Al tt t lain K rtapraeanUtlwo wrrw An Excellent Start CHABLKS Sprague made a good start in his gubernatorial race when he emphasized Oregon's problems are economic rather than political. That ia exactly the case. Democrat, Republican; New Deal, Old Deal; Supreme Court, Reorganization; the Wage and Hour Bill and what have you! they have exactly nothing to do with the situation in Oregon, nothing at all. The great need in Oregon is a return to prosperity, the utilization of our natural resources, the extension and develop ment of our markets, and, This can be done if we stop fighting among ourselves and get together, labor and capital, Republican and Democrat, old and young, rich and poor, with one objective in view, the revival of business, and full steam ahead for the betterment of Oregon and everyone in it. A PARTISAN of no faction or clique, committed to uo ism or cult, but pledged to a square deal for all, Mr. Sprague is admirably fitted to lead mich a common sense, non-partisan and sorely needed movement in this state. As he well says: "The best form of social security that can be imagined, is a good job at good wages." The big problem, of course, is HOW to get the jobs. Well, if the people of Oregon will forget personal and PARTISAN politics for a while and concentrate upon the development of their own state, in a constructive, harmonious, common-sense fashion, such jobs will be forthcoming, and our long neglected state slogan, "She flies with her own wings," will have some real meaning for a change. So good work, Charles! Keep it up! You're on the right track, don't let the "old guard" poli ticians switch you off, and all should be well with you and your cause, this coining November! No Exceptions THE Treasury Department of the United States is preparing a measure to outlaw tax exempt securities and compel, federal and state employees to pay taxes on their incomes like other poor mortals. Both things should be done, the pity is they were not done many years ago. With the finances of the country in the critical shape they are today no securities and no individuals should be exempt from bearing a fair share of the overhead. All individuals who have surplus money to invest should pay a certain fixed percentage of that money toward the sup port of their government. And all individuals who enJoy an income of a certain amount, should pay an income tax whether they work for an individual, a company, a state, or the gov ernment of the United States. There is nothing logical nor just in the idea that persons fortunate enough to be on the public payroll should be exempt from taxation or that hundreds of million dollars worth of wealth should be exempt. As far as the finnnces of the country are concerned, the nation is at war, and should be placed on a war bnn.a. At such a time there should be no exemptions whatever, as far as taxation is concernod everyone with an income, or an income-paying security, largo or small, should pay his or her share to support the government, and see it safely through, one of the most serious economic crises in its history. ' Et Tu Rufus? WE ARE sincerely sorry for Rufus Holman. There isn t a moro conscientious and sclf-rifihteous public official in the stutc, than our honorable State Treasurer. And he knows something about business and finance and taxation, too. Yet he felt compelled the other the Towtisend Flan. We know it But no doubt Rufus decided action he would be beaten by Willis Mnlioiiry, his rival for the U. S. Senate, who has. And being human Rufus doesn't want to be beaten, if he can help it.

The quantity of blood In the body of a healthy adult as deter' mined by meas urement and by estimates Is from 10 to 13 pints. Drinking water and other fluids, even In large amounts, dilutes the blood very little. The water Is quickly passed thru the kidneys i ..e ! and some of It Is temporarily stored In the tissues of the body. If as much aa five quarts of water Is drunk In a period of two hours. It Is all completely elimi nated within the next 4 or 6 hours, through the kidneys and through the skin and through the lungs as water vapor, without any appreciable dilution of the blood having oc-; curred. j If large amounts of fluid are lost from the body by sweating, whether the sweating is induced by some form of bath or by hot weather or by exercise, the blood volume Is pre served by taking fluid back Into the blood from the tissue spaces. Weight temporarily lost by sweating Is made up within several hours, certainly within a day, by increased Intake of fluid either In drinking water or in foods that contain considerable water. A solution of approximately two ten spoonfuls of common table salt, : sodium chloride, In a quart of pure water is of nearly the same saline , strength as the blood. This Is prop-1 erly called physiologic salt solution (sometimes Improperly "normal" salt solution). Such physiological salt so lution Is fairly palatable If taken slowly. If a quart Is drunk In an hour or less there Is little elimina tion of water for many hours. But if physiological salt solution Is In jected Into a vein elimination of water through the kidneys Is prompt ly Increased and all of the water so Injected Is passed out of the body within three hours. The rea son for this difference la not clearly understood. Men working In extreme heat and, sweating freely are likely to suffer cramps if they drink as much water as they crave for relief of thirst. The water falls to fresh them, too. But If they mnke It a rule to take some salt with each drink of cold water, the water not only refreshes but they are much less liable to Man About Manhattan By OKOIUIt rtCKDB NEW TORK I missed Les Fnrrlng ton v,t:en he was In New York. And that's too bad, because Los doesn't get to New York very often. Why he doesnt I can not say, because he has a whole airline to play around with, and when a man with an entire fleet of ships at his disposal can't get from St. Paul to New York more than once or twice a year, that's comeu ilng I am unable to figure out. fefcORGfi lucres Unless, of course, he happens to dislike New York. And If that's true you can't hate him for that. You can't get mad at a guy for not liking a town. Not really, not the way you can hate a fellow for wearing a hat you don't like. Because- towns are Important only when you get tied up with them through people. Hats are another matter. It must have been six month ago that I wrote Les a letter and asked him to notify me the next time he got to town. I thought maybe we could have some corned beef and cabbage togfithcr, maybe, or spend a pleasant afternoon talking. And he said he would. He wrote right back and said, "I'll call you the moment I check Into my hotel." But that moment wasn't a very happv one for me. That was the day I was laid by the heels by Ol' Man Bronchitis, and by the time I was back on the high road, he waa bark out there In St. Paul. I'm certainly sorry I didn't get to ace this tall (six -foot-five or is It six?) friendly fellow who's general traffic manager for Northwest Air lines. Traffic Is fiis business.

Hemophilia My wife's elder brother was "bleeder." So far as we know he was the only one In the family so affected. How can we tell whether she has any such taint or will pass It on to her children? a. T. Answer If the family history is not unknown, the chances are that It Is not the familiar deficiency nt all. The subject is more thoroughly discussed in the new edition of "Blood and Health" Just issued. For copy send ten cents coin and stamp ed envelope bearing your address. True hemophilia, the bleeder state. Is transmitted from parent to child but generally females have It In a latent, not active form, and pass it to their male children In the active form.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THE fish editor of The Dallea 1 Chronicle haa been wandering around In the piscatorial back alleys. and emerges with a grist of advice for the meat fisherman. Hla advice concerna crapplea. aunilah. catfish, big-mouthed baas, carp and grayling and what to do with them after they are caught. All of these fish, he saya. abound In the Columbia and the Deschutes. (Down here In Southern Oregon, of course, we think we know what to do with these varieties, but pollte- nesa restrains us from going Into details. Besides, our garbage cana are apt to be full of something else, leaving no room.) , STILL. It'a Interesting to learn what The Dalles fish editor found out on his slumming tour, and we might as well start with catfish. Catfish, he warns, must be skinned, which la a messy Job, and bealdes they have a disturbing habit of flopping around In the frying pan. They do, Indeed. And lt'a dlacon certlng to have a catfish that Is supposed to be dead and done for climb up over the ege of the skillet and look at you with a pleading ex pression on what would be lta face If you hadn't cut lta face off and given It to the cat some time before. Still, 1( must be admitted that a catfish la fairly good eating If you can get the darned thing to lie atlll long enough to get cooked all over. AS for carp, the Inquiring re porter concedes f r a n k l.y and openly that they're good only for manure, and says people up In that country put them around the roots of trees. We've suspected a time or two that we detected a faintly odd flavor In a Dalles apricot, and never knew before what It was. BUT here'a a tip on grayling. We'll tell It In hla own worda: "At least one local fisherman declarea that people who discard grayling are passing up a fine dish. He first bolla the fish until the flesh may be stripped easily from the bony Btructure. Then. with all bonea removed, he frlea the grayling until It la a rich brown. The result la a meal lit for the gods, this sportsman asserts." This writer once heard a man state that a leather boot, If boiled long enough and then fried to a crisp turn, Isn't so bad If one Is Just hungry enough. Maybe It works the same way with the grayling. ET'S close this dissertation on a 1-J philosophical note. Pish like these are easy to get, and anybody who wants 'em can have 'em. But the fighting rainbow takes WORK and skill, and It'a the rain bow that everybody wants. Life la like that. Buys Luxuries CAPE TOWN (UP) South Africans are drinking more, smoking more, reading m:rc and becoming more mu sical. The facts are revealed from trade statistics. The Capital Parade a (Continued from Page One.) this prenomenon. which has enraged the White House advisers In charge of the purge. For the last six years, so far aa federal pap and patronage were concerned, Jimmy Byrnes has been the only senator from South Carolina. He la quoted here aa saying quite frankly, "I'd be a fool to help elect someone I'd have to go shares with." Informed observers stat that, although the president is not ex pected to enter the state. Byrnes wants to hurry south to meet him, to make sure he keeps out. Just to make things worse, the state political machine is split wide open between Johnston and Brown. Johnston, originally the favored White House candidate, haa the run-of-the-mlne atate employees. But early in his administration he had such a row with State Highway Com missioner Ben Sawyer that he called out the national guard. Sawyer's highway department controls any--where up to 40,000 votes, and Sawyer would rather cut off his right hand than help Johnston. He has already told emissaries of the White House that he's for them against Cotton Ed, but for anyone In God's creation against Olln Johnston. Hla present candidate Is Brown, Thus the White House's best chance Is for a run-off primary, with Brown as Cotton Ed's opponent. Then some such political fixer as the assistant to the attorney general, astute, genial Joe Keenan, can come down here, , nag Jimmy Byrnes into line, concentrate all available strength behind Brown, and perhaps make the purge stick. If Johnston should run second. Sawyer will be an ob stacle. But It may be that such in ducements aa the White House can offer, plus the argument that at least he will get Johnston out of the state, will persuade the embat tled highway commissioner to forget his feud. Meanwhile, old Cotton Ed Is mak ing the best of his opportunities. Circus politics are his forte, and cir cus politics go down well here. It may be that Cotton Ed could pull himself out, even without organiza tion backing. At the 1936 convention In Phila delphia, he walked out when a Negro preacher offered an opening prayer. He Is now using this inci dent to raise the white supremacy Issue. He Is strong on southern womanhood, higher cotton prices, and the evils of the C. I. O., which goes down well with the farmers. And he never falls to tell his hearers that the president cherishes a well concealed affection for him. If the voters wanted a sea-llon playing the "Star Spangled Banner" on the clari net, Cotton Ed would probably do his best to satisfy them. COTTON COUNCIL 10 BOOS! SALES MEMPHIS (UP) Cotton men who formed a national council to get the Industry out of the red, develop new uses and expand the domestic and world markets, have outlined five objectives: Find proper and greater markets for cotton Maintain research activities for new uses. Obtain favorable legislation. Advertise extensively the known uses of cotton. Increase foreign cotton shipments. At an organization meeting In June, which was attended oy several hundred farmers and tracers from seven southern states, Oscar John- j ston, Mississippi delta planter, was j elected president of the National Cotton Council. In accepting the post, Johnston I pointed out that previously there had been no group to speak for the in dustry In obtaining legislation and j working for new markets and use. 1 "There is no one in Washington : accredited and authorized to speak for cotton," Johnston said. There has been no concentraon of effort In behalf of cotton producers. When legislation affecting them comes up In congress, legislators have no one to consult to get the real views of the producers.' Johnston said the council would perform that function. The organi zation, he said, will have national ' headquarters In Washington, state j organizations In cotton producing sections, country sub-dlrlslons and : community groups. t "When we do this we will have ! the voice that we need so badly not only In legislation but in other af- I fairs. The voice of cotton has been j as soft as Its lint and a low as i Its price. We must speak through j a magnavox if we are to be heard 1 Johnston la former head of the cotton division of the agricultural ad ! Justment administration. He said lack of foreign market? ' was the most serious problem facing j cotton fanners and added that the I DEPENDABLE BUILDING ADVICE at BIG PINES LUMBER COMPANY Phone 1 crop would stage a comeback "only through the development of recipro cal trade relations by which con sumers of each nation may freely trade upon an economically sound basis." The cotton council, he said, will serve aa the voice of the cotton farm ers. It will urge congress to continue the reciprocal trade policy and will oppose tariff walls "which thwart trade." -i Flight Time Med ford and Jackson County history from the Mies of the Mall Tribune 10 and VJ years - ago.
