Noblesse Oblige
TH8 proposed solution of the coast-bridg tolli controversy,
strikes us, as a sensible one.
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.

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

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

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

several striking observations of the

that they had recovered much of the
hearing they had lost. Whether this
is attributable to Vitamin A or to A

should like to hear from readers who
have progressive deafness and who

Anything la possible in America,

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.
