A member of the legislature objects to a change In the state polloe law enabling the state police to "bully" a law violator by arresting him.

The First Two Years YESTERDAY President Roosevelt completed half his term. In reviewing the first two years, what should be the verdict! To judge the results, one must bear in mind the purposes. President. Roosevelt had two main purposes: first to break the back of the depression and restore prosperity; second, in the restoration of that prosperity, to effect certain economic and social reforms, which would distribute prosperity more equally and fairly among ALL the people of this country, and thus render it more permanent. . IN our judgment. President Roosevelt's reform program has been more successful than his prosperity program. Child labor has been eliminated, the right of organized labor to bar gain collectively has been clearly established; the more obvious abuses of stock exchange manipulation and exploitation, have been removed; the holding company racket where it IS a racket, promises soon to be put on the skids; and there has been an extremely effective clean-up, carried out against organ ized crime. ON the other side of the ledger, the results have not been so satisfactory. There are still millions of unemployed; the national budget is not balanced and there is no indication it will be; the federal debt has reached a new high, for all peace-time history; and in business circles, particularly among the higher ups, there is still a deplorable lack of CONFIDENCE. That this lack of confidence has been stimulated by the re form program, there can be no question. Bit? business is con genially timid, and opposed to change. Wall Street is forever seeing spooks in the dark, and catastrophe around the corner. If there had been no reform program undoubtedly, business con ditions today would be better than they are. . BUT would the prospects for the future, be any more reassur inirl Wa rlonht it. For. as we. see it. nrosoeritv without reform without, essential change, would have had within it the seeds of its own destruction, a boom thus induced, would be followed by another crash which might well be the final one. In other words, we believe President Roosevelt's reasoning that the. prosperity and reform programs must go hand in hand, is essentially sound; that to abandon either at the expense of the other, would have resulted only .... THERE is another point to be considered. Recovery has been slow, too slow to satisfy American business, as a whole : or for that matter a majority of the. American people. We are naturally an impatient people; wo are avid for results', and quick ones. But under such conditions as Is it even desirable? Again we When one has suffered a desperate illness, doesn't medical science maintain that recovery PLH.MA.Nh.M recovery always takes time. Isn't it also well established, that an imme diate bouncing back to what appears to be good health is often illusory? Not only illusory but which may be more serious than Well, Uuole Sara has been desperately ill. The poison went deep. Isn't it possible that the slow, gradual recovery, com plained of, is something to be grateful for? It takes more time, but if eliminating ALL the poison instead of only a PORTION of it, hasn't that time been well spent? .... WE THINK so. No eomnetent observer can Hpnv tbnf mntprinl nnnHit!nn in this country aro far better than they were two years ago. Farm prices are higher, bank failures are fewer (in fact they are practically unknown) ; in certain biles, farm implements, tobacco, retail and department store trade, there have been sensational advances; while in others, likn the higher class railroads, steel, and even electrical consumption, there has been substantial betterment. A fair appraisal of the situation would seem to be conditions are still bad, in many directions, but they could be a lot worse. There has been marked improvement, but there is room for much more. Well isn't that only another way of saying, the patient Uncle Sam, is gradually returning to health, and normal vigor his progress is slow, but. it's also sure, and when he does get up and about again it will be to stay, not to stage another night of whoopee, and be rushed back to the emergency ward, once morel ADJUSTMENT RAISES HOG INCOME Intpecttd Hoq Slauqhter. md Total Paid bij Picken. for firtt 8 Months, 1933 nd 1934 ( 7.500,000,000 X If-JilS 1934 3jlfllill ft... , PRELIMINARY Kudlei Indlcal I that a luhstantlal Increaia tn bo Incoma It reiultlng from tha adjustment In hog marketings effec tuated bj the 1933-34 emergency hos-buvlni programs and the 1934 cornhog production adjustment program of the Agricultural Adjust ment Administration The graph ahore showa that the tola! estimated cost to packers for hois slaughtered under Federal Inspection during the flrst eight months of 1!34, Including tha processing taxes due, waa ap proximately $100,000,000 larger than for tha corresponding period In 1933 Thla represents an Increase of about one third In total cost and of mora than one-half In the hundred weight cost of lire animate At the same time, tha total Inspected in another disaster. prevailed is speed so essential? have our "doots." frequently followed by a relapse, the original sickness? the longer convalescence, means lines of industry like automo slaughter at hogs tor the flrst eight months of 1934 waa about IS pet cent under the total for tha corre spending period for 193S.

THK OLD WOMEN MUX TALK My wife la a patient in - - hos- pltal for the Insane. The diagnosis la dementia praecox, paranoid. The doctors aay her condition la hope, leas. But she convinces visitors that she la abso lutely sane. I ' I have had her out V, Zl of the hospital on three differ ent occ slons- Por a day or two she seema quiet and cheerful. But then there Is plenty of trouble . . . Some of her women friends say I am hard and cruel for not keeping her home. When I visit her aha constantly repeats: "You'll never have any luck for keep ing me here among these Insane peo ple. You don't want me. You put me In here to get rid of me." Natur ally It doesn't do my business any good when these well-meaning but Ignorant women go about the com munity talking about my cruelty . . . C. F. 6. I don't know about that. Person ally, I doubt the old biuybcdtes axe so well-meaning or so ignorant. They just take a special 'jellght in exuding maudlin sympathy like that. Glvea them, a self -righteous feeling and takes some of the curse off from their morbid curiosity and their conscious prevarication. Human nature, especially Yankee human nature, can't be changed. The only remedy for It Is to club It Into silence. If you can possibly get one or two good witnesses to testify to the specific act. and then haul one of the leading broadcasters of the slander into court and have her pub licly convicted, that would have a wholesome effect on the sport. Even If this man actually wished to get rid of his wife by keeping her In & hospital for the Insane, it would be quite difficult for him to obtain the cooperation of (a) the physician who certifies the patient a of unsound mind, (b) the physician who corrobo rates this diagnosis, (c) the Judge of a court of record who uommlts or orders the patient confined in the hospital or sanitarium, and (d) the medical superintendent and e) the resident or attending pr.ysician or physicians In the Institution. Sup posing, for the sake of a weird story, the man could contrive to bribe or buy all of these disinterested opin ions, and land the woman tn the In stitution, whet assurance has he that one or more of the blighters will not relent later and give the show away? It is human nature to Imagine all sorta of horrible things about "mad houaes" or "Insane asylums" if you are quite Ignorant of modern condi tions.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Alcoholism. Pleae give your opinion of the as sertion made In the clipping Inclosed. P. K. H. Answer .Says the near-doctor: "Al coholic Intoxication la prevalent among infants artificially fed . . . we feed Snook urns refined starches, and alcohol quickly forma In the body from thera." Ever since some chemist reported having detected an Insignificant trace of alcohol In the body of a normal person, half-baked self -constituted "authorities" have been trying to wangle out of the fact ah argument in favor of "light wires and beer." As everybody knows, au ger ferment Into alcohol more readily than does starch. There is consider able sugar In the Infant's natural food, human milk. Why drag In the starches, refined or as nature pro vides them? It would be as logical to say that everybody suffers from arsenic poisoning from the trace of arsenic present in every healthy body. Here's a Good Idea. You have observed the good effects of calcium lactate or calcium chloride or calcium gluconate In asthma and hay fever. Why not give such pati ents cod liver oil or other vitamin D carrier, together with sun baths or ultra-violet Irradiation to make their own food calcium available? L. H., M. D. Answer That la an excellent sug gestion. Doctor. Perhaps tome of our readers will try It out end report re sults. Those subject to asthma or hay fever may have a copy of a mono graph on the subject If they provide a self-addressed stamped envelope. Alcohol and Kidney. Please let me know to what extent liquor Is harmful to one who has had one kidney removed. W. M. Answer The kldneya of drinkers are usually found hyperrrophled, but some physicians maintain that alco hol la not particularly Injurious to the kidneys.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. E of the present day have the ea that we have all the trou bles and don't hesitate to sty ao. A to that, It would be Interesting to get the views of the little group of Oregon pioneers still remaining the remnant of that determined body of men and women who took this state as a nw wilderness and built it to where It la now. What do you suppose they would think of the Idea that we of today have all the grief and all the trouble? THESE thoughts are suggested by a recent gathering of pioneers of southern Oregon which thla writer bad the good fortune to attend, it waa an Interesting meeting, and the talks of the pioneers present offered an Interesting contrast between the developed Oregon of today and the Oregon of early times. It took a lot of hard work to bring about this contrast. WHO of us of t he later crop, for example, could Imagine that the green, lovely Wood River valley, now one of the finest grazing regions in America, was once practically a desert? Yet, Llnsey Stsemore says that's what It was before the Ingenuity : and the energy of the pioneers dl-' verted the water Into Irrigation ditches and spread It out over the soil. This soil waa light and powdery, and before the coming of irrigation it blew here and there in choking dust clouds. Now It grows one of the finest crops of grass on earth. TAKING them by and large, these pioneers were a hard-headed, clear-thinking lot, and the heritage of sound common sense they be queathed to us Is one of the Inter esting assets of the southern Oregon country. But even they had some queer notions at times. The Melhase brothers, Llnsey Slse more told his hearers, butlt the first ditch, some five or six miles long. In the Wood River valley. When they first announced they were going to build a ditch of that length, one of the neighbors told them: "Shucks! You can't do that. You can run water down off a moun tain, but If you try to run It out over the flat the curvature of the earth will stop you, for water won't run uphill!" Dc ON'T LAUGH. We of this genera tion have Ideas far, far crazier than that the idea, for example, that we can vote ourselves rich; that we can borrow ourselves Into pros perity; that we can bring about plenty for everybody by- plowing under crops and killing pigs. It TILL SHOOK, of Dairy, told how IT the first potatoes came to this section. At first, it was believed that pota toes could be grown only along Klamath lake, so for several years everybody went there to raise them Then some bold thinker decided to TRY growing potatoes at home and when the crop was harvested In the fall It was discovered that the Dairy spuds were better than those that had been grown along the lake. R. SHOOK S father planted some apple weds at his place, and they grew and made large trees. But they didn't bear apples. A stranger came through, and Mr Shook asked him why the trees were barren and what to do about it. "Go out and gather up all the loose scrap iron you can find." he was told, "and hang It in the trees" He did it. collected in old wagon tires, horseshoes, etc., hung them around In the branches, and sure enough the very next year the trees blossomed and bore apple. A PREVIOUS pioneer dinner, r th this writer was informed Friday night. Mr Shook told of a spring, back In the early days that went wrong water got to tasting bad. So they cleaned It out to see what was ailing it. and found the body ot a dead Indian in the bottom. FPED FLEET doesn't exactly rare as a pioneer, but be tells a good one about one of the first parties he and Sirs, r.ee-r auenried after t: went to the Klamath country. It was Hslloe'en and while the festivities were at their height, some clever Joker unhitched all the hr.M-s unharnesed them, threw the harness Into a pile and moved the horses off a mile or so to corral You can Imagine the fun the hai there In the dark that precedes the d- n. unscrambling the horses in the corral and later unrsmb'.irg te harr.e- from the pile. w HY den't .nepodv pull cood prsnk l-.ke rn in the.e dats it, sfer f-vir o- five years c-f de oi " a l c-"" drr.ei : a:vi l:-g.fi-ei I s dubtfu e could U.igh li t tried?

Herschel Cobb, 19 denied the charge as "nothing but t lrame-up," (Associated Press Photo) WE ought to hold these pioneer gatherings oftener get EVERY BODY started to talking, telling yarns about the days when this country was being built from the raw. Then we ought to have a stenog rapher present, taking down every word that Is said, so that we lucky devils of this later generation, who are enjoying the great country the pioneers won from the wilderness snd built up for ua, may get some thing of an idea of what we have to be thankful tor. 4 Communications More Power to Governor Martin To the Editor: It should be refreshing to the lov ers of constitutional government in Oregon to learn that they now have a governor who knows what his du ties are and who has the "intestinal fortitude" to perform them, threats of recall and other acta of intimida tion to the contrary notwithstanding. For years the worst curse In the po litical life of the state and nation has been the existence of powerful and domineering cliques and blocs. By intimidating those In executive and legislative positions who were too lacking In courage to stand their ground, these cliques and blocs have made It possible for a small minority to lay down and enforce the rules of conduct for the majority. Government was not created for the benefit of any particular class of people, but for all the people, and an executive Is the representative of the entire citizenship. No representative form of government could survive the rule of the bloc. Our government has been decidedly weakened by this rule In the past and present, and It Is in deed fortunate that men are coming into power now who appreciate the dangers Inherent In this situation It Is perfectly apparent that our governor has taken seriously his oath of office, and those who have known him throughout the years and who have watched his courageous conduct In official places, knew that he would In all circumstances do just that. It Is almost like having "Old Hickory' himself back with us, or "Honest Abe." The Boston police tried to bluff "Silent Cal," and found that "still water ran deep," and a president was made. Oregon should take pride In the fact that It now has on "Iron man" at the helm of the Bhlp of state. There won't be any successful bluffing In our state affairs during the ensuing four years at least. More power to Governor Martini WALTER L. TOOZE Portland, March 4.
