The DuvalI Pardon

Those LEGISLATORS who may be tempted by the nat
teries or favors of privileged interests to betray the
peope-and many legislators taking this atti-
tude--shoud contemplate John Duvall in his prison
cell.
Duval is asking the Governor to forgive the fine OF
900 assessed when he convicted Of violation OF
election laws in order to get into Office.
Now, says the former mayor, he can not pay the
fine which was a part of his sentence and he dis
likes the idea Of doing what less noted prisoners would
be compelled to do-to stay longer in his prison
Gone are the friends who once fawned upon his
smiles and took his favors Gone those who once
used him for their own purposes. Gone are the
svcophants who once did his bidding without question
Gone are those who led him to the mountain tops OF
glory and used his easy virtue for their own purposes
There were days only few brief years ago, when
he was the autocrat OF this city and when his wish
was the law In those days he consorted largely with
those who had designs upon the public till and who
wanted special privileges
The plunderbund often whispered fairly tales OF
future favors in his in order to get what they
wanted and they got ias far as Duva coulo give IL
TO them He thought only OF his ambitions and MS own
advantage and little of the public good
out of power, these favoreeeekers forgot him and
II is news that his once large fortune has dwindled
that he can not pay the fine of sum which once was
TO him matter of no Importance.
The fate of Duvan is the working OF the law
of compensation. He rose to political power on the
wave of hate aroused by the Ku-Klux Klan which
aroused enmities and destroyed good will The
same punishment which the Khan administered
to those of different race and creed hovers over
the jail where Duvall sits in silence
Those who serve privilege and hate must expect
hate in return Real friendships never based on
evil deeds. Those who took the favors of Duvan
held him in contempt even as they smiled their
thanks They do not visit him in his prison cell.
The dollars that came to him so easily in other days
as easily slipped away.
Just why any one should take any special interest
in either getting Duvan out Of jail in keeping him
in is not easily expainable He no longer matters.
But up at the statehouse men young in public
service might ponder on his fate when tempters
to whisper in their ears His fate is that of all who
betray the people who trust them.
Lonely, broke, forgotten-and four years ago an
autocrat. What pityl

California's Immortals

Next Sunday California will unveiI statues of two
men chosen to stand in statuary hall in the nations
Capitol as its two most eminent citizens It is in
terestng to note that in aterialstic era California
chose. not Marshall dscoverer of gold nor any of It's
other wealth builders, but two preachers.
One is Fray Junipero, Sierra, Franciscan friar who
saved California from puritanism and Russian con-
quest by building its first Spanish missions The
other is the Rev. Thomas Starr King young Unitarian
minister, who in four years residence in California
saved the state from disunion and slavery by force
Of his remarkable eloquence and spiritual fervor
FIR Sierra was an humble man famed for his
piety and love Of justice. DR.. King was scourge OF
oppressors. prophet of freedom.
If their bronze statues could speak, one wonders
what these two Californians would say about their
state today that holds in prison two innocent labor
ites Mooney and Billings admittedly upon the word
of trainers dope addicts and confessed perjurers

Editor Tines-Tax and increase
OF tax is all we are entitled to hear
from this legislature, apparently. If
the proposed state income tax does
go through, as the senate has
amended it, the whole citizenship
OF Indiana should pack up their
possessions (what few are LETT and
leave the state.
All the wage earners who still
have jobs have had a cut in wages
Of from 10 to % per cent, and still
the senate lawmakers" want to
take another 10 per cent from us.
A widow with two dependents has
a lot of a show keeping a home for
her family, working every day each
year, paying taxes on her real and
personal property, then pay q new
tax Of 10 per cent Of her already
shrunken wages and have anything
left for food and education, doesn't
she?
All decent citizens of this tax
ridden state should register serious
complaint on a legislature attempt
ing what this one is.

HEALTH SERVICE
Most Foods Better for Cooking

Next, heat develops odors and
favors which are beneficial to the
appetite and which favor digestion
by softening fiber and by coagulat-
ing protein.
All this discussion establishes
again a point of the utmost i'm
portance in forming scientific
. judgments; namely, theer is no one
track rule in science.
A good diet will contain some
foods cooked, because of the fact
that cooking helps them greatly;
other foods raw, because cooking
harms them.
A certain amount of unlocked
fruits and vegetables is essential in
a well-balanced diet.
Under modern conditions Sof
civilization, man being what he is
today, the majority of foods e
quire cooking or preparation be-
fore they are suitable for human
consumption.

as rule. only handful of this number is present


transacting the business Of the house.
1t is impossible for 435 members to function eff
fectvely in legislative body, and domination inev-
tably has fallen to the hands of few. Sections of
the country not represented in this ruling clique have
far less representation than they would have with
smaller delegations in the house.
When the gavel rule is abolished, as now appears
likely, the house will become more cumbersome than
the senate. If it Is not abolished, there is no way
TO prevent government by house oligarchy unrep-
resentatve Of large sections Of the population and
completely contrary to the spirit Of the Constitution
The house adopted an admirable policy in its re-
apportonment bill Of last year. providing for auto
matte redistribution Of membership according to shifts
in population, with further increases in member
ship.
If 1t abandons that policy Cow and admits more
representatives so that no states shall have smaller
delegations than at present. it probably will be i'm
possible ever to limit the membership.
There only two statesnanlike ways Of meeting
the reapportionment problem. One is to retain in
the laws the system adopted last year The other is
to cut the membership Of the house in half
The second plan probably calls for sacrifice be-
You'd the capacity Of human nature. The first plan
calls for nothing but conservative common sense.

Views of Times Readers

Editor Tines-I notice that Rep
resentative Braughton asked after
roll call Saturday to be passed up
temporarily before voting, as he
said he had been out of the house
during debate and wished to learn
exactly what was at issue"
He is the representative who
thinks so much more of his private
job than Of the states business that
he had phone installed on his
desk to call him to his private bust
ness when wanted. Probably that
was why he was out during debate.
Being taxpayer, some of my
money is being paid to Braughton,
and I would like to have him stay
in the seat where the people voted
to have him sit.
am glad he was made to vote,

IT SEEMS TO ME ~ H BEoSS

After all, a great director must
act like a great director. If he just
said, Fine and dandy" the first
time scene was shot, people
around the place might get the idea
that the whole thing was too
blamed easy.
After all, it has been said, al
though fallaciously, that genius is
an infinite capacity for. taking pains.
And naturally every director wants
to be a genius if by any chance he
isn't established in that status al
ready.
But, for all the fuss and feathers.
1 am convinced that the people in
Hollywood know their business a.
great deal better than most of the
satirists imagine.
After all, a large portion of the
bitter and scornful comment has
come from authors who came to
Hollywood and performed poorly.

Little Federal Help

| GTOCKS are. coming back, in
~ dustry is coming back, and trade
is coming back. Eventually, the
American people will climb out of
this economic nlire, just as they
have out of others.
When they have finished the task
and have time to take a hind"
sight, they will discover that it was
largely through their own efforts
and that they got very effective aid
from the national government in
the hour of their most desperate
need.
Perhaps it is better that they
should have done the thing that
way, but it doesn't square with the
grandstanding by which they were
misled so gloriously last fall.
Whatever else may be said of
President Hoover. he has been con-
sistently conservative, sitting tightly
on the lid and refusing to admit
there was any occasion to open the
federal treasury, except where sheer
ruin made it inevitable. The people
have had no illusions as to where he
stood from the beginning.

Also, people are going to be sur
prised at the total amount Of money

Congress started out with the
idea of assisting those farmers who
had been ruined by last years

unemployed.
Thus far, the farmers have been
loaned about 100000.

They are a division of the Appa-
lachian system in Coos, Grafton
and Carol counties, New Hamp-
shire, and noted for their bold and
picturesque scenery, and for the
health and pleasure resorts that
have been located there. They
cover an area of about 1900 square

Tt has been established that heat
ing for long time, even at moder-
ate temperature, in an open vessel
will decrease the content of vita
minis, particularly if the solution in
which the food is HE'D has an al
kalina reaction.
1t since has long been estab-
lished that contin led cooking Of a
vegetable in water will cause the
salts TO be dissolved. out of the
vitamins into the water, so that
some Of the valuable constituents
are poured down the sink.
From the opposite point of
view, the eating of raw foods may
be dangerous. In the first place,
q raw food diet does not appeal
to the sense of appetite and an
appetite for raw food has to. be
cultivated.
In the second place, heat will kill

.SAYS::

Ut. WORTH, Tex, Feb. ~
L After it's all over, many vet
Grams will admit that President
Hoover was right. SO will many
congressman and, above all else,
many taxpayers.
This was no time for the United
States government to make a large
sum Of money available for those
not in actual need. Neither will
such action do much to overcome
the depression.
The fact that President Hoover's
veto message found congress deaf
ultimately will reflect more on the
latter than on him. He merely has
been swamped by a wave of pas
sing enotionalisnn, while congress
has made mistake, of which the
American people will be reminded
every time they get a federal tax
bill for the next few years.
The essence Of the situation was
brought clearly to light when the

stitute, which would have provided
loans for needy veterans. II relief
had been the object, that substitute

INVEST OF THE HUDSON.-For
wv years I have belonged to the
eastern, and more particularly the
New York, group which made con-
slant fun at California. This atti-
tude of mine was based on ten days
in San Francisco some years ago
and the reports Of travellers.
Once or twice a year some friend
of mine would return from Holly
wood, and after we had rubbed him
with snow to restore circulation and
poured hot drinks down his throat
he would sit up and tell us blood
curdling tales Of his experiences.
I'm sorry to say it, but I gravely
suspect that some of my friends
lied. California, at least the south
ern end Of it, is both a lovely and
gracious country, and Hollywood is
an excellent place in which to spend
a few days of your vacation.
The fact that most Of the people
I know here have to be on the job
at and toll all day takes nothing
from my fun. It is highly enjoyable
to loll around a lot with no respon-
Sibility.
