The Mind Of A Politician

John Collier, u. 5. commissioner OF Indian affairs.
has been laboring to give the Indian a better break
Ia life. His efforts have aroused a good deal OF op-
position, some Of which is rather selfish. Perhaps
the prize exhibit in the whole case was submitted
the other day before the House Indian Affairs SUBJ
ommittee.
The witness was one Joseph Bruner. head Of the
American Indian Federation, and one of Golfers
most determined opponents. Collier had charged
that this federation was a fake; Bruner was there
to reply to the charge.
And for q reply. he submitted to the subcommittee
q poem which Collier wrote way back in 1911, prais-
ing the Spanish anarchist. Francisco FerrerI
You might call that a sample Of political argument
at its worst. Two men in public life argue: one
charges that the other represents a sham organiza-
ton; the other replies that his opponent, "a years
ago. praised an anarchist. Could political argument
get much emptier than this?

Following q recent decision of the Fourth Court of
Civil Appeals at San Antonio, it now appears that
betting OF dog races is lawful within the bounds Of
tne state OF Texas. AS a very natural result OF this
decision, plans are now being made. we understand,
70 open dog tracks in the principal cities OF the state.
and It is more than likely that one or more such
tracks Is planned for Valley communities.
Seeking TO head off such a revival OF a sport that
at It's best Is none too humane. the legislature has
now pending Senate Bill No. rs, which makes IL I'M
lawful to bet on dog races in Texas.
Dog races are held at night. In the few states
that allow such races. bets as low as CSC are accept
ed. with the result that a tremendous part Of, the
population Of the communities involved attends these
races.
Every community in which these dog tracks are
located reports that business has suffered to an even
worse degree than has been experienced BY COM
hunities In which horse racing tracks are allowed.
And there is this difference. that where the horse
races are bound to draw the greater part Of their at
tendance from a leisure class whose afternoons are
free, the dog races get everybody. Those who can
least afford to lose are OF course those who place the
Csc and soc and S1.OO bets.
The current issue OF Golfers magazine contains q
most enhghtentng article on dog races. the manner
In which they are conducted and the invariably disas-
truus and displeaSing community results Of their
operations.
The points brought out here and several more are
discussed, and no one can read the article with an
unprecedented mind without coming to the conclu-
sion that dog racing should and must be outlawed.
Senate Bill No. Is. now before the house Of Repre-
s~entatives, prohibits betting on dog races and thus
In effect prohibits dog racing itself. The bill should
be passed Valley interests viii do well to commune
cate with their own representatives and others with
whom they may be acquainted. and urge their sup

Pass The Apple Pie

Among the other things ~agitating Congress these
days Is an argument over the comparative merits Of
the apple pies OF oregon and New York.
1t started when Representative william A. Ekwel
passed around some oregon apples and asserted that
apples from the Hood river valley are the fastest in
the world. For reply. Representative James p. Duffy
Of New York submitted q great stack Of pies made
with New York apples and invited his colleagues to
taste and be convinced.
About all that can be said at this distance Is that
the whole business Is a break for the congressman.
Apple pie is apple pie. whether it comes from Oregon
New York, or somewhere else; and If the argument
inspires local pride to the production Of bigger and
better ones. all Of us can give thanks.

May Day Is Reminder
OF DiPtheria Danger
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association.
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine
BY DIR MORRIS III

There Is perhaps no better way to celebrate May
Day than to give thought to the children Of the
United States, especially with regard to prevention
Of diphtheria. May / has been named by health au-
thorities for this particular purpose.
We know enough now about diphtheria to elimin-
ate the disease. II all the people in this country
would do their utmost in aiding the application OF
modern medical knowledge.
We not only know the cause Of diphtheria, but we
have In addition an antitoxin which, given early and
in sufficient amount. will cure the disease in the vast
majority Of cases. Moreover. a skin test is known
which shows whether a child exposed to diphtheria
will come down with the disease.
Finally, we have a method Of preventing diphtheria,
involving use of a single injection Of a substance call
ed diphtheria toxoid.
The modern alum precipitated toxoid is a very
potent substance which does not produce reactions
in children. and which viii. after a single injection.
make the vast majority Of children capable Of re-
sisting infection with this disease.
Diphtheria Is an OF the throat in
the vast majority Of cases. 1t appears as a grayish-
white patch.
When a doctor sees this Characteristic appearance,
he takes q swab or a culture from the throat. The
germs are examined under the microscope and an
attempt is made to grow the germs on an artificial
medium to make certain that the condition is diph-
liberia.
The disease Is such a menace, however, that the doc
tor does not hesitate to give the ~antitoxin even be-
fore the results OF the examination Of the material
taken from the throat are available.
Effective treatment Of diphtheria demands imme-
date action. Antitoxin given within the first two
days Of the disease almost invariably cures the pa
tient. whereas delay may result in some Of the sec
ondary complications Of diphtheria which are serious
and in some instances fatal.
These secondary complications are particularly the
effects on the heart and paralysis Of the throat and
Of other parts Of the body.
Children everywhere should be immunized against
diphtheria. In fact. the immunization may be done
after the child is 6 months old.

How Taxation Works

Concerning the various forms Of
taxation, Henry George said:
"All taxes must evidently come
from the produce OF lard and labor,
since there is no other source o.
wealth than the union OF human
exertion with the material and for
ces OF nature.
But the name In which equal
amounts OF taxation may be impos-
ed may very differently affect the
production Of wealth.
Taxation which lessons the re-
ward Of the producer necessarily les
sens the incentive OF production.
Taxation which falls upon labor
upon the act Of production, or the
use of any OF the three factors OF
production, necessarily discourages
production.
Thus, taxation which diminiShes
the earnings of the laborer or the
returns Of the capitalist tends 70
render the one less industrious and
intelligent. the other less disposed To
save and invest.
Taxation which falls upon the
processes Of production interposes an
artificial obstacle to the creation OF
wealth.
'6'Taxation which falls upon labor
as II Is exerted. wealth as II is used
as capital. and land as 1t Is cult
waited. will manifestly end TO dis
courage production much more pow
erfully than the same amount levied
upon laborerers. whether they work
| or play. upon wealth whether used
productivity or unproductively, OF
upon land whether cultivated or left
waste.
"The mode Of taxation Is. In fact,
quite as important as the amount

Value Always Increasing

Henry George continued:
AS we have seen. the value Of land
Is at the beginning Of society moth
ing. But as society develops by the
increase Of population and the adj
vance Of the arts. the value of the
land becomes greater and greater -.
wherever the idea Of c~oncentrat-
ing all taxation upon land values
finds lodgment sufficient to induce
consideration. 1t invariably makes
way. but there are few of the classes
most TO be benefited by it. who at
first. or even for a long time after
ward. see It's full significance and
power.
1T is difficult for workingmen to
get over the idea that there Is a real
antagonism between capital and Ia
Dor. It is difficult for small farm
ers and homestead owners to get
over the idea that to put all taxes on
the value Of land would be unduly to
tax them. 1t is difficult for both
classes to get over the idea that TO
exempt capital from taxation would
be TO make the rich richer, and the
poor poorer -.

The W. r1d
AT a Glance
By LESLIE C III
Central Press Staff Writer)

NEW YORK, April 26.-Many per-
sons have commented on the recent
analysis in this column Of Henry
Georges single tax theories Of get
ing out of q depression.
In fact, that analysis seems to
have been the most popular subject
this column ever has contained.
Some persons have requested an
application or q further explana-
ton.
Henry George, whose economic
works Of more than half a century
ago have become classics, suggested
that all taxation be abolished ex-
cept that on land values.
Neither on the ground Of equity
or expediency Is there anything TO
deter us from making land common
property by taking rent into the pub
tic treasury" Henry George said ~.
LET the individuals who now hold
land still retain possession Of what
they are pleased to call THEIR land.
Let them continue to call 1t THEIR
land. Let them buy and sell, and be-
queath and devise 1t.
1T is not necessary to abolish land
ownership; 1t is only necessary to
take rent for public uses 80.
I'm form, the ownership Of land
would remain Just as now. No own
er OF land need be diSpoSSeSSed, and
no restriction need be placed upon
the amount of land any one could
h6ld. For rent being taken by the
state in taxes, land. no matter in
whose name 1t stood, or in what
parcels 1t was held, would be really
common property, and every mem
Der Of the community would partic-
ipate in the advantages Of owner
