Congress Defies the President
ET us suppose you are managing a big business. J-.t the
start of the fiscal year, you inform your stockholders ihat
they must give you say $400,000 with which to conduct that
business for 12 months. That is your budget. You have figured
necessary expenses, contingent expenses, everything required,
and the $400,000 is your maximum. You promise not to exceed
that. You will go below it if you can.
Six months pass. The board of directors call upon you to
authorize the expenditure of $100,000 more than your budget
allowed. -
You ask whyf
The answer is a small but influential group of stockholders
demand it. They want an extra dividend declared exclusively
for themselves.
What as manager of your company do you do t Grant it ! .
You do NOT. That is you don't if you have any regard for
your plain duty.
You say in effect :
"I wn not representing a minority of stockholders, I am
representing ALL of them. And I un also representing the '
beat Interest of thla company. I gave my word that I would
conduct thla business for a year; for ' no mora than (400,000.
all my plana are baaed upon that outlay, and the expectation
of my stockholders are baaed upon it alao. Tell that group of
minority stockholders to Jump In the lake, for by the eternal
80 and So, I have given my word and Intend to keep It."
IITELL, change from the second person to the third, and
change from a private business,' to the biggest public
business on earth the United States government, and you
have a fairly accurate representation of what President Eoose
volt said in his veto message of the veterans pay increase, and
why he said it.
The president as manager of this country, presented his
budget of expenses to the peopleof this country as stockholders,
and then congress as the board of directors, demanded that that
budget be exceeded by some $228,000,000 because a certain
minority of the people (stockholders) demanded a benefit of
this amount for THEMSELVES.
There's the picture. ' '
It's merely a business proposition. Did President Roosevelt
do right or did he do wrong? Apply that question to yourself,
in your own business, Mr. Taxpayer, and you have the answer.
A N0 yet every now and then some congressman arises on his
hind logs, and with tears running down his rotund cheeks,
complains because the people of this country, as a whole, seem

So far as I know or believe, no
antiseptic, germicide or disinfectant
as yet discovered Is worth a hoot In
the treatment of any Illness. Anti
septics perhaps have some value In
surgical dressings, In gargles, mouth
washes, sprays, douches or lotions,
the chief purpose being to prevent
the spread of Infection. Unconscious
altruism, the childish faith of the
wiseacre laity In antiseptic gargles
and the like In the treatment of sore
throats and putative "colds"; uncon
scious and Ironic, or moronic if you
prefer.
Wiseacre laymen cherish the notion
that If you use strong enough anti
septic remedies often enough you can
heal" anything quickly. Of course.
they have never been apprised that
the antiseptic powerful enough to
kill or seriously cripple germs is even
more likely to kill or cripple the deli
cate young new tissue cells which are
essential In any healing process.
Many laymen harbor a fond fancy
that the regular dally application of
an antiseptic gargle, nasal spray or
similar remedy will prevent putative
"colds," flu. Infantile paralysis, diph
theria, lethargic encephalitis or what
ever the community happers to be
excited about. It is questionable
whether any such "precaution" is ever
effective, and there Is some reason
to believe that the constant or fre
quent removal of the normal mucous
secretions from nose and throat, as
well as the slight irritation produced
by tha foreign chemical itself, may
weaken the natural defenses and I
favor invasion of the mucous mem
brane by disease germs which might I
otherwise have perished in the ordi
nary way, by being entangled In the
normal mucous film and destroyed by
the natural phagocytes.

after Hoover drove the soldiers
out, wo came along and made

The Constitution Overturned
'T'HIS over-riding of the president' veto, both by the House
and Senate not only definitely marks the end of President
Roosevelt's honeymoon the final collapse of that slogan "stand
by tho president ",--but it reveals one of the most serious threats
to tho success and survival of our free democratio. institutions.
It is the threat of an organized and aggressive minority, in con
flict with the disorganized and, more or less indifferent, major
ity. This factor has caused serious trouble in the past, unless
checked by an aroused public opinion, it promises to cause even
more serious trouble in the future. . -

A MOTHER thing. This surprising action shows how, not only
tho fundamental theories of our forefathers regarding
popular government, but governmental theories which havo en
dured in Europe for centuries, have in recent' years been com
pletely overthrown.
This theory was, briefly, that the encroachments of the exec
utive, comprised the outstanding danger to the people, that
the king, for example, had to be controlled by parliament; and
in this country, the president had to be controlled by the con
gress. That is why the taxing power was placed in parliament;
that is why the framers of the constitution provided that this
same power must be vested in tho congress and that all money
hills must originate in that popular assembly, the Lower House.
- - a . e .

To the Editor:'
As the fiscal year of tho Chamber
of Commerce draws to & close, a
summary of the' achievements of that
body will, of course, be presented.
The usual listing of material accom
plishments, which is the yardstick
by which chambers are often meas
ured, may be expected from the man
ager. While the material achievements
are of vital Importance, the Intan
gibles often mean more to the happi
ness of a community. With the Med
ford chamber the intangibles are of
such nature that our manager, tact
fully modest, will omit them, hence
this letter.
To us the outstanding accomplish
ment of J938-'34 is the re-establishment
of the old fashioned neighborly
feeling, that kind of friendship among
folk that crystal izes In a co-ordination
of effort for the common wel
fare. During the heyday of boom times, i
we, to a degree, lost that Intangible
something that built our great west-;
era commonwealth, that something
the pioneer had that made western
hospitality a national byword, that
kindred feeling that made no man
a stranger In the great western country.
We lost that Intimate man-to-man
contact that build undying friend
ships, that cemented folk in a com
munity effort to promote the peaoa
and happiness of all by a friendly
Interest In each and every Individual.
That our chamber has made much
progress In re-establishing- the pio
neer spirit is shown by the expressed
desire of almost every community in
the valley for a Jackson county
chamber of commerce. This la Just
another way of saying; "We like you
and you like us."
To have revived that spirit when
the community was torn with strife,
when economic conditions were so .
bad that self-preservation had to be
the predominating nature of every
individual, is an achievement of
which the manager of any chamber
of commerce should be proud. It
Indicates4 the setting aside of selfish
motives. It manifests a spirit of "all
for one, one for all," the only spirit
by which a chamber can survive.
For this. If for nothing else, our
manager. Mr. Banwell, deserves the
everlasting gratitude of every citizen
of Jackson county.

Pioneer Leader Thanks
Chamber for Luncheon
'I believe this to be one of the
nicest compliments we have received
during the present fiscal year." ThlB
was the statement of w. S. Bolger,
president of the Medford Chamber of
Commerce when he received the fol
lowing letter from John B. Griffin,
president of the Southern Oregon
Pioneer society:
"Gentlemen: I want to thank the
president and the members of the
Chamber of Commerce for their kind
ness and thoughtful ness in giving
this banquet to the three-quarters of
a century pioneers, who saw this val
ley when It was only a wilderness,
Inhabited by hostile Indians, grizzly
bear, and howling coyotes, and have
lived to see It grow Into one of the
most beautiful places on the Pacific
coast. Not only that, but we have
lived In a wonderful age and have
seen more progress, more wonder
ful Inventions, than have ever taken
place In all the world before.
"And we are thankful to the su
preme ruler of the world for being
permitted to live to see all these
things, and we are still on the Job
to help Medford make the Diamond
Jubilee one of the grandest affairs
that has ever been pulled off in the ;
state of Oregon, and we can rest as
sured that it will be done, for we
have the men and women who have
the brains and the indomlnatable
spirit to carry out anything they
undertake and who are unacquainted
with the word 'fall.'
"And now, I will say to Mr. Banwell
and the Chamber of Commerce, that
we appreciate their kindness In giv
ing us this banquet more than words
can tell, and you sure took the right
steps to win our hearts and that waa
through our stomach. Need I say
more?"
Mr. Griffin also sent the Chamber
of Commerce the following original
poem::
I love you, dear old Oregon,
I love your valleys and hills,
I love ydur lakes and rivers,
I love your rippling rills.
I love the trees in the forest
The redwood, the oak, and the pine,
I love the rain in the winter.
And I love your nice sunshine.
I love to sit in the meadow,
And listen all the day long
To the'-llttle birds that are singing
Their sweet and beautiful songs.
I love every state In the Union,
The large as well as the small.
But I love my dear old Oregon
The very best of them all.
