There are eight measures to be voted upon this year, some of them, as usual, seeking to amend the state constitution, and thus if passed, alter our basic form of government. , . . . Needless to say these pamphlets should be carefully read and stjidied, between now and the time to vote. But unless -this year proves to be an exception, just before election day, there will be a last minute rush to this office, by those who haven't even opened the pamphlet, for advice as to how they should vote on this measure or that. Of course this paper is always glad to give advice. And before election day we will garding all state candidates and past. - But we think it would be much better, if our readers would open the voters pamphlet, carefully read it, and decide for themselves. TPirERE was a time, when the type of direct legislation, repre- sented by the initiative and referendum, irritated this col umn very much. We believed many of the measures too involved and complicated, for the average voter, to 'understand, and could discern in such a practice the undermining, if not the eventual destruction, of representative government. This year it is practically impossible for us to recapture that point of view So much has happened, in this country and the world, during the past few years ! With Democracy crumbling to destruction, practically every where, but in -the English speaking world; the survival and perpetuation of all truly democratic processes, appears to us of greater political importance, than anything else. And this system, known as the Oregon system, whatever its defects, is the very essence of a pure and free democracy. Democracy is the rule of the people and in the popular referen dum, the people rule, and no one else. True the people may make mistakes, but such mistakes are their own, and when experience reveals them, they can readily be corrected. We feel sure anyone, who has studied the political situation abroad, has seen the destruction of free speech, free, press, free assembly, all personal liberty and popular rights, as in Russia, Italy, Germany and now in Spain, will share this view, when anyone feels disposed to criticize the free democracy, we enjoy here at home. '' Instead of criticizing what we have we should get down on .our marrow bones, every now and' then, and thank the Lord for having it. IN fact as fiir as this paper is fm Alii nlpfinav ntirtnn. C .... u... ,.,.,,, oufl'oik UL 1 lUOIUCIIt IIUUOCVVH UilU Ilia BU- ministration, lies in our conviction, that his program is essential, to the preservation of the democracy we enjoy. Instead of his being an enemy of democracy, he is its greatest protector and friend. For whether we like it, or don't like it, we are living in a new age. Unleashed natural forces are at tacking democracy on all sides. And the only way to' preserve democracy is to improve it, to bring it up to date, so that it can withstand the forces of destruction, which throughout the world are assailing it. President Roosevelt has the wisdom and the vision to see this. His opponents either won't or can't. It is really the age old struggle, between those with vision, and those who lack it and as the Good Book says, where there is NONE "tlio people perish." Where Is Charlie Taft? have been looking over some old clippings. One of of them struck the editorial eye, as such convincing refu tation of moBt of the loading arguments, now advanced by the Lantlon cheering section, that it is printed herewith: "I am In sympathy with most of the New Deal alms. I like tha Roosevelt tariff policies; th. securities and atock exchange regulations; bank deposit Insurance; handling of strikes and championship of labor. I approve publlo works, regulation of public utilities (Including government 'yardsticks'), easy farm and home credit end a more equitable distribution of the na tlon'a wealth. I am strong for social security I scoff at the Idea of . U. a. autocracy or Fascism. To me Al Smith, Msrk Sullivan and tha Republican alarmist, who proclaim the . New Deal's march toward dictatorship are almply shadow boxing with political phantasmagoria of their own making. Aa for Franklin Roosevelt'a broken platform promisee of 103 any politician who malntalna complete conslstncy 'aaaumea hla own Infallabillty and will destroy hla country U he stays In power.' I was Invited to deliver a Lincoln's birthday address laat wtnter but tt wsa promptly withdrawn after a brief atstement of my political vlewa They wanted aomeona who would damn F. D.

Who said that t One of the Roosevelt brain trusters, or was it Charley llichelson, Joseph Kennedy, Secretary Ickes or some other political supporter and admirer of the president t No, citizens and fellow countrymen. It is the statement (slightly paraphrased), made by Charlie Taft, son of the former Republican President William Howard Taft, who is not only supporting I.andnn, but at, last report about two months ago. was one of his closest confidential advisers. In the present intensity of partisanship, the above will be filed in our political archives, next to the "man bites dog" items ...... "VNE enn only speculate, as to what the predicament of the Republican party would be today, if the issues which Charley Taft discards, were discarded by the G. 0.

FO Perhaps you have noticed at one time or another when coming down with coryza, sore throat, laryngitis. bronchitis, grip, the flu or the m e a e I e a, how much your trou ble as relieved when you got snug In bed Muoh of the lo cal and the gen eral distress of such Illness la due to unbal anced clrcula tlon, too much blood (conges tion) here, too little there. With warmth and relaxation In bed the circulation become equalized and the unpleasant symptoms are re lieved. , . This is one reason why physicians universally advise remaining In bed when you are getting the crl. Shucks, even If X wore the only doc tor In the world who calls It crl, who has a better name for It? Don't answer until you have read the little lesson In the ways of health "Call it Orl." if you find anything In the booklet that shouldn't be there, or If you fall to find anything that should be there, please glvo a friend ly tip about It, for the good of tho service. I am particularly anxious to build up public conscience, by making one aware of the golden rule In hygiene. A correspondent nroDOses the for mation of an antl-crl society to edu cate the public In the prevention of respiratory Infections; says that among my disciples are many who would like to pass along the good word and help make this the "healthiest and most, healthful city." But no, the Idea does not appeal to me. I suppose the atti tude of the public toward respira tory Infections (the crl, aa I would say) Is like that of the pastor wno preached' about sin he was against It. Societies or movement set up to oppose something, organizations of antls, somehow do not have much success. If any such society Is to oe formed I believe It should be one for the universal acceptance of the golden rule of hygiene, in the sim plest worda this Is tho rule that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Unfortun ately, In order to llvo up to .that, rule you hove to call It cil, and few of the big noises In public healtn administration would igree to that seeing I proposed It In the first place. Vet. after all, any one with fair conscience may adopt and follow the golden rule ' of hygiene and pro mulgate It among his friends and Inculcate It In his children. In deed, thousands of square -shooting folk are doing this now. Despite the vague and vacillating attitude of the Comment of the Day s News By Prank Jenkins COMMUNIST Russia demands a blockade of Portugal, by Britain or France, or both, to prevent war supplies from reaching the fascist Spanish rebels, who seem to be win ning. (Russia alleges that war ma terials are being furnished to the Spanish rebels by Germany and Italy). Lord Plymouth, British chnlnnau of the International non-interven tion committee, promptly refusea the Russian demand. Aa a result, war tension Increase. - TKB International non-lntenentlou committee is a sort of Gentle men's arrangement to keep hands off In the Spanish row. The trouble with It Is that the nations represented In It are not gentlemen. Each would cut the throats of all the others at a moment's notice if anything were to be gained by so doing., and every body knows It. That I the way International deal ings are carried on. WHETHER or not RuMla means business, nobody knows. Prob ably time alone will tell. But It la presumed that comtillun 1st Russia fears fascist success In Spain, for that would men addition of Spain to the existing fascist bloc now composed of Italy, German? and Portugal with Austria, apparently, Just Joining the fascist crowd. It la Intimated that Russia isn't any too sure of Prance, which now lean toward the communists. The French, you know, can change their polltcnl leanings overnight. If the fascist crowd geta too strong. communist Russia will fear for her own safety. Fascist Germany would like a silce of Russian territory for expansloa purposes. RUSSIA isn't supposed to be ready .to fight as yet. But It Russia decides that tt Is better to fight now. before her enemies earn; up too much on her, than to wait until she Is better prepared, war might come in Europe. That la why her demand for tin Kde of Portugal has tightened tlx tension. , Brady, M.D. B THE CBI politically subservient public health administrators, thousands of families have found that adoption of the golden rule of hygiene materially de creases the occurrence respiratory infections In the household. It I in the home, and not In the health department office, where the decisive battle against communicable disease must be fought. Mo matter which of the score of more respiratory "Infections the crl (alleged "clld") may prove to be. I repeat that In my Judgment the very best first aid treatment U a hot mus tard foot bath administered In bed. I think it la a good practice for any one whose time la at all valuable to call a nurse who knows her business and ask her to give a hot mustard foot bath, when one la coming down with the illness.

Softened Water Is city water softened by (an arti ficial softener) In any way harmful for drinking? If so, what would you suggest for drinking water, where the water supply is too hard? Two mem bers of family are subject to arthritis. . . .(V. C. L.) Answer No, water so fcoftened is not suitable for drinking. I do not think hard water Is objectionable for drinking unless It has a disagreeable taste. You might try drinking rain or snow water, or bottled water from a mountain spring, or distilled water. Send terl cent coin and ntumped en velope bearing your address, for book- ! let, "Ills Called Rheumatism." ! Angina Pectoris I Please advise what diet jou reoom- mend for sufferers from angina pec toris. I understand your diet consist mainly of protelms. . . . (Mrs. P. N. C ) Answer Perhaps you derived tho Impression from the remark I made to the effect that persons subject to high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis or angina ' pectoris may Include a fair amount of meat or fish or milk or cheese In their diet. There la no rea son for excluding meat, dark or light. On tho other hand I know no reason why one suffering with englna pec toris should confine himself to a diet consisting mainly of proteins. Only one person can Intelligently prescribe the diet for such a patient, and that Is his own physician. (Copyright, 1936. John P. Dllle Co.)

THERE has been much stirring of class hatred in Europe, based upon setting the have-nots against the haves. The final result HASN'T BEEN BETTERMENT of the have nots' condition.

HOFFMANN . , Al Smith Is Defended To the Editor: We are not commissioned to offer a defense for Al Smith. In his es pousal of the Landon cause but It must be admitted that in 1032 . Al Smith espoused the cause of Roose velt while Roosevelt waa standing on the "Democratic platform 100 per cent." Smith made four speeches for Roosevelt In the large cities, urging his election to the presidency, and now you say, "Al Smith is sore" be cause he can never be president on account of Roosevelt getting the nom ination In- 1032. Smith certainly knew in 1032 that he could never be president, for in order to avoid a re pudiation of Roosevelt's admin 1st ra. tlon he must be renominated In 1036. If Smith were "sore" he would not have- urged Roosevelt's election In 1932. He would have "taken a walk1 then. Evidently the editor believes that no man can rise above mere partisan ship and espouse the principles of true Americanism and reject the prln clples ol socialism when espoused by the president of the United States. Evidently, If a forraer friend de nounces the president for urging congress to pass unconstitutional laws, he Is "sore," and the presl dent had nine of these unconstitu tional laws passed by his "rubber stamp" congress; and some of them the president knew were unconsti tutional when he told his "yes" con gress that these measures "must" be passed even If they were unconstitu tional. Is an outstanding American citizen "sore' because he criticizes the president of the United States for calling the Supreme Court a "horse and buggy court," because that court declares nine of his laws unconstitu tional ?- Al Smith came up from the side walks of New York from poverty. He served repeatedly In the legislature of hla state and waa four times gov ernor of the greatest state in the union; and we have yet to hear from any source except the Tribune that the Integrity of Al Smith was ever before questioned. But how about ex-Governor Ely of Massachusetts a Democrat who was in the convention that nominated Roosevelt In 1932?

To the Editor: This seems to be not only a "pats the buck" and "miss the buck" sea son In the Oregon wooded woods, but also In the national political woodi. Frequently when vote-hunter Knox fires his wild broadsides In his eager ness to "bag the big game," while leaving his hunting partner to stalk the two-pointer size with his small caliber but high-powered "22," Mr Knox not only knocks the bush be hind which Mr. Landon Is skulking, frightening the would-be "kill" away, but has severely wounded hla partner several times. It apears now that only the briefness of the "hunting season" may prevent Knox from fir ing a fatal shot. And, even IX ho does not, his otherwise harmless hunt ing partner will be so oadly Injured, or ham-strung, that he will be for ever a political cripple, only able to go where and when pushed In an old, rickety wheelchair, often previ ously overloaded by a hog-tled presi dent.

The World war cost ollllons In money, and the lives of millions of the strongest and- finest young men, not to mention the anguish and sor rrow of millions of parents, wives and sweethearts. In this war with depression the lives of our young men were saved, In addition to a good les son learned that other wara can be avoided If money profits are taken out of them. In this war we'll not have thousands of young men crip pled beyond all recognition, lying In hospitals, with eyes, limbs, portions of their heads, faces or other parts of their bodies gone, and all hope blight ed; and other thousands too crippled to do a day,'s work. These "soldiers" of the CCC camps are improved phy sically, mentally and spiritually foj having served there, and the better? they serve the more benefits they gain. And so, the saving of our youth and the benefits their parents and families received or the saving of our public schools each Is well worth to our future citizenry all of the bil lions spent by the New Deal. Yet, each of the Improvements put Into effect by the administration for the welfare and benefit of mankind shares in that expenditure of a few billion man-made dollars. Recognizing, and conceding that some errors have been made, (have we never made one? and how big la our Job as compared with the multi tudinous responsibilities of the presi dent?) still his real accomplishments for the benefit of the many amount to so much that we should give him our support and encouragement In the good work he Is doing.
