We Apologize to Gen. Martin!
WE didn't tmppoie ANYONE in Oregon, even those bitterly
opposing Congressman Martin on purely partisan lines,
would publicly question "hi sympathy and aolicitude for Ore
gon 'i problems," or "his truly warm affection" for this state.
Nor did we aver imagine that ANYONE, much less an ardent
supporter of Senator McNary, would even INTIMATE Congress
man Martin's splendid service to his state, as representative of
Oregon in the Lower House, was an added period to his NON
RESIDENCE in this state, and evidence that his-"days of use
fulness are over I"
Yet these are the charges made by Fred L. Colvig, who signs
himself "Republican" in another column,
IF, as our correspondent maintains. Congressman Martin has
only been In the state "3 years", for he was a non-resident
when he served his state at Washington, then Senator McNary
who has similarly served his state, for so many terms, haa been
a non-resident for nearly two decades!
e e e e
OF course politics is POLITICS! We can expect a lot of
unadulterated whang doodle, and apparently more than
the usual amount of mud slinging between now and the time
of election; but in all seriousness, this communication Btrikes
us to express it mildly as surpassing the limit of partisan
bitterness and absurdity.
And, frankly, we regret its publication at this particular
time, for Congressman Martin, today and tomorrow, is to be
a guest in southern Oregon, and we are sure a majority of the
people REGARDLESS OF PARTY, are glad to do him honor,
and show him that courtesy which his long record of faithful
service to his country and his state, justifies.
But it happens to be one of the long established policies of
this newspaper, to give space to communications, of ANY char
acter, provided they do not violate .jcrtain rules and regulations,
and the writer of this communication, insisted that it be printed
at this PARTICULAR time, KNOWING it would greet Gen
eral Martin on his arrival.
So there it is, so that all may read. In spite of the fact
that General Martin has msde Portland, Oregon his home for
nearly half a century, and EXCEPT when CALLED elsewhere,
TO SERVE HIS STATE AND COUNTRY, at home or abroad,
has regarded Portland AS his home, Mr. Colvig insists upon
calling him a "newcomer" who knows nothing of Oregon prob

RENOUNCING THE KARELL REGIMEN
Readers who ha.v withstood the
vicissitude! of thU column long
enough will recall now heartlessly I
utved to dish out
the Karetl Regi
men for those
who liulAted they
had to reduc.
Thla rigorous
regimen had two
virtues It was
as simple as stm
p'e and it re
duced and no
mistake. It con
sisted of taking
nothing else but
glass of skim
milk (fresh milk
from which the cream has been
skimmed off), hot or cold, sipped
slowly, every three hours from morn
Ing till bedtime, and once In the
night If desired. Thla was the entire
bill of fare for one or more days each
week.
I estimate that one out of three
persons who tried It had the hardi
hood to adhere to it long enough to
achieve reduction. However, I accu
mulated a fat file of testimonials
from readers who declared they had
met with phenomenal success.
But in spite ot these testimonials
something told me the Karell Regi
men was not quite the thing a health
advisor should recommend, tho I had
no definite Idea as to just what was
wrong with It. However, I did pipe
down on that note and about ten
years ago ceased sentencing readers
to that dietary Siberia. In a mono
graph on obesity which I began dis
tributing about that time I still men
tioned the use of the regimen and
even the legend that Karell first de
vised It for one of the Czars.
Now I wish to recall and annul
the Karell regimen. It Is obsolete and
anachronic. 8uch a diet may still
servo a purpose in the treatment of
certain disease conditions, but It no
longer belongs In a health building
program.
Aside from the sharp curtailment
In the total calories one gets on this
regimen (skim milk yields 10 calories
per ounce, or say 70 calories in a
glassful), the diet has nothing else to
commend It. It was good enough In
Its day, but It falls to meet the es
sential requirements as we know
them today. Nearly all of the newer
knowledge of nutrition has come
since the Karell regiment was devised.
Today any regimen designed for re
duction must provide certain mini
mum rations which the body de
mands to maintain Its normal func
tions. The diet must supply not only
the proper proportions of proteins,
carbohydrates and fats, but also cer
tain vitamins and minerals which are

OF GAS AND BEER
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 13. (T)
Bills of complaint alleging violations
of national recovery act were filed In
federal court here today against a
brewery In Tacoma, with a local
agency, and against three service sta
tions in Portland.
The complaints were filed by Carl
O. Donaugh, United States attorney
for Oregon, and were delivered to Fed
eral Judge John H. McNary.
The bills of complaint charged vio
lation of the code of fair competition,
and requested orders to show cause
why the defendants should not be
punished under the statutes. Hearings
were set for Sept. 9.
The brewery named in the com
plaint was the Northwest Breweries,
Inc., of Tacoma. It was alleged that
a Portland inn on Feb. 27, last, pur
chased ten half-barrels of beer from
the brewery for the established price,
and was given, free, two one-half bar
rels, in violation of the code section
governing rebates.
In case of the three service stations.
It was charged that each sold first
structure gasoline at 30 cents a gal
lon, two cents under the established
code price. Those named were the
Portland Super-Service station, the
Roto way service station and the Globe
service station.
The four cases were the first of

metabolism. Moreover, If reduction
is brought about by the diet, there
must be adequate provision to pro
tect against acidosis, which Is more
likely to occur when surplus fat Is
being consumed.
The Karell regimen falls In all of
these fundamental requirements, and
therefore merits obliteration. I offer
my apology and regret for having
recommended It, but as I say I didn't
know any better.
Old Auntie Blntle assured nje once,
when she and I clashed over a case

Colvig "Greets" Oen. Martin
To the Editor:
In your editorial addenda to my
communication of Sunday last, you
threw the lie to or, to be nice, at
least challenged my assertion that
Qeneral Martin Is virtually a new
comer here In Oregon, that he has
been here only a few years (with the
thought a natural consequence
that Creneral Martin's sympathy and
solicitude for Oregon's problems must
be factitious, since it cannot be sup
posed that In such a short time there
should be excited deep In the old
soldier's heart a .very truly warm af
fection for the state).
But, please, Mr. Editor. I refuse to
be utterly abashed when you descend
from your misty editorial mount to
reprove me.
It Is a matter of record, easily
available to you, a newspaper man
(and aometlmea a newsman of con
science does go to the record) that

"General Martin served in the
army from 1887 to 1927, when he

In Oregon prior to his retirement
was very little. He was atatloned
at Vancouver Barracks briefly. He

suppose Itwas due to that fact
that they came here to live fol

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
W. B. LAMM, president of the Lamm
Lumber company, of Modoc
Point, one of the large corporations
of Southern Oregon, addressing a
servloe club the other day, presented
an unusually clear picture of lumber
operations and the lumber market
under the code.
What be had to say was so Inter
esting, here In the lumber country,
that a brief digest of It la printed
here.
THE lumber Industry, Mr. Lamm
told his hearers, hit bottom in
1032, along with other business, and
by the spring of 103S recovery had
begun to set In.
Stocks were low, both at the mills
and In the yards, and prices were low
so low that only the more efficient
mills could get Into the market.
Thus there- was automatic limita
tion of output. The high cost mills
couldn't afford to operate.
THEN the lumber code came along.
Under the code, the mills
were given quotas, either .by the
month or by the quarter. These quo
tas had to be cut In the time allotted,
or be lost. No carrying forward of
shortages Into the next period waa
permitted.
As a result, the larger mills were
Included to cut their full allotments,
whether they were Immediately able
to sell or not, as the market trend
was then somewhat upward, and they
didn't want to losle their quotas.
For this reason, over-production
was 'encouraged.
Y TNDER the code, cost of production
w was guaranteed to the mills.
The result of this situation was to
bring Into production a very large
number of small mills whose cost of
production In 1033 had been too high
to permit them to get Into the mar
ket. But with coat of production guar
anteed, they opened up at once.
Mr. Lamm says that In the South
alone the number of such small mills
brought lnt production was between
2500 and 3,000.
The output of lumber was mater
ially increased.
SO much for the production side.
Let us now take a look 'at the
consumption end.
Lumber prices, as already stated,
were low at the end of 1932, but as
the result of the code, with Its high
er operating coats due to increased
wages 'and higher priced supplies,
price rose on the average about 00
per cent. Other building supplies rose
in about the same proportion.
Thus a house that at the end of
1032 would have cost 43,000 by the
end of 1033 would have cost 8,000.
In the face of this situation, peo
ple elm ply put off building, and de
mand for lumber slumped.
IN the spring of thla year, the gov
ernment, anxious to stimulate
building and recognizing that high
costs were holding It back, announced
that it was going to bring about a
decrease in the price of lumber.
With that announcement, such de
mand as there was died at once. If
you are planning to buy something,
and then hear that the price is to be
reduced, you DON'T BUT at the high
er price. Instead, you wait for the
price to come down.
That Is human nature.
EVENTUALLY, Vrioe of lumber,
produced under the code, were
reduced about ten per cent. But no
rush to buy followed the reduction.
When prices are reduced ONCE,
buyers usually figure that they may
be reduced again, and wait to see.
They waited this time, and are wait
ing yet.
A large buyer of lumber said to Mr.
Lamm Just a few days ago: "We want
to buy lumber. We have the money
lying Idle in the bank, drawing In
terest. But what are we to do? We're
uncertain about the price, and we
can't afford to get stuck by another
drop.
"All we can do Is WAIT."
SO there you have the story.
First prices were raised by in
creased operating costs under the
code to the point where buyers held
off and refused to buy. Then a forced
drop unsettled the market and caused
buyers to hold off still longer to see
If there wouldn't be ANOTHER drop.
They are still holding off, and the
market is anything but good.
HERB Is hope, and rather itrong
belief, Mr. Lamm told his hear
ers, that by September hesitation will
begin to clear up and buyers will get
back Into the markets. But they
haven't come back yet.
Price fixing sounds good In theory.
but In actual practice It has many
drawbacks as may be seen from the
situation sketched by Mr. Lamm for
hts hearers the other day.
In the long run, price are fixed
by supply and demand, and attempts
to Interfere with the natural law of
supply and demand always cause a
lot ot confusion.
