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. No better psychological influence could be created, we
think, than a showing that the state can perform its essential
functions and its essential obligations without imposing further
tax burdens upon the people.
The governor is as right as a

MODERN TREATMENT OF HERNIA.
The old timers In the medical pro
fesalon are always standpatters. 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

TRUE enough.

The wise thing to do Is to discard

It Is thus that we make progress

Because the disaster occurs In re

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

of readers.

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.
