THE DINIrRoPHENOL RACKET

A reader writes: You said dinitro-

Dinitrophenol was and Is one Of the
cheapest Of all chemicals, but unfor-
tunately the racketeers are taking ad-
vantage Of the lack Of knowledge Of
the chemical among physicians and
among the laity, to kite the price out
rageously. A druggist who charges
$l.23 for q dozen capsules or tablets
or pills Of dinitrophenol Is simply
gouging the customer.
But never mind, folks. Who wants
the darn old dinitrophenol anyway?

about it from my readers, both lay
and medical. Mostly good things.
Then there were reported two or three

October Elections

Although principal interest now Is
centered on the elections scheduled
for November, there will be voting in
October which may have q far-reach-
ing effect on developments In this
western country.
This voting will be done by Indians
on 30 reservations in Oklahoma and
will be the first In which the Red
Man will have opportunity to say
whether he wants freedom to stand
on his own feet, or wishes to con-
tinue as q ward Of the government.
It Is the so-called Indian New Deal
and upon its success or failure will
depend the future welfare Of an i'm
portant part Of our population.
Under the proposed system, the
Indians natural propensity for COM
munal life will be permitted to work
for him rather than against him as
it has done for the three centuries he
has battled with the white man for
control Of his original domain.
The Indian Is natural socialist.
Personal property rights were not Z
part Of his governmental system
when the white man came to this
country and it never has been. Land
and many possessions were held In
common, the title resting in the tribe
rather than in any individual.
It was this fact which permitted
the white man to ease his conscience
when, by force Of arms, he seized
the territory once held under Indian
domination. He was taking the land
from no one in particular but from
representatives Of system with
which he disagreed.
The New Deal law upon which the
Oklahoma Indians will vote October
~ recognizes this tendency to hold
property In common and makes It
legal through the medium of the COR
poration. Thus . device Of the white
man win be used to protect the In
dams idea Of what constitutes proper
government.
The important thing about this
movement Is that it represents Z real
effort to incorporate the Indian as
an active part Of our civilization.
These people have been held in . de-
pendent status too long. A conquered
race, they cannot survive much longer
as an integral part Of the American
scene. It Is inevitable that they be
absorbed. sooner or later. by the race
which conquered them, II not through
the mixture Of blood strains at least
through the processes Of sound eco
nomic and political economy.
The wrongs which tho white man
has done the Indian can never be
righted. It looks now as though the
only atonement he could make Is to
welcome him into our society on q
basis which permits him to become
independent. Eventually It will re-
suit in destruction Of the Indians
racial integrity but there IS no other
answer. In any event, the individual
himself win have been saved.
