C county farmers re port the best small grain crop of latent years. Medfo: How About U.S. Business? WHAT is the country's economic; situation st the present timet Here is the answer, from one authoritative source: "In the first place we assume the capitalistic order, ' whether one believes in it or doesn't, is permanent as far as this country is concerned and is the one with which we have to continue to work. It has, like any. economic system many faults. But we regard the faults as correct able. . The big job of the government is to correct them. "The American economic machine, during the last' boom, was 80 used, 20 idle. In the depth of . the depression it was about 60 used, 40 idle. "Thus even during the peak of prosperity it is clear ' the economic machinery we have, could produce more goods, from .20 to 40. ' ' "But it would be folly to produce more goods than can be consumed. And only in so far as mass purchasing power can be increased, can more goods be consumed. "Purchasing power of course depends upon income. What are the facts about mass income! 70 of trie families of this country, have an income of only $2500 a year and less. They spend practically all they have on necessities, most of it on food, just enough on clothing and fuel, to keep from freezing and out of jail. : "In other, words income isn't divided among the people in such a way as to increase purchasing power, to to the point where the economic machine can be utilized to its full capacity. More than that. What the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture maintains is a reasonable standard of living, has not been maintaiped as far as a vast ma jority of the people are concerned. To make such stan dards available to all, would require raising our present production by '75. (This means increasing it, by 50 above the maximum capacity, reached in the boom year of 1929). '"This could, be done technically speaking. But, as before stated it does no good to produce more than can be purchased, in fact quite the reverse. The market is glutted. Prices fall, profits also, another tail spin occurs. "What is the remedy f The depression was caused primarily not by over production, nor by excess capacity, but rather by the draining off of excess earnings, into the hands of. a relatively few persons, the 'relatively rich persons.' (This was not the sole cause, but the major one. Other causes were credit excesses, unbalanced trade relations, resulting from the war, slump of farm prices, excessive and unproductive speculation.) "Therefore the primary need today, to secure pros perity and make" it permanent is to distribute the ' NATIONAL INCOME MORE EQUITABLY AND GEN ERALLY AMONG THE MASSES, and thus increase mass purchasing power, and particularly the consumption . of the so-called necessities, the so-called consumer goods. "This does riot mean 'sharing the wealth' Huey Long style, because actual redistribution .of the country's wealth is physically impossible, it being mostly in land, buildings and plants. Moreover a mere per capita divi sion of current income is not sufficient; it is inadequate in amount.' ' , "Instead a wider distribution of present national inoomo ' ' is heeded, accompanied by an expanding volume of total income. Toward this end a constant effort should be '"' made to lower prices not raise them, and by increasing . . money wages greatly increase the MASS PURCHASING , POWER." DOES the above have a familiar soundl Those who have read this column the past year or so, have certainly heard a similar theme song before. To-wit: The best system thus far produced is the capitalistic system, but if it is to endure it must be reformed and chauged, to meet changed world con ditions. . The fundamental need, from both an economic and a social standpoint is to bring wealth, less concentrated in the hands of the few, more distributed into the hands of the many, not by trying to divide up what has been accumulated, which is impossible, but by making democracy under the capitalistic system, WORK. Work more fairly and equitably, not for a favored few but for all the people.- THAT, we have often stated, was President Roosevelt's FUNDAMENTAL aim, the objective of his New Deal, the reason this paper has supported him, and continues to sup port him, in his main purposes, though not in several of his second administration efforts which we regard as wrong. Well who is the authority quoted. President Roosevelt or any member of the New Dealt No, it's a sketchy but essentially accurate resume of the most recent report of the Brookings Institution. The Brookings Institution is the foremost author ity on contemporary economics in the country, acknowledged by all, as impartial, non-partisan, factually accurate, scientili.- cally correct. As far as economic truth can be determined, this organization DETERMINES it. . WE don't wish to give the impression the Brookiugs Insti tution gives the New Deal its blanket endorsement. It. wants a balanced budget. It wants the stabilization of gold. It wants all devices for curtailing production in both agricul ture and nidustry,' eased out of the picture, as soon as this can be safely done. But it does completely endorse the administration's CHIEF purpose which ito preserve the capitalistic system, by chang ing it, not organically but functionally; so that with more people benefitting by it, our democratic institutions under it may be preserved, not destroyed. Five Minutes for a Life RDINARILY sane persons In a hurry to get somewhere in an automobile are wont to throw caution to the winds as they open the throttle, skimp around oorners ignoring stop streets, arm signals, other traffic. They commonly commit any and all of these offenses to save time. ' Suddenly they may have to blast on the brakes. They may about, a fairer distribution of on red light intervals, screech escape with or without even a twisted hubcap; or they may crash sickeningly at death's door. ' These persons thread through the seiirry of modern traffic, with the excuse that the inevitable peril they presage is bal anced by the minutes spared. What they in fact are doing is demanding to trade 62.2 years for five danger-fraught minutes. The average man's life span today is 62.2 years. The time saved by reckless driving is five minutes and four seconds. Two cars, identically powered, were' "raced" over the same course through heavy city traffic and in less clogged areas, at the same time. One car was driven in careful' observance of the law and rules of safety; the other flouted as" many provi sions as reasonably possible during the trip. The "careless" car beat the "safety" car by five minutes and four second 0. S. M. A.

Pret tier babies have survived the second summer, thousands of them, but I'll never exact another dime for a copy of !'The Brady Better Baby Book" If you can line up another of her age (16 months) who has more sheer vite than Patsy has.

In practice, cas tor oil la iwed only In the treatment of diarrhea, becau by Its action It presumably sweeps out offending material and then locks the bowel for a while. "That Is not the main reason why the sane parent will carefully avoid resorting to castor oil or other physic without definite or specific prescrip tion by the physician. There would be no harm In locking up the bowel for a day or two or lor several days, no dire poisoning or autointoxication Lor other evil consequence.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS When Baby Travels -We are going to spend three weeks In the country. Our baby Is 18 months old, and we would like to know what you advise about feeding him in the country. The only milk we can get there is raw milk from a neighboring farm. (Mrs. S. M.) . Answer Bring the milk to a boll for one minute only, and It will be perfectly safe for the baby. On tratnu and in the better , hotels or restau rants the purest milk for a baby or anyone else Is Certified Milk of course, served in Its original bottle. Travelers or tourists can Insure the baby's safety when away from home by using only canned evaporated or condensed milk or one of the dr milk powders. While any of these ex cept Certified Milk Is being used It Is important to see that the baby receives dally some fresh fruit Juice or fresh fruit or tomato Juice, fresh or canned, to provide the vitamin C which is lacking in nearly all milk except fresh raw (Certified or ordin ary) milk.

Over on Third avenue the other night quite late a roysterer emerged from a beer place, all sheets to the wind and a friend of the world. Cross ing the street, he came upon a group of swells who had Just stepped, from a limousine. They were faultlessly dressed and the convivial stranger weaved up to them and pleaded: "Let's ahlng' someshin." One of the ladles, smiling her prettiest, replied: "Surely, what will it be? And In the middle of the block they joined in a rendition of "By the Old Mtll Stream." Such a thing at ten In the morning was unthinkable.

Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS HEADED for Hart Mountain, to attend the annual gathering of the Order of the Antelope. The Order of .the Antelope was formed five years ago to aid In pro tecting permanently the Hart Moun tain herd of antelope," believed to be the largest herd of antelope remain ing In America. It was sponsored by . the Lake county chamber of commerce and the Lake view 20-30 club. It is en tatned annually by these organiza tions.' Its members are scattered all over Oregon and Northern California. " CAMPED for the night at Deep Creek fish . hatchery, between Lake view and Adel. It never was much of a hatchery not much more than a vest-pocket affair and Isn't operating at all now. But the little stream that serves It with water, Is lovely, brawling down from springs up on the side of the mountain. (And water is water over In this corner of Oregon). AWAKENED at 4 a. m. by Hank Semon, chairman of the Joint ways and means committee at the last session of the legislature and hailed over here as the Klamath po tato king.

The sage la greener than anyone could really' expect sage to be. and at the bottom of every little draw la a clear creek. In the low flats, the grass la lush snd tall. OFF to the left, perhaps a quarter of a mile, a lithe shape appears against a background of gray-green sage Can It be an antelope? It IS I A moment later, other lithe shapes appear, and keep on appearing until 30 or 40 are visible. They watch us Intently, but do not move. We drive closer and still closer, coming up at en angle.- Then, suddenly, an antelope turns, and Its rump glistens white the an telope flag of warning., A moment later, the whole band la bounding away in the swift, graceful lope that covers ground ao amazingly fast. But they aren't much alarmed, and Instead of dashing straight away they circle and cross the road In front of us, not more than a block away. There must be nearly 60 In the herd. It's a sight to remember a long time. REMEMBER, please, that thla la FAR OUTSIDE the boundaries of the Hart Mountain reserve. Ante lope, of course, are perpetually pro tected In Oregon, but this herd has left It home range and la starting out to see the world. Antelope have been reported clesr over In the neighborhood of Bend, and well a to the north of Burns. From the nu cleus of Hart Mountain, they're be ginning to spread out over the wide stretches of desert to the north and the west. Soon, if all goes well, they'll be a fairly common sight In all this vast east of the mountains country.
