What Price, Politics?
IF matters proceed as at present, when tbe state primaries
come around, the Democratic party in Oregon, will be split
as wide open as the two yawning sides of the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado.
The cause of the split will be Bonneville, and the policy to
be pursued in the distribution of the power to be generated on
the Columbia river.
It promises to be the familiar vote catching issue of electric
light and power, "at no cost to

ON the surface it will look like a real battle on the solid
rock of conflicting principles. In reality however, it will
be only a sham battle for Bonneville and a real battle for the
oontrol of the Democratic party in this state.

Which is too bad, too bad

united behind a program for Bonneville which will be satisfac
tory to all concerned. A program that will stimulate industrial
development in this state, increasing the state's production and
wealth, adding new pay rolls, will directly or indirectly benefit
every individual however humble in it. At the same time,
this can be done, without depriving any consumer in the Bonne
ville area, or anywhere else, of as cheap rates for power and
light, as sound business principles permit.
The idea that there can be no such industrial development,
without handing Bonneville over to the power octopus, and
robbing the people of their birthright, may be good politics,
but in every other direction it is unmitigated nonsense.
mum benefits, in all directions, should be enjoyed by the
people ALL the people of this state.
But if it is turned into a political football, and utilized as a
stepping stone to political power, by the Pierce faction or any
other, such an outcome will be impossible.
We doubt if it will do any good. But this paper's advice
to all concerned, is to forget their political ambitions and
partisan animosities and concentrate upon what is best for
Bonneville and the welfare of this state.
It is essentially a business problem, not a political one. Let
principles of good business and common sense, not breast
beating demagoguery, prevail.

from 9 to 13 years, and non-descent
of one or both testa generally re

congenita anomaly. Of course, In
such cases only surgery will correct
tbe condition. The majority of cases
of unilateral undescended tests or

these unilateral cases that most fail

boy reaches the age of 13.
With the onset of puberty and
thereafter degenerative changes occur
In the undescended gland. If the
cryptorchidism Is bilateral the In
evitable effect of these degenerative
effect Is faUure of development In
virility, masculinity and physical
character. An ultimate effect In
some cases la malignant or cancerous
change In the retained gland.
It la the present opinion of com
petent physiologists that the Import
ant factor of sterility In cases of bi
lateral sryptorchldlsm is the higher
temperature of the gland retained In
the abdomen or in the Inguinal
canal. The germinal cells or tissue
in the gland require a lower tem
perature for normal functioning. Of
course. If one testis Is normally de
scended and free from disease the
complete failure or loss of the other
makes no difference so far as virility,
development, physical character or
fertility are concerned.

With Interest and sympathy I read
the libel on your golf club cat. At
least I assume It waa a libel for the
reasons hereinafter expressed.
A few years ago a prominent Albany
man was hunting deer in the moun
tains of eastern Linn county and kill
ed a big buck on high ridge. Though
proud of his marksmanship, he was
contemplating ruefully the task of
carrying the deer to his camp on the
road some three or four miles away.
when a game warden appeared and
demanded to see hla hunting license.
The qutck-thlnklng deer slaver ap
peared embarrassed and worried and
finally expressed a doubt If he had
such a document.
Thereupon the game ward on said.
Well, I'll have to take you In and
I'll have to confiscate your deer. Pick
It up and we'll go down to the road."
The huntsman replied: If you
want that deer for evidence, you will
have to carry It yourself." There
upon the game warden shouldered the
heavy burden, went down the high
ridge, up the other 4de of the can
yon on an equally arduous course and
then down and along the winding
trail and then, exuding much per-

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
yWENTY-EIGHT years ago, the
A present site of Maltn, over across
the moutalns, end the country to
the north and east of It, were sage
brush desert. On the sout hand
west, coming almost up to the pres
ent townslte, were the waters of Tule
lata.
Today, the whole Malin area Is rich
and fertile farm land the sagebrush
conquered and the lake drained. It
Is now a land of fjat fields and
beautiful homeB.
WHEN the people of Malin played
bost on Saturday and Sunday,
celebrating the 28th anniversary of
the founding of their town, they had
something to show the friends end
neighbors who flocked In to help
them celebrate. Nowhere on the Pa
cific Coast has e greater transforma
tion token place in the past three
decades.
DON'T think It was a picnic back
In those early days. It WASN'T.
The land was rich the tall and
luxuriant sagebrush proved that. But
Water was lacking. And the climate,
for some reason or other, was less
hospitable than now. It took years
of unbelievable labor and hardship
to prove that profitable crops could
be grown. When the moisture was
sufflclent-.for a crop, the frost too
often laid H low.
But they were a determined lot,
and they stuck with It. Disappoint
ments of one year were the Incentlv,
to WORK HARDER the next.
FIRST the ditches came, to provide
the water that was lacking. Then,
when the possibilities of the country
were demonstrated, the lake was
drained. Its bed, which had been
gathering silt for a million years,
proved amazingly rlcb.
The weather sharps will probably
deny It, but the people who have
built the Malin district from sage
brush desert to the beauty spot It
now Is Insist that the climate has
changed and softened in these 28
years, with Infinitely less frost now
than then.
Perhaps the water tass done It.
Anyway, at Malin on Saturday snd
Sunday, were displayed not only po
tatoes snd hay and grain, but almost
every conceivable variety of temper
ate zone fruit and vegetable.
Harsh and forbidding It may once
have been, but now it Is a mild and
hospitable land, yielding abundantly
In return for tha effort expended
upon It.
THIS thought stands out: This
rich and fertile Malin country,
along with Its neighboring Merrill
and Tule Lake regions, didn't come
sbout as a result of passing a law
or dividing up SOMEBODY ELSE'S
wealth. It was built by hard work.
EVERY OTHER worth-while coun
try that ever existed on earth was
built by hard work. There never
was such a thing as something for
nothing and there new will be.

One of the first favorable public
comments from abroad on the presi
dent's timely remarks came from
Parts.
Of course, the details of develop
ments leading up to the pi'edent's
decision to take his stand for "col
lective security" as against "Isola
tion" have been carefully guarded.
Two roasons are offered for believ
ing that the last sentence of the
Chicago speech. "America actively en
gages In the search for peace," may
be taken literally. They are:
1. The president would never have
gone as far as he did In his speech
If he had not received tangible evi
dence that the great democratic pow
ers were willing to go along.
2. The fact that a concert of the
nine-power treaty signatories will be
the probable organ of action, and not
the league, makes It possible for the
United States to take active part
without antagonizing anti-league sen
timent In this country.
Under these conditions, the United
States can now step forward to a
domlnent leadership in world diplom
acy. While Industry big and little raises
its voice against the Interference of
government, the air transport indus
try Is fighting tooth and nail to get
under the government's wing.
And the only reason It can't is
because the bill which would bring
It under the supervision of the inter
state commerce commission is being
fought by other government depart
ments. Senator McKellar Is given credit for
preventing the passage of the msasure
because, It is whispered, neither the
commerce nor the postofice depart
ments wanted it to go through. They
both have partial supervision of air
transportation and neither want to
give It up.
The department of commerce deals
out the flying weather, says whether
It is safe or not, and passes on the
types and safety of planes. The post
office, of course, steps in when ques
tions pertaining to the carrying of
mail are involved.
But this leaves such matters as
tariffs and freight rates grounded.
There is a gentlemen's agreement
concerning rates, but nothing more.
Fearing some situatoin might arise
such as the railroads faced years ago,
the air transport Industry would like
to att into the sphere of Influence
of the I.C.C. To that end, It Is work
ing on a counter-lobby to smash the
one said to be led by commerce and
postofflce departments against Its
bill. So far it reports progress.
Sectetary Roper Is proud of the j
best seller" produced by his depart
ment. "Stories of American Indus
try" Is a volume composed of 23 radio
broadcasts printed by the government
printing office. It has already gone
Into It fourth printing and Is selling
at the rate of 2.j0 copies a week.
It is being used In many schools as a
textbook.
The department of commerce this
year has a galaxy of business stars
on its radio program. They start off
on October 12 with W. Averell Harrl-
man. chairman of the board of the
Union Pacific railroad. Mr. Harrl
man Is followed by a list of names
that look as If tney were taken from
the directory of directors of industry.
Just Right for
Oregon Folks!

syphilis Is not the problem of th
