Queer
THE average Communist is a queer bird. He is so keen for
human welfare that he loves to incite mass murder, wars,
and destruction. To gain his goal he goes charging down to the
German boat "Bremen," tears down a German flag and obvious
ly tries to precipitate an international episode in a world teeter
ing on the brink of a caldron.
The Communist is willing to kick the whole of Christendom
into the boiling soup kettle of war wherein untold millions may
die in pain in the rather vain hope that when the bubbling pot
is burned out and emptied, the debris will hold the makings of a
new world. Blood and suffering, starvation and cold, horror
and universal debt mean nothing to the Communist. He beckons
to them all. The more the better that he may take the bet that
his world will arise when the human heart and mind can no
longer bear its agony.
AND what is his world! The best that it has produced is
Russia. Russia is a land without liberty. A hundred and
sixty million people chained o a daily grind. A land wherein
men are shot without a jury trial by the thousands every year.
A land where millions have starved because of economic un
balance. A land where no paper prints the truth, no man speaks
the truth and no one dares even to dream of the truth. A cruel
land. A hard land. A land where the individual has disappeared
and the social mind is without conscience.
And for that kind of a world the Communist in his madness
would wreck this civilization. It is not perfect. It can be im
proved. Slowly through evolutionary processes, justice is com
ing to this civilization as fast as man and the masses can take it.
But the Communist in his haste and wrath would cast it to the
winds, throw away freedom and discard the progress of a
thousand years.
A queer bird this Communist. A mad turtle dove turned
vulture. Emporia (Kansas) Gazette.

Old Age Pensions
To the Editor:
When the new old age pension
plan Is enacted we hope It will be
administered In sympathetic, help
ful manner Instead of the harsh
penurious and shameful way the
present plan is conducted. Every ap
plicant for an old age pension has
to undergo every objection the board
can possibly think of before they
can get pension. They have to be
paupers and all their near relatives
have to be almost paupers before
they can obtain relief. - '
If the old folks have children try
ing to raise a family and keep out of
debt on forty to sixty dollars a month
they are told that the children must
keep them, when anyone knows that
no man can raise family the way
they have a right to be raised on
less thsn 9100 a month. Finally If an
aged person Is lucky enough to get
a pension It Is a measly eight to
twelve dollars a month that no reas
onable person could expect a person
to live on.
Out north of town there lives sn
old man 08 years of age who Is re
ceiving ten dollars a month pension.
It Is absolutely shameful for anyone
to expect this man to exist on this
amount when he has no other means
of support whatever.
There are dozens of others in like
circumstances throughout the county.
Out of every one hundred dollars
paid out In taxes In Jackson county,
less than one dollar goes for old sge
pensions.
We have asked several taxpayers If
they had any objections to paying
less than a dollar for every one hun
dred dollars paid out for old age
pensions sud the answer has been
every time, "No." They wouldn't care
If twice that much were levied for
the old age pension.
In view of the fact that under the
new pension act the county furnishes
only one-fourth of the money, we
hope the new board will see fit to
give the old folks the benefit of any
doubts and give them enough to live
decently on.

Pierce the Tariff
To the Editor:
Congressman Walter M. Pierce has
changed about face and is now in
favor of high protective tariffs, ac
cording to his own statement recently
pumianed in the congressional Rec
ord.
As congressman he has supported
the policy of plowing under crop,
slaughterlnj stock snd processing
meats, to make them scares and high.
and la now disturbed because Argen
tine and Canada take advantage of
our artificial prices and ahlp In grain
and meats. He now favors a prohibi
tive tariff on these products and the
continued destruction of crops and
live stock, so as to further kite the
prlos to consumers and the profits to
me oig rarmera.
Pierce owns one of the larceat
farms of eastern Oregon, on which he
grows principally wheat and cattle.
For a long time wheat has brought In
the neighborhood of $1 00 per bushel,
and prime beef, such as his white
fsced steers, from S to 10 cents per
pound on foot. Considering other
commodities, and especially the earn
ing ability of consumers, should he
not be satisfied with these prions?
Millions of people are unable to
buy enough bread and meat at the
prevailing prices, and the government
Is giving out billions. In one form or
snother of relief, to enable them to
live. If prices go higher Uncle Sam
will have to dole out still more for
their subsistence. And high living
expenses will rapidly sdd more people
to the relief rolls, thus increasing the
public debt which must ultimately be
paid by all taxable persons and prop
erty Including the farmers and their
land. When the end of the chain It
reached, which la apparently now In
Birds
sight, all fruits of special privilege
will have to be returned to the com
mon basket.
The whole scheme of prohibitive
tariffs snd destroying property to in
crease prices la wrong, morally and
economically, wrong. There never was
a time In the history of the world
when the socailed surplus of food
and clothing products would not have
been consumed, If the poor and starv
ing of the various nations had been
able to purchase their needs. If law
makers, like Mr. Fierce, would lend a
hand and help the needy procure
gainful work, so their wants could be
supplied by their own efforts, no help
would be required from tho govern
ment, snd the over production bugs
boo would Immediately vanish.
Prohibitive tariffs are the flowers
of human greed. They were the chief
cause of the world depression.. They
violate the commandment, "Thou
shalt not steal". They have been the
chief means of taking from the many
and concentrating in the handa of the
few. It haa been many times said,
ad never denied, that one thousad
persons own eighty per cent of the
wealth of the United States. This
leaves 30 percent for the remaining
139.090,000 inhabitants.
Instesd of placing stilts under the
farmer, congress should have knocked
them out from under the Industrial
ist. For sixty years voters were bun
coed with th spurious patter about
protecting infant Industries from the
pauper labor of Europe. Which has
the more paupers now, Europe or the
good old U. S. A.?
The limit of high protection came
with the passage of the celebrated
Smoot-Hawley bill, which climaxed
the depression and relegated Its ad
vocates to the political boneyard.
About thla time I wrote some verse
which seems apropos for closing this
epistle, for the benefit of Mr. Pierce.
A Tariff Lesson
Uncle Shy lock owned sn Island,
And built all round a "tariff wall"
So high the men of other Islands
Could never scale Its top at all.
Uncle Shylock roamed the Islands
Of all his neighbors when he would;
He winked one eye and asked his
neighbors
To call and see him when they could.
Uncle Shylock peddled peanuts
in an the countries he had barred.
And filled his coffers with maruma.
Also his lardera full of lard.

small. We raise a
garden and hogs

hard matter to
secure, through
the winter, a
proper diet.
Something ought
to be done about
. , . families, on
relief, aa well as
those who are trying to stay off of
relief, for they suffer from a de
ficiency of vitamins, iron, protein.
Their diet is chiefly starches. I know
of many cases here (farming coun
try in the midwest) where illness
and disease has claimed health and
life due to such nutritional defic
iencies. I know positively that fami
lies on relief have had to grovel and
cower and plead to get barely enough
to eat and wear. One little girl had
rickets, I believe, due to wrong diet.:
The mother was refused fresh fruits !
for her, and not until the doctor

It be possible for you to work out a :
diet containing sufficient iron, pro- j
telns and vitamins and publish it I

Fresh fruits have little or nothing
to do with rickets. Insufficient fresh
fruit or fresh green vegetables In the
diet would be a factor of scurvy.
Rickets Is due rather to Insufficient
fresh eggs, butter, milk and cream,
which are the best natural sources
of vitamin D. This Is the vitamin
which la necessary to prevent rickets
and weaknesa in muscle and bone;
not only that, but vitamin D pro
motes development of sound teeth.
Vitamin C, of which fresh fruits
or their Juices and fresh green vege
tables are the best natural sources,
is necessary not only to prevent
scurvy but also to preserve the teeth
against decay and the gums against
chronic Inflammation, sponglness.
bleeding, tenderness, pyorrhea, Rtgg's
disease, glglvltls.
These are among the Important
functions of vitamins O and D.
There are several other health-giving
or disease-preventing effects con
ferred by an adequate intake of
vitamins.
In the winter season when fresh
fruits and fresh vegetables are not
available, tomato or tomato Juice
factory canned (not home canned)
is perhaps the best source of vita
min C for infant or adult. The
canning process used in the factory
Is the vacuum process that is, the
food Is sealed in the can before it
Is cooked. Thus little or no air (oxy

Hhe was the apo thesis of all we
like to think of as essentially Amer
ican, yet he was so humsn, that a
sorrowing world will claim him as
their own, and mourn with us the
loss of our most universally beloved
citizen.
However, we cannot associate
mourning with the soul of this man,
so again we will try hard to smile
through our tears as we say "bon
voyage!" and "God be with you 'till
we meet again!" and In our hearts
a prayer that somehow, sometime,
somewhere, we all may meet him
again.

there is more or less oxidation dur

vitamin C. Factory canned tomato
Juice is practically equivalent to
any fresh fruit juice In vitamin C
content and this is fortunate for
Infants, for every Infant should re
celve a dally ration of tomato Juice
or fruit Juice to Insure an adequate
supply of vitamin C. Of course fresh
tomato Juice is preferable to canned
tomato Juice, if it Is available.
Probably two eggs a day would
provide all the vitamin D an adult
requires, but an Infant may need
more of this vitamin In proportion
with body weight.

ON UNFAIR LIST'
BY STATE
PORTLAND, Aig. 17. (AP)-VThe
Oregon Federation of Labor, having
nominated its officers and selected
Klamath Falls aa next year's meeting
place, concluded its 33rd annual con
vention here today with a parade of
union members through the city's
streets.
The convention resolved to plsce
Meier Sj Frank, department store, on
the "unfair list" because the store
will not enforce a "closed shop" in
Its truck driving department.
Other resolutions requested that all
WPA projects be transferred to PWA
which requires union wages; that all
unions contribute as much as pos
sible to the sawmill and timber work
ers' unions which are still on strike,
and that a recruiting campaign be
carried on among lumber and timber
workers.
An sppeal was made for voluntary,
contributions of ten cents a year
from all members for hiring an envoy
at the state legislature.
The report of the committee on
officers carried an attack on the of
fice of state budget director. The
committee described this office as a
political subterfuge to reward politi
cal henchmen.
"The greatest service a budget dir
ector could render the citizens of
the state." the report said, "would be
to advocate abolishing the office
which he holds."

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
HERB is probably the most Im
portant news paragraph, ever
printed In America:
"President Roosevelt sent the na
tion into a momentous governmental
venture today by signing the social
security bill."
(The social security bill, as every
one doubtless knows, undertakes to
provide pensions for the aged, un
employment compensation for those
who lose their Jobs and greatly In
creased health services at public
cost.)
THIS nation, Incomparably the
greatest on earth, with a fuller
measure of the good things of life
for EVERYBODY, big and little,
than any people ever enjoyed be
fore since time began, was founded
and grew up on the basic principle
that each shall look out for him
self, enjoying the fruits of his own
labors and suffering the consequences
of his own mistakes.
For this theory of rugged indi
vidualism, under which the nation
has become great, the social security
bill attempts to substitute the prin
ciple that ALL OF US must look
out for those of us who are unable,
for one reason or another, to look
out lor themselves.
That Is truly a radical change.
npHIS Insignificant writer, whose
X opinions are of no importance to
anyone save himself, FEARS the
social security bill, shudders at its
possible consequences, doubts If hu
man nature is sufficiently refined
and purified to make success for it
possible, but would have VOTED
FOR IT if a member of the present
congress.
M .
ITTHEN Columbus sailed, westward
TV into the unknown, he FEARED
the venture. On the basis of knowl
edge then existing, the chances were
all against its success. The proba
blllty was that it would end in dis
aster.
But some strong Inner urge to
find something better than had ever
been known before drove Columbus
on, ontwelghlng hts fears, and giv
ing him courage to proceed In the
face of opposition, skepticism end
ridicule.
He DID find something better
than had ever been known before
THE risks Involved In the social
security bill are great Indeed.
The cost of It may be more than
productive Industry can bear. It may
arouse false hopes and realization
that these hopes are Impossible ol
fulfillment may generate a back
wash of cynical disappointment that
might overwhelm our institutions
By removing the necessity on tne
part of each of us to look out for
himself and hla dependents, It may
destroy initiative and paralyze thrift.
These dangers that are so appar
ent now are as acute as were the
FANCIED dangers that confronted
Columbus. But if the venture does
succeed, as Columbus' did, we shall
have accomplished something mag
nificent for it would be truly mag
nificent to provide security for hu
tnan beings without destroying their
industry and paralyzing their thrift.
So let's conquer our fears and go
ahead, driven forward by -that urge
to find something better than has
ever been known before which has
been responsible for about all the
progress human beings have ever
made.
