P"VERTONE rejoices over the safe return ot the little Weyer hacuser boy! The manner in which he was returned, and the facts he has given regarding his captors and their methods, pretty well dis poses of the theory that this was an amateur job. Everything points to the fact, that the kidnaping was planned and executed by professional criminals, who had carefully per fected their plans in advance, and carried them out, with skill and cunning. But that the notorious Karpis gang was responsible we seri ously doubt. Certainly the last thing Al and his pals would do would be to use their correct names before a young boy nine years old, as is claimed, in the early press reports. It is far more likely that those responsible, knowing the Karpis gang was suspected used these names to lead the authorities off the scent, and depended upon young George, after his release to thus assist them in their escape, and send the police off on the wrontf track. However as the young boy apparently was not blind folded, and saw his captors, this matter can quickly be cleared up. Now to track down the culprits and bring them to speedy and certain justice. The decks are cleared, full steam ahead is the watchword. With the kidnapped child, at home safe and sound, there is no obstacle before a nation wide man hunt, that should and we believe soon will, lead to their capture. ' Interstate Crime and Commerce "llfllAT a relief it is to know that Uncle Sam, -with ail the resources of this great country at his command, is now on the job. How slim the chance ever to bring these kidnappers to justice, if the state of Washington had to track them down alone, and then halt its .activities at the state line, for some other state to take up the trail. Yet if the recent decision of the Supreme Court regarding federal control of IXTRA-state business, were applied literally to the crime of kidnapping, the government operatives would have to stand idly by, until the fact was established that the crime trail had actually CROSSED state lines. What an illogical and subversive interpretation of state rights, in the matter of solving the critical problem of organized crime. How entirely absurd to allow criminals to roam at will with no regard for state lines and then compel the law enforcp ment agencies to halt at some imaginary state boundary, be cause of a strict construction of the Constitution. llfK don't mean to imply that the Supremo Court decision, " regarding NRA was wrong, or not ENTIRELY correct from a constitutional standpoint. As previously stated, a unanimous decision from such a source, can only be accepted as conclusive and final. Such is the law and the law should be upheld. But there is no doubt in the writer's mind that the law will eventually be changed. QTATK rights had some validity when it took three weeks tn travel from Ronton to Philadelphia, when there was one type of civilization and development in New England, another in the South, and a third on the Mid-West frontier. But we fail to see where it has any, in the control and solu tion of NATIONAL problems, in a country, which can be spanned from coast to coast in 24 hours, which has one language, a common culture, and is as closely knit together, in its aims, ideals and its problems, as is the United States today. State government is of course as necessary as city or countv government when purely state matters are concerned. Rut where NATIONAL problems are involved, such as the proper control of business, of crime, finance, child labor or what have you, certainly it is not only common sense, but essential to national welfare, that there should be s unified central author ity, and a central, concentrated TROJANS VICTORS IN A.A.A.A.

CAN'T A FELLOW Recently this query appeared In this column: 'Mother lives In upper flat, and when people In lower Hat turn on the gas the fumes make her ill and affect her head." Also this one "We live on first floor of 8 - family house. Our bedroom In directly above the gas meters. Near ly every montn I have to notify the gas company there is a leakage of gas. They usu ally repair the leak, but In a few days It leaka again and we get the odor of gaa." Answering these queries I suggest ed that the landlord should be asked to Install proper flue pipe connect- ing gas stove with chimney. If It la a kitchen range or open gaa plate, a suitable hood and perhaps an exhaust fan vent would abate the nuisance and protect the comfort and health of all concerned. The leakage of gaa from or about the gaa meters Is a constant menace to any one living over or near the meters. To remedy that nuisance i suggested moving out of the apart ment. Among the letters these Items brought were four from public ser vice companies. They all sought to learn where the correspondents lived, and all expressed the desire to cor rect the trouble, and all were In cor dial spirit, as tho well, a tho cor porations really desire to serve the public welfare. But, dear me, by the time the Items appeared In print and the re sulting Inquiries reached me. I had lost all recollection of the original letters. Another item In this column re cently implied, nay, I said that Dr. Noah Webster who made the dic tionary waa "an old fossil," and ! threw In for good measure the ele vating remnrk that the men who make the Webster dictionary now are "old geezers" too and they probably had "poor bringing up." Then I sailed in and ..found all kinds or fault with what I innocently be lieved to be the very latest edition of the New International. Hum. Member of a firm that dis tributes the book wrote me Indig nantly: "Personally I think It la a shame that a man of your Intelli gence should stoop to having such words printed. I know a number ot VALUE OF FORESTS SHOWN- BY SURVEY NOW IN PROGRESS "Like the strands of a rope the varied uses of forest areas cannot be separated without loss tn strength and economy necessary to community welfare." according to a forest survey of Oregon county dependence now being made. These uses Include the industrial use of timber, forest recre ation, fish and game, watershed pro tection and other forest values. The survey shows that the com modity value of timber which sup ports an Important part of Jackson county's population la closely related to forest recreational benefits that contribute largely to the enjoyment and prosperity of the citizens of the county, The demand for forest recreation Is characteristic of present times, nation wide figures show. A tabulation from the Rogue River, Umpqua and Siski you national fore.sta. which are most accessible to Jackson county, indi cates that In ten years the number of forest visitors Increased from 87. 731 tn IMS to 410.577 in 1933 For the state as a whole the number of visitors to the national forests in creased from 645.587 to 1,734.840 dur ing the same period. That this recreational use of for ests has an Important effect on busi ness activity in local communities Is a conclusion of the report. Great Impetus recently has been given to winter sports development on on forest areas. It Is pointed out that while the large volume of forest rec reation comes In the summer, the past season's skiing activities which attracted thousands ot enthusiasts to winter playgrounds. Illustrate the ex tent to which the sale of gasoline, automobile accessories and sporting goods can be stlmulted by a single form of forest recreation. Towns tn the vicinity of forests profit from , recreation business, the report indi cates. The report show that more than 15 per cent of Jackson county's pop ulatlon of 33.918 took out hunting or fishing licenses last year and that this number wss 3 per cent greater than In 1933. More than 840 non resident anglers took out Jackson county licenses In 1934. In the state a total of 115.713 hunt ing and fishing licenses were issued in 1934. of which 48.467 were for hunting, M.356 for fishing and 14. 890 for hunting and fishing com bined. Forest rrcreation has become commodity ranking In potential im portance with wheat or timber, the survey indicates. The recent analy sis of non-resident motor registra tion figures, by the Portland cham ber of commerce, shows that auto visitors last year spent 19.000.000 in Oregon. Tourist traffic experts main tain that the forests and forest pro tected p'.a grounds are fundamental In the development of important tourist possibilities in Oregon, snd that without careful protection of i Brady, MJX SAY ANYTHING? the men who worked on the remak ing of this great book . . . and they stand for the highest scholarship attainable In these United States."

My doctor advises me always to wear a surgical corset for dropped stomach. It doesn't seem to help much. M. 8. Answer Many of ua have dropped stomach and remain serenely un aware of It unless someone calls our attention to it. I have no notion whether you should wear a support. Perhaps If you can gain needed weight, the larding of the natural supporting tissues will correct any mechanical disturbance from sags or kinks. Send ten cent and stamped envelope bearing your address, for booklet "Building Vitality." Bitter and Harmless. Name of the bitter substance that la harmlesa to use in correcting babies and older children of putting thlnga In their mouth. Mrs. M. H. F. Answer Quassia. Steep an ounce of quassia chips In perhaps two quarts of water. Dip the clothing or other things In this and let dry. The bitter taste will stop the practice. The same thing Is an old reliable remedy against pin worms, the in fusion being used as an enema, a few ounces only after an ordinary soapy water Injection. Trlchlnlasls.

"It is Impossible to divorce forest recreational activity from the forest fire protection program or the sus tained timber yield program pri marily Intended to preserve the tim ber Industry." the survey states. "The CCC has recently built some 2000 miles of forest roads in Oregon pri marily designed for fire protection. The 'recreational by-product of these roads Is not the least of their bene fits, however, for they have assured greater protection for scenic areas and have vastly broadened recrea tional opportunities for the average citizen." prom an economical stand point, fire protection, reforestation, grazing and recreation are all part of the forestj development program which should be designed to make all forest areas contribute to the maximum to the upbuilding of com munities. Charting of substantial land areas to be devoted to a single use Is not practical or democratic, according to the forest service. With few ex ceptions these land areas combine multiple uses and the development of one use to the exclusion of all others works an unnecessary hard ship on Importsnt community ac tivities. It Is said. The forest service shows that east ern states snd European countries have been able to develop and main tain the maximum capacity of fish ing streams and game areas under scientific management, reaping large economic benefits as a result. The i survey point to the importance of sustained yield" program for ; Oregon forest recreation, which, j among other things, would provide ; adequat stocking of fish and game, ' and regulations looking to the maxt- ! mum yield of fish and game areas 1 Intelligent csre In preserving forest , recreational values, in proportion to thetr importance as against other possible values, is held essential.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS SINCE the epochal supreme court decision of Monday, there It much talk In Washington of substi tuting a voluntary KRA for th forced NRA that now is dead Why not merely adopt the Golden Rulef THIS is the Golden Rule: "Do y unto others as y would that others shall do unto you." It was promulgated nearly 200? years ago. No finer rule for a planned human society, in which riarht anc Justice shall prevail and wrong anJ injustice shall be banished, has ever been laid down. We can't Improve on It, no matte: how we try. IHE Golden Rule was given to a A world torn by strife and poison ed by bitter Injustice. It didn't as we are now able to see. looking back from our present elevation over the 30 centuries that have since elapsed make over fie world ALL AT ONCE. But Its kindly philosophy and its broad tolerance, working on human beings through these 20 centuries, have made this a vastly better world to live tn. NRA. as such, is dead. There is hopeful talk among the horde of code administrators and underlings who draw their salaries from it. of reviving it in some form. But the blue eagle Is dead. Every one who knows anything at a1; knows that. The nopeful talk comes from thos? who h ope to con 1 1 n ue th e 1 r com -fortable administrative Jobs. NRA was a vast and complicated structure that was bound In time to fall of Its own weight It has fallen, and this writer, whose opinion is probably of no Important to anybody but himself, believes that It la better so. Business ne.is to b. dons as simply as possible, so that prloes may be held down to what people can afford to pay. NRA tended to make business com plicated and bunglesome. ar.d com plication tends inevitably towage higher cost. If you doubt that. loo at out government-regulated utili ties, such as the railroads whm? costs have been driven so high as t? make their rates seriously burden some. IF we are to have a substitute f'.v NRA and certainly It is wise t retain the good while discarding the bad let' make It SIMPLE. Nothing could be simpler than tn Golden Rule. If each of us will Just do unto others as he would that oth ers shall do unto him. the e'ils thet NRA was designed to cure wi.l vanish like mists before the warm Southern Oregon sun.

Proof of what was established by the ultra-smart trick executed by Senator Wheeler on the holding com pany bill. It nearly ruined the util ity opposition. The original bill was not exactly waterproof and went too far. Wheel er's committee decided to make many changes and did. Ordinarily these changes would be offered on the senate floor as committee amend ments to the original bill. A vote would be required on each one. But the slick Mr. Wheeler decided to avoid that. Alter the changes were made, he re-Introduced the bill, in cluding the committee amendments. Unnoticed he rushed this changed bill through the committee a second time. When the measure was brought up for discussion. It was discovered that there were no committee amend ments, that all had been Incorpor ated in the bill.

Shall I take Latin as part of my course? When I was at the same age nearly 50 years ago Latin was compulsory. And if I desired the degree of Bache lor of Arts when I got through col lege. I was required not only to take Latin but also Greek. As to the value of taking Latin, an interesting Item may be found by looking at the three prints placed side by side In The Pathfinder of June 1. In order to Illustrate the "high, brow" talk of Undersecretary Tug well. a part of one of his addresses was placed alongside of Lincoln's Gettys burg speech and the Declaration of Independence in erder to show the simpler style of those two famous documents. But the three speeches offer an excellent basis to make a study of the relation of Latin to our own language. Mr. Lincoln used 266 words, and of these 29 are Latin, or almost exactly one In nine. Mr. Tugwell uses 78 Latin words out of a total of 347. a little less than one-fourth of the whole number. And Jefferson uses 66 Latin words out of a total of 172, or about one-third. It ts interesting to note how nearly equal in length fire the Gettysburg speech and the Declaration of Inde pendence. Mr. Lincoln was noted for the simplicity of his language, and yet he used one Latin word for every eight English words In his most fa mous speech. Latin seems to have some place in our language even if It ts dead. WM. CARLE. Lake Creek. May 31.
