Election Recommendations rVJO'W for the state and local tickets. - As has been previously Charles MeN'ary, would be in everyone knows when we in southern Oregon want something DONE, the senior senator is the man appealed to and the man who does it. True the senator is a Republican, minority leader in the upper house, but no member of his party has given more loyal support to President Roosevelt,. 'during the past three and a half years, than he; and if Roosevelt is re-elected he cau be depended upon to do the same on major liberal issues in the future. The people of Oregon, afford to take any chances on his defeat. Senator MeN'ary should be returned to Washington, by an overwhelming majority. WITAT is true of Senator JIoNary, is, in the opinion of this newspaper, NOT true of Congressman Mott. Mr. Mutt, gave lip service to the New Deal when it was popular, but as soon as the tide turned, went over to the bitterly partisan oppo sition j and if re-elected, there is no reason to believe he would abandon that course. More than that he has, from the outset, supported the Townst'nd old age pension plan, playing both ends against the middle, in many other ways, and has demon strated, to this paper at least, that he is not the type of repre sentative in Washington we want. His opponent K. W. Kirkpntrielc of Clackamas county, is not equally experienced, but he is honest, capable, had the cour age to oppose a form of old age pension he knows can never be adopted, and if sent to Washington can be depended upon to give President Roosevelt the support, vhieh this paper believes so strongly the president should have. This paper is for Kirk- patrick. So much for tho ballot from a national standpoint. . IX state and county affairs national politics have no proper place. Whether a man wears a Republican or Democratic label, has nothing or should havo nothing to do with tho case. The sole cpiestion is the character and ability of tho candidate. On (his basis, and this basis alone, the Mail Tribune makes the following recommendations: For State Treasurer, we favor Rufus Hoi man. He is ex perienced, capable, 'absolutely hottest, and while he has certaiu temperamental shortcomings, they are overbalanced by his all around usefulness and integrity. I. H. Van Winkle has been1 Attorney General for many years, and during o serious crisis in Jackson county internal affairs, he and his assistants rendered invaluable service to this com munity. It is largely in gratitude for that service that we recommend his re-election. This is no reflection upon tho ability and character, of his chief opponent, Alfred P. Dolson of Portland., . """.".,.. A S to the slate legislative ticket, from this county, the four leading candidates are all good citizens; there is nothing to be said agaiiiKt any of them. ' But again on the ground of efficiency and competence this paper favors the election of the two Republicans, Glenn Taylor and Wm. McAllister. . Taylor has served capably in the legislature, which is a distinct advantage, from the standpoint of his usefulness ; whilo McAllister, with his legal training and aggressiveness, should give a good account of himself at Salem. They would, we be lieve, make a pretty effective pair, combining seasoned maturity with youthful enterprise. rURING the past several years the office of District Attorney in .Jackson county has been of great importance in the establishment and maintenance of law and order, and promises to be equally important during the next few years. George Codding has made a record in the District Attorney's office which has attained stato wide recognition, and we' regard it as decidedly in the public interest of this community that he bo retained. Next comes the county eommi.ssionersiiip. The Republican candidate is Ralph IMIIingsj tho Democratic candidate, Ralph Jennings, former sheriff. High grade men in every way, but we unhesitatingly endorso Ralph Billings. Not only endorse him, but hang up "four stars" against his name. He has been one of tho best commissioners, Jackson county has ever had, and from every standpoint of the publiu welfare should be kept on the job where he now is. K NOTI1KR tweedlc-dee and tweedle-dum is the mutter of the county clerkship. The present incumbent George Carter, is opposed by Clarence Pankey,-well we hold up Carter's hand, as our preference, on the ground, that when a public official has given good service, and because of his familiarity with the job, can be depended upon to give hotter service in the future, there is no point in removing him. In fact to establish such a precedent renders' more difficult the attainment of efficiency in public office. J. B. Coleman for County Assessor? What's the use" "Ilium" has had the job ever since we can remember, and promises to keep it as long as he wants it. Which will be ipiite all right as far as this paper is concerned. There is no more competent assessor in the state, and the job is a far more important one to community welfare than many people realize. Finally the county treasurer race. A. ('. Walker, the present iiicuiubent and very competent, is opposed by Ralph Sweeney, who because of his many years clerical experience, is probably equally competent. On the ground of certaiu personal and temperamental qualities, important in any public relationships, Mr. Sweeney has in our judgment the better' of it. So the referee raise1) Sweeney's hand in this match, though we admit it 'a a close decision. To recapitulate our recommendations in condensed form t Kor I!. S. Senator, MeN'ary.

William Itrudv, El Cam I no, Heverly Hills, Calif. DIAGNOSIS A patient In a hospital for treat ment of an Injury complained of "hemorrhoids." Two surgeons on the hospital staff ex amined him and assured him he had no hemor rhoids. Never theless he be lieved he had something of the sort wrong, and M as toon as he I :' he visited a doc-- I trf 1W J tor who, on ex- I amination, found HBfWHj three large hem- orrnoias. This doctor made a real examination, by means of speculum and suitable light. The surgeons hod made a blind examination, without speculum and without Inspection, ana so they muffed the diagnosis. It Is fair to say that nearly half of all sufferers from "piles" actually have no piles; or rather that their trouble Is duo to something else. A personal communication from a medical friend says of a clinic where ambulant treatment la given: "During the several times I have dropped in there I have seen from 20 to 60 patients a tiny being treated for some proctologlcal condition There are no beds and the thing they do without confining patients are truly remarkable. One of the most u&fful things they do la to diag nose and refer cnrclnoma to surgeons. Many of these would go undiagnosed and untreated were it not for this clinic." Another physician, In his book on "Essentials of Injection Treatment" (McNamara, The Medical press, Roch ester, N. Y.) says: "Some day patients suffering with rectal disease will not hesitate to consult their physicians aa soon as they realize that there Is something wrong, That day will have arrived when the public has become inform ed aa to the easo and lasting com fort through which relief may be secured through the Injection (am bulant) method of treating hemor rhoids." In one largo clinic In connection with one of the greatest hospitals In the country, where formerly only op eration was employed for hemor rhoids, fissure and other common rec tal troubles, the Injection treatment alone Is now employed, and hundreds of patients are cured without con finement, serious discomfort or In -u.u.rvicinTvre NEW YORK, Oct. 30.

U experienced surgeons, like the two above referred to, can be so de ceived by the sense of touch as o fall to recognize the presence of two large hemorrhoids, how much more likely a' layman Is to be mistaken about the diagnosis of any rectal trouble.

Suffice to say thut none of the symptoms most frequently pre sented' warrants a diagnosis of the condition, and certainly no physician is justified In prescribing other than palliative remedies In such a case without a proper visual examination by menns of speculum and adequate light.

CONTINUING the discussion of bal lot measures started In this col umn yesterday, the fifth measure 1b entitled: "Amendment Limiting and Reducing Permissible Taxes on Tan gible Property." With the underlying purpose of this amendment, which 1 to force reduc tion of taxes on real estate, this writer Is In agreement, for reasons already stated. The bulk of local tax money comes from real estate and other tangible property., With the certain prospect that federal taxes will be distressingly heavy for years to come (in order to pay for New Deal spend ing) It Is going to be necessary for us to hold down local taxes In every way possible. But this amendment to tho state constitution upsets the wholo struc ture of assessed values which has fen built up by years of trial and error. If It la approved, the whole Job ol fixing assessed valuation will have to be done over again. This writer will-vote no. THE sixth measure is the state power bill, whose purpose Is fully understood, since It has been on the ballot In one form or another fre quently. Its purpose Is to put the state of Oregon Into the power busi ness. Tills writer Is an unreconstructed Individualist who doesn't want the btnte In tho power business or the grocery business or the fanning busi ness or the newspaper business, be lieving that the conduct of business is the right of Individuals who seek to earn a living. So tills writer will vote no. THE seventh measure Is a compan ion to the sixth, and Is entitled: also READ VOTERS PAMPHLET PACE 17 "State Hydroelectric Temporary Ad ministrative Board Constitutional Amendment." Its purpose Is to pro vide for temporary administration of the state power bill. If It should pass. For the reasons given before, this writer will vote no. TUB eighth and last measure llxo wlse requires no explanation. It Is known gs the atnto hank bill, and la Intended to put the state of Ore gon into the banking business. Thirty-odd states, at, one time or another, have tried going Into the banking business, and with one ex ception ALL of them have gone out of It later with their fingers badly burned. In North Dakota the state bank still survives. The chief purpose of a state bank is to make loans (often to pay polltl- OREGON'S FINEST ROADSIDE TAVERN!

This writer will vote no. IP YOU have paid any attention to the statements here made, you have noted that this particular writer will vote no all down the line. Per haps that Is evidence of a hard-boiled, and cynical attitude. But If ell of us had been a Ilttlo harder boiled In recent years, wo would be better off. Anyway, It Is this writer's honest conviction thnt nil of the measures on this year's ballot can be defeated without any serious loss to the state of Oregon or Its people.
