WOULD SAVE MONEY.
HOUSE Bill No. 253, introduced
by Representative Stockdale
and read first time on January 30,
is the outgrowth of the delibera
tions of a committee of the Oregon
Taxpayers Equalization and Con
servation League. This committee
met in Salem last May, and what
they did is given in this issue of
the Gazette Times. While the ar
ticle is lengthy, it should be care
fully read by every taxpayer, be
cause later, if the bill should be
come law, which it likely will, we
of Morrow county may be called
upon to put its provisions into force
here. As the principal points of the
proposed legislation are set out in
the article referred to, we shall
attempt no detailed description
here. From our perusal of the bill
and its provisions, we are ready to
endorse the bill. Read the report
of the League committee; and as
suggested there, do not be too hasty
in passing judgment There is a
possible saving to the taxpayers of
the state of something over $500,
000 a year in taxes for school pur
poses should the bill carry and be
adopted. It means some revolu
tionary changes in present meth
ods of conducting schools, but they
all appear to be to the advantage of
both taxpayer and the educational
system a saving in costs and an
increase in efficiency of the schools.
Don't fail to read the article re
ferred to.
THE FARMERS' PLIGHT.
Autocaster Service.
ALL over the United States, al
though more noticeably in the
great central area between Pitts
burgh and Denver known as the
Mississippi Valley, there is a spirit
of unrest among the farmers which,
as we view it, foreshadows mater
ial and perhaps radical changes in
our social and economic scheme of
things. The demand of the farming
population of America for relief
from the double burden of high
taxes and interest on mortgage in
debtedness has never been so wide
ly and efficiently organized as it
seems to be now. In spite of every
thing that has been attempted in
the way -of relief, farm commodity
prices continue at low levels. It is
not to be wondered at that the "far.
mers' holiday" movement is spread
ing. Why should any man continue
to produce something that he can
not sell, or that he can sell only at
a loss?
When the farmer is getting no
income from his farm he certainly
cannot pay his debts or the interest
on them, nor his taxes. The move
ment for a moratorium on tax and
mortgage payments is growing rap
idly. It may have far-reaching ef
fects. We have a feeling that in
the long run it is going to be better
for creditors to give their honest
debtors time, than it is for them to
seize property which cannot under
present conditions earn the interest
on its cost. In the matter of taxes.
inability of property owners to pay
has already brought about a situa
tion in several cities and a good
many counties, in which public ex
penditures are necessarily being
curtailed to the lowest possible
minimum.
As we jee it, the whole world is
going through a drastic economic
readjustment which will, we be
lieve, wind up by a very widespread
and general compromise on all
existing debts and a fresh start for
everybody. Much of our trouble is
due to the fact that such a high
.percentage of our agricultural pro
duction has been in the past for the
export market That market is
rapidly diminishing, as one country
after another finds ways of supply
ing its needs without importing.
We think that the forced econ
omic reorganization which is now
under way must result in the re
duction of our agricultural produc
tion to our own internal demands,
That this will benefit every grower
of crops or livestock is unquestion
able. The most prosperous farm
ers in the world today are those of
France, who produce only enough to
supply the needs of the French peo
ple and are protected by their gov
ernment from competition from
outside. Under the French plan of
strict limitation of wheat acreage
French farmers got better than
$1.50 a bushel for their crop in 1932,
It seems to us that we ought to
be able to apply at least as much
intelligence to our own agricultural
problems as the French do to
theirs.
BUY AMERICAN.
National Republic.
X TEWSPAPER dispatches the oth-
IN cr day to the effect that a party
of Germans were coming to Amerl
ca to buy $5,000,000 worth of Ameri
can foods has caused one interna
tionalist to say that when these vis
ltor hear about the "buy Ameri
can" movement they are apt to go
back home empty handed and "buy
German.
This is typical of the argument
put forth by Internationalists to the
effect that Uncle Sam ought to
spend his money abroad instead of
at home. The fact is, that the "buy
American" was the last of the na
tional purchasing movements to be
started in the leading nations of
the world. There have been "buy
French," and "buy German" move
ments in existence for a long time
And the "buy British" movement
of old John Bull is the most com
plete and most perfect now in ex
istence. If you don't believe It just
pick up a British magazine and
look over the advertising. Every
civilized nation is now attempting
to produce at home as much of
what it consumes as is humanly
possible.
It is only in the United States
where there is much opposition to
a "buy at home" movement. The
reason is that we have so mahy in
ternational financiers and clackers
here who are more interested in
the welfare of Europe, for selfish
reasons, than they are in the pros
perity of the United States.
It is not to be supposed for one
moment that representatives of
German concerns are coming to
the United States to buy fruits and
other foodstuffs which could be pro
duced in Germany. They are com
ing for the things they cannot pro
duce at home not for near beer
and pretzels.
No nationalist and protectionist
expects to buy American produced
goods only. He is intelligent enough
to realize that a great many things
we use, cannot be produced in the
United States and must be bought
abroad. He has no objection to for
eign trade of this kind. What he
does object to is the purchasing of
foreign commodities which can and
are produced on American farms
and in American factories, very
dollar which we spend for a com
petitive foreign article means a dol
lar less for the American producer.
What is the use of sending a dollar
to Europe in the hope that the man
who gets it may send it back and
spend it here, when by buying an
American piece of goods we can be
sure that the dollar is spent here
and goes to the upbuilding of Amer
ican agriculture or American busi
ness?
Sure, let us buy abroad. But let
us only buy those things which we
can t produce at home. Most of
non-competitive articles which we
import are luxuries. We can buy
more of them from our foreign
friends if our own people are pro.
ducing and selling in the great
American market the things which
are produced in America.
FOOLING THE VOTERS.
Autocaster Service.
fNE of the difficulties which our
National and State govern
ments have to face, whenever a
question of taxation comes up, is
the fact that the great majority of
voters do not regard themselves as
taxpayers. This is more particular
ly true in the cities than it is in the
rural communities. The great
mass of industrial workers, owning
no property themselves, have had
the belief impressed upon them that
taxes are paid only by the rich.
And this belief is carefully cultivat
ed by a common type of politician,
who poses as the "friend of the
common people" and carefully con
ceals the fact that every tax is al
ways passed on to the ultimate
consumer.
The reason why efforts on the
part of taxpayers to obtain a re
duction in public expenditures and
relief from the burden of taxation
have such a hard time of it is fre
quently that the politicians and of
ficials concerned are afraid of the
non-tax paying voters, to put it
bluntly.
We think that this is all wrong.
It results in putting too heavy
burden upon a few, and too light
a burden upon the many. We
think that methods of taxation
which would make every citizen re
alize that he, too, is a taxpayer,
would eventually result in a great
deal more interest in and attention
to the conduct of men in office and
the extravagance of public officials
There was a time in the early
history of our country when none
but taxpayers were permitted to
vote. The politicians have changed
all that, and so long as they can fool
the average voter with the idea that
he Is the beneficiary, without cost
of a government which is entirely
supported by the rich, they can
keep themselves in their jobs.
Deep Plowing Just Waste
In Some Parts of Oregon
The old proverb that admonished
the farmer to plow deep if he was
to prosper does not stand up under
the test of science in some sections
of Oregon specifically in the Co
lumbia basin wheat belt In fact,
there are many ways one may
spend extra money in cultivating
or packing the soil that will return
nothing but exercise for the trouble,
according to the latest scientific re
port on wheat production.
The newest "textbook" on wheat
production in the dry land areas of
the northwest is in the form of a
new bulletin issued by the federal
department of agriculture of which
D. E. Stephens, superintendent of
the Sherman County branch exper
iment station at Moro, is the senior
author. Experimental results over
a 17-year period recorded in it con
stitute a ready guide to the cheapest
and most efficient methods for
growers to follow during this per
iod when it is difficult if not im
possible to show a profit even with
the most efficient methods of pro
duction. Concerning plowing, the
bulletin shows that in 17 years
yields on 10-inch plowing averaged
only .7 of a bushel more than on
five-Inch plowing.

A Conception of God
In Jesus' great acts of courage he
was the successor, and the surpass
es of all the prophets who had gone
before. We have spoken of the
prophets as deficient in humor; but
what they lacked in the amenities
of life they made up richly in vis
ion. Each one of them brought to
the world a revolutionary idea,
and we can not understand truly
the significance of the work of Je
sus unless we remember that he
began where they left off, building
on the firm foundations they had
laid.
Let us glance at them a moment,
starting with Moses. What a mir
acle he wrought in the thinking of
his race! The world was full of
gods in his day male gods, female
gods, wooden and iron gods it was
a poverty-stricken tribe which
could not boast of a hundred at
least Along came Moses with one
of the transcendent intellects of
history. "There is one God," he
cried. What an overwhelming idea
and how magnificent its conse
quences.
Moses died and the nation car
ried on under the momentum which
he had given it until there arose
Amos, a worthy successor.
"There is one God," Moses had
said. "God is a God of justice," add
ed Amos.
That assertion is such an elemen
tary part of our consciousness that
we are almost shocked by the sug
gestion that it could ever have been
new. But remember the gods that
were current in Amos's day if you
would have a true measure of the
importance of his contribution. It
was the high privilege of Amos to
proclaim a God who could not be
bought, whose ears were deaf to
pleadings in judgment between the
strong and weak, the rich and poor.
Years passed and Hosea spoke.
His had not been a happy life. His
wire oesertea nim; neartDronen
and vengeful he was determined to
cast her off forever. Yet his love
would not let him do it He went
to her, forgave her, and took her
back. Then in his hours of lonely
brooding a great thought came to
him! If he, a mere man could love
so unselfishly one who had broken
faith with him, must not God be
capable of as great, or greater for
giveness, toward erring human be
ings? a God so strong that he
could destroy, yet so tender that he
would not!
One God. A just God. A good
God.
These were the three steps in the
development of the greatest of all
ideas. Hundreds of - generations
have died since the days of Moses,
Amos and Hosea. The thought of
the world on almost every other
subject has changed; but the con
ception of God which these three
achieved has remained in control
of men's thinking to this very hour.

The much-praised Canadian sys
tem of government control of liquor
does not appear to accomplish all
that the wets claim for it It ap
pears that the young people not
only manage to get liquor to drink,
but they may visit the beer parlors.
A dispatch from Victoria states
that the Attorney-General, in, his
efforts to chasten the beer-drink
ing boys, Instead of sending them
to jail," directs that they be spank
ed. Two youngsters from Kam
loops considered it -the smart thing
to do to take their girl friends to a
beer parlor in the town of Chase.
The Attorney-General thought it
would be more effective to have
them spanked than to send them
to jail. It is. of course, common
knowledge that children may enter
the so-called restaurants which Bell
beer with their parents, and the
whole family by buying a small
amount of food may purchase and
drink any quantity of beer.
The most frequently heard argu
ment for the repeal of the 18th
amendment is that it cannot be en
forced, which is an acknowledge
ment that government by the peo
ple is a failure and that the law
breaker has the right to dictate to
the government. The next most fre
quently heard argument is that the
government has no right to dictate
to any man what he shall or shall
not drink. Now, no one who has
any considerable intelligence will
be fooled by this argument Any
one who has read the amendment
knows that there is not a word in it
which dictates to anyone what he
shall or shall not drink. The pur
pose is to stop the exploitation of
the persons who are inclined to
drink. It strikes at the legal ex
ploitation of those, who by skilful
advertising, can be persuaded that
it is smart to fasten upon them
selves a debauching habit that they
cannot break. It is in the Interest
of freedom. Its purpose is to pro
tect the weak from becoming slaves
to a habit encouraged by those who
desire to make money out of the
sale of booze or the materials used
in making booze.
The liquor problem will always
be with us, but can be reduced to
the minimum where no good citl
zen will consider it smart to sell
out to the liquor dealers, thus mak
ing the dealer richer and the drink
er poorer. IS anyone so simple as
to believe that the problem will be
solved by making it easier to obtain
liquor? ' If it was real sympathy
for the persons who think they must
have some kind of alcoholic drink,
these fellows who are making the
big noise about prohibition would
be advocating a law which would
permit every man to make his own
liquor, placing restrictions only
upon those who made it to sell for
profit But, do they advocate such
a measure? They do not. The
proposed beer measure will make it
just as much of a crime to manu
facture home-brew as the Volstead
act does. And the penalty will ap
ply to all liquors containing more
than "one-half of one per cent of
alcohol by volume." Taking away
the prospect of making money out
of booze and the saving of taxes
by the wealthy and the howl about
prohibition will die out at once,

PRACTICAL IDEAS
I read this week in a popular
medical magazine, that the people
had been "fed up" on health sug
gestions in public print from so
many hundreds of writers, that
they had become tired of it all
just such a mess of theories on
diets and nutrition, and the conduct
of one's self that Mr. John X. Pub
lic had about decided that there
was nothing in any of it!
I am sorry of course, for such a
state of mind to come about Most
every written article by a thought
ful, competent advisor is worth
reading and thinking about these
days. You can take the part of
it that applies to you individually,
and brush the rest aside.
Now, here's a practical thing. Ev

thousands possibly millions of dol
lars are spent annhally by our
splendid American women, just for
cosmetics, "skin foods," and blem
ish removers. Let me give you my
remedy rather rule for keeping
a good romplexion.
When you leave your bed In the
morning, visit the lavatory the first
act before you dress. Wash the
face, neck and even the upper chest
with warm water' and mild toilet
soap. There are many good brands
of the latter, I emphasize a mild
not a strong soap. Use a soft.
smooth towel for this part, wet with
the warm, soapy agent
After completing this act, turn on
the cold-water faucet and seize
your rough towel. Go over the parts
you have cleansed, with brisk rub
bingthe glow will surprise you,
after a few treatments. Don't pro
long the cool friction rather hur

In time this will give you the fine
complexion you like to have. If

Prosperity ... at Chaska
My friend, James F. Faber, city
editor of the Valley Herald, pub
lished at Chaska, Minnesota, sends
me a memorandum of the claim of
that thriving little city to the title
of "the most prosperous town in
America."
With 2,000 population Chaska has
a surplus of over $88,000 in the city
treasury. Taxes have been cut 30
percent. The people of Chaska
have almost ' $2,500,000 in the two
ban Its, and the town never had a
bank failure. There are no natives
on the poor list, and the city Is pro
viding a good living for nearly
ninety business and professional
men besides their employees. On
top of that Chaska has had new
businesses opening in each year of
the depression, and has only five
names on the delinquent tax list.
I know of no other town the size
of Chaska that can make such a
showing. Do you?
Savings ... in the banks
There is more money in the sav
ings banks of the United States
than ever before in our national
history. In New York State alone
savings bank deposits were more
than five hundred million dollars
on the first of January. This money
is owned by more than five and one
half million depositors.
The people of the United States
are certainly not "broke" when sav
ings deposits increase like that.
Folks are putting their money Into
safe places instead of spending it
because they are not quite sure yet
what is going to happen In the fu
ture. Just as soon as conditions
seem to be stabilized there will be
plenty of funds available for in
vestment in promising enterprises.
Credit and an idea
Taking the country as a whole,
the banks are full of money, but it
is harder than ever for the average
person to borrow money from the
banks. The reason for this is very
clear. Fewer people than ever be
fore are in a position to give a
banker reasonable assurance that
they will be able to pay a loan
when it is due.
It is not shortage of money that
is keeping us poor; It is shortage
of credit The few who have good
oredit can borrow money cheaper
than ever before.
I don't know how it would work,
but it seems to me there is some
merit in the suggestion that if the
banks would lend everybody enough
to pay their debts money would be
gin to circulate so fast that busi
ness would immediately pick up and
everybodys credit would be as
good as it ever was. That idea is
certainly not any more foolish than
a good many of the Inflationary
proposals that have been offered in
Congress.
Rabbits . . . they multiply
Two adjoining Long Island towns
voted a couple of years ago to per
mit no shooting and to suppress
cats, in order to provide a bird ref
uge. But the townspeople forgot
all about rabbits.
Now Centre Island and Mill Neck
are so full of rabbits that it is al
most impossible to drive over the
roads without running over a few
cottontails. Farmers and garden
ers are wondering what they are
going to do to protect their lettuce,
spinach and other garden crops In
the spring. They are trying to get
the local game ordinances amend
ed to permit them to shoot the rab
bits. What has happened in these Long
Island towns Is what happens when
ever man interferes to upset the
balance of nature.
Coins .... some valuable
Rare old coins still bring high
prices. A penny sold at an auction
in New York the other day for
sixty dollars. It was a copper cent
dated 1799.
Among other rare coins sold at
the same time were some copper
"hard times" tokens issued from
private mints between 1834 and
1841. One of them, dated 1837
brought $22.50.
Coins are not valuable merely be
cause they are old; It is rarity that
makes collectors bid for them. The
silver dollar of 1804 is so rare that
only four or five are known to be in
existence, and anyone finding one
of those coins can almost name his
own price for It Most of the silver
dollars coined that year were sent
to Europe for the payment of cer
tain obligations and the ship was
lost at sea.
Last year the United States Mint
made more coins than In the pre
vious two years; there were more
than twenty million of them, worth
$68,000,000, One reason for the in
creased coinage was the large of
ferings of gold jewelry and orna
ments, which the mint is obliged
to purchase and give gold coins in
exchange for.
Low Prices Cut Feed Sales
Tillamook Feed dealers here es

decreased approximately 20 per cent
In 1932 compared with the high
