Alabama, lived his entire lifetime of M years in the house lo which was born. he The State Capitol Mess IT'S too bad. Not so much for the prexont, as for the future. The burning of the state capital was a great loss, but it also represented a great opportunity. At the outset of the present special session, the Mail Tribune expressed the hope that this legislature would follow the exam ple of the state administration of over half a century ago, anil take full advantage of this opportunity, show the courage and the vision of the. leaders and the legislators of THAT day, and build not for their day alone but for the future, as far as that might be possible for all time. This did not mean necessarily spending a lot of money, making a big show it did mean having a definite, forward Inciting plan, a comprehensive, intelligent, and enlightened plan, and having whatever was done, an INTEGRAL part, OF that plan. rT,ITIS is precisely what the legislature did NOT do. After milling around for three weeks, going in one direction and then another, and finally back to the first direction, the two houses finally, in the closing hours of the session, simply threw up their hands, and went back to where they started from, namely: the old site of a few hundred square feet, 'and the final structure, building, land and EQUIPMENT limited to $2,500,000 : with no provision for future development whatever! Tin-: fit- RE was another fortunate but it did happen at a time when the U. S. government had an exlensivo public works program, and was in a position to materi ally assist any state, suddenly forced through an unforsecn stroke of bad luck to build a new capitol structure. Thanks, largely to Governor Martin's efforts and his influ ence with the Roosevelt administration, a federal grant of .$1, 075,000 was secured. Not only did the legislature fail to adopt any definite forward looking state building plan, but it turned down practically half a million dollars of federal money tlmt this state could have had to assist it, in carrying out its building program. All of which to this paper at least is hard to understand. 'T'HE Portland Oregonian has an explanation for it. The action, it claims was the result of anger the members of t.hj legislature revolted against the pressure exerted by the gov ernor, for a permanent and comprehensive plan, and in retali ation, fignrativly pulled a Samson and pulled down the building temple entirely. The Oregonian should know, the situation at Salem, and commends the action of the legisla ture as "sensible", closing with this new battle cry for the state that flies with its own wings: "Nobody worried about additional Capitol lands until the old structure burned" the obvious con clusion being "AVHT should they worry about it, AFTER." (With equal force and logic,- one might inquire: no one worried about an operation BEFORE the attack of appendicitis why should anyone worry about it after 1) Nevertheless, it is hard to believe the legislature was of such calibre that it would sacrifice the proper state capitol program, and the welfare ot the state, to its own spirit of personal PIQUE AND ANGER. We certainly don't approve of what the legisla-' ture did concerning the new state capitol, but we have a higher idea of its statesmanship and sense of responsibility than THAT ! 117IIATEVER the exact reason for this action, it is, as stated " . above, too bad. Not that Oregon can't get by of COURSE it can get by, and no doubt whatever is built will be adequate for the pressing needs of the state, for many years perhaps as a makeshift, for the present generation. That isn't the point. The point is the next generation and the generation after that, the state for all time. It's not a matter of dollars and cents, but essentially a matter of SPIRIT. Here, as before stated was a great opportunity. An oppor tunity to show the world that. Oregon, is not, as too many have assumed, a backward, unprogressive, penny-wise and pound foolish state; not a state that such a thing as a depression, could get down, as far as its confidence in itself or its courage in its future is concerned ; but a progressive, forward looking, up-to-date commonwealth which in any crisis could be depended upon to build with wisdom and vision and intelligence for the future. . . . . nPIIAT was the outstanding principle involved as we saw it and still see it. We had no particular site in mind, nor any fixed sum to spend, we did want to see a definite, far seeing plan adopted, one that didn't look ten but a hundred years ahead. If Oregon could afforil only to spend one million, all right lei it only spend that. Two million! All right let that be the limit. But let WHATEVER WAS SPENT be spent, NOT for a makeshift, hut for a PART of a comprehensive and permanent plan, which when carried out, wouhl give the people of Oregon what they should have. a capitol building, a state centre, answering the needs of the state for tho present and the future, serving as an inspiration and a source of justifiable pride, THROUGH A Lb THE YEARS TO COME. "TMIAT as we understand it was Governor Martin's idea. It is certainly our idea. We regard it as a shame and a pity this was not done. But. with the site definitely limited to the old one; and the amount limited to $1,373,000 for the state, of course it can't he done. The special session had the opportunity and it muffed it. The only chance as we see it, now rests with the capitol huitdinc committee, and action by the NEXT legislature, which we ad mit is decidedly a remote one. BENEFITS AIRED WAJHINOTON.

Beverly Hills. Cal. FIVE MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR There Is a naive notion prevalent among the laity that physicians on the staff of a hospital receive sala ries for their ser vices to hospital patients. This notion en ables many well- 5 i evftde pRying for medical or surgl e a 1 treatment. spread prac tice of working this racket Is a f a c t or of no small importance in the nign co; of sickness for hon est people who prefer to pay their Just debts. It is a scandal In ail large metropolitan areas, this cadg ing of medical and surgical treat ment by the dishonest well-to-do cit l7n. It Is high time that some pub licity were given to the abuse, and the rights of the taxpayers, who. of course, carry tho burden in the long run, were protected. , The evil grows out of the unwise policy of turning public hospitals over to the control, direct or indirect, of politicians. In politics, as the game is played An this country, ma chinery is Indispensable, and the pol itician with a Job to hold or an aa plrntlon to power, must build and maintain his machine, and patronage Is the fuel which runs a political machine. The chief of the surgical staff In one large metropolitan hospital per sonally does more than 400 major opertalons In his six months of serv ice each year. Two Juniors working under him work all night every night in the year and do from 10 to 14 emergency operations every night. The actual value of the surgical work done by this one doctor, estimating a fee of 9260 for a major operation and that Is certainly conservative- Is $100,000. Yet the doctor receives not on penny for his work, nor Is he pormltted by law to exact a fee for any work he does in the hoaltal. even thoueh the hospital discovers In some Instances that the patient la well able to pay and collects a nomi nal sum for board and care. Not only are the staff members not paid for their services, but they re ceive precious little credit or ac knowledgement of any kind In the official reports of the hospital. The doctors are looked upon as back ground merely, although the primary purpose of a hospital is to care for the airk and Injured and tliere. would be no point in taking patients to a hospital if there wero no doctors to attend them there. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY Ry O. O. Mclntyrc NEW YORK, Nov. 12. Ernest Hemingway became the white-haired boy of the cafes and night clubs on his re cent metropol itan visit. Broad way usually lav ishes Its lionis ing on a radio, movie or stage star. But, with the exception ot Michael Arlen. aeldom an au thor. Press agents who cold en tice Hemingway to a front row table and then have his presence noised about were certain of a tilt in receipts for the evening. That's a branch of the p.a.'s art these days landing a celebrity and tip ping It off to the fswners. Hemingway waa symbolic of the great out-doors to the pallid pat rons of the stuffy night mosques The stalker of Hons, the deep sea battler with the barrtcurfa and fre quenter of the Spanish bull rings. What is more, he gave the impres sion of. being unconscious of his celebrity. He engaged in florid arguments at the bare with casual toss-pot, seemed 'to enjoy the floor shows and walked out sober at dawn. Somewhat a phenomenon In the usual blurr. He gave cafe society a Phanr to boat: "Aa I asld to Hemingway last night at t" I like t watch a cafe torch singer bob Into the room with ani mation a short while before he puts on her act and shen watch her drift back to' her special table in melancholy harw after her la ment is finished.

They give five million dollars a year In the form of professional services to the pa tients In the hostptal. Tet these doctors have to dig down and pay taxes to support the hospital where they carry on their charity. Surely It would be equitable to pay the fee of the staff physician or-surgeon, who attends a patient from whom the hospital collects for board and care. Likewise the staff physician or surgeon should ,' not be compelled to give free service to a cadger who is In the hospital through the she nanigan of some crooked politician. The whole question of free hos pitals and free clinics cries loudly for public investigation and reform. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ' The Baby's Exercise Does a baby five months old need exercise? If so, how should he get It? (Mrs. W. A.) Answer, From the age of a month the baby should have half an hour of play every day. say when you un dress him for his bath. Place him on a blanket on the floor and let him play or play with him. Write to Chil dren's Bureau, Labor Department, Washington, D. C, for free pamphlets on care of the baby and child care. Or write me, enclosing 10 cents coin and a stamped envelope bearing your address for the Brady Baby Book. Quinine In what docs quinine act on the body? What Is quinine made of? Is It harmful to take 10 grains at one time? Mrs. L. O. T.) Ans. Quinine Is an alkaloidal sub stance extracted from the bark of a tropical tree. I cannot give to the lady the physiological or pharmaceu tical action of the drug. Ten grains at one dose Is often taken without intoward effect in the treatment of malaria. Some persons may suffer from buzzing In the ears and other bad effects from such a dose.

Comment on the Day's News By PRANK JENKINS A3 these words are written, Tues day's off-year election is two days old, the returns ire all In, and BOTH PARTIES ars claiming a smashing victory. HENRY P. FLETCHER, chairman of the Republican nation! com mittee, says for publication: "The boondogglers are on their way out. The Republican party la on 1U way back to power. Near York. Philadelphia and Cleveland tell the story and point the way." Jamee A. Parley, Democratic na tional committee chairman and all around Democratic political big shot, says: "The balloting In New York (where the Republicans won the legislature) was a victory for the New Deal. Things even look good now for Roose velt to carry Pennsylvania next year; something he failed to do In 1032.' IP you are an ordinary, average citi zen, seeking no office and with no pol I tl cal repu ta tl on to sust aln . your reaction to these statements will be something like this: "Shucks! The Republican bosses are bragging over something they didn't get, and the Democratic bosses are whistling to keep their courage up. You can't believe a word EITHER says." Which iari't far from the truth SO, since wo can't believe what the political dopeatera tell us about Tuesday's not very important elec tion, let's look around and see If we can find some straws that will tell ib IMPARTIALLY which way the wind is blowing. Here is one contained In a copy righted dispatch from New York: "Betting odds that President Roose velt will be re-elected In 1935. quoted five, days ago by Wall Street garb ling commissioners, at ten to one, (tkidded to TWO to one tonight as a result of yesterday's elections." THAT 1 to say, hard-hsaded citi zens who aren't greatly interest ed in political dopesheets but are keenly interested in making a little easy money or losing it interpret Tuesday's election.- aa an Indication that people are THINKING DIFFERE NTLY and that President Roosevelt's re-election in 1936 is no longer tn-to-one easy money shot. - HERE la another straw: "Smashing gains of one to more than five points on the New York stock exchange today (Wednes day the day after the elections) brought the first three million share day aince July. 103. and ent the industrial average (stock price aver age) to a new high since 1931.' WHY? Well, presumably, hard-headed people with money to Invest inter preted Tuesday's elections as a fore cast of an Impending political change and FELT ENCOURAGED aa a result. Peeling encouraged, they spent their money tn the belief that busi ness will Improve, profit will In crease and values will rise. HERE la some goodadvtce: Never believe a politician when he ts talking about politics. Politi cians seldom beleve what they them nelve say about politics, and they NEVER believe what another politi cian says. .The best rulei to look the facts In the face and draw your own con clualons. t (Continued From Page One.) pressure is whipped up. The first whip was raised on the radio recently by State Secretary Hull. What the otherwise mild-mannered Mr. Hull wants to do ts to get the Democratic power to threaten the ag gressive nation with a severance of trade relations. Also, he wants to per mit free flow of munitions and trade to the nations threatened by agres sion. It la hi theory that thee dire d.p- lomatlc threats will prevent war; but some of the congressmen think they mifiht involve us tn war. What the congressmen also have In the back of their heads Is an ap preoption of what a re: emsarco would do to cotton and when prices and exports. It will take a lot of pub' lie "education" to make them charge their minds.
