Back to Bossy If the Washington administration really wants to do some- thing for the country, to promote saner thinking and check the spread of crackpot-ism, it might finance the purchase for every American citizen of one dreamy-eyed, more or less con- tented cow. Having done this, it should arrange things so that each citizen would be compelled to go out and milk his cow, morning nd night. This little idea is derived from the reading of a recent inter- view with Grant Wood, that Iowa-born artist who has shown his fellow citizens that art can arise in the corn belt as well as mong the cafes of Paris. Mr. Wood explains that he went to Paris as a lad, grew a big beard, sat around the cafe tables and waited for inspiration to smite him. After a while he found that, while he was having a very pleasant time, he was not getting much painting done; and when he began studying the young aesthetes about him, he discovered why that was. “They,” he says, “believed an artist had to wait for inspira- tion very quietly, and they did most of their waiting at the THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1986 Washington Some Lavish Hopes Will Be Pinned on New Tax Plan... It’s the Idea of Treasury's Mr. Oliphant . . . What! You Don’t Know What Ecology Means? Well, Neither Do Some of Our Congressmen. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, March 13.—Mr. Roose- velt soaks the rich and the rich soak ‘Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Roosevelt soaks the rich again and if they don’t look out there will be no one left to sup- port the American Liberty League. The new tax plan drips with New Deal philosophy. If congress ac- cepts it, the New Deal will have inched along a bit farther in sharing industrial wealth and restoring mass purchasing power. Proposal to tax corporation profits by levying on undivided surpluses and dividends on a get-’em-going-or- coming scheme was substituted at the last moment for an earlier decision by Roosevelt to ask congress for an inheritance tax and a larger assess- ment against higher bracket incomes, The more Roosevelt studied his tax problem, the more this relatively rad- ical idea appealed to him. Since everything that happens in Washing- ton this year has a political aspect, it jis better than a good guess that the president was especially impressed with the desirability of appealing to consumers, who are fed up with proc- essing taxes on food and will now benefit by % great reduction in such taxes, and to small stockholders, who presumably will benefit from more and bigger dividends stimulated by the surplus tax. ee % Treasury Aide Sees Idea There is still plenty of question here, however, whether the tax will work well, whether it will work fairly, and whether it will be so framed as to be proof against evasion. The man who sold this drastic re- vision of tax machinery to Roosevelt and to Secretary Morgenthau was Mr. Herman Oliphant, general counsel for the treasury. i Mr. Morgenthau thinks Mr. Oli- Dome or the Rotonde, with brandy. It was then that I realized ‘ that all the really good ideas I’d ever had came to me while I was milking a cow. So I went back to Iowa.” Now this discovery is one all of us might well take to heart. The wisdom that comes to a man while he is snuggled up under ‘tthe lee of a cow is of the earthy, contemplative sort. The alarums and excursions of modern political and economic theories have no part in it. You don’t dream of fantastic cure-alls and you don’t get panicky about some ism or other, while you have bossy by the business end. Your thoughts are realistic and direct. The moment you get a bit flighty, her tail is suxe to fetch you a swipe across the left ear and bring you down to earth again. So this back-to-the-cow idea has possibilities. But if it would be a good thing for us ordinary citizens, how much better would it not be for our leaders—civic, industrial, and political? The cloudy abstractions of a braintruster might grow lucid and business-like; the high-powered financier might stop see- ing Communists under the White House bed and think a little more about doing the job to which Providence has appointed him; the politician of any party might begin to reflect more on his responsibilities and less on his chances. Altogether, we ought to get a new era out of it; an era in which we would stop falling for slogans and start thinking our yay through our problems in the good old American way. The cow, humble beast though she is, might prove our salvation. Ambition in CCC Approximately 2,000 CCC enrollees are studying extension subjects with the University of North Dakota, according to a recent announcement by that institution. They are interested in almost everything listed in. the college curriculum, the list showing 58 college and 39 high school courses now being taught. The work began a year ago as an FERA project when only 100 students were enrolled, but as news of the opportunity came to them youths in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Idaho, Missouri, Ar- kansas and Nebraska were quick to grasp the opportunity. They were fully aware of their limitations and deficiencies und wanted to work to improve themselves. Of the total enrolled 156 are taking accounting and 109 are studying Diesel engines, these being the two leading courses. Not all of them may be able to put their instruction to good phant, once a law professor at Johns Hopkins* and later legal adviser to FCA under Morgenthau, is a genius. ‘That partly explains why the cheers around here aren’t less restrained. The treasury has a Washington repu- tation for a lack of expert technical advisers. ee What's Claimed for It Here are the various claims made for the plan: ‘The rich will pay more taxes. Well- to-do stockholders will pay more, too, but will receive more money in divi- dends. Purchasing power will expand because dividend recipients will spend more, because consumers will be able to buy more farm products, and be- cause some of the distributed profits may go into wages. The holding company idea will be discouraged, because undivided sur- pluses won't be used to acquire sub- sidiaries or buy stock in other: cor- porations—another sock at “bigness.” (Page Justice Brandeis and Dr. Frankfurter!) - Excess productive capacity will be liscourt , because corporations won't be so likely to expand plant un- less there’s pressing demand for it. Corporations won't have large sur- Pluses to toss into the stock market and encourage dangerous booms. * * * Ecology? Oh, Sure! As an item of further interest ‘to taxpayers, let us take an excerpt from house debate on the department of agriculture appropriation bill: Mr. Cannon of Missouri, interrupt- ing Mr. Greever of Wyoming: The amendment the gentleman rose to support is to establish certain ecolog- ical stations. Nothing the gentleman has said applies to ecological stations and I wonder if the gentleman knows what an ecological station is. Ss Mr. Greever: The thing in which we are interested in the state of Wy- oming is cooperation— Mr, Cannon: Will the gentleman tell us what are ecological stations? Mr, Greever: The situation in which we are interested in Wyoming is sta- tions to accomplish what is provided for in the bill. Mr, Cannon: I am asking the gen- tleman to talk on the amendment. Mr, Greever: I refuse to yield further to the gentleman. I am telling the gentleman about the conditions vse but that often is true of students who spend four years at college. The significant thing is the ambition which these young men are showing, their willingness to work to get ahead. Example for the Courts American judicial procedure has become famous, among other reasons, for its procrastination. It is no idle gesture on the part of counsel, for instance, to secure an appeal that can mean a year’s or even two years’ delay in final adjudication. But now comes the supreme court of the United States with the announcement that it will delay summer vacation of its justices, if necessary, to expedite final decisions in vital New Deal cases. In a word, the highest court in the land, recogniz- ing there is quite often an element of justice in promptness, has set an example for all lower courts in the country. For that matter the high tribunal stands out commendably for the tremendous amount of work it has accomplished in recent months. The burden has been ‘unprecedented both as to the number of cases and as to their broad national significance. Our lower courts, which ordinarily take a vacation from May to September, might take the hint. Calcutta, India, merchant offers $10,000 to anyone who can make him sleep.

(The dictionary says ecology means “the branch of biology which deals with the relations be- tween organisms and their environ- ment,” in case that’s any help.) Mr, Ekwall of Oregon: Whether it means one thing or another, the peo- ple of my state, who have expressed themselves, are in favor of this in- crease, Mr. Cannon, addressing the House: ‘Some fellow back home sends you a telegram and you rush in here and say, “I do not know what it is all about, but it is to spend money and IT am in favor of spending it.” ..

SAITO EXPLAINS (New York Herald-Tribune) ‘The final results of what Ambassa- dor Saito calls “the recent deplorable incident in Japan” are still obscure. By final results we mean its effect on the political complexion of the Japanese government and its effect on Japan’s foreign relations. The opin- ion expressed a few days ago in these columns that what we know of this situation is less essential to an un- derstanding of it than what we do not know (thoroughly justified since then| by Premier Okada’s dramatic return from the dead) is still applicable to it. We might even venture to suspect that there are some things that Mr. Saito would like to know about it. ‘With some assurance Mr. Saito ex- presses the belief that there will be “no rise to domination of any mili- tarist or group of them who will chart @ new course for our country.” He does not venture to say, however, that, “the recent deplorable incident” is going to eliminate from Japanese public life the influence of the mili- tary men whose propaganda inspired it. He does not venture to say that the imperial court will now exhibit its stern disapproval of violent mili- tary intervention in constitutional government and indorse the elector- ate’s recent approval of the Okada cabinet by restoring it to full control of civil government, by protecting it in that position and by dealing as drastically with those who inspired a murderous demonstration as with the little men who carried it out. Mr. Saite does not attempt to ex- plain why it was that, with no more EDITORS than @ thousand officers and men in- volved in the Tokio rebellion against the résults of the recent elections, the imperial court received Premier Okada as a clandestine refugee and did not announce his escape from the assassins until the mutiny had been completely liquidated. He leaves the|. long-range observer with the suspic- ion which this peculiar maneuver in- spires, that the imperial court feared to let the army at large know that its dare-to-die unit had failed to kill the electorate's designated champion un- til the surrender of that unit had discredited it. Mr. Saito does not, therefore, off- set the impression which all corre- spondence from Japan is now giving, that the imperial court does not pro- pose, because it dare not, to admin- ister a really effective rebuke to the high militarists who are morally re- sponsible for “the deplorable incident” by re-establishing Admiral and his cabinet permanently in the seat of responsible government. He gives us no more asssurance than the cor- respondents that the emperor and his adviscrate are not planning to fore- stall further trouble with a still surly and doubtful army by retiring Okada, by ignoring the recent elections, by fumbling about for a new premier whom the militarists will pronounce mutiny-proof, and by condoning to that degree a revolt which not even an imperial decree could liquidate un- til that decree was supported by tanks. We still have to be convinced by events, rather than ambassadorial as- surances, therefore, that the upshot of “the deplorable incident” is not a ‘int hor tl we may 0 ree with them. moral victory for Japanese militarism, and does not warrant the feeling throughout the world that Japan will deserve more watching than ever henceforth. MOBILIZED TO SERVE (Williams County Farmer Press) The manner in which Williams county, through the influence of a group of local citizens and the board of county commissioners, mobilized last week to aid families isolated by storm and an unprecedented seige of cold is heartily to be commended. How many families were affected by the emergency action, it is, of course, difficult to ascertain. Certain it is, however, that there were enough to justify the action for the saving of one individual from suffering, may- hap from death, in a fireless home exiled by a few miles of drifting snow is easily seen as worthy of all the effort put forth. ‘The mobilization began nearly three weeks ago when the commissioners asked permission to convert WPA teams and labor to the task of haul- ing coal, should inclement weather make it necessary. The request rep- resented a sensible foresight, and subsequent events proved their stand | ¢- well taken, The fact that a grave crisis did not develop is one for which Williams county can be thankful. Yet to those isolated families which suffered from lack of fuel and food, to those who were fast approaching that condition and to those whom it might have in- jured had the weather continued as i was, it must be comforting to know DAD'S ple put aside reading or light for every task.

Her: r, Esbon, Kansas, alluded to recurrences: “You are going to have some,” he said: “I have quite a few.” Such frankness is refreshing. To hear the Brass Surgeons of Yankee- land sounding off one might infer that the le Men never have recur- rences when they do the radical operation. Dr. Hershner continued: “Go ahead with the treatments and clear up i those recurrences and get them down to a small percentage. If you become . interested in this work you will be astonished to learn of the number of recurrences the surgeon has. In three years I collected and have on file the names and addresses of more than one hundred persons who have been unsuccessfully operated on for hernia... . a little slow about treating them after they have been unsuccessfully operated on. You will find that the scar tissue is hard...” Bitter irony here for the brass surgeons. (A “brass” surgeon or specialist 4s one who boasts too much about himself and his trade.) Only a few years ago the BS, of Yankeeland were loudly and angrily asserting that the am- bulant treatment of hernia made subsequent operation more difficult, be- wr? H developed skill in the technic of ambulant lans who have developed sl In the ic of tment Bag tis method is especially applicable for hernia sufferers who have hernia or a recurrence. Real surgeons everywhere—(a real surgeon is @ doctor who knows when to operate and welcomes any method or remedy, no matter how new, if offers promise of benefit)—are either taking postgraduate instruction in new method or else referring suitable cases to medical colléagues who we already mastered the technic. I say “suitable cases.” This does not that ambulant or injection treatment is applicable in every case of . The radical operation is still the only cure possible in some cases. ion treatment, however, gives satisfactory results in the majority of cases of hernia, in men or in women, inguinal, femoral, umbilical, abdominal post-operative. If the hernia (rupture, breach, protrusion, bulging) is re- ducible, that is, if it can be replaced in the abdomen by manipulation or posture, it is probably amenable to injection treatment. If it isn’t so reduci- ble, radical operation is the only available cure. Advantages of ambulant treatment of hernia: 1, No hospitalization—treatments are given in the physician’s office, usually at intervals of a week or so, from six to twenty, depending on individual conditions. . No anesthetic required. . Virtually no risk of shock or infection. . No loss of time from usual work. No loss of salary. In competent hands injection treatment is as likely to prove as successful as is surgery in competent hands. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Step On It W.M.C. reported satisfaction from the wearing of an elastic bandage holding s sponge rubber pad on the metatarsal arch.

Answer—Thank you. Several correspondents have reported satisfaction from the contrivance. Helpful point: Any pad on the sole of the foot should be placed lengthwise and just behind the head of metatarsal bone, that is, the front of the support should be about one-third of the length of foot Deuces Wild Daughter writes she is under treatment of two specialists.

This mobilized effort, which we are prone to forget as quickly as the crisis is past, was not sensational in any aspect and since the real dangers did not develop.it may appear as hasty.
