We re For McNary
TlE liuvo been asked bow
" Foolish nuestion.
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

SPARE THE BABY SWADDLING AND CODDLINO
Young babies do not stand great
heat as well as older children or
adults do. 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.

Comment
of the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS
I f ENRY J. 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

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.

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. Equally spoiled is the one
that voiding of the Guffcy coal bill
would ruin the coal industry. Coal
production Is now t peak, warnings
of price increases have been made
and a shortage of cars is made by
some of the new predicters.
Chairman Nye of the munitions
committee, who gave out the Elliott
Roosevelt-Fotker data, still la neutral
In the presidential election fight. This
apparently leaves only two out of the
U5.ooo.000 persons In thla country ss
neutrals.
Incidentally. Nye dJd not give out
all the data he had. He is sitting on '
several eihibtt. These are comoara
tlwly unimportant.
Crturlam leveled against ban by
Senator Clara of Missouri for jiving
out anything Is a continuation of the
om acrap Nye had with the Demo
crsts. You m.y recsU that re ques
tloned the acts of Wcodrow Wilson
snd thereby caused the senate to shut
off his fund and conclude his Inves
tigation.
