Good Work and Bad
TVTOTHING could more clearly show the absence of proper
leadership and sense of public responsibility in the state
legislature, than the action taken yesterday on the Townsend
old age pension plan.
This session was called to meet an emergency, created by the
burning of the state capitol building, and the confusion existing,
regarding the state social security program, particularly in the
direction of old age pensions.
It was obviously the legislature's duty to concentrate upon
these two objects, transact the important business concerning
them, and in the interest of economy and the state welfare ad
journ as soon as this work had been done.
TAD the legislature never taken action on the Townsend plan,
to bring up the question at this special session would have
been out of order. But to bring up the matter when action HAD
been taken at the regular session, and then to demand merely
a .REPETITION of that action which was nothing but an empty
gesture anyway was utterly inexcusable, and from the stand
point of good government, nothing short of shameful.
Not only does it show the
and leadership in the lower house, but it shows the abject politi
cal cowardice of the membership of that body as a whole.
fTfVE venture to say there are not ten members of the lower
house who sincerely believe in the Townsend old age pen
sion plan, and we doubt if

But they know there are votes behind the proposal, that to
oppose it directly or indirectly, means to incur the displeasure
and opposition of an organized political minority, so when it
ceme to a show down they refused to vote according to their
convictions, and following the example of all political jelly-fish,
drifted along the) easiest way.
As a result this second mr-morializing of congress to adopt
the Townsend plan was adopted by a vote of :)6 to 241

tives and vote against such an ahuse of the legislative privilege.
All credit to them.
An overwhelming majority of the people including we bc
liee many who favor the Townsend plan in principle, will
uphold them in taking such action, at such a time as the present,
and under conditions which now prevail.

NRA was abolished.
The fact Is one government author

specific large Industries and has
found them relatively unchanged
since January. That Indicates the
demolition of NRA has had no appre
cKble wnge effect In the large Indus

the Increase in the payroll Index Is
that It includes a lot of small factor

It seems regrettable, however, that
while they were at it they didn't

I wish to tell you laymen that I am
quite sure the conversational spray

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Diathermy Extirpation of Nasal
Polyps
Baltimore nose and throat surgeon,
addressing Knoxville, Tenn., Medical
Society, concluded:
1. Surgical procedures In the re
moval of polypi In most Instances
do not give permanent results.
2. Surgical procedures are hazard
ous and there Is a mortality rate.
3. High frequency current properly
applied gives permanent cures.
4. There Is no danger of hemorr
hage. 5. There Is no loss of time from
occupation.
0. It Is the only satisfactory
method of completely eradicating
nasal polypi.
Buffalo nose and throat surgeon
informed me that he couldn't mas
ter the diathermy method for tonsils,
try as he might, but In obstinate
sinusitis cases diathermy or electro
snrgery had given him the best re
sults he ever saw.
Yet there are still a few long-eared
old humbugs in the profession who
I would have the dumb public believe (
diathermy la no good, especially for
extirpating infected tonsils.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
o
N THE eve of'applying economic
the boycott on Italy, the French have
a new scheme for stopping the war.
News abou l the scheme is vague as
these words are written, but It la
said "to Involve concession of terri
tory by Ethiopia to Italy.
That It to say. if the little fellow
will give the big fellow what he
want, the fighting will stop.
That's the way wars usually end.
M
ORE about
the French in this ;
dispatch:
"Premier Laval Is reported to have
said that the French position In the j
international crisis remains unchang- i
ed-to keep contact with Italy and j
, .
at the same time to respect obllga-
tions of the league part regarding j
sanctions."
If you understand the language of j
t
diplomacy, you will realize that this j
Is another way of saying thnt the
French haven't decided yet which
side their bread is buttered on.
-
LEASE note, also, this dispatch:
"Premier Laval Is said to have
replied satisfactorily to French sena-!
tors uneasy over the effect of trade
penalties against Italy upon French
business."
Their uneasiness Is prompted by
reports of Italian women refusing to
mil 'rm '1
.l $i ii; wj
purchase French gowns and par
fumes. This boycott business, you see,
works BOTH WAYS.
AND here Is Tn amusing dispatch:
"Measures have been adopted
(by Italy) to increase the food yield
from FISHING AND HUNTING, which
will be permitted on certain state
and private properties."
Most people, housewives In par
ticular, who are famlller with the
food supplies brought back by average
hunters and fishermen, together with
the cost thereof, will chuckle at the
Idea that the Italians will be able to
do much in the way of averting
threatened famine by going hunting
and fishing.
Y THE way, while you're on the
subject of hunting, Andy Collier
nnd Vic O'Neill returned last week
from a hunting trip away over In the
Summer Lake country, bringing back
with them some tall tales.
One of these tales concerned a
couple of pet cats at the ranch where
tb.ey stayed. The weather got pretty
nlrpy at night, freezing a thin scum
of Ice over the ponds, and Andy and
Vic swear that these cat got out
every - morning and staged skating
I parties on the ice, seeming to enjoy
the sport hugely.
That's their story, and they stick1
to It. So far, their friends have
failed to shake their story In detail.
THESE cats, they say (and as to
this they speak from hearsay, not
having seen It themselves but having

I dream of you by night,
I wake, and would you were here. love.
And tears are bllndlne mv nieht

The wind is blowing through,

Oh, think not I can forget you;

The flowers that slumber so gently,
The stars above the blue:
Oh. heaven itself, my darling,
Is praying, praying for you.
