Is "Regimentation " Imperative?
-fiERE are two sides to evsry question, including the farm
problem. Senator Borah, yesterday, with customary elo
quence, gave one of them. Said he:. '
"It la national suicide to reduce crops when there are mil
lions of hungry and needy pei ions In the country. w
are facing a winter In which mllllona of children will be ker-v
out of school, because they do not have sufficient food and
clothes. And tbe best we can do Is fix up this bill, which will
. restrict agricultural production while 50 of the people do not
have all they need to eatr
That'. ONE side.
Here ia the other side.
We live under the capitalistic system, which is a profit
system. Under it, no industry, including agriculture, can
endure, which doesn't make a profit.. That profit is determined,
by the law of supply and demand. And demand is limited by
purchasing power, which in turn ia determined by profits.
If nothing is done to restrict acreage, that is reduce the
supply, then there will be no waj to prevent a surplus,
supply will exceed the purchasable demand, and the commod
ity concerned will become "a drug upon the market," while
those engaged in producing it, unable to make a profit, will
go broke, unless the government, or some other agency steps
in, and subsidizes them.
Therefore we have those who favor a farm subsidy j and
those who favor the restriction of acreage ;.; and those who like
Senator Borah, condemn the latter, but offer no. workable
alternative to it. ,
KTOW no one questions, that this eountry, is capable of pro-
' ducing all the food and clothing, warmth and shelter, that
ita population needs. -Eliminate the profit element, turn over
all our land, and factories and resources, to the government
for operation and free distribution, and none of our 125 mil
liona would be in want. .
But that would be communism, or- socialism, they differ in
degree, rather than in general character. And of course Senator
Borah, and those who so bitterly oppose the theory of scarcity,
would never sanction anything like that. In fact they oppose
communism even more uncompromisingly than they do regimentation.
And yet, as time goes on,
that if some form or regimentation, some definite economic
plan, is not adopted, some form of socialism will be. This is
the irrepressible conflict, and day by day, we are coming nearer
and nearer to the inevitable Arraegeddon.
. S '
WE are not saying the proposed farm bill is right, nor
are we saying that the forms of regimentation proposed,
are the proper solutions of the problem. But we ARE saying,
that unless SOME form of regimentation is adopted, some
eoonomic plan ia devised, which will make democratic capitalism
WORK, produce that degree of general well being, under the
profit system, which can be secured by ita elimination, then
nothing can prevent this country
the way of Italy and Germany, probably the latter.
And that is what the Roosevelt administration is trying to
prevent by making the capitalistic system WORK. Its program
still is, as it has been from the outset, a system of trial and
error; but unless this effort succeeds, unless the present system,
can be so readjusted and regulated, that it will bring security
and general contentment to the people ALL the people then
sooner or later, the people are going to demand, some OTHER.

on personal liberty, whether they apply to agriculture, manu
facturing, motoring, morals or sports. We would all like to
return to the good old days, when rugged individualism was
in flower, and we lived in the richest country in the world
that was only 20 developed, but that can't be done. Whether
we like it or don't, those good old days are gone, never to
return.
And what we must do today,
The plain truth is capitalism,
form, faces a supreme crisis. Perhaps the developments in this
country, during the next few years, will finally determine
ita fate.

THE BRIDE'S HEALTH CERTIFICATE
A long time ao I wrote an article
entitled "The Bridegroom's Health
Certificate." It was published May
U, 1914. In that article J dared to

percentage of these Infected men,

wves after marriage.
It would be Interesting, now, to
know whether that was printed as I
wrote It. I failed to preserve copies
of newspapers of that date. Has any
present reader by any chance a copy
of the paper containing that article?
I'd be grateful for a chance to see It.
I remember also the reaction to the
article. A good many readers main

clung to the belief that the double
standard of morals placed the onus on
the man and excused the woman
from submitting to a medical exam

certificate as evidence of freedom
from communicable disease. -
The legislation concerning the mat

such chivalrous consideration. It re
quires a health certificate from both
parties when they apply for a license
to marry.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
ONI of Oregon's moat Interesting
(and probably MOST novel) WPA
project la Tlmberllne Lodge, located
at tbe edge of the timber and Just
below the perpetual snowline on the
south side of Mount Hood.
It Is about six miles from the
Mount Hood loop highway, and the
road by which It Is reached takes off
a short distance west of the Junc
tion with the Wapinltla cut-off by
which the people of Southeastern
Oregon reach Portland.
TIMBER LINE Lodge, It will be
remembered, was dedicated by
President Rooeevelt when he visited
Bonneville this fall. The furnishings
used for the dedication were hauled
up from Portland and taken back
the next day. The building is still
under construction, and probably
won't be finished much before spring.
TIMBERLINE Lodge, when com
pleted and furnished, will cost,
along with the alx-mlle road by
which It la reached, about a million
dollars.
It will be built and furnished
wholly by WPA labor. The building
haa been made on the ground out
of native materials from the Imme
diate vicinity, and the furnishings
are being made by hand In the WPA
shop projects In Portland.
Even the curtains have been woven
by hand by WPA workers and they
are really beautiful. The lighting fix
tures have been made by hand In
the WPA shoo nrolecta. - And thev.
too, are attractive and appropriate.
There la much wood carving,
done by WPA workers.
all
THE building, designed by a forest
service architect, ia huge and
Impressive and original. And It la
friendly and homelike, too. When
you see it, you'll like the Interior
you can't help It.
It has Its own lighting system and
Ita own heating system. Ita prize
piece la a vast chimney, going up
through three floors, with three fire
places grouped around It on each
floor.
This chimney, the attendant tells
you, weighs 600 tons. It Is made of
native lava rock.
AND the view well, that cant be
described. To the north, almost
within touching distance, Is the
snowy bulk of Mount Hood s sum
mit, To the south ia a tumbled mass
of mountains, ending In Jefferson
and the Three Sisters. At the lodge,
you're clear up above this wilderness
of greater and lesser peaks, and look
down on It.
(Of course you don't actually look
down on the summits of Jefferson
and the Sisters, but ydu SEEM to.
At tlmberllne on Mount Hood, you're
really up In the air.)
AT Tlmberllne Lodge, there will be
accommodations for all kinds of
purses, from ritzy suites with bath
rooms and fireplaces down to dormi
torles with bunks, where the most
modest of skiers can find lodgings
within their reach.
(Tlmberllne Lodge is to be pri
marily winter sports heaven Win
ter sports, you know, are taking the
world by storm, and If you don't ski
you might as well come right out and
admit that you're a hopeless back
number.)
THE lodee. when completed, will be
turned over to the forest service,
and the foreat service will lease It
to a private operator, mucb aa the
botel concessions at the national
nn-v. K narV eur-vr
limoernne uoagc is a grana sta
ture, and of course a lot of wild tales
are going around about It. It Is said
that It la so magnificent that no
operator can ever be found who can
make a go of It.
Thla writer, for one, would like to
reserve Judgment on that point. It
Is a beautiful building. In an awe
inspiring spot, and the modern
world la nutty about winter sports.
It might knock the spots off of sun
Valley, which has ben about the
hottest spot In the Wt of late
If you can apply the word "hot" to
a winter sports location.
ANYWAY, the first time you're
going past, stop and take a look
at It. Maybe It's white elephant.
But If you don't come awsy im

the beauty of a really unique build

Scores of perjona got their first
sight and taste of frozen foods at
the exhibit In the Elka temple base
ment dining room Friday night. The
spectators aeemed favorably impressed
by this process of preserving fresh
food. , .
The exhibit was the culmination
of the fi2nd annual meeting of the
Oregon State Horticultural society,
held Thursday and Friday In the Elks
temple. The meeting was declared to
be one of the most Interesting and
enlightening ever held by the society
and the committee In charge were
complimented for the program they
had arranged.
The frozen foods exhibit was In
charge of H. Campbell of the United
States frozen foods laboratory in Se
attle, where test and experiments
are conducted In thla relatively new
method of preserving foods In their
original freshness.
Berries, fruits and vegetables were
exhibited and sampled. So many
persons attended the display that
moat of the commodities were soon
consumed.
Mr. Campbell explained the process
of preserving fresh foods hrough
freezing, and answered questions per
taining to the method and how It
can be used in the home.
Mr. Campbell said that although
the process la relatively new, It Is
rapidly achieving a wide use. Fresh
foods are being preserved by -this
process now not only by commercial
companies but also by home-makers,
he said. The time la not far distant
when frozen foods will be a common
commodity tn stores and homes, he
Indicated, adding that a freezing ma
chine for use In the home is already
on the market. Where the home
machine ia not available, the foods
may be processed at cold storage

With 10.000.000 or 11,000.000 unem
ployed In the districts, congress will
not balk long before voting addition
al funds. Here again the only ques
tion Is "how will the money be
spent?"
Among many of the budget-bal
anclng conservatives, a resort to the
chesper dole system will be wel
corned. Public wrks, which are the
most tangible sort of candy for the
votere, will command a large follow
ing. The Uberala will call for more
work relief. At present. It looks as
though the president will get his
way, whatever hla choice may oe.

Radicalism In Armv and Narv
To the Editor:
Who knowa the facta concerning
our army and navy? We are not
Inquiring concerning the number of
men, ahlps or planes, but aa to what
Influencea are brought to bear on
them that would affect their attitude
toward Uncle Sam?
The press keeps us more or less
Informed concerning the Influences
at work In the armies of Spain,
China, Italy, etc., but maintains com
plete alienee concerning our own
army and navy.
No proper military secrete are de
sired: Simply facta that every Amer
lean citizen haa a right to know. Is
the soldier boy being . trained In the
traditional, patriotic attitude toward
our flag, and those things it haa
always stood for, or propagandized
with alien theorlee, quite the reverae?
We know that all democracies are
now aeethlng with radical propa
ganda. Democratic liberty la the
radical's clover field. In other land,
we see the radlcala making desperate
attempts to gain control of the mili
tary forces. Are they making the
same desperate attempts In our own
army end navy? if the publlo knew,
public opinion might effectively ex
press Itaelf.
We also know, that as one of Ita
first acts, the new deal regime baa
tened to recognise Soviet Russia, the
fountain head of radicalism, welcom
ing to thla country a host of Soviet
offlclela and propagandists.
We further know that radical
unlonlam. la now given more and
more liberty and power, regardless
of the rights of Invested capital, and
of a long-suffering public, and that
Bridges, Browder and such, eeem
given a free hand at factories, mines,
camps and locks. Who can belleva
that an administration so friendly
to radicalism In all other fields,
would effectively antagonize It In
the army and navy?
Why raUe thla question? Well. If,
and when, the radicals feel strong
enough to stage a general uprising,
a coup-de'tat, to seize power and
Junk liberty, what would our army
and navy do about It? Would they
try to crush a well organized, nation
wide revolt, to defend principles al
ready openly rldlculea or would they
back the revolt and crush any counter-revolution?
Or would the mili
tary split as It did In Spain, end
repeat here the Spanish tragedy? It
depends on what Is now taking place
behind the curtejn.
So the public ought to know
whether radicalism la permitted to
do Ita work In our army end navy.
Who can lift that veil of silence and
give us the facts?
