Gammons Begins Sentence
VALLEY City Times-Record)

John Gammons, former secretary
Of the state industrial commission
begins his sentence in the state peni-
Tertiary today, after . long court
fight in which he has exhausted every
resource to escape the penalty Of
seven years behind the bars. He was
convicted Of using interest on public
funds for hts private purposes, taking
the returns from various funds de-
posted In the banks and putting them
IN his personal account. The state
supreme court reviewed his case and
approved the verdict Of the lower
court.
This = . case In which the long
connection Of the accused with the
dominant party In state politics could
not save him from the penalty Of
wrong doing. We have heard much
about our courts being influenced BY
political considerations and it Is the
custom to raise such cry when po-
utical figures are convicted by due
process Of law before courts chosen
by the opposite party. It was done
when william LANCER was convicted
and multitudes Of his partisans still
assert that his conviction was the
result OF the decision Of political
minded judges. We have never be-
ueved this to be true. It was, as we
zee it, conclusively proved ct Langer's
trial that he was guilty Of the charge
brought, and we do not believe that
the judges gave the slightest heed to
the political ideas represented by
either side.
But the LANCER partisans are frank
" out to defeat those members Of the
supreme court who ruled against
LANCER. A part OF the philosophy Of
the LANCER crowd Is to elect judges
who are known to be friendly to the
political ideas which they are urging,
With the Implication that when elect
ed these judges win not render q de-
cision uafavorable to the party which
chose them. It Is thoroughly vicious
kind Of principle, and II 1t Is fol-
lowed We shall have q more sorry
mess than that which Is confronting
Us ct the present time. Things may
be very bad In state affairs but II We
are sure Of an unbiased court to
which appeal may be taken the final
remedy for the evils Is stu In reach.
The LANCER party Is apparently afraid
OF an unbiased court: but the final
adjustment Of our situation depends
largely on keeping the courts free
from the suspicion Of political bias.
Both the LANCER verdict and the
Gammons verdict indicate that the
supreme court dismisses all thought
o. politics when 1t sits in q case. and
We should reflect the three who are
candidates. They have proved them
selves worthy.

CLINICAL TEST FOR V1TAMIN
A DEFICIENCY

Many laymen and some physicians
have no practical conception OF Vi
tamins. Neither have I, but I'm get
ting onto things about them from
time to time, and here Is one thing
that I think interesting because it is
practical. The theoretical or re-
search literature on vitamins is now
Of prodigious extent and, speaking as
q lowbrow browsing, think most Of
1t Is the veriest hooey. Wading
through the current vitamin litera-
ture one gets the impression that too
darn many scientists and not enough
artists are engaged In laboratory
study. It might be possible to get
some practical knowledge out Of
lot Of this animal experimentation II
q real physician, q practitioner who
has had some years Of experience In
general practice, were assigned to
collaborate in every such experiment.
Night blindness. that is. extraordi-
nary difficulty in seeing after twilight
or dusk or when the day Is very dark,
is now recognized as one Of the char
acteristic effects Of deprivation or
large deficiency Of vitamin A. Other
effects Of avitaminous A diets are
xerophthalmia (dryness, liberation
and inflammation Of the eyes,. The
tear glands as well as the salivary
glands 60 dry too. Immunity to up
per respiratory infections Is impaired
or lost. Calcuu (stones, graveD form
In the kidneys. Sinusitis and middle
ear infection are common.
These foods are the richest natural
sources Of Vitamin A: Fresh RAW
milk, butter, eggs, liver, kidneys, VEL
LOW and GREEN foods In general,
such as carrots, bananas. sweet po-
tato, squash, pumpkin, orange or
orange juice, yellow corn meal, let
tuce, spinach, watercress, turnip tops
beet green's. onion tops, parsley, celery
leaves, radish tops.
It seems that while outspoken
avitaminosis Is comparatively rare IN
this country, moderate avitaminous
states are exceedingly common but
seldom recognized, simply because we
have no specific test for these incom-
plete or partial deficiency diseases.
We have only one way to determine
whether q given departure from
health or efficiency IS Of avitaminous
nature, and that Is the therapeutic
test. That means feeding or admins
tering adequate rations Of the vitamin
or vitamins in question and observ.
ing whether prompt amelioration fol.
lows. II the trouble Immediately be-
gins to subside and presently disap-
pears, then it is fair to assume that
1t was avitaminosis.
But suppose the victim Of incom-
plete or mild avitaminosis presents no
symptoms which warrant suspicion.
That may be, Of course, II deficiency
Is only moderate or temporary. or
again 1t may be that the physician
IS not sufficiently informed about
aWtaminosis or not alert for the
manifestation Of such conditions.

is developing into a juicy world scan
dal. Thursdays revelation that Eec-
trio Boat, foremost maker Of SUBJ
marines In the United States, has
close agreements" with firms In eight
foreign countries was q bomb Of far
reaching effects. Fabulous commits
sions received by Sir Basil Zaharoff,
Europe's mystery man, and high rank
ing politicians Of numerous countries
were only to be expected. Big bust
ness almost invariably depends upon
the creased" palm for its more i'm
portant deals.
But the disclosure that the U. s.
firm has alliances in almost every
nation for the purpose OF promoting
sales-through war II necessary
this, II it can be definitely proven
should give this old world the worst
shock 1t has ever had in peace-time.
When private enterprise will stoop
to pitting the people Of one nation
against those OF another, knowing
that success will mean death and SUI
fering to thousands and millions Of
human beings, any arguments against
government control Of that business
sound extremely weak.
It's great service that Senator Nye
and his committee are performing for
potential human cannon fodder" Of
the world. What action this nation
and others may take on the basis Of
evidence produced remains to be seen.
Probably the same war racketeers who
succeeded in manufacturing wars viii
succeed, by the same high powered
methods, in putting the lid back on
the expose. But the investigation Is
helping to make the folly Of war so
obvious that this generation at least
Is not going to forget.
The League Of Nations, in q recent
report, stated that $4,000, 1000, 900
year IS being spent for war material.
With the entire world IN the throes
Of depression, this staggering expen-
diture would seem to be the height Of
Righteousness. This IS not q pacifist
conclusion; but when people and gov
ernments both are bankrupt or nearly
50, certainly the danger Of foreign
invasion Is lessened to . degree where
national preparedness" should be
secondary to individual well being.

brought by the Transport Workers
Union that the company had fred
two workers without good reason.
The traction officials bluntly

The union is demanding that
