MEMBER Ye Smudge Pot Uj AriDui fern The wires of the nation hum with detail, and newspapers are clogged with pictures of the trial of Bruno Hauptmann, the German alien ana ex-convict, charged with the kidnap ing of the Lindbergh baby. Yeater day, the nursemaid of the murdered child collapsed under the Insinua tions of the defense cross-examina tion. The mother, In great agony, but with sublime courage, testified, coi Lindbergh testified under circum stances as much, if not more of an ordeal to mind and body, than when he made his epochal flight cros the Atlantic. In a low, firm voice, the dispatches state, Col. Lindbergh aid he heard the man who took the rain ransom money exclaim; "Hey, Doctor 1" The press account continued: "He told the court and the Jury: . "That was Hauptmann't voice." "Since that night In St. Ray mond's cemetery." Prosecutor Wllenta asked Lindbergh, "did you hear that same voice?" "Yrs." "Whose waa that voice?" "Mr. Hauptmann'a," he replied. Many men. facing the man they firmly believed waa the kidnaper and slayer of their first-born, would have forgot the niceties of propriety. They would have eliminated the "Mr." pre fix from any reference to him. Jackson county now sports three sew officials good men and true who will fulfill the duties of their posts, honorably, efficiently, and to the best of their ability. However, Just before the next primary elec tion they will be designated, as usual, as "raicils." t A Massachusetts Justice of the jeace fined the president's son $10 tor driving an auto 78 mites an hour In a snowstorm, resulting In a wreck. No effort was made by the defendant to ahow It was a Republi can snowstorm. All these power Ail. beautiful cars Just don't happen: they are care fully planned.

PIONEER I.ARV1N. i (Pendleton EaM Oregnnlan) ' Young Galloway, who was dis charged by the school directors of a district nesr Centervllle. must needs advertise his Incom petency by bringing a law suit. In which he got left, of course. It was developed on the trial that he pronounced anpsrsgus "aa-pa-re-Jus" with the accent on the next to the last syllable; blsnc mange, blank mangy: and other words according to the asme lib eral system of orthoepy. In Justi fication, he said he had never heard of such words, much lesa seen them. (SO yrs. Ago Col ) H. Morris, the O .-Hill.

S. supreme court. With only one dissenting vote, the highest eonrt in the land, declares section 9 (e) of NRA unconstitutional. This section grants legislative authority to the President, and the ruling referred specifically vision to the oil code, granting the chief executive power to prohihit the interstate shipment of oil in excess of established state quotas. As we understand the decision, it only invalidates the grant ing of "UNMMITKD" legislative power to the President, not limited power. The ruling does not throw out the present oil code. It invalidates the granting of unlimited legislative powers to the President, regarding ALL codes. It would seem fairly obvious that this objection can be over- Lcome by subsequent legislative granting of power to Jhe chief executive. No doubt during the present session of congress this remedial action will be taken. Another Oil Scandal THIS decision, however, calls attention to a most extraordi nary situation existing in the oil fields of eastern Texas, where the above ease originated. ' In an effort both to conserve the national supply of oil, elim inate scandalous waste, and stabilize the crude oil market, an oil code-was adopted. Under this code production was limited in each oil state to a certain fixed percentage of the estimated supply. The provisions of this code have been generally observed, everywhere but in the Texas field. There the issue of stale rights has been raised. According to Owen P. White, a native Texan, writing in th.5 January 112th Collier's, wholesale graft, bribery and corruption, have completely nullified the code in that state. Insensate greed, has held and still holds full sway. TPIIIC oil barons of tlio Lone Star state have adopted inethod.s which remind one of the palmy days of Boss Tweed. Viola tions of the code, have been winked at, the stealing of "hot oil" by the use of trick valves, has state inspectors and state legislators have been openly bribed, and the author dixecily implies in Washington, D. C, have been sale oil grab. This article is so sensational that unless a libel suit, is promptly slapped on- Collier's, Mr. Average Citizen will be justified in concluding the charges made by Mr. White are true. And we have a pious idea no libel suits will be filed. 000 DERIIAPS even more astounding than that such widespread rottenness and corruption could exist in a great state like Texas, is the ultimate fate of the Roosevelt administration's measure drafted to correct this Teeth were put in this bill, Secretary lekes, federal nil administrator. This action was ap proved by the President. But when criminal action was request ed from the department of justice, secret service, it was discovered "with teeth in it" had disappeared from certified copies of t,he code upon which that department had to base its action! The alibi in Washington was an error, an innocent mistake. But as Mr. White pertinently inquires: "U It logical for anyone to believe . . . thnt the thing wrb really an error, and that It waa a mere coincidence that the ona paragraph that waa dropped from the code waa the only one In It under which the federal government could have pttnlahed the hot-oil gang In Texas? Perhnpa If It were not for three facto one might strain his credulity to tho point of agreement. But when It Is remembered that Texas was agalnKt the paragraph from the eutaet; when the prima facie evidence polnta to the conclusion that General Johnson never saw the amendment which struck It down, and when It waa hinted In Texas, as It was several times to this writer, that some of the East Texas hot-oil lawyera had always known about the missing paragraph and had held the knowledge as an ace up their eleevcs. the whole thing begins to take on the appearance of an effort on the part of the Texas oil gang to by-pass the federal government. If so. It was temporarily a uuccesa. Prom now on. though, the prophecy Is that things wll! go differently. Aa oil adminis trator, the Hon. Harold L. Ickes Is angry. In discussing with this writer practically all the conditions set forth In tho fore going artlrV he mnde It clear thnt he knot's exnetly where Texas standa. He harbors no Illusions regarding the attitude of the new Lone Star administration toward law enforcement and the destruction of oil and gaa resources, and neither need that ad ministration harbor any as to his position. He stntes It frankly. He represents the people of the United Stntes In their war agalns waste and law violation and In that connection he says. In substance: Texas hna always hnd It within Its power to stop the Illegal production of oil but It has never done so and hence hsa been more responsible than any other fnctor not only for the plight In which the oil Industry found Itsel! pi lor to the adoption of the code but also for the difficulties that have plagued the federnl government since then. He therefore con cludes that, although It may sound well for Texas to tnlk about abovit "states' rights." It none the less follows that before It Insists upon what It terms Its cwn sovereignty It should learn to use It by enforcing Its own laws. If It doesn't, some superior power will. That's Mr. Ickes' platform, and he Intends to stand on It. Can Texas dislodge him? The contest promises to be worth watching. It docs! And when the effort to "tiK'l"' lekes is revived, on the ground he is not a "good Republicans, when it comes to 1 enny piiicher and trouble maker, 'lour idea of the real reason behind that effort.

I am very sensitive and my wife u a hard woman to please. Her continuous nag ging haa made me ao nervous and despondent that it is work ing on my mind, ao much that I cry. I try hard to brace up and forget every thing, but It aeema to be get ting worse every dAy. 1 know that U I don't make a change of some kind I will have to go to a state sanitarium. For several months I have been ao ner vous and shaky that I haven't spo ken to or looked anybody In the face, bpcause I don't want them to ace the tears In my eyes. When they do, I'm ashamed of myself for being so soft hearted and letting a woman drag me down ao low. How can I brace up and atop crying and look a man atraight In the eye when I talk to him. aa I did before I got mnrrled? Continuing the way I am, life isn't worth living. Excuse, my poor writing, for I never went to school In my life. (Letter from a correspondent.) Many adults who nave had years of schooling cannot write as well as the correspondent does. I'm aa good a guehscr aa the net doc. but I can't surmise whether this young man's Imagination Is the whole trouble or whether his wife rcolly la nagging him more than any good wife la entitled to nag her husband, or whether It Is a combination of the two difficulties. But presumably his wife loves him ant! has his happiness at heart. She is tho mother of his children. So my advice to this young man, and to any other reader, man or woman, who may have similar trouble. Is to con sult a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist 1 a physician who devotes hla practice to the correction of mental distur bances, personality problems, malad justments, obseBflions. delusions or what have you on your mind. Of course any good physician does con siderable psychiatric practice, but the man who limits hla practice to such cases has greater skill from his specinl study and his larger experience In the particular field.

Note: Persons wishing to communicate with Ur. lirady should send letter direct to Dr. William lirady, M. I).. -j5 El Cnitilno, Itcverlv Hills, Cal. Leo Newman Is dean of the "specs" ' the nickname for the men who run I the theatrical ticket agencies. He Is a white-haired veteran of a thou sand and one first niehts whose memories go back to Booth. He was a confidante of Charles Dillingham Erlanper and many old timers. His estimate of a play's potentiality for Broadway's production Is almost un failing. An uneducated fellow, he Is guided not by critical authority but by "showman sense." Ticket agency men learn theater value by bitter experience. lr their Judgment fails, they pay heavily. There la a legend and perhaps oily a legend that one of the fam ous dramatic critics of the William Winter era depended upon a ticket speculator almost entirely for his ver dicts, and they were astonishingly correct. As the tale Is told, when the critic left the show, the spec, al ways among the railbtrds In the rear, bowed slightly if the play pleased. If he made no sign of recognition, he regarded it a flop. New York hotels, almost 100 per cent Insolvent, are still wallowing in financial slack. Although business has picked up. in some instances 40 per cent, and repeal adds another large revenue, the profits have been j up by Increasing costs In operating. Little nope is held for absorption of that over-supply for the next five years. Some estimate there are more than 20 hotels of a large size too many. But even a more stupendous Industrial tragedy was averted. The Wall street crash delayed building of 10 more staperlng Inns that were already on blueprints. The Rainbow room, sky high In Rockefeller Center, has been also tops in swank nlKht spots. That Is, up to the moment of going to press. Such popularity is always ephemeral. The room has brought out the shiniest hlch hats and the glossiest sables. For out-of-townprs It has become something "to refer to" when they get home and becln talking big.

UcNaught Syndicate) Comment on the Day's Nezvs Hy FRANK JKSKISS KEITH POWELL, formerly of Wood burn, now o' Portland, and a di rector of the federal reserve bank of San Francisco, brought to Southern Oregon a few days ago the champion hard luck atory of New Year's eve, A PORTLAND man. It seems, had been celebrating the end of the old year at one of the big hotels, and when he got ready to leave he forgot his overcoat. Another gentleman came along, saw the coat, thought It was his. put It on and started out. As he went through the door, he put his hand into one of the pockets, found quart of liquor there, brought It out and looked at It, failed to recognize It and remarked: "Hell, that isn't mine." Then he chucked it into the gut ter, where It fell with a satisfying crash and broke into a dozen pieces MEANWHILE, the first man had missed his coat, and started back to get It. He drove up in front of the hotel Just as his quart of liquor was chucked Into the street and PUNCTURED TWO TIRES on the broken glass. Beat that one, If you can. "VFOU'VE heard' of Bear's Paw cave, possibly, down In the Modoc lava beds of Northern California. Guy Merrill told this writer the other day how it got Its name. A couple of hunters, camped near the mouth of the cave, killed a grizzly bear, and after skinning It out cut off one paw and nailed it to a Juni per tree that stood In their camp. It hung there for 20-odd years, Guy says, until finally a sheep herder, camped in the same spot, cut the tree down and burned It for camp wood. During these 20 years, the name of Bear's Paw cave became established and remained generally accepted. GUY'S father took up the site of Bear's Paw cave as a timber claim, and secured a patent to It. It was used as a buckaroo's camp and Guy remembers that every few days the cook used to go out In the lava beds, kill ft nice fat bucK, dress It and hang It down toward the bottom of the Ice cave, where the meat would keep as perfectly as in a high-pow ered modern refrigerating plant. For that reason, he saya. Bear's Paw cave was a favorite camp. "HE lava beds are now a national . monument, under the direction of Crater Lake park, and thj park service Is beginning to take quite an Interest in their development. Guy ;deeded back to the govern ment, recently,, the land ' on which Bear's Paw cave li located, in order to help In their development aa a public playground. IN THIS column a few days back, the statement was made that In the past year, or so, for the first time, the government Is beginning to take an Interest In the Modoc lava beds. That statement Is really an in justice to the forest service. The lava beds area was added to the Modoc national forest In 1920 and was set aside as a national mon ument lnu 1924. 'From that time until June. 1934, It was administered by the national forest service, which did a vast amount of development work in the way of road and trail building and marking of the places of natural and historic Interest. In this work the forest service ex pended approximately 50.000 and, in addition, forest officers devoted a vast amount of their own time to the ! gathering of historical data. I SPEAKINO of historical data. Guy Merrill also has heard the tale that after the battle In the lava beds the Indians cached. In a lava cave the modem (modern then, that Is) j rifles they had taken from dead sol- die and urrenderod onlr old, ruoty omoothbores. If that tale la authentic, and the cache could bo found. It would cer tainly be a mine of valuoble historical material. C.reot Passages From Bible. To the Editor: Would you please print the follow ing In your paper: Ephesians lv:26-32. Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying. that It may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy spirit ot God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, ana anger, and clamour, and evil speak ing be put away from you, with all maltce: And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one an other, oven as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Thank you. CONSTANT KEADF.R Special Train ft for the Money. To the Editor: Today I have read an article in the Portland Journal, written by Walter Llppman-hended "Dr. Towns- end's Conundrum," In which he ridi cules the Idea of roising twenty bil lion of dollars by a sales tax. Stating that the retail sales of the United States for 1934 were only thirty bil lion dollars and that It would require a tax of 70 per cent to raise the re quired amount. I am for the TownRend plan, pro vided the right kind of a tax Is pro posed. I am 60 years old. but if I keep my health and have no adverse luck I would not accept the pension. but If It was In effect It would be a very comfortable feeling to know that if bad luck overtook me that would not have to go on the county rolls. The question in my mind Is that why simply a sales tax to raise this money? Why make tax collectors out of retail merchants only? Why a tax on the necessity to live only? Why not a tax on the ability to SPEND? A tax of 2 per cent on every dollnr spent in the United tSatcs. exempt ing ONLY payrolls, licenses and taxes and government purchases. This tax to cover sales of real and personal property and services. Such a tax will not only pay the Townsend old age pension, but will. In addition, set up unemployment and sick Insurance and will, In a few years, pay off our nntlonal debt, and It will not hurt the 85 per cent class. A person making and spending $600 per year would pay $1.00 per mcnth. which would not be a high rate to have unemployment insurance, sick insur ance, and a pension of $200 per month when he reaches 60. It would take a "brain truster" to figure out how much money this tax would bring In. but my Idea is it would take special trains to carry the checks to Washington as every one who sold real and personal property and services would be tax collectors public utilities, bankers, lawyers, doctors, dentists, barbers, beauty par lors, bootblack, places of amuse ments, etc. The New York stock exchange alone would have to pay enough to pay the Townsend pension or stop gambling and why should the poor man pay on milk and bread and the rich man not have to pay on stocks and bonds. I read a letter in your paper a few evenings ago written by some one in Talent 73 years old, in which he said, in effect, thnt It would work a hard ship on the old to have to spend $200 per month and that he was op posed to It. One thing about the Townsend plan Is that he would not have to accept it which leaves him out and there are many old people who would not have any trouble nt all In getting rid of It and be the means of them getting some Joy out of life.
