Inspiration for Today But when ye shall hear of wars and commo- tions, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.—st. Luke 21:9, eee The next dreadful thing to a battle lost is a battle won.—Wellington. The King’s English Students of grammar may have been a little pained, in reading the report of King George’s speech to parliament, to note the rather pecu- liar expression “my government have,” re- peated several times. To those who were taught that singular Bubjects take singular verbs and the similar minutiae of correct speech, it seemed to be! wholly in error. Certainly the text books used in American. schools do not seem to condone it. Yet, it apparently was correct. The king, fn his reference, was speaking of the members pf his government and they certainly are plural. And, anyway, as one wit. remarked, “after Bil, isn’t it the king’s English?” ———— | Is It Intoxicating? | The beer case, appealed to the state su- preme court from Minot, presents some inter- esting problems, chief among them being the! question of whether or not 3.2 per cent beer as - Jegally sold in this state is intoxicating. Upon this issue hinges the corallary questions of whether extra policing is necessary to main- tain order in places where beer is sold and that of license fees. We now have had more than a year of ex- perience with legal beer and the average citi- zen has had opportunity to judge the matter for himself, reach a conclusion as to whether or not beer is intoxicating in his particular case. For the average man, certainly, it is not. Almost anyone can get a mild lift from the modern brew but as for reaching a state of in- toxication it is a practical impossibility. Still, there are exceptions. Some people have such delicate nervous organisms, are con- tinually in such a fine state of balance, that it! takes very little to upset them. In the language| of the day, “they can’t take it.” And where they also are unable to let it alone trouble may result. After all, it isn’t the|? average man who ever causes the police to get fhemselves all in a dither. Effective Politics Good Dr. Townsend often is described as a vague nd naive sort of man, filled with the spirit of sweetness nd light ahd more than a little peculiar in his ways of @conomic thinking but none of these qualities show in his eurrent proposal to obtain action at the next or a subse- q@uent meeting of congress. The doctor, we are told by a news dispatch, cares not who is president and will ask his followers to con- gentrate on the election of congressmen. Tf he thought that up himself the doctor is a good @eal less of a sucker than some persons would have us pelieve. If he didn’t he can at least recognize sound political counsel when he sees it. For congress is the proverbial prey of belligerent ‘minorities. It resembles nothing so much as an un- futored darky walking past a graveyard in the dark, It gees more ghosts than any other body of men and never fails to be afraid. Dr. Townsend plans to score either way. If he can @lect congressmen by actual strength at the ballot box— as he claims he can do—he is pretty sure to get what he wants. If he cannot muster such strength—and it would be @urprising if he could—he still stands a good chance to ‘win by scaring a majority of congressmen into promising to vote for his plan whether they agree with it or not. y i Economic Ballots Whether or not one favors continuance of the corn- hog adjustment program, one thing can be said in its favor. It takes the indirection out of dealing with an im- portant economic problem and lets the people most in- terested express their views without regard to other is- ‘gues or to personalities. The election isn’t binding on ‘anyone but when the ballots are counted there will be no difficulty in determining the general opinion of the pro- ducers on this one issue. - ' The referendum vote has the undoubted virtue of Ptanding on its own feet. It presents no picture of a ‘Pucceseful candidate who is more than a little uncertain wi the virtues which caused victory to perch on his ! Farmers will vote for or against the corn-hog because they want it or do pot want it. If it is it will not be because it has beautiful hair or Voice. If it is defeated it will not be because it ntly slighted the political leaders in Suggs and townships or failed to kiss enough babies or \ " |in the first few million dollars to be loaned in the cam- {electrification of which they can take advantage. TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1935 ehind the Scenes in Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER Government Quits a Committee After Dirty Work at Electrical Crosswords .. . Hint Sabotaging of Rural Electrification ... Now REA Is Ready to Lend $100,- 000,008 for Farm Power ... And Public Utilities Co- Washington, Oct. 26.—(#)—Secretary Ickes is now & member of only 29 boards, committees and commissions. ‘The number used to be 30. Along with Wallace of agriculture and Roper of com- merce, he has resigned from the committee on the rela- tion of electricity to agriculture. The federal govern- ment has completely withdrawn from participation in the committee's activities, The inside story is that certain persons intimately associated with the committee were found to be sabotag- ing—consciously or otherwise—the program of the rural electrification administration. Herbert Hoover had much to do with founding the committee in 1923, There was widespread howling for cheaper and more rural electricity, which power com- panies thought they'd better take in hand. The Na- tional Electric Light association and the American Farm Bureau Federation organized the group, the commerce, interior and agriculture departments came in to give it prestige—and the franking privilege—and power com- panies paid the bills, ‘ AVOID TALK OF RATES Committees, organized in 24 states, were comprised of farmers, subsidized college professors and power com- pany men who ran the show. “Power trust” companies | always insisted the set-up was & brake against cheaper rural electricity, since little was done but research and the rates issue was carefully avoided. ‘The first minutes of one state committee showed: “It is the sense of this committee that rates be not discussed.” The Farm Bureau Federation, after much unpleas- ant publicity as to its friendliness with power interests, withdrew a couple of years ago. Lately, certain instances reached the ears of REA Administrator Morris L. Cooke. In Maryland, a man identified with the state committee was spreading the untrue word that the Maryland public service commis- sion had ruled that all plans for rural electrification proj- ects must first be submitted to the local utility company. In Iowa another was interpreting REA announce- ments and warning that in each case farmers should mentally add 3 or 4 cents as the price of wholesale elec- tricity per kilowatt hour, (It might be anywhere from ® few mills to two cents.) And so on, with the result that Wallace, Ickes and Roper and their departments with- drew. eee MONEY TO HELP REA will announce its first projects very soon. Both private power companies and public agencies will share paign to bring electricity to a few of the 89 per cent of American farms now unelectrified. (From 30 to 80 per cent of farms in the advanced European countries have electricity.) NEUTRAL ALL AROUND Vincent D, Nicholson, chief counsel of REA, re- cently sent this facetious but factual memorandum to Cooke: “The latest applicant for a legal position here answers questionnaire as follows: “Race—White. “Married or single—Yes. “Sex—No. “Don't you think we should hire him, her or it?” (P.8. He, she or it didn’t get the job.) About $100,000,000 is available for loans to public, private and cooperative groups on electrification projects. Strangely enough, the program is all to be self-liquidat- ing and loans are made for 20 years at 3 per cent. Private power companies are taking a new interest in rural electrification as an indirect result of Cooke's pro- gram, even putting up their own money. Although they have previously concentrated on urban areas where higher profits are possible, they prefer to handle projects themselves rather than leave them to public development. and REA propaganda has stirred up wide interest in rural eee PUBLIC CONCILIATOR Cooke is famous as the successful engineer who more than any other man in the last 15 years has exposed in- flated utility rates. But he now holds out the olive branch to utilities, pointing out that cooperation with REA on a fair-profit basis is good business. Incidentally, this may be a good place to point out that, in a New Deal notorious for its lack of good admin- istrators, one frequently hears the wistful remark: “What this administration needs is about 20 more Morris Cookes.” (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) With Other DITORS Talmadge Implements a Grudge (New York Herald-Tribune) Georgia’s ownership of farmlands on which she raises cotton has given Governor Talmadge the opportunity he has sought to challenge the New Deal to mortal combat. On the ground that the rights of his state as a cotton grower have been invaded, he has asked the Supreme Court to enjoin the enforcement of the Bankhead cotton- control law. And the court, there will be general satis- faction in noting, has recognized his petition by directing the sovernMEDy to show cause why the test should not proceed. Two considerations should make this case one of the most interesting of the many now on or the Supreme Court's calendar. One is the widely held belief that the Bankhead act (which prescribes the size of a farmer's cotton crop, taxes him 50 per cent of the price on any excess and provides penalties of fine and imprison- ment for evasion) is perhaps the most vulnerable of all the joints in the New Deal armor. Another is the role occupied by Governor Talmadge as chief opponent and critic of the President in his own party. The Governor has espoused a set of principles in opposition to the Ad- ministration very different from those identified with the late Huey Long, but the manner of his attacks has been much the same, and the result, too. He has been an out- cast hammering at the gates of Federal favor. Into the battle he is pressing, therefore, there is injected a strong personal element always a source of excitement in such affairs, and also one suggesting important political reper- cussions. A victory for Talmadge might well destroy a lot of Democratic fences in the South. Reprinted to show what they ‘We must confess to a certain unholy joy in anticipa- tion of the conflict.

Dr. Brady will answer questions | oth f to health but not dis- brie! in ink, Address Dr. Ih. inet eT Hbaase Rice ad Hast Oe Soooentes & stamped, self-addressed envelope, se : HYPERSENSITIVENESS AND CATARACT It is well known that certain individuals are hypersensitive to specific sub- a stances, peberts ‘as egg white, dog hair, goose feathers, strawberry, shellfish, i) ( nuts, and if they inhale or ingest the slightest quantity of the specific sn stance they are likely to suffer an attack of hives, or asthma, or eczems, OF migraine. This hypersensitivity seems to run in families, tho the manifesta- tions in the child may not be the same as those in the parent's history. For instance the parent may have been subject to asthma or migraine and the hi child may be subject to eczema; nor is the cause of the reaction neces- sarily the same. Only the pecultarity or tendency is inherited. Doctors have a name for it, of course. They call it allergy. Just an old medical custom, applying an imposing name to anything we don’t understand clearly our selves. Keeps parents from asking too many embarrassing questions, An- cient tradition of dignified silence translated into twentieth century bla-bla. ‘Well, anyway, here’s another medical woman stepping up front to report three cases of cataract associated with allergy. Dr. Ruby K. Daniel, Fellow in Ophthalmology, describes her observance of cataracts in two girls each seventeen years of age and a man 35 years of age. One of the girls sought treatment for extensive eczema arf ‘of poor vision. Her moth- te er had been subject to hay fever, her father had been subject to vasomotor . rhinitis (otherwise known as hyperesthetic rhinitis) and a grandmother had been subject to eczema. The girl had mild eczema as a baby and at four a rather severe dermatitis occurred when she handled a dyed easter egg, this der- matitis or acute eczema affecting the lining of her eyelids and of the eyeballs. From six to thirteen she had had frequent hives. At about the age of fifteen she noticed dimness of vision, Now at seventeen she has cat- aracts and can just count fingers with her right eye and distinguish move- ments of objects with her left. Dr. Daniel chose a great date in medical history for her birth—the year I entered the medical profession. And you sll know I'm just a young chap trying to keep five or ten years ahead of the march of medicine. I mention this to encourage young women who wonder whether medicine offers any sort of career for a girl. In the discussion of Dr. Daniel’s report, Dr. C. Ulysses Moore, distin- guished pediatrician and nutrition authority of Oregon medical school, said that he himself might soon be a candidate for a cataract operation but for some scratch (skin) tests made on him by an allergic minded colleague. These tests showed he is sensitive to a number of foods. But altho he likes tune fish and beef steak, he is sure to have conjunctivitis next day if he eats even & little of either, and if he continues to eat the offending foods for three days he develops a new corneal ulcer.
