The control board fixed the minimum price at forty cents per quart. One Fred Meyer, Inc., of Portland sold ice cream for 29 cents. Thus violating the agreement of the ice cream makers, the board brought ant.inn to compel obedience to the agreement. Meyer refused and brought action himself. Meyer was uphelthy the sustained by the state supreme AAA is out as far as Oregon is XHAT does this meant " regulate business in their Probably not. The people can do practically anything they wish to do, by passing laws legalizing their action. But it does mean that under they can't go as far as fixing else. That in any one industry and regulations upon a minority, of legislative powers, etc., etc. This decision regarding state ment with the U. S. supreme court decision regarding interstate business, in the now famous chicken case, and would seem to settle the matter, as far as the legalistic issue is concerned. 'T'HE next question is: can the constitutional objections be removed, by changing the wording of the measures invali dated? The attempt has been made by congress. A similar attempt may be made by the state legislature. Opinions differ regarding the probable outcome, but that matter must be left of course to the courts. VITUAT this paper is interested in is the essential principle " involved, which we predict, will sooner or later become a very important issue in this state and throughout the country. The principle is this: in a government of the people, for the people and by the people, HAVE, or have NOT, the people the right to regulate business, as they desire intra-state or inter state whether it is a matter of fixing prices, regulating meth ods, imposing standards of size and quality, or what have you. And if they HAVE that right is it desirable that this right should be exercised, in this country? TPHOSE who not only long for the good old days but believe tliis country can return to them, will reply with an emphatic "no". There is too much government in business 0w, too little rugged individualism; what we need is less government in busi ness and more business in government, etc., etc. Those who believe the good old days are not only passed bijt will never return, that the world war was responsible for certain fundamental changes in our social and economic structure; and that the old free for all, of unregulated and unorganized com petition must, if tho capitalistic system is to endure, be replaced by some intelligent economic plan, will hold to the contrary view. Retween these two extremes will be those who have no def inite opinions one way or the other, will form none until the issues involved become clearer, but who will, eventually, with their votes decide the question. It is going to be a pretty warm battle when it comes, and unless all signs fail, it will be the chief issue between the, two major parties, if not in 1936, certainly four years later. "Of the Transgressor IV you think you are smart, if you have a shaking notion you can bent tho game, if you feel that most people are just a buneh of suckers compared with your smart ways, rend these lew lines from the day's news: A broken old man Albert B. Kail, 71 years old now sits in a wheel chair in a spacious ranch house at Three Rivera, N. M., amid the faded (lories of the days when he held high office. The discredited former secre tary of the interior, who was convicted of taking a bribe, who lost his rnnch by foreclosure, even lost his citizenship, and efforts to have it restored have thus far failed. Now ho faces a final strugglo to hold bis home and the last. 100 acres of the 750,000-acro ranch. The letter requesting him to vacate his ranch home was signed by Mrs. K. L. Doheny, wife of the oil magnate who was Kail's partner as a prospector and was later involved with him in the oil scandals. "Tho way," declares a book, which despite its pictistic uses as a religious mentor, nonetheless, contnins in stark and beauti ful language, the shrewd, hard-boiled wisdom of the sophisticates of the ages, "of the transgressor is hard!" In the end and in the long run "the game" is unbeatable. Sooner or later, death or the devil will get you! Exchange.

AS OL X am 73 years old and in perfect health, writes a correspondent, But I am worried because I think I would feel better if I had a few dis eases or at least some symptoms. Wasn't It a fam ous doctor who said that some- slight all ments promote longev ity? It seems natural with great many peo ple Including my self to feel un easy unless there Is some kind of distress. I thlnlc everybody ought to have few diseases In order to feel comfortable, I have wondered lately whether I haven t too many organs Inside of me, and If so whether an operation might be feasible to remove some of them. I remember a model or manikin I saw in our family doc tor s office bock home years ago, and It seemed to me the organs were rather crowded' and that If one or two were removed the rest of them would have more freedom to function properly. Where would you suggest to begin with, and how many should be taken out at the first operation? Studying anatomy Is like studying as tronomy it is hard to tell the exact d Is to nee from one organ to the next. I will thank you for any practical hints you can give me along this tine. I feel a little ashamed of my Inno cence- and inexperience when I con verse with friend (E. J, B.) It was Oliver Wendell Holmes who said that with care chronic bronchitis might prove to be the slight ailment that prolongs longevity.. And' there you are, equipped right off the bat with a first-class disease which, should fill the void in your life with great satisfaction. Gives you the right to fuss about your diet, the weather, cli mate, clothing, household heating, ventilation, your circulation, you. sleep, the Townsend plan, exercise, your own tobacco, the horrendous brand your neighbor smokes, the use of alcohol, 'freak remedies and fad systems of treatment, the lax enforce ment of traffic ordinances, the wild and ruthless conduct of children who use the sidewalks for blcyclelng, roll er skating and other games you don't play any more, the high cost of med ical care, the worthlessness of pills and potions prescribed by physicians and, If you don't keep one, dogs. , If you're set on having a diverting j disease, I can recommend chronic i bronchitis.

Just as the old-time bara had their Ingratiating moochers called barflies, so have the modern dainty COCKlll 1 DHTO their butterflies. Par up the scale from the cocotte of the bistro, they are never theless drink cadgers who re ceive the house percentage. Many are girls from college and the fashionable ' boarding schools, maids who can discuss Intelligently the world's changes as well as Indulge the pat ter of the latest slang. The slump in family fortunes and the dearth of Jobs brought about the new call ing. They nre not the vicarious girts of the cabarets and night clubs. They new leave the establishment with which they are Identified. Their Job is to look smart, fall unobstruslvely Into gatherings at the bar, promote drinks and sip non-alcoholic cock tails made especially for them. A bartender tells me It is not dif ficult for the girls to earn from 20 to $30 a week between the hours of 5:00 and 7:30 p. m. They must be smartly dressed and know how to handle gentlemen who have over indulged. Not much as a career, but a living! Many Broadway funerals, such as Tex On! nan's and Valentino's have taken on the hoopla of the circus arena. Perhaps one marked with the (t res test simplicity was that of Chas. K.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS PWA rejects Oregon's application for a gift of money with which to buy more land. as a site for the new capltol building. PWA'a refusal, a dispatch' from 8alem telle ' us, raises thla question: "What la to be dona about It?" r THIS writer, who la Just one of a. the million residents of Oregon, were to offer an answer to that question, It would run something like this: - "Let's do nothing at all about the site problem, merely going ahead and building an efficient, modern, busi nesslike capltol, adequate for the state's present and future needs, at tractive In appearance but not ex travagantly ornate, on the ground we already have." THIS answer, of course, will be A open to criticism, especially by those whose way It Is to BUT and BUT and let somebody else worry about paying the bills. They will say: - - "For shamel Tou have no vision! You're unable to see forward Into the future. You're short-sighted and can't anticipate the needa of poster ity.' TRUfe enough, probably. But one of the things chiefly wrong with us now Is that we've had too much vision and too little com mon sense In recent years. As for posterity. Its outstanding needs will be enough to eat, enough to wear, shelter from the storm and enough left over from these funda mentals for reasonable recreation so that life may be mads more enjoy able. If the upllfters and the vislonlsts go on piling up debt at the rate of the past few years, posterity will be crushed under the burden of PAY ING these debts. DON Fisher, chief ranger at the Lava Beds national monument, tells this one: The youngsters at the Lava Beds CCO camp caught a cub bear lsst spring and proceeded to make a pet of It, Cub. bears are about as Intrig uing pets as can be found, and ev erybody fell In love with the little rascal. The cub, for its part, returned all thla affection with Interest, and everything was lovely. Then, one unlucky day, the little bear strayed too far from camp and became lost. The camp was burled In gloom. SEARCH parties were organized and went out and did their stuff, but came back empty-handed. No pet cub was to be found. The gloom deepened. Then, one lucky day, a work detail was out on a Job and as. the boys j wore laboring away somebody heard j a whimper back In the rocks and 1 looking up saw the pet cub coming In on the run. He dashed Into the midst of the party, and It was pretty hard, Don says, to tell which was the nappies; over the reunion the ! boys or the cub. j The, little bear had had all the return to the wilds he wanted and was as happy ss a small animal could be to get back to civilisation. THE next time you're tempted to break down and cry over the sad fate of some wild animal In cap- 1 tlvlty, think of this Lava Beda bear cub that went native and then waa tickled within an inch of Its life to get back to the comforts of cap tivity. Communications "Let Va Fly Into the Dawn." To the Editor: In the Sept. 37th Issue of the "Capltol press" there Is an excel lent article under the caption "Claims Cltlrenship Lacks Intelligence" In which Col. Church reminds us, lest we forget, that the motto on Ore gon's coat of arms says- "She files with her own wings." It is well In these days of disillu sionment and struggle, to let our minds dwell upon the lofty signlft cance of that motto, bequeathed to us by the founders of our state. Surely they must have envisioned wings of purest white, tipped per haps with rose and silver as they soared Into the dawn of sn unlim ited future for our beloved state. And indeed, why not? could any future loom too great for a land so bountifully endowed by a be nign Providence? Her crowning glory Is the mighty rivers flowing between palisades ot perpetual green: those pine-claa billows of a continent that sweep across our state and break in ma jestic headlands to greet the yet greater maje&iy of the sea. The rushing, white loveliness of Oreson'a rivers are at once her su preme g'.ory and her Imminent prii. (or do they not represent the' white gold so coveted by the Power Trust' Chiefly because of this fact, our people today are in tha colls ot this rapacious clutch. We feel It's unmistakable grip upon our credit svstem, our courts, and the person nel of government Itself. W hav fallen upon evil days; our wlnga of state have been relin quished Into furtive hands, and are propelled by a force that Is preda tory In Its methods and ultimate objective. Thua our wings have drooped and tha feathera thereof have become defiled from misuse. What are these wings but em blems of our Inherent privilege of self-government aa expressed In the bill of rights of the constitution 01 the United States? However, rights beget responsibilities and therefore stern duties confront us. Even as In a far land long ago "the Lord atlrred Israel," so In our day the American "eagle stirs her nest." When I speak of the American eagle. I do not by any manner of meana refer to the blue vulture ol the K.I.B.A.: that brain-child of rellx Frankfurter, fathered by Ber nard Baruch, and fostered by the present administration. No Indeed) but I do refer to the real eagle, that all-Amerlcan bird whose wings like mighty symbols stretch from sea to sea across a nation of liberty loving citizens. The wisdom of the eagle knows Just the right time to "stir her nest" and force her brood to use their Ood-glven wings. So here In Oregon, we must no longer cower In a political nest that has long since become foul and out grown, but, casting aside all fear and In the spirit of righteousness, let us "fly with our own wings" trl- kumphsntly Into the dawn of a bet ter day. ARIEL BURTON POMEROT. Central Point, Ore., Oct. 1. (Continued from Page One) largely republican. It's purposes are democratic, but it will be called fas cist. Everyone seems to like Euro pean political words out here, since fascist methods killed the general atrtke. The regular politicians (republi cans and democratic) are doing con siderably coy flirting with all the wild movements this side of commun ism. They want the support. A tip on that was offered a few days back when President Roosevelt appointed a Sinclair man (George Acret) to the Guffey coal board. Post master General Farley Is supposed to have fixed that. It was the first pat ronage recognition he has given Sin clair. Of course, he hopes eplcao will be sold In New Deal bottles next year. A similar explanation lies behind the news some time back that Re publican Oovernor Merrlam had come out for the Townsend plan. His pals say he was misquoted, that he never favored $300 a month for anyone, but only a "reasonable" sum. What ever he favored. It was mindful of the Townsend strength out here. - What every visitor asks first Is how California comes to be the testing ground for all these fancy Ideas. There are few heavy industries here, consequently little Industrial unem ployment. The papers are currently publishing statistics showing that the Pacific coast states have recovered faster than others. (No bank failed In San Francisco.) How radicalism can flourish In such a situation Is explained by Call fornlans with the same answer they give to all other local phenomena the climate. Strangely, that seems to be the right answer, at least partly. Not that the weather Is so balmy It makes peo p a that way, but transients nave been pouring Into the state through out the depression. It is estimated that as many os 200.000 without sup port came Into the state during the depression. The federal transient bu reau has figures showing that It has been csrlng for 30.000 to 40.000 In coming destitutes each month. Also, the expansion of California during the last decade lured all classes of unsettled and dissatisfied people, living on Investments not yet recov ered. At any rate. It Is not too much to say that anyone could get nearly any kind of movement going In this state, even If Its purpose were solely to start an exploration expedition to the moon. Governor Merrlam Is acting very much like a vice presidential candi date, and he Is. His folks are trying to get the California delegation pledged to him for president, with a view to trading it off for the vice presidential nomination (a la Mc-Adoo-Garner). The most Influential republicans are privately working for an unlnstructed delegation or one Pledged to Hoover for Impersonal trading purposes. They will win. Frisco Is already preparing for a world s fair In 1038. Thera are 11.000 members of the longshoremen's union, but only 4.000 are working. Relief therefore Is sud- I porting a considerable portion of the left wing labor movement. Strong Knox sentiment exists among regular republicans. The Republican Progressive Senator Johnson told a delegation of canners off the record the other day that he would support Mr, Roosevelt In 36. The support probably will be quiet.
