SCHOLAR FORE
CASTS CHINESE
WAR VICTORY

Eager for knowledge, some 200
~" Forum patrons gathered SUM-
day afternoon to hear DR.. Y. 2.
Chang, professor OF Oriental Ian
guages at the University Of Miehi-
gan, deliver a scholarly disserta-
ton on THE Chinese Puzzle"
DR.. Chang gave a brief resume
Of the history OF China; her efforts
70 build her country NATURALLY and
culturally Immediately prior TO
1891. and the apparent friendly re-
lationship between China and Japan
in that period. He reviewed the
steps then being taken by inter
national statesmen and diplomats
to effect a permanent world peace,
and the role of China in these ne
eotistions.
He explained the famous "Tena-
ka Memoriam" published by the
british press exposing plans o.
Japan to build a strong empire IN
the Far East by the progressive
steps of Conquest OF Manchuria,
China. and the taking over of the
naval supremacy enjoyed by the
United States over this hemisphere. .
Japan subsequently denied the sin
lister plot, stating It to be only
malicious interference of outsiders
to upset the friendly relationship
between China and Japan,
He successfully pointed out the
fallacies in thu two generally ac-
cepted arguments justifying Japan'3
invasion of China when he stated
that Japan is not overpopulated,
for there are four islands and Korea
which are decidedly uadeFPepu--
lated: Furthermore. they are invad-
ing the overpopulated sections of
China where expansion is impossi-
BILE. Japan has always been able to
purchase raw materials in the open
world market at standard prices or
in the Chinese market at rock
bottom prices, while now she is
spending IS million yens a day
(S5 00O.000) in an endeavor to get
these raw materials free"
DR.. Chang, apparently ruffled in
his eagerness to impress, asserted
that "the Japanese invasion OF
China in September, 1881 destroyed
throughout the world the progress
i've steps toward peace-'nipped the
tender bud and rendered their fruit

appealed 10 the Rev. Horace A.
Whit for help in the matter and
retained Attorney Harold Biedsoe'
as legal counsel in the case.
When interviewer by this report
e. concerning the matter, the Rev.
Hoarce White declared that he BE-
lieved the case was a deliberate
frame-up from the beginning. He
pointed out that the Field ObservA-
ton Bureau YVES strongly criticized

said the Rev. White, that the Field

biased efforts in attempting TO clear
thu matter up.

WHAT YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT
FACE PIMPLES

These dishguring spots affecting
the outer or surface layer of the
skin often result from a temporary
disturbance. or merely from incor-
rect cleansing.
You can relieve the itchy, burning
soreness and help your skin by using
an ointment whose medication stays
in active contact with the pimply
spots. Apply it every night and
leave it on all night. It.does a
world of good.
For nearly as years people have
used Resinol Ointment TO fill this
need. Ii soothes the irritated oil
ducts where many surface pimples
start, and aids healing. Carefully
cleansing the skin with Resinol Soap
helps to quicken the pleasing re-
suits. It's gently active lather Is
refreshing and it rinses easily.
Buy a jar of Resinol Ointment
and cake Of Resinol Soap from any
druggist. For free sample, write
Resinol, Dept. SO, Baltimore, Md.

Mississippi, Disappointing
II was Just $40 when we sighted
the waters Of the Mississippi river
ahead Of us. We had expected II TO
be one OF the big thrills Of the trip.
but after nearly 5000 miles on the
most romantic river In the world
We found the Mississippi very oom-
mon. and not very big. In fact, at
the confluence OF the two rivers II
was the Mississippi that flowed
into the Missouri. instead Of the
way the maps showed. The latter
river was the shallower. but b,
far the widest Of the two, ever
though Its mouth was cut down
by huge bar part way across It's
/ mouth.
We watched closely for the line
where the so-called clear waters OF
the Mississippi were supposed 10
be conquered by the Missouri's yell
low flood. The line was supposed
TO be very distinct and probably Is
during high water, but at this time
of year both rivers are pretty close
to the same color. There Is a slight
difference. but II is not very notice
able.
The big difference we noticed
was the filth Of the Mississippi.
The Missouri is sandy, tits true, but
1t isn't dirty. while the big river Is
filled with the sewage. and factory
drains from upriver and its surface
carries a coating Of oil. All in all,
we were quite disappointed in the
Mississippi from that first glimpse.

Below 81. Charles the cliffs

but this time both Of US slept two
full hours before going on. The
palisades moved suddenly back TO
the river and some of the homes,
less pretentious than those above,

we heard shooting and the angry

The people were shooting from the

up a yell to tell them boat was
coming and they stopped right
away.
With so many houses right along
the banks of the river and farms
just inland, the river with its wide
valley is about the only place open
for target shooting. We saw a good

MAKEUP OF CONGRESS

According to the new congressional
Congress were born on farms than has
been the case in the past. Only 136 came
originally from farm homes, while ITO
were born in big cities. The remainder
$4,000 population.
Of the former farm boys in Congress
five proudly relate that they were born in
log cabins; three were born on western
ranches and one in a sawmill camp. A
large majority of the members are college
graduates, although S8 did not get beyond
grade schools. Some went to college but
did not graduate.
Fourteen members were born in for
eign countries, but all came to the United
States while young, and were educated
here. Of these there are two each from
Germany, Wales, Scotland and Austria,
and one each from Czecho-Slovakia, Eng
land, Ireland, Norway, Sweden and
Canada.
Five members are women-one SEN
ator and four representatives. There is
one Negro member, and one vacancy,
caused by the death of former member
since the election.
The present session promises to be a
most interesting one, and the legislation
enacted may have an important bearing on
the presidential election of 1910.

SUGGESTS TAX METHOD

SUGGESTS TAX METHOD
Editor. The Citizen:
In order to get personal prop
erty used in business properly as
sessed, ell kinds of business
should be required to obtain Ii
cense. The law should require
every business to take an inven-
tory within six months prior to
issuing a license so that an in
ventory can be taken when it is
most convenient and advanta-
geous to each particular business
to take it. In making applica-
ton for a license the applicant
should state:
The date of the last inven-
tory which should include all
taxable assets, both tangible
and intangible, and that a
statement thereof was set
forth on Page - in Book -
of the records of the bust
ness.
The Tax Assessor would then
have definite figures on which to
base an assessment and uniform
percent of inventory value could
De adopted and enforced through
out the state-30 percent of in
ventory value Oh tangible prop
elty would probably be a fair as
sessment-the assessment and tax
on intangible property ] will dis
cuss in another letter.
In the event the statement was
found to be false, the license
should be cancelled and the in
dividual making the fraudulent
statement should be prosecuted
for fraud. 80.
hope that business men and
particularly the merchants, will
consider this plan and publicly
offer any criticism that might
occur to them.

Hugh Johnson, former NRA admins
traitor, now a columnist and good one,
makes the statement that each person on
the WPA means four votes for the Adj
ministration at election times 1t seems a
reasonable conclusion. Publishers reckon
the number of the readers of their news
papers on the same basis-four for each
about $500 readers, but it is a conserva-
tive estimate in Key West. Former Mayor
Curry, deceased, informed the publisher
that AZ people read his copy of this paper,
and the item with his permission was pub
lished in The Citizen at the time the state
scribers will remember reading the story.
