No Cause
IN the columns of mnny newspapers, we note indications of
surprise and alarm, over growing opposition to the adminis
tration's New Plan.
There should certainly be no surprise. There is no PERFECT
recovery plan, anymore than there is a perfect tax tor a perfect
anything else.
There was bound to be opposition to the New Plan, for every
phase of that plan, involves some sacrifice, and few people are
willing to sacrifice without protest. As the program developed,
and the original enthusiasm declined, growing opposition was
inevitable.
1VJOR do we believe that alarm is justified. We are quite sure
neither President Roosevelt nor his official family, are
surprised or alarmed at the present situation. They knew the
honeymoon couldn't last. They realized that putting through
what is in reality a "peaceful industrial and economic revolu
tion" would be no Sunday school picnic. They knew their pro
gram couldn't be put into effect without a fight. And they arc
undoubtedly prepared to make that fight.
And a fight it will be, just as all things worth attaining in
this life must be fought for.
MOT that there will be any attempt to "bull" through the
Recovery program, without altering the crossing of a "t"
or the dotting of an "i". The entire "set-up" is one of trial
and error, and as defects and injustices are revealed, they will
be corrected; just as whenever concessions are justified they
will be made.
BUT CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES WILL BE
STRICTLY" ADHERED TO, and for those who refuse to accept
such principles, it is going to be just too bad.
Many months ago, it was predicted in this column that Presi
dent Roosevelt's "winter of discontent" was bound to come.
We said then that when the day of reckoning arrived, the sheep
would be separated from the goats, those who actually believed
in the president and his policies, would go one way, those who
merely gave him lip service, ANOTHER.
That time has arrived.
The Greatest Good
A DAT doesn't pass that this
test against certain provisions of the N.R.A., -usually a
form letter from somo organization, designed to advance its
special interest.
Today, for example, we received a protest from the "inde
pendent oil dealers." It is claimed that the order issued by
Secretary Ickes, setting prices below which crude and petroleum
products may not be sold, will put them out of business and
turn over the oil business to the "iniquitous oil trust."
This order from the Interior department, was issued for one
main purpose, to prevent unrestricted price cutting, destruc
tive competition, in short complete demoralization in one of the
country's major industries.
WE bcliove it is a good idea. It means federal control, but
for the protection of an exhaustible national resource,
and the stabilization of a great industry, federal control is
needed.
No doubt some independent oil interests will be hurt, but the
question is what is the greatest good for the greatest number,
what is best for the country as a WHOLE.
TPIIE same fundamental issue runs through all phases of the
New Deal. We can't have our cake and cat it. We can't
get out of this depression without eliminatinir the factors which
have caused it; and we can't eliminate those factors, without
hurting those who have profited by them.
In other worda this New Deal is like a major operation. No
one likes operations, major or minor. But when a patient is
sick unto death, to save the patient's Jife an operation often
MUST be performed. The offending area must be cut out. It's
the same with a nation.
Certain things must be cut out if Uncle Sam is to recover,
and enjoy normal health again. No one can be said to enjoy
the process. But should one oppose it or complain, if onl- in
this way can the life of a nation be saved f
AS for benefitting the socalled oil trust, no one who knows
either President Roosevelt or Secretary Ickes will worry
over that score. They are not working for anv oil trust, they
I are merely working to PRESERVE AN INDUSTRY. -
that once done tho administration can be depended upon to
see that the big oil companies get no more than any legitimate
honestly-conducted business is entitled to.

anyone should take spinach, mashed

or an a p p l
Per h ap I should
omit apple. Ap
ples are pretty
sometimes, and I
don't believe they
do any harm if
anyone should
happen to like
'em to eat. But
I'll tell the world
that here la one
doctor you can
keep away o r
drive awny with any kind of apples,
unless the cookies you serve with
'em are capital.
Apple pie, that's different, espec
ially If you serve a schooner of
foaming raw milk with It, fresh from
the cow, or at any rate raw none
of your parboiled or pasteurized stuff.
If you please.
Physicians In Oermany have re
cently discovered or rediscovered that
applesauce Is a fine remedy for In
testinal disorders In Infante and In
adults. Raw applesauce. It must be.
The grated pulp of ripe, peeled, raw
apples.
For the young nursling Infant, if
fresh apples are not available, Dr.
Elisabeth Urban ltsky has found a
pure apple powder satisfactory. This
Is prepared much as banana pow
der and mite powder is made In
this country, by the vacuum dry
ing process, and It keeps through
the winter. She gave this to the
younger Infanta as an addition to
the bottle, by putting a tablespoon
ful In the bottle morning and aft
ernoon, or a. teaspoon ful in each
bottle of food prepared for the baby.
Raw apple appears to be benefic
ial In acute and chronic nutritional
disturbances. Intestinal Infections
and intoxications. The apple pow
der had to be given only for two
or three days to show Us benefic
ial effects.
Apple diet Is equally beneficial In
alimentary troubles In adults. It has
proved remarkably corrective in many
cases of diarrhea, acute gastro-enter
ills and acute enteritis, dysentery
and even paratyphoid. It promptly
arrests the diarrhea and restores
normal condition.
For adults the grated pulp of ripe, i
peeled raw apples Is used. It satis-
fies both hunger and thirst In these
cases. Patients take from one to
three pounds of apple In this form i
dally. In some cases nothing but j
apple is given for one, two or three !
days, and after that a day or two
of restricted diet, cautiously adding
one Item at a time, and so a grad
ual return to ordinary diet. In other

Answer If you say you have the

tion or advice I may have. But this
Is not blooming long-distance clinic

ask me to give out morbid Infor

Buby Bow legged
Our 17-months old is quite bow
legged. Two doctors said she would
outgrow It. Isn't it time we did
something to correct It? (Mrs. B.
P. .)
Answer I assume you have already
given her a cod liver oil ration, sun
baths, and plenty of outdor exer
cise, such as pushing a pushmoblle.
If you believe her legs are not
straightening under such manage
ment, perhaps suitable splints, ap
plied and worn under your physic
ian's care, would help.
Liver Is Liver
Before moving here from another
state I always bought and liked beef
liver. But in this village the meat
market have only hog liver and the
butcher laughs at me when I ask
for beef liver, which he sr.ys Is not
as good as pork liver . . . (Mrs. 8.

Answer Beef or calf liver Is gen
erally deemed the choicest. Pig liver,
however, Is all right if one likes It.
The finest liverwurst I have ever
eaten was made from hog liver.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
SATURDAY was Armistice Day.
Remember, please, that Armistice
Day celebrate the END of a war
not the beginning of on.
That la a It should be.
THE world war ended on November
II, 1018.
Now, 16 years later, ws know It
should never have begun, Wa know
particularly that we should never
have got Into It. We fought some
body else's battles, and all we got out
of It waa ingratitude.
IX we had stayed out, wa should
have been far better off
BUT that doesn't alter the fact that
the Americans who went to war
had the courage to fight, and, If nec
essary, DIE, for a cause that they
BELIEVED to be right.
That la something tremendously
Important. If Americans ever reach
the point where they lack the cour
age to fight and die for what they
believe to be right, this nation will
have reached the point of decadence.
OEOPLE die, whether they fight or
not.
A few, relatively apeaklng, die by
violence, with their "boots on." Vastly
more die as a result of disease.
Cancer la one of the most dreaded
of dlsases, and Its ravages, apparently,
are Increasing.
J"OR example:
In 1920, cancer took a toll of J3
of one year from the average length
of life of white men.
It now takea a tolj of 1.12 yeara
from the average length of life of
white men.
NOW note thisii
and one-half years from the average
length of life of white women. It
now takes a toll of 1.79 year from
the average length of white women's
lives.
Women, you see, are In greater dan
ger from cancer than men.
YN spite of all scientific progress we
hare made In the past couple of
generations, the cause of cancer la
still unknown.
That la a ringing challenge to our
Intelligence, Isn't it?
In spite of all we have learned, we
still have a LOT MORE to learn.
If we could find the cause of can
cer, we might be able to find the cure
for It.
BUT let's get back to the subject of
-.giib,,ig. .iiKu i ui particular
Interest on Armistice Day.
A--A
TOO much fighting, from 1914 to
loin .,,., ...inu j
loss to the world. The present de
pression, which to us of today Is the
biggest thing In th world, waa
caused largely by the war.
First because of the war and second
because of the depression, which
owes Its cause to the war, th average
level of human: welfare has slid FAR
DOWN.
IT ERE in Oregon, we have been
fighting for yeara over higher
education, and apparently getting a
lot of run out of It. At leaat, we go
on fighting.
Listen:
In 1938 and 1939, the attendance
at the University of Oregon and Ore
gon state college, combined, was 7118.
It Is NOW 4067.
No such decline in university atten-
dance haa occurred in our neighbor
ing states of Washington and Callfor.
nla.
1J7HAT haa happened
Well, It Is fairly obvious that
Oregon parents, Instead of' sending
their children to their own Instltu-
tlon of higher learning during these
yeara of fighting, bleeding and dying.
have been sending them to college In
other sUtes.
Isnt it about time to quit fighting
over higher education In Oregon
even If It Is a lot of fun?
Fun that costs too much Isn't a
wise Investment.
Communications
Good for Non-Resldents.
To the Editor:
In th Tribune of November 9. you
show what the sales tax of California
has done for P. C. Btghsm. a resident
of Medford, Oregon, In reducing his
taxes over 40 per cent on property
In California that he owns.
This Is very nloe for non-reatdent
owners who have none or the Cali
fornia sales tax to pay. and If Oregon
hsd a salea tax It would be equally
beneficial to the thousanda of non
resident land owners of Oregon lands,
and more or Oregon'a timber lands
sre owned by non-residents than by
residents.
Will Mr. Barnes tell us who It was
that had to pay 40 per cent of Mr
Blghsm's taxes? ' E. T. MERRILL.
Medford, November 12. I
Prefers Income Tax.
To the Editor: I
1 noticed la last Cunday'a paper
that you Invite comments on th tli
situation. I think your suggestion a
good on and so I'm submitting my
views on this tbject.
Any kind of a general aales tax la
objectionable because It Is unfair.
It's unfair because It doesn't tax peo
ple In accordance with their abiuty
to pay. for th wealthy spend only a
comparatively small part of their in
comes on merchandise subject to tax.
Mr. Barnes' plan is good, a aales
taxes go. but th choice between them
Is like the choice between rotten sp
ples. A tax on sales has little to
commend It but the desire of the
well-to-do to avert their fair share of
-v. K-Hn rit niihll exnense. As
long as It la possible to levy taxes
on a basis or incomes, wny oe
fled with such an Ill-fitting, unpro
portloned thing as a salea tax? Taxes
should be levied and collectde on a
basis of abUlty to pay and the In
come tax lenda Itself to the applica
tion of that principle better than any
other, and is the fairest tax yet de
vised. The money needed for relief
this winter, if It must come from
taxation, should be derived from In
comes. A levy on them gets all the
money available. There Is no more
to get and it gets It without working
undue hardship on any one class of
taxpayers.
An Income tax is flexible because
It will constantly shift the tax load
to the shouldera of those best able to
bear It. Herein is the weak spot of
the property tax. There Is no proper
relationship between the amount of
the tax and the earning capacity of
the property Involved, and we have
In extreme cases the spectacle of the
law Imposing the absurd and lmpos
Dlhl mnriltinn. of a tax that Is
greater than the total Income. Why
shouldn't taxes be levied on income
in accordance with ability to pay. In
stead of on property or sales which
have no direct relation to income of
ability to pay? If there are no In
comes then there Is no tax paying
ability and all other forms of taxa
tion ar impossible?
Our tax problems can best be solv
ed by the repeal of any and all taxes,
except, perhaps, liquor, luxury and
inheritance taxea. and by the im
position of a graduated tax on ln
comea with lower exemptions pd
ratea high enough to raise the neces
sary revenue.
A person with Income enough to
be taxed la doing well. He should
appreciate hla good fortune and have
no regrets that he must bear an hon
est part of the burden of cltlsienship
by paying a reasonable part of It In
taxes. Those who complain of the
a. - la. nn Incomes need a
dose of the depression as It has hit

Doesn't Like Barnes Idea
To the Editor:
Again you call for opinions. This
time on the Barnes augar-coated aales
tax. Fine. Here is one.
The "darn thing works in Cali
fornia." Why not here? Yes, it
works and how? So does the cancer
cell. In fact the sales tax Is to the
capitalistic organism what the cancer
cell Is to the physical organism. Both
grow and eventually annihilate their
respective hosts.
Mr. Barnes seems to think that If
the voters would really consider his
scheme his brain-child, they would
surely adopt It Nothing. It is be
lieved, would be more fatal to It than
critical reflection.
Up to now. the world haa. at least
after a fashion, got along as a "pain
economy." But further progress is at
an end unless there la a general
understanding of evolution. An out-and-out
evolutionist regards all social
Inventions as means thru which the
social forces evoiutlonlze or revolt
tlonize the social system which gave
the mblrth. The Barnes Invention is
certainly no exception. If his hopes
materialize these forces are reaction
ary. Much social friction results.
All institutions that put the bur
den of state directly on producers are
doomed to a ahort life. First it crip
ples, then kills them by shrinking,
to the vanishing point, their purchss-
lng power. State expenses should not
in the least come directly out of the
pockets of Infants, children, laborers,
etc., as Mr. Barnea would have It, but
out of the pockets of those who re
ceive surplus value for nothing. That
surplus value is gotten without com
pensating the producer will be denied,
no doubt. But so would be the fact
that the sum of all anglea of a
triangle equals two right angles, If
economic doctrine were Involved,
especially class Interests.
We have Just been treated to the
spectacle, disgusting to msny, of howl
som of our richest men "pass the
buck" thru capital "losses." This
patriotic subbing In the back of the
state is, no doubt, the rule rather
than the exception and about which
you have written ao splendidly. In
the face of these revelations a ssles
tax? Nothing dolngl R. HEONER.

HUNTING SONG
By Raymond Wallace Thorberf
When the shadea are deep and long
behind the Slsklyous,
And the winds come yowlln' up th
crags
A long-tailed rabbit come a-huntln'
with his side-Jaw full of anoose:
He's out ror yaller cougars to riU
his huntln' bags.
He cornea growlin' 'round the
mountain
Like a boilin' water fountain
And cussea every time he bumps his
toe on anags.
He aeea a cougar sneakln' from be
hind a dead oak tree;
A fiery gleam aomes stealln In his
eye,
His ears go back: hla back goea up
He's a horrible sight to seel
And does the big oat shiver when
that animal draws nlghl
Then with extension tall;
And hind lege goln' like flairs
He larlets and Kicks that cat Into
sweet bye and bye.
He starts to tow the cougar up and
through the Pass;
A-pullln' hard and wheezln at each
Jerk.
But goln- up a steep grade he spins
on slippery grass
And for a moment then his engine
goes berserk I
Then he flggers out by skill
That cougar up the hill
And gallops home with supper to
where little rabbits lurk I
