The noble redskin Is getting the worst of It again. Herewith Is presented an outstand ing case ot splitting hairs by shoot Ing them, as recited in the Nebraska 8tat Journal, the favorite paper ot F. Wortman. the Phoenix tiller: Stated In this way, It la clear that there la a strong case for reform ot Vie existing praotlce. To aocord the eecretary ot agri culture and the attorney general a 10-gun salute, while compell ing the governors of Cslltornla and New York to content them selves with 17, comes perilously near to being an Insult to the people. On the other hand, there are considerations of practical economy.

Nevertheless, no mat ter how many guns are fired, as usual, lihey will be pointed the wrong way. IS the leading article in this week' Saturday Evening Post, Sam Blythe appeals to the people of this country to "Buy American. This is followed up with an editorial appeal from George Horace Lorimer, the editor, to do the same thing. Because of the depreciation of foreign currency which has reduced production costs abroad, our present tariff wall is insufficient to keep out a perfect flood of articles, and as a result more American factories are closing down, and our army of unemployed is being increased alarmingly every day. The seriousness of the situation is demonstrated by an im pressive array of facts and figures, showing how foreign coun tries, particularly Japan is profiting by this condition. Mr. Blythe calls attention to the fact that when England faced a similar crisis, the British Empire was saved by a "Buy British" campaign. He declares America can only be saved by a "Buy-American" campaign. Here i his conolusion : Christmas Is coming. Help Amertcsn Industry, the American working man, the American merchant by buying American goods. Do your Chrlstmss shopping esrly and confine It to American goods and glftsl Take none of this foreign stuff. Are you an American? Then buy Amerlcanl Elitor Lorimer, after declaring that this nation is so simple that it has permitted alien propogandists to lead it by the nose and. take over a large part of its business while it dozes, makes his point in the following fashion: "As It is the first duty of a nation In time of war to defend itself against Invasion; it la no less Its duty in time ot peace to protect Its fields and factories from commercial Invaders who would destroy them as surely as an armed and ruthless enemy." , , , Bight now we are beginning to think ot Christmas and to buy our Christmas presents. With each one we can. If we will, make two gifts one to our relatives and friends; the other to our unemployed by buying American, and so helping to put them back to work. And we can follow that up at New Year's with high resolution to think Amerlcsn, to buy American and to be Amerlcanl" So that's that! There is no doubt about the general truth of the situation, as described, nor any doubt that the time to put a Buy-American policy into practice has arrived. The Mail Tribune is glad to endorse such a program, and raise ita voice in Southern Oregon to the same effect. "If each before his own door swept the village would be clean." If each and every citizen, in this AND EVERY OTHER COMMUNITY, would refuse to purchase foreign goods and purchase only American made goods, there is no doubt that the greatest victory to date against the depression would be won.

One of the bankers got a dose of his own chilliness the 1st of the week. Ke wanted Jim Bates to charge a shav. 0 - Tha six-hour day and five-day week are advanced as a tropical Idea to solve the depression. The five day week would leasen tha earning and purchasing power, but provides two days In which to spend the week ly wage. This would not help any. What la needed Is a new crop of healthy spenders and everybody else Indulge In normal buying. At this writing the extremely rich have all the money. They are waiting for the poor, who have no money, to spend It. so they can hoard aome more. A six-hour day wiu not atop Slhour-a-dajr hoarding. Don't Be Cheap! rT'HE great obstacle to the success of such a campaign how- ever, we do not regard, as either public apathy or what Editor Lorimer terms, "American snobbishness." The great obstacle, as we see it, is the present overwhelming passion for something CHEAP,--quite regardless of intrinsic value. ' ... , , . "How much is it!" has become the national slogan, in our marts of trade. We buy not on the basis of quality, but solely on the price tag. As Sam Blythe points out, Germany, Czecho-Slovakia, and Japan, are flooding this country with cheap goods, and with inferior goods. In spite of the tariff they are underselling American manufacturers by ten and twenty percent. If thia price tag passion is allowed to go on unchecked, there is little likelihood of putting over a "Buy American" campaign, this year, or any other. The stampede for something cheap will sweep away all obstacles, all discrimination, all solf inter ested restraint. ONE of the first steps in this "Buy American" campaign should be a campaign of education, along the line of what constitutes sound merchandise. The people must be TAUGHT not only to avoid the foreign labol, but to avoid the shoddy snare, to learn that there are two fundamental factors in real economy what one PAYS and what one GETS. PAYING 80 cents for a pair of Czecho-Slovakia gloves, which will fall to pieces after a month's wear, isn't economy for example but the greatest extravagance. Paying $1.50 for a pair of real leather gloves, which will wear a year or more isn't extravagance, but true economy. Get this idea of what true economy IS into the heads of the people first, and then follow this up with the "Buy American" campaign, end great things can be accomplished, but trying to take the second step without the first, we fear will lead only to disillusion and disappointment. Every one knows that In a healthy person the stomach Is acid during the digestion of food. Excessive acid ity of the stom ach is cholecys titis, with o without gall stones, and of sheer worry. A considerable share of those who cons tantly take soda, mag nesia or other al kalis for the re lief of "Indigestion." "dyspepsia,' 'acidity," "heartburn," "gas" waterbrash" have gastric or duode nal ulcer. There Is no harm In the occasional use of such slkslls for the relief of acidity, but the constant or habitual use of them la objectionable for sev ers! reasons. Sodium bicarbonate particularly produces sn after-effect that atlmU' latea greater secretion of the hydro chloric acid. When the sodium bi carbonate reacts with the hydro chloric acid sodium chlorld (common salt) 'and carbon dloxld (carbonic acid gas) are formed; these Irritate. Alkalis do not cure anything. Alkalis destroy vitamins In food. Too much alkali tends to upset the normal acid-base balance of the blood. If any such remedy Is necessary for the relief of excessive' acidity pre pared chalk (calcium carbonate) la preferable to soda, magnesia or the various concoctions containing these slong with charcoal, aromattcs and sedatives. Ten grains of prepsred chslk Is usually sufficient to neutralize ex cessive acidity for severs! hours. Prepared chalk Is less likely to dis turb the acid-base balance of the blood. Prepsred chalk Is officially called Creta Prsparata and la native chslk purified for medicinal use. Its chemi cal name la calcium carbonate. Vir tually the same substance constitutes egg shell and oyster shell. Either of these natural forms of calcium car bonate may be crushed to powder and used medicinally. The salts formed when other alka lis are taken are rather laxative In effect. The salts formed when chalk reacts with the acid of the stomach are not laxative, even slightly astrin gent, and hence prepared chalk Is an old remedy In acute diarrheal con ditions. Cslclum carbonate (prepared chalk) may be taken In powders. In tablets, or suspended In cinnamon water. The cinnamon water suspension of pre pared chalk Is officially called Chalk Mixture. Two teaspoonfuls of Chalk mixture represents approximately 10 grains of calcium carbonate. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Nice Warm Feet.

A property tax. It was announces, will be levied, but It Is the plan at the present to provide some other revenue before June, when taxea would be due. In order to eliminate collection of the real property taxea. This would be the purpose ot an extra session. A salea tax, either on a 1 per cent gross, or a greater per cent selective tax, has been proposed aa the moat logical revenue producing measure for panose by a special or regular aesslon of the 193S legtalsturt. Must Act Soon. It was pointed out however that If tht regular eeaslon psssed the meas ure, the required 00-day period fol loglng adjournment before It becomes effective would be too late to offset the first half year's property tax. A special aesslon. It wss held, would speed It up sufficiently. oovernor Meier restsrdsr Indicated that it an extra session wart called I It would not be during December Tha proposal now being considered would call the 1933 legislators to con vene about January 3, giving five days to enact aomt tax leglslstlon, and adjourn Saturday to reconvene Mon day, January 9. the date of the regu lar auembly.

Sales Tax With Shelter Exemption Is Explained In Series of Short Articles, J. C Barnes Explains Details of His Proposal to Lighten Tax Burden on Workers X. Application of Shelter Tax Exemption. If, In Jackson county, the . state tax was 4.8 mills and the oounty tax for all expenses, Including high schools, 11.8 mills, then the balance of the 40 mills, or 33.7 mills, would go to the school district, each school district receiving its pro ram .own ing to tsx exemption in me aieun-v. rf the expenses of the administra tion of our school system was made a part of our atate expense then the .n.ittinn between different dis tricts would be unnecessary. If this proposal was put Into effect i tax receipt would be made out vairtiv sa now and each property owner's taxes would be figured ss It Is now. Then there would oe eaaeu to the present form o: tax recent three columns. In the first column would be placed the amount of mlU tge tax exemption for state, county and school purposea. This mlllsge exemption In the Individual tax re ceipt would vary In ea--h school dis trict ss It does now. In the next column would be carried forward the amount of the credit and the amount of taxee left to be paid would be placed In the third column, found by subtracting the amount In the second column from the amount shown in the original receipt. If the ssaewed value of a holding wss 81500 or more, then the credit would be found by multiplying the mlllsire tax rate aa shown In the first column by 81500. If the sssessed value wss leas than 81500, asys for exsmpls 8900. then the smount of credit to go Into the second column would be found by multiplying 8900 by the mlllsge rat shown In the first col umn.

Instead of trying to pay 875.70 on this fsrm unit the tax would be only 816.45, which would be a fair tax, and ownership In small farm units would be especially encouraged. Assessment rolls showing exemp tions would have to be reviewed by the stat equalization board, as Is now done. In order to equalize the rates of valuation between the sev eral counties ot the stat and In order to oheck excess allowances for ex emptions that might be made by lo cal assessors. A property would have to be occu pied by the owner before exemptions would be allowed. Ownership would have to bo t matter of record. The assessor would determine this owner ship.

An unfortunate phase of the affair was the failure of the critics to agree the range of the artist's voice. The times called him "a promising tenor. The Hera Id -Tribune referred to him as the "brown derby baritone." Critics on other papers had not quite made up their minds. Some persons pretended to observe nervous nes as the tenore legglero advanced to begin his first number. There was some misunderstanding be tween the singer and the orchestra i reuit of witch the orchestra was away to a flying start before the Si trior Smith was in his proper stance.
