The Dime Letter Racket
THESE chain letters, are merely another manifestation of the
prevailing passion to pet something for nothing, or if not
nothing to make a fortune out of a dime. It's the old, old
"tinny game" in rather a new and tempting form.
And while the rost office authorities are being pestered to
death, and devising ways and means to halt the racket, it is
doubtful if they have much success.
These things appear in regular cycles. They come and they
go then after a lucid interval they come again.
ONLY a few years ago it was fountain pens. You sold ten
fountain pens to your friends, and they sold ten to their
friends, and those ten times ten, sold to theire, and eventually
all you had to do was to sit back in an easy chair and collect the
royalties.
It was sure fire on paper. The boys and girls, with nothing
better to do, fell for it, from the Statue of liberty to the Golden
Gate.
But as far as known, the royalties somehow never came in
The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow was never found.
SO now it's a round robin letter, with a dime sent in, to a cer
tain name and that dime and many thousand more, coming
back to you when your name reaches the remunerative position
at the top of the list !
.Well so it goes. Postal authorities rage, hire extra help,
threaten prosecution, but it will do no good, or very LITTLE.
Like any other epidemic, it will Btart and spread, reach a climax,
then, just as surely decline and fall. Meanwhile a few cash in,
and the majority don't even get back their dime.
In another year or two, one will hear no more of dime chain
letters than they hear now of selling fountain pens.
But by then, say 19D8 or 1030, there will be something else
for the boys and girls to waste their spare cash on !
It s the old army game.
Another 5-4
THE L S. Supreme Court declares the railwi.y retirement law
unconstitutional, by another five to four decision. The
division between the liberals and conservatives of the court was
clear cut this time. Chief Justice Hughes, joined Brandeis.
Stone and Canloza in dissent; Justice Roberts delivered the tle-cii-ion,
supported by Van Devanter, McReynolds, Sutherland ami
Butler.
Five to four! And for many years this has been the division
on nearly every important decision. Determining what is consti
tutional and what isn't; what is legally right and what is legally
wrong; determining in short, what the destiny of this great
country is to be, by such a narrow margin, presents quite an
interesting problem.
For obviously if five justices are right, four must be wrong;
or if four arc right, five must be wrong; the change of one
vote, one individual's mind om of 120 million. changes right
from wrong, in short determines the future course and character
of the government under which we live.
fll to express it in another way, the preponderance of five
four decisions ou important questions, justifies the state
ment that hc Supreme Court, the most powerful governing
body in the civilized world, is never more than five-ninths right ;
and never less than four-ninths wrong.
If this tendency continues the demand that justices of the
Supreme Court be elected by the people, instead of appointed
by the President will be revived, the recall of the justices by
popular vote might also be included, and thus the one substiin
tial pillar of the government, FREE from' politics, would be
thrown INTO polities.
OL'C'H an outcome would in our judgment be a calamity. Once
"-' allow, the Supreme Court to become a football of partisan
polities, the goal of table thumping demagogues and designing
politicians, and the end of American institutions as we know
them, would be only a question of time.
Human nature being what it is however, a continuance of
five-four decisions will, inevitably impair the prestige of the
highest tribunal in t lie land, ind increase popular skepticism, as
to its authority ami infallibility.
So while this paper would fight to the last ditch against
changing the present constitutional setup, we would also wel
come fewer five to four decisions and more six to three, seven to
four, and occasionally one that is unanimous.

Comment
: on the
Day's News
By FRANK JKNKINS
RALPH CAKE, vice-president and
managing director of the Equit
able Savings it Loan Association, of
Portland, who spent Saturday In the
Klamath country, has Just returned
from a trip through the Middle West
and Eaot.
He Is more than ever convinced of
the future greatness of this country :
out here.
"IN THE next five or six years," he
t ssys, "the Pacific Northwest will
see tremendous development. Every
body back there wants to get out
here. The fame of the Pacific North
west la spreading faster than ever
before.
"The only reason they don't come
now is that they can't get loose
can't get rid of their property back
there. As conditions improve and
they are able to get loose, we'll see ,
them come Hocking here to found
new homes In what they regard as
the finest country In America."
"""HE drought and the dust storms
J. back there," he says, "are every
bit as bad as we've been led to be
lieve. "I flew back this time, and east
of the Rockies we passed through a
severe dust storm. We climbed to
15,000 feet in an effort to avoid it,
but couldn't get above It.
"The dust was really terrible, actu
ally Interfering with breathing. I'd
certainly hate to have to live In It."
v . C-nV
BUSINESS conditions, Mr. Cake
says, aren't as good as they
might be yet, but are improving. They
will continue to Improve as people
get more confidence.
"Our own company," he says, "Is
steadily extending its loans on real
estate, and is also finding Its collec
tions good. We're getting more money
in than we know Just yet how to
put out."
LOS ANGELES, Mr. Cake says. Is
about the only city In which
there is really extensive building of
homes.
Nearly everywhere costs are still too
high, but down In Los Angeles they
seem to have got their costs down
to a point that people can meet.
Men In the building trades in Los
Angeles. Mr. Cake says, are working
for $5 a day. feeling that it Is far
better to keep busy pretty steadily
at 95 a day, than to be Idle.
Material costs, also, have been kept
fairly low. The result is that people
are going ahead.
IT ISN'T high price alone, you see,
that make business good. Before
business can be really good, prices
of what people want have to be low
enough that people can afford to pay
them.
Either that or earnings have to be
high enough FOR EVERYBODY to
make It possible to pay high prices.
It doesn't matter much which way it
works.
About the only definition of pros
perity . that really holds water is a
condition where everybody can ex
change what he has for what the
other fellow has at a fair and equal
rate, so that nobody Is robbed In the
exchange.
When we have thit condition, we
have prosperity.

Appeal for Lepers
To the Editor:
May I make an appeal to your
readers for the destitute lepers In 190
colonies throughout the world
Through no fault of their own they
are suffering from & terrible disease
that makes them outcasts. Every day
little children become Infected be
cause a diseased parent Is not prop
erly cared for.
Money and bandages are needed.
Any amount of money will be most
gratefully accepted. $10 wilt often ,
cure an early case, using the chaul-
moogra oil treatment; $1 will provid
food for a month: 2 a warm blanket.
Leper colonies can never haf
enough bandages. Tear old sheets,
towels, and napkins Into strips 3 or
5 Inches wide, roll, and pin with
safety pin: or send any white ma
terial except gauze, and the patients
will make their own bandages. Wo
men's clubs and societies for young
people can do a noble work here
which will cost them nothing.

Former Rival Endorses Martin
To the Editor:
I believe Oregon Is very fortunate
in having as governor of our state
man of the sterling qualities of Chas.
H. Martin. In this the real test of a
firm man at the helm of our state
we have a man who will not be in-
fluenced either by political or finan
cial interests to do other than the
right thing for our state and its citl
ns as a whole, and regardless of
pressure brought to bear on him. He
Is standing firm for decisions that
will land to prosperity and soundness
for us ail. Therefore we should ap
preciate his efforts and lend him all
the moral support we can.

Just a Suggestion
To the Editor:
I would like to make this sugges
tion to the Jackson County Humane
society: Since they lost their dog
license suit that they would not en
courage some poor Ignoramus to take
a Job that would get himself or some
good citizen into trouble, for he
might shoot the wrong dog. Jackson
county has had enough expense in
our murder cases already and that
sure would cause blood to be shed.
