Bring Them to Bookl
WHEN the Oregonian and the Portland Journnl apree upon
something it must have merit. '
Jn this case it certainly ha.
Both Portland papers heartily approve o the recent convic
tions in the Billingham union labor shooting case, and both
demand the Oregon Bar Association bring the defense attorneys
to book, for their unethical methods in attempting to free their
clients and defeat the ends of justice.
Established evidence clearly indicates that:
The Billingham brothers confessed their guilt and wanted to
plead guilty. But their lawyers persuaded them not to do so.
They also persuaded them to repudiate their confessions, claim
they had been secured by third degree methods and intimidation
on the part of the police, and perjure their way to acquittal.
Such methods are frequently adopted by certain types of
criminal lawyers, are frequently suspected by the public; but
any real evidence to support the suspicion, is so often impossible
to get.
Where there IS evidence, as is true in this case, according
to the sworn testimony of the defendants themselves, what
POSSIBLE excuse can there be for the Oregon Bar Association
to ignore such disclosures T
AS we see it none whatever, unless the State Bar association's
frequently announced policy of favoring thorough going
legal reform, has just been so much window dressing, and has
not. been advanced in good faith. .
Nothing has done more to increase crime in this country, and
make the United States a happy hunting ground for criminals,
than such unethical and really criminal tactics, as apparently
were adopted by the lawyers in this case. Nothing has done
more than such cases as these, to place the entire legal profession
under a cloud as far as public opinion is concerned.
The Mail Tribune is glad to join with the Journal and Ore
gonian, in demanding that the Oregon Bar Association take
cognizance of this case, and pr6ceed at once to have the lawyers
involved, come before the proper
they should not be disbarred.

engines, true tear-drop bodies in which streamlining is
carried to its extreme, such innovations as Diesel motors, and

that will make for the comfort and convenience of the driver

The fact is that the manufacturers, by complying with the
president's request to bring their new models out earlier in order
to prevent a lapse of employment, have had little time for retool
ing, and changes incident to radically changed models. The
industry no doubt welcomes the pause and will be in a position
to reap the maximum "profit from what is confidently expected
to ht another big year for the industry. The publio must now
look to 1937 for another forward step toward the "automobile
of the future" which long has been promised.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
A mother cites my opinion that
condensed milk is adequate food for
a baby and relates her experience:
"I had to start
my baby on the
bottle at six
weeks. From then
until he was five
months old I
tried many foods
on the advice of
my physician,
giving eac'i a fair
trial. Nothing
would stay down.
Meantime I heard
of one bxby after
another that had
had the same
difficulty and had bevn settled by
the use or a. brand of) condensed
milk. " I fought Its use, and my
doctor would not hear of It. But
finally, about ten weeks ago, I suc
cumbed. He started to gain Im
mediately and the vomiting stop
ped. He also started to sleep.. By
the age of six months he weighed
17 pounds. Just double his birth
weight. A week Ago I stopped the
condensed milk and started on
cow's mlik- He has no trouble
whatever to digest this now. Bach
feeding Is five ounces of milk with
. two ounces of barley water, with
a teaspoonful of lime water in It,
and a teaspoonful of corn syrup.
Of course all the while we were
giving the baby condensed milk we
gave him also a teaspoonful of cod
liver oil three times dally with the
Juice of an orange and two slices
of banana mashed.
At seven months he weighed 19
pounds but he is not flabby fat.
He is very sound. My physician
recently examined and passed htm
as o. k.
Now lam still uncertain whether
condensed milk la adequate diet Jn
spite of my experience. But I
wished to tell you of my experience
with the sugary concoction (for
that la all it Is).
(Mrs. W. H. MoK.)
I would not and never did o so far
as to pay that condensed milk, with
dally rations of orange Juice, cod liver
oil and ripe banana. Is not adequate
food for a baby. Mrs. McK s experi
ence would Indicate that it Is entirely
adequate. Nor would I Infer from
this brief biography of a bottle baby
that such a diet is adequate were It
not for the fact that Mrs. McK's
physician has found the Infant's nu
tritional condition normal.
The condensed milk I considered
Inadequate food for ft baby was not
quite the same as the condercted milk
of today. Condensed or evaporated
milk today la equivalent to fresh milk
In vitamin values, perhaps superior In
vitamin D. Sweetened condensed
milk or evaporated milk keeps well,

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
IN 1936, beginning early In the
spring, probably, an advertising
campaign designed to bring tourists
here from other states will be carried
on by the state of Oregon.
The highway commission will be
In charge of this campaign, and the
money to finance it some 440.000 to
$50,000 will be taken out of gaso
line tax money.
It la NOT a diversion of gasoline
tax money from highway purposes,
as It Is expected to bring into Oregon
enough people from outside our bor
ders, who will buy gasoline while
here and so pay gas taxes, .to repay
the entire expenditure Rnd leave a
profit besides.
. (Making a profit fur Us user, you
know, is the purpose of advertising,
which Is merely multiplied and ex
tended salesmanship, carrying sales
messages to more people than could
be reached In any other way at a cost
that anybody could afford).
THE highway commission hss nam
ed an advisory committee made up
of people fa milt at with advertising
problems, and this committee met lor
the first time In Portland last week
to lay plans for next year's campaign.
The committee recommends that
the bulk of the money be spent for
paid advertising apace, in states Im
mediately adjacent to Oregon, with
California receiving principal atten
tion as more than half of all our
tourist travel cornea from California.
IN OTHER years, if the plan proves
profitable that is. If It brings In
considerably more money than It
costs it Is planned to extend the
advertising to the Middle West and
the East, with probable use of maga
rlnes of national circulation, but for
the present the wise course of shoot

safe where there Is any doubt about
the character of the fresh milk avail
able, t.
Evaporated milk Is fresh pure sweet
whole cows' milk concentrated by re
moving half of the water and steril
ized. Condensed milk Is concentrat
ed In the same way, but has 40 per
cent of sugar added as a preservative.
For Infant feeding or any other
purpose, so far as I can learn (and
frankly I was formerly . prejudiced
cgalnst condensed milk), condensed or
evaporated milk, sweetened or un
sweetened. Is no less wholesome nor
desirable then fresh milk.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Cataract.
I am 67. Cataract has formed on
my right eye. At my age would you
advise removal of cataract? Is there
a better way to remove cataract than
by operation? (Mrs. N. L. E.)
Answer Cataract does not form on
the eye. It Is rather an opacity, a
clouding In the crystalline lens with
in the eye. There is no other way
to remove or cure cataract. I believe
most successful cataract operatlpns
are done on patients of your age or a
few years older. Your oculist and
your family physician should decide
whether you ohvuld have the oper
ation now.
Carrots.
Craving for carrots. Eat saveral
pounds of them a week. My skin Is
very sallow . . . (Mrs. G. B.)
Answer Eating raw carrot is a
healthful habit. Where a great quan
tity of carrots, raw or cooked, is eat
en, the yellow pigment in them may
give the skin a sallow hue, especially
the palms, but this clears up soon
after the excessive eating of carrots
is stopped.

Would like to get In touch with the
correspondent who flaked you about
the safety of buying th?m to dis
tribute to poor children. (L. P. T.)
Answer I do not keep memoranda
of names or addresses of correspond
ents. My recollection is that the or
ganization collected such books as
people donated for the purpose. The
use of secondhand books or maga
zines is perfectly safe, so far as the
chance of carrying disease Is con
cerned. (Copyright, 1935, John P. Dllle Co.)

ing where the ducks are thickest is to
be followed.
Every duck hunter knows that this
is sound policy, especially when one's
ammunition Is limited and $50,000
isn't much ammunition for a na
tional advertising campaign.
But it Is enough for a start, and If
we can get started off wisely we
ought to be able to keep going until
our campaign of selling Oregon
reaches really impressive proportions.
OREOON has a fine system of state
highways one of the best In the
country. It has cost a lot of money.
If our fine system of highways Is
used aa extensively as it should be,
It will prove the wisest investment
we ever made. If it ISNT used to
anywhere like Its capacity, the wis
dom of the investment will be doubt
ful. Primarily this advertising campaign
la intended to bring about use of
Oregon's, fine highways by people
from other states who will not only
buy gasoline and so pay taxes to the
state but who will buy many other
things from our people and so help
to make business better and employ
ment more plentiful.
This writer thinks the whole idea
Is an excellent one.

Baldness is an affliction that has
cut short a number of stage ambi

into other roles. The proximity of the
audience permits no hirsute decep

portrayers of Romeo as well as swash

the single trotters and pacers hitched

no large items to objet to.
General objection to the whole bud
get would not get the hearing any
where, and there is no real objection
to the whole budget as such. The
very nature of ft is such that the in
dividual Items must be taken up by
themselves.
In discussing Items it becomes pos
sible to digress and get over some
ideas on taxation that may lead to
some good.
My idea is that the whole system of
property taxation Is wrong; it is crudn
and an injustice and, in fact, we call
It vicious.
The system divides up the cost of
government and places It upon the
owner of property regardless of
whether he Is able to pay or not, and
he has to pay or the property can be
confiscated. Just now a heavy tax
item is the relief and pension bud
get; now the burden that is placed
upon the poor property owner, who
may, himself, be In far worse shape.

and more in need of relief than those
that actually get relief.
The property owners canot get a
dime of relief; they have tried It. I
have talked to men who had tears
in their eyes telling me that they
had tried to get relief work and were
denied because they owned a piece of
property, and still had to dig up to
help the other fellow.
My Idea is that the burden of gov.
ernment should be placed on a man's
earning power and on his spending
power.. No matter how small a man's
earnings were during the year, he
should pay. if it was only a dollar
or two (lots of the property taxes
are very small items): also, the same
man should pay on what he spends;
if he does not spend much, he does
not pay much.
If a man should earn. say. ten
thousand a year, he should be able
to pay a good bit of it on :h earn
ing power; now if this same man
wants to save most of It and spends
only a thousand dollars, his spending
tax would not be much.
Another example: A man may be
able to earn only, let us say. four
hundred dollars: his earning tax
would be very small indeed, possibly
only one dollar; and he would be
able to spend all of It for only bare
necessities, which would be taxed
very light.
The idea that property has earning
power has been exploded high, wide
and handsome. Most property now
is coming out far in the red and can
not stand a tax burden and the
property owner's earning power la
quite often lowered by having to
spend his time taking care of this
same property.
