Rogers How Not to Become A Dictator SCARCELY a year ago, social credit, as ad vocated by a colorless British engineer, Major Douglas, was something less than a minor issue in Alberta, Canada. Then, within a very few months, the idea sprouted wings and talons, seized the public imagination, and carried it into the polling booths with stupendous enthusiasm. The “rabbit from the hat” trick served further to prove the starring role played by a “front” in inaugurating any radical social or economic change; for the social credit government in Al berta is solely responsible to dynamic William Aberhart for its popularity. The difference between Douglas and Aberhart is the difference between abstract, theoretical thinking, and concrete, solid promises. In its briefest and simplest form, the plan of Major Douglas was this: The production of goods does not create suf ficient purchasing power to enable people to buy them. Therein lies the cause of all our economic ills. The cost of producing goods can be divided into two classes. Class A comprises the money paid in wages, salaries, or dividends. This is pur chasing power, ready and available to purchase the goods. But Class B includes the money paid for raw materials, bank charges, depreciation, taxes, etc., and this money does not pass into the hands for the purchasers, and is not avail able to purchase the goods. In a rough way, this is the meaning of the famous A and B theory. Present methods of production must create unsaleable surpluses. In the past this has been avoided because surpluses were exported to under-developed territories. The 20th century has few such areas, and is saturated with goods. The remedy is to be found in increasing pur chasing power, as represented by Class A, by the amount comprising Class B, but not by inflation. You must arrive at a “just price,” by tabulating manufacturing costs according to the A and B theory, that is, the price which ignores the B class costs. Compare the just price with the actual price and you arrive at the amount of money which a manufacturer should receive if he is to reduce his sale prices to the level where the w; ges, salaries and dividends* will buy all the output. There are three remedies, the national divi dend, the rebate system, and the suspense ac counts plan. In the first, you work out the A and B theory on all production with a country, and figure out a national just price. Then you adopt a state dividend which will increase national purchasing power by the difference between actual prices and the just price. Aberhart saw clearly that the voters could not be expected to run a temperature over a plan so stated. We Mortgage For the Future JN the five years since 1930 the people of the United States, through their government, have mortgaged themselves a tidy fifteen billion dol lars worth in an effort to vanquish the depres sion. Prospects for a budget surplus in the immedi ate future are far from rosy, for instead of plan ning for a surplus at some future time, our budgets provide for deficit on deficit. It has al ready been estimated that for 1936 our govern ment will go in the hole a mere three billion dollars, with expenditures attaining 110 percent of the total income . The principle behind these vast expenditures is that they cause stimulation of activity in com merce and industry; a step toward the return of normal business conditions. On the surface there may result a temporary boom, and many hail it as the long awaited Messiah of normal times. Is prosperity still just around the corner? Provided that such spending is desirable and that it does result in temporary activity, a glance at the budget reveals that the traffic will not bear much more. Business gladly accepts govern ment assistance and clamors that it is being betrayed when funds are withheld. The American people soon will be asking of the government fewer "good breaks” and more good "brakes." Infirmary Lists Five New Patients Five new patients were added to the infirmary list yesterday, and four were released.

Exist ing theology demands our action. We must open our minds to all kinds of ideas and not be fright ened by the mention of "red.' We must come to understand the pos sibilities for a new order and get into the game.” Communists Intelligent Russia was cited as concrete proof that socialism under control of the proletariat is feasible. Mr. Spofford criticized the New Deal from the left, predicted that Roosevelt would be re-elected, re ferred to fascism as capitalism gone nudist, and said Communists were very intelligent and earnest people whom Christians could well pattern after. A discussion on the possibilities of the organization of a local Epis copal church league for Industrial Democracy followed the meeting at the home of Rev. Howard R. White. Students Plan • (Continued from Page One) a large number, only eight or nine will be chosen. The convention which the cho sen delegates will attend is spon sored by student volunteer move ments, and will probably attract 2000 students from Canadian and American colleges. Some of the more prominent speakers are the Archbishop of York, a leader in British student circles, Toyoliiko Uagav.a, Richard Huberts, moderator of the United Church of Canada, and W. A. Vis ser T. Hooft, general secretary of the World’s Student Christian fed eration. Other speakers are John R. Mott, Robert E. Speer, Samuel W. Zwe mer, Eacz Camargo, Mrs. Induk Pak, of Korea, T. Z.

A racket of the Haves perpetrated on the Have Nots. So when the pipe of peace is going the rounds inhale not too deeply, for though the tobacco used is a popular brand it leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. Just a Minntr Now be careful in your inter pretation of this. It is not intend ed to mold your judgment for you, or to arouse in your mind doubts as to the essential good of peace. That is our dream, yours and mine, to have “peace on earth, good will toward men." But that is our in dividual dream, not the reality of governments. Our present eco nomic life is such that war takes a definite pattern in it. Peace to day is merely a transition between wars. Take cognizance of that It u- gruu reality act of our making to be sure, but an inescapable evo lution of the ages, their gains, some wish to make their gains, some svi shto make gains. They are the ones going to war, or about to go to war. But it is the former who by their meth ods for the continuation of peace make it a racket. This is all in terms of govern ments, not in terms of individuals, and it is to be hoped that no one puts the question, “Why, don't you believe in peace? Don't you want peace in the world?” I do. But “let there be light, and lo there was light.” Yeomen Head (Continued from One) “If and when the amendments concerning the independent execu tive office pass, I will appoint a committee to define the meaning of 'living organization' and deter mine who shall be eligible for the position," James Blais, student body president, announced last night. A light vote is predicted as in terest in the election has been lax this week and the usual spirited political activity has been dormant. (lani|)iis Show (Continued from Page One) oral Northrup.

Skull Scrubbing We’ve heard lots of jokes about “getting your head fixed,” but imagine our surprise to find out that such things can be done. At the University of California, two surgeons treat cancers and infec tions of the skull by actually cut j ting out the bad section, scraping, : boiling and sterilizing it. In can jeer, the renovated piece of booe i may be clamped back in place at , once. In case of infections, how j ever, the surgeon has to wait un til all traces of infection have dis j appeared from the brain cavity. | (We like that phrase, “brain cavi j ty.” It reminds us of Clark), i Sometimes it takes weeks for the infection to disappear, but when ; it does, the cleaned and polished j area of bone may be refitted into the opening. We can't help wondering if they nail the bones back onto the skull, j or if they use glue. Can any blos I soming young medico give us a bit I of advice along this line? Address all communications to "The Marsh | of Time ward 7 Lane county psychopathic hospital." * * * I And while we’re talking about medicine, it probably wouldn’t hurt to mention the fact that 2,500,000 operations are performed in Amer ican and C anadian hospitals every year.

Now the last frontier is gone, and at last the country must shift to adjust itself to the people. Can this be done without changing the consti tution ? A moot question. Very moot in deed. May we assure you that we will absitively not be embroiled in a political beef for being so un wise as to air our views on the subject.

We are mighty indebted to the Marshmallow for printing the name of his “cubralibra cocktail” yesterday, since when he intro duced it the other eve it sounded strangely like “'s -coodeleeger cod dle.” Strange, isn't it? Here’s one of the delicious little surprises that life has in store for ns all. Some time ago a gentleman called Bernard Klicks took a psychology book out of the reserve. He was sit ting in the libe reading the thing and ran a little over his time. The attendant stuck his head in the room and trumpted in a loud voice, “Will Mr. Iilicks please return ‘The Unadjusted Girl!’” There was a minor riot.

In an effort to supply talented youth with a central institution devoted to the art of arranging, radio broadcast ing, composing, and playing jazz, Paul, considered America's fore most orchestra leader and inter preter of music in the modem idiom, has turned over to the col lege a comprehensive collection of scripts, arrangements, orchestra tions, records, and instruments il lustrative of the development of the modern band. A condition of the gift is that it shall be of access without charge to every qualified person interested in the study of American music — from the negro's combining form of English ballad and jungle rhythm, through the eras of rag time, fox-trot, and “hot brass,” to the blue notes and suavity of to day's dance tunes.

Goal Is Set (Continued from Page One) Plans for a library, student union building and many other such projects for which the pledges were originally made were not completed, except the fine arts museum, and since these pledges can legally be renewed, Mrs. Ger linger hopes to raise part of the needed fund in this manner. Dean Karl W. Ontliank, also a member of the faculty library com mittee, is completing a leaflet to be sent to all potential donors of the fund. The pamplet will contain a halftone etching of the room it self, and an article illustrating the purpose and a description in detail of the browsing room. There will also be a short letter explain ing the request for donations and asking suggestions for a name for the memorial reading room. Infor mation will be sent “key” people of organized alumni groups to orient them with the need for suf ficient funds to furnish the reading room. A contribution from the alumni holding association has been made to help meet the expenses of car rying on the campaign. A series of winter lectures, also a repetition of former means of raising funds, is to be held in Port land under the direction of the University Mothers’ club there. These lectures, at which University faculty members will speak, arouse interest in the University and, as Dr. Ernst remarked, “have appetizing value.” The committee of the Friends of the Library is composed of faculty librarty committee members and prominent townspeople.
