In spite of his strenuous efforts, during nearly bait bis life, to get rid of his fortune-for the benefit of less fortunate citieno than himself, (in every respect a commendable purpose), he was forced to obey the final summons as a multi-millionaire. SiTOW as we see it, there is a valuable lesson in this, in the ' entire Rockefeller saga, in fact, from the close of the Civil War, to the present date. Briefly it is this: there is an economic system, that allows any one individual to accumu late such a colossal fortune as John D. Rockefeller accumulat ed, so huge, and with such an overwhelming unearned incre ment, that practically speaking, try as he would, he couldn't spend it, in his life time. We don't mean be couldn't followed the Biblical injunction, to live and die in poverty. But as a practical man, who wished to keep a "nest egg" for himself, againBt any possible contingency, that nest-egg, after be had transferred a large share of his holdings to his family, and given away approximately a billion dollars, represented, as the race closed, what is relatively speaking, a TREMENDOUS personal fortune. THIS column has no prejudice against the rich, the very rich or the vulgar rich, individually or collectively. And certainly we have none against the elder Rockefeller, who played the game, according to the rules the system sanctioned, was an unpretentious and God-fearing, citizen, and probably did more actual good with his excess wealth, than any of his contemporaries. But we do believe, a system that gives ANY ONE individual so much money and therefore so much power, is essentially wrong, and is critically in need of reform and readjustment. Such a system is not desirable from the standpoint of society, or from the standpoint of the individual benefitted, for after a certain point is reached, the life of the individual is not eifriched, by increased accumulations but complicated and re stricted. And the only way out, is either the one adopted by Rockefeller, to give his money away as a perpetual Lord Bountiful i or as many of his less fellow tycoons did, establish top-heavy family fortunes, to bring up their descendants, in ostentatious luxury, indolence, and general vacuity. THIS fault in the so-called capitalistic system, has been recog niznd nf course for a creat manv vears. the accumulation of more and more wealth in the hands of the few, and less and less in the hands of the many. Various and sundry efforts have been made to correct it. Karl Marx gave the reform movement great impetus, by advocating a socialistic society, his thesis being that such a dire result was inevitable from the profit system; that it couldn't be reformed but would have to be destroyed. Ho had then and still has (observe Russin) many followers. BUT another school of economists, refused to follow this revolutionary theory, maintaining that the net social results of the new system, would be worse than those of the old, tliat the thing to do was not to destroy the profit system, but reform it, take out what was bad, keep what was good, and make what was left, WORK I THIS theory has been generally adopted by democratic coun tripa nnrl tnrlnv. Pr-osirlflnt. Roosevelt ia the ontfltHnrlinir leader, throughout the world of trying in etery possible way to of wealth, to reduce the unsocial inordinate affluence on one side, other, not by scrapping the machine, but by RECONDITION. INOit This is the corner stone of reason he is so heartily hated, his acknowledged faults, is so THOSE who instinctively place riirlitH ilntpst. Rnnsevelt. and of this hatred is fear, not so as what MAY. Those who reverse the process, who not only place human righta above property rights, but as practical men, arc con vinced that "unless this country is made a better place for all of us, it won't be a good place for ANY of us," have stuck to Roosevelt throughout his administration, and in spite of certain disappointments, are sticking by him still. Not because they think him cause they agree with all h'.s policies, not by a long shot; hut because they believe ESSENTIALLY he is right; that he is trying to do, what must be done, if this democracy is to survive. This they regard as the BIG issue, overshadowing all other issues, which are relatively speaking mere details not only in this country but in the world, 'X'niS is the position of this newspaper. We oppose Hoosevelt entirely on me supreme ouri issue. We wish he would go farther than he has in the matter of economy and balancing the budget. We wish he were far more explicit and emphatic regarding the labor issue, particularly that phase of it graphically represented a few months ago by tho sit-down strike. All these counts we hold against him. BUT the couuts for him, fur more in number, have to do with his program as a whole, and it's essential purposes, and on this line, we have been for him and arc for him today "one thousand" strong THERE is no partisanship in this. No polities at all. It is based solely on this paper's couvietion, that if President Hoosevelt is beaten in his MAIN program, the only alternative will be the victory of a program, which will oppose his main purposes and carried to its inevitable conclusions will spoil this country's doom. Which may seem to be getting pretty far away from John D. Rockefeller. Sr., and his paltry nest egg of $;5,000,000. Hut it isn't, REALLY. For John D. was the outstanding example of what the old system produced, and that nest egg a symbol of why that system was and is wrong. It Is essentially the Rockefeller system, that President Roose velt is determined to change, nl as we se, it. unless he succeeds, well. it's a 'JO-to-onc shot there won't be any SYSTEM left at alii something radically wrong with have given everything away, and public-spirited and beneficent i this school of thought. He is bring about a fairer distribution and destructive spread between and extreme poverty on the his entire program. It is the on one hand, and, in spite of loyally supported, on the other. property rights above human all his works.

THE LOST Fl'NCTI The chief function of the circu lation la resplrat.on, that Is. tissue snd cell respiration, carrying oxy gen to the tis sues and cells of the body, and carrying back to the lungs carbon dioxide to be blown off. On the other hand, an Impor tant function of the respiration Is to aid the circulation. This the brea thing does by the pro cess of aspira tion, ss we shall attempt to explain In a moment. Unhampered natural breathing serves as a booster pump which helpc to pull the blood back from the veins to the right elde of the heart which pumps It Into the lungs to be oxygenated again Prom the lu ngs the oxygenated blood, purified of Its load of car bon dioxide, goes to the left side of the heart, and from there It la again pumped through the arteries to all parts of the body. During Inspiration or Inflation ot the lungs, bellows, belly there la Increased pressure within the ab domen and decreased pressure with in the thorax or chest. In conse quence of this, blood in the large veins In the abdomen Is drawn Into the large veins In the cheat, onward toward the right aide of the heart. The effect of this boost Is not lost during expiration or deflation be cause valves In the veins prevent or Impede backflow. The variations In pressure dn not affect the' blood In the arteries much If any, be cause the arteries are thick-walled and are constantly distended by the internal blood pressure, unlike the veins which are hin-walled and un der comparatively low Internal blood pressure. Just how much venous blood la sucked Into the chest and heart trom the large veins in the abdomen at each unhampered inflation. It ia difficult to estimate, and the: amount varies widely with the man- j ner of breathing, but It need not ' be great. An ounce or two of blood : may save life. 1 We have mentioned unhampered natural breathing. That Is belly breathing. Not chest breathing. The Import nnc- of this Is explained in 070.Mclntvre NEW YOHK, June 6. The coun try town hotel Is teetering on the brink of oblivion. The trailer, tour tat camp, tele phone and mir acle of motoring have all played their parts In Its undoing. Hund reds of rural Inns over the land merely hang on, watting the Inevitable fore closure. In retrospect these havens seemed notable contributions- to community content. My father spent all his active years as a Missouri hotel proprietor and I spent many of my formative days In what then .appeared to be an exciting flurry of travel, strange faces and constant change. The country hotel was the huo or the village. Most of the news of the world outside radiated from there. Prom the city drummer the town slickers acquired their sartor ial ellck. It waa where the troupers stopped when they came with their tricks of Illusion, soubrcttes, villains and handhome heroes. The hotel offlco was where the men of the town gathered when night came on. It was where the mighty questions of the day were settled, where the scandals ot the town were Hired and where men argued valiantly and often in apo plectic rage over the "goings on in Washington," Country hotel offices were cut to a familiar pattern. There was the soml-clrcuHr reception desk wttn the open register and pens spiked In a raw potato or cup of bird shot, Alongside, the cigar case. Back ot them, the big Iron safe, key rack and clock whose face heralded tne miracles of some mrdlcl bitters. Centering the room, the pot-bellied stove festooned with Its yawning boxes of sand that aerved as cus pidors. On the side, the writing desk with a half dozen chairs, ana in a corner the high shoe-shine chair, operated hy the combination porter, bell boy and houseman an In one. The dining room led off the ot (lce through swing doors and there was a rack for hats at the entrant no snide hat checking in those days, Hiere waa the drummers tsoie. distinguished by a bowl of city orsntiea and bananas and from the coiltng h .i n g an enormous ana smelly kerosene lamp.

Host people who have had only s common college education are Ignorant of the phys iology of life. Nine out of ten per sons, If asked to take the deepest possible Inspiration, hamper them selves by attempting to expand the chest when they should pay no attention to the chest or pretend It la paralyzed and endeavor rather to expand or inflate the bellows, the belly. Likewise most persons who have had only a college or high school education strive to hold In or draw up the belly and expand or thrust out the chest whenever they think of posture. This Is un natural. It Is comical. It retards circulation, slows oxygenation of the tissues and cells, lowers vlte. People who wear belts, supporters, corsets, girdles and .the like, Invar iably cheat themselves of the vital aid of aspiration. If hardening ot the arteries Is a sign of old age. flexibility or suppleness of the belly muscles Is & measure of youth. QUEST EON'S AND ANSWERS Hernia .

My father's lno created that distinction. Drummers came on Sat urday night and remained until Monday and thus the hotel ofiice on Saturday night was awash with a thrilling cosmopolitanism. Ml tne chairs were occupied and the locals loafed about bug-eyed In the sudden nib with the outside world and citi fied yarn-spinning. In one corner a pitch, seven up or crlbbage game and the room was literally opalescent with cigar and pipe smoke. Now and then Clum Jenkins, the hackman, would throw open the front door to bark: "Safi ta Fe north. Rock Island sou in." And Jimmy J, L. Lucas, the .own drunk, would weave about .'in an alcoholic blur until led oi. again. Jimmy realized he was sver wel come and was always uog-llke in humility. Also the e' em ally hen pecked Major Bunco who would skitter In a moment, like a fright ened rabbit, for a look around while on his way to Sutter's notion store to match ribbons or silks for bis wife, the town dressmaker. A tittup- py, hand-washing man who mlncca through life with an apologetic air. There was a crude heartiness about the crowd In the hotel office. Their ribaldry had the raw flavor of the barn-yard, but somehow It was wholesome In contrast to the pay chopathlo pap of today. Many were tobacco chewers and corn cob pipe smokers with a wardrobe ot two ault one for work and one "for nice." But they were substantial folk, with respect for the laws snd the constitution. God-fearing de scribed them perfectly. Sunday mornings. In seasonable weather, the chairs were placed at the curb and the office moved out to watch the town go by to the post of flee and church. The farm boys would come on horseback in their Sunday suits snd rack their mounts in Perkins' pasture across the way t gawk st the city folk. Otgcly girls would flounce by af fecting Indifference but s half block away would eddy up to some win dow and glance back, expectantly. How prosaic It all is to recall and yet how tremendous It was for all of us. T E 5ALBM, June 3. -Ti The Pleasant Valley Orange in TlUamook cojnty sent Oovernor Martin a resolution to day commending him upon his stand on laoor strikes ss they affect farm st-ction as well ss hli stand on the proposal to un onlre state employe.

Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS DEATHS due to automobiles col liding st night increased 87 per cent from 1930 to 1936. During the came period, deaths due to daylight crashed DECREASED 13 per cent. Two conclusions follow: Either we should light the high ways, or night drivers should become MORE CAREFUL. (Since lighting the highways would require a lot of money, which ss yet we don't have, the CHEAPER way would be for drivers to become more careful at night). THE most dangerous places to drive In Oregon are the best paved and best marked streets In the business and residential districts of the towns. The SAFEST places are the state's worst loads. THERE Is a theory (held by more people than you think) that drivers who are too young to have any sense or too old to have full pos session of their faculties are largely responsible for our admittedly scan dalous accident total. The FACTS ahow that a heavy ma jority of ALL accidents Is caused by drivers In the best physical years of life from 25 to 39. WE CAN go around and around with theories, but the COLD TRUTH la that traffic accidents arc chiefly due to CARELESSNESS. THE average span of human life has been greatly increased In re cent years, but the life expectancy of the normal, healthy Individual who gets safely past the dangerous years of childhood has NOT been greatly lengthened. That Is to say, the Increases In the AVERAGE span of life have been brought about largely by decreasing INFANT mortality. For example: Mortality among very young chil dren has been decreased by nearly 75 per cent since 1916, but by less than FIVE PER CENT among persons past the age of 75. IN OTHER words, your baby has a better chance of erowlne ud than you did, but you have little better chance of living past the three score years and ten than your grandfather had. Communications Would Fence Bear Creek To the Editor: Would like to make a suggestion, that I believe Is worth while and that Is for the city to cooperate with the property owners on each side of Bear creek within the city limits and Install an Al woven wire fence along the top bank, on each side. This completed should result in .a tripli cate benefit; I.e. first In Importance would be to keep little children away liom danger ot drowning In the creek waters; second, by putting In tern porary cross fences every two or three blocks the adjollnlng owners who have milk goats or cows could get the pasture benefit and If the proper u limber of goats are kept within each area the city will never have any more expense of brush cutting to keep the creek channel clear as the goats will keep the brush killed out; third, bow much more attractive will :he district look with all of the ilgh weeds and willows gone. If some civic organization would take this matter In band on behalf of the city and see that this project was com pleted at once, they could look oack two or three years from now and have something to be proud of. I don't own any Bear creek property but would be real glad to donate $10 toward the cost of the fencing :f I knew it would bo fully completed thla year.

June 5 The wars of yesteryear "till are costing the government s pretty penny $30,000,000 a month for veterans' pen sions alone. Veterans' . administration records show that approximately 595,000 vet erans drew S24.974.658 In pensions for April, while 317.808 dependents of deceased veterans collected 17,984.279. A handful were peace-time casualties. The wsr of 1813 ended 133 years ago. but the widow of one soldier and the daughter of another still draw pensions. They are Mrs, Caro lina King of Cheektawaga, N. Y-. and Mrs. Esther Ann Hill Morgan of In dependence, Ore. The number of hospitalized vet erans Increased In the 10 months before April 30, from 41.875 to 47. 426. Those living In old age homes Increased from 9.686 to 10,470.
