Right, Mr.. Requa
nearer.

With Mark Lawrence Requa, MIR. Hoover's friend
and oil authority, ndiyduas is religion and pater-
nasm anathema. He has written a book warning
against government in business" Yet Requa
can not stand by and watch individualisr run amuck
in the oil industry without alarm.
It is bit ironical that Requa of all men is crit
icised for his threat made at the recent Colorado
Springs conservation conference, that unless the oil
industry voluntarily co-operated in conservation the
government would have to step in. Said he:
IF and when government has made it possible for
the industry to cooperate and and that
operation and conservation is not forthcoming, then
acting in behalf of national need, none will be more
insistent than myself in urging rigid government
coercive regulation. Failure on the part of an in
dustry grasp its opportunities would merit just that
alternative"
And, pray, why not?
The rest of US are coercivey regulated from the
time we're born under the of licensed doctor
and in licensed hospital until we're embalned
and buried by licensed embaner and undertaken.
Professions, banks, public and quaspublc utilities
all are under the rigid hand Of state regulation;
everything it seems, but the sacred of private
business.
Every expert is aghas at the folly of the American
oil industry. Here is natural resource, limited and
irrepaceable upon which industrial civilization
depends for survival Yet those to whom its eXpolta-
ton is entrusted engaged in contest to who
can produce and waste the most oil in the shortest
time!
AS unwiSe as the lumber barons who have
slashed our forests to one-fth of their original with
out replenshment the oil kings quarrel compete
pump and dump, send millions into the air gas and
leave billions in the ground sands oil.
And when quasi-oficial utterance even sug-
gests government regulation they raise the cry of
paternalsin.
In view of the tragic possibilities in the situation,
the only legitimate criticism of Requas threat that
it didn't go far enough.

as the conservatives were creating atmosphere
the liberals are developing spirit Of inter-

Our country was first. We got results not by

Trade War

In some Of its practical aspects the meeting OF the
international Chamber OF Commerce at Amsterdam
is more significant than any meeting Of the League
Of Nations One deals with business, the other with
phases of political government and business touches
our daily lives more closely than politics
Just at time when political diplomats are getting
their heads together to devise ways and means OF
averting war between armed forces there is imminent
danger of trade war; the consequences Of which might
be as disastrous as armed The cause Of dissen-
sion at the moment is the new tariff bill at Wash
izton in which certain business interests appear to be
irving to prove to the rest Of the world that We can
eat our cake and still have it,
One Of the possible consequences is trade union

The Tariff Problem

MYTH that old friend "the ex-
w portable surplus" looming up
and bad tariff bill to revise, Mr..
Hoover has quite enough on his
hands.
Though one would hardly guess
it from the talk, these two are in
separately connected.
The question on what to do with
our "exportable surplus" whether in
farm or manufactured products, de-
pends on the market abroad, and
the market abroad depends on how
other people like our tariff laws.
twenty-five governments already
have protested against the Hawley
bill in one respect or another.
AS Senator Borah points out, we
should not be guided entirely by
their attitude, but common sense
suggests that we can not ignore 1t.
To the same extent that we have
right to make tariffs, they have a
right to retaliate, and if we provoke
them enough, they will.

Bright's disease after the British

The treatment of the disease of
the kidney is related largely to a
removal OF the various foci Of in
lection which may be responsible
for sending germs to the kidney.
Such patients have their personal
hygiene carefully regulated, includ-
ing rest, exercise, outdoor air, work,
clothing, sunlight, and similar fac
tors.

handle the usual amounts Of pro-
tein, water, salt, and eXtractives and
it is necessary to limit the intake OF
these factors in the diet.
The number of Galleries to be
taken is regulated according to the
age, sex, weight, and occupation Of
the person concerned. Proteins,
condiments, salt, ard fluids usually
are restricted. Some authorities
also restrict the purine foods parti-
cularly.
The diet must be laxative so as to
make elimination through the
bowels easy. Finally, because Of the
danger of acidosis, the diet is not
infrequently of an alkaline char

Editor Times-Your editorial of
July 10, under the caption of In
FAINT or Imbecile," certainly was
timely and to the ponit.
The restrictions placed upon the
city government by the state tax
board and by inumerable other state
boards are a serious hindrance to
the proper development and growth
of our city.
The problem is one which ulti-
mately must be solved by granting to
the citizens and taxpayers OF IN
dianapons the right and privilege TO
rule themselves and to control their
own financial affairs.
The Judgment of the city authorl-
ties as to what is best for our city
should be final, when approved by
the taxpayers.
The time has come when a city
the size of Indianapolis should be
granted a home-rule government,
for the purpose OF controlling and
managing its own financial affairs.
The debt limitation placed on our
city is entirely too low and pre-
cludes the possibility of making the
necessary public improvements.
Our school board also is hampered
seriously for lack of funds to erect
necessary buildings and provide ade-
quate school facilities.
AS an example of a progressive
city, the writer cites the city OF St.
Louis, which enjoys form Of home
rule government. The citizen" OF
that city have approved bond 10
sue of $50, 100000 to provide for a
certain public improvement.

paying for such improvement why

of his cousin, Sir Richard Grenville.
The expedition of seven ships
planted it's colony and chose Ralph

last. Internal strife among the
settlers, trouble with the Indians

colonists to return to England IN
