longer for their shepherd. Hoover may keep
silent and Borah coy, but William David Upshaw of
Atlanta is willing.

named Regain of Rockville, III.

The first act of the special session of the
legislature strongly suggests that the gentle
men who have lodged their taxes for years
know exactly what they want and will get it.
In measure to tax so-called 'intang-
ibles" it is definitely proposed to give i'm
munity to the citizen who has successfully
hidden his wealth from the assessor.
The excuse for the immunity is so naive
as to be suspicious. It's proponents say that
the tax dodgers will not list their securities
If they are placed on level with real estate.
Therefore, it is proposed to bride them into
honesty by fixing the tax valuation at one
fourth of their real value.
Then, say the men who are behind the
scheme the dishonest citizen will become
honest. They argue that those who steal dol
lars will not steal quarters.
But the real purpose of the measure is re-
vealed in the provision that all back taxes
will be forgiven and no penalties will be at
tached for former perjuries and evasions.
The effect of this bill would be to rob the
state of any possible revenue from the tax
dodger. Those who hide their fortunes from
local assessors are not so successful in hiding
them from Uncle Sam. The time of payment
comes with death. And any alert tax official
could easily go into the records at such a
time and collect for'the past years.
Instead of immunity, broadened power
for assessors and sitter penalties for eva
sions would bring the secreted wealth to the
tax rolls and relieve the owner of farms and
real estate.
The federal government makes tax
lodging on incomes hazardous adventure.
The state could do the same thing with the
owners of intangibles. Tax evaders are not
popular in these days when the builders of
the state, those who put their money into
farms, factories, buildings, real property of
all kinds, find themselves carrying the bur-
den for those who trust to securities hidden
in safety boxes.
One little law confiscating all intangibles
not listed for taxation would do the trick.
But that will not happen The men who
have lodged can sleep again. Their emer-
gency will be met first.

A Needed Stem

On June the senate quietly passed senate joint
resolution 1859, by Senator McNary. The house also
should pass this simple resolution
Briefly, this resolution sketches plan of federal
and state government cooperation whereby unem-
poyed persons suited to making their living from the
land could be allowed use of suitable lmoccuped farm
lands and buildings.
such scheme undertaken without competent direction
and cooperation.
1t is aimed to avoid, far practicable, any in
crease in production Of agricultural products where
there is a Surfeit the market Care must be
taken that the SICK discouraged and penniless not
simply transferred from urban areas to rural
mites with good result, to place additional bur-
den upon the farm families of this community.
The back to the land" movement, moreover, must
be controlled and not deliberately exploited by those
tage from its momentum.
Nevertheless there undoubtedly are some families
starving in the cities who could, upon small farms,
grow almost everything they would need to eat Every
of forty-eight states is the unwilling en-
barrassed possessor Of too many abandoned farms.
Certain southern states where the rigors of climate
would not enter into the relief picture definitely have
indicated their desire to have some Of their vacated
farm lands and buildings taken up by unemployed
families
Careful, cooperative work is needed.
Senate joint resolution 1863 points the way.

DR.. Wilbur's Big Idea

DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of interior, has
a new plan for getting us happily through the de-
preston He has issued a statement urging Amer
lean citizens to make of their enforced leisure
time in visiting the national parks"
He urged that in these trying times" it is wise
to conserve ones health "at all COSTS" and added
"Certainly vacation in the mountains, particularly
in the national parks, is an investment in health
that can not fail to make the nation richer"
The secretary had, himself, just returned from
q trip, at government expense, through Acadia ma
tona park in Maine and just was preparing to leave
for the west with stops at Glacier and Mt. Rainier
national parks.
He closed his statement with particularly warm
invitation to attend the Olympic games in his home
state of California, stopping route at one or more
national parks.
Dr. Wilbur Gid not suggest what people with en-
forced leisure-the unemployed, that is to say
should use for money.

Rheumatic Diseases Many and Varied

There is no doubt that a failure
of proper activity Of the intestinal
tract with the accumulation of
much waste material badly inf1u-
ences arthritic disease.
The kind of person who always is
uncomfortable in cold weather and
whose glandular action is not nor
NAL is likely to be also susceptible
to rheumatic attacks.
Hence, the person of what is
called the rheumatic constitution, or
diathesis, should, if possible, seek a
warm, dry climate and should avoid
circumstances likely to be followed
by attacks of rheumatic pain.
The pain of this disease is best
relieved by application of heat.
There are many ways in which heat
can be applied to the body, includ-
ing hot baths, hot water bottles,
electric heat, the heat from lights,
the heat from mud packs, warm wet
dressings and similar measures.
The physician always can select
the one best suited to the particular
patient.
Much can be done in avoiding at
tacks by establishing a good
hygienic routine.

The Hoover Administration
Simply Can't Stand Any

forUard.
NEW YORK, July 9.-To begin
IN at the beginning Of this relief
row, who conceived the idea of a
corporation financed by the govern
ment to lend money? In other
words, who put Uncle Sam into the
banking business?
1t was a makeshift, Of course, a
perfectly transparent attempt to
sidestep direct assistance in a di-
rect, straightforward way.
The Hoover administration simply
can't stand anything direct and
straightforward, which explains a
large part of the trouble we are in.
What the Hoover administration
thinks of first is a smoke screen, or
a Straddle, with a commission, a
bureau, or at least a board of di-
rectors in control. The Recon
struction Finance Corporation was
born of the Hoover administrations
chronic repugnance to doing any
thing in simple, open manner.
In the Hoover mind, this contrap-
ton was a clever substitute for bond
issues. So, the United States gov
eminent was unanswered into the
banking business, but with the no.
ton that big boys would do all the
borrowing, and that the blessing
thus conferred on them gradually
would spread among us common

found very near the top as cause
of disability due to disease.
Rheumatic diseases, as rule, are
not killing diseases, but disabling
diseases. In England it was found
that 16 per cent of the total amount
of illness among industrial workers
was due to rheumatic disease of one
form or another.
The rheumatic diseases are more
inclined to affect the elderly than
the young.
Much thought has been given to
the prevention of these disorders.
No doubt, they are not due to a
single causation, but rather to many
causes.
Thus, two people living under ex-
actly the same circumstances will
vary in that one will be incapaci-
tated early by the disease and the
other never may develop it.
Some forms of the disease ap-
pear early in life, particularly what
is known as rheumatic fever and
rheumatoid arthritis, whereas govt
and osteoarthritis, which affect the
large joints, are more likely to be
seen late in life.

TINE fishing in early November
l. isn't much good, and so this
coIunnist would vote for Franklin
D. Roosevelt if he had to make a
choice between the Republican and
Democratic parties.
But no citizen is restricted to any
such harsh and hairline decision.
There never was a prettier year in
which to throw away your vote.
And tossing ballot out of bounds
always has been one of the most
effective ways in which the indivi-
dual can use this weapon. You are
much more likely to hit somebody
in the eye if you follow this prac-
tice.
If it really were true that a vote
for anybody expect the winner is
wasted, then millions of partisans
of the major parties would find
themselves in the same boat with
supporters of the minority tickets.
In the judgment of this neutral
observer, Governor Roosevelt has
the election almost cinched. Ac-
cordingly, under the strict interpre-
tation of the ancient rules, a Hoo
yer vote will be meaningless. And,
of course, this neutral observer may
be wrong. In which case a ballot
for Roosevelt would have to be
classed with the things which do

it is sheer fiction to contend that
the showing of losing candidate

A victory for Roosevelt would be
far less startling and important

What Is a Bank2

a ND now we come to a great
N stew and pother over the
question of whether President
Hoover's government bank should
lend directly to individuals and
private corporations, Or whether it
should reserve its credit for certain
so-called public and quasi-public
institutions.
The rumpus\ hinges on a dis
tinction, rather than difference.
If banks are not private in
situations, what are they?
AS matter of common sense, the
Reconstruction Finance corporation
was designed to put out public
money for the benefit of private
enterprise.
President Hoover's conception is
that the money should be distributed
at the top and allowed to trickle
down through, provided no one
stops it on the way.

There is rheumatoid arthritiS,

There is govt, and there are all

In addition, there are many in
