X ' (Colorado Frew) Editorial Correspondence EUGENE, Oregon, January 27 The seventeenth annual Oregon Press conference is over. The state press conference is ahvavs held at Eugene in the winter. The meeting of the state editorial association is helfi in dent hannens to live. As Hugh ning Semi-Weekly, is the 1935 will be held at Hood Kiver where two outstanding features win be an inspection of Bonneville dam and a climb up Mt. Hood. . a a . Dean Eric W. Allen is the papa of the annual press confer ence and guides its destinies with a firm and loving hand. He decides upon the program, selects least presided as toastmnster at auspices of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce. Incidentally this year the dean gave the most interesting pnper of the session, the result of his painstaking research of the newspaper circula tion in the state. As is true of most of the papers and discussions of the conference, the subject matter had little or no public interest, but was of intense interest to the newspaper men. a a a By common accord this meeting was regarded as one of the most interesting and worth while held in many years. In addi tion to the contributions of the Oregon newspaper fraternity, Dr. Dexter M. Keezer, .new President of Reed college, just re turning from conferences with New Dealers in Washington, D.C., gave a very interesting talk on the subject "What's Ahead? How Much Can One Safely Predict)" Dr. Keezer is astonishingly youthful in appearance, somehow reminded one of Leslie Howard meticulous diction. Not feeling well the new college head did not stand while he talk but, curled one foot under him on the table, and the words flowed out, with the sweetness and smooth ness of an idling twin-six motor. Too bad President Keezer were extremely provocative, and lively discussion would undoubtedly have followed. Talking with a group of editors afterward we found their reactions the same as ours. With at least two did not agree, first that price fixing in the NRA inevitably, menus price RAISING, and the newspapers are feeding their readers too many "fixed" opinions from the gossip columns of Washington special writers, like ample in the Mail Tribune. Price fixing as we understand by large combinations, in the effort to destroy weaker competi tion, and if properly regulated would benefit the small rather than the large business man. As for what Dr. Keezer termed "gossip" columns we don't regard them in that light, but Washington, D. CV, Which is the mation on national affairs at the present time. Such features we believe answer a genuine public demand, and whereas they may indulge at times in gossip it is never presented as anything else, so there is no reason for the intelligent reader to be deceived. However the other editors felt discussion, along such lines, would was undoubtedly disobeying doctor i orders in appearing at all. As to answering the immediate Keezer gave convincing evidence as another s. Closely associated with the New Deal, from an ncademie and consumer's standpoint, the Reed college president is certainly in a better position to mnke an intelligent prophecy than any other man in the state. But the best he could do was to outline first the optimistic view, second the pessimistic view. and let his hearers chooso between them. One big grain of iomfort for the average man tho pessimistic view, namely business improvement will inevitably lead to another period of inflation "similar to that, of 192!)" to be followed by another economio collapse. Accepting this view of the worst thnt mav come, the pill nt least will bo SUGAR COATED! The other outside speaker, was honor guest, at the Saturday noon luncheon, none other than Col. Guy T. Viskniskki. nation ally known newspaper surgeon, now engaged in face-lifting the Oregonian. The colonel was another living acy of that liveliest of all weekly news magazines, "Time". For Time, claimed the colonel, looked like a venerable pelican, whereas he is an extremely well built and handsome gentlemnn in full vigor of his HQ's, with a well bronzed Grecian profile, and a pair of the softest, saddest dark brown eyes we have ever seen. The high light of the colonel's Governor Martin whom it seems the colonel knew back in south ern Illinois half a century ago, when "Harry" as he calls him was a West Point cadet, and Guy was a kid on a fractious Shet land pony. It was a tribute, as the speaker said, by one of tho few surviving "standpat" Republicans TO a Democratic expo nent of Roosevelt's New Deal, and when Col. V. urged the people of the state to rally around their new governor, regard less of party and assist him in his job to give Oregon the very best there is in him, the man's sincerity and feeling sent a thriil through the entire dining hall. What we got from the rest so much what he said as what more accurately perhaps, not in his WORDS, hut their impli cations).

THF IMPERFECT EMM Correspondent who U the mother of two fine luu sayi aha enjoys perfect health, but hae a bone to pick with Mi.f i'r n - -a me on anotner cur-, riisb auv points out, she had completed the first year of her count In medicine when she married and gave lip the In tention of be coming a .physic ian. That was 20 years ago. but she distinctly re nt e m b e r s how several of the lecturers and lnstruC' tors of the freshman medical class dwelt In the necessity of "keeping the system clean" and on the dangers of "imperfect elimination." Therefore It seems regrettable that I should de ride the layman who believes in autointoxication"' or, as the quacks now call it, ' auto toxicosis." Shall the pupil be wiser than the teacher, she asks and two or three pages more than she would have written had she completed her medical course, even 20 years ago. This business of correcting "imper fect elimination" and "keeping the system clean" Is a highly profitable business for the nostrum and quack ery people. With apologies to the whipper- snappers who Instructed and lectured to the freshman medical student 20 years ago many medical schools still Intrust the freshmen to young whip persnapper teachers, who, by the way. are expected to follow the book and express no personal opinions upon medical questions I must reiterate that there Is no ground In our pres ent knowledge of physiology or path ology for the morbid notion thnt "Im perfect elimination" has anything to do with the many disturbance of health which charlatans ascribe to autointoxication" or "autotoxlcosls." Note carefully. If you are not too dumb, that I do not deny that many individuals suffer in health by reason of their Introspection, anxiety and worry over this Imaginary "imperfect elimination" and equally imaginary "autointoxication" which the nos trum vendors and the charlatans con stantly feed to the gulllible wiseacre laity. I tell you there are millions in It, and that's all there Is In It. No. 26 In the Little Lessons In the Ways of Health series Is a booklet en titled "The Constipation Habit."

Answer I believe in being well protected against smallpox myself, and I believe It my duty to see that children or others dependent on me are properly vaccinated. But I do not think we are Justified In enforcing this inoculation with cowpox on any intelligent person who does not want It. So I applaud and cheer the spirit ed resistance some people offer. I think opposition to any law, ordi nance or regulation which is obvious ly calculated to enforce vaccination Is sufficient proof that the medical boneheads are wrong in their atti tude. Enough for one who believes in vaccination to take It himself and to teil others "Here it Is. Take It or leave It." Ed.

Palm Beach is so pacxed with nat ural beauty that astonishing scenes are frequently overlooked. Scenes to which they would be running excur sions In Europe. There are trails chiseled through rock, bursts of flow ers that grow haphazardly In swampy soli, mlrrory Inlets fringed with pois onous looking Jungle growths that suggests the movie shots of Africa. And- confidential clusters of silver barked trees rearing to amazing heights in skyrocket bursts of green. All such colorings are harshly daz zling In a brilliant sun. But benl aoned In moonlight they suffuse glamorous ecstasy. Long after mid night young couples silently lost in the illimitable wonder of It all are pedaled along In the wicker chairs. Marriages may be made in heaven, but engagements are made In Palm Beach. Indeed, I know one young white flanneled sprout who has be become thrice engaged and the sea son Is Just In full swing.

It Is added that fruit and vege table crop In Florida, Georgia. Mis sissippi, Louisiana and Texas suf fered severely. 11T ELL. presumably, according to " modern ideas, we should give thanks for the damage Inflicted on fruit and vegetable crops down along the gulf coast, for the modern Idea seems to be that the less we produce the better off we are. THIS writer, who Is admittedly old fashioned about some things, al though striving to retain an open mind toward new Ideas, finds It hard to believe that any nation can be come prosperous as a result of crop destruction whether by fire, flood, frost, drought or plowing under. About, the only conception of pros perity that holds water la to produce a lot and have a lot. WE NEED, of course Just as hu manity has needed since the world began to share what Is pro duced ft little more equally among EVERYBODY, with the favored, few getting a little less of the good things and the less fortunate many getting more. But we've got to keep this In mind. If we're going to get anywhere you can't share what ISNT PRODUCED. GETTING back to the cold weather down south, do you really sup pose those more than 60 people died as the direct and Immediate result of the cold weather? Probably not. Many of them, per haps most, merely happened to die while the weather was cold. I It makes a better story to Indicate that the weather was so cold that people died of It, and we newspaper people are not above telling a story In the best possible way. - FOR that matter, who Is? Telling a good story to make It sound as good as possible Is ft human trait. We all do It. WHILE we're on the subject of food which we were while back here Is a statement that will inter est you: More food Is consumed In restau rants In this country than in homes. -- THAT statement was made to this writer the other day by a man who is familiar enough with official statistics that he should know what he Is talking about. It Is really a little surprising to the average person. Communications Resents Jenkins Article To the Editor: Frank Jenkins la in error. In his article. In your Thursday's Issue, he ascribes selfish motives to the signers of the Townsend plan petitions and brands the leadership as "false. He apparently thinks he knows what the signers had In mind when they sign ed. He doesn't. I signed a petition and many of my friende did. .Some of us resent having motives ascribed to us. L personalty, signed because I firmly believe that. If a two percent sales (or transaction) tax will raise sufficient funds, the plan, or modifi cation of It, should be put Into effect. On the other hand I, and many other signers with whom I talked, agree that If It takes any very large tax the plan la definitely out. We want con gress to seriously consider the quest- tlon, go Into It with the idea that It will work, then get the available fact and act accordingly. If the plan Is not feasible congress should not pass It, but should let us know why. I do not believe the brains of the nation are centered only In the few such' as the president, Frances Perkins Frank Jenkins or Dr. Townsend. They all talk facts, but none of them actu ally know what a two percent trans action tax will bring In. I believe, if the real truth were known, that Per- kins. Jenkins, et al would be found to be as far off as Townsend. These people who say positively It will not work and who do not wish it consid ered by congress, are Just aa selfish. In my humble opinion, and are fol lowing Just as "false leadership" as are the advocates of the plan. Figures do lie. There Is no truth so deceiving as a half truth. If we start with a false hvpothests o'jr findings are false. The figures we have available are not true. I don't believe any statistic of magnitude 1 true. It Is merely an emtmate. a guess. Dr. Townsend quotes from what he says are congressional fig ures. Frances Perkins does the same. Who Is right? I venture that neither is. or both are, according to what fig ures are used. When we set ourselves up to brand reputable (heretofore! cltlrens such ' ss Senator Borah, legislators of Ore gon and other states, and other peo- I pie who have signed the petitions or j SAked for consideration of the plan b selfiPh and lacking intelligence we have built for ourselves a platform of I egotism. selfl.hneAs ard intolerance J Millions of people have asked ccn ! gress for a fair hrins.
