The Independent Voter NOW and then Frank Kent, well known politico specialist, takes a rest from tearing the hide from President Roose velt day by day, and writes something that is interesting and sensible. We wish he did this more often. Kent is a very intelligent and well informed political observer, and his complete surrender to partisan propaganda, highly seasoned with hatred for the man who occupies the White House, has practically destroyed his value as a Washington, observer, for those who wish to secure a true, factual and unbiased picture of what is really going on in the national capital. A few days ago in his daily offering, Kent commented upon the recent decline of old fashioned party regularity, and pointed out a truth which is perfectly obvious, and yet is seldom acknowledged; that presidential elections are never decided by those who vote the ticket straight, but by those who pick and choose the independent minorify, that votes as conscience not as party dictates. Not only does this minority represent the free voters, but the effective voters. Kent's comments are so much to the point, and so in line with the political philosophy which has determined the policies of the Mail Tribune for, lo these many years, that we herewith print it in full : "The fact is elections in this country in the past have been decided by the approximately ten per cent, of the voters not held by party ties, but who swing be tween the two parties. Ninety per cent of the voters are divided between the Republicans and Democrats, with the former under normal conditions having the larger percentage but both pretty rigidly held by the inherited feeling about the party with which they are affiliated. These support their candidate for president regardless of issues or individuals, soley because he wears the party label. "This ten per cent are the free voters the ninety per cent are the boobs. That has been true of the ninety per cent in most presidential elections in recent years, if the same proportion holds it will be particularly boobish in the next. There are plenty of Republicans who believe in Mr. Roosevelt and there are a good many Democrats whose basic convictions are violated by his policies. The words Democratic and Republican, as for merly understood, have not the remotest application to either the New Peal or the chief New Dealer. Not, a ghost, of a reason for using them in connection with either party except, that of convenience can he given. " Whether you favor Mr. Roosevelt or not, the truth (if that statement cannot be gainsaid. It is so clear that the more thoughtful politicians generally concede that in 1036 the number of free voters will be very greatly increased, the percentage of party-bound boobs greatly lowered. It seems inevitable. Under conditions as they have developed the man who says "I am a life long Democrats" or "I am a lifelong Republican cannot take the curious pride in that kind of statement so many have in the past. That is, he can't if he reasons at all or has even a rudimentary sense of humor," Gov't. Control Banking Certain ALTHOUGH differing from one another in many respects, the bills on banking passed by the house and the senate cm body substantially THE SAME GENERAL, THEORIES of bunk ing and monetary regulation. assumption that a central body over what has been lermed three "instruments of credit con trol." These are: 1. Open-mrket operation, br which banking Inatltiitlon can b forced to expand or contract bank credit througfh the purrhnaa or sale of government eecurltlea: 9. Discount rates, through the control of which the rate a borrower must pay for bank credit la fixed: S. Reeerve requirement, the changing of which automati cally Increases or decrease the amount of credit a bank can extend. Broadlv, the differences between the senate and house mea sures hinge around the make-up of the regulatory body, and the amount of discretion given to that body. The house bill would practically place the Federal Reserve under the domination of the administration in power, while the senate version gives the board a far greater degree of independence. In the ease of open-market operation, the senate bill, instead of vesting com plete authority over this instrument of credit control with the board, places it under the supervision of a committee including five representatives of the Reserve Banks themselves as well as members of the board. Considerably less leniency is alo grant ed by the senate draft over reserve requirements and the eligi bility of assets of member banks used for rediscount. The house bill, setting up as controlled central bank, more nearly meets the wishes of the administration in pursuing its credit expansion program. In either measure, or in a compromise of the two, however, the administration would have in hand BROAD TOWERS to carry out further its fiscal procram.

And he explained that the d I a t h ermy method doea not remove all of the tonsil, and that It Is too "danger ous" he did not explain why It la "dangerous", for of c o u rs e he couldn't without risk of being caught at it. I don't want to dig up patholog ical findings of Dr. Albert S. Welsh, as reported In the Journal of the American Medical Association and quoted here elx years ago, but the attitude of many of the self-commended "beat specialists" constrain me to do ao. Dr. Welsh examined a thousand tonsils removed In a city dtapensary. Of the thousand tonsils, 4.10 revealed no evidence of dLsease. Bits of throat muscle were found attached to 139 of the tonsils proof that the "surgical operation" gets rather more than the tonsil In many cases. Only 70 of the thousand ton sils contained true abscesses or sep tic foci. Nose and throat specialists are too fond of talking about complete re moval of the tonsils, for the benefit of the unsophisticated layman, to real ize that all physicians and many in telligent laymen today know that complete removal of the tonsil Is al most never accomplished, no matter what method Is employed or who em ploys it. Moreover, any doctor who has more than sophomorie knowledge of path ology knows there Is no reason why all tonsil tlwue should be removed from the throat, save In rare cases of mallenancy. On the contrary, there la good reason for leaving some tonsil or adenoid tissue In the throat when we are striving to eradicate Infection. The normal tonsil or adenoid tissue probably serves a useful purpose in the line of defense against subse quent Infections. The trouble is that the brass spe cialists sre not concerned much about pathology, but rather with the num- , ber of operations they can do. Not all nose and throat specialist, out the braps boys; doctlrs who laonch themselves aa specialists from the day they receive a license to practice; so bright that they require no years of experience In general practice to fit them for their chosen specialty.

The sudden passing of the artist Ray Rohn in Philadelphia removed one of the liveliest figure of Ora mercy Park's young artists crowd ot 20 years ago. Rohn waa a free lance who sold everything he turned out to Life. Judge and the lighter pub lications. The studio he occupied with Herb Roth at No. 13 yeasted !ome of the most amusing bohem ian frivolities of the day. Once Roth and Rohn had a long wait at their barbershop and foreswore shaving a year. Their beards almost reached their waists, although they were only 26. About 11 years sgo Rohn married, moved to a suburb of Phil adelphia and became such a thor-ough-golna family man no Induce ment could net htm to New York. Not even to Dutch Treat shows.

The mortality of surgical tonsillec tomy In the hands of the best nose and throat specialists is scandalous, In view of the unassailable record that has been achieved by progressive physicians who use the diathermy method in the treatment of infected tonsil.

(Continued from Page One) counsel of the treasury, knew more about the preparation of the house bill than has yet been disclosed. In fact. Mr. OUphant is said to have eat (by proxy) at the right hand of Ii. H. Parker, the congressional tax draftsman who really wrote the bill. At least he waa closely consulted dur ing the preparation of the draft which changed the president's recommen dations materially. The lnaide story goes that Mr. Mor genthau did not find out about Mr. OUphant helping Mr. Parker until later. And perhaps there were exten uating circumstances. Possibly all Mr. OUphant told Mr. Parker was how to number the pages of the bill. At least that explanation la now pos sible, although not plausible.. The fact seems to be rather clear that the attempt of the treasury to imitate all three monkey a far a the tax bill Is concerned is thin sum mer fiction. Incidentally. It wa the old sage. Jim Watson, who, a floor leader of the senate in Mr. Hoover's adminis tration, once complained privately about the difficulty of following a leader with St. Vitus dance. The Har rison tax complaint waa in effect against trying to follow a ahadow dance. Also the reason why Mr. Harrison Is becoming so Inquisitive about the treasury changlnng tree limbs in the middle of the tax storm la that he waa caught out on the wrong limb not so long ago. You may recall that he was entrusted with the Job of try ing to attach the tax plan to the de ficiency bill In a hurry, and when that Idea proved to be Impossible, he manfully shouldered the responsibil ity for misunderstanding orders. Aa an explanatory note it should also be mentioned at this point that Mr. Harrison always known more than his words Indicate.

Communications Penitentiaries Overcrowded To the Editor: There is no doubt that most of the penltentlarte in the United State are dangerously overcrowded. Some have even twice aa many Inmates as they were built to accommodate. Isn't that a big factor In the parol ing of prisoners? Aren't parole boards for that reason pompelled to parole many prisoners who are unfit for society? Everywhere the people and legisla tures are stingy about voting ade quate funds for the penitentiaries. Are officials governors, wardens, boards of control helpless? Isn't It within their authority to refuse to receive convict when a penitentiary is dsngerously overcrowded? Thus putting the burden on the public? T. V. WILLIAMS. Medford. Aug. 4th. Abuse of Pardoning power To the Editor: A copy of the July Issue of the Journal of Criminal Law and Crimin ology ha Juat reached my desk. In which there is published a book re view which I wrot several months ago for the Journal on "The Pardon ing Power of the Governor of North Carolina." I think It Is interesting to note that In that review I wrote in part a follows: "One of the most questionable fea tures of the exercise of the pardoning power in the country is the all too prevalent practice of leading citizen signing petitions asking the governor to pardon some criminal. Very often such petitions are signed by the Judge, the prosecutor, and the Jurors who were Involved In the case. This practice provides a governor wltb an allbt or scapegoat and Is without a doubt subject to grave abuse, too fre quently not representing a careful In vestigation of the fact. The author make a sound point In regarjl to it as follows: 'While the opinion of the community in which the prisoner lived should be a very Important con sideration, the recommendation sent to the governor's office do not al ways represent the real will of the community. " Those who msy regard the early release of the prisoner a unwise are not requested to sign a petition. Also : In determining the weuh. to be given i to petitions from the communltv in which the prisoner lived, the qutck , subsiding of hostile public opinion ! must be considered. After the pris- ; oner haa been convicted and placed ; within prison wall, a natural feeling i of pity soon pervades the community. ; The prisoner is regarded solely as a : victim . of economic circumstances, j bad environment. Ignorance, or baa i heredity ... In view of the fact that It la always true that popular indlc- ; nation quickly subsides and popular emotions are directed with equal facility and qulcknesa Into channels of city and sympathy, the recommen dation of cltlrena should be support ed by other weighty considerations. It 1 also true that in many cases prominent citizens who are officers of organization or civic bodies sign re quests for pardon because an attor ney or a friend ha requested their aid In securing an early release of some prisoner.' " I thought that probably you would be Interested in such authentic ex pression of my opinion in regard o the pardoning power problem. WAY NT L MORSE. Dean. School of La- rupen. Aug. 3.
