Om UaU Trujuai ut ad Whats the THE Portland Journal and the something to fight about. The Journal favors a Lieutenant Governor for Oregon, and the Oregonian doesn't. In their respective issues today, the two journalistic giants go through their verbal workout-, in prepara tion for the final tug-of-war, at Salem. Characteristifnlly the Journal sees in the present procedure, a haphazard modus operandi, inviting corruption, skullduggery, and the victory of a senate political cabal, over the will of the people. We quote: "AH th. people of Oregon should hive ft hand In th .election of their governor. The choice should never be by a handful of senators under many and sometimes compromising In fluences." The Oregonian, also characteristically, is less positive and more ironical in its pronouncements. It asks "who wants a lieutenant governor?" and answers its own question by saying "no one but the legislature." This proposal it maintains is a four-time loser, represents no popular demand or need, and chides its evening contemporary, for supporting a measure the dear people have rejected four times, when it so vehemently opposed the revival of the sales tax, because it had been defeated only once. .... PAIR enough on both sides. But if this first round is a typical example, we maintain the controversy is-rather less impor tant and exciting than Max Bacr's shadow boxing routine, on the vaudeville circuit. At any rate this lieutenant governor issue leaves us cold. TVc can't see that HAVING, or NOT having, a lieutenant governor, makes much difference one way or the other. If Harry Corbett did not happen to be president of the senate and Governor Martin were not in his 70's, we believe the question would never have come up. Corbett is a Republican and one time defeated gubernatorial candidate, we can understand how it would burn up the Demo crats and the esteemed Journal to see the administrator of the extensive Corbett estate, slide into the governor's chair, without a vote of the people. But sueh nn outcome is exceedingly remote. As far as the respective and prospective abilities of a licutenunt governor and president of the senate, to satisfactorily administer the affairs of the state are concerned, we would fix the betting odds at 50-50. We know tjia't in at least two ant-governors to the state house, marked eras of crookedness and corruption which are still bright in the memories of the older inhabitants. On the other hnnd, from the letting the people instead of the state senate, choose the guber natorial "vice-president" is greatly to be preferred. ' ' ' . But what tell ! There are few issues on which this paper doesn't take a definite stand. On this however, we PREFER to sit on the fence and use it as an observation post, determined to lose no sleep, regardless of how the final vote goes. Heavy Hens in Kansas WE bcliove tho following editorial clipped from the Emporia TCfltlRfls) Cln70tto ivill ha infaraot in rt tut raaloM particularly those who arc trying to make a living off the land. William Allen White is the editor of the Gazette, and prob ably the most ablo and distinguished "small-city" publisher hi the United States. In the center of the American corn belt, he takes and has always taken a keen interest in the farm prob lem and its solution. Unlike many of his mid-western contemporaries, "Bill" while a loyal Republican, has refused against tho Roosevelt administration. In fact, many of the major features of the New Deal, outset, and still champions. The following comment, therefore, with facts and figures on ' the local Emporia markets, SHOULD represent a true picture of the present farm situation in the great state of Kansas, and the attitude of the farmers there: "SHINE ON SII.VKR MOON" The ascetic's dally quotations of Emporia markets show a decided Improvement In prices over a yeer ago. The causes of the upturn may be due In part to an Increased demand, the scarcity created by drouth and the AAA program. In some cases the prices of farm products have nearly or more than doubled. But to offset the rise, the prices of feed to produce these farm products have trebled. Then too. farmers Justly complain that prlcea of the things they buy are out of Una with the price or scarcity of thlnga they have to sell. All , consumers, the employed, the unemployed and unemployable notice a sharp rise In common commodities like butter, eggs and pork.

MORE I.KillT The night of Jan. 16, 1756, accord ing to Rosenau, June 21, according to Brlttanntca, 140 men, prisoners of war were shut zzrzzzm In a room about six yaras square which had only two small wln dows on one side. 'They were shut In at 6:00 p. m., and with in an hour some were dead. When the door was opened at 0:30 next morning only 33 men were found alive. Just what killed the VJ'-i prisoners haa been a subject of speculation ever since. Today a black marble monument mark the site of the Black Hole of Calcutta. From, the description given by one of the survivors; "By eleven o'clock great num bers were dead or dying, and those living were In an out rageous delirium and others quite ungovernable. A steam now arose from the living and the dead, which moet awfully affect ed these who were still alive. Everybody except those at the windows now grew outrageous and many delirious." Years before we knew precisely what "fresh air" and "vitiated air" meant, I was shut In a room of about that size with about that many men, on a warm summer day. The .room apparently had no window or other opening for ventilation. (It was part of the Initiation monkey shines of a fraternity). Among us were a few ringers whose function was to promote anxiety and excite ment. Soon these ringers began to faint, fall In convulsions, froth at the mouth, etc., and some of the more impressionable candidates actu ally fainted or became hysterical. As we learned afterward, the room had been well ventilated from In visible sources. Crowd 146 men Into a space of 6 : yards square and you will have ! four men In each square yard. Say the room Is nine feet hlgb. Less than a cubic yard of air for each man. A man sitting or standing quietly breathes a pint of air at each breath. and takes 16 breaths a minute. Roughly estimated his cubic yard of air would last him 314 minutes. Then he'd begin to rebreathe the air, and the increasing proportion of carbon dioxide In It would make him breathe more deeply. In six minutes he would probably be in j convulsions end In eight minutes he would die from asphyxia,' suffo NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. McJntyre PALM BEACH, Jan. 33.

Eighty-eight bills have been Introduced In both houses, and ONE bill haa passed both houses. If that ratio can be followed throughout the session, It will be fine. IN recent years, business haa been greatly troubled by esceaa of sup ply over demand, and nowhere haa thla been truer than In the case of legislation. ENCOURAGING newer Livestock prices are better. Prime steers, which at the low point of the depression brought in the neighbor hood of ZVt cents, have aold In the Oregon country In the paet week for better than eight cents. . Fat lambs, also, are selling at bet ter prices. WHY are cattle prices up? The answer Is simple the old, time-tested law of supply and de mand has been at work. For several years cattle prlcea hare been below cost of production, ennd aa a result production haa been DECREASING. Then the drouth of 1834 came along and still further reduced production. Because of this changed situation, there have been more buyera than sellers In the marketa recently, an: prlcea have been rising. Prices always rise when there art more buyers than sellers. ANOTHER angle of the law of aup ply and demand, has been at work. With prlcea low, per capita con sumption of meat has been RISING in the past year or two. When prlcea of any product are low, the public tends to consume MORE of tliat product, thus helping to get rid of the over-supply. THERE la an old proverb to the effect that one extreme follows another, (Proverbs, you know, repre sent the boiled-down experience of many generations of humr.n beings.) The cattle men have been going through an extreme of depression. The pendulum la beginning to awing back In the 6ther direction, and they are probably facing several years ol reasonably proiltable operation. At any rate, here's hoping. Cattle men, taking them by and large, are a mighty good lot. B ERT HALL tells a good one) about a citizen of the wide open spaces, where the cattle business flourishes, who went down to the city and irayed Into one of the ritzy restaurants. A head waiter, looking like a prince of the blood royal and acting the same way, came up and took away his hat and coat. Telling about it later, he said: "The son of a gun had me bluffed. After hi-Jacklng my hat and coat, he handed me one of these doggy bills of fare with the dishes all got up In foreign languages that no he man from the sagebrush could be expected to understand. "I was sitting there wondering how I was going . to get something to keep me from starving, when a fellow came In all got up like the Prince of Wales, and I'm telling you be had that waiter twice as badly bluffed as the waiter had me. I'd have given my best shirt and a pair of pants to be able to put it over that waiter like he did." - AT this point, according to Bert's story, somebody asked him what the big shot In the boiled shirt and the high hat ordered. "Well sir," the citizen from the wide open spaces answered disgust edly, "X kept an eye peeled myself just to find that out, and I'll be d d if he didn't order rabbit!"

(Associated Press Photo) CLOSER AT HAND BY PM CYCLES A. T. & T. Engineers Ex perimenting With New Plan May Be Link to Make Television Practical By David Dletz (United Press Special Correspondent) NEW YORK, (UP) "Pictures in pipes" briefly describes the new transmission method developed by engineers of the American Telephone & Telegraph company, which may prove the link needed to make tele vision practicable and which could be made on the basis of a system for transmitting pictures over wires su perior to any now In use. The new system, known technically aa a "system for wide-band transmis sion over co-axial lines," represents the work of two A. T. Sc T. engin eers, L. Bspenschield and M. E. Strleby and Is described in detail in the Bell System Technical Journal. Briefly, It consists in supplanting the familiar telephone wires with a "co-axial line," a system- consisting of a metal tube or pipe with a wire running through Its center and in sulated from it. Existing types of wire circuits are able to carry currents of frequencies ranging up to tens of thousands of cycles. They arc not able to cany much higher frequencies, because as the two engineers explain, these cir cults depend upon balance to protect, them against external noises and It tbecomes more and more difficult to maintain a sufficiently high degree of balance at the higher frequencies. Carry Million Cycles With the new co-axlal lines, the two engineers say, it is possible to carry frequency bands ranging up to a million cycles or more. "It appears from recent develop ment work that under some condi tions it will be economically advant ageous to make use of considerably wider frequency ranges for telephone and telegraph transmission than are now In use," the twa engineers write. "Furthermore the possibilities of tele vision have come Into active consid eration and It Is realized that a band of the order of one million cycles or mors in width would be essential fot television of reasonably high defini tion If that art were to come into practical use. "The future commercial application of these system will depend upon a great many factors Including the de mand for additional large groups of communication facilities or of facili ties for television. "The telephone channels provided by the system may be u.ed for other types of communication services such as multi-channel telegraph, teletype, picture transmission, etc." Pipe Is Shield The co-axlsj line has the advant age of being an unbalanced system. The high frequency current travel on the outside of the central wire and the Inside of the metal pipe. Hie outMdc of the met-al pipe acts as a shleM. concentrating Interferences on Its exterior and keeping them out of the signals. The two engineers have developed a co-AV,al line which is as flexible as en ordinary cable. The pipe 1 made of overlapping copper strips which in turn is covered with a leid aiirath. The central wire is an ordin ary copper wire held In place and insulated from t'.:e tube by a cottOai string wound spirally around It.
