We are for Senator McNary 100. But Senator McNary is a Republican. Yes, but we would be for him if be were an "Klphocrat." Senator McNary is too valuable a man at Washington, re gardless of the political label of the administration, not to return by a large majority. Oregon needs him. His defeat would be calamity. If Senator McNary were of the Old Guard 0. 0. P. type we might feel differently about it. But we know the man and know the intelligence and liberality of his political principles. No Republican senator in the upper house, hag given Presi dent Roosevelt more enthusiastic and loyal support than the senior senator from Oregon. He ban not agreed with the presi dent on all matters, of course, but in the main he hag been both friendly and helpful. If re-elected we know he would be so again. Instead of being inconsistent, this is tho exact reverse. Every consideration of sound public principle above partisanship calls, in the judgment of this news paper, for the re-election of Charley McNary. A Landon Supporter Speaks A S before emphasized, when, A Koosevelt supporter says something nice about V, D. R., that is taken for granted. When a Landon supporter says something nice about Landon, THAT is taken for granted. But when a Landon supporter says something nice about Roosevelt and his policies, then that is news and deserves careful attention or visa versa. This matter of increasing the debt and President Hoosevelts failuro to balance the budget, bo bitterly attacked by Al Smith and other auti-loo(sevelt leaders, was treated by Dorothy Thompson the other day. Mrs. Thompson is the New York Herald Tribune's star political Whether one agrees or disagrees, with her opinions and this paper often doesn't no fair minded person can nuestion her intelligence, sincerity, fairness, and the convincing lucidity or her style. Here is what Mrs. Thompson has to say on the subject: When President Roosovtlt came out, m he did on ThurtKUy, and defended the unbalanced budget of the laat three and a half years, he acknowledged the repudiation of bit campaign promise of 1033. That repudiation ha been, and will continue to be, thrown in his teeth by the opposition. Al Smith did It again the other night. In 1033, without question, Mr. Roosevelt waa for "economy." In 1088 he Justifies departure from hie program by result, and doea not attempt to deny the charge, except to say that he haa clung to the "spirit" of the platform. But a promise to balance the budget la a promise to balance the budgot. That promlso waa either disingenuously made in 1033, . or tho president, in 1033, chsnged his mind. There is some evidence that the promise was given In good faith and that tho president did change his mind, or had it changed for him. Upon taking office his immediate action was to pass the Economy Act end start cutting normal governmental expenditures. It seemed to many of us, at the moment, that this was an appalling thing to do. By it the government directly increased the numbor of the unemployed and gave further impetus to the vicious deflationary proceas. But almost Immediately thla policy was reversed and the government em barked upon the spending program, which haa been going on ever since. The result of that policy was to ohecH tho downward tendency and eventually to turn It upward. By pumping a large proportion of the government expenditures Into the lower level of incomes, through relief subsidies and farm aid, It brought about immediate revival in consumer goods; and other mea sures, some of them hnMtly concolvwl and certainly less scien tific than they might have been, did reault in checking the rapid price decline; and the devaluation of the dollar, and refinancing measures designed by the government, helped to bring the purchasing power of the dollar back to approximately normal level, and to readjust debta to something like the debtors' capacity to pay them, thus arresting the debacle. When the opposition says that President Roosevelt did not do what he promised to do, It ta stating an Incontrovertible fact, but the evidence Is also very strong that had be kept his promise it would have been a cataatrophe for the country The theory which haa been several times expressed by the opposition In this campaign, that the national budget la like a domestic household budget, that the government, that la to say, must live annually within its Income, Is certainly open to question. Of course the government must llvo within Its income, but there are periods when It Is far more necessary to increaeo the sources of that Income than It Is to balance books. The govern-' ment'a position la not that of the small householder on a fixed bud got. It Is rather that of a very great business. And great businesses do not attempt to balance their budgets annually, but to balance them over the business cycle which Includes boom and depression. In times of prosperity they retire their debts and build up reserves. In times of depression they use tip their reserves, borrow money to keep the plant going and very often unhnlance the books. Furthermore, government has the power by Its fiscal policy either to augment or to decrease the volume of credit. Where credit is froien. as It was in 1033, the quickest way for govern ment to unfreeze It Is to increase Its basis of borrowing. This Is precisely what the Hoosevelt administration did. When the opposition attacks the theory of government spending in time of depression. It stands. It seems to me, on very weak ground. And It Is positively misleading to point to other countries and any that America stands far down the list among nHtlona which have recovered. Tor nowhere has recovery been brought about, except by measures very similar to those taken bv President Roosevelt devaluation, debt adjustment, aid to the lower strata of income receivers, and increase by government policy of the amount of bank credit in circulation. There Is certainly some relationship between the fact that the countx Irs which have remained to date In a stats of deflation, and, therefore, depression, are those which have stuck to gold and which are now, universally, leaving it. And that those countries which have escaped the most serious economic upsets are those where social insurances and a generous relief program have kept even the lowest economic groups of the population consumlnvt- Editorial Commeni WIIEX IS Hl'MBl'OT Don't worry snout the Lllrsry Dl- jrt elyiion poll.

An Infant creates and m u dissipate relatively more heat than an adult does, and hence requires less external warmth for com-, fort. The ideal hot weather clothing for a baby la a dldy or less. The silliest practice Imagin able Is buying and putting on shoes before a baby ie old enough to walk. Socks or stockings when it la cold, yes, but don't be absurd. Night clothing: After the dally bath with luke warm water and plain toilet soap the bath should be given not later than 6:00 p. m., dry the baby, rub his back a little with plain talcum while he plays and stretches, put on clean soft warm dry napkin and a long nighty and tuck him into bed for the night. Never let the baby sleep in shirt or stockings. Belly band; This should be dis carded as soon as the navel Is healed and no longer requires a dressing usually within two weoks after birth. To keep any sort of band or binder on the baby after thla Is simply to mske the Infant peevish and uncomfortable, especially In warm weather. Exposure: Remember that babies create and must get rid of rela tively more heat than do adults. Whenever you are In doubt about "exposure," don't Judge by your own notions, but feel of the baby's feet and hands) IX they are warm you may be sure the baby Is okay Or If the baby la obviously happy and enjoying the outing, repress your quaint obsessions for the moment and give the baby a break. When In doubt whether to put on this or thst extra clothing, give the baby the benefit of the doubt leave It off. Wiseacre neighbors and old-fashioned relatives win see to It that you do not let the baby or child suf fer from "exposure." Indeed It takes considerable strength of character as well as sound sense to slve your chil dren the beuefits of fresb air and sunshine, even today. On one pretext or another some nosy neighbor is cer tain to feel perturbed about It. The outcome Is a question of how dumb your neighbor thlnka you are. In summer, spring or autumn It is easy to t the baby In the habit of taking a forenoon and afternoon nao out of doors, shielded from strong wind, insects, animals and people. qaMclnfyre NEW YORK, Oct. 13.

CABBLL, chairman of Oregon's highway commission. addressing the annual meeting of the Shssta-Cascade Wonderland associa tion the other night, asserted that if gasoline tax money ts diverted away from highway purposes it will be a disaster to Oregon's state highway program. THIS writer would like to add that It wtU also be a fraud. The gasoline tax U levied upon users of the highways approximately in proportion, as Mr. Cabell pointed out, to their USE of the highways. That Is to say. If you drive a great deal you pay a lot of gas tax; If you drive only a little you piy only a lit tle tax and If you do no driving you pay NO tax. The money so raised ts used t- build state roads. No faiier system of taxation has ever been devised, and because Its fairness la generally recog nized there Is little complaint against It, But if gasoline tax money is divert ed to purposes other Chan highway construction and maintenance, there WILL be complaint. 0B REGON wants and needs roads, and as long as ALL the money ts used to build and maintain roads present heavy gasoline taxes are paid cheerfully. But It the gasoline tax Is raided and used for otlw purposes, it will no longer be paid cheerfully and In time protests against it will result In Its repeal. We might as well face that fact NOW. And If tha gaaoune tax Is re pealed, or sharply reduced. Oregon's highway program wUl begin to die from the roots up. INCIDElALLY."MrT Cabell, speak ing to a mixed audience of South ern Oregonlana and Northern CaU fornlans, made a fine impression. He knew his subject thoroughly and handled It with confidence. What be had to say was of Interest primarily to Oregonlana, but the Calt- fornlans among his hearers listened with close attention, and when he finished there were nods of approval all over the room. Good common sense and clear reasoning know no state lines. Henry Cabell is a worthy addition to the long line of able chairmen of the Oregon state highway commission Communications Illusive Hope To the Editor: If you will allow me once more to enter your Temple of Knowledge and cast a fagot on tts altar, I will thank you for your courtesy. I have had an experience. Last night 1 went with a friend to a Townsend meeting I waa one black sheep in a consid erable flock which waa watting eager ly to be fed, but which are destined to be shorn Instead. I sat where I could see quite well the entire company, and I tried to "sire it up." I am assured thst fully two-thirds of the number were past. or very near, the age which means 200 per month. I question if more than five persons were less thsn 60 yeara of age. Is this significant? The plan cannot succeed unless those who are to do the work to sup port us old codgers In Idleness will put their shoulders to the wheel." Hsvent our young men caught the gleam of "circulating money' and been lured by it? Perhaps they have better Judgment than we had been led to think. God grant that It Is so Assuming thst our population is approximately 130.000.000, and that 8,000,000 of us are 60 years qf age or above. That, gives eight to 120, or one in IS. Now let us suppose that 130 people of all apes are put onto an island, like Robinson Crusoe, with no contact with the rest of the world Their natural resources are good, and if they ALL WORK, they can live very meagerly. Now, will anyone dare to bur gest that If all who are above GO years of age will STOP WORKING they csn havj more comfort? ls there any community of 120 families tn Oregon who are ready RIO HT NOW. without waiting for the doc tor's medicine for our admitted Ills, to VOLUNTARILY give to eight of those families 9400 a month on the condition that they become loafers the rest tt tnelr daya? Let some com munlty try tt on a small scaje, and IF IT WORKS, we will all vote for It, to be tried on a national scale, Recently our home was visited by a wry successful farmer and his wife who has all her life been an excellent school tescber. THEY WERE RED HOT FOR THE TOWNSEND PLAN What does It sil mean? It means that we are living now under the del 1 1 sion that t he GOV E RN M E NT HAS SOME MAGIC POWER OF PRO IHTCINO WEALTH WITH OCT LA BOR. In my Judgment the worst charge which can be brought against our present administration Is that it has fostered thst belief, wherei Ocd has ssid: In the sweet of thy fsce thou thalt est bread. If any one will read the story of "The Missis sippi Bubble" snd of a thousand similar schemes, all of which are at tempts to defeat God's law of labor, and can then see that our gree' crash of '29 came as the consequence of the same effort to defy Gods law. he wtU hesitate before tryina one more plan based on the same foolisn phloeopiiy. "in the sweat of thy face;" out we dn"t want to sweat. We want life to re one "Midsummer NUht Dream." If w could have it. it would be s curse. Our "id! n.-h" are a worse cur? to socierj thsn are our hoboes, God. In mercy to us, says, sweat. Those of us who saw the picture of Shakespeare's Midsum mer Night's Dream will possibly re member the words of Puck: "What fools these mortals be." For many yeara now, even from a multitude of our pulpits, as elsewhere, has come t.h siren call. "Come, areara wi me:" but God has ssid, "Sweat." What would Puck say if he were here now? Would tt be: -What blanket? blank fools these mortals be?" WM. M. CARLE. Lake Creek, Oct. B. Grateful to Pr. Odell To the Editor: We, the patients at the Eastern Ore. Ron stato tuberculosis hospital, wit nessed an occurrence a few weeks ago that fills our hearts with gratitude for our superintendent and doctor. A patient at this hospital began to have a series of recurrent lung Hem orrhages which could not be control!' ed bv ordinary methods. Artificial nneurno thorax, which is a process of collapsing the lung with air In order that tt may heal, had been tried pre vious to these hemorrhages but It could not be sdmlnlstcred due to permanent adhesions. At this time tt waa decided to build up the general condition of the patient so that thorocoplastlo operation could be per formed In October. The point that makes this case dlf. ferent from Just another operation Is this Dr. J. M. Odell was on a vaca tion, a good way from the hospital. An emergency operation, resecting some ribs, would probably control the hemorrhage and save the patient's Ufa but as I have said before, the doctors who perform this operation were away on their vacation and no time could be wasted. Dr. Odell was reached by long distance and Inform ed of the case. He Immediately de cided to return and with Dr. Thomp son Coberth, who Is the associate sur geon at this hospital, drove through the night and operated at 6 o'clock that morning. Now the patient is doing fine. A vacation was cut short and a life was saved. It is truly wonderful that we cava a doctor with an undivided Interest In his patients In our stata hospital. BILL CHRYSLER. Eastern Oregon 8'at tuberculosis hospital. The Dalles, Ore. Oct. 9th. (Continued from Page One 1 (268 is the majority needed to win They discount the Digest vote on the ground that It did not reach lower strata of voters. A confidential poll of Washington politest Alters during the past few days showed somewhat similar expec tations, but was not conclusive Most of those polled were Roosevel sup porters. Some of the Republican supporters failed to poln tn. Conse quently the poll averaged out to the astounding census of more than 400 electoral votes for Roosevelt. Apparently everyone knows what tho outcome will be, but few agree. Top trade unionists are generally characterizing the current talk about a Lewis-Green peace as nonsense. Their inside line on the situation is that the party of the first part does not wont peace. Mister John L. Lewis they say. Is desirous ef having i showdown and believes he can win eventually. What started the peace rumors was some pacifying talk from David Du blnsky, the garmenteer ally of Lewis The explanation behind that is suppos ed to be that Dubinsky was talking mainly for the purpose of getting a certain union, with which he had been dickering into the Lewis C. Z. O. He wanted to show that C. I. O. is not a wrecking crew. As soon as Mr. Lewis heard about It, he called a press conference end passed around word there would be no pea co except on his own terms, which simply means there will prob ably be no peace. The buslnejs of prophecying has been almost as dangerous during the last four years as in the Hoover era Books have been written about tha bad guesses of Industrial giants of the booster decade, 1920-'30, out no one has mentioned the sour predic tions of some of the congressional politest giants in recent years and months. Noteworthy was the one that the scrapping of the NRA would caust Industrial chaos, whereas employment has risen.
