The Commissary Deficit
IN a communication printed today, Hamilton Patton call
attention to the fact that the $14,000 spent under the Fehl
regime for the county commUnary, could be legally paid off by
transferring an equal amount from the Highway Bond Sinking
Fund to the General Fund, and thia amount therefore NOT stand
as a deficit. '
This is true. A bill was passed by the last legislature author
izing the county court to transfer $20,000 from the highway
sinking fund to the general fund for relief purposes in other
words the county could transfer money from one pocket to
another, and instead of having a deticit of $14,000 in the
commissary, reduce the highway sinking fund, by that amount.
A S far as the financial situation of the county is concerned,
this would be merely a mutter of bookkeeping, it would
not change the. essentials of the situation in any way make
the financial problem any easier to solve.
But Mr. Patton seems to discern In this presentation of the
case, an effort on the part of this newspaper or the county
court to misrepresent the fnts.
We oan assure him there was no such intention on our part,
and know there was none on the part of the county court, NOR
DO "WE BELIEVE SUCH A CHARGE IS IN ANT SENSE,
JUSTIFIED.
TETE figures presented to us by the county oourt, and printed
by this paper, related to the condition of the county general
fund ALONE. It was expressly stated that other funds were
NOT included, the only purpose being to show the present
condition of that fund, the reasons therefor, and the problem
facing the new county budget committee. Those figures were,
as presented, absolutely correct.
There was no provision in the 1933 budget for a county
commissary. Therefore the amount spent for it, WAS a deficit,
and could be regarded as nothing ELSE. ,
How wisely that amount was spent, and how much it repre
sented, unpaid bills, has nothing to do with the case, as we see
it, the matter of the financial situation was and is at issue,
not the matter of POLICY. As the Mail Tribune pointed out
editorially at the time, the money spent on the commissary
was forced upon the community by the depression, the severity
of which could not be or WAS NOT forseen. There was no
effort to make any man or men responsible for the depression.
The reason the $20,000 available for local relief was not
mentioned was due solely to the faet that it was never trans
ferred and therefore never used. It COULDN'T show up in
the report of the general fund, or consideration of that fund,
because it never reached that fund.
WHY WASN'T IT USED? The reason it wasn't used, was a
differenence In the interpretation of the state law author
izing it. The county court, believed it could be used for local
relief. County Treasurer Walker, however, after a study of the
law, ruled that if this $20,000 or any part of it were trans
ferred from the highway sinking fund to the general fund, he
would be obliged to call in county warrants to the amount of
.he transfer, and cancel them.
In other words, if this $20,000 were transferred TODAY,
with approximately $160,000 in warrants outstanding, this
money could not be used either to wipe out the commissary
deficit, or provide further local relief, but only to reducing
the warrant indebtedness by $20,000.
Obviously until this legal tangle is cleared up, and an agree
ment reaohed, there would be
from the highway sinking fund
county relief is concerned.
THAT is where the matter
1
largely a matter of bookkeeping. The county only has so
much mpney, in 1U various funds, not how it is spent, but how
much is spent, alone determines the financial status, at any
given moment.
But in an emergency, like the present, with winter ap
proaching and many in need, the Mail Tribune does feel, that
the transfer of eash from the highway sinking fund, (money
not representing local taxes, but O. & O. funds from the gov
ernment) to county relief would be sound polioy, and from
the humanitarian standpoint, has everything to commend it.
If the state law, as it now stands, does NOT allow such a
use, then it should be changed so such a use of the money can be
made. If it does then action should immediately be taken.
If the former interpretation is correct, then here is AN
OTHER, matter for the special session or the legislature to
attend to.
Byrds New Adventure
A LTHOUGH, as President Roosevelt says, 12 branches of
science will be served, the public will be interested in th
second expedition of Rear Admiral Byrd to the South Pole as a
great adventure. The non-scientifio will follow the hardships,
road about the hazards and the narrow escapes with all the
avidity of the romantic mind, giving to the scientific discoveries
only passing notice.
Nor would the noted explorer and flyer have it otherwise.
He says he Is making the trip just for the adventure and that
probably is his main reason for going. It is as an adventurer
that the masses are interested in him. The world seldom makes
popular heroes out of scientists.
And yet the expedition may make contributions to our fund
of scientific knowledge which will make life easier, happier
and safer for all of us. It will be equipped to solve some of the
mysteries of meteorology and may learn something new about
cosmto rays and radio interferences.
Polar exploration has ceased to be the reckless adventure
it was before the airplane oonquered the ice floes and before
the radio made it possible to wander far beyond the frontiers
of civilization and yet remain in toueh with the very heart of
civilization. It seemed a much more dangerous feat when it
meant being out of touch with the world for months far beyond
the reach of help. R. S.

GOOD fust ENGLAND!
Th English art great individualist!.
At all time an Englishman Insist on
having hi rights a the rest or the

England tor many
years the chil
dren of conscien
tious objectors
have been exempt
from compulsory
vaccination, altho
the preponder
inoi of belief
among the coun
try health au
thorities and the
general public has
been that thia was dangerous to the
community.
The practice of vaccination has de
clined in England In recent years.
This is accounted for partly as a re
sult of compulsory vaccination and
partly as a consequence of the evo
lution of smallpox, that Is to say,
the change In character of the dis
ease; In England, as In the United
States, smallpox has become a milder
type of Dines than was the smallpox
of the nineteenth century. 80 peo
ple have less dread of It and more
readily neglect vaccination.
Moreover theie It a real menacs In
volved in vaccination, a menace suf
ficiently grave to warrant at least
n recons'.de ration of the whole ques
tion of vaccination as a public health
measure. I refer to the occurrence
of encephalitis following vaccination
brain Inflammation. which Is avow
edly caused by the vaccine. Although
thia deplorable complication or un
toward effect occurs only rarely, wMr
It does happen It 1 quite em-ugh to
give the conscientious physician ter
rible doubt.
I have expressed here repeatedly my
own personal doubt about (a) the
occurrence of rabln In man, and (b)
the administration (c) of Pasteur vi
rus to persona who have been bitten
by presumably rabid animals. All the
scientific literature, all th recorded
cases and all the experience of col
league have failed to clear away ob
scurity In which this problem Is sub
merged. I don't know. I don't know.
But if my own child were In that
plight right now I believe I should
NOT sanction the administration of
the virus.
I am comparing vaccine with antl
rable virus because there are certain
Impressive analogies between them.
No one knows the cause of smallpox
and no one knows the cause of rabies,
if rabies really occurs In man. No
one knows what disease Is Inoculated

to protect against smallpox, now holds
thst the time has arrived to consider
"whether greater protection against

voluntary rather than by compulsory
vaccination."
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Cramps In Legs.
I am nearly 80 years old. Six years
ago I suffered much from cramps in
the legs at night. Had to massage
vigorously with an embrocation I,
kept beside my bed for the purpose
Then a niece advised that I put on
tight garters at night. I tried It, and
found relief. I still wear them every
night and have no more cramps-
T. W.
Answer Thank you. Perhaps some
ot our readers who suffer with such
cramps will try wearing garters and
report their experience.
Tourist's First Aid Kit.
We plan a trip to the coast, taking
our three children (8-6-3). What pre
cautions can we take as to purifying
water where we can't boll It, and
what other emergency supplies and
precautions would you recommend?
Mrs. A. T. V.
Answer If you can't boll the water
put a drop of lodln (common tinc
ture of Iodine, old spelling) In a quart
of water and shake up and let stand
20 minutes before drinking any. Send
a stamped envelope bearing your ad
dress, Inclose a dime, and ask for In
structions for Preparing and Using
the Pocket First Aid Kit.

With these notes, mad absolutely full

a mild inflation but perfectly sound,
and would Immediately open the

It la plain to men whose eyes are

Sees Backbone Stiffening.
To the Editor:
The "backbone of the nation" is
stiffening. The farmers are getting
restive, articulate, I am moved to
this happy reflection by what has
taken place in the convention of the
Iowa Farmers' Union aa reported in
your issue of the 31st Inst. The
resignation of Sec'y. Wallr.ce Is de
manded, the agriculture adjustment
act 1 denounced a "stupid" etc. To
bring back J'good times" by killing
a million lady-pigs, plowing under
cotton, wheat acreage reduction and
other acta of sabotage, Is shall we
say asinine? No. An ass Is an ad
mirably logically acting animal. And
all this In the face of desperate under
consumption! This, some think, is
the limit. But Is It? Nawt "You
ain't seen nothing yet." As private
ownership of capital becomes more
and more Incompatible with progress
and human welfare, as It surely must,
far stranger things will be enjoyed
or suffered. The faclstl will strive
to keep this ownership where it is
(which It is believed, Is what it is
for) and successfully for a time.
But only for a time. They little ap
preciate the vast evolutionary forces
that they must combat.
The social world is at the open door
of a new epoch. Forces are gathertng
and materials are Integrating that
will thrust our cultured barbarism,
called capitalism. Into civilisation or
back Into savagery. This turning
point of sociology l comparable to
that In biology when the fishes were
forced by evolution to leave the sea
and become land animals. Had they
capitalistic relations In those day as
a basis of their economy, no doubt
a dictatorship would be set up to
prevent the bolsheviks from wiggling
out from the ooze and slime of the
sea and become men, 1 th humble
