The Soviet foreign minister caused some resentment through out the land by charging in a Moscow speech the repeal of the arms embargo was "only a mask to cover their struggle for prof Its." This is hitting fairly close for a foreign authority. Sellers of munitions, airplanes, and other vital necessities of war ennnot be expected to put up much of a struggle, Just to break even on the transactions. ... A candidate for councilman in a Pennsylvania town election yesterdry, announced he "would resign immediately If elected." C. Wig Ashpole once held the same attitude. Urged for months by Democratic warhorses to run for the legislature, "and fill up the county ticket," he compro mised, as follows: "Boys, I'll run, nut I won't go if elected!" ... The defeat of the Ham & Eggs plan in California, Is loudly 1 hailed by those who have Hnm 4t Eggs, or know definitely where they can get some. "A Tigard preacher is respon sible for this one: Man is the only animal that can be skinned more than once." (Oregon Journal) Mark Twain said It first, but It still is a ntfly crack. As lrvin S.

Pub li s e A Ham and Eggs Is Done AS everyone know you can't make an omelet without cracking gg- But the people of California yesterday made an omelet out of the Ham-and-Egg proposal, a Ham omelet without cracking any heads. Which i all to their credit. In fact yesterday witnessed the perfect functioning of our highly prized democracy, in two Commonwealths, California and Ohio. And on very much the same proposition, that we can't legislate prosperity by taking money out of the pockets of one group and placing it in the pockets of another. BY vote of nearly two to one, the people of California said "no", It can't be done, and shouldn't be done! By even a larger vote, approximately 3 to 1, the people of Ohio said the same thing. The usual post-election alibis and squawks will be heard from the disgruntled leaders of the defeated forces. These will all come under the general heading of the "common people" have been betrayed and thwarted and again ground down by the forces of corruption and capitalistic grcedl BUT this is not the case. And none know this better than those who maintain it, the shrewd and practical leaders of the "somethingfor-nothlng" crusades. For yiey know, as all competent observers know, that the "common people" decided these two elections, as they decide all elections, where the issues are so clear-cut, and the majorities are so large, elections can't be won without them. WHICH sustains a contention frequently made in this depart ment, but often denied. That these various and sundry proposals to raise ourselves by our financial boot-straps, while appealing invariably to a certain minority, fail to stand up wherever or whenever they are isolated from other issues, and presented clearly and honestly to the American people. And there is nothing obscure about the reason, i.e.: you can fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool a majority of the American people at ANY time. Bring your easy money scheme out into the daylight, and regardless of the ballyhoo, the lure of the hoochy-koochy, or the din of the Kickapoo war dance, the man-in-the-street, the average, unassuming John Citizen, U. S. A. sees through the camouflage, quickly detects the gilt on the gold brick, and gives the hard working "barker" nothing for his pains but a horselaugh. In other words, in spite of certain streamlined and air-cooled improvements, Uncle Sam remains at heart, the shrewd, canny Yankee he has always been, and when anything phoney is pre sented to him and he is given a fair chance to size it up, he refuses to be hoodwinked, In fact no other citizen in the world is harder to hoodwink. Regardless of what may happen he retains his cool head and solid common-sense. AND while everyone knows there are thousands of perfectly honorable and honest citizens, who sincerely believe In these various pension schemes to bring on the millenium, and will no doubt continue to believe in them, the MAJORITY of the Ameri can people don't, and whenever they are given a chance to express their views at the polls, they make no bones about saying they don't. The Lessons They Taught WE trust this double defeat, In widely separated parts, jf the country, will do something to clear the atmosphere, and Induce some of our fellow citizens who are disposed to spend most of their time, looking for the pot-of-gold-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow, to stop and examine their hole card, look into the proposal thHt has allured them for so long, with a little more care and attention. For after all, Is It reasonable to believe, the people of Cali fornia or Ohio, are any less anxious to improve their condition, than the people elsewhere? In both cases extended campaigns were conducted, all the facts pro and con were revealed, and the usual wonderful things were promised. YET In one state the people voted two to one "no" and in the other three to onell Why? Because when the facts of the proposal were made clear, the people as a whole realized that its passage would not benefit them or the state, but injure both. WE realize how difficult it sometimes is to remove a delusion deeply planted, carefully nurtured, and even more Import ant one that answers a genuine need. j But as Governor Olson of California said: "The result of yester- ' day's election emphasizes the necessity of evolving a practical and ' adequate system of old age security that will WORK." I Certainly the Governor of California is no "tool of the money , buroiiB", is In fact, most sympathetic with the purposes of old age , assistance, and extremely liberal in all his social and economic views. i If this pension proposal WOULD have done what Its supporters claimed, certainly Governor Olson would have been the first to favor it. For social betterment is his passion, and such an advance under his administration would have been so clearly to his political self-interest. 1 But he knew the proposal If adopted, would not benefit the state of California, but ruin it, his courageous leadership for the opposition being one of the important causes of Its defeat. SO we hope very much that those who still believe, that trans ferring money from one pocket to another is a method of increasing wealth, will study the results m California and Ohio carefully, and learn the lesson they so plainly tench. Such study, should save them great waste In time and energy, and sooner or later, severe disappointment. Not Smart, Just Dumb "CERTAINLY If the delightful concert at the Holly last night. doesn't assure the success of the remainder of the current musical "series", then nothing can. Before the gifted Viennese, O.wy Renardy appeared, the com plaint was frequently heard that the series represented an effort to put over two unknown and Inferior artists, on the prestige and popularity of one, Marlon Anderson, the famous colored con tralto. This allegation was emphatically denied by those supporting the series, who knew better. But Judging by the ticket sales a certain and sizable skepticism remained. Now those who really appreciate good music and failed to attend last night's concert are kicking themselves all over the townsite and with good reason. They thought they were being smart, and were only being dumb. A more entirely charming violin recital has never been heart in southern Oregon, and we doubt if one ever will be. Those who missed it, missed a musical treat of truly surprising proportions. A word to the wise SHOULD be sufficient. It will take the S. R. O. sign at both the Donald Dickson and Marian Anderson concerts, to prove that as far as "Musical Medford" is concerned, It IS!

CONTAGION We wonder whether anything can be done, writes a reader, to woolen clothing, sweaters, coats, s h i r ts, stock- i n g s, hats, shoes, etc. which have been worn by a person who had tube rcu losis, to make them safe for another person to wear. An other reader advises that a dictionary mignthave helped me to give a lucid dis tinction between contagious and infectious. My explanation, the reader suggests, was merely an attempt to allay fear of infec tion with tuberculosis. As suredly tuberculosis Is a perfect example of an infectious disease, but from what I wrote who in heck would know why? In reply to the first query, ordinary laundering washing with plain soap and water, and ironing clothes that may be ironed, will make the clothing perfectly safe for any one to wear. A day's airing and sun ning, if any sunshine available, will make the hats, shoes, gloves, furs perfectly safe. Dry clean ing will make any clothing not washable in water, safe. There Is no better disinfectant or antiseptic than soap and water, especially hot water. Of course boiling sterilizes any thing. Ironing does, too. Sterilize means to render free from germs. Antiseptic is any agent that diminishes or discour ages the growth and multiplica tion of germs. Disinfection means destruction of disease germs or their carriers (insect or vermin). Infection means invasion of body tissues by disease germs. Contagion is one mode of infec tion, the transfer of infection by contact, immediate or mediate, with the sick. Mediate conta'gion is infection by contact with per sons or objects that have been In contact with the sick. As the reader mentions, tuber culosis is infectious, but actual contact with the sick is not es sential for Infection to occur Like all the other common res piratory infections (such as diph theria, measles, pneumonia, in fluenza, whooping cough, prob ably smallpox and chicken pox), tuberculosis infection occurs, as a rule, by droplet or spray in fection. That is to say, the germs are conveyed from the sick lo the well in droplets (visible or Invisibly fine droplets) of mois ture given off when the patient The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc Washington, Nov. 8. Painless taxpaying is as difficult to con ceive as painless dentistry, but it is the cherished dream of Un dersecretary of the Treasury John Wesley Ilnncs. Under the bcnitfii eye of Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., the indefati.-1 able Hanes is still striving to bring the tax structure's un beautiful realities more into line with his Ideal. I Since Hanes is not after tax j reductions, and the taxpayer s ! maddest moment comes when tie i fills in his chock. !I nt.es efforts; probably have more symbolic than actual importance, nut it is now time to note that, after j many fnlse starts and much mockery, a sound improvement in government business relations, has unquestionably been ; achieved.

This spray carries up to ten or twelve feet when nose and mouth are not screened or cov ered during coughing or sneez ing; up to six or eight feet dur ing laughing or shouting; up to three or four feet during quiet conversation. During ordinary quiet breathing no germs are given off In the expired air. Typical examples of con tagious disease which are prac tically not communicable other wise than by contact are scabies (pronounced ska-bi-ez), common ly called the itch; tinea, other wise called dermatophytosis, ringworm, foot itch, athlete's foot the fungus lives in the lining of shoes or stockings, on the floor where the affected per son has walked; and gonorrhea. Distinction between contagious and infectious cannot be too arbi trary in practice. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Examination .litters Kindly aend your remedy for an amination Jitters. I am about to take a civil service examination. (H. J. K.) Answer Begin two weeks before the examination, taking one grain of quinine three times a day and continue up to the zero hour.

Yet a decidedly new spirit is in evidence. On tht .one hand, most of th major Rooptrveltlan reform have at Inst bwn accepted by business men. Except for th national labor relations act, bmliieM men seem to feel that the new' dral laws have come to On the other hand, at the treasury, the SEC. the .eommere department, the White Houa& Itself and In many other Important governmental cen ters, there Is anew tendency to call Mislneas men Into consultation and make tvr of their services.. It Is foolish to he pollyannalnh; the truce may dissolve Into a furtoua con tro ve rsey tomorrow. But it would oe equally fooltsh to ignore the new spirit above-mentioned. This phenomenon ts best Illustrated by HaneV struggles with the tax problem, for the very reason that hitherto taxes have always been the sorest point of friction between the administration and buslnew men. In the days of Herman Ollphant, tax mutter were approached rather in th spirit of Judge Jeffries' bloody iwtws. The stake, the duckln-stoot and the whipping post were not In use. but the btiMnesa men seemed to feel that Ollphant had discovered some pretty snbstltutex. In the shape of the undistributed corporate prof it tax. the soak -the-rich Income taxes and e strict capital gains tax. 8t.-m:tt!wousl7. congressional opposition strengthened against the O'lphsntine tax weapons, and Hsnes came to the treasury. Moment hau and Hanes between them evolved a theory that, so lone, a the revenue flowed In. it waa well to make the revenue producer as happy as pos sible With this end in view. Hanes and his boas produced their tax re vision program on last year. Thrn, however, the new spirit ot r-;ntimss to business had not fully . .-. ittrd the ad. .tit: titration, and ropec.tily the Whit House. The , president, tttu fearful of the appear ance of compromise, was decidedly balky. Morgenthau had nailed his colon to the mast. Hants waa ready to retlgn If necessary. The Issue might have been drawn, and moder ation banished even from the tresa ury. If senator Pat Harrison and other congressional leaders had not firmly backed the treasury. The contrast between past and present becomes all the ttronger, when you realise that the new Hanea tax plana ara expected to be more or less un opposed. Of themselves, the Hanea plans are technical, ind not overly stirring except to tha business men whom they may affect. Hanea. the real leader la bettering government busi ness relations,, has prepared them after elaborate consultation with more than three hundred outstanding men of every business class. As currently drawn, they call for: Reinstating the old system of con solidated returns by corporations and their subsidiaries, In order to make tax-figuring easier; 3. Establish ment of a policy of asset-depreciation uniform with the policies of tlon uniform with the policies of the regulatory agencies, and 8. Minor amplifications of tha tax laws to make them clearer and to reduce the Innumerable tax suits against tha government. There Is also the usual recommendation. Just for the look of the thing, of reducing Indi rect taxation and Increasing direct to make up. Minor attacks on these proposals may come from several quarters. For example, consolidated corporate re turns were abolished In the first place on the demand of John K. Garner, then In an anti-Wall street mood. But tha real test of the new government-business spirit will be whether the new deal group, previ ously most unfriendly to the Hanea tax theories, decides to fly to the attack. Among the new dealers, there has been caaual talk of war profit taxes, higher capital galna levies, and the like. If thla talk matures, real op. position to Hanea's program Is like ly to develop with It. The tax prob lem Is certainly the most likely sub ject for a major domesttc contro versy. But still, as of today, the auguries for peace appear to be fair ly promising. At the National Capitol With John W. Kelly (Continued from Paf One.) Grants Pass gap, but the cost is so great the commission prefers to use the federal aid money elsewhere. DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is seriously considering suggest ing that congress vote funds to build the military highways without tapping federal aid for that purpose. He contends the sum is justified for national de fense. Inasmuch as the adminis tration will request a couple of billion dollars for national de fense (army, navy and air) in the regular session, it would be a good time to include whatever is necessary to launch the mili tary highway program. There was a prospect of this road program in the lending spending bill of last July, but that bill was sunk. pACIPIC highway la preferred to Oregon Coast highway or The Dalles-Call fornla highway. The coast road Is exposed; the Pacific highway Is between two ranges, the Coast and Cascades. Is protected and troops can readily be moved from It to the roast: The Dalles-California high way it too far from the coast.

In The Day's r News ; Bv Frank Jenkins EDWIN ESPY, executive sec retary of the Amsterdam World Youth conference (what ever that may be) says more Bibles are being sold in Ger many than ever before, despite nazi feuds with the church. It seems to be as true as ever that when people are told they CAN'T do a thing they WANT to do it. IN THE centuries when Christ ianity was proscribed by those in power, it SPREAD OVER THE WORLD. The nazis might do well to remember that. (Test yourself on this one some time: How would you like to HAVE to quit doing all the things you arc told you MUST NOT do?) NEW way to die: A Lewisburg, Pa., farmer picks up a jug of gasoline (mis taking it for a Jug of wine), takes a drink, makes a face, spits the gasoline out on a hot stove, where it catches fire, burning him fatally.

MOLOTOFF, Russian foreign minister, speaking in Mos cow, assails the United States for repealing the arms embargo, asserting that repeal is "only a mask to cover the struggle for profit." BAD! (From Russia's stand point), Russia's celebrated deal with Germany is only a mask to cover Russia's grabbing of the territory of nearby small na tions. From Russia's angle, this is GOOD. It all depends, you see, on the point of view. 1 pRAVDA (heel-dog newspaper whose job is to put out Soviet propaganda) says Britain and France are trying to in- volve the Balkans in war, but Russia will "disturb" this plan. How? By GRABBING the Balkans for Russia, naturally. IF YOU see your neighbor about to be got into trouble by schemers who want his house, you seize the house FOR YOURSELF, thus enabling vir tue to triumph and spiking vice. It's all quite simple. (Unless you are troubled by conscience, which nations ARE NOT). YALE'S COACHES OF New Haven, Conn.. Nov. 8 lP) Yale's football coachlne staff had no employment wor ries today, even if nine erst while first string players were looking for work, so far as con corned jobs with the starting team. A precedent-breaking, mid- season announcement from ath letic director Malcolm Farmer made this definite. "There will be no change in our football coaching," he said. "The coaching staff is very good and will be retained, win, lose or draw." The statement had a quieting effect on the Yale football sit uation which was stirred up Monday when head coach Ducky Pond, angered at the team's los ing 33 to 0 to Dartmouth, lab eled his squad "the worst team I've ever coached at Yale" and demoted nine men from the first eleven.
