Use MU Tribune want U. Better Homes JACKSON county's Better Housing campaign will itart iu earnest tomorrow. The S.E.R.A. will make a complete sur vey of building requirements, and classified at headquarters. Since this survey is being conducted in cooperation with the government's effort to improve housing conditions, a courteous attitude toward the solicitors, and the cheerful giving of infor mation, requested, is to be expected. These solicitors are not trying to pry into anyone's private business. They are merely engaged in securing information the government wants, and only wish to render assistance where assistance is DESIRED. The movement is a worthy one. Spring is the time to clean up and brush up. Those who would like to make improvements and repairs, but lack the ready cash can secure a loan from the Consumers Credit Association, at a low rate of interest and on easy payments. The success of the campaign will mean a stimulation of the local purchasing power, more employment, better housing conditions which mean better all around social conditions, more work and more money for all. With the hearty support the purposes of the campaign justi" fy, success should be certain. Why Not Reason It Out? TPJIE Townscnd old age pension No good can come from calling it, or ita proponents, NAMES. The time has passed when the Townsend drive can be checked by vituperntion or "putting on the heat." The only hope lies in putting on the light. True, there are many sclf-sccking politicians, trying to ride along on the Townsend tide; there are many chisolers and flini flammers, who are supporting the measure, solely for what they think they can get out of it for THEMSELVES. But the rank nnd file of Townsend supporters, are entirely honest and sincere, they believe it can be done, tli'cy believe it will benefit the country to do it. ' These people, BECAUSE they are honest and BECAUSE they are sincere, will only abandon the idea when they are con vineed the proposal is impractical convinced it can't b,e done, that instead of benefiting the country if it were adopted, the Townsend plan would do the exact reverse. This is what this paper has tried to do in the past, and this policy it will continue. Our opposition to the Townsend plan does NOT proceed from any indifference to the unfortunate plight of many people in this country, old or young, nor to any denial that a moro just and equitable division of wealth should come nor to any opposition to a WORKABLE old age pension that will give the aged and infirm, freedom from want and suffering in their declining years. In fact such an old age pension, this paper supports and has supported. .... TTITE oppose the Townsend plan solely because we are con- vineed it will not work, that the roseate promises it makes, of affluence for some, and security for all, can NOT, by the nature of things be fulfilled; and those who however sincerely believe otherwise, are doomed to disillusion and disappointment. However we arc not going explain why we believe this to be true, today, but are going to let another editor do so, one of the most able and distinguished editors in the country, and one who, by the way, ORIGINALLY favored the Townsend plan. Tha editor in question is William Allen White of the Em poria (Kansas) Gazette. If anything can contribute toward clearing the atmosphere on this matter by calmly and in a kindly fashion reasoning it out, do so, for it comes from a friend and one whose sincere devotion to the welfare of the people of this country, young and old, can not be questioned. Here it is: Dr. P. B. Townsend. lanky, Idealistic llttla doctor whoaa old age penalon proposal swpt the country a few montha ago. testi fied laat week In behalf of hla plan before the congressional committee which will submit the president's security proposal. There Is no reason to doubt Dr. Townsend'a sincerity. He la aa sincere aa Lincoln, Washington. Jesus, Insult, Hitler and thou sands of others who have risen to power because of their deep convictions. Yet Just because Dr. Townsend and the others are sincere la In Itself no defense of their Idess no resson why we shouldn't sort out the ood and destroy the bad. Dr. Townsend'a plan to give many million old people 1300 a month for the rest of their lives rests on the notion that you can create something out of nothing that money can be apent without coating any of us anything. He would raise his funds and on this part of hta plan he himself Is har.y by a general salea tax. Economists figure that It would cost 34 billions per yesr. Now the combined prlvat Incomes of every one In the United States last year amounted to only 48 billions. So the ssles Ux would have to be practically equal to the present value of the article. How would this affect youf It would mean that you could afford to buy. on your present salary or Income Just half as much food, clothing, gasoline and manufactured articles aa you bought last year. The rest of your Income would be taken from you by the government to pay the old people each 300 per month. But. Dr. Townsend argues, the old people would have t spend this money every month and this would restore prosperity. Well how. exactly? It would be taken from th rest of us In taxes so we could only buy half as much as we do now. It would be .pent by the old people for things which old people want. It would be at the expense of all the rest of us. Prosperity will only return when all of us get bsck to work, producing things which we and other Americans wsnt. Dividing up our present nstlonal Income, tsklng It from some and giving It others, csn hsve no possible effect one way or the other on prosperity, although the Townsend proponents, the bonus treas ury raiders snd other groups who hope to get on the receiving end of the tavpavers' money always loudly proclaim, and usually with sincerity, that giving them cash would solve the depression linmedlately. Some sort of liberal old age pension should he adopted by . this congress as a measure of soclsl justice. It should have been done yeara ago. as it was In Europe. But It will do nothing to help prosperity. The tolsl national Income will remain the eame. The rest of us will have less to epend for the things we want. In order that these old people can have the security which a pension of av or M per month would mean lo them. But we mustn't kid ourselvra about that. We aren t llrlng In fairy land, and the multiplication table still stsnds. FRENCH WOMEN GIVEN COMPLETE SUFFRAGE PARIS, FVance. March 3.

YOU CAN' SFB THE In a recent spiel, which I know most of you children didn't get, I said In efiect that It la unwise and dan gerous co use carbolic salve or carbolic solution or other carbol- lzed . agents be cause there are aa efficient antl aeptlca which are safer In any case Howe ver, you children are eas ily Impressed by odors, aa easily as you are by hlfa lutln quack lan guage, bo you do not quite grasp a simple truth such aa that; you may begin to comprehend the significance of it eventually, but Just now you are pretty busy assimilating all the aroma and the fancy trappings of your fa vorite nostrum. You and I are both fond of mystery, only I like mine all confined to a book which purport to be nothing else than fiction. Now and then It happens that In households where carbolic salve or some nostrum In which carbolic (phenol) la the chief Ingredient is used, there is a boy or girl who has attended school a term or two. If auch there be In your household, please let the young one read this and explain it to you. You must not think that Just because you can spell out the words and even pronounce most of them you are capable of un derstanding what I'm trying to teach you. Anyone, be he ever so credulous and dumb, can watch carbolic salve carboll zed medicaments, soaps, liquids or what nostrum have you, at work. Say you apply It to a cut or a small burn or sore. After It - ha3 worked for a while you Inspect the lesion. You'll see a kind of milky , whitening of the edges of the akin I around the cut, wound or burn. Per- hapa a whitening or gray deadening of the raw surface of the cut, wound or burn. That's the first stnge of gangrene, if you ask me. Gangrene on small scale, but gangrene. Stick to your deadly carbolic nostrum a while and you'll have a more marked dem onstration of the nature of gangrene Even If your cut or sore is a small one and the consequent damage done by your maltreatment la limited, the characteristic numbing, whitening action of the poison Is always discern ible If you have sufficient intelligence Oregonian Editorializes On Perry's Tidbits Called 'Em Grilled Tidbits. Calling a rcasted welnerwurst a 'grilled tidbit," as many social Item scribblers now do. Is going a bit too far. Arthur Gordon Perry In Med ford Mall Tribune.

Orllled tidbits, indeed I The Arthur Gordon Perry of a dozen years ago would have quitted the reservation with a whoop. Time teachea us an effective restraint. And why not, since this finical of fense has been perpetrated, why not we inquire a determined campaign to call this viand by its homely colloquialism? A little more Insist ence upon its identity as a hot dog. and the social item scribblers, as Arthur styles them, would be only tco eager to allude to It as a welner wurst. One must fight bonfire witn bonfire. Somehow, in pondering the prob lem so raised, and in fairness to the sex. there comes to mind the recent rebellion of a young woman now en gaged In local radio work a revolt against the improper preparation, as It seemed fo her. of hot dogs. Hers Is a fondness, as mlRht be, expected of a girl so comely and wistfully feminine, for welnerwursta and sauer kraut, but always when she ordered this dish In her favorite restaurant the welners arrived In halves, though Invariably she instructed the waiter to see to it they were not so muti lated. The other day her patience eame to an end. She summoned the waiter, and In her soft, girling voice she com manded. "Take m back! Take em back and ask that fat-headed cook If there Isn't such a thing as a whole dog In this dump, anyhow!" The re suits were Immediate and gratifying.

That's what the nostrum maker wants. A nostrum that Isn't a "repeater" Isn't worth exploiting. If you're simple enough to follow the charlatan's advice in the first place, chances are that you will get worried over the "alow healing" of your little sore and hurry right down for anoth er package of the eame nostrum meanwhile wondering why it Is that your cuts and sores always heal ao slowly. Now you know unless you're more impervious than even X think you are. Carbolic acid (officially called phenol) is by no means the only poi son frequently Incorporated in nos trums offered as "antiseptic," "heal ing," "protective"; various other chemicals with similar poisonous ef fects are used In such nostrums. In my opinion the safest and best all around antiseptic one can use In any solution, salve or powder is boric acid. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS "Want to Get Well?"
