Why Elect a Governor?
WE elect a Governor of Oregon because we at least a ma
jority of us believe him to be the man, best qualified
for the job.
We then turn him over to a Legislature that proceeds to act
upon the assumption that the duly elected Governor isn't quali
fied to run a peanut stand, much less be chief executive of this
state.
General Martin was elected Governor less than 3 months ago
by a surprisingly large plurality. The people chose him because
they liked hira as a man, approved the general principles of his
platform, wanted to see him have a free hand in administering
the affairs of this state.
But from the moment the Legislature opened, a majority of
the members have apparently spent a large share of their time,
trying to hamper and hamstring the chief executive, and throw
just as many monkey wrenches into the Martin program, as they
could collect.
AT the outset of his campaign General Martin, told the people,
that if elected, he would try to abolish or consolidate use
less boards; eliminate duplication of effort and overlapping of
authority; institute rigid economy in the antiquated system, of
state administration.
Naturally the Governor can't
not given AUTHORITY to do them.
But when bills are introduced giving him this authority
placing upon him the responsibility for action and results the
old weather-beaten squawk of dictatorship, is raised, and the
Governor is accused of trying to bull his way through, with no
regard for constitutional or popular rights.
TOMMY ROT !
IP the Martin administration bills arc imperfectly drawn, let
tit a imnerfections be corrected. But there is nothinif dicta
torial or unconstitutional in them. They are merely measures en
abling the Governor to do what ho wants to do and promised
to do.
What earthly use is there in
ernor, and at the very outset of
in a legislative straight jacket,
Even a suspected felon is entitled to the assumption of in
nocence until the reverse is proved.
Is' it too much to ask that the Legislature, assume Governor
Martin knows what he is about, until the fact has been demon
strated that he DOESN'T? ,
This is no plea to give the Governor a carte-blanche to do
whatever he wishes. It is a plea to give the man a chance in
stead of blocking his program before it even starts.
'
WE think it fortunate that Oregon Iihs, as Governor, a man
who wishes in assume rpsnonsibilit.v for imnrovino- condi
tions in this state, instead of one
the buck to others.
In the final analysis, this is all Governor Martin asks.
, We are convinced the people of the state, as a whole, demand
that their representatives at Salem, grant this request.
He's No Angel
THIS man Blantou of Texas
fortitiirln. For n Tjon.fl.Sfnr
in congress for several years and wants to STAY there, he ap
pears to possess the fearlessness of a saw-tooth tiger.
In face of the fact there are said to be 10,000,000 votes be
hind the Townsend Old Age pension plan, mid the ultimatum
from the eminent author that any congressman opposing the
plan, will promptly be shipped buck to bis constituents with one
hand grasping a lily. Representative Wanton rose in his seat the
other day to remark :
"I am advising my constituents that the Townsend plsn Is noth
ing In the world but bunk, pure and simple, and tor them not to let
him (Dr. Townsend) get any of their money."
Supplementing this blunt statement the Texas Congressman,
maintained Dr. Townsend and an army of hangers-on were liv
ing in luxury at the Ambassador hotel in Washington and it is
"the aged poor of the United States who are paying the bill."
Townseud's profits from book sales and contributions from
his misguided followers, continued the speaker, were $750,000
up to last October and have been even larger since then, eon
eluding as follows :
"la Dr. Townsend Interested in the nged people or what he gets
out of them? At a later date I will turn Inn some interesting facta on
this subject."
As if this were not enough raw meat for one day, the in
trepid legislator (in the same speech) proceded to take a swipe
at organized labor and certain features of the New Deal as fol
lows:
"Now. ! want to mention another subject. Are we going to be able
to spend our way back Into prosperity by voting and spending bil
lions of dollars for our unborn posterity to finance and pay hereaf
ter? Are we going to bring back normalcy in Industry, In business,
In that way? I am going to say some things now that I don't believe
another man in this House will say. I am going to tell you what I
think. Some of you may think ss I do, but you won't talk as I do.
If we would repeal that foolish law that Congress passed that took
from the courts of the United States the power of Injunction to stop
violations of law, to stop murder, to atop the destruction of prop
erty, when labor unions are destroying and murdering, and If we
would provide nafe means for all labor to work under, provide proper
environment, provide, if you please, a proper wage scale, a scale that
would permit living under the American standard of living, and then
If we would write on every signboard In the United States that from
now on the head of every business enterprise In the United states
is going to be permitted to run his own business, according to law.
and that if he wants to work men who are not union men he has the
right to do tt If they want to work for him, and that no organlra
ttoa in the world has a right to force hia workers against their mill
to unionize. If we would do these things, we would restore business
In the United States, and If Europe too, would wake up and adopt
that policy, we would restore buslnesa in the whole world, because
business won t be restored to normalcy as long aa you have some
outsider running It. (Applause )
"Soma of you think you cannot make that kind of a speech and
come bock here, but you can. I have been making that kind of
a speech for 18 years. My district Is as thoroughly organlred as any
other district In the United States, from the union standpoint, but
most of the union men 1 represent are thinking men. they are men
of intelligence, they believe that a worker has the right to Join a
union or not to Join, Just as he pleases. And they do not like taking
orders from others."
Whether one ugrees or disagrees with the Texas Congress
man's remarks, few we believe will withhold from him the trib
ute of :
"WHAT a maul"
do any of these things if he is
'
electing a Governor ANY Gov

and treating him as a suspect.

80MB DOCTORS DO OPERATIONS OTHRRS PERFORM THEM
The Injection treatment of varicose
veins Is now the method of choice, in
spite of the efforts of the powers that
be to pooh-pooh
tnla method of
r -.sflfifcft '-' treatment when
It was first In
troduced to the
public. One ot
the main objec
tions raised by
the entrenched
surgeons and
their hired
mouthpieces was
that It was "dan
gerous" to Inject
t r r 1 1 ants into
vein. That was
a theoretical conception, nut the Big
Guns made their dupes believe It the
wisdom, of experience. 1
Part of the agitation of the Amer
ican Medical association crowd against
the diathermy method of extirpating
tonsils was based on the same old
hypothetical Idea that electro-coagulation
was "dangerous.' They even
spun out the theory elaborately, pic
turing the dreadful consequences of
the formation of dense scar tissue
which might conceivably seal in a
focus of infection, and then whero'd
you be? But again, the entrenched
and desperately fighting surgeons
were off on the wrong foot, too easily
misled, I fear for the versatile Morris
never has had any experience In prac
tice to speak of and today the dia
thermy method Is established aa an
alternative for a major operation in
aU handicapped patients, and as the
method of choice for some of us who
are not handicapped physically but
Just don't care to be laid up In hos
pital if we can avoid It.
Right now the American Medical
association Is furiously fighting
against the threat of the ambulant
treatment of hernia. More and more
good reputable physicians, many of
them members or fellows of the
American Medical association, are
adopting the Improved Injection
method and obtaining a most satis
factory result with It. The surgeons
look with dismay on the steady en
croachment of ordinary physicians on
their preserves and they are willing
that our great A. M. A. spend any
amount of our funds to stop these
Inroads on crude surgery.
In one lengthy harangue against
the ambulant method, broadcast by
the American Medical association,
some masked mystery Is quoted as
follows:
C. Prom a well known sur
geon, also a past president of the
American Medical association:

PALM BEACH. Jan. 35. Florida,
far more then a lash of the hurri
cane, dreads another boom. Natives
inquire tremulously : "You don't

not out-lived the
horror of what
Ed Sullivan
calls "building
up for a terrific
let-down."
There Is the

And Florida Is determined to have
no more flukes. Yet social columns

several hundred and band-box shops,

pertly bright again. But steadying
hands hold the reins. There Is not

geous gadgets In keeping with the
fabulous .era. Half-built Florida
with the rest of the world took a
nose dive. And the structure, now
scrbrous from disease and decay, is
a stark monument to an Insanity
that prostrated us all.
There Is healthy Jealousy between

hernia has been very satisfac
tory aa there are few recurrences
and practically no Immediate
mortality. Of this account sur
geons have hesitated to give up
this plan of treatment and sub
stitute any other for it. Fur
thermore, treatment by the 'In
jection method' requires consid
erable time as It has to be re-
pea ted at Intervals. For this
reason too it la not suitable for
patients who come from a dis
tance, since It would require
them to remain away from home
for quite a while. If an opera
tion la performed patients are
able to return home in a com
paratively short time."
By "few recurrences" this unknown
well-known means only one out of
every 20 that's the chance of fail
ure whether the hernia la treated by
operation or by injection. There la
Just as great a chance that injection
treatment will fall to cure as there
Is that the radical operation will
fall to cure.
When the surgeon speaks of "per
forming" an operation rather than
merely doing It, or operating, bs
means, I gather from the synonym
book, that the end Is nothing and
the doing everything. That's what
alls American surgery.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
AMELIA E A R H AR T PUTNAM,
speaking modestly for -publication,
says:
"It never occurred to me that any
one might be interested in my flight
from Honolulu to the mainland.'
POOH! Pooh! AieUa!
, We're all more or less normal
people, and since tha world began
normal people have been Interested
In deedB of daring. Involving the
risking of life to prove whether or
not something could be done.
And, since the world began, nor
mal people have admired those pos
sessing the courage to risk their lives
to find out. '
AMELIA EARH ART PUTNAM
wanted to know whether a wo
man could fly alone from Honolulu
to San Francisco bay, so she TRIED
IT.
Christopher Columbus, some 450
years ago, wanted to know, FOR
SURE, whether the world was flat,
as most people then believed, or
round, as he believed. So he set sail
to the west, In three small boats, In
order to find out.
Some three or four thousand years
ago time gets hazy and Indistinct as
we ' get that far back Hanno, a
Phoenician, wanted to know what lay
beyond the Mediterranean, so In a
small open boat, with a few chosen
companions, he sailed through the
straits of Gibraltar and down the
coast of Africa. He got back safe,
and he must have had a great tale
to tell.
AMELIA EARHART, flying from the
Hawaiian Islanda to the main
land, had only the ordinary hazards
of machinery and weather to contend
with.
Columbus and Hanno had to con
tend with the hazards of the weather
and the inadequacies of small boats.
but With SUPERSTITIOUS FEARS as
well.
That was a frightful handicap.-
IN COLUMBUSime, ft was pretty
generally believed that .the world
was flat, and that at some polpt far
out in the ocean how far no one
knew one came to the edge of the
world, where the waters of the sea
poured over Into empty space.
It took real courage to find out,
by actual trying, whether or not that
was true.
IN HANNO'S daytsuperstltlous fear
of the unknown was vastly greater
than in Columbus' day. Nobody In
the then "civilized" world knew what
existed beyond the friendly shores of
the Mediterranean, and lively imagi
nations conjured up some frightful
terrors. , -
So he took the chance and FOUND
out!
NOTE this, please:- '
Since the earliest beginnings of
recorded history, the UNKNOWN has
Inspired human beings with varying
degrees of terror, and In their efforts
to Imagine the unknown they have
been Inclined to emphasise Its DAN
GERS. But, more or less without fall, as
the unknown has come to bt KNOWN
tt has been found to be less terrible
than It had been Imagined.
IN THESE daya o considerable un
certainty, the FUTURE Is quite
unknown to most of us. and follow
ing the habits of our ancestors we
are Inclined to people it with terrora.
Because we people the future with
terrors, we lack CONFIDENCE IN IT.
Listen:
As, over the long years of the past,
the unknown has become known, Its
imagined terrors have uniformly
either VANISHED or have been great
ly minimized.
So. you see. It is highly probable
that the future, when we get Into it,
won't be as terrible as we have im
agined.

DURING COLO SEASON
SALEM, Ore. (UP) Extreme cau

during the current cold season was
urged by Dr. W. H. Lytle of the live
stock division of the state department
of agriculture.
Lambs, colts, calves and pigs have

is the direct result of chilling, said
Lytle. Jugs, bottles and milk cans

MY CHILOHOOp DAYS
When I was a child my days were
spent
In roaming the green hills far and
wide;
I knew the name of every bird,
And of every flower I spied.
I learned the ways of the sly gray
squirrel,
And learned the birds' sweet song;
The flowers brighter bloomed for me,
' And their fragrance lasted long.
The timid doe with her spotted fawn,
Would stand end gaze at me,
And the bluejay called in his shrill,
shrill voice,
From the limb of a nearby tree.
But now I am old, no more do I roam.
Among the tall green trees:
No more do I smell the scent of th
pines, .
Nor breathe the pure mountain
breeze.
My path In life has taken me far
Far away from those virgin hills,
But they are ever my guiding star,
To which my heart still thrills.
When I am blue and the world's not
right.
And mv heart Is full of nain.
The prayer I breathe Is the prayer
to oe just a carefree child again.
