Three TVA Opinions THE three opinions in the TVA case are interesting. Chief Justice Hughes wrote the opinion which prevailed; tice Brandeis wrote an opinion concurring with the Hughes conclusion but asserting the case should have been thrown out for lack of jurisdiction Justice McReynolds concurred with Hughes in the propriety of the court's taking jurisdiction but denied the constituionality of the TVA proceedings. In this comment we do not discuss the argument of the three learned justices, but other phases of the.

opinions. The narrowest view (as to tne question involved) was that taken by Brandeis, with Stone, Roberts and Cardozo joining him. That view was that the preferred stockholders of the Alabama Power company had no right to come into court against the directors and the common stockholders and attack the deal made by the directors in selling transmission lines to TVA. It was distinctly a legalistic opinion, consisting chiefly of citations from previous decisions. Naturally there is scant room for literary style in such an opinion.

The Hughes opinion Js broader, though not much- It holds (with the customary citations from preceding decisions to support the view) that the preferred stockholders have a rijrht to sue where they think the dhectors have failed to first term) in attendance was 29." (As noted heretofore, three graduated.) r. "Twenty one students were in attendance, nine of whom graduated." wrote Mr. Waller ot the second term, commencing on November 4, 1867. He wrote: "The attendance in the session of 186S-9 was 17, nine ot whom graduated. "Since then, In 1869-70, 14 attended the term, and seven graduated; and in 1870-1, by the presence of an epidemic of smallpox, the number was still further "One feature of the last session was the admittance of females to the course ot medical instruction." The institution was a pioneer in that respect.

It was not long since such a person as a woman doctor was never Imagined. Another paragraph in the Waller article: "We refer to the 27 graduates that we have thus Tar presented to the state as an evidence of the adaptness and success of our efforts." S. C. Simpson at that time held the chair of medical jurisprudence. He was a brother of Sam Simpson, poet laureate, author of "The Beautiful Willamette." The two brothers at one time were managers and editors of The Statesman.

They were graduates of Willamette university. In describing what is now known as Waller hall and was then called "the new university building," the cornerstone of which was laid July 20. 1864. and which was first occupied in 1867, Edmund Waller said: "It is five stories in hight (he said hight and not height), including attic and basement, and is about two-thirds finished. The first floor contains the chapel, and will comfortably seat about 600 persons.

The second floor contains four rooms, and is occupied by the preparatory, young ladies' and academic department, the latter being under the supervision of two teachers. "The third floor contains six rooms TWO BEING OCCUPIED BY THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, three by the societies connected with the school, the Hesperian, A 1 a and Young Ladies Literary Society, and one as the painting room." He had said: "West ot the chapel are the ladies' reception room, or parlor; the library, which contains between five and six hundred volumes; and the ladies' hall. East of the chapel are the gentlemen's reception room, at present used aa a recitation "y' si protect their interests "in yielding, without appropriate resistance, to governmental demands which are without warrant of law or are in violation of constitutional restrictions." But on the issue Justice Hughes set sharp limits: "We limit our decisions to the case before us, as we have defined it." While his argument is clear and his logic convincing his style is rather labored. In his single dissenting opinion Justice McReynolds, whose home was in Tennessee, takes into consideration not merely the TVA-Alabama Power company contract, but the literature of TVA with its expansive plans for remaking the Tennessee valley. He says he finds no serious difficulty in granting the power of the United States to dispose of surplus electricity "honestly developed in connection with permissible improvement of navigable waters" but as he views the record it "leaves no room for reasonable doubt that the primary purpose was to put the federal government into the business of distributing and selling electric power throughout certain large districts, to expel the power companies which had long serviced them, and to control the market therein." To prove the purpose fo TVA he quotes from its own reports "no less a goal than the electrification of When he throws open the question in its broad implications there is room for some forceful writing, and while his dissent is not so brilliantly chiseled as were the lone opinions of the late Mr.

Justice Holmes, McReynolds does write with a refreshing lucidity. The middle-of-the-road view as to jurisdiction represented in the Hughes opinion is presumably correct (it had a majority in its favor, which settles the matter) but the broad issue defined by Justice McReynolds remains unsettled. How far can congress authorize TVA and kindred agencies to go with the objective "no less a goal than the electrification of America?" Dr. McAfee was one 2-25-36 of founders of medical department of Willamette: (Concluding from Sunday:) The Bits man has before him a biographical sketch of Dr. W.

A. Cusick. one of three members of the first graduating class from the medical department of Willamette university the sketch being in the Chapman book, published in Chicago. It reads in part: "In 1860 he matriculated in Bethel college, in Bethel, Polk county, Oregon In 1864, having determined to make the practice ot medicine his life work, be began studying under the direction of Dr. McAfee of Salem, with whom he remained for two years, and then entered the Toland Medical college at San Francisco, the course of which he completed in 1867.

He then became a member of the first class in the medical department of Willamette university, being graduated In the fall of 1867." The Bits man thinks it should have read, "being graduated in June. 1867," not the fall of 1867. Dr. Cusick, as all Oregon old timers know, was a prominent and successful pioneer physician. He commenced practicing at old Wa- conda.

and continued at Gervais, when the railroad put the overland stages out of business, and nearly all of old Waconda moved to the then boom town of Gervais. Then, for many years, in Salem. The whole of the biographical sketch on Dr. Cusick would be interesting now, and it will appear in this column at a later date. The 18 7 1 Salem Directory shows that Dr.

McAfee then had his office in the Griswold block (now Murphy block southwest corner Commercial and State), and his home on Liberty between Marion and Chion. The 187 4. Directory showed his office south side ot State between High and Liberty, and his home northwest corner High and Trade. The 1871 Directory, the first is sued for Salem, contained an article on Willamette university by Edmund J. Waller, who was a son of A.

F. Waller, for whom Waller hall was named appropriately, for without his efforts the institution would not have had such a building, if. Indeed, it had survived. Edmund Waller had. under a sub heading, some pertinent mat ter concerning the medical de partment of Willamette, including the quoted words that follow: "The number of students (the Health By Royal S.

Copeland, M.D. LOW BLOOD pressure, known to the doctors as la a condition too often neglected. In my opinion it should be given more consideration. It is responsible for much discomfort and may prove to be very serious. It Is like high blood pressure, in that It is not a disease.

It Is a symptom indicating some disorder within the body. Hypotension may be associated with ill health. While some persons with low blood pressure appear to be In perfect health, most of them are under par and easily fatigued. I am often asked to explain what Is the usual blood pressure and what is meant when pressure is said to be "low. The normal, or average, blood pressure varies with age, sex.

weight, occupation and the state of the general health. Aa a rule, the figure one hundred added to the patient's age will give some Idea of what the blood pressure should be. For example, the average man of 40 years will have a blood pressure of about 140. If It is found to be somewhere between 100 and 110 It is regarded as tow. Yet it is probable that 20 per cent of the population have blood pressure below 110.

Various Causes There are various causes for low pressure. The reasons for some cases cannot be determined. Usually it can be traced to some glandular disturbance, to a form of localized Infection from diseased teeth, tonsils, nasal sinuses or adenoids. It may accompany stomach ulcer, tuberculosis or Addison's disease. Sufferer from low blood pressure tire easily, lackiag "pep and energy.

They are listless, complain of digestive disturbances, and are subject to colds and Infections. Usually they have poor health and may complain of dizziness and tainting spells at frequent Intervals. Not every case ot low blood pressure need be considered alarming. Indeed, many who have It are totally unaware of Its presence because they enjoy good health. But if you have some physical disability and are subject to various complaints.

24. WHEN politicians fall out, begin to charge, counter charge, assert, accuse, alibi and deny, it is a pret ty sound rule not to believe either side. If either were wholly truthful it wouldn't be politics and they wouldn't be politicians. THESE reflections are induced "by the recent controver-sy between "leaders of Frank B. Kent Tammany" and Mr.

James A. Farley, the great name caller, orer the ex-Mayor of New York, James J. AYalker. The Tammany authorities publicly advised that Mr. Farley had request ed them to send "Jimmie" as a delegate to the Democratic con vention where the Roosevelt man agement wanted to use him to "wise crack" at Alfred E.

Smith, if and when that anti-Roosevelt Democrat takes his much-advertised walk. This request, the Tammany leaders declared, they had rejected. On behalf ot Mr. Farley it was denied that any such request had been made. IT IS an interesting controversy.

Back in 1932, Mr. Walker's res ignation was forced after a sensational' hearing before Mr. Roosevelt, then Governor of New York. The "Play Boy" Mayor, badly discredited and bitterly angry, went abroad. His feeling toward Mr.

Roosevelt was one of intense hostility. Mr. Roosevelt profited politically by the Walker incident because he conducted the inquiry with great skill, dignity and fairness. But the friends of Mr. Walker did not think so.

They felt he had been "sacrificed" and when the Government initiated an in vestigation into his income tax, he became practically an exile. His stay on the other side was regarded as indefinite. BUT NOT long ago return he did. It was widely stated that the internal revenue case against him had been dropped. High Tammany officials were quoted a few days ago as saying that his declaration in favor of Mr.

Roosevelt "is part of his gratitude to the Ad ministration for not pressing the investigation into his income tax." This is also denied on behalf of Mr. Farley. It cannot, of course, be proved that the Administration has "let up" on Mr. Walker. The Treasury Department may just have discovered its suspicions were altogether unfounded.

And it cannot be proved that Mr. Walker Is now for Mr. Roosevelt out of gratitude." He may Just realize that Mr. Roosevelt at that Albany hearing could have done nothing else and his hat have changed to love. However, it is impossible to keep low-minded people from thinking there was a certain amount of undercover fixing.

The Tammany men who rejected Mr. Farley's request not only think it but openly voice the thought. PERHAPS the abandonment of the Walker investigation so short a time ahead of his home-coming flop for Mr. Roosevelt was Just a coincidence like that of the publicity given the suit alleging that Mr. Raskoi, and Mr.

Du Pont were a pair of conspirators. Just ahead of Mr. Smith's- Liberty league speech. However, these coincidences are sufficiently striking to have a considerable effect Coupled with other little things, they are responsible for the idea which has percolated rather generally in business and banking circles that It Is "unwise" to get "in bad" with the administration. NO matter how meticulously honest a man may be, the point is made that the Internal Revenue Department, if it desires, can cause him an immense amount of costly trouble.

The power to punish is there, even when not used. Not many want to take the risk. Accordingly, somewhat the same sort of disposition is being evinced by business men and bankers, strongly hostile to the New Deal, noted in certain Democratic Senators, equally hostile. They are against it. They feel it vital to them and to the country that It should defeated.

But, Individually, "they would rather not be too conspicuous in the fight at the moment. Their fear is easy to understand. THOSE suits against the Messrs. Mellon, Raskab, Du Pont and others may have been entirely free from any trace ot the punitive spirit. And the Tammany people may be all wrong about the reason the Walker investigation was dropped.

It mav all be rerv meri torious, indeed. None the less, it is impossible riot to note that tie cases being pressed invariably appear to be against men active as leaders in th eantt-New Deal fight, while the one not nr affects a politician who declares himself in line. In brief, these Coincidences breed a. Biwwlea nt fear of the Government heretofore unknown. It isn't a pretty thing to contemplate.

West Stayton Pupils Slake Fine Record in County Spelling Test WSET STAYTON, Feb. 24 IA the county wide spelling test given by County Superintendent Mary Fnlkersoa, the West Star-Ion pupils of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades ranked first in the three room group.

Chor-pening is principal ot the Wesi Stayton school and teacher ot theat three Dark Politics in Washington THOSE who think that civic virtue was so regenerated in 1933 that the powers of darkness have been put to flight, are altogether too trusting. In the atmosphere of change and upset the need was greater for the manipulator, the fixer, the lobbyist, the wire-puller. Thi3 gets proof in the letter written by the Washington representative of the Boeing Aircraft corporation to the president of the Aeronautical chamber of commerce, explaining that Max Gardner, former dem-ocratioational committeeman from North Carolina, had beenjelained on account of his political influence. The letter reads: Gardner, special counsel employed shortly after the cancellation of air mail contracts, was paid $75,000. ar he will remain for which item is includ- i'ln the- bulg.

Personally 1 feel that Gardner can be of more help during this session of Congress, in order to get proper air mail legislation, than he has been to the industry during the past 10 or 11 months. "He came into the picture after the damage had been done. He is a politician of the first water and my observations tell me that In this administration, in order to get things done, resort simply has to be made to the use of politics. "Therefore, Gardner, as counsel for the chamber, I feel, will be more valuable during the present session of Congress than he 'has been Binee the cancellation of air mail contracts last February." While Gardner charges high for his services, and there is nothing to prove-the use of methods particularly heinous, the comment of the author reveals the true color of affairs in Washington, even under this administration "my observations tell me that in this administration, in order to get things done, resort simply ha3 to be made to the use of politics." The word "politics" may cover a wide area. In the case of Mr.

Gardrer.he made it spread to $100,000 worth.

"DAUGHTERS SYNOPSIS la the dining room of a Los Angeles hotel, Juliet Rankin is ap- proacaea Dy uenton Terhune, well known San Francisco lawyer.

Attracted by Juliet's beauty and aloofness, he asks if he might chat with her. Teihuna introduces Mary to Madame Hubert, wealthy beauty expert, whom he describes as the oddest and most interesting woman in Los Angeles, and her handsome, young manager. Thomas O'Hara. OUara is worried over the case of a Mrs. Gottlieb who is in a serious condition at the beauty institute doe to her heart being too weak to stand the ether administered during the performance of a facial operation.

Madame Hubert, however, appears unconcerned. She compliments Juliet on her beauty and offers her a position. O'Hara objects strenuously, saying: "Take nry advice and keep out of it. I don't like you and you don't like me we would never get on together. Madame claims O'Hara fears Juliet is after his job.

He leaves in anger. Juliet wonders why O'Hara affects her so strangely. Then it dawns upon her that he resembles her dead sweetheart. Madame takes Juliet to the institute with the vague hope that she may be able to help her with Mrs. Gottlieb.

Dr. Von Guerdon, the house specialist, tells them Mrs. Gottlieb cannot live much longer. Juliet hears the dying woman calling her erring husband for whose love she had undergone the dangerous operation. Juliet sends for Gottlieb and upbraids him for bis conduct.

CHAPTER Gottlieb gave his face a circular mopping. The smell of perfume from his handkerchief reached Juliet and, at the same moment, he became aware ef it himself. With a look of mingled surprise and disgust he dropped the scented thing into the modern waste basket. "Where, he asked, with a grotesque little touch of dignity, "is my wife? Please take me to her at once." Juliet went down the corridor with Gottlieb trotting at her heels. At the proper door she stood aside and let him enter.

The nurse, who was reading a book, jumped up. "He can't come in here!" But Gottlieb already was In the room more, he was on the side of the bed and his short arms were trying to embrace the still form under the white covers. "Liebchen liebchen lieb-ehen It was not, strictly sneaking, a miracle but undeniably Mrs. Gottliebat the sound of that loved voice opened her eyes. Juliet and the nurse, both watching, saw a faint tide of color creep back to the ashen face.

The lips moved stiffly, but only Mr. Gottlieb was near enough te hear what they uttered. "If it's her husband I suppose he has- got the right, said the nurse guardedly to Juliet; "not that it matters now." Juliet, without a reply, left the room. There was nothing: more she could do to aid the stricken couple. Already she had done more than Von Guerdon with all of bis Heidelberg training and science.

There was the sound of voices down the corridor and moving towards them Juliet came to a partly open door, which revealed a sumptuous office. The furniture inside was lavish but masculine. Evidently this was OUara's sanctum, for he was planted at his desk while Madame Hubert quarreled at him unceasingly in a gloomy voice. There was a glimpse, too, of von liuerdon, sum and meticulous, oesiae a -long open window with a rich Egyptian cigarette in his fin gers. Juliet entered.

Hostility glared out at her from under O'Hara's blaek brows. "Well?" ha demanded. -WelL if Mrs, Gottlieb has to die it's coins? to be in her husband's arms, because that's where she is now, said Juliet quietly. She included the three of them in her steady ironic gaze. "1 dost know whether I've saved you any money or not" "1 dent know either, returned O'Hara, "bat I wanted to get Gott- uen aere mrseir in the first "Well, you've had your own way and you should be satisfied," Madame Hubert told him, shrwgging.

We've not had any of the advantages of Heidelberg; fortunately. But when you take a healthy woman like Mrs. GettHeb in her early fifty's and send her to the grave because you trim un her jowls well 1" von Guerdon smiled slightly.

"My dear O'Hara," he said coolly, it's an established fact that three- The white uniformed nurse appeared prows utted a tenths of one percent of all women over fifty under general anaesthet ics fail to recover. That a uni versal fact and no odiom can possibly attach to the surgeon." The tail blonde physician, with his perfect classical profile, turned to Juliet with a faintly malicious smile. "Dont take too seriously what Mr. O'Hara says," he remarked, with a veneer of pleasantness. "It was he, I believe, who selected me as surgeon-in-chief out of two hundred applicants.

The white uniformed nurse ap peared in the doorway. Von Guerdon's brews lifted a trifle- "Dead?" "Oh no. Doctor, but I wish you'd 2 me at once." The voice was agi-ted. "She's wanting to get up and go home. Her husband keeps talking to her and the pulse is al most normal Madame Hubert's black eves sud denly became so alive that they seemed to snap and crackle.

"Wasnt I right, though!" she cried shrilly. "I knew from the be ginning that that Miss Rankin was smarter than both you men out to gether. It has always been so my genius for choosing the right people at the right timet" The next day, and for many thereafter, the Institute world of fascination for Juliet. In the first place Madame Hubert had established her in a mauve-toned office on the ton floor. Not a skimpy business cubicle but a palatial room with silk curtains stirring in the breeae, a velvet carpet, a small feminine desk and a settee with graceful chairs to match, all done in expensive and subdued fabrics and lacquered design.

In the ordinary world ef business no such offices exist: they are to be found only in motion picture sets and the fertile dreams of interior deco rators. But this intense flare ef mods aWrnu applied not only to Juliet ofBcebut to the whole Institute. of a Even the noiseless elevators contrived to resemble the interior of jewel boxes. Wherever possible, daylight had been rigidly excluded aad substituted by a softened glow of amber and gold bulbs a vague and flattering light, which, coupled with the subtle perfume in the air and the soft carpets and the deference all attendants, contrived to bless Madame Hubert's patrons with a sense of importance and the illusion that human beauty was indeed attainable within these magic walls. Madame Hubert, discussing Juliet's employment, had fairly beamed with good will.

In the matter of salary her generosity was surprising. "I pay the best wages in the pro fession and I charge the highest in the doorway. Von Guerdon's trifle. "Dead?" prices, she explained. "My people are all the best, clients and employees both.

O'Hara told you I was a miser, bpt that was only his irritation He gets a thumping good income and so will you if you prove worth it. Meanwhile I want you to inspect everything and find out what it is all about" So Juliet's trim fierure slinned in and out of divers suites and depart ments, upstairs and down and around strange corners into a bewildering existence of facial creams and ointments, reducing cabinets, masseuses, hair-cutters, manicurists, wavers, cosmeticians, and an army of uniformed hostesses moving about with a procession of silver tea-trays, magazines and expensive cigarettes. Juliet was. of course, familiar with beauty parlors but nothing so enormous and impressive aa Madame Hubert's. By noon, more than- a hundred women were beina creamed.

steamed and polished; women who could afford it and women who eouldnt; brainy women and stupid women; young, middle-aged, and old women: debutantes, brides, wid ows, and sweethearts. And, stransest of au. hordes of young and lovely women who had emerged from their morning baths triumphant with all of Nature's un improvable beauty, flocked here in the firm faith that some mysterious art would improve upon perfection. There were places, too, where the clientele never penetrated bookkeeping Tooms, bottling and packing rooms, employees rest rooms, laboratories; and a whole floor of. clerks and stenographers handling the mail-order business.

In all ef these departments word had spread, aa it always does, that new important executive had joined the firm.
