ex
t r a c 1 1 n g the
pulpless tooth
dentists seem as
widely separated
Personally I'd keep a pulpless tooth
as long as It served a purpose, pro
vlded I had no trouble which' a good
physician ascribed to focal infection
Here you see we must make up our
own mind what to do. It Is purely
a question of opinion.
If my dentist told me I had one or
more pulpless or "dead" teeth and
the teeth were giving me any trouble
and not serving any Important pur
pose, I should be inclined to have
'em extracted. But not on mere X
ray ev Id once alone. No, no, I'd never
sacrifice even a "dead" tooth on the
showing of an X-ray film. I'd want
at least the Independent opinion ol
my dentist that the tooth ls infected
or damaged by disease beyond reason
able hope of repair.
In the earlier days of the focal In
fection principle In practice (focal
Infection Is no theory; It is a well
established principle) a good many
victims gave up their teeth as offer
ings to the great god Guess. Some
doctors were so busy that they could
take only time to glvo one quick look
In the patient's mouth and order him
to go to the dentist and have all his
teeth pulled.
Porty or fifty years ago that was
i Old Yankee Custom it was
cheaper and less trouble than hav
ing the teeth filled or repaired by
the dentist if there was a dentist
capable of doing so. Probably It was
not difficult to persuade people who
were adults in the gay nineties to
submit to such mutilation tn the
childish hope that It would cure their
rheumatla, sciatica or other com
plaints. They still felt that the spend
ing of good money trying to save a
few teeth was a bit extravagant,
when beautiful sets could be had at
bargain prices.
It Is still a question In any case
whether to extract pulpless or pre
sumably infected teeth In the hope
of bringing relief to arthritis or other
trouble which is attributable to the
focus of Infection. The person beat

NEW YORK

NEW YORK, March 27. E. W. Howe
may not lay down his pen after all.
At 81 he sang a literary swan song
by discontinuing
his monthly. And
put his house In
order for a rest
so richly de
aerved. But he
had no sooner
reached his Mi
ami cabana than
an avalanche of

ca his steel-trap sanity was needed,
the letters declared. And so he Is
wavering, I hear. No other American
has so Impressed the world from the
solitude of a small town. And no
one is more bewildered by such reac
tion than Ed Howe.
To be called back at 81 by a read
ing public is something that has hap
pened to no other person pursuing
the business of writing. I am one of
many who hopes he responds. He has
proved what so few of us writing
real lee; that the common sense point
of view tells everything.
Years have not worn blm down to
the gentle bleakness of most octo
genarians. He Is still querulously
exigent of potty shams without re
signing to thumb twiddling. At 81
he wears a flowing black bow, white
flannel trousers and wonders with a
wintry smile if Babe Ruth can smack
the apple over the garden wall.
The gayety of bathrooms haa always
been one of my minor enthusiasms.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Milk Versus Beer.
Kindly give the names of two or
more well known physicians or sclen
tlsts who claim there Is more nourish
ment In milk than In beer. Reader.
Answer Help yourself to the
names. Y6u can't find a physician
or scientist who denies that milk Is
more nourishing. Even If we con
cede that the beer drinker can utilize
all the alcohol in a pint of beer, that
Is, oxidize, or burn It to produce
heat or energy, as the body utilizes
sugar, fat and protein, a pint of milk
yields 325 carolles while a pint of
beer could yield only 265 or 270 calO'
rles at most.
Remote Possibility.
Is there any truth in the popular
belief that a needle or a ateel splinter
or filing lodged In the body may
travel and ultimately come In con
tact with the heart and cause death?
Miss G. V.
Answer Such sharp objects may
travel, but If they do they cause only
minor discomfort If any trouble at
all.
Ouch!
Is It Injurious to take a hot shower
and gradually diminish the tempera
ture of the water to tee cold after
strenuous exercise such as handball,
track running, etc. Miss R. B.

FIVE STATES FIND
COLUMBUS, O. (Spl.) The gen
eral sales tax Is workable, equitable
and productive, according to a sur
vey of the tax In five states made
by Dr. Arch D. Schutz, research di
rector of the Ohio chamber of com
merce. "In every case, the tax haa been
successful In accomplishing the pur
pose for w.hlch it waa enacted' Dr.
Schultz reports. "In no case do I
find that It has retarded progress of
Industry In the states In which It
Is In operation," he said.
"There is considerable comment to
the effect that the sales tax will re
sult in governmental economy be
cause of the universal practice o
merchants In passing on the tax,
thus making the entire public tax-
conscious."
The survey covered Michigan, Illi
nois, Indiana, New York and Pennsyl
vania. Facta revealed led the Ohio
chamber of commerce to draft a
model sales tax bill to be recom
mended to the Ohio legislature.
The chamber's report quotes J. M.
Braude, assistant director of the Il
linois department of finance:
'Fear was expressed by some of
the legislators representing border
cities at the time the legislation was
In progress that such a tax would
drive business out of the. state. This
i ear naa hoe oeen oorne out, inas
much as the revenue produced In
those areas haa been up to expecta
tions and comparable with revenues
from similar cities otherwise locat
ed, and It Is not shown to have de
clined in these border cities. Com
plaints from border cities have al
most entirely disappeared."
The treasurer of a large Detroit
department store Is quoted as fol-1
lows: "If we must have taxes, the1
sales tax, from our experience so far, j
has been the most painless. Gener- j
ally speaking, we .have not expert-1
enced any definite sales resistance re-!
suiting front this plan."
Collection costs of the general ;
sales tax are very low, according to
the survey. They range from about
one to two and a half per cent of 1
the proceeds, a rate much lower I
than collection costa of other types
of taxes. I

VOTER REGISTRATION
BY
Voters are registering at the county
clerk's office at the rate of 20 to 26
per day, evenly divided between the
Republican and Democratic parties.
Many registrations are by persons
who have changed precincts since
last election. Final date for regis
tration is Tuesday, April 17, a month
before the primary election May 18.
According to the county clerk,
quite a number of registration cards
have been cancelled, due to regis
trants moving from this county to
other states.
No solicitors for registrations, for
a fee, are abroad In the county this
yesr. practically every precinct In
the county now haa a place for regis
tering, according to County Clerk
Carter. The soliciting system wsa
found expensive and to take In con
siderable territory. The 1932 regis
tration mounted to a total of 19.139.
Under the census system of counting
three persons to a voter, thla gave
Jackson county a population of 67,
000. about 20,000 more than the reg
tllar 1930 census showed. It Is now
estimated that the registration will
return to normalcy, with between
13.500 and 14.000 duly qualified and
legal voters.
It Is suspected there was consider
able "wildcat" registering going on
In 1932. This suspicion Is further
Justltied by the fact that one or
two more candidates got more votes
In this county than Franklin D.
Roosevelt, supreme court Justlcea and
United States senatorial candidates.
