A PERPLEXED subscriber haa asked this paper to answer the following questions : Is the national debt now greater than ever before In tho country' history, Including the period at Uie close of the world war? Will this debt be Increased by the knocking out of the AAAT If the soldiers' bonus Is pused will the debt be Increased? Just what Is the amount of the national debt? Is It true that the national debt can not be paid off without Inflation or repudiation? In his recent message to congress did President Roouevelt , promise to balance the budget, and did he name a date when It would be balanced? Well here goes: . Tea, the national debt is now greater than ever before in cluding the close of tho world war period. . Unless some substitute for the AAA is provided, which also provides about half a billion dollars in revenue to make up for the wiping out of the processing taxes, the national debt will be increased by this amount. If a soldiers' bonus is passed, which calls for cash payments, the national debt will be increased by whatever the total amount of the payments may be; for in the estimates made re garding tho debt, no provision was made for such a payment. This is assuming no special tax is levied to supply the funds. The government's fiscal year runs from July to July. The national debt July 1st, 1935, was $28,701,000,000. Two years ago President Roosevelt estimated the national debt on that date would reach $31,834,000,000. The present national debt is slightly over $30,000,000,000. According to the most reliable experts, it is NOT true, the present national debt can not be liquidated without unregulated inflation or repudiation. In his. recent budget message, the president estimated the national debt on June 1st, 1937 at $31,351,000,000, roughly half a billion dollars less than the ostimated debt set for the end of the fiscal year 1935. . President Roosevelt in his message to the congress, did not promise to balance the budget, so of course no date for that happy event was named. He did say "We approach a balancing of the budget" and added: "National Income Increases. Tax revenues baaed on that In come Increase without the levying of new taxes. That la why I am able to say that It Is my belief that no new taxes over and above the present taxes are either advisable or necessary. National Income Increases; employment In creases. Therefore we can look forward to a reduction In the number of citizens who are In need. Therefore, also, we can anticipate a reduction In our appropriations for relief. In the light of our substantial material progress I recommend to the congress, ths,t we advance and do not retreat." Some idea of why there is no danger of national bankruptcy, and why heralding an "approach" to balancing the budget is .iustificd, may be found in the official estimate of total outlay revenue and iWicit for the nexf two years, and the same figures for the year just closed. 1935 . 1936 1937 Outlay $6,802,000,000 Revenue 3,800,000,000 Deficit $3,002,000,000 $ 518,000,000 i Obviously if federal revenues increase steadily at this rate, expenditures will have to decline very slightly to make a bal ancing of the budget possible in tho fiscal year 1938. The half billion dollar loss in processing taxes however is not included in these estimates, so the estimated 1937 revenue should be reduced by this amount. To sum up, The national debt is greater than it has ever been in the country's history j BUT if business improves in the immediate future as it has in the past, or even if it holds its own, there is nothing whatever to worry about, as far as the ability of this country to successfully handle such a debt burden is concorned.

Communications The Talk on Russia To the Editor: The lecture delivered Tuesday night In Medford called "The Truth About Russia" almost packed the ' great hall. Thla would Indicate, If It doea not prove, much Interest on the sub ject In this locality. Too bad so lit tle of the truth waa given for the money. The truth about Russia, a vast land where everything Is In rapid motion, cannot be grasped by any one person certainly not by anyone handicapped by religious convictions as deep as the lecturer s, such a mind is Incompetent because, as Relnsch has pointed out, It Is bur dened with "a system of scruples that present an obstacle to the free exercise of the acuities." To under stand the Ru:Uii scene the facul ties must be free. If rareto Is right in his claim that no man possesses free faculties It would alone explain the mass of contradictory report on Russia by travelers. The plcturea shown. It Is clslmed. are an 11-yeai collection. Many, no doubt were ancient. They seemed tc have been taken for the purpose of concesllng the truth rather than re- veslli:g It. Not one greet Indtistry ass shown, not one of the modern schools, hospitals, rest resorts, engin eering achievements, etc. Mr. Amlrrsnn holds thst the Bol sheviks Iwhlch mean maturity! are really ltm with a diilereut diius $7,093,000,000 4,411,000,000 $2,682,000,000 - $6,172,000,000 5,654,000,000 He sees their similarity but not their differences. K he knows wherein they differ, he kept quiet about It. If he believed that order could be maintained by means different from that now employed, he kept that to himself too. The Inefficiencies of the Russian productive forces was stress ed and Joked about. Great at It is. It Is nerhsps no greater than that of our own. produced as a result of Idleness which Is the big rector in making children underprivileged jnd for whose benefit the lecture waa delivered. The lecture waa not confined to the subject. Hitler's war machine was sandwiched In where It did not belong. So were his (Andersons) views on religion. But the proceeds of the talk go to help a good move ment which Justifies the money get ting under false pretenses. R. HKONER, Gold Hill, Jsn. R, 1030. VALLEY SCHOOL open second sem ester Jan. 7.

Foods or diet quacks In this coun try and abroad still have a lot of wise-acre customers fussing about the Imaginary danger or objection to taking sugar or other sweets tether with protein material.. The gifted charalatans divine from their own Inner consciousness that these two food materials cannot digest properly If taken mixed together or In the same meal; Indeed they conjure up frightful pictures of dire chemical reactions betwees the carbohydrate and the proteld with the generation of- poisons of one sort or another In your midst, If you are ignorant of physiology. It doesn't cramp the style of your self-constituted food or diet specialist a little bit, that sugar or starch natutuly grows with protein In such Items as mother's milk, wheat and the like. He la shrewd enough to know his customers are unedl.Tated they'd never take him and hla appeal seriously if they had as much aa a high school education. Growing children, adolescents, youtha and young adults who work or play hard every day car. and should have a liberal ration of sugar or aweets In their dally diet. Cane sugar Is well digested," quickly ab sorbed, highly sustaining food. It wards off physical or muscular ex haustion or fatigue. Tc la as good for the heart muscles aa It Is for the vol untary muscles. Cane sugar In any form syrup, ice cream, candy, pie, pudding, cake, sweetened tea or cof fee dr fountain beverage, may fairly be called a heart tonic. It la at least equal to any other sugar we have glucose or dextrose, levulose. fructose, maltose, lactose (the sugar of milk); but If plain cane sugar (beet sugar Is cane sugar) is unavailable or not so pleasing to the palate aa any of these other sugars, there Is no reason why tiny one should not switch to the sugar he prefers. Molasses, sorghum, maple syrup, honey they're all prac tically aa nourishing, wholesome and digestible aa cane sugar. Crude sug ar, brown sugar and refined white WASHINGTON NEXT 8ALBM. Jsn. 11.

It la not from prejudice against sugar and sweets, for certain ly I like 'em, but from long study and observation that I say the mature adult who finds himself or herself growing gradually more pudgy and dumpy and less active and alert, is generally suffering from excessive carbohydrate consumption, and a month without sugar added to food or drink or the use of sweetened bev erages or dishes, and without dessert on top of a full stomach, will usually prove to such an unfortunate that his or her trouble Is too much sugar. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Frost or Steam on Windows Why la It that the windows of our house always seem to be more or leas frosted when It Is very cold, while the windows of our neighbors remain clear? Does that mean the air is too damp or that we don't have enough heat? The house seems comfortable enough. (Mrs. B. C. C.) Answer It means that the air of your neighbors' houses Is too dry. Some condensation of "steam" on the window panes, when the outdoor temperature la below freezing, is a fair .sign that a fair degree of humid ity Is maintained In the heated air in the house, and that conduces to com fort aa well as health. I odln HoUon for Expectant Mother For several years we have been us ing your lodin ration in our family with ilne results. Now I am expect ing a baby and wonder whether I should continue taking lodln . , . (Mrs. L. R.) Answer It Is a good plan for ex pectant and nursing mothers to take an lodin ration, especially in goitrous districts. But you had better ask your own physician about it. Cocoa What effect will be caused by drinking three cups of hot cocoa daily? Was told It la very heating and will cause one's blood to thicken. (Mrs. J. J. S.) Answer Cocoa yields 200 calories to the cupful, Including the sugar and milk. It Is neither "heating" nor doea It "thicken the blood". Its effect aside from the nutritive value indicated. Is similar to the effect of tea. Cocoa Is not advisable for chil dren because it gives a false sense of satisfaction and prevents the child from taking other and more essential foods. Cocoa stimulates the kidneys another reason why It Is not advis able for children. Ed. Note: Persons wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letter direct to Dr. William Brady, M.

Catlett. , -I m mm Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS. A READER of this column writes: "In your column, comment ing on the day's news, there Is this statement: 'Thla omlnoua headline meets the eye: CONGRESS SWINOS INTO ACTION. " 'Shudderlngly, fearfully, cyni cally, we ask ourselves thla ques tion: What kind of action?" "I would Inquire: if you con template the assembly of the congress with such shuddering, cynical fear, what would you do about It If you had the power? Would you abolish the congress?" ABOLISH CONGRESS? May heaven forbid! This writer's criticism of congress during the past couple of years Is that it has ABOL ISHED ITSELF. I WHAT we need, above everything i else In this country right now. Is to have restored to us a REAL CONGRESS, with a working ma jority composed of courageous states men Instead of spineless opportun ists who are ready to rubber-stamp ANYTHING that seems to promise votes at the moment. WHILE we are on the subject of politics, note carefully thla sen tence from an Associated Press Washington dispatch: "Roosevelt administration officials from the White House emphasized again and again today (Wednes day) that the supreme court Justices handed down TWO opinions (ma jority and minority) In the case that wrecked AAA." To be sure they did. And at the election In 1932 the VOTERS handed down two opinions a majority and a minority. The majority opinion favored Roosevelt and the New Deal and the minority opinion favored something else. The MAJORITY OPINION pre vailed. NOW note THIS sentence from the same dispatch: "There was evidence (In Washing ton on Wednesday, following the AAA decision) that administration leaders hope the nation will REJECT the constitutional views of the su preme court's majority and eventu ally follow the course upheld by .the minority.' Well, a lot of people hope that at the next election the nation win reject the views expressed by the majority of the voters at the last election and eventually follow the course upheld by the minority." So, you see. It's an even break. BY THE WAY, have you heard the latest New Deal story, which runs something like this: Back in the days when they were killing the pigs and the veal calves, etc., they started a New Deal crew out from Washington with Instruc tions to go to each farm, kill halt the animals of certain kinds, they found, pay the farmer for them ana go on. "But," the crew protested, "we don't know one farm animal from another. What If we make a mis take and kill the wrong kind?" "Oh, that's easy," was the reply. "Here's a book, with pictures. 11 you're in doubt about any animal you find, Just look In the book." SO the crew took the book and started out and got along all right until the foothills of the Rockies were reached. Here they ran into a band of goats, and were STUMPED. They looked In the book, but it didn't seem to enlighten them, tfo they sent this telegram to Washing ton: "Find strange animal not in book Has sad face, long white whiskers and mud all over Its feet. What shall we do." This answer came by return wire: "For heaven's sike don't kin That's the farmer we're trying to help." 4 Phone 543. We'll haul away youi refuse. City Sanitary Service.
