CEXATOB PAT HARRISON of Misiippi i one of President Roosevelt i chief lieutenants in the upper home. Harrison i alao a leading advocate of government economy. He aays he wanti the budget balanced. All right ao far. But what elae doea Pat want! Pat want no increased taxes, and declares if anyone sug gests increased taxes he will fight the move to the last ditch. Yet, only a few weeks ago he introduced a bill, calling for a $300,000,000 annual federal education subsidy, to add nearly a third of a billion, to the governments present overwhelming deficit I There you have it ladiea and gentlemen ! rfERE has been a great dal of talk recently about the Supreme Court issue, being the most important issue, raised since the Civil War. Theoretically it is of epoch-making moment. But aa a practical matter, in view of the way things are now working out, we seriously question whether this issue will occupy aa important a place, in the historical perspective, as the national problem that Senator Harrison of Mississippi repre sents. At any rate thia much is certain. The IMMEDIATE effect ef the Supreme Court issue, whatever the final settlement, will not be nearly aa far reaching, or if the settlement is wrong, devastating as the method chosen to settle the nation's financial crisia. For it IS a crisis. And if any evidence were needed, to establish the seriousness of it, the senator from Mississippi has supplied it. IF president Roosevelt ahould succeed in packing the Supreme Court the effect, would be nil, as far as the IMMEDIATE welfare of thia country and the people in it are concerned. Moreover the precedent established, dangerous as it would be. might never be followed; while the packed court, in all proba bility would sanction no legislation, that the present court would not sanction. But if the financial philosophy Senator Harrison represents should be adopted by the present administration, then good night I To give lip service to economy and budget-balancing on one hand, and then continue spending hundreds of millions' for new and unessential projecta, on the other, jan only lead to one thing, not only inflation, but extreme inflation, and but why go into thatl The least catastrophic of the certainties, would be another runaway boom, another bust, and then where would we get the billions to tide the country over another five or six years of depression I Such an outcome, would threaten the security and well being of the entire country and every human being in it. MR. MARINER ECCLES of the Federal Reserve called at tention to the seriousness of the situation, several weeks ago. There is no doubt he did so at the president's suggestion, who fully appreciates it. But what can either of them do if congressional leaders like Harrison, persist in sitting on the safety valve as far as in creased revenues are concerned, while they open the flood gates of the U. S. treasury; talk of economy and refuse to practice it; talk of balancing the budget and do everything they can to make it impossible. THE answer as to the former, is little or nothing. The antuver aa to the latter, is a great deal, if he will exercise the power he haa over congress and his loaders, and tell them, that this financial fiddling while Rome burns has to stop! IT'S not an easy job. In fact it is just as hard,"' as that of the man who got the bear by the tail, but was afraid to let go But it's a job, as we see it, that must be done, and the timu has come for the president to do it. It will take courage, firmness; it will involve the turning down of political friends, and turning a deaf ear to the "give me "chorus; but unless it is done, and done reasonably soon, then our ship of state is due for a head-on collision with grim reality, if it doesn't crash again on the financial rocks.

SO THAT'S HO W IT IS, EHf In ft determined effort to enlight en me, a reader writes: "We are. constantly carrying mil lions of assorted germs within Dur bodies, but a normal, healthy system will com bat them and will withstand their vicious at tacks. When the body is unduly chilled or is weakened by fa tigue the resist- a nee to this army of gtrms Is nat urally lessened and the pesky things have a freer reign." Further on the reader forgets the ml Hons of averted germs within our bodies, or maybe he assumes they're all dead and burled, for he con tinues; "The only way to remedy the situ ation Is to compel those with 'head coldjr." to stay away from people or at least wear masks to keep their germs at home.' But what difference would a few germs more or less make If every body constantly carries millions of assorted germs In his system and these hypothetical germs are ready to make a vicious attack the Instant the host get tired or chilled? This quaint notion that we are all carriers of disease germs Is the figment of some almanac prophet's Imagination. There is no foundation for It. Not for the prodigious the ories built upon It. The old-timers frankly ascribed pneumonia, tonsil Itls, bronchitis, laryngitis, distemper and catarrh to chilling, dampness, cold "settling" In the "weak" pot It became Imperative tc back and fill on this when we learned that pneumonia and tuberculoma and diphtheria are due to specific germs. and so the resourceful told -timers dragged In the "lowered resistance" bunk. All talk about "resistance" la sheer bunkem, you mast remember, no matter who la trlking. No one can define " reals tan'.-e" or determine whether an Individual has it. "Re sistance" Is like luck something the poor fellow evidently didn't have. Do not confuse th'.s blah about "resist ance" with what we know of im munity. Immunity la a specific stnti. that Is, Immunity against diphtheria has nothing to do with the Indi vidual's susceptibility to pneumonia and vice versa. We can recognize im munity and even determine whether an Individual has It In some In stances. Further, we know that If an Individual has any degree of Immun ity he neither gains nor loses It in a day; It is Independent of his Imme diate comfort, hunger, warmth or lack of warmth. Chill, draft, wet, fatigue, etc. I mean to say that one who Is more than ordinarily susceptible to any of the Ills or diseases formerly ascribed to "taking cold need neer worry about everyday exposure .o cold or wet. chilling, draft and '.he like, for these trifling Incident of being alive certainly have no effect on whatever immunity one happens to have agalnst such diseas. or dis eases. Not that I expect you old geezers to catch the drift of t'.ils teaching. I don't. I've been too long at the business to hop to make any Im pression on the set plaster-of-parls mind. But every time we go over this lesson we start some ynung read er thinking, and that's n't we want. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Teach Is Away Ahead.

Get Wise to It D.Mclntyre ' n if IT DUSINESS men in Oregon should find out exactly how the U anti-price discrimination act passed by tho 1937 legislature will affect their commercial practicea.'according to a members' bulletin of Oregon Business & Investors Inc. It goes into effect June 7th. Discriminations in prices that are not based upon differences in quality, grade or volume of merchandise or service sold, and that tend to create a monopoly or lessen competition, are de-1 clared unlawful. Every parson engaged in commerce in Oregon, with exception of co-operative associations, is deemed guilty of violating the act if a charge is brought against him by a com petitor, unless he can prove himself innocent. Roadside selling of agricultural products comes within the scope of the act. Buyers of merchandise or of some service, as well as the sellers, can be charged with violating the act. Business proprietors and owners must have an accurate idea of their costs, since the Oregon anti-price discrimination act makes it unlarcul to sell merchandise or "output of a service trade" for less than replacement cost plus overhead, with ex ception of close-out, seasonal or shopworn goods. THIS anti-price discrimination act was sponsored at the 1937 legislature by retail trade associations for tho purpose of protecting merchants from crushing competition of a sort that ( is against publio policy and is in line with the federal Robinson Tatman act that applies only to interstate commerce. It is a drastic measure. Local merchants are advised to inform themselves regarding its provisions, for thir own pro tection. There is dynamite in it. It remains to be seen whether it will be just another dead-letter measure, to clutter up the statutes or the intensity of competition will create a spark to detonate it. NEW YOHK. -April 14. Not many wangle more Joy out of their Jobs than Steve Hannagan, who has About become the town's No. 1 press agent. He wears a perpet ual grin high like a cockatoo's crest and is us ually found where there la mirth, laughter and Bill Comm. Hannagan ar rived in New York after cut 1 1 n g publicity capers that help?d raise the Indian apolis motor ape a way and Miami Beach to headline eminence.

Hannagan is a product of Latayette. Ind., and was tutored Journalistically by his mentor, George Ade. and newspsperman playwright and perhaps the first reporter to become a millionaire. He la still unusually spry for his 70 years and his sense of humor has never dulled. He Is devoted to soft ball games and watcnea them play every summer morning at Brook, Ind.
