His successful domination of the reich has gone to his head, he has enlarged his ambitions far beyond its borders and he is determined to get what he wants with the use of gunpowder and steel if necessary to his aims. It seems impossible at this moment to contemplate his accomplishment of those aims without war. To hope for neace reciuires optimism, indeed. The only premise on which such hope can be based is that all nations will yield to Hitler's wishes. If a four-power agreement is reached among Germany, Italy, France and England, it will probably embody the realization of those desires. Europe presents such a picture of rampant and con flicting nationalism, of diplomatic intrigue, of bristling armaments controlled either by ambitious egotists or those mortally fearful of them, that the American citi zen can only thank his stars he is as far removed as he is from it all. - And that may not be far enough. February 22, 1938 W7ASHINGT0.N. 111 rd Worth-while Enterprise PARTICULARLY worth while is the American Legion essay contest, which has just been concluded, be cause it impelled a large number of students in Klamath county high schools to examine their own thinking about their country, its accomplishments and its prospects. The young people were asked to write, in general, on their ideals for America. A person may have certain ideas about such things, but putting them down on paper commits him more definitely to them. They stand there openly as the things which he believes; in a way, they mark a course for him to follow. Some 129 young people wrote essays in the con test, the winners of which will be announced at an Amer icanization and defense meeting at the Legion hall Wed nesday evening. The experience these youngsters had, in determining just what their ideals are for their country, and setting them out in writing, was one that should be profitable to them as citizens. In that the essays will give a cross-section of youth ful thinking on American problems and hopes, their useiumess snouia go oeyond the individual benefits they may bring to their writers. The Legion's enterprise in sponsorsnip or me contest is commendable and worthy. Farmers Take Stock r ARMERS of the Klamath country will meet Wednes- i day to take stock of the past and the future. Their agricultural economic conference will follow the lines of successful conferences held in past years, when problems and prospects on the farms of this great area were rec ognized and intelligently considered. This district is blessed with an unusually sound and able class of farmers, far removed from the simple hay seed of the funny stories. Many of them go about their occupation with the cool calculations of the most suc cessful business men. And these men are successful farmers. Committees of farmers and farm women have been meeting over a period of several weeks, preparing exten sive and inclusive reports on the topics of farm crops, livestock, land utilization and home and rural life. Their reports, to be read and corrected at the big meeting Wednesday, will contain a vast volume of information on Klamath agriculture and recommendations which will help direct its course along sound and progressive lines ii wit; iieAb lew years. Feb. J J The basket tax. more ac curately known as the third sledgehammer, apparently la jo in to be forced through congress by executive hook or crook. So (ar the crook la being used more effectively than the hook. It Is fairly veil known that Mr. Roosevelt called two rebel lious house ways and means com mittee democrats down to the White House for a cbat when he found a majority against the treasury proposal to punish one- ramtiy corporations. The result was not satisfactory. The hook caught only one of the two, Representative McCormlck of Massachusetts remained obdurate, What is not generally known that a little treasury crook brought around the other demo crats for sure, and a third on not-so-sure. The device used was a plan to increase exemptions so the tax would apply to corpora tions earning more than $75,000 instead of 150,000. This and some other minor cushions, de signed to lift the sledgehammer from some small furniture and other dealers, appeared to be sut flclent to get the bill out of com mittee. As a matter of fact, the trea sury did not tell the converted trio, but 7S,000 exemption was allowed In its original plan, so really did not give up any more than was originally intended. SIDE GLANCES by Corf Clark XOX-READIXG VOTERS A few more hooks and crooks and possibly a couple of additional cushions may be necessary to get tne sledgehammer finally enact ed. The house will be amenabl enough, because most members outside the committee do not comprehend tax bills. For prime Instance, a prominent house member whose name la widely known greeted the admtnlstra tlon drafting wizard. Fred Vinson of Kentucky, In the elevator th other day. After asking a few questions about the bill, besald "Well I'll vote for your bill, Fred because I know you drew it, and it's a good bill, but I don't pro mise to read it." That la the temper of the house. SENATE ROAD ROUGHER Apprehensions of Interested businessmen -re being pacified by the official Inside tip that the senate will dissolve the third sledgehammer. The senate fi nance committee is lined up de terminedly against It, and so Is tne senate, wnere the average le- gislator bas had more taxation experience than In the house. But the determination of the administration to get the rrovi- slon through the bouse, as shown by the delay in reporting the bill for more than- a month (it was promised January 15) Is sufficient indication that the treasury has not lost hope. It has a plan. If all goes well, the house will approve the provision, the senate win eliminate It, the bill will then go to conference, where the trea sury expects to draft It back Into the final form of the legislation- and probably will. The Family Doctor By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American , ML e O I c a 1 Association, and of Hygela, the Health Magazine D0CT0RS re Drone t0 ascribe many of the most serious con ditions that affect human beings louay 10 tne new type of strain and stress that has come upon mankind with the machine age. For instance, the steady and per anum rise in aiBDetes, the In creasing number of cases of ner- voua breakdown, ulcers of the stomach and the Intestines, and the blocking of the blood vessels of the heart are conditions which are in various ways related to the new type of stress and strain. Men particularly seem to be subject to ulcers of the stomach and the Intestines, and there has oeen a steady and definite rise in the number of deaths from this cause In the last 20 years. Strangely, the number of deaths in women from this cause seems to be steadily decreasing. The number of deaths among white men Is almost five times as great as the number among white wom en. Even though colored people do not suffer as much with this tnsease as ao tne white, the num ber of deaths among colored mn is twice as many as among col- orea women, incidentally these ulcers appear most often in men between the ages of 30 and 60, although occasionally they can be found In people of all ages. There are, of course, other con ditions associated with the causa tion of ulcers besides the nervous contribution. There has been a wide Increase In the amount of ulcers of the stomach seen In Ger many and Russia since tha World credit this to the widespread de pression, fatigue, worry and low ered resistance rather than to the fact that the diet Includes largely coarse, rather indigestible and ir ritating food. In addition, however, to the fac tors that are In the constitution and character of living of the per son concerned, there seems to be the possibility of damage to the lining of the stomach either by a secretion that Is too highly acid, a disturbance of the blood supply or an Infectious agent. Possibly all of these factors are necessary or perhaps a group of them work ing together before an ulcer of the stomach or Intestines will de People who develop ulcers of the stomach or Intestines are usually to remember that they have had some trouble with their digestion for several years. Then when the ulcer develops there Is a pain that comes on regularly after meals and which gradually uwappears oerore the next meal or else a pain that continues until the next meal or until some food Is taken. Nevertheless nven this t t absolute. The character of the pain and the time when the naln occurs vary according to the place at which the ulcer Is located. For Instance, when naln lUvainn. shortly after a meal, the ulcer may bo In the upper side of the stomach. If It comes on ahnut on or two hours after eating, it may be In the valve through which the food passes from the stomach to the Intestine, and if It comes on many ana Russia since tha World from twn t , ,... l,r . War and it 1. ,h. inclination to &t lZX&VZtF NO EXPLANATION The determination to force through a provision which a ma jority on both house and senate committees believes to be unfair discrimination against one-family corporations, nas not been explained. The treasury side of the story is that certain "big fellows" like Henry Ford have, avoided paying high income surtaxes (say 60 per cent) by leaving their earnings In their corporations and paying around 20 per cent one fifth of their earnings to the government instead of three fifths. But the treasury insists It Is not trying to penalise Ford, the Du Fonts and other of its political opponents, contending, at the same time, that the third sledgehammer will not hit Ford. The official contention Is the tax will hit only 450 to 1000 corporations by making mem pay 32 per cent (approxl mateiy one-tnird of their earn ings) while their competitors in business, across the street may pay only Is to 20 per cent, but the treasury will not disclose the Identity of those who are to get the sledgehammer. Note Modification of the capi tal gains tax Is likely to follow the same course. The strong modification planned in the sen ate is apt to be eased by a com promise with the milder house form In the last analysis. MR. O. SPEAKS OUT Happenings In that White House conference concerning war debts could not have been locked up more securely if the conference had been held In a safety deposit box. ' Congressional participants still refuse to talk, but from sources close to the White House (with in 100 feet to be exact) it is learned Mr, Garner, the V. P., led a determined opposition to any debt down-scaling at this time. Mr, O spoke up In, a tone ne nas not employed at tne White House since he raised the execu tive roof (but failed to move the president) demanding action against sltdown strikers. Rep. Doughton and Senator Harrison were behind him but apparently quite a distance behind. Mr. Roosevelt did not try to ell the idea very hard, merely submitting to the congressional authorities the feeler for a down ward revision ot the Hungarian post war debt, All apparently well knew that behind tha Hun-i -" - - . " '" mi CENTRAL LABOR COUNC L BACKS BOX CAMPAIGN "They're exactly like their parents." garlan hint was the fine British hand of Mr. Chamberlain. One man has been eliminated from the 1940 presidential race. Republican Senator Capper has quietly answered a flattering let ter from a constituent, stating be is not and has no intention ot be coming a candidate in 1940. This leaves only slightly more than 100,000,000 people still In the race. SEED INEXPENSIVE Oregon potato growers, who want good seed, have a rare op portunity to bur It tbla year at very mtie expense, sava E. R. Jackman, extension crop specialist at Oregon state college. High prices tor potatoes often create a demand for good seed For example, certified seed cost 13 to 14 a hundred last soring. The same product costs SI this year. Many wise potato arowara ara taking advantage ot low prices to get good certified seed. All conn. ty agricultural agents have lists ot growers of certified potatoes.

The first of a series of Sunday school services conducted by the visiting evangelist, Dr. A. 8. Lon don of Bethany, Okla., was en thusiastically received Monday night, when the First Covenant church was well filled. Dr. Lon don chose as his subject, "Why Are Twenty Seven Million Youths Not In Sunday School Today!" Dr. London suggested the fol lowing answers: (a) wo have not taken the Sunday school business seriously; (b) as a church world we do not love children and youth; (c) we have not gone after thorn. Members of the Nazarene church were scheduled to hear Dr. London at 7:30 o'clock Tues day night, and Wednesday after noon the evangelist will speak In the Immanuel Baptist church at 3:30 o'clock and In the evening at 7:30 o'clock. The federal surnlus commodi ties corporation has received re quests for the purchase of pota toes for relief purposes from Bak er, Umatilla, Deschutes and Mal heur counties.

Few offers are being received by the FSCC from Klamath grow ers at the present time, Indicating that greater need tor this service might exist In some of the above mentioned counties than in Klam ath. For the time being, at least. the Klsmath office will contlnuo to accept offers, and no Immediate change In headquarters seems to be contemplated.
