L Miueie Too Dumb for Words STRANGE how the crime of forgery persists. Trying to pass bad checks appears to be a monomania with some unfortu nate people. For one forger who get3 away with the crime, ninety-nine are caught red-handed. And the one forger, leaving, a trail of evidence behind him, never keeps out of the pen for long. A conviction for forgery means at least four or five years in prison. Yet according to prison records, a large percentage of forgers after release, return to the futile racket, with the alacrity of the drug fiend to his dope, and back they go again. A Grants Pass boy entered a plea of guilty to forgery here on Friday. lie will be sentenced tomorrow. The same day in Portland one II. S. Peters was convicted of forgery and sen tenced to five years. It developed that he had just been released from McNeil's Island, only taking time for a shave and haircut, before he was up to his old tricks again. Forgers should have their heads examined. Unless they really wish to spend their lives behind the bars, entering this department of crime, is proof positive, they are too dumb for words. Under the present system of quick detection, signing a rubber check, is simply signing up for a life in jail. Saving the Railroads AFTER about two years of diagnosis Federal Coordinator of Transportation Joseph B. Eastman, has prescribed steps that should be taken to correct the ills of the nation's trans portation industry. Three possible solutions were proposed: (1) A broadening of the government's regulatory powers to include all forms of transportation under an enlarged Interstate Commerce Com mission; (2) Large scale consolidations of railroads under gov ernment compulsion and on regional lines; or (3) Government ownership and operation of railroads. The first plan was recommended for adoption, but with a warning that if it did not succeed either or both of the other two ways out would be inevitable. No bitter pill to railroad executives was this latest adminis tration proposal for "reform", because the need for "something to be done" for the railroads is generally recognized. Forjhe year 193-1 (preliminary estimates indicate) railroads of the coun try will show a deficit of around millions after charges. This compares with a deficit of almost 11 millions in 1933 and over 150 millions in 1932. Over the past three years 21 major lines have failed to cover fixed charges. "COORDINATOR EASTMAN'S program for federal control of all important transportation facilities included: (a) Reorganization of ICC to include membership from 11 to 16, including permanent coordinator and with a chairman appointed by the president. The commission would be segregated into four divisions railroads, water carrier and pipe lines, motor and air carriers, and finance and a board of control of five members estab lished. (b) Regulation of motor, air, and water carriers and pipe lines. (e) Revision of Bankruptcy Act to require consent of more than 50 of creditors and stockholders instead of 66 2-3, and to permit the court to impose a rcorgani- zation plan in which the reorganized carrier's fixed charges do nof exceed 807 of the average income dur ing the three consecutive years prior to passage of the act in which income was lowest. (d) Provision for payment of dismissal wages to em ployes displaced through coordination projects sanc tioned or directed by coordinator. (e) Amendment of Interstate Commerce Act to permit, among other things, the commission to prescribe mini mum as well as maximum joint rail-water rates, aud to establish through routes regardless of "short-hauling" of any carrier. Because Mr. Eastman's plan was along expected lines, its announcement had little markctwise effect. The proposal to bring all forms of transportation under ICC jurisdiction and the further simplification of reorganization pro ceedings are generally welcomed. With the railroads awakened to their peril and improving their service to the people, as rapidly aud thoroughly as finaucial resources permit ; and with the government committed to help them in every possible way, it would seem that the solution of the railroad problem could be really effected, within the next few years.

They want , to be called doc tors. They maintain, with much logic, that they have the same legal claim on the title aa we physicians have I concede the law of the state sanction the euitom of granting den tors the degree of D. D. 6. (Doctor of Dental Surgery) Just aa It aanctlons the custom of granting the degree of M. D. (Doctor of Medicine) which 1 sufficient to cover all surgeons. too. But X do not admit lthat the den tor have a good moral right to be caled "Doctor." Originally, phy sicians did ail the dentistry or den tal surgery. That's how It happen that den tor today call themselves "Doctor." The law give toenail trimmers, spectacle fitters end(dlver back-scratchers and chln-chuckers privilege to call themselves doctors. Indeed, so many more or less legiti mate charlatans now exploit this trade name for the prestige It car ries, that you never can tell what you are dealing with until you Investigate hi antecedents or his credentials, they all yearn to be called doctlr be cause they all acknowledge that the title originally meant physician. But this particular den tor waa mod about something else Seems hi wife followed the reduction method I recommend. After a week or two or It Bhe weighed nothing leas and ahe was still as hungry aa ever, in fact she wanted more than ever to eat So I am a totally depraved specimen, in the den tor' estimation, and be can not understand how 1 am per mitted to get away with It . . .

I wish to thank Mr. Jagger for direct ing these questions my way and giv ing me an opportunity to answer for, perhaps others may not have some of these things clear in their minds. First. Mr. Jsgcer. you acree with my statement about the grocer col lecting his tax from the consumer, so. I am going to agree with you that no one but the consumer pay any taxes. How's that? From here on our ways must diverge somewhat I fear, for you proceed on the theory that the "rich man" isn t,a consum er, also that the grocer Isn't a con sumer. Just who Is a consumer? My thought seems to tell me that eery man. woman or child on the face ot the globe ta a consumer In a greater or lee degree. Some tew years ago I had occasion to be In New York city and was shown an apartment cn Rlvrrside Drive where the "play boys" gambol on the green, for which one of M moneyed tribe was paying an annual rental of $10,000. Thl would mean a fortune for me. but he as p.ttln,; It every year. Just for a ptac to live Not being familiar with such a IK.

Now it 1 possible to top uch degenera-, tlon and even to reverse the process, that ta. to restore a measure of the vigor and resiliency of youth. But to expect to work such a miracle In two week la too much. A dentor or chin chucker might do It, but I'm only a doctor.

Cal. that the most of his wealth waa in vested in stock and bond and that he gambled a huge sum on the stock market each day. Under the Townsend plan this man will now be required to pay his full and Just share of a tax to support the government, which he ha been able to escape in the past. I think that there Is no tax more fair than one placed on a man's ability to spend; the more he spends the more tax he pay. But let ua not get too far away from the grocer. When the grocer buys the merchan dise which you consume. It makes him a consumer too, doesn't it? He has made a sales transaction and, as a consumer of the gooda he buys, he pays hi tax also. The wholesaler pay hi tax when he buy from the factory, and the factory owner pays hla when he buys the raw material I believe that the government say that the average number of times that raw material changea hands be fore reaching the ultimate consumer aa a finished product, la about five or six. For purposes of easy computa tion let ia say that a two percent tax. starting from the raw material to the finished product, would meau an added cost of ten to twelve per cent. On a $30 suit of clothe It would mean an added cost of $3.00 to $3.60 per suit. Not so much when you have the money to buy It -with. Is It? But a powerful lot when you are out of work and have nothing, which la the condition that many of us have been facing for nearly five years. Now, with this point explained. don't you see, Mr. Jagger, that the poor man 1 benefitted two ways by the adoption of the Townsend plan, for, by obligating the rich man to pay hi Just share of hla nation's tax. It relieves the poor man from much of the burden that he has been un justly bearing, and It restores his buying power by giving him steady employment at a good salary, r.o that thl ten to twelve percent additional tax doesn't mean a thing to him. ' Which woutd you prefer, a salary of , $150 per month with fifteen to twen- j ty dollars per month added to your ; living costs, or eight days work per month at $3.00 per day to try to keep your family on? A word regarding your statement Hint "I have no objection to a tax being put on the poor to keep the poor." Don't you know Mr. Jasper, that the very thing you have Just said is. in a larce degree, responsible lor the present deplorable condi tions? The poor have not only been taxed to keep the poor but to keep many of the rich a well. For the past forty to fifty years the rich have dictated every piece of legislation that has affected the economic condi tion of this country and. of course they would see that no legislation was enacted that would place any ;;rr:t amount of the burden on them. A. to this tax being 700 years old and that some of us understand it. 1 know not how o?d It is nor care, the tinw to apply it and make it work is now. Christ cave ti rule to teach ur. how to live. How many of us are do ing as He told us to do? Yet tiie truths He told us and the rules He laid down are Just as applicable lo dav and lust as necessary as whn He was on earth. This Townsend pl.n doesn't advocate giving the people something for nothing. Instead ol hiring men to do about a fourth of .i day's aork for eight day a month it MM per day and asking them 10 keep their families on that amount, 't proposes to htre r.bout e!i;M mUlt'ii men and women to cresre a deniano .for Ubor, to Uiat tae now Id'.e nul- I Hone can get steady work and have I their buying power restored by earn 'ing a good salary In the regular chan I nela of Industry. Now, your last question Mr. Jag- ger, that you cay you cannot answer and don't think I can. Here my try at It. This Is how you a, ate It, "If you or anyone else give the poor and newly $200 a month, what do the poor and needy receive?" Answer, 1200 a month. L. R. SHURTLEFP. Feb. 1. 1935.
