Telephone 1900 Social Assistance Costs THE county budget committee now has before it figures which give some idea of what the vast social assistance program has come to mean to the wage earnor rto through direct and indirect taxation, must pay this stiff blUAnvone interested at all in public business should give these statistics a little thought. As prepared for 1938, the public assistance budget calls for federal state county expenditures in this county of $156,000. This is for general public assistance (relief), old age assistance, and aid for dependent children and the blind. Add to that the cost of the public health service, the Door farm and the isolation hospital, and you have a total of something near $200,000. That is what it is costing to take care of persons in this county who are not taking care of themselves. Governor Martin on his visit here last weekend said that the biennial cost for this program in Oregon as a whole will be about $25,000,000. That is about $1,000. 000 a month. The state's population is about 1,000,000, so this social assistance program amounts to approxi mately fl a month for every man, woman and child in the state. If you are a family head, your quota is $4 a month. The governor denied, and with justification in the figures cited here for Klamath county and the state as a whole, that Oregon is niggardly with those in need of aid. It is plain, from these statistics, that it is carrying about all of that burden it can bear. The demagogue politicians, who go about shouting for greater outlays of this sort merely in the hope that they can win votes by so doing, would be sadly rebuffed if the true sig nificance of their proposals were to sink home to the people who must stand the cost. There is no disposition on the part of any conscientious person to deny aid to those who need it. But it is well that the full cost of the social assistance program be realized by the public. It is well that those who pay the bill know they pay it. And it is well that the burden be kept at as reasonable a level as possible. Heading Off Fascism IT begins to be quite apparent that the capital city of the British empire is not a favorable breeding-ground for Fascism. At various times in the past, Sir Oswald Mosleys Fascists have sought to demonstrate their strength by parading in London's streets, and each time the populace has handled them rather roughly. The most recent at tempt brought the British black shirts their worst drub bing to date, with 100,000 citizens pouring out to drive them from the streets. Much as one must deplore violence, rioting and the like, it is hard to avoid the feeling that these Londoners have a fairly sound idea of the way to choke off Fas cism. Sir Oswald will have trouble impressing anyone with his organization's strength as long as the London crowds show their disapproval in such an unmistakable manner. An Armenian named Mejardick Karayan, refused a passport visa to the United States on the grounds of in sanity in his family, shoots and kills the American foreign service officer who blocked his entry to the U. S. Thus Mejardick Karayan summarily disposed of any question as to insanity in his family.

Oct. 11 Tile hand la generally quicker than the eye In Washington. Hut aometitnes It becomes actually ethereal. For instance, the houae rivers and harbors committee made public Its hearings on the aeven little TVA'a bill the other day. What it said makes very dull reading, but what It did not say may make a celebrated Incident. Ostentatloualy missing was any word from the army engtti eera. Ordinarily these non-pull-Ileal experta on navigable atreams would be the first to apeak. If you rumblo around looking for an explanation you will be apt to find that their speechlessness was not self-im-poaed. And you will run into a situation which may be aa Im portant aa all the seven little TVA'S put together. INSIDE STORY The lnalde story of what hap pened is this: The houae committee called on all the Interested government departments for views regarding the legislation. Some peculiar answera were received. Attorney Oeneral dimming, said he pre ferred not to offer any sugges tions regarding legislative policy. Labor Secretary Perklna said frankly she knew nothing about It. The treaaury saw fit to men tion that Its views had "been cleared through the budget bur eau." What the budget bureau had to do with it was not clear to congressmen until they obtained a copy of an executive order la sued by President Roosevelt nearlv two years ago (December 21. 1935). Apparently few ever heard oi It before, but this presidential order specifically says all gov ernment officials must let the budget bureau pass on anything they tell congress, the weather, the little TVA's. The purpose of this restriction Is hinted by the order which adds that any report to congress "shall include a statement as to whether the proposed legislation is or is not In accord with the program of the president." In those words apparently lies the hook on which the army en gineers' views were snagged. They happened to be against the president's program. STRONG OBJECTIONS Someone on the inside who saw the lost report of the engin eers before it was lost, said it made strong objections to the president's Idea. The main objection was that the creation of seven regional TVA's would create .even dif ferent regional policies. It would destroy the national standard and create seven new standards, the engineers thought. The na tional policy had been In their hands since 1824 and never had the breath of scandal touched i, Avint once, and then it was Immediately stifled by Leavenworth for the volved. Tht. report was prepared, sent to the budget bureau, reached congress. i n iMnrn nipit u izr. t, I LnAIVIDLn DHUiau by George) Clark am O 'l Recreation Notes News About Personalities and Events "I'm afraid if my business gels much belter my wife will make me retire again."

The question congressmen are trying to run down Is whether the budget bureau has become a censor. As they see It. no one would object to a certain amount of restraint upon underlings who might run to congress with var ied views upon varied subjects. This Is especially true In view of the varied types ot under lings running around here. They cannot let loose. But if the two-year-old execu tive order Is being used to keep from congress anything unfavor able to the presidents program by .elf-responsible authorities such as the army engineers, con gress might as well abdicate along with the engineers. STILL ONE VP The supreme court action left the Black case Just where It was in the beginning. The ruling In the Levitt-Kelly eases, however, seemed to have a hidden mean I for Mr. Roosevelt. The court mentioned three precedents, one of which indicate, pointedly that the person to bring a suit against Black Is not Mr. Levitt or Mr. Kelly, but Mr. R. himself. The proper way to test Mr. Black's right to his seat, the court seemed to say Indirectly, was to have Mr. R. Instruct the attorney general to bring quo warranto proceedings. This leaves Chief Justtre Hughes still one up on Mr. Roosevelt. It Is now certain that the house committee will report cor rections In the corporations un distributed tax levy, whether the treasury likes them or not. The extent of these corrections will he "the Vinson cushions" in the original house bill proposed last session. Anyone Interested should write his congressman for E FOR IS considering the special problems of health associated with various industries. It Is well to realize that certain general conditions may develop In any in dustry or In groups, of industries. The human body has in it cer tain factors for controlling Its own temperature, it is possioie. however, for the temperature around the body to be so extreme, either in heat or In cold, that the mechanism of the body will not function satisfactorily. There are many occupationa In which heat I. a vital concern In relation to health. If you are exposed to extreme dry heat, you may develop heat stroke. This comes with fever, a rapid pulse, flushing of the skin. profuse sweating and a fall in the blood pressure. Eventually ex posures to extreme heat may cause inflammation of the tissues with their breakdown and de. structlon. Blast furnace and bolter room workers, cooks, laun dry, room workers, worker. In the automobile and chemical Indus tries are frequently exposed to the hazards of heat. Equally serloua with the haz ard of heat is the danger ot sud den changes In the temperatur3. The human body does not adjust Itself easily to sudden seven changes. There are experimen's which show that such alterations in temperature may be accom panied by breakdown in the re sistance of the body to various types of disease, particularly re spiratory disease. Sudden changes In temperature occur particularly ifi worker, in the ice Industry, butchers, candy makers, cooks, drivers, electro type, fishermen, packing house employes and soap makers. Dr. Leonard I). Lockhart. med ical adviser of the great firm In England known as the Boots Chemical Drug company, calcu lated that 20 per cent of the lots of time of workers In that com pany in 1924 waa due to the com mon cold. He was convinced that bad ventilation Is definitely re lated to the cause of colds. The employe works in hot. stagnant air which causes tlf-t membranes lining the air passages to become relaxed and engorged with glood. The germs settle on the membranes of the noae. When the Individual goes out suddenly into the cold air. his resistance It lessened and the germs are well Implanted, ready to set up dis turbances. The hazards of heat are some times not aa aerioua for certain workers as those of the damp The fisherman, the leather pre parer in the glove Industry, work ers In paper mills, laundry work ers, pottery workers, sewer work ers, packing house employes and many others, includlug perhaps also sailors, firemen and Icehouse employes, are regularly associated with severe dampness. For years human beings have recognized that dampness Is a contributing factor to coughs and colds, rheumatic diseases, changes In the akin and certain infectious. The human being, even though he may have evolved at some lime from an amphibious animal, la not adapted to living in exceed ingly wet places. For that reason It is necessary for such a worker to wear high rubber boots and similar protective coverings. In Industry It Is also custom ary to overcome the hazard of dampness to some extent by suit able ditching which carries away excess water. In Industries where water Is exceedingly damaging to the skin as, for example, among washer women, the wearing of rubb.r gloves may be helpful and In some industries it Is customary to oil the akin thoroughly to over come the hazard of damage to the akin from moisture. Any person who Is required to work in an area that Is damp should have a thorough undei standlug of the condition of hlj lungs and of hi. joint, before ne undertake, that a. a regular oc cupation. There seems to be plenty of evidence from the ex perience of workers In Industiy that exposure to constant damp ness la capable of real barm to the human body. ...I mt TWO 4-11 Cllll'S were iu..u...
