Wah., durli-aj the last vcat. T aim, f- -t r rV W'l I d w m 1 f MflA, Was Ever Thus A FEW months ago President Eoosevelt was being criticized for being too pro'labor playing for the labor vote all the time. The epidemic of industrial strikes and particularly the shipping walk-out were laid at his door. Now we note from the report of the debates in congress on the. $4,000,000,000 relief bill that the President is opposed to labor because he opposes an amendment to make relief wages identical with the prevailing wage. So the world wags on, and the man who opposes extremes and in his determination to be fair to all, charts a course in the middle of the road, is subjected to a cross-fire from both sides. IX our humble opinion President Roosevelt was right on -both counts. He insisted the right of labor to bargain collectively should not be abridged. Such a due. , On the other hand, in his effort to reduce relief 'costs, and thus make the tax payer's money go farther, in maintaining emergency relief, he believes relief wages should be essentially SUBSISTEN'CE wages. He wishes to eliminate the destructive practice of encourag ing workers to choose federal relief, either because federal relief pays better, or pays just as well as legitimate employment. He wishes no citizen to run the risk of suffering or starvation, but when the government removes this risk, he believes, and in our judgment believes rightly, that the government's responsibil ity, ends. But just as the politicians did everything they ecnld to capitalize for their own benefit, the resentment in business and capitalistic circles against the President's labor policy; they now try to do the same thing, with similar resentment in the ranks of organized labor, because the President refuses to obey the orders of the A. F. h. 9 SMALL wonder that every President regardless of party, and also regardless of the partisan support in that body he may enjoy breathes a sigh of relief when congress adjourns. Politics, politics, politics, that is the theme song that never ends. Not what is right and fair, not what is best for the coun try at large, but what is politically expedient, what will mean votes there and there only is the spring of action for prac tically every congress. This is one of the main reasons aj a whole are getting more and more disgusted with politics and politicians. YET, IRONICALLY, enough, it in, in the last analysis, the tlKnnln TTTF.AfSF.rA'ITQ rl,n nrn in Mama Vnr ao lnn ac the country is swarming with minority dictions, each seeking its own selfish ndvnntagc, regardless of the common weal, and rewarding or penalizing political representatives ACCORDING LY such a situatioVi, regrettable and demoralizing as it is, will continue to prevail. A higher standard of peace time patriotism, finer ideals of citizenship, must he aroused expect to see much improvement, our politicians. A Good Sign WI1AT might be termed the criminal psychology of this coun trv nnnenrs In ha nn the lin.trrnde . i i " ' i n There was the uncompromising Ilauptmann verdict. Then came the Kennamcr case the son of a prominent jurist who, in a fit of jealous rage, shot down his pal, was NOT acquitted as he so flippantly predicted, but was convicted of manslaughter and may have to spend the rest of his life in the penitentiary. And yesterday at Olympia, Washington a young man was found guilty of murdering his Japanese-American sweetheart, and sentenced to death. In the second case particularly, all' the time honored flim flam of the conventional murder defense was used. There was the inevitable struggle, the sudden shot, the lapse of memory, the befuddled brain, the crime was either a deplorable accident or just the reflex of self defense, etc, etc. Nor was there any absence of perjury to back up such obvious clap trap. The two defendants were young, good looking, neither lacked ample funds. Their lawyers, especially in the Keunamer case ran the gamut of emotions from A to 55, in pleading for frcedo.n. The jury in Oklahoma, and the in New Jersey, refused to be swayed by dramatics or sentimen tality, and went straight to the issue at hand. Had the crime been committed, was the defendant guilty t Their answer was 'yes", and they acted accordingly. Good work and may the juries of this country keep it up! Nothing will do more to check the crime wave in this country, than a practical demonstration that the time honored hocus poena of criminal lawyers, WILL NO LONCiLR WORK! Oregonian Backs Martin jOOVKKNOIl MARTIN has again declared his opposition to the enactment of any laws to increase income, excise or properly tuxes, and acninst any luxury or other new taxes. The Oregonian hereby repeats its approbation of the gover nor's tax policy, though recognizing Hie difficulties that con front it. There arc pressing demands for additional state revenues. Some arc worthy in their own right; some are worthy by com parison with demands that were granted in the past. Rut the tax lo ul is now a grievous one, and times are still hard. Unsincss and industry and personal and corporate initiative in all enterprises need Hie encouragement of a stabilized tax system.

They have achieved a degree of success In practice and they naturally wish to retain their es tabllshed reputa tlons and hold what practice they can. There' fore they tnstlnc tlvely frown upon any radical de velopment which threatens to take practice away from them. This ta putting the matter in a sim ple forthright fashion, but it la the truth. This attitude of the old estab lished members of the profession toward, new departures waa manifest In the behavior of these eminent gentlemen and their spokesmen when the diathermy method for extirpating tonsils was first widely brought to the attention of the public. Some of the utterances and printed re marks of the old-timers, when they feared the loss of many tonsil caeea, were extraordinary. I have a collec tion of them In my acrapbook, and It makes amusing reading now that the diathermy method Is In universal use and is even acknowledged the method of choice for disposing of odds and ends of tonsil left In the throat after a "complete tonsil lectomy 1" The same element found all sorts of theoretical or hypothetical objec tions to the Injection treatment for varicose veins when this modern method was first recommended to the public. They knew nothing what ever about the method, but that did not cramp their style a bit. Newspaper readers who asked the "prominent specialists" about It were advised that such treatment would be a "dangerous procedure" and might cause emboli m. In spite of these warnings Intelligent folk every where chose Injection treatment and were cured, so that the method Is the only one In general use today. The bad advice given by the "well known" doctors has doubtlessly Im paired the confidence of the public In organized medicine. Right now the old guard, the name element of the profession. Is fighting desperately to prevent am bulant treatment of hernia from cutting in on the surgical monopoly. The publicity bureau of the Ameri can Medical association broadcasts a lengthy harangue against the mod ern treatment of hernia, citing opin ions of "well known' (but unidenti fied, surgeons who obviously know nothing about the technic of the Injection treatment of hernia. One of these hypothetical "well-known" Individuals Is quoted In the medical oligarchy's publicity literature to the effect that "Injection of Irritating Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS RESIDENT Roosevelt recommends a two-year extension of nka. 'Thit fundamental orlncloles and purposes of the National Recovery Act are sound," he tells congress In a special message, "and to abandon them Is unthinkable " TRUE enough. NRA has many faults and short comings. But also It has many merits. The wise thing to do Is to discard the bad and retain the good. It Is thus that we make progress In this Imperfect world. A CHINESE stesmer. the Fu-Lung. sinks off the rocky coast of Wuhuko, 100 miles north of Shanghai, and according to the best reports ob tainable some 330 Uves were lost. Because the disaster occurs In re mote China, the story gets about two inches on the front page, and not more than a casual glance from the average reader. If It had occurred here on our own Pacific coast. It would have drawn black headlines and columns of de tail, with keen Interest on the part of readers. IT tSNT so much what happens, you see, as WHERE It happens thit makes big news. If It Is close home. tt t .Important. If It ts far ewsy It doean't create much of a stir. To moat of us. iven In these ad vanced modern days, the world Is still a small place, bounded by the cir cle of our own Immediate lnterci snd knowledge. HAVANA'S schools are closed by n strike, with teachers and stu dents demanding relief from varlou condltions in the educational systeu which they don't like Teachers went HOC a month mm lmum pay and 5.000 new classroom In which to teach University stu dents demand "ftvedom from th yoke of Yankee ImperlsUsm!" INTERESTING. Isn't It? espivlal. when we consider the manner I.' which the "yoke ot Yankee Imper- 1a:i" came to be Imposed upon tn necks Cuba, for more thsn 'hree ceutur les. hsd writhed under the oppre.w rule of flpaln The misfortunes o the oppressed culvins m worked up. our sympathies thet got ou;e.c ( ml substances around hernial sacs Is a dangerous procedure, which might easily result In serious harm to a patient." There It Is. the same old humbug the old timers perpetrated on the public when the modern method for varicose veins and the mod ern method for tonsils were Intro duced. The A. M. A. Is as wrong about this as It was about diathermy for extirpating tonsils. As a matter of fact thousands of patients are now cured of hernia, thanks to the skill and Independent thinking of their physicians, and the Injection method In competent hands never does "serious harm." tho It falls to cure In as many cases as does radi cal surgery. These Ineptitudes of the national medical organization are not calcu lated to promote the dignity of tbe medical profession. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Lessen, Fatty.
