NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE UNDERLYING CAUSE

Present difficulties of France, according to stu
dents of international affairs, we'll as the diff
culties of other European nations past and pres
ent, may be traced to one cause and that cause is
debt.
IT, say these experts today, speaking particularly
of France, the nation could whip her debt problem
she could go long way toward whipping her every
other problem, internal and external.
Despite such concrete evidence - and debt has
caused the downfall of many nations as we'll as
individuals in the history of the world-the United
States runs merrily along its course further and
further into debt. Recently we learned that the
outstanding debt of this nation had reached the
astounding peak of 5000 for every man, woman
and child in this country. With the accumulation
of this gigantic debt problems accumulate in pro-
portion. Some problems have been solved with
the solution is only temporary and the problems
will rise again and again to plague the government
and the people of this great nation.
There is yet time for the United States to save
itself much grief by stopping the enormous outflow
of money that is being spent. Much difficulty al
ready has arisen and more will accompany the
mounting figures of the national debt. But if
halt is called now the government may save itself
and the people of this country greater difficulties
which may come in the future to the accompani-
ment of the open handed policy of spending which
has prevailed within recent years.
Troubles today may be traced to the debt of yes
terday Troubles tomorrow will be blamed upon
the debt of today.
Wise men in high position in this nation realize
this situation and striving to correct it. They
are deserving of support.-Shelby Star.

LITTLE MAN PAYS

In an editorial aptly entitled, Little Man, What
Now" The Oklahoman says:
at has been said by those who figure out such
statistics that if the United States were to pay as
it goes, our taxes would now be the highest in the
world, which makes it rather cold comfort to re-
mind ourselves that taxes in England are now high
or than they ostensibly are in the United States.
TRUE to the old saying, there is one thing beside
death that's sure and that's liberal taxes. Little
man land that means most of us), you'll pay until
it hurts
You'll pay more, proportionately, than the rich
man. The liberal tax-eaters are hungrfy sizing you
up Liberal bureaucracy is growing every minute.
The liberals are going to get you, even if you do
watch OUT
Estimates vary as to how much taxes, most of
them of the 'hidden" or "invisible" variety, are
paid by the average little But most authori-
ties agree that they amount to more than one-hfth
of every cent he earns.
That means that we work one day out of five
for government.
1t means that Of every dollar we spend more
than twenty cents finds It's way into the hands of
the tax collector.
1t means lower standard of living. And we
are paying only part of the bil-the rest is yet to
come
The little man has far to gain from eco
nomical government than the big man. The hidden
taxes that are an unacceptable part of what We pay
for loaf of bread, theatre ticket or a suit of
clothes, are infinitely more important to S2O-a-
week clerk than to $20,000-a-year executive.
AS The Oklahoman points out, the ''little man"
is getting his now-and he'll get still worse If he
doesn't make his protests felt.-Greenville Is. c.

the output of this mill. Sponsors OF the mill are
confident that newsprint from pine will be sue

are being considered.
However, the South will not be self-contalned

"RELIEF" MUST BE REFORMED

Thoughtful citizens, not only In South Carohna'
but throughout the country Will look with genuine
satisfaction upon Senator James F. Byrnes' criti-
cism of federal relief programs as now administered
and his announced intention to seek basic changes.
Senator Byrnes cites some highly interesting fig
ures on distribution of relief funds to show that
the wealthiest states receive far larger apporton-
nents in proportion to population than the South
en states despite the fact that the relative poverty
of the South has been so pointedy talked about by
federal authorities.
However. Senator Byrnes' criticism of the relief
program is not mere complaint that this section
is not receiving ats share" but deals with fun
damental defect in the present system which is
tending to perpetuate "relief" expenditures on a
vast scale through political influences and far out
of proportion to the actual need.--Chester News.

Second Appendix
Is Removed From
Woman In 5 Years

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 23.-
(UP)-Memphis surgeons were
astounded yesterday to learn that
"a second growth of an appendix
had been removed from q "a
year-old nurse at McLemore elm
ic.
Suffering from intestinal dis.
orders for several years, Mrs. C.
G. Barnett, Of West Memphis,
Ark, had her first appendix re-
moved three years ago. Stricken
with stomach pains last Friday
after an operation for another
abdominal trouble, Mrs. Barnett
underwent an x-ray examination.
This failed to reveal the second
growth appendix.
Her physician decided, how
ever, to make second incision.
This done, he discovered the
cause of her suffering to be an
intestinal appendage, smaller
than normal appendix but grow
ing from the normal place.
Mrs. Barnett, familiar with
surgery from her experience as
a nurse, said there was no doubt
that the appendectomy in 1888
removed, entirely the original
growth. ....-. -.
Surgeons experienced in the
medical profession declared they
could not recall a similar case.

phenomenal" one prominent
surgeon said. Another said such

the world was young. Perhaps
the grade of newcomers will be
no better thousands of years
hence; perhaps it will never be
better. But that is not the idea.
Here is the idea:
The children who enter the
first grade of public school today
may know little, if any, more
than the children who entered the
first grade of the first public
school. And perhaps the children
who enter the first grade Of pub
lie school ten-thousand years
hence will know no more and be
no better than those who enter
now. The first grade is the first
grade, and is for a certain stand
ard of mentality. The purpose of
the first grade is to teach children
first grade things they must know
to 90 into a higher grade from
the first grade. Another point:
Unless discipline is maintained in
the first grade, there will always
be children in there who will act
so outrageously that any child
wishing to learn all he could,
would be seriously interfered with
in gaining the knowledge the
first grade could teach him.
And so with this world: We
are all more or less the same kind
of souls-ignorant of what it is
all about! About the most we
can do here is to learn the best
this world can teach us. AS in the

the dictator is no novelty in South

In Lima, where the conference

THESE BE BOOM DAYS FOR THE
DEMAGOG
(By BRUCE CATION

1t seemed as if the calendar had slipped
the papers announced that the original
Big Bill' - William Hale Thompson of
Chicago-was going to run for mayor once
more.
Big Bill used to be habit with Chicago.
The city made noble efforts to conquer it's
craving every so often, and periodically
succeeded; but each success was followed
by backsliding, somehow, and the habit
was never entirely broken.
All of this was part of that decade of the
gaudy '20s when almost anything was
okay. New York blew itself to Jimmy
Walker in that period, and was quite
happy to support him-on the ground, ap-
parently, that if mayor was only pictur-
esQue enough his other shortcomings did
not matter. And Big Bill was fully as pic
turesque as Jimmy Walker, if not more so.
His shadow-boxing with the King of
England harmed no one and made for lots
of laughs, and if Chicago didn't mind pay
ing for him no one had any kick coming.
But this decade is different. Neither the
country nor any individual city is rich
enough any longer to be able to afford
funny man in high office. So Big Bills re-
turn to the wars looks anachronistic :.
until you stop to reflect on one of the queer.
httle-noticed laws of politics.
There seem to be two setups under which
the tub-thumping demagog can be elected
to high office. One is an era of happy-go-
lucky prosperity, i'm which the voters may
be willing to forget about serious things
and elect the man who puts on the best
show. The other is an era of depression
and doubt, when people are ready to listen
to everything and believe anything.
So the political clown, amusing enough
in time of high prosperity, is something
else again when times are bad. For he rep
resents channel through which legitimate
public discomfort with bad conditions can
be diverted and be made to produce effects
which can only make bad situation worse.
Like all other big cities, Chicago to-
day faces tremendous neutrality-suspicious.
which demand the most concentrated kind
of thinking on the part of electorate and
public officials alike. All political cam
paigns under such circumstances ought
to be exercises in public education; they
ought to raise real issues and cause extend
ed debate on them, so that in the end the
election may represent step toward solu-
ton of the city's troubles.
But suppose such campaign is made to
hinge on an entirely extraneous issue? Big
Bill announces, for instance, that he will
campaign on a Observation-Disclosures
issue. That certainly is an issue worthy of
debate-but it has no conceivable place in
municipal election. Raising it there can
only mean that the energy. which ought to
go toward solving Chicago's problems will
be diverted.
And that is the real harm done by the
demagog By appealing to prejudice and
fear, he keeps us from concentrating on
the things we Ought to be concentrating on
In times like the present, that is real dan
ger.
