A HEN'T you a bit weary of politics and politicians f Haven't you felt that way for some timet Haven't you wondered why it should be, why one man in publio office should be so much like another, when he GETS there. As candidates they differ, but once elect them, and they all seem to slip into a common groove. And this, regardless of party, Democrat, Republican, Independent or what have you. ... ONE gets terribly fed up on such public officials. As candi dates they may be frank, forthright, outspoken and effi cient. But once let them get (he job they are after, and 9 times out of 10 there is an immediate and depressing transformation Instead of being efficient they become interested only in building up their party machine, handing out jobs to faithful time-servers in their own organization regardless of their capa bilities. - Instead of being frank and open and saying what they think, they suddenly become cagey and secretive, and never say any- thing direct or intelligible if they can help it, for fear they might offend Bomeone and lose a vote or two at the next elec tion. The more important and controversial the issue, the more careful such public officials are to side step it, for when the people are divided upon some important question, to back up one side means to lose the support of the other, and hor rorsthat just CAN'T BE DONE; Mr. Office Holder might find himself eased out of a job at the next day of reckoning. W A nine-year-old Chicago boy M buay malting political speeches. He comes out flatfootedly and fearlessly tor a 300-foot stick of candy every month for the young. ...

MAW NATURB BAFFLES rXPKKTS (Country Gentleman) "It chanced the first year that a number of plots were left va cant and these produced a dense crop of weeds. In preparation for tobacco growing, both the so ealled soil-improving crops and the weeds were plowed under 1 and the tobacco was planted on all alike. When the experiment was checked, tobacco following the weed growth was found to yield from (100 to SloO per acre more than that grown after the supposed soil-Improving plants." ...

Times) "Of the Admlnlatratlon's plan to revive business, some bird stuck his head up and said: 'It Isn't priming the pump It's pumping the primaries.' A fel low like that ouitht to have his reller cut off. his social security card canceled and his right to the more abundant life anatched out from under him." The government plans a 1100.000. 000 ship building program for the Pacific coast, to provide fortnightly service to the Orient. This should provide work, snd lively strikes, both In construction, getting the ships started to sea. and en route to the Orient. Oregon remains in the Republican column, but only by a whisker. The ranks hsve shriveled from s 175 oon lesd In I93S. to a mere le.ooo. to date. It seems the Republican party Is prone to vote every wsy but Re publican, and often not at all. In these stirring times. A visiting wealthy nrlton In Los I Angeles, lost 1160.000 In a stud poker gsme. and now requents the district attorney to save him from his folly. The technique of the winner was admirable, but how he ever got from London to California, with so much money without losing It. presents an angle as Interesting ss how he got hold of It In the first place, t '"Just becsuM he Is running asalnit me Is no resson why I sTTCHin MCCT TrtMlfSUT lit and try to blow up ' ' -' mi-i-i lumuni E don't say this is or has been true of ALL office hold ers in this state, or any other, but we do sayMt has been common, all too common. And we believe an overwhelm ing number of people, as a result, have for a considerable time, LONGED for a change, longed for someone in high office, who wasn't a politician and refused to play politics, who per formed his public job precisely as he would a private job, as capably as possible, hewing to the line of wbat he believed to be best for his state and its people, regardless of the brick bats and dead cats that might be heaved in his direction. . WELL, when the people of Oregon elected General Charles H. Martin governor of this state they got such a man, they were given such a longed for change. They got a man who, as a candidate promised to do certain things for this state and has done them, a man who before election was sane and frank and forthright, and since his election, has been precisely the same. It may seem a trifle far-fetched to associate with one so hard bitten, outspoken and two fisted, as the Governor, anything as diaphanous as a dream; nevertheless it is undoubtedly true that to many people here in Southern Oregon and throughout the state, the administration of Governor Martin, has been in a sense the fulfillment of a dream, they had always hoped tor an absolutely fearless, efficient and non-political administra tion of affairs in Oregon, but they feared it would never come to pass. With the election of General Martin it did come to pass. SO what! Just this. It is one thing to get the sort of state govern ment you have always hoped for, it is quite another thing to KEEP it. It can't be kept, by giving the Governor banquets, or shak ing his hand or extending hearty congratulations, (nor by writing laudatory editorials us far as that is concerned!) It can ONLY be done by going to the polls, on May 'Jinn, and marking a ballot, and following that up by a similar vote at the fall election. For yon can't have an efficient fearless, non-political gov ernment, without stepping on toes, on a lot of them. And von can't step on toes without losing votes. And don't forget this, those "sore-toe" votes are going to be at the polls primary day, they always are. And if you and TOU and YOU, expect to have the sort of government you believe in, retained, you and you-and-you, will have to be at the polls also. X short, as hns been frequently stated in this column, we the people, in the last analysis, get just the sort of government we deserve no Better and no worse. For four years we have had good government in this state- in the judgment of this column the best state government in our history, but we won't continue to have that sort of gov ernment, unless we go en masse to the polls at this primary election find vote for it, and at the general election and vote for it again. Certainly Governor Martin has done HIS part. It is now up to the people of the state who believe in good government to do TIIK1RS! Personal Health Service By William Brady, M P.

Address Dr. William Brady, 205 El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. SOME PEOPLE GET H.B.P WORRYING OVER H.B.P. ifi jit Prom the queries and comment In letters from readers It would seem that the quaint popular notion that meat, especially dark meat, yes, and eggs too. cause high blood pres sure. Is still tak en too seriously. It may even be that some doc tors, relics of the nineteenth cen tury, still hand out funny diet lists that warn persons with high blood pres sure off from such rood. Overeating, that Is taking more food than Is necessary to maintain normal weight, growth, repair and physical efficiency, Is probably a common factor of high blood pres sure ( HBP) ... snd If not corrected probably hastens the development of cardiovascular degeneration, heart artery wearing out (CVD)... and pre mature old age. But neither scien tifically nor clinically Is there any evidence that meat, light or dark, or egg, or any other food containing protein (nitrogenous) material Is any more tto blame than any other food material. Indeed the more re cent Investigations tend to Incul pate carbohydrates and fats as the main offenders. When Btefansson and Anderson, tha Arctic explorers, lived for a -year on an exclusive meat diet, under the constant observation and study of physicians, physiologists, patholo gists and chemists. Stefaiuson's blood pressure remained unchanged thru- out the year, while Anderson's which was 140 systolic, 80 diastolic at the beginning of the test was 120 sys tolic 80 diastolic at the end of the test." So any one with high blood pres sure need be In no hurry to cut ac quaintance with the butcher. My blood pressure has been meas ured a good many times In the past twenty or thirty years, but I have never been sufficiently Interested to know Just what It Is. Who cares j about such things? Only the poor j goof who has been frightened Into believing the blood pressure Is seri ous matter and that high blood pressure Is a dangerous state. Many things may cause the blood pressure, to rise above the normal or ordinary, and most of the things that do so are not particularly seri ous. Worry or anxiety may do so, even worry over the height of one's blood pressure. How widely the normal blood pressure for Individuals varies Is In dicated by the figures recorded In reference to the meat diet test Just mentioned. Both men In their prime and In good health; Stefansson's pressure, 105-70; Anderson's, 140-80 to 120-80. Obviously It Is Inaccurate and misleading to attempt to set up any arbitrary scale of blood pres sure according to age, aa so many bunk-merchants who cater to fuss budgets do. People who Imagine cutting out meat or eating less meat reduces blood pressure If the pressure Is too high, ought to be Informed that If the blood pressure becomes lower on such a regimen It la not because they have cut out meat but because they are entlng less salt, which animal flesh contains, and perhaps also less salt In and on their food. Ise that tha operating subsidiaries will bo disposed of. Lest this seem too much a song from Pollyanna, it must be added that amiability does not reign every where among tha holding companies. At least one of tha largest ones Is suspect by the BEC, and suspects the SEO in turn, although outward good relations have been preserved co date. A violent lntro-mural quar rel Is also developing within the utilities Industry, over the control of the new Integrated systems. Finally. It should be pointed out that the SEC's friendliness Is based on the expectation that the holding companies will fulfill their responsi bility to the satisfaction ff the SEC. If, after a year, certain companies have failed to do no. Chairman Douglas will mark off the sheep and the goats and go after the goats with his accustomed toughness. But, at the moment, the Important thing Is that he does not Jong for any such punitive expeditions. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Clabber What can I put in sweet milk to make It clabber quickly?

Tax-Exempt Bonds DF.MOVATj of the tax exemptions of public bonds seem to be urged mainly as r matter of social justice. The President speaks of "s reservoir of tHX-pxem.pt securities in the hands of a very few persons who equitably should not be relieved of taxes on their income." The reform also seems desirable from the viewpoint of fis cal policy, because this tax-exempt reservoir deprives the fed eral and state treasuries of monev thev need for nuhlic mir- poses. But there is also a sound business reason for abolishing the exemptions. As wealthy citizens more and more have tended to "lock up their funds in tax-exempt securities," they have thereby lessened the quantity of funds available for direct in vestment purposes. Money hns gone into bonds instead of going nto business. Perhaps when the income from exempted bonds is liixed like ordinary income, a great deal of idle wealth will be put to productive use in .irivate enterprise. Such diversion of wealth is greatly needed at the present time. There are delieate problems involved, such ss the lowered ti.diket value of bonds when thev are taxed, the effect on in- iiiiiih'C companies and other fiduciary institutions and their clients. There will be difficulties during the period of read justment. But in the long run the general situation should be improved. 1. S.

One day last week, aa previously reported, this corres pondent had dinner with Dr. Hoy Akagl, scholarly Japanese author and lecturer who Is counsel In this coun try to the South Manchuria rail way. We talked for hours and most of It dealt with Par East problems, with Japanese expan sion, with Rus sta. China and world affairs In general. But In report ing this conver sation I omitted one specific story toid me by Dr. Akagl. a charming story of ceremony snd manners, a way of doing things. It seems to me, that belongs in an operetta, and not In a column mixed up with European "Isms'" and talk of war. If our conversntion hadn't token placo over the dinner plates I am sure this story would never have suggested Itself to my companion. But dinner it was, and presently we were discussing the design on the dishes, and that was the way It came about. GEORGE TUCKR Por it concerns the difference be tween the western and the Oriental manner of serving a meal. "These are charming plates." said Dr. Aksgl. "But have you ever no ticed that dinners in America are served on dishes that have the ssme pattern? I mean the plates, the saucers, the cups, the craw bowl. the vegetable dishes, all are of a uni form pattern. And that is very nice. especla.'v If the patterns Is pleaa- Int:. as this one assuredly is. "But In the East. In the Japanese hemes, we like to think that a blan ket pattern does not always make for the utmost harmony. So we do It In this way: "We permit the food Itself to de termine the color and the contours of the dishes. Perhaps ths flrar course may be served In an oval bowl. of light blue In color. The second course may be served In a triangular or an oblong dish, or even one tht is curved like an 's: But the color of the food snd the sape of It al ways determines which dishes we use bust of Mozart, perhaps some manu scripts of Wagner, and. oh, sure, modern American Jazz. Modern Tokyo could not get along without Ameri can Jazz. You see. we Japanese may hurry like mad New Yorkers through the eight-business hours of the day. but In the after hours we like to think we still retain a sense of lei sure, a casual ness that rests us and permits us to enjoy some of the pleasures and beauties of life." The Capital Parade (Continued from Page One,) Comment on the Days News By FRANK JENKINS SOME time when you have a few minutes to spare, ask yourself this question: "Just what are we doing for our children In these supposedly modern and enlightened days?" WE'RE educating them, of course, and their schooling takes about half of ell the local taxes we pay. But we're doing something else. 1 We're loading them down with debt, and thus making their lot harder than ours has been. We're borrowing our way deeper Into1 the hole every day, and saying cheer fully: "Oh hell, let the kids pay this off l" AND they'll have to PAY I A debt of 37 billions can't Just be laughed off. It takes WORK to pay off 37 billion dollars work and self denial. It's a lot of fun to spend like a drunken sailor, happily heedless of where the money Is coming from, but It Isn't going to be so much fun when the time comes to pay up. The paying will be done by our children and their children. IP YOU have average parents, you must 'have heard them say a thou sand times: "We want you to have an easier time of It than w did." Well, we of this generation HAVE HAD an easier time than our parents did. (Or at least our grandpar ents). They built the finest civili zation the world has yet known, and WE are enjoying It. And, generally speaking, they PAID AS THEY WENT, leaving us few debts.

Instead, the SEC has accepted the plans on a tentative basis, examined them, and. If some fault was found, avoided making a definite finding. Where faults have been found, they have been privately pointed out to the utilities executives, and then the corrected plans have been approved. The greater coopcratlveness of such a method Is obvious. Again, the General Electric com pany Is technically xinder the sway of the SEC, since It has some ope rating utilities subsidiaries.
