Wnlrr Hr-rlng, SALEM, Oct. 6 (AP) The public utilities commission will hold a meet ing at Oregon City Tuesday, October 0, In connection with the Investiga tion of the rate of the Oswego lake water. Ilsht and power compsny, It was announced here today. A "Study In Partisanship " IT depends so much upon WHOSE or ia gored. The Oregonian yesterday took the Salem Capital-Journal to task for "slav ish and abject partisanship," in refusing to view the Sinclair victory in California with proper alarm. The Journal for many years, declares the Oregonian, has opposed the follies of socialism, but now that an ex-socialist receives the democratic endorsement, it swallows the "Epic" platform and supinely "trails along." The Salem Capital-Journal is quite competent to handle its own defense if any is needed, so we shall not enter into that phase of the controversy at the present time. What interested us, was the Oregonian's flaying of partisan ship, in ONE column and giving such a perfect example of its own partisanship in ANOTHER. FOR some time the Oregonian has joined in the hue and cry against "regimentation" in the New Deal, and violently opposed price fixing and the attempt to artificially control pro duction, in an effort to raise the price level. Directly or indirectly, it has repeatedly called upon the ad ministration to drop these features of the New Deal, and return to the free play of unregulated competition. One might have supposed that when President Roosevelt ACCEDED to these demands, made the long-desired "turn to the right" as far as NRA is concerned the Oregonian would at least not CRITICIZE him for it. But one searches its leading editorial on the Richberg pro nouncement in vain, for any note of approval for the administration. It categorically states this Richberg policy, "does away with the principal effort at "regimentation" and "knocks out.the very heart" of the great experiment in the control of private business. But for this great beneficence it has no word of praise. It only condemns the president and the new head of NRA for refusing to take the responsibility for these features of the New Deal, and refusing to accept the change as a loss of face for themselves I IT would be hard to find a clearer case of blind and unreason- able partisanship, a case of condemning President Roose velt when be DOESN'T, and also condemning him when he DOES.

Flight o Time (Medford and Jackson County History from the flies of The Mall Tribune of 20 and 10 Venn Ago). Is Zimmerman a Radical? OOMEONE is keeping a close check on this column. For a week now, there lias been a daily anonymous letter, Inm haHting the editorial of the dny before. We didn't expect one this morning. For yesterday we wrote about Pete Zimmerman, and assumed the sharpshooter in am bush, being an ardent supporter of Joe Dunne, would not dis agree with the paper on that. Hut be does. He asks ye editor to show any evidence that Pete is more radical than General Martin, citing their mutual approval of Bonneville dnm as exhibit No. 1. So guess we can't plensc Mr. X no matter what we do, and as a matter of fact, don't intend to try. Hut his missive suggests the propriety of being a little more explicit regarding Candidate Zimmerman and his platform. His approval of Bonneville dam, doesn't place him in the radical class. Many conservative citizens' who have studied the light and power problem believe some form of government ownership ns a "yard stick" is the only way to bring the large power companies to time. Nor is it ENTIRELY his plea for a state-owned bank, the increase of income and inheritance taxes (though Oregon now has the highest income tax rate in the country) his demand that the Grange Uower bill be passed, and more bonds issued (though the state can scarcely meet its bond interest now) nor his demand that the farmer be guaranteed a profit; though he would give no similar guarantee to nny other business or profession. Deprivation of Vitamin A cau- xerophthalmia, a peculiar dryness of the eyes with ulceration of cornea. night - blindness, failure to devel op Immunity against reaplra t o r y Infection, and in some cases xerosis or a peculiar dryness and Irritation of the akin. These are , the more striking conse quencea of i great or total lack of this vitamin. When It comes to recognizing the effects of a moderate deficiency, or as physicians now call It, avita-mlosls-A, which morbid state is probably Infinitely more common In this country than we know as yet, the diagnosis la not so much a question of experience and skill as It Is A question of scientific knowl edge. Many of the best physicians have only the vaguest notions about avltamlnosls of the latent or "sub acute" type. Indeed, there Is no med ical literature about It, as yet. The physician who happens to be curious about this modern problem has to dig what he can out of a dreary and confusing mass of disconnected reports from research workers and professional workers the world over. P. C. Jeans, M. D., and Zelma Zent mlre, M. 8. (how about such a car eer, girls?) find a practical test for avltamlnosla-A In the ability of the patient to count dim spots of light in a totally dark room. They use an electrically illuminated Birch Hi recti f eld photomoter (Zeiss) con sisting of a metal tube with light bulb at one end and at the other an iris diaphragm, a five-light point disk and a . . . yes, sir, there's no mistake about this and I'm not try ing to be funny a Goldberg wedge. But I'm pretty sure it isn't one of Rube's Ideas. Without venturing further into the technical depart ment ( the authors describe their method In J. A. M. A. March 34, 1934, if any of you doctors care to know) we may say that In a group of 213 children tested. In Iowa, 43 were found to have subnormal dark adaptation. Of these 31 were kept under observation and given a diet which Included cod liver oil (cod liver oil Is one of the richest sources of Vitamin A, as well as a good source of the sunshine vitamin. O.) All of these soon regain normal th lon In the dark, in an average of twelve days. Presumably, it Is fair to thin!:. these 45 children suffered from lat ent or partial avltamlnosls-A, an'l some of them might have developed actual night-blindness or xerophthal mia or xerosis had their vitamin A ration not been Increased. People getting night-blindness do not quite realize their vlstual im pairment until they get pretty Dad and stumble about on very dark days or in the early dusk when nor mal folk can still see clearly enough. Of course night-blindness or any of the other characteristic effects of vitamin A deficiency may occur fri'n other causes. Perhaps In many in stances these, and other posslb.e manifestations of avltamlnosls, ,an be gged only by a sort of thera peutic test, that Is, by giving the patient an excess of the essential vitamin in one form or another and observing whether it brings relief.

Mclntyre "l'R chief linsis for prilling Brother Zimmeri the umli'iiinble. fact, proveil by his own wc merman a radical is orils, that he is a class hater and believes in a class war. In fact in one direction Mr. Zimmerman outdoes the "Epic" Upton Sinclair of California. Mr. Sinclair, in his platform only promised a square deal to labor, but Zimmerman, just as he would guarantee a profit only to ono class, the farmer, would accord special favors to only one class, the laborer. Giving labor a square deal, putting it on an eiiual basis with capital giving it all the rights and privileges any other class might enjoy a program this paper heartily approves, docs not satisfy the Independent candidate. He frankly states "labor is prior to and above capital, and deserves much more protective consideration." This point of view carried to its logical conclusion is nothing more nor less than the Stalin point of view, the point of view that brought liussia to terror and destruction. Tho man who happens to work with his hands conies first and above everyone else. Zimmerman doesn't seek to destroy special privilege in this country, he merely seeks to TRANSl'T.Ii that privilege from what he calls the capitalistic class to the working class. Small wonder after speaking before the labor convention in Portland he was endorsed by that organization. Organized labor naturally would like to have such a special pleader and enthusiastic partisan in the state house. This paper maintains such an attitude as that of Zimmerman is the very esscin-e of radicalism, and dangerous radicalism. Carried to its logical conclusion it doesn't mean an improved and more liberal democracy, but no democracy at all. It means an end to democracy, and the dictatorship of the proletariat. If that isn't radicalism, will Mr. X swell the Medford postal receipts wit! another 'J cent stamp, and explain what 1S! Slate limlc.rt opinion. SALEM, Oct. .

Joe Dunne's customers the voters are always right, before election. He has mastered the fine art of getting where he wants to go by agreeing with everyone.

For years voters have been crying for relief from profes sional politicians' palavar but "Air flow" knows full well that many will fall for the hooey, as usual, which Is his stock in trade. The republican nominee will poll a heavy vote, al though he admittedly has nothing on the ball but political experience. However, the Miner believes that General Charles H. Martin, who knows little of politics, but much of life, will march along to success with the New Deal, and carry Oregon with him when he is governor. Those who cast their lot with Martin will know, at least, that they are voting for an In dividual man and his principles, and not for a professional politician and the desires of all his business friends and backers.
