TinijLIS E. MAITONEY, defeated in the primaries, by Gen-
cral Mnrtin is now out to get the general if he can.
The mayor of Klamath Falls, who apparently aspires to be
another Huey Long, has started a drive within the democratic
party for the formation of Mahoney clubs.
Mnhoney calls himself a Jaeksonian-IJoosevelt Democrat
(whatever that is), and maintains that supporters of President
Roosevelt should get behind him, and desert the general.
A fine example of sportsmanship I Unable to defeat General
Martin in a fair and open fight, the defeated candidate is now
trying to stnb him in the back.
And as if this were not enough, he has the colossal effrontery
to maintain he is doing this in the name of the Roosevelt ad
ministration, of which he is the true Oregon representative,
and General Martin isn't!

And we believe it is too much for the people of this state.
This Ireacherous move by the candidate General Martin
defeated in the primaries designed to sink the Martin ship, and
elect Pete Zimmerman, should have exactly the reverse resilt.
Popular reaction against it, should make General Martin's vic
tory more certain and overwhelming than ever.
General Johnson Is Out
ONLY a month or six weeks ago General Hugh Johnson re
signed as KRA head, but President Roosevelt refused to
accept it. Since then his retirement has been reported many
times, but always denied.
Yestcrdny however General Johnson did resign, and the
resignation was promptly accepted, with courteous and friendly
notes on both sides.
What has happened during these few weeks to change the
situation t The probable answer to thBt is a "speech."
General Johnson made the speech. He flayed the textile labor
leaders for breaking the NRA oode, and he brought in Justice
Brandeis of the U. S. supreme court, as an adviser in the forma
tion of the NRA rules and regulations.
Probably the latter "indiscretion" had more to do with
Johnson's retirement than the
est supporter of the Now Deal
NRA, may have far reaching consequences.
In a short time now, many
come before this country's highest judicial tribunal.
If Justice Brandeis does not disqualify himself, opponents of
the New Deal will try to have this done. As the court is now
divided the disqualification of Brandeis, might well have dis
nsterous consequences from the standpoint of the administration.
Letting Johnson out now is rather like locking the stable
door after tho horse is stolen. The harm has been done. But
we have no doubt, there is a sigh of relief from the White House
that the impulsive and tempestuous general, will be silenced for
a while.

THE DINITRO PHENOL RACKET
A reader writes: Tou said dlnltro

vantage of the lack of knowledge of
the chemical among physicians and
among the laity, to kite the price
outrageously. A druggist who charges
lor a dozen capsules or tablets
or pills of dlnltrophenol la simply
gouging the customer.
But never mind, folks. Who wanta

Some of you may remember that I
had a whirl at It myself and reduced
six or seven pounds with It. I thought
it was the maglo medicine at last

hard exercise. But, shucks. I hadn't

self to that effect. No sooner did my
first allusions to dlnltrophenol ap

things about It from my readers, both
ay and medical. Mostly good things.
Then there were reported two or
three deaths from dlnltrophenol poi

dance were not positive about It and
In at least one case they frankly
avowed that after a painstaking
autopsy they were unable to deter

Federal authorities fined the menu
facturer and also some of his associ

Barnum never said, there la a sucker

piffling fines for bamboozling the

Cold Beverage

and experiment.
Asked about the questions submit-
ted to htm by the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, the pres
ident said he did not have time to
answer all questionnaires put to him
by various organizations.
He said that In reading the ques
tions of the chamber of commerce
he waa reminded of the lawyer who
puts the question in the form:
"Have you stopped beating your
wife?"
To Ignore C. of C.
Little doubt was left that the
chamber of commerce would receive
a reply from the president.
Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States asked the
president earlier this week to clarify
the administration program by an
swering half a dozen questions deal
ing with the future of NRA, the bud
get and the value of the dollar.
They contended business fears
would be allayed by a definite state
ment from the president on these
and other pending Issues.
Asked if he cared to comment on
business reactions, Mr. Roosevelt
smiled, and replied that he did not
have as many reactions as some of
the business men. He added that ho
also did not have as many Inhibi
tions. Mr. Roosevelt offered no comment
on the pwtest of the textile strikers
that those who struck were being
discriminated against, but said ho
was going to look Into It today.
The first caller on the president's
list was Donald Rlchberg, former
counsel of NRA, who has been at
odds with Johnson for several weeks.
Rlchberg and Mr. Roosevelt pre
sumably were discussing the NRA re
organization program,

(Contlnuea (.am page one)
Last April the NRA announced:
"The cotton textile Industrial rela
tions board has shown what educa
tion and conciliation can accomplish
In a former strife-torn Industry. It
has proved that co-operation between
employers and employes can click."
Five months later 16 were dead and
200 Injured on the battlefield of that
Industry.
There la a good Inside reason why
tie name of the new railroad organi
sation Is to be changed from Ameri
can Railway Institute to the Ameri
can Association of Railways. President
Roosevelt did not like the "Institute"
name, possibly recalling the stel in
stitute and the textile Institute.

HYATT LAKE FISH
DIE IN LOW WATER

the baas situation In Hyatt lake,
whose stored waters are used by the
Talent Irrigation district for orchard
and field crops.
Ralph Cowgill, chief engineer of
the state game commission, Is here
making an Investigation.
Manager Arnsplger, himself a
sportsman all his life, said this morn
ing the water was used for irrigation,
that the water receded lower than
anticipated; but that after all, the
lake was created and set aside for
Irrigation, and that Its main object
was the propagation of pears not fish.
He further held that the situation
had been exaggerated, that the
photographic evidence, In some In
stances did not present a true picture
and furthermore feared the starting
of a useless controversy with Klam
ath county over a minor matter.
Fall Rain Needed
Arnsplger thought that the buw,
considering what they had been up
against In the way of hot weather
seining, by Klamath fishermen, and
getting loose from the hooks of ama
teur fishermen, had come through
the summer In good shape. He ad
mitted the bass would feel better as
soon as the fall rains came, If any,
and fresh water ran Into the lake.
It Is the general opinion, among
water users of the Talent irrigation
district and ore hard Is ts generally.
that It was better that a few bass
"suffocate", as charged, than for the
Boocs to wither on the limb.
Fishermen of Klamath county have
filed a protest against tho low water
In the lake, and "launched a battle
for the relief of the bass."
Local sportsmen hold that the
grievance of the Klamath sportsmen,
lies not In that the water was used,
but that more bass were not removed,
before It was lowered, so they oould
be salvaged and placed In other wat
ers. This was due. as far as the Irri
gation district was concerned, to not
guessing the weather correctly, Arn
splger said.
