(La Qrando Observer) We would like to find and read a statement or article by someone that convincingly show ed he knew something about the "gold question." We've lost all track of gold, silver, paper or even coppers. When we do get hold or any one or the other we can't keep It long enough nowadays to begin to get even slightly acquainted with It. tee The suggestion of the Governor that tho state Orange master and associate "farmers of the farmer" for their votes, and the fried chick en, when attending Pomona sessions, should "be plowing In the fields theae beautiful dnys, where the birds arc slicing," hsa been hailed, by the gem-ml public, as a fine Idea, though in no danger of being heeded. The delightful and virile display of executive gumption, In dicates there will be no farming of the Governor, by expert farmers of the farmer, for at lenst four years.

A copy of the Medford Mail-Trl-bune was wrapped around Huey Long a "bomb." Is that why It prov ed a dud? (Snlem Statesman) Also, proving that high dudgeon, runs to the same dud. John C.

When Wf turned around, we were some other fellow.

Tolls will be taken off the new coast bridges. This will not only be beneficial to the coast but to the entire state, for any. thing that increases tourist travel in OXE section, increases it to a greater or less extent, in another. In return for the state assuming the cost of toll-free bridges, the jrovernment will be asked to construct a Bonneville highway from Portland to the dam, at a cost of approximately $4,000,000. Such a highway will benefit the entire state, by providing better transportation to and from the dam and at the same time, saving the state the expense of realigning and reconstructing the present Columbia River highway, to serve a similar purpose. It will give immediate, large-scale employment. .... OF course in one sense none of these projects will DIRECTLY benefit southern Oregon. But to oppose them on this ground, would in our judgment, be to accept a selfish and rather provincial view. The highway system of Oregon should be regarded as a whole, and from the standpoint of what is best for the STATE AS A WHOLE. Free toll bridges on the coast and the Troutdale-Bonneville project are justified from this standpoint. From the SAME standpoint, the highway commission and the rest of the state, should get behind and no longer delay the improvement of the Siskiyous grade, making the main entrnnce into Oregon from California, less a tourist menace, and a state disgrace ! Less Politics Needed DAT GILL, master of the state grange may not be a good farmer or any farmer at all, but no informed person denies he is an excellent politician. His reply to Governor Martin's criticism of the grange lobby at Salem, showed the fine Italian hand, of a seasoned and re sourceful political campaigner. "The grange will not be intimidated." was the gist of this reply, "it will continue in the future, as it has for the past 30 years, to maintain a committee which will concern itself with .... TPIIERE was no INTIMIDATION in the Governor's pro A nouncement. Nor did ho criticize the LEGITIMATE politi cal activities of the grange, the maintenance of a lobby at Salem, to advance legislation, favorable to the organization, and oppose legislation that isn't. What he DID criticize, was politics, of tho grange leaders, political lists on all state issues, agricultural problems, or not. In other words the Governor believes there is too much polities in the state grange, and it would not only be better for the grange but better for the state, if there were less. This is a view which is not only shared by many thoughtful citizens in the state, but by many grange members themselves. They feel, that if grange leaders concentrated a little more thoroughly on essentially farm problems, and less on politics, particularly in tho direction of seeking political power and pre ferment for THEMSELVES, it would be better for nil con cerned. We believe tho time will come members will grant the sound sense of this view, and perceive that less partisan politics in their organization, would not only De better tor the state, but far better for tho grange. Comment on the Day's News njr FRANK JI.NKINS THERE are supposed to bo ten mil lion, unemployed persons In the United states. Ten million, at least, la the figure that la quoted ofteneet. Nobody knows the exact number of unemployed In this country, be. cause nobody has ever counted them. About all v know TOR SURE Is that there aro too many. WHY are ten million persona with, out employment In this great nation? If you are able to answer that question, jou ar GOOD. A lot of us have tried It. but few ot ls have been able to agree In our answers. The only think we are CERTAIN of Is that something Is wrong. . UU8HINQ theories aside, here Is the m condition we face: When people are without Jobs, tltey CAN'T BUY. When large numbers or people can't buy, Industry lacks an adequate market for Us products. When Industry lacks an adequate market for Its product, It can t pro vide enough Jobs to go around. That Is whst we call a vicious circle. WHY are we In a vicious circle? About the only answer to that seems to be that business men lack confidence In the future. If busl nesa had confidence In the fviture, It could BRKAK this vicious circle we are In. 11HY does business lack, confidence " In the future? Because It Is AFRAID of a lot ol things the govenment Is doing afraid these things won't work and that their failure to work will get us Into II frightful mess where every body who haa risked anything will lose what he has risked. So. as lone as it I. opressed by ! this wcsi. buinf?s UEFl'HK.s TAKE RISKS. When people at all sessions of the legislature, measures which affect farmers." the CONSTANT participation in and the practice of entering the whether they involve rural and when a majority of the grange afraid to take risks, business Is bad and Jobs are scarce., "Nothing -ventured, nothing gain ed," you know. And it takes GAIN to pay wages. OUSINESa men don't like thla vt cloua circle any better than you or I. They would like to BREAK It. and get going again. They have told the government that If It will do certain things, they will conquer their fean and again be willing to take a chance. These things that business wants from the government. In order to calm It fears a to the future In clude: Stahlllratlon of money values. Balancing the budget. Less competition with private busi ness. - II" YOU work so many hours a week you want to know how many min utes wilt be counted as an hour Tou don't want It to be 80 minutes one w.?ek and 40 minutes another. In the aame way. business wants a dollar that will contain an agreed upon and MAINTAINED number of cent the same when a thing Is sold as when It Is bought. Thar sounds reasonable. 4 BALANCINO the budget simply means spending no more than the government tskes In. If you spend more than you make, and BORROW the difference, you'll go broke sooner or later, tt will be the same with government, and busi ness mm know It. They don't want the government to go broke, for If the government goes broke EVERYBODY goes broke THEY want the government to get out of competition with private bulncs. for If government competi tion BREAKS prlvste Mulness there will be nobody left to pay taxes. If nobody Is left to pay taxes, the government will FALL and that will be the end of everything. To thla writer. It sounds like a REASONABLE program.

NEWER KNOWLEIIOE OF NEFRITIS Beriberi (In Ceylon thla word means ) extreme weakness) 1 a deficiency disease occurlng in tropical countries but occasionally in this country. An other name for it la poly - neuritis or multiple neu ritis. The cause is lack of vitamin B In the diet. The cure la addi tion of foods rich In vitamin B or , administration of v it am 1 n B xs medicine. Multiple neuri tis In this coun try Is more com monfy seen In persona who have been hard drinkers. Heretofore the condition has been as sumed to be due to alcoholic poison Ing. Rerecently, however, cltnlca.1 ex perience, which, after all, la the best medical authority, has taught us that hypovltamlnosls is an Important fac tor If not the cause of multiple neu ritis In Inebriates. Heavy drinkers are notoriously poor eaters, that is, when on a bout they desire little or no food, so long ss they can get plenty of liquor, and not only do they laci appetite for food but they are likely to vomit if they do try to eat. Thus they fall to get the vitamin required to maintain systemic functions, and nutrition falls. So that the conse quence Is much the same as In the development of beriberi in the orient on a diet of polished rice. A. peucllar mental disorder occurlng In habitual drinkers and In some other kinds of chronic Intoxication la called Kcrsakow's psychosis. This Is not delirium tremens, but rather a less violent confusion. It is often as sociated with polyneuritis. Thtfc psy chosis, too, responds to vitamin therapy. Much of the so-called "neuritis" of the wiseacre laity la not neuritis at all. There is, a fashion with hall Informed or misinformed people, call ing their vague aches or pains ''neu ritis" instead of caJUnir them "rheu matism," and the fashionable term means no more than the old term did. I cannot speak aa positively about simple neuritis, as yet, but from browsing about 1 have gained the impression that a partial deficiency of one or more vitamins may be an important factor If not the cause of simple neuritis in many cases of ob scure character. I olfer this sueiies- tlon merely as a hint. Take it or leave It. In any case it can do no harm to make the therapeutic test that Is, to take an optimal vitamin ration for a month or two and aee NliVV YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. M tin tyre NEW YORK. Feb. 25.

Of course the proper remedies for neuritis due to lesd, arsenic or other specific con ditions should not be neglected vitamin therapy should si ways be supplementary. Several years ago I received a series of striking reports from readers who declared they had experienced great benefit from the liberal use of wheat germ Instead or ordinary flour. Wheat germ or embryo is discarded from flour aa & rule. Indeed, it has been deemed suitable only for feed for ani mals. However, the germ or embryo contains most of the vitamin B and all of the vitamin S. Perhaps the optional ration of vltamlnd B those readers got by using wheat germ ac counted for the benefits they ob served, for what they called "chronic rheumatism." QUESTIONS ANiTaNSWEBS Deaf Folks Listen In a large number of reports on the effects of an optimal ration of vita mins given as a supplementary mea sure In the treatment of various nu tritional disorders, I have noticed several striking observations of the patients themselves, who declared that they had recovered much of the hearing they had lost. Whether this is attributable to Vitamin A or to A and other vitamins. I don't know. I should like to hear from readers who have progressive deafness and who have taken vitamins, eapeclally A. for any purpose. If vitamin A or other vitamins can improve hearing that ha been Impaired by some obscure nutritional deficiency, every one should know about it. (O Doc Brady.)

So why not the Town send scheme of social salvation? Any thing, perhaps. Is possible if theo retically sound. But the scheme is not theoretically sound. And yet It Is advanced as the savior of capital Ism primarily, and the benefit to the aged a happy secondary consideration, and also It motive power to "put it over." To saddle capttsllsm with an additional eight or nine millions sucking up its surplus labor-time to the tune of $200 a month would kill the racket quick. And to will It with out flrat setting up another system to take Its place la social suicide. Multiplying wealth" by dividing it la not possible not even In America! Another fatal point In the scheme Is. that It Is based on the assumption that all that Is needed to make capi talism work Is circulation. Circula tion Is not a fundamental phenome non. Circulation speeded up to the nth degree contemplated by the plan would not do away with the contra dictions with which capitalism is so lousy. On the contrary, it would more rapidly develop and hasten it Inevitable collapse. My favorite way of Illustrating this is by analogy borrowed from pathol ogy. If a man suffers from cancer. Improving his circulation may pep him up for a time. But only for a time. It would also pep up the "re bellions of cells" that are called can cer which will eventually finish him. R. HEGNER. Gold Hill, Feb. 23. Taxes and Politicians To the Editor: What are politicians? They have assumed so many shades, forms and variations that It is as difficult to define them with their doctrines, as it Is to define the shape of a floating cloud. To some they mean this; to others that.' However, they have certain charac teristics which sharply differentiate them from the founders of these good old United States. To me the majority of them seek these Jobs to feather their own nests first. Then they spend their time figuring out some tax scheme to ap ply to the prefent burden of taxes., to make It easier on the taxpayers. : and behold, the taxpayer falls for It, and their smooth kind of gab. The Bible predicts that the time will come when we will not endure sound doctrine. But after our own lust we heap to ourselves teachers, 1. e., politicians having Itching palms, and we shall turn away our ears from the truth and shall be turned Ino fa bles. Result 16 destruction. In my point of view, this Is the present crisis of the people of the United States and the foundation of perils of strife and depression. Too many people falling away from the truth our country was built on. and following the pseudo politicians, In place of getting rid of them. I don't know much, but I do know this: that the federal appropriation allotted to this state, and the amount Oregon was to match It with, would give every man, woman or child In the state 400. I mention this Just to give you something to ponder over. No longer is a clear, decisive re demption preached to those who He under the power of evil. There has been a great falling away from the simplicity of the foundation of this great country. I say. It la time to be awakened: come out from under these evil doers and pet rid of the grafters and do away with those grafting relief bills and appropria tions which are piling up on you I and every nook and corner. Try paying a living wage: it win return to you, to buy what you produce, whether It be an automobile or a po tato. Your taxes never return. FRED POWERS. Phoenix, Ore., Feb. 25.
