PVERTONE knows about the nnfortnnate chameleon on a
A- Scotch plaid who finally ucumbed in an effort to match
all the colors on the pattern.
We sometime wonder if Joe Dunne's political ambition to
be governor of Oregon won't suffer the same fate. -
COR Mr. Dunne is very like a chameleon. Just as this harm
A less little animal can't resist the temptation to match any
color of the rainbow that is presented; so "Airflow Joe" can't
resist the temptation to match every political opinion, with his
own opinion of an identical, or similar, complexion.
We don't know that Joe should be blamed sny more than the
chameleon is. It isn't a matter of will. It doesn't involve deceit.
It is an inherent reflex of the essential organism, which many
times is embarrassing, but simply can't be avoided.
TAKE the Q.O.P. candidate's attitude on the matter of nation
al political issues for example. All his close friends and
advisers are 100 partisans and therefore ardently anti-Roosevelt.
When he is with them which is most of the time he is
naturally the same.
But when he goes afield, nnd 'runs into Roosevelt Republi
cans which he can't avoid doing, that uncontrollable mechan
ism within, starts to function and his political complexion
promptly changes from a deep Republican blue to a shimmering
New Deal purple.
Responding promptly to his FIRST environment he stoutly
maintains that the New Deal is all wet, a lot of un-American
regimentation and impractical hooey; responding similarly to
the SECOND environment, he just as stoutly maintains there is
much that is good and much that isn't in the New Deal; but
national policies and therefore national parties have nothing
to do with the governorship of Oregon, anyway.
TITIS isn't so bad. It is comparatively speaking a painless
process, just as it is painless for the chromatic lizard when
he can hop from one solid color, to another.
But as the campaign progresses, and the political pattern of
the state is revealed more and more, like Joseph's coat of many
colors, jumbled and confused we have a definite suspicion
that the genial "Airflow" is finding himself rapidly approach
ing the predicament of that Scotch plaid chameleon with so
many colors about him, that he no sooner finds himself adjusting
I his chromatic scheme to one, than he feels an irresistible appeal
1 tny av.tliai an A Vin dIiam efreir. im aimtllv too much foe
his political equilibrium.
see
AT least this is the only explanation we can find, for the most
RECENT political pronouncement of Airflow Joe to tho
people of southern Oregon.
Through his official spokesman, Dr. Dunne now maintains
that one of the chief reasons why he should be elected Governor
is that he is a REPUBLICAN 1 The state legislature always has
been Republican and will be this year. THEREFORE to elect
a democratic Governor would lead to such internal strife and
confusion at Salem, that nothing constructive or beneficial to
this Rtate could possibly be accomplished.
Ergo: vote the ticket straight and put a cross on every ballot
for Airflow Joe, REPUBLICAN !
But only the other day Mr. Dunne emphatically and solemnly
proclaimed that national politics had nothing to do with the
state election. Whether a man was a Republican or Democrat
whether he approved or disapproved of the Roosevelt policies
had nothing to do with the ease. That was merely a smoke
screen behind which certain designing Democrats were trying
to get General Martin into office, hanging to the tail of the
F. D. kite, eta., eto.
Well that MIGHT be true. Or the contention that Roosevelt
policies have a great deal to do with the state of Oregon, and
the gubernatorial election MIGHT be true. But obviously they
BOTH CAN'T be true I
Yet we have the G.O.P. candidate, urging the peoplo to vote
for him because he is a Republican, one day, and urging them
not to vote for Congressman Martin because he is a Democrat
the oflier, and for good measure, assuring them tinio after time
that whether a man is a Republican or Democrat for tho
Roosevelt policies or against them has nothing to do with the
election in November anyway!
We submit that such a position to say the least, Is slightly
confusing. And rather hard on the political anatomy of any
candidate who tries to assume it.
Just as hard as was that Scotch plaid, upon the ohamelcon,
so unfortunate as to be placed upon it I

JJIS--'.".A To th layman
it is ail aAinmBL,
But we doctors
ara a bit mora
finical about It.
Wheezing and
difficult or la
bored breathing
la the most
striking iymp
torn in all four
conditions, but
the character
and cause of the
trouble is not
the same In all; consequently the
same treatment cannot serve In ev
ery case where there Is wheezing and
coughing and hard breathing. But
don't let me stop you, Mr. Wiseacre,
if you are about to try some nos
trum; I'm Just an ordinary doctor
with nothing to sell.
Asthma la a functional derange
ment and not an organic disease. In
thla respect It la akin to epilepsy.
Tli at is to say the derangement man
ifests lUelf by an attack or seizure
At Intervals, and In the Interim there
Is no physical sign or clue by which
the physician can determine that the
patient la asthmatic or epileptic, as
the case may be. Of course one may
be subject to asthma and alao have
chronic bronchitis, and the chronic
bronchitis persists Indefinitely and is
recognized at any time the physician
happens to examine the patient. But
true spasmodic bronchial asthenia is
a periodical disturbance like mi
graine. Emphysema Is atrophy or thinning
of the walls between the air-spaces
or vesicles tn the lungs, so that the
lungs remain constantly distended
with air, blown up, as It were. Thla
occurs in some Instances as an her
editary affection, bu( usually it de
velops as a consequence of whoop
ing cough, neglected obstruction by
adenoids or enlarged tonsils, or
chronlo bronchitis. .
Bronchiectasis la a ballooning of a
bronchus, bronchial tube, with for
mation of a kind of cavern or cavity
which Is Inadequately ventilated and
drained by the bronchus. Pleural ad
hesions following Influenza have been
a prolific cause of bronchiectasis in
recent years. In the given case there
may be but one large bronchlectatic
cavity or a number of smaller ones.
Patients with bronchiectasis are like
ly to have clubbed finger-tips, in
curved nails and a bluish cast of
skin cyanosis. They have a spell of
coughing every morning, which they
should encournge by assuming the
knee-chest position for five or ten
minutes, or by lying prone across the
beof with hands and elbows resting
on the floor to get the aid of grav- i
Ity In the drainage of sputum or
secretion from the cavity. I
In all of these conditions the dif
ficulty Is with expiration or expul
sion of air from the chest, and not
with Inhaling. The patient's problem
Is not how to get air but how to
get rid of It.
Nevertheless Belly Breathing Is al
ways good medicine for one subject
to asthma, emphysema, bronchiectasis
or chronic bronchitis but it Is very
bad medicine for one who has tuber
culosis, so I warn you Mr. Wiseacre
Have your physician pass upon this
before you try It. He probably knows
what alls you. I don't.
Detailed Instructions for this
breathing exercise are given In the
booklet "Art of Easy Breathing"
which sets you back ten cents and
a three-cent stamped envelope bear
ing your address. Belly breathing is
a study In relaxation, and not an
attempt to Increase chest expansion.

To the Jxlltor:
You know that I do not always
disagree with you atxiut things, and
I am not sure that 1 disagree With
you at this point, but your editorial
quotation from the Oregon Journal
In the Item, "A State Bank," makes
me wnnt to ask a few questions. I
need, a bit more Information on this
state bank proposition, and I am sure
that there are others who are a little
dense on the thing, and would like
some help also. So If you will take
a little time and space and clear up
a point or two we will be (tad to
hear from you.
The Journal makes clear that H
would be the money of the taxpayer
that would establish and keep sound
the state bank. Whose money is
used to finance the banks under our
preaent systemf I supposed that the
moat of the money they have In the
banks belongs to the taxpayer; only
out here at Central Point I know
there la an Impression that It USED
to belong to the taxpayer. The Jour
nal also Implies that It would be the
taxpayers' money that would max
up the shortage, the loss, etc., but I
have been inder the impression that
the tax pa vera have been making thla
up (and then some) under the pres
ent program: only the burdens hare
not been very evenly distributed.
Again, the Journal Implies that
there would be a very ungctdly rela
tlonahip develop between the state
bank and the politician, but does mt
tell tis that the politician's proclivi
ties have been developed to an ab
normal degree under our present sys
tem What? Would the Journal im
ply that the state bankers and tu
politicians would be so very much
worse than the bankers and poli
ticians who are operating with our
taxpayers' money now?
I think the vaaie would be amusing
If It were not so serious. Did not
you and the Journal help elect these
state officials? Would you not also
help eleet those who would have
charge of the state bank If the pro
posed change is elected? Now, broth
er, does the Journal mean that we
could not find honeat men for state
offices who would give us a square
deal? Are all state officers so cor
rupt so infernally dishonest tht
this article la a true picture of how
It would work out? Read that aaln.
will you? "Public money loaned to
finance the campaign of a candidate
public money In a state bank to become
the plaything ano, partisan plunder
of politics," No way around It, sir
The state officials would Jxtst natural
ly become corrupt If this banking
business la Interfered with thla way.
I hare heard ot mudsllnglng and
political "blister blight" all down
thrtnmh the years ot my experience,
but I think this haa them all beat
a mile. To take for granted before
hand that In case the new proposition
oarrlea. and the state bank la estab
lished and put Into the hands of our
state officers, that those same official
must necessarily become ao corrupt
that they will debauch themselves
and us )n such fashion as here rep
resented ts Just mere political bslde;
dash. What pretentious care and
generous oversight of the interests
of the 'dear taxpayer!"
One wouio think that the Journal
might hare named at least one other
institution other than the one Andy
Jackson exposed that had been found
wanting tn business ethics. Bui no

a prevailing New York phobia about

Even In hla visits to the barber shop

B)' FRANK JENKINS
OUCK" BUCKHORN Is an ento
D mologlst employed by the U
S. department of agriculture. An en
tomologist Is a bug expert, and the
bug that Buck Is specializing on Just
now la the pine tree beetle.
Hia Job la to get It before It gets
the pine forests.
IN HIS Job of getting the pine tree
1 beetle, Buck and .his crew have
quite a lot to do with trees, and a
while back they cut down a big tree
out south of Bly, and found on In
vestigating that It was 825 years old
which la quite a ripe old age for a
pin tree.
They determined the age, of course
by counting the rings, each ring rep
resenting a year of growth.
nUT these rings tell more than the
U the age of the tree.
By observing their width, you can
tell whether a particular year was a
wet one or a dry one, aa In years of
abundant moisture the tree grows
rapidly and 'makea a wide ring, and
In dry years it grows slowly and
makes a little tight ring.
(Aa a matter of fact. Buck says,
thla record "slops over" about a year,
the wet years providing moisture to
carry forward about a year In the
way of growth. But a year more or
less In 825 years doesn't amount to
much.)
GETTING down to the point of the
story. Buck says that over these
825 years wet and dry eyclea have
followed each other at regular Inter
vals of from 10 to 20 years, the av
erage being about 16.
That la to say, a dry cycle of some
15 years has been followed by a wet
cycle of approximately the same
length.
So, In dry periods, such aa the
present, we can console ourselves
with the thought that a wet period
is coming. ?
That means a lot here In the Irri
gated country, for if dry weather
kept right on, without a break, our
reservoirs would In time go dry,
BUT here's the interesting part of
the story:
Back tn the early 170rs, Bdck says
the date, of course, being deter
mined by counting back the rlns
from th present time there was a
dry cycle of some SIXTY years!
That la to say, there were 60 of
the tight little rings In a row, indi
cating that for thla period of time
there were years of insufficient mois
ture, resulting In small tree growth,.
That waa a long time for a
drought to continue. We'll all Join
heartily in hoping that It doesn't
happen again.
HERE on the Pacific coast, our re
corded history except in Span
ish California runs back only about
a century. In this period, we know
there have been frequent wet and
dry cycles.
Goose lake, for example, was dry
and dusty when the first emigrants
came. Thla la proved by the old
wagon road whose ruts showed up
plainly when the lake went dry again
a few years ago.
At some time since then, there is
tradition to the effect that Goose
lake filled clear up .and ran over to
the south. Many people remember
when they ran a big steamer on It,
and If further evidence Is needed by
those of today, the steamer Itself Is
plied up on the shore of the now dry
and dusty lake.
f
TP NORTH of the Three Sisters Is
a lake named Clear lake, be
cause of the clearness of Its waters.;
It was formed by a flow of lava
damming a canyon. The filling up
of the lake killed the trees on th
floor of the canyon, and these dead
trees on the lake floor may now be :
seen from a boat. Not long ago, the j
forest service lowered a charge of
dynamite Into the waters, blasted off
on of these trees, sawed It across i
and exposed the rings. But the rlng
are undated.
If Buck could relate these rings
with the rings of his 825-year-o.d
tree, he might be able to establish
the age of the lava flow along the
summit of the Cascades.
That would be interesting.
terance that he must be at least 74,
are mistaken, aa he Is ONLY 71.
You state that General Martin Is
"the best qualified man, for governor.
thla state haa ver been offered In
two or three decade.'' The General
was the first to admit It. He ha been
going up and down the atate for
weeks, preaching that aame doctrine
and subtly Implying that all former
state official have been slgnauy iact
ing in the gray matter with which
he Is so abundantly endowed, ana
that he la the Great Mose come o
lead us out of the governmental wll-
dernees with the Imaginary halo he
acquired In Washington. D. 0.
True, at ONLY 71 Eihu Boot and
Supreme Justices Holmes and Bran
neia were still able to carry on in
a profession they had followed sine
their youth; but not one of them
urged upon the public that at 71 he
waa qualified to become a major
general of the army. "Unthinkable 1"
we hear Mr. Martin say). Yea, but
no more unthinkable than that a 71-year-old
pensioned major-general,
with practically no training; or ex
perience in, or knowledge or, th in
tern a! affairs of th state of Oregon,
should urge our people to elect him
governor. Our military president
served when the country' greatest
problems were military. Oregon has
no military problema.
The experience of General Martin,
even tn national governmental affairs,
haa been quite limited. In the last
session of congress, a Democratic con
gressman had only to answer roll
call and Inquire, "Mr. President, let
me know what you and your Brain
Trust have figured out and desire,
and I will O. K. It and get back to
my vacation."
Anyone who ha attended e full
session of our state legislature knows
that the problems faced by the gov
ernor of Oregon are almost wholly In
ternal problems that are of no con
cern to the national government or
congress.
To avoid four year of turmoil and
backsliding as a atate, Oregon must
elect a governor who haa the ability,
disposition and experience to co-operate
with the legislature. No gov
ernor of Oregon can carry out any
state program without the co-operation
of that body. The legislature, as
has been demonstrated too often in
the past, can almost completely tie
the hand of the governor. Our legis
lature ts always at least three-fourths
Republican. With the power at Its
command, the legislature respects
only a governor of wide experience
and knowledge of the complicated
affair of Oregon, a governor who is
willing to co-operate with it and to
consult with It. Mr. Martin Is best
known for his bluntnes of expres
sion, his pride of opinion, his cold
reserve and dictatorial attitude, his
caustic criticism, and a major-general's
pardonable desire to command.
He haa new had any legislative ex
perience in this state, and no con
nection with the Internal affairs of
the state that would be his problems.
If elected. Would such a man be
able to lend a legislature And bring
about mutual co-operation and re
spect? I think not
Genial, hard-working, experienced,
"airflow," smooth running Joe Dunne
haa won the respect of Oregon legis
lators by eight years of gruelling
teamwork with them. He Is one of
them and they would be glad to fol
low his leadership as captain.

Another Boston Tea Tarty
To the Editor:
I see you are attacking the 30-
mlll tax limitation bill, so I should
like a word of defense for It.
This bill is not Intended to be
an end In Itself but la Intended for
the purpose of limiting the amount
of taxes that can tie piled onto our
properties. We are about tired of the
idea of every last item of expendi
ture that any public official can
think of, being piled onto the poor
old abused property tax Just because
It ts easy to do and the property
owner has absolutely no come-back.
When the public official says he has
to pay it, why, that's it, either pay
or give us your property.
You might class it as a sort ot
'Boston Tea Party" proposition on
the part of the desperate taxpayer.
We have hollered our head off ever
since the depression started for some
sort of tax relief and nothing being
done about It. Wo feel that It is
about time for the tax user to take
a little bit on the chin. Yea, the
roof may go to leaking and the paint
peeling off and plneter cracking, etc.,
but you would find that the "public
mttcmnery nouse wouia still oe
standing, Just the same as In pri
vate life: Just like one of our most
prominent southern Oregon citizens
said to me, "I used to give my wife
two hundred dollar a month for
house expenses but since this de
pression I have had to cut her to
seventy-five dollars, and blamed It
she doesn't seem to do Just about
well on It."
We property tax payera are get
ting Just about desperate, and the
large tax payera are Just aa bad on
as anyone. I have taken a prominent
part for tax relief and have had
talks with all kinds of them, from
Copco officials down to shack own
ers, and the story Is the same; in
good times they could all take care
of It, but with the reduced Income
and taxes staying aa high aa.ever
It hns become a real calamity.
No attention at all 1 paid to our
cry for relief, ao we Just aimply want J
J to stage a "tea party" and w may "
get some result. You remember how
