TT'I'IS turning buck of vagrants at the California line by Los Angeles polico is bad business, and may become serious business. It is bad business because it is illegal. As Chester Rowell of the San Francisco Chronicle says: "After all even the hitch hiking hobo has certain rights under the Constitution of the United States which the fos Angeles expeditionary force has no constitutional power to take away from him. And the mere fact that these unwelcome migrants are doing something which Los Angeles very naturally does not wish them to do, is no justification for stopping them tion forbids. That rule applied against them, might return on us to deprive us of our rights too." . . '""pilE right of deportation or exclusion resides in the federal 1 government alone and is Even the federal government which has the power to forbid undesired foreigners from entering the country, has no right to deny that privilege to returning CITIZEN'S, nor to deny to any person who has the right, to be in any part of the United States, the right, to go freely to any other part." "He may be uarnntined where he is for contagious disease, or denied relief as an indigent if he applies for it elsewhere than in the place where he is entitled to it; but he can not be denied even by the federal government the right to go to a state or city, which does not want him. Still less has the state or local government that power." Editor Howell concludes: And. least of all, can prlvato citizens have thla power. There have been too many example,, recently, sometime, of Individuals but more often of jtmall organized groups, arrogating to themselves the power to deport or exclude undesired persona from their communities, or to deny them free speech or other constitu tional rlghta If they are there. Even government lacks this authority, and private citizens or bodies exercise it at their peril. When they used It In Italy and Germany, to deprive communists of their rights, or to suppress Communist wrongs by committing the same wrongs, they look the first steps toward setting up the regimes which now deprive them of their own rights. It Is a bad rule, and It works both ways. The law is tlve law. And if the police department of Los Angeles disregards it, and is allowed to get away with it, then what is to prevent any other department of the state, or any j other group of citizens, doing condition, makes direct and illegal action APPEAR TO THEM desirable. And this, carried to its logical conclusion, ends gov ernment by law, while government by force, on one hand, and mob rule on the other, steps inl PVEN moro serious than the legal aspects of the situation are the practical results of it, as far as Oregon and other states on the California border arc concerned. A large proportion of these vagrants are professional wan derers, a permanent part of the migratory population of this country. They are not, by and large, professional criminals. They give the police little or no trouble, as long as they arc allowed to flop for the night, get a plate of beans, and move on. When winter comes and it's impossible to lead their outdoor life in the north, they naturally move toward the south in a more or less steady stream. KTOW what is going to happen when this stream toward the south is dammed up at the California line, and turned back into Oregon f Southern Oregon has no funds to take care of them. We find it difficult enough to tako care of our own. So there will eventually he score?, probably hundreds of itinerants of one sort and another thrown back on the county with no place to go, nothing to eat, and these migratory men, harmless enough when allowed to keep on the wing, if denied that right, will of course soon become dangerous. Crime will inevitably result petty at first, purse snatching, chicken stealing and the like, later crimes of a more serious nature and the situation might well become so serious that the local and stale police would bo powerless to cope with it. IN our opinion Oregon should join with Nevada, Arizona and other states along the California border, and demand of Uovminr Merriman that this illegal procedure by Los Angeles be stopped ami stopped at once. If this action should bring no results, then the federal courts should be appealed to, to stop what is nothing short of high handed lawlessness on the part of southern California.

(AP) Ad ministration lenders concentrated all vhclr energies today toward pushing the soli conservation subnldy Dill through congress next week as the rpearhead of a drive toward adjourn ment by May 1. In the face of an amendment rush and an assertion by Senator King (D.. Utah) that the AAA replacement measure was not a farm bill but a proposal to "carry out the ideas of Tug well and Wallace," Chairman Smith (D., S. C.) of the agriculture committee an Id ho had plenty of votes to block an opposition recom mittal move. Smith added that the legislation would be sent to the house by Wed nesday at the latest. House farm lenders cleared the way for consider ation by Thursday, apparently re- gnrdlesa of whether the senate actt. before that. President Roosevelt again went over the question of taxes to finance the new farm program, this time with Secretary Morgenthau and Daniel W. Bell, acting budget director.

The Important objection, X think, la the vitamin deficiency to which the use of these refined cereal products leads.

Also, no matter what method of heating la employed, from twenty to thirty gallons of water should le evaporated In the house dally. Open fire or radiant heaters (electric or gaa or other fuel burning) adds to comfort because radiant heat warms bodies or objects more and the air less.

AND AIDES DRAFT TAX BILL; INFLATION FADES WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. (AP) President Roosevelt and his fiscal advisors today canvassed the back ground for an administration tax bill at a closed-door conference which coincided with the reported collapse of one wing of the congres sional Inflation drive. After a poll of the house. Repre sentative Boland, the Democratic whip, reported that only 94 of the 317 house Democrats had signified themselves definitely in favor of the $3,000,000,000 Fraeler-Lemke bill, de signed to refinance farm debt with new currency. Both Boland and Speaker Byrns asserted the measure would be "slaughtered" If It came o a vote. A late afternoon White House con ference, attended by Secretary Mor genthau and Daniel Bell, the acting director, revived prevloua reports that the Roosevelt tax plan might be sent to the capltol next week.

Up our notch of the creek we had a hlll-bllly razor back term for procrastination, purists have never Im proved upon. I refer to "putter ing." That's the slant today. Just lazing along, snagging, drift ing and bobbin,; from thought to thought, arriving nowhere. It gives chance to wonder why there are four letter openers on my desk. I never use them.

I liked the description In a pane gyric Frank Case wrote to Ash ton Stevens for his colored pastry cook, who recently went where all good cooks go. He waa speaking of her rice pudding. It could not be hurled across the room like so many such, without breaking up, he testified. Harry Carr, the late Los Angeles col umnist, chronicled he had yet to hear a downright filthy story in a news room. That's my experience. Rowdy and ribald, yes. But never filth. The all-time model for cartoon simplicity remains the handiwork of John T. McCutcheon. The morning after Pope Leo's death he encircled the globe with a band of crepe. I notice Charlie Towne recently tried to prove the gas light days formed a terrible period. In a later article he heard a barber shop quartet singing "Roses Bring Dreams of You" and had a good cry. Take 'em off Charlie you're Just a sllphorn player at heart after all! The achievements of the late Harry B. Smith astounds. Hla obituaries report he authored 6000 songs. I know a book publisher who haa been going to the same barber In 43d street six years. At the conclusion of every shave the barber Inquires: "A little powder?" The answer has always been In the negative. The query naturally became unbearable but the barber was an excellent shaver. The other day. however, after a tough day at the office the strain was too much. Something snapped when the question popped. "No" fhrieked the customer, yanking off his covering. And at the door turned in red-faced fury to repeat: "No!" Then added: "And damn your soul!" In a wide-eyed Interlude last night I got to thinking what would be the most embarrassing thing that could happen to a public Idol. And this one I liked best: For Rudy Vallee to develop a face rash at one of those yeast broadcasts. One of my elderly southern correspondents always signs his letters: "Good henlth and good grit, air I" A lady in Baltimore sends a line from my diary seven years ago: "A pair new to me there. Burns and Allen, as clever as ever I saw." Pearl Buck Is the latest to isolate herself from the "annoying crowd." Ah, me! I could not live without it! That slip of someone calling Jesse Jones. Jesse James In Washington In a public speech was awkward. But Jones wns gracious. I was born In Clinton county, next to Clay county, where the James boys held forth. Frank James used to stop at my father's notel. My father enjoyed re counting a visit a friend of his. a theatrical advance agent, made to a sort of museum place at Liberty. Mo. There were on display a number of old objects connected with the James boys career. The advance agent handed his card to the doorkeeper and was bowed In with a flourish and a "We always recognize the pro fession."

At east that's about the only con clusion one can draw from the fact that Los Angeles policemen are to be scattered all along these borders to stop people from coming into Los Angelea. BIO news. Is It? Boy! Consider this: After twenty yeara of ballyhoo, the like of which was never seen on land or sea before, to the general ef fect that those who die and go to heaven Instead of moving to Los An .gclea are poor, miserable unfortu nates, here cornea the city of the an gels and actually sends out policemen to STOP folks from coming! Compared to that, a man biting a dog wouldn't be news at all. Why. from now on, a HUNDRED men bit ing a hundred dogs won't even cause alert city editors to prick up their ears! 117HAT a change, OH WHAT a " change, has come about In this world of oursespecially thla western world I n the past, when we took a notion to head for Los Angelea, we were quite sure that when we arrived they'd call out the band. Now, In stead, they call out the police to meet us at the borders and pat us on the pocket to ace whether we've got a dollar there. If we haven't, BACK we must go. - N that dear, dead past, when the siren call of sunny Southern Cali fornia was coming, sweet and luring, down every wind that blew, starting a fever In every vein, we were given to understand that It wasn't our money they wanted. Perish the thought. It was only the sweet comfort of our presence they yearned for. They Just wanted us to come where life la better, so that we might be happier than we'd been In the past. Now they sing this song: "If you ain't got no money, you needn't come around. Have ALL the sweetness and light gone out of the world? DOOR Los Angeles! For years and years ahe shouted from the housetops that if people would only come to her their trou bles would be ended, and she took It aa a personal affront that out of 120 million people. In these more of less United States only a paltry million or so could be persuaded to cut loose and take the plunge Into paradise. There were times when It almost seemed to her that her honeyed words were being doubted.
