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

something about business and finance and taxation, too.

SIX QUARTS
Approximately one-eleventh of the
weight of a hralthy body la blood.
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

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

It must have been six month ago

Comment

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

(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

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.

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

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
