Editorial Correspondence
PORTLAND, Oct. 27. There is a first time for everything.
This is the first time we have seen four clear, crisp, sunny days
running in the Willamette valley in October. We have an idea
it is the first time in weather bureau history as far as northern
Oregon is concerned. One awakens around seven a. m. in
semi-darkness.- The inevitable has happened, the delugo has
started. But there are no rain drops on the windows, and
pulling up the curtains the city is enshrouded in a thick, pea
soup fog. Around ten a. m. the fog starts to lift and by noon,
the sky is clear and blue, and another gorgeous Indian summer
day is in full Bwing. The sun sets to the westward in a blaze
of brilliant color, the stars coine out pure and sparkling in a
deep purple sky, and the lights flicker on the top of Council
Crest like a million fire flies. Well it will surely rain tomorrow.
But the next morning, it is again dark and gloomy, there are no
rain drops on the window panes, and the same performance
starts over again. It has never happened before. One wonders
if it will ever happen again.
In the aforesaid pea-soup fog we motored down to the state
Normal at Monmouth where a new building was to be dedicated
the occasion indeed being the reason for this journey north
ward. We had never stopped at Monmouth or visited the State
Normal before. Both were pleasantly surprising. Monmouth
is a quaint, peaceful village nestling in rolling pastoral country
amid nut orchards, dairy meadows, and a few fir decked hills.
it reminded one of Jacksonville, and like Jacksonville it goes
back to the frontier days of the early SO'h. We were not pre
pared for the mellow, ivy grown old England atmosphere of the
Normal buildings, nor the warmth and color of the interiors,
small and unpretentious, but with far more chnrm and char
acter, than many of the freshwater colleges in the land, we have
seen. A nice luncheon served by somo of the girl students,
and speeches limited to three or four minutes each, which was
a welcome relief to all concerned.
President Churchill of the State Normal, was in charge of
the Ashland Normal for several xenrs. Ho did a Cino job at
Ashland, lie is doing a fine job up here.
We like. this hotel in Portland, it is liomelike and quiet and
we have been hero so often it fits like an old shoe. But we
wish the man next door would shut off his phonograph. We
thought it was a radio at first, but after hearing over and over
again a record, giving the famous and much publicized dialogue
between President Roosevelt of four years ago and Senator
Vandenbcrg of Michigan today we have decided otherwise.
The bell boy exiilained the man is a permanent boarder, a Port
land business man, confined to
this is his idea of diversion listening to that wizardry of Die
art of sound reproduction, over
waves of 10U2 being perfectly
derided by the O.O.P. sound waves of 1936. A very clever cam
paign stunt, and whoever thought it. sip deserves the ambassa
dnrsliip at the Court of St. James if Lamlon wins.
Tliero they go now that
youthful voice of President
relentless rejoinder of the gentleman from Michigan Somehow
that performance seems peculiarly typical of the entire cam
paign, especially the listener who flat on his back, can't get too
much of it, but wants to hear it, over and over and over again.
As far as hotel lobbies, and
cerned, there is no evidence of political excitement in the
Oregon metropolis. Your correspondent has walked about the
business section, dropped in at the Portland, Imperial, Benson
and Multnomah hotels, visited one newspaper office, kept an
ear pealed fot conversation along the Main Stem, but very few
liolitical remarks have boon heard. There are a great many
Roosevelt streamers on motor
IjBiidon sunflowers on coat, lapels, but. we should say for the
week before an epoch making
City is quiet very quiet indeed.
The best argument we have
President Roosevelt, on this trip, eamo from a Landon man.
Wo wish we could name him, but he happens to be a college
professor, and college irofcssors who engage in politics are
supposed to resign and join the
llowover if the unexpected should happen and bandon win
we don't believe ho will be called to Washington.
Kor tins professor happens
New Deal and the Roosevelt
abroad and has first hand knowledge of economic and political
conditions in Kurope. He maintains, the principles of the New
Deal, and particularly government spending and publics works,
have been adopted by practically all the great nations of the
world, and the present American prosperity instead of having
been achieved in spite of the New Deal, has been directly and
exclusively the product of it. The cause of the world wide
depression was the breaking down of the purchasing power,
and only the governments that used their credit to restore it
have returned to anything approaching normal prosperity. Ho
oven went so far as to say, the defeat of Roosevelt instead of
stimulating prosperity would do the exact reverse,-there might
he a sentimental boom during
the fear of Roosevelt in Big Business circles, but if this were
lollowed by any lminediato and
budget, American business would soon fall into another tailspin,
and the Landon administration would be forced to adopt most
of the polioieg of the New Deal in self defense, to keep the
cconomio ship from foundering again.
Why then is ho going to vote
argument, we give it for what
Roosevelt's election not only will
a larger electoral vote than was tho case four years ago. Ho
favors the president's re-election, but he hopes for a largo
protest vote, and so he is marking his ballot to add to that
protest vote. He likes tho president's fundamental program,
but he believes there are certain weaknesses in it, and above
all he is fearful of the president's future course, if he should
be returned by another landslide he doesn't want him to take
the bit in his teeth again, he wants him to go slow rto realize
there is a large conservative opposition, to stop, look and listen.

wakln the baby
regularly at feeding time except the
long stretch at night.
Up to the age of six months the
baby should sleep from 16 to 18 hours
a day, the waking Intervals being
from half an hour to two hours long
At the age of one year the baby stJi
requires 14 to 15 hours sleep, and
should b bathed, fed and tucked
Into bed for the night by 6 p. m at
the latent, better at fi p. m.
Let tho baby have an unllghtrd
room and reasonable quiet, but do
not hush-hush the household. Bet
ter to train the baby to sleep un
disturbed by the ordinary sounds of
the household. Never leave a lamp
or light burning In the sleeping room.
J tain the baby to have no fear of tho
dark.
Never rock or sit by the baby or
use other means to coax sleep, it Is
all right for mother or nurse to
croon a soft lullaby for a few mo
ments by way of a good-night. A
quiet, darkened room, a comfortable
bed. a clean akin, a fresh, clean dry
napkin, a loose, long ntghty and a
square meal are all a healthy baby
requires to bring slumber.
When the sleepy-tlme meal is dis
posed of, the baby, already bathed,
and In ntghty, should be gently laid
In bed, without anything In mouth
or hand. It Is courting grief to cul
tivate the habit of holding some
thing In the mouth or In the hand
and It is unfair to the baby to
cultivate such neurotic habits.
After the fourth month the baby
should sleep all night from 10 p. m.
wj o a. m. without waking. If the
baby does not awaken after 10 p. m..
do not take him up or feed him
again.- See that he la warm and dry,
and let him cry It out. Otherwise
your baby learns that he can regu
late your life to suit his whims and
you will never have any peace or
comfort, for a baby Is an unconsci
onable tyrant when he once learn
he can have hla own way.

LRRPS AND GROWS
If the nutrition Is optimal and the
sleeping habit Is right, the bsby
grows 10 inches In length the first
year and three Inches the second
year. The birth weight is doubled In
the first three months, trebled In the
first eight months, and nearly quad
rupled In the first year. Only the
Infanta of Intelligent parents or par
ents instructed by up-to-date phy
sicians achieve optimal nutrition. If
your baby doesn't It Is because you
have not paid attention to the ad
vice that has been given here.
The circumference of the baby's
head Increases from 13 Inches at
birth to 17 Inches at the age of
a year.
Remember, the sole business of the
baby for a year la to eat, sleep and
grow, and the less you Interfere with
this business the better for the fu
ture health and happiness of the
baby.

Profit Tax Isn't Cockeyed.
To the Editor;
As you declared In your editorial on
Mr. London's "cockeyed" tax speech
last week, this measure upon analy
sis does not present the Iniquitous
features attributed to it by the Re
publican nominee.
Examination of the act will show
that corporations with net .Income
of less than 950.000 per year, which
distribute to their stockholders 75
percent of the earnings In dividends,
actually pay less In federal Income
taxes under this "cockeyed" measure
than under the revenue act of 1932
the last revenue act of the Hoover
regirhe.
The following table shows tout
federal corporation Income and "cock
eyed" taxes on three hypothetical
corporations under the 1032 act and
under the 1936 act. in example "A"
we follow the 1932 act. Example B"
calculates the tax under the 1936
act assuming no dividends have been
paid. Example "C" is also under the
1936 act assuming dividends of 75
percent of the net earnings have been
paid to the stockholders.

Example "A"
3.437.50
6,875.00

The 1936 act makes It desirable
for corporations to pay dividends.
These dividends will be taxable (or
normal as well a surtax to Individ
uals this year while previously divi
dends were exempt from normal tax
on Individuals.
Small corporations desiring to re
tain all or part of their profits for
expansion may do so without penalty
by paying dividends with bonds or
preferred stocks, or the stockholders
can give or loan back the dividends
to the corporation.
Among corporations exempt from
"cockeyed" or tax on undistributed
corporate earnlnga are banks, bank

split. Roosevelt's majority 1 being
figured by some authorities at a bare
8,000, which means only that the to
tal Republican and Democratic vote
Is very closely balanced.
Maine will give Landon a majority
of about 86,000.
Idaho will probably go for Roose
velt by about 18,000.
Among the many promises which
Mr. Roosevelt ha not made in this
campa'gn Is one about silver. A story
comes from on high that he will seek
modification of the silver purchase
aot at the next session. If re-elected.
Tho only thing he has said on the
subject was at Denver. There he took
credit for the silver purchase pro
gram, which everyone around here
had believed waa put over on him by
the silver senators, against his Judg
ment and wishes.
The official text of his Denver
speech, likewise, records his mention
of "our great bullion reserves no .'
In the United States treasury." But
It does not record that he signifi
cantly ad llbbed to hi silver-minded
autl-gold audience "and you In Den
ver know oome thing about them "
This has left the silver authorities
around here knee-deep in a quandary,
but their best Judgment Is that the
president plans to do nothing about
silver one wey or another. The ex
perts who have formulated his policy
j-ay they are' quite content to leave
things as they are, without modifica
tion or extension.
Another development which has
complicated sliver expectations is the
switch of James P. ("Off Again on
Asain") Warburg back to Roosevelt.
Mr. Warburg has been for and against
the president o often that statictl
ctana have lost count, but at the
time this was written, he was still
Mick ing to an announcement that
he waa for Roosevelt.
The announcement did not men
tion It, but Mr. Warburg has a silver
record. He once wrote a book, "The
Money Muddle," in which he caus
tically analyzed the monetary policy,
exhausting every angle of it except
silver. In 1932. he advised the house
coinage committee to put silver In
the monetary reserves.
Hla business connections are like
wise highly regarded profeseional sll
erltes. Speculation has naturally resulted
In the question of whether the re
turn of the official-strayed silver
prodigal involve any change In sil
ver policy. The consensus Is that It
does not.

An "Unfortunate" Statement.
To the Editor:
Mr. Knox has been severely criti
cized for his statement that under
the New Deal no life insurance pol
icy or savings account is safe, and
he was certainly unfortunate in his
choice of language. He would not
have had anyone understand that
they are not perfectly soh'ent so far
as making payment in the present
devalued dollars are concerned, or in
dollars that may be still further re
duced In value.
But as to payment In the dollar
that waa used to pay premiums, the
story Is different. As a concrete ex
ample, let me cite a small policy of
$5000 upon which I nave paid pre
miums In 100 -cent dollars to within
two years, or 45 years. Today It Is
