Defense Savings Stamps UPHOLDING glorious traditions of 1898 and 1917, Oregon today has recognized the seriousness of the present emergency and has taken her place among the leaders in patriotic cooperation with Uncle Sam's defense effort. Citizens of this state have ever been prompt and willing to serve when the situation has called for action. Today, this nation is facing stern realities. America is irrevocably committed to the cause of crushing Nazism and Fascism. This is no time for compla cency, no time for hesitation, or division. The emergency calls for vigorous support of ALL citizens. More thr.u ever America must become the arsenal of democracy. That calls for billions of dollars and part of this huge bill must be paid through the current Defense Savings program. XITH energy and enthusiasm, Oregon is doing her TT bit in this cause. Jackson County, not without her own traditions of patriotic service, i3 doing her share in this vital task of financing defense and she will do more, in the days ahead. The Defense Savings campaign is swinging into DUSINESS firms of this community have recog nized the importance of this Defense Savings Stamp program and have generously provided the much-needed outlets for their sale. Booths and stamp counters are now being placed in almost all stores and shops, Defense Savings Stamps will be more easily purchased than postage stamps, clerks will suggest to their patrons that change be converted into this medium of thrifty saving. We heartily commend the business firms of this city for their valuable assistance to a vital and worthy cause. This step is certain to stimulate the sale of Defense Savings Stamps throughout this area. RJATIONAL unity, morale and good will cannot be A ' advanced by high pressure selling methods in this defense financing effort. Purchases must be entirely voluntary. The largest possible number of people should have a part in footing the national de fense bill after all, everyone has a pretty sizable stake in the outcome of this crisis. ' THERE are many reasons why Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps should be purchased in gener ous amounts. First of all the funds are urgently needed for de fense expenditures right now. Moreover, they will minimize a tendency toward rising prices by curtail ing buying in competition with the defense program. Inflationary increase in prices cannot be prevented by price control legislation alone. IF public purchas ing power can be reduced, however, through the sens ible plan of diverting that power to defense financing, America's economic position will be much more secure in the days ahead. TTHE understanding cooperation of every citizen is so important. The clangers of post-war adjust ments are as serious as this nation's immediate prob lems. How helpful these Defense Savings will be to fam ilies and individuals when this period of economic adjustment is at hand. How stimulating will be their effect when released into industries. How many sorely needed jobs they will provide when America's armies are demobilized and the need of being the arsenal of democracy has passed. Yes, from every viewpoint it is the thing to do buy every Defense Stamp are the world s safest investment they are actually lfe insurance for Uncle Sam! H. G. Stop the Money Waste JAMES Truslow Adams, oiilVirtt will niinMf V rv ing. Ihe following messaee importance, to this community and the country. We not only wish evervone would read it, but take the action Mr. Adams suggests: Senator Byrd's amendment to the income tax bill, at passed by the United States Senate, points to a way so honest and simple, by which we can at least try to help ourselves, that it seems incredible that every citizen and every Repre sentative in congress should not work for it as he would work to save his boat from sinking or his house from burning. The issue it raises confronts the people of this country with a fundamental decision. On the surface it may not seem to be a decision that affects our constitutional form of govern ment, but in reality it may well prove to be Just that because there la no telling what form a government may assume in national bankruptcy. I say bankruptcy because when running fur office in 1932 Mr. Roosevelt himself assured us in the most solemn manner that the course which he claimed the Republicans had been pursuing, (and that this nation has now been pursuing for nine more years) would lead us to that. "If." he said "like a spendthrift, tour government) throws discretion to the winds, is willing to make no sacrifice at all in spending, extends its taxing to the limit of the people's power to pay and continues to pile up deficits, it is on the road to bankruptcy." . Never were truer words spoken, and they formed the sol emn warning to us of a man who has been President for longer than any other in all our history. I am not here indulging in in any recriminations or partisan politics. I am mereiy point ing to the words the President himself used in the past, words which bear a more fateful implication for every man. woman and child of this nation today than when Mr. Roosevelt first made his prophecy and his pledge to save us from the disaster he predicted. Let us make every allowance for what has happened to raise our debt to the undreamed of figure of and now preparation for defense and perhaps the greatest war over fifty billion dollars. There has been the great depression, and now preparation for deiense and perhaps the greatest war in our annals. We have had to spend sums which would have seemed fan tastic to an earlier generation, but neither a man nor a nation can avoid the results of acts merely because he has been or has believed himself to be. forced to commit them. . . We now have this colossal and crushing debt, but we still have ahead of us the cost of perhaps financing a war. the dis location of all our economic structure, and. after the war, industrial chaos and unemployment far lewm 1 what we have yet suffered, if we do need,' as we have to, to spend more high gear. the arteries of business and and Bond possible. They well known publicist and rnmnininff titviA Vi i a wirtn written bv him. is of treat huge sums, that is no reason why we should spend where we do NOT have to. The President was indubitably right in what he said above in 1932. Ha would be right if he repeated his words today. Accident or unavoidable disease may cause a man to die a natural death, but if he commits suicide it is due to his own folly or weakness. In the midst of the demands for these billions we are pouring out, we are apparently squander ing more billions in non-essential and non-defense expendi tures which we could avoid, and to that extent help ourselves from going over Niagara to bankruptcy or inflation, which will ruin every home in the land. There are things we cannot cut down on for the present but there are many non-essential things on which we can. Senator Byrd thinks $2,000,000,000 of them. Are we too lazy, too thoughtless, too selfish, to allow him, by his plan of a committee to consider these things, to make the slightest effort to save the national finances from ruin? We will fight, we will pay taxes. Will we do everything except THINK for the country? We are asked to make sacrifices. We will, but if WE why not the groups and bureaus who like leeches are sucking the financial life Mood of the nation? Make no mis take. The people who will suffer will be people like you and me who are working hard to maintain modest homes by our own work. If Senator Byrd is not supported by US In his effort to bring sanity and honesty into government spending, we will get only what we deserve. Congress hearkens when the people speak. It is no use to say to your neighbor that you do not know where, we shall get off. "Get off" today, and let your Congressman know that you will do all you can to back this country in any needed expenditure for defense and war and essential functions but that you are sick and tired of UNNECESSARY spending. Tell him that you will no longer stand for it. "Millions for defense but not one cent for" needless experiments or graft or pet projects of anyone whomsoever. The prospect is grim for us all. Let your Congressman know that it may be grim for him too if he heedlessly insists on politics and "busi ness as usual." Tell him YOU WANT THE BYRD AMEND MENT TO THE TAX BILL PASSED.

Addrss Dr. William Brady, tea El Camlno, Beverly Hill.. Calif. MRS. WISEACRE New acquaintances well, many of them contribute to the make-up of the mythical Mrs. w lseacre wno writes: For many years we have been taught to use citrus fruit and tomato juice in abund ance for cleans ing the body of acidity, which was the cause of rheu m a t i a m and every sort of infection the human family is heir to The human family ia not heir to any Infection, so far as we know. But Mrs. Wiseacre uses the term "infection" in the Pick wickian sense, probably. For years has been absorbing the glib pseudo-scientific instruction of a charlatan who calls him self "Doctor" but has no degree recognized by an educational in stitution. Mrs. Wiseacre lightly brushes this quibble aside and continues her lecture: It has become not only a habit but a pleasure to flush our livers with these great cleansers which we learned should be used between meals, or not too close to the general meals. I'm so sorry Mrs. Wiseacre could not take time out to ex plain to me, in words of one syllable , Just why the great cleansers should not be used at mealtime. But, alas, some other charla tan has gotten Mrs. Wiseacre's ear. This chap warns her that citrus fruits, tomatoes, water melon, strawberries and rare beef, as well as pineapples, cherries, apples and grapes, con tain "an acid which is poison to the Joints." The lady de clares: My aim has been to learn the art of feeding the human ma chine, that I might help others, as well as myself. . . Perhaps Mrs. Wiseacre con templates going into the business of food specialism as soon as she can accumulate a working capi tal of such misinformation as she quotes above. It ia an easy way to separate suckers from their money. My entire reaction through many years has been alkaline though every one who diagnosed my condition offhand has con sidered it too acid. . . . Shucks, the customer must give the food specialist a break. How can he do his stuff if the customer refuses to be too acid citrue fruits, tomatoes, water It is a mystery how the Wise acres determine their acidity or alkalinity. In that they have the physicians, physiologists and chemists baffled. There is no conceivable dr- cumstant-e in which it matters at all whether the items of your diet contain or leave alkaline acid or neutral ash or residue so far as health or the preven tlon and treatment of disease may be necessary to deal with'pn'e. although all the mem acidosis, as a complication orjbers of the commission and the effect of disease or illness. but'n're personnel of the recently in such cases the condition is appointed subcommittees are always serious enough to de-'m'n no hold executive posi mand medical care, and in any i 'on w'th oil companies, and case the patient who is well ad-1 majority of them are resi- i vised will leave entirely to the ! physician the regulation of the jjjet, .. jt Tto At ssr Hut and Cold WH1 hot toi put directly In th. refrigerat.., .poll o, rvm.

K.IIt- (Note: During the absence of Mr. Kelly on vacation his dally column will bo written by Mr Paul Dunham, member of our Washington. D. C. staff). By Paul Dunham Washington, D. C. Sept. 13. While less is heard in the national capital of the threaten ed rationing of gasoline in the Pacific northwest, it is begin- ning to be questioned whether Secretary tckes was wise in his selection of an oil company of- ficial for acting petroleum co- ordinator. Ralph K. Davies. wno holds this position, is not sus pected of manipulating affairs to the advantage of the oil corn- n,n" ot Iscw or" -ll- i 50 " th rationing of gaso- line nas oeen a sorry laiiure; instead of decreasing the quan- ti,y usfj tne effect has been exactly the opposite, and more kuom( u Mld todlv m th ,, ,. before the futile "tmP ? - made. Sales at filling stations have Increased enormously dur ing the hours they are permit ted to Stay open, while the night closing has thrown thou sands of men out of work. There is every reason to believe that a similar result would fol low extension of the rationing order to the Pacific coast. Railroad officials have stated, and have presented figures to prove the truth of their asser tion, that there are plenty of tank cars lying idle on side tracks to supply any part of the United States with an abundance of gasoline and fuel oil. If there should be an oil and gasoline shortage in the northwest the fault would be with government planning ana the oil companies themselves, certain railroad officials have declared, and people who have seen long lines of tank cars standing idle on grass-growr. sidetracks throughout the United States are inclined to agree with them. . WESTERN sugar beet grow ers and beet sugar factories are coming into their own despite the severe handicaps which have been placed upon them by the cane sugar division of the industry and it is expected that new beet sugar factories will be built in several places in the Pacific northwest where sugar beet growing tests have been carried on for several years. Because of being forced to com pete with low-cost cane sugar the sugar beet industry I as been of slow growth, but it has now attained the point where it supplies one-fourth of all the sugar consumed in the United States. Because the cane sugar in dustry in Cuba is owned prac tically entire by American in terests the beet people have faced a powerful lobby In con gress and in late years have been unable to secure reason able increase in the quota al lotted them under the AAA pro gram. Supplementing the activ ities of the cane people, too, has been the traditional policy of coddling Cuba, inherited from the McKinley regime and the war with Spain. This influence is gradually lessening and the day may not be far distant when ';he beet growers will come into their own. ONE result of employing Dutch metallurgists to operate the government financed tin smelter being built at Texas City, Texas, with funds sup plied by Jesse Jones of Recon struction Finance corporation, himself a citizen of Texas, is an order by. the Metals Reserve company, an RFC subsidiary. to purchase 20,000 tons of tin . v. n.,h r,.i TnHine Heretofore the only tin ore I called them all In before noon under contract for the Texas ! that day, read his speech para smelter was 18.000 tons a year graph by paragraph and invited from Bolovla. The South Amer - ican ore is of low grade and smelting it is more costly than the treating of the East Indies product. However, by mixing the two a fair quality is obtain ed and the cost of smelting re duced. The only question is wnether the far east situation will remain peaceful long enough to permit delivery of the East Indies purchase. . THE charge frequently heard in past years that American munitions makers were agita-i tors for war because of the ex cessive profits which they ! might reap, should be changed now to at least include the cig-aret-makers in warmongering accusations. For reasons which were obvious at the time enor mous quantities of, cigarets sent to soldiers and the suddenly de veloped addiction to smoking by women the use of cigarets : leaped to unheard of heights following the last world war, by 1920 reaching a volume of SO billion fags. Cigaret smoking increased steadily In the ensuing vears and in 1939 one hundred and sixty billion were being con sumed annually in the United States. Members of the indus try gloomily predicted that the saturation point had about been reached and no hope existed for further expansion.

Announcement of the sinking of the American-operated Sessa. you will recall, was delayed from August 17, when she went down, until September 9, when a few of her survivors were picked up. It is the custom of maritime authorities to let out no word of a ship's disappear ance until long after all logical hope has been abandoned, but these two are already unoffi cially counted as lost.
