Mr. Hoover's Comeback
FAR be it from us to begrudge ex-President Hoover the joys
of bis recent political resurrection.
He bad a tough time as President, and a tougher time dur
ing the subsequent campaign. He was beaten let us see, by
an electoral vote of 472 to 59, and the present occupant of the
White House was cbiefly responsible for it. .
We can't blame Mr. Hoover for feeling a trifle sore at the
man, and the political fate, that subjected him to such a devas
tating humiliation, and his desire to get back at the forces,
personal and political, that "done him in" is a perfectly natural
one.
He laughs best who laughs Inst. And the time for the former
leader of the Republican party to laugh has come. That is what
he is doing. May Robson's rejuvenation of Aunt Mary has
nothing on hira.
And it is pleasant as well as inspiriting to see, the once
dour and dejected "sage of Palo Alto," now putting on with
reverse English, a pretty good imitation of the role once so
popular in Franklin D. Roosevelt's felcitious phraseology, the
"HAPPT WARRIOR."
FOR no one denies Mr. Hoover is enjoying himself. No one
denies he is in a fighting mood. His cheeks are flushed with
the glow of vitality and health, he walks abroad with a springy
youthful step; and when after dining well, he advances to the
microphone, it is with fire in his eye, Herbert is himself again !
Yes, the spectacle of the Hoover "come back" is a cheering
one. No one not blinded by narrow partisanship', would deny
the worst-beaten, and most unpopular President of recent times,
had it coming to him. Turn about is fair playj and justice is
no less justice, if it has a poetio tinge. If, as President, Herbert
Hoover got less than his just desserts, what cause to complain,
if as a private citizen and a potential candidate for the White
HoiiRe again he should get MORK. That would only balance
the scales. Moreover there is precedent for it. Grover Cleveland
had his second blooming.
'Tear and
THUS far so good. And when our 31st President, takes ad
vantage of a Lincoln Day banquet, to lambast the Roose
velt administration ami the New Deal, hip aud thigh; we have,
in spite of this paper's strong. sympathies with both, no par
ticular complaint to register.
Moreover, we can agree with some things be says and not
deny the validity of others. We approve of the elimination of
personalities in this campaign, the concentration upon issues;
we don't deny the present financial situation of the country is
serious, that many features of the New Deal have been rendered
ineffective by judicial decision, nor that there is too much un
employment and .Tim Farley's political methods are frequently
open to criticism.
BUT,
We do believe when former President Hoover makes the
theme song of such a speech "confusion and fear," when
throughout his remarks he returns and returns to this theme
and closes on it, he s not only guilty of . rather poor sportsman
ship, but what is more important (to his party at least), be is
guilty of a serious political blunder.
True, people have short memories. But not so short that
they have forgotten the condition of "confusion and fear"
which existed, when after struggling unsuccessfully to turn
back the destructive tide of the depression for nearly three
years, President Hoover retired from the White House and the
man he now holds up as a failure, took his place.
And what is more inevitable than, with Hoover speaking,
this comparison should be madet "CONFUSION AND FEAR!"
With banks falling like autumn leaves, with thousands of peo
ple losing their all; with practically every business in the coun
try operating in the red, and scores already forced to the wall;
with confusion und fear so extreme that a former President
of the Bank of England landing in New Tork, said, the cap
italist system has pone I Imagine the skipper of tho ship of
state at that period in our history, raising the note of confusion
aud fear, to bring about the defeat of the man whom the
American people by an overwhelming vote, chose to succeed
him I
GRANTING it has taken billions to dispel that fear, and
more billions to bring a semblance of industrial and social
order out of that confusion; how can ANYONE, fairly and
accurately, compare the conditions existing in this country to
day, and the conditions at the close of the Hoover administra
tion, and not admit that RELATIVELY spesking, there is today
no fear and confusion EXISTING.
True, some of the Big Business men are alarmed. So are
some of the big bankers and G. 0. P. politicians. They see all
sorts of things ahead, from printing press money to the hoist
iug of Al Smith's red flag over the White House. But how
about the others, the rank and file, the people of this country
AS A WHOLE!"
And we don't mean, in any "CLASS" sense. We mean ALL
classes, except these few thin skinned big boys, best repre
sented by the well upholstered minions of the Liberty League,
and their ilk.
How about the workers and the farmers; how about the
artisans and the clerks, the doctors and the lawyers; yes, and
how about the capitalists, not on Wall Street, but here, there
and everywhere, bankers, business men and what have you,
for most of us are capitalists in one way or another.
Are they scared to death and paralyzed with aUrru, becane
of the sorry pass to which Roosevelt and the New Deal have
brought them! Are they!
Ask thoin. Go out on the street and buttonhole the first
man or woman you see, and ask him or her if they are
as fearful and confused now as they were iu March, and
whether or not they would like to go back to that time!
And yet, as ion;: as former President Hoover leads the
attack upon President Roosevelt that will be a natural ques
tion, an inevitable question, and a perfectly proper one.
No, if the Ucpul'lican party must raise the cry of "con
fusion and fear," in an effort to beat Roosevelt, let them at
least have the good sense to put those word in the mouth ol
someone OTHER than the President who cave this country the
worst siege of that ailmeut iu its history I

with this shy, utmost inarticulate fel

This season he has produced the
two most significant plays, Jane Aus

stamped addressed envelope and ask
for monograph on pruritus. Don't
tell me you still brush your teeth
too you may brush teeth, but whose
are they?
Shots
Family doctor cured me of tuber
culosis. Warns me about colds, and
when I catch cold I see him right

vaccine at intervals of three days.
He says this will last for months.
He charges $3 a shot. I have a syringe
and I would give It to myself if . . .

Answer Not safely. Anyway, I have
no notion what the doctor, gives
you.
Neurosis
Can a chronic appendix cause a
neurosis? (J. W.)
Answer There Is no such condi

Comment
on the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE Shasta -Cascade Wonderland
association, including nine coun
ties In Northern California and three
in Southern Oregon, has now been In
active existence about four years. Its
purpose Is promotion of tourist traffic
In this area, which includes soma of
the finest outdoor country In Amer
ica. : After four years of vigorous and In
telligently directed effort, this ques
tion arises:
Has It paid?
HHHESE four yearshave been depres-
slon years, with people generally
seeking in every way possible to cut
down expenditures in order to keep
outgo within the limits of shrinking
incomes.
Yet, in every year of the four, more
automobiles have entered the Won
derland area than entered It the year
before, and in 1935, with the depres
sion beginning to lighten EIGHTY
THOUSAND more came than in 1934.
LAST year (1935) 16 auto camps re
ported to Tom Stanley, secretary
of the Wonderland association, on
the state of their business.
Of the 10, 10 reported an average
gain of 18.4 per cent. Four reported
their business the same as the pre
ceding year, and two reported a de
crease. The 16 spent an average of 3 per
cent of their gross Income for adver
tising. FORTY-FOUR garages reported to
Mr. Stanley, and of the 44 a total
of 36 reported an average Increase In
business of 19.7 per cent over the
year before. Seven reported business
the same as tha preceding year, and
one reported a 10 per cent decrease.
EVERY ONE of the 44 bought new
equipment In 1935. ' .
OF 24 hotels in the Wonderland
area reporting to Mr. Stanley, 30
showed an average Increase of 20 .8
per cent In their business the year
before. Four reported business the ,
same. !
These 24 hotels spent an average
of 3.8 per cent of gross Income for
advertising.
TWENTY-EIGHT resorts reported to
headquarters of the association,
and of the 28 an average increase in
business of 35 per cent was reported
by 20. Seven Indicated business was
about , the same as the year before,
and one reported a decrease of 3 per
cent.
IN THESE four y ara, the Shasta -Cascade
Wonderland association
has carried the name of this area
far and wide over the country, bring
ing It to the attention of thousands
who never heard of It before which
is an achievement of Importance.
But the final proof of the pudding
Is In the eating thereof, and the final
proof of the value of any advertising
campaign Is the amount of business
It bringsfor bringing business Is
advertising's Job.
These figures indicate pretty clearly
that advertising the Shasta -Cascade
Wonderland has paid.
ONE more set of figures:
A total of 112 concerns affected
by tourist business have reported to
the assocttlon, and of these 90 show
ed an Increase In business In 1935
and as a res tilt of this Increase 40 of
them plan to make Improvements tn
1936 totaling 9280.000.
These concerns represent about 30
per cent of the total in the Wonder
land, and If their percentage holds
good throughout the total approxi
mately $1,000,000 will be spent in Im
provements this year.

Just a political effort to establish a
better campaign fro n ft.
The change on the Inside has
come, they say. within the past week.
What wrought It Is clear. The bad
reaction to f Arm and bonus taxes en
coursired an economizing line of
thought, but the growth of the Lan
don campaign must not be and has
not been overlooked Oownor Lan
don'a thrift record has struck a pop
ular chord.
Nobody's word on the extent of the
curtailment will be worth much, how
er?r. until the savings are laid down
officially on the dotted line.

Pals on Capitol Hill say ha let the

contents. The department made no
effort to tone him down. Appar
ently It shares some of the sena
torial displeasure at certain unmen
tloned Japanese propaganda circu
lated recently In thia country by an
able Japanese spokesman. To quiet
this gentleman was one of the hid
den purposes of the speech.
Mr. Hoover'a frsnk court testimony
about the necessity of Investors
hedging against Inflation caused some
uneasy moments among governmental
financing authorities. But only a
few.
For the present their Inner situa
tion is encouraging: the Inflationists
In congress have been deflated. The
outward movement of gold recently
threw a scare into the Frazler-Lem-keyltes
from which they are not due
to recover before congress adjourns.
Tins and the president's promitw
of spending curtailments ha-e caused
a. much better feeling all around.
Treasury Secretary Morgenfahau did
considerable casting about for a con
servative under-sec re tary of treasur7.
but found few eager applicants for

hardly one of the softer government
positions.
The Black committee has run into
constitutional trouble trying to col
lect answers to questionnaires from
various business corporations. Pri
vate attorneys have advised several
corporations to resist, under the
fourth amendment. There will be i
peck of trouble about this when the
committee starts hearings.
Congressmen do not remember It
but they passed a law In 1931 pre
venting government officials from
recommending new taxes. The stat
ute specifically states that "no rec
ommendations as to how the revenue
needs of the government should be
met shall be submitted to congress
by any officer or employe of any de
partment, unless at the request of

several barba at the Roosevelt admin
istration. "I regard Hoover as the best quali
fied man for the presidency thlb
country has ever had.',' Mr. Ingalls
said. 'To be sure, the Democrats
blame Hoover for the depression but
we all know the depression was caus
ed by the war the Democrats kept us
out of."
With Incisive carcasm, Mr. Ingalls
said : "The Democratic party may
have been founded by Thomas Jef
ferson but It has been dumfounded
by President Roosevelt."
"There are two classes of people In
the country today," Mr. Ingalls con
tinued. "The Indigent and the indig
nant. Ths indigent are on relief and
the indignant are paying for It."
"During the past three years." Mr.
Deuel said, "the government has no!,
only consumed the entire revenue de
rived from our excessively high taxes,
but has in addition thereto Increased
our national debt by some 15 blllir
of dollars. Our national expendltu.
have been such that we must expect
high taxes fot many years to come:
we will have to pay dearly for our
spree."
"We should, therefore. Immediately
adopt ft policy of a balanced budget
and a retrenchment of national ex
penditures." Mr. Deuel continued. W
canot go on spending more than wo
take in. We must realize that we can
not spend our way back to recovery
No nation has ever dons this; no na
tion ever win."
The meeting was broupht to a close
by the group singing of "America."

Mall Tribune Policy Commended,
I cannot refrain from writing to
you to congratulate you on your
editorial of January 10, "It Is Laws
and Men." One of your readers sent
me the clipping and I was very glad
to have It brought to my attention.
It seems to me entirely true that
these decisions are sometimes very
largely a question of temperament
which leads to certain interpreta
tions of the law.
I was also much gratified with
your attitude on the primaries, and
know that it must have been helpful
in securing the good vote against
the measure. I was very much aur
prised to find so little newspaper
opposition to It, and that the news
papers did not analyze the bill and
understand its Importance from ft
standpoint of party control by small
groups and party domination of the
political life of the state by prac
tically ruling out Independent can
didates. I waa very much Interested
in this messure. It would have been
highly advantageous to me, prob
ably, to have had the September pri
maries this year, but I could not
bring myself to support auch a bill
and I am thankful that the people
of Oregon, through some combina
tion of circumstance, saw fit to
vote 1J down.

Ye Poet's Cornei
Rain In Southern Oregon
The mist hangs over the valley.
The sky Is hazy and bluired.
No animal Is seen.
And nowhere files a bird.
Tis raining In the valley,
"Tls snowing In the hills.
Heavy are the trees.
And faster flows the rills.
The gloomy sky does frown,
He knows not any sun.
All warmth has vanished from us,
Good weather here is done.
