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.

spend It. so they can hoard aome

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.

It was pointed out however that
If tht regular eeaslon psssed the meas

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.
As an example, to show the amount
of taxes saved. I will take a home In
Medford Oreeon. as assessed value of
which la 31800:
State and county tax 39 5 mills
City tax snd special saseat-
menta . 50.7 mills
Total 60 3 mills
Assessed value 31800 x 80.3
mills 3107.80
Shelter exemption 31800 x
39.8 mills , S 35
Taxes remaining to be paid
In the city 3 48 35
This 359 35 Is the smount of tax
reduction on this home. In order 'o
equsllse th tax exemption between
the county and th city taxea, or
special aesesament for road purposes
In tht country, or other speclsl sa
eassment. the voters might see fit to
impose upon their property, would
not be Included In the exemption.
Taxes for state, county and school
purposes only would be exempted. It

This 816.45 represents full taxes on

31500. 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. If a claim of ownership wsa
refused by th assessor the claimant
could appeal to the county board of
equalization, aa la now done In case
of disagreement as to vslustlon.

fiable snd serve a good purpose. Such
activities, however, do not reach be
yond the realm of publicity, and :n
my opinion they ahould be dispensed
with whll we, sre facing problems
that ar fundamental to our very ex
istence, snd our energies be devoted
to some ot these problems. This will
mean more to our people In 193S
than the celebration of our ststehood
annlversery. The attendant publicity
to our community which woud fol
low In the wake of a leadership
which night ultimately mean the
solution of a state and national prob
lem would be lasting, and filled with
reverberations which would resch to
distant parts of our continent.
I refer especially to our problem of
taxation which I bellev la destroying
more men snd homes, directly and
Indirectly, thsn any other problem
which confronts our nation. It has
brooms so cancerous that It stsnds

Beneath the mountain's frown.
It lingers in the alleyi;
It loiters In the lanes;
It breathes Its misty breath upon.
The ohllly window panes.
The cars which swing by In the fog
Have weirdly peering eyes,
And, walking, you may pass a friend
With quick start of surprise.
No shadow to accompany you;
No sun the hour to tell;
Familiar whistles call to you,
And train with clanging bell.
Come out Into the valley fog,
For It Is cool and sweet;
Its misty veils soon float away
Before approaching feet.
The wind has claimed the valley;
Has gaily swept the town,
And now across the window sill
The sun la streaming down.

But it did not seem to bother him.
He merely turned to the orchestra
