The Country
EVEX those who oppose immediate payment of the veterans
cash bonus and they are many must admit, that the
veterans took their defeat at the hands of the senate, like good
sports and good citizens.
Instead of mounting a soap box and trying to inflame the
passions of his disappointed followers, W. W. Waters, the bonus
army leader, urged them to take the blow, like good Americans
on the chin, and return quietly to their camps.
His excellent advice was followed. In marked contrast to a
similar situation nearly 40 years ago when Coiey's army
marched to Washington, there were no disorders, no riots, no
calls for the police, no marshalling of the militia.
There wasn't even a chanting of the Red Hymn. In fact,
according to press dispatches, back in their camp the members
of the bonus army joined in singing America, and sang it with
a will.
e
SO don't worry about this devastating depression, ending in
a Bolshevik uprising, brethren.
When .veterans of the world war, many of them penniless
and joblessaccept the blasting of their hopes in SUCH a spirit,
and yield good naturedly to SUCH leadership, this country is
indeed "safe for democracy I"
Let s Have the Facts
THE initiative bill to remove the state university to Corvallis,
will be regarded by suspicion, until those sponsoring the
measure, come out in the open and lay all their cards on the
table.
The persistent refusal of those sponsoring the bill, to reveal
their financial backers, on the ground that such information
would be embarassing, doesn't set well with the rank and file.
WHY SHOULD SUCH INFORMATION BE EMBARASS-
1 INGt If this move ia made in good fait". i,' would improve the
'state's system of higher education, and save the taxpayers a
i huge sum, why should the financial backers be so backward
i about coming forward I Why shouldn't they be proud of being
' affiliated with such a worthy cause f
e
j CONTINUING such a policy will only add fuel to the fire of
adverse' propoganda, namely that this entire project is
' being financed by Corvallis to benefit 0. S. C, at the expense
of its bitter rival, Eugene. ,'
i ' Such important issues should be fought in the open and on
j their merits. Absolute frankness should be the policy on both
I sides.
Opponents of the initiative measure have repeatedly asked
where the money is coming from. Proponents of the measure
have repeatedly refused to say. .
We repeat the time has come for the sponsors of the bill to
abandon such a polioy and put all their cards on the table.
It Cant Be Done!
A SHORT time ago ex-President Coolidge wrote a very con-
vincing article in the Saturday Evening Post, favoring the
payment by Europe of its war debts to this country.
' A few days later the Republican party in its platform praised
the Smoot-Hawley bill, and reaffirmed its faith in a high pro
tective tariff.
Now some wise man should come forward, and tell the people
just how these two proposals can be oarried out.
e
A liU experts are agreed the war debts CAN'T be paid in
currency or gold. They can, in the final analysis, only
be paid in GOODS.
But how oan Europe pay America in goods when this coun
try erects a tariff wall against the importation of those goods.
The most frequent answer to this is something as follows:
America has had a protective tariff during nearly all its
history. In spite of that tariff, Europe has shipped billions of
dollars to this country in various manufactured produots and
raw materials. Why can't Europe continue to do this, and thus
pay the war debts!
IT'S AN intricate problem and the present writer does not pre-
tend to be an export in this line. But, as we see it, the seri
ous flaw in that answer is a failure to realize that the World
war marked a now epoch, the United States went into it as a
dobtor nation and came out the ohief creditor.
Before the war, the amazing material development in this
country was vory largely financed in Europe, particularly in
Great Britain. John Bull loaned the money, Uncle Sam paid in
goods.
The situation today is prooisely reversed. Uncle Sam fi
nanced the world war, and also financed the post war recon
struction. The time has eome for Europe to pay in goods, to the
country that loaned hor money.
REAT Britain recognized this fundamental economio change
by abandoning free trade and adopting protection. Up
to dcte this country, at least as far as the Republican party is
concerned, has rofused to recogaize this fundamental change,
and clinging to protection can't make out why Europo doesn't
go back to free trade.
It would appear that the G. 0. P., as far as the tariff is
concerned, is a victim of what the high browa term "obscurantism."

Government, patriotism,

ods, plus our national idea of
justice are all mixed up in this.
The Rock Island railroad
owes about nine million dollars
to banks, due this summer. The
Rock Island also needs money
for its own purposes and asks
the government Reconstruc
tion Finance corporation for a
loan of ten millions. T,he cor
poration says "all right, if you
pay off half what you owe the
banks now."
The Rock Island will get its
ten millions FROM THE PUB
LIC and the banks will get half
their loan.
Many men sent to war aome yeara
ago that need money owed, would
like to pay their debts and have
something left for their own use, but
there Is no reconstruction finance
corporation for veterans. They are
told: "You should be ashamed to
exploit your country. Your children
are In need? What of it. DON'T
EXPLOIT YOUR COUNTRY."
. A railroad that owes to banks and
needs money for itself ahould have
aome way of getting the money, it It
can be arranged. Prosperity of rail
roads and banks Is essential, to
national prosperity.
But many wives and. children of
veterans must wish that their hus
band and father had been a bank or
a railroad, Instead of being only an
American soldier.
M "
It Is aald the railroads will repay
these loans. Perhaps so, perhaps not,
with some probability on the NOT.
The veteran would aurely repay, for
the money they ask for now la com
ing to them from the government aa
a bonus In a short time, anyhow and
the government could not possibly
lose Its money.
Between a man needing a few hun
dred dollara, and a corporation need
ing many millions of dollars, the
difference I great. ,
' Again European papers emphasize
the fact that war debt problems are
to be solved, simply, BY NOT PAY
ING ANYTHING TO THE UNITED
STATES. French papers say that
Europe now present "a united front
to the United States." and this coun
try muet yield, aa gracefully aa
possible.
If the gentlemen welch, of course
they will welch. But the debts, will
be kept alive In our memory, at least.
And when Europe, In its next war,
which will come, when Russia, Ger
many and Italy feel atrong enough,
arranges a new ' series of "united
fronts," of a different sort, we shall
be observers, not shipping any men
or any billions.
And, as tor the debts, there are
more ways than one of collecting
from a dishonest debtor.

West Point. He la
17 years old and
won the first al
ternate appoint
ment, when he
graduated from
high school. But
he Is much perturbed lest he fall on
account of hts stature. He la just 6
feet S Inches tall. His father la 5
feet 7li Inches tall and I am 5 feet
S Inches tall. The military academy
authorities seem shocked at the boy's
low stature. Why haa he not grown?
He weighed four pounds and a few
ounces at birth he waa the first born
of twins. His twin brother lived only
two days. Is there any hope of In
creasing his stature now? (Signed by
the boy's mother).
I don't know whether It would be
possible to add that little Inch the
military regulations prescribe. If the
boy's physician will take an Interest
In the attempt It would at least be
worth while trying to make the grade.
I would suggest these two lines of
treatment: -
1. Two doses of Insulin dally,
which must be administered hypo
dermlcally shortly before the regular
meal time. Any good physician can
show any Intelligent child or adult
how to take his own insulin. A course
of Insulin Injections will definitely
Increase the weight of almost any
underweight Individual, and It does
not matter at all whether the indi
vidual haa or has not ttlebetes, so the
old foull practlctloner can't laugh
this off on that score. Some striking
benefits have been obtained by this
use of Insulin for the speclflo pur
pose of Improving nutrition In vari
ous conditions aside from diabetes,
among them ; simple underweight,
emaciation from mental disturbance,
and marked loss of weight from tu
berculosis. 2. A course of ductless gland hor
mone medication. Whether this
should be thyroid or pituitary or ad
renal gland hormone or a combina
tion of two or three of these Is a
question which the boy's own physi
cian can best determine If any such
treatment is to be tried at all. Cer
tainly this type of treatment has
brought about marked growth In
height In a number of Instances
where growth was much retarded In
childhood, and this boy ts still a
child.
In case these suggestions prove
apparently helpful we hope Mother

PEACE TIME PATRIOTISM
- By
Geo. B. Cortelyou
President, Consolidated Gaa Company
of New York
It has been said that "patriotism
consists Just as much In believing In
one's country In a depression as In
fighting for It In war." Few will dis
pute this statement, difficult though
It be to give It practical application:
for It la in some respects harder to
overcome a depression, many of whose
elements are Invisible, Intangible and
Incalculable, than to overthrow the
armed forces of a visible foe, whose
members end resources are known.
A depression has Its casaultles no
less than war; like war. It entails
sacrifice and suffering, from which
no class Is exempt. In fact, a depres
sion Is a kind of war In which we are
all enlisted "for the duration,"
whether we will or not. It Is up to
us to plsy our part and do our duty
as good soldiers.
On of the first essentials Is mor
ale. A splrtt of defeatism at this time
Is ss dangerous as It would have been
In 1017-18. To glv way to panic or
despair would be the surest means of
precipitating the vecy disaster we are
trying to avoid. Nor 1 there Just
ground for uch an attitude. When
we remember the optimism that waa
rampant only a few year ago, when
confidence In a never-ending pros
perity waa unbounded, and when we
reall-as we do now-how unwarrant
ed such a state of mind was, does not
this suggest at least the possibility
that the opposite state of mind may
be equally unwarranted?
True, we hsve lost much, but we
have much more left, and what we
have left Is far more Important than
wet, and that 1 th biggest new

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Raw Milk Makes Beit Teeth
I am In a position to know that
the raw milk sold In today
Is of the highest standard, thanks to
our health department, particularly
Dr. . Twenty-five per cent
of the raw milk supply exceeds the
requirements for certified milk, and
the other 75 per cent has an average
butter fat content as high as pas
teurized milk and a bacteria count
(as low aa pasteurized milk. So by en
dorsing raw milk you are helping to
keep the small Independent daily
man In business. (S. P.)
Answer. I advise the use of raw
milk ONLY when your local health
department approves the milk. In
England the liberal use of ordinary
raw milk haa been found to prevent
decay of the teeth In childhood.
Human Material
Being in my right mind, If not In
bodily health, a college graduate and
student of science. I have eagerly
read your articles urging that felons
should be made available for scien
tific experimentation. I am not a
felon but would gladly offer my body
for any purpose that might benefit
mankind. Please inform me how to
make good this possibility. (E. S.)
Arts. Would you join our Legion?
Remember, we called for 1000 volun
teers to enter an enclosure with a
pack of rabid dogs. We want to find
out whether proper first aid treat

will not pievent alleged human ra
bies. Pending response from the oth
er 999 members of the Legion we are
filing your application. I do not
know how you may go about serving
as experimentation material legally.
Mustard
la mustard mayonnaise harmful to
the stomach or kidneys? Have Hen
the stomach or kidneys. Have Been
wheat bread all the time, that you
should rotate with the white bread
part of the time. (E. R. R.)
Ana. A wee bit of mustard occa

production facilities are concerned,
we are embarrassed not by too little

that everybody's wants have been sat

"You would be reminded, also, that
anyone can hurl accusations and
charge everyone else in the world
with being out of step, and that such
ready critics rarely accomplish any
thingthat they merely are a part
of the load man must carry as a
penalty for making an effort to do
the world's work. The truth would
come home to you that a newspaper,
to be of value to a community or
government, must not be a predatory

our shoulders or that everything we
disagree with Is a miscarriage. We
simply think that some people have
dramatized themselves and that the
county as a whole Is suffering because
of It. We are convinced less Imagi

southern Oregon so that stray visit
ors will not become frightened and
dash back over the Slsklyous driv
