Reports from Portland atate the metropolitan population la complete ly bewitched by a football gambling racket, and losing their money fas ter than they usually lose t their vote. e Press dlapatch.es from Colorado Springs, Colo., reveal that Walter Reppin. of Newark, N. J., a young murderer, waa sentenced to life im prisonment, and: For 40 minutes Judge Corn forth denounced Reppin and trte pardon and parole of murderers as he formally sentenced the youth today. ( Defendants receiving sentences, are In no position to talk back to the court, for If they did they would promptly be hushed by the alert bailiffs. This particular scolding, seems to have been devoted largely to pardona and paroles, a matter resting with the governor, Instead of the young man receiving a Hie term. The prisoner seems to have been lectured, because the court was mad at the Oovernor. Lady bowlers are flourishing In our midst, and, unlike male bowlers, will talk about something else, ana keep up with their regular work. The campaign la now In Its final stages, with no signs of mass spasms or hysteria. It has not been marked by wholesale doing aa you please, and then lying out of It.

The Money Is Coming Back TpiIERE are two sides to every question. During the past few A months we have heard a great deal about Uncle Sam being a Santa Clans and spending money like the proverbial drunken sailor. , But we have heard very little about how that money is being used and particularly how much of it is being paid back to the government. Take R.F.C. for example. This financial relief organization was, of course, formed during the Hoover administration, but it has functioned steadily during the Roosevelt administration. According to the last report of Chairman Jesse Jones, since February 2, 1932 to September 30, 1934, the collosal sum of $3,000,000,000 was authorized. . DUT from this amount must first be deducted 1705,000,000 which represents loans cancelled by applicants as business conditions improved. The banks of the country were loaned $1,681,000,000, but to date they have paid back over a billion, leaving a debt balance of less than $600,000,000. The Regional Agricultural Credit Corporations have paid back 97 of their loans; the Agricultural Credit Corporations, 84; the Building and Loan associations, 75; the Livestock Credit Corporations, 89; the insurance companies 65 the Federal Land banks 70 ; the federal intermediate banks, 100 PERCENT I Such a record certainly reflects great credit upon the integ rity of American business as a whole, and provides a final and crushing argument for those who try to maintain, that there hRg been no business betterment under the New Deal. The only beneficiaries of R.F.C. who could be called "slow pay have been the hard pressed railroads and the mortgage loan companies. The former borrowed $404,000,000 and have only paid back a little over $70,000,000; the latter have been able to retire only 42 of their debt, which however under the conditions could not be termed eisctly a discreditable record in the hard hit farm mortgage business. pVEN more impressive is the R.F.C. record for the latter part - of this year. From January to June 1934 the R.F.C. paid out more than it took in; but since then it has taken in $116,000,000 more than it has paid out. In short, it is at the present time, more than paying its way. Mr. Jones attributes this to the fact that banks are now tak ing care of the needs of industry, more satisfactorily, and pre sents his balance sheet as unmistakable proof of returning con fidence and improved conditions. We fail to see how on the strength of the record, the essential truth of this assertion can be denied. Personal Health Service By William Brady. M.U.

Proof of the Pudding WIIKN all is said and done, experience remains the best teacher. We can favor or oppose a state bank on theoreti cal grounds, but the best evidence, whether the plan is good or bad, rests on how the scheme has worked out in practice. , North Dakota was the pioneer state in this form of banking. In the first two years of its operation the .North Dakota state bank lost $1,007,000, which of course had to be paid by the taxpayers. The farm loan department of this bank has been notoriously unsuccessful. According to its official report in 1933 the chief executive of tho bank stated: "My personal Judgment la no further loana should be made beyond the present legal authorisation and therefore no new extension of atate credit should be authorlxed. should we con tinue this atate farm loan policy Indefinitely It might easily result In tax levlca for bond obligations In an annual amount exceeding the total yearly operations of the ENTIRE govern ment." At this srtune time, a member of the board of directors of tho bank summarized his ten years connection with the institution as follows: "After 10 yeara of official connection with the governing board of thla Institution I am personally of the opinion that it was a great mlstnke for the state to have established It. I would not advise any state to engage In the banking business with public funde or public credit. It la utterly Impossible to main tain a contlnuou efficient and stable management of any large Institution owned and operated by the state and It la likewise Impossible to keep the political element from Influencing Ita banking pollclea. Whenever the latter element entera In the results are disastrous to the Institution and the atate. Our experience ahould be a lesson to all other states that may be tempted to engage In the experiment." Please underline the word "experience." And this is not from a private banker nor from an enemy of the state govern ment or stiito bank in North Dakota, but an official of that bank and a member of that government. One who knew from experience what a state bank means. With the new federal law insuring bank deposits, with prac tically every weak and shaky bank in the country eliminated by the depression, with now and improved federal and state banking regulations, it would seem the height of folly to try such a (litest ionnblo financial experiment in this state, AT THIS TIMK, MR.' PETER ZIMMERMAN, independent candidate for Gov ernor, favors a state hank, and if elected Governor and his program put in effect, would automatically become a mem ber of its board of directors. The state treasurer would be tho bank manager. A vote for Zimmerman means a vote for such a bank and such a financial set up. We can't believe many people in Jackson county or in the state want it; or if in possession of all the facts, would wish to go on record in favor of such a scheme. ( 'f m A mother says her baby la three months old. Before the baby waa born and since she has had an lr resistible craving for charcoal, chalk, ashes and even sand or gar den soil, but es pecially charcoal. Her physician sured her It Is of no significance, and that It waa all right to par take of charcoal when she felt so ncllned. Her husband think she la a nut, and her friends gasp In hirror at the very Idea. She Is In excellent health and her teeth are In fine shape. She does not nurse her baby. None of the thing the lady likes la Injurious, except possibly garden soil, which may contain undesirable bacatrla or the microscopic eggs of Intestinal parasites such as common lumbrleold worm or the other Intes tinal worms. To make a long story short, nobody knowa Just why expectant mothers develop these peculiar cravings. My own theory, which I cannot substantiate. Is that the demands of the developing child drain the moth er's stores of certain vitamins and perhaps also certain mineral elements. We know that the prospective mottier and the nursing mother require more calcium than the ordinarily adequate ration. We know that vitamin D la essential for the Assimilation, metab olism, utilization of calcium In the body. Thla la getting In pretty deep for the layman, and I'm Just floun dering around myself, but we haven't too many subscribers In Flor ida snd I want to do what I can to hold what we have. Enough of the blah and on with the medicine. I agree with the family physician that It is all right for the lady to taka a chaw of chalk, sand. ashes or sawdust when she wishes. But I suggest that she keep some wheat on hand, plain undoctored wheat, a gram still grown in some places out west. Let her have a good chew of wheat a few times a day. Then If tho place offords raw carrots, turnips or potatoes she should try chewing such things. Indeed, I recommend tnat everybody eat one or two raw vege tables daily, and If you can possibly get hold of some wheat, chew some of that, too. These things are fine for the teeth, the hair, bones, akin and Ins Idea. They provide some desirable vitamins and some desirable mtner- al. calcium particularly. And while you are enjoying the treat don't be stingy let the children have some too. Even tha baby, especially if he la unduly fond of woodwork, ashes and the soil In the flower pots, should have his dally ration of raw vegetable scraped into pulp until he has teeth of hts own. Here I should like to ask readers who have had experience In feeding babies with bananas to tell me whether the baby who gets some ripe banana dally from the age of four months as I think every baby should have manifests this pica or peculiar appe tite or craving for such things. At any rate, babies who do have such pica "outgrow" it by the second or third year almost always. Perhaps that is because their diet is more lib eral In the variety of things deemed suitable for the older child, and Just by chance they get more vitamins In the fresh items. QUESTIONS AN'D ANSWERS Trick Bread. Kindly give opinion on the whole wheat bread described in Inclosed clipping. It contains Iodine. I find It good for, regulatory purposes and though a bit dry and tending to get stale quickly It needs plenty of chew ing and Is not unpalatable. P. H. Answer So far as I know It Is harmless. If you want whole wheat bread, why not buy a peck or a bushel of wheat, grind It In your coffee mill and make your own? If you want lodin, why not get a vial of the tinc ture and take a drop a week In water? Starch and Sugar. Please tell me the proportion of starch and the proportion of sugar In fresh raw carrots. Mrs. 3. Answer-Carrots contain 8.2 carbo hydrate, of which about none-tenths Is starch and one-tenth sugar. In practice carrots are listed as "10 per cent' vegetables, along with beets, onions, turnips, squash, pineapple orange peach, watermelon, lemon. grapefruit. Acne. Son and I have used your lotion for acne and It has given us both ex cellent results. But can you tell me why our eyes are so sore and irritated mornings after using the lotion a: night? Mrs. C. O.

An eyeful for GENERALLY speaking, he says, production la a little up west of the Rockies, and quite a little down east of there, In the drc-utn belt. The big reduction Is ln Texas, which Is the leading turkey-growing state of the Union. According to the best advices obtainable, Texas pro duction is off about 30 per cent. When we realize that 30 per cent of Texas' production Is equal to Oregon's TOTAL production, we can get an Idea of what that means. So far as the general market is con cerned. It la exactly the same as U Oregon went out of the- turkey business entirely. Oklahoma, North Dakota and Min nesota, all considerable turkey-growing states, show material reductions this year due, undoubtedly to the drouth. TURKEY production In Oregon, Mr. Leedy says, will be about the same as last year, or possibly a little larger. Douglas county, the state's leading producer, Is quite a little down this year. Some Willam ette valley counties, on the other hand, show an Increase. Jackson la about the same. In Klamath county, there Is a large Increase, due chiefly to the growing use of turkeys as a grass hopper control 'project. Use of tur keys for grasshopper control has more than doubled the number grown there. s's'llFHAT consumer-demand will Be if this year," Mr. Leedy ssys, "no one csn say right now. It should be better over the country as a whole if the strike situation im- i proves. I "If It doesn't improve, or If It i gets worse, the turkey market will suffer. Men who are out on strike : have no money with which to buy j turkeys. A favorable Indication for the turkey grower is the Increase m I prices of competing meats chiefly chicken and pork. Both are scarcer ' and higher than last year. For the price of a turkey last year, you could get about all the pork you could carry home. Now you CAN'T." f EARLY Indications, he Bays, point to a demand this year for larger birds. This la the exact re verse of the past two or three years, when email birds have been ln demand due to the fact that people wanted a turkey for Thanks giving and Christmas, but didn't want to pay any more for It than they had to. For this reason, the smaller birds commanded a premium during these years. It rather looka now aa if the larger blrda will command the prem ium this yesr. 4pEED this yesr," Mr. Leedy says, m is snort ana oigner in price, and for thla reason many growers unable to find feed money will be inclined to push their birds onto the market before they reach prime j condition.

Communications Against Tax Measure To the Editor: Knowing your interest in the defeat of the so-called 30-mlll tax limitation bill, I am sending you the following Information. A state wide organization of civic, social service, educational and other Ideal istic groups who sense the danger of this proposed legislation, has been organized with myself acting as chairman. Additional groups are coming into our organization almost hourly as they become aware of the destruction this thing would cause ln the work of their organizations and to the entire social, educational and financial structure of Oregon. Following are some of the organ izations now working and who have passed resolutions condemning the 30-mlll tax limitation measure as being a destructive piece of legis lation without a constructive thought and a wrecking program that will bring chaos to Oregon: The State Federation of Labor. The Orange, Farm Labor Union, veter ans' organizations, social service groups such as visiting nurses, anti tuberculosis association. Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls. Y. M. C. A. ana Y. W. C. A. and kindred character building associations, the family re lief organization which Is carrying on the work of public relief to the more than forty thousand destitute and unemployed families in our state, the state teachers' organiza tionboth grade and high ana other educational groups Including the State Parent-Teachers associa tion who know that if this bill should pass, our grade and high schools will be seriously crippled, their terms shortened, subjects abol ished, teachers laid off and many schools will have to go on part time or be closed entirely. EARLE WELLINGTON. 1521 American Bank Building, Portland, Oregon. October 23. Please Name Misstatements To the Editor: I read your editorial of October 31 with great sympathy and understand ing. You complained bitterly of al leged misstatements by candidates that your Tribune was controlled by the power company. I recalled the misstatements you have made recent ly about Senator Joe Dunne and his candidacy for governor. Last Sunday you stated in effect that Dunne's supporters were terror stricken and admitting that their candidate was steadily losing votes. The reverse is true. The 71-year-old Major General Martin, before he re turned from Washington. D. C, and started his p e r s on a 1 campaign throughout the state, was generally conceded to be in the lead. This re sulted from his being practically un known to the voters of Oregon, out side of Portland, and from his being in the same party as the president which was supposed to assure him the vte of the hysterical and im pressionable branch of the New Deal followers. Other New Deal followers can be depended upon to scrutinize more carefully the candidate's quali fications. Upon his return to Oregon, the SECRET leaked out that the general had been Induced to become a candi date for governor by Os West, the well-known utility lobbyist, who would, of course, be the director gen eral of Oregon and Advisor to the Throne. If Martin were elected. Then the virtual holdup of the HOLC em ployes ln Portland to obtain Martin's campaign funds was exposed. Then as the final puncture that let nearly all the remaining air out of the "Mar tin for Governor" balloon and swept away every vestige of the halo that being a congressman had painted around his head, the srlstocratlc gen eral himself set out upon a personal campaign tour of the stste. His in ability to make an acceptable public address, his extremely cold reserve, his apparent unwillingness to step down and meet the common people ana Discuss tneir problems with them, and his very evident lack of experience In, and understanding of the Internal problems of this stste. together with the Inescapable evi dence of his advancing old age, lost for him not only thousands of vot ers, but hundreds of ardent campaign workers. Many who were convinced that the very qualities that enabled a man to become a major general In the army hopelessly disqualified htm to be a governor, had expected to find In General Martin an exception to that rule. They were keenly dis appointed. That's why leading Dem ocrats are now saying: "If we had only kept him ln Washington, D. C, we could have elected him governor, and others are saying: "If you want to assure the overwhelming defeat of Martin, Just get him to make another . personal campaign of the state." To be a successful campaigner and to be able to effectively address vot ers In every section of the state and from every walk of life, the candidate must have had a wide personal ex pertence in their problems and must have a keen understanding of their needs. He must likewise be diplo matic and possesed of a warm per sonality. Therein lies the SECRET of Senator joe Dunne's campaigning ability, which you so highly com- J mended on September 38. Therein also lies the SECRET of why the leading newspapers and political fore casters of the state are conceding that Dunne Is gaining strength dally and Martin has slipped Into a poor third position ln the race. If you did not share this belief I doubt If you would find It necessary to write an editorial every other day attacking Joe Dunne. 'J One of the reasons for Senator Dunpe's outstanding ability and suc cess as a public official and cam paigner was recognized by Martin's strongest supporter, the Democratic Portland' Journal, when on November 7, 1932, ln discussing Senator Dunne, It stated: "In public affairs he has no SECRETS he takes the public Into his confidence."
