All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved, Long-Term Outlook Despite the declining birth rate, America’s population is increasing at the rate of about 1,000,000 persons a year. Dietary habits are changing, but the net result is to greatly increase the demand for food. Opposed to these fundamental truths is the fact that we have only so much arable land in this country; that unless adjustments are made and the land is caused to produce more, we might have famine in what has always been a land of plenty. Agricultural processes and efficiency are, of course, im- proving. Where it has been well cared for, land yields more now than it did a generation ago because of the application of new knowledge. But offsetting this is the fact that the productivity of vast areas has been destroyed and in other areas it has been reduced by erosion and wasting of the soil. This calls for intelligent treatment by both the individual and the people as a whole, for the interests of today can best be served by making provision for tomorrow. We have learned through bitter experience that vast areas which have been plowed in the past should be returned to grass, yet this development means that a given area can support fewer people than under the former system and the excess population will have to move. In so far as the soil is concerned, it is an answer but it offers scant hope to the people whom the grass would dispossess. Yet there is an answer. It lies in intensive cultivation where such practice is possible, a shift to a new form of agri- culture to meet the changing demands of the American table. It lies in the various plans which can be adopted to make pastures more productive, such as contour plowing to keep all of the water on the land; in listing fields to hold water and therefore grow bigger crops, and in putting water on the land to obtain production greater than can possibly be obtained by depending on natural rainfall no matter what the method of tillage. It means some people on much greater tracts of land and others on much smaller tracts but all with plenty of work to do and all with a higher standard of living than now prevails. That is the long-term outlook, provided we bring to it the heart, the determination and the ingenuity which has always characterized America. Intelligent Few more encouraging signs have come from American industry than the news from Pittsburgh that the steel industry has granted a 10 per cent pay increase to its workers. It is not the fact that industry has so improved that the steel corporations can pay more for labor. That has been ob- vious for some time. The important fact is the injection into the conversations between capital and labor of an entirely new note in such negotiations. That is contained in the clause which provides that the new rates are to be automatically adjusted, either upward or downward, with changes in the cost of living as reported by the United States bureau of labor statistics. Therein we have the elements to a sound approach to the capital-labor problem. The new rate for common labor is 5214 cents an hour, with skilled workers getting more in proportion to their ability. That is enough to provide a minimum living with talent, ambition or both. If*the principle thus espoused by some of America’s im- portant business leaders can be spread to all industry and a few e Bismarck Tribune Behind Scenes Washington How I¢ All Adds Up After the Battle Is Over... G. O. P. Seems to Have Lest ‘Common Touch’ ... Cam- munism and Social Security Fail as Issues .. . F. D. R. Speeches Proved Great Vote-Getters ... Hoover Handicap to Landon. | By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) New York, Nov. 9.—It takes more than one, two, or three explanations to account for the amazing Roosevelt majority. You have to take all the factors which the Democrats said were ope- rating in their favor and which the Republicans sajd were not. Then you must add certain issues and vote-get- ting devices which most politicians thought were aiding Governor Lan- don, but which now seem to have been doing him more harm than good, It all adds up to the fact that Franklin Roosevelt has what it takes and that the Republicans have lost what is sometimes known as the common touch. The masses have begun to vote as masses and the electorate has swung toward the left. The Republicans missed the boat four years ago and this year they were still trying \to} catch the same boat. Where most of us made a mistake j in underestimating Roosevelt strength was in the rural areas and small towns, where voters were supposed to be overwhelmingly against the New Deal. - Returns show that most such sec- tions gave the president something lke an even break, which meant that Pluralities which were expected in the cities were not appreciably offset. x * x Many Queries Answered The returns also seem to have an-| swered other questions such as: how solidly would WPA workers support! Roosevelt? Could the labor vote be delivered? Could the Republicans re- | gain before election day their old standby, the Negro vote? Would the farmers bite the lavish New Deal} hand? What did the huge new reg- istrations portend? Could the many new Democratic political machines in big states and cities be depended on for big help, as against Republican machines out of power and sometimes democratized. All these questions have been an. swered in favor of Roosevelt and this writer also has been hearing on every hand that the two big Republican “seare” camapigns reacted disastrous- ly against Landon and Knox. One refers to the effort to paint the New Deal as Communistic—with its sideshow indirectly playing to race prejudice by pounding on the Jewish name of David Dubinsky of the In- ternational Ladies’ Garment Workers | —and the effort to convince workers that the Social Security act was a fraud which amounted to nothing but @ wage cut. ‘ Organized labor snorted and raged at hearing one of its most important leaders—who happened to be a Roo- sevelt elector in New York state— branded a Communist by Republican | Politicians. | eee i Attack Is Boomerang | They knew better.

It began early enough to give| union labor time for a vigorous coun- ter attack, to give Roosevelt and hun-/} dreds of other speakers a chance to hammer back at it again and again, and to give the Social Security board at Washington time to throw its ma- chinery into high gear in an intensive | campaign of education. It is hard to say whether the re- action against Landon was as harm- ful as most politicians believe, but the vote shows Republicans far overesti- mated the effect of the two big) “scare” issues, * + Roosevelt Wins Voters Constantly wearing down Repub- | lican strength was the fact that Roo- | sevelt gained popularity while cam- paigning and that Landon’s campaign efforts failed to build him up, if they did not actually lose him votes. Few leaders have ever been able to other changes made, if both capital and labor enter such discus- sions in a spirit of friendliness and cooperation, the lion may yet lie down with the lamb and the public be spared the exhibi- tions of avarice and greed for both money and power which too often have marked the combatants on both sides in labor struggles. The basic adjustment here is the relation of income to the cost of living and recognition by these important employers that their lowest paid worker is entitled to a decent minimum. If the problem of continuity of employment can be solved, or some adjustment made to protect the worker as well as the shareholder from the impact of bad times, then we truly shall have entered a new era in our industrial relationships. Unlucky Winners A sweepstakes winner is more to be pitied than feted. This astounding bit of intelligence is passed on by a Cincinnati, O., man, William Coyle. And he should know. In 1931 he won $20,000 in the Eng- lish Derby sweepstakes, and immediately quit his job as eleva- tor operator. Six months ago he returned, disconsolately, to the elevator controls. In the interim, he reveals, his windfall was melted by re- peatedly unsuccessful attempts to start his own business in the garage, cafe, and real estate lines. “I pity anyone who is as jucky as I was,” says Mr. Coyle. ? All of which is more evidence that the life of a sweeps win- ner is not that of Riley. If he isn’t bothered to death by the blue sky stock promoters or other “sure thing” salesmen, he is pestered by the “touching” requests of suddenly solicitous rela- tives; or, like Mr. Coyle, he is apt to see his new fortune dwindle _ sway in bed investments. English Iaboratories are seeking new uses for tobacco. Dora is proud America beat them to a tobacco road. make food out of wood, a profitable concession gain as many votes through travel and speeches as Roosevelt. A con- fidential and trustworthy Democra- tic poll, for instance, showed that after his visit to Dubuque, Ia. the president’s popularity ratio increased in that city from 38 per cent to 58 per cent. Elsewhere, the average increase in Roosevelt sentiment ran around 15 per cent after his visits and speeches. The president’s carefully planned at- tempt to build himself up as a states- man with sympathy for the common people, with the unspoken implica~ tion that Landon was a comparative- ly weak second-rater who couldn’t be depended on to keep us out of war and other troubles, was eminently successful. * * * Handicapped by Hoover The Landon-Hamilton-Knox blun- ders were too numerous to mention But most politicians are willing tc edmit that the Landon-Hamilton- Knox campaign gave most voters the impression that Landon was scarcely distinguishable from Hoover and the memory of him was a major Landon handicap. These are random observations. The feeling in both camps here elec- tion night, including that of the De- mocrats, who were amazed by the Roosetelt vote, was fairly well ex- pressed shortly before midnight by Ruth Baker Pratt, lovely and wealthy former congresswoman from New York, when she said: “I was never so completely bewildered in all my life.” (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

Strauss, H. J. Woodmansee and M. L. Gallagher, New Year's. 3 I surely have got a kick out of this campaign: trying to tell what the public was thinking and why. To be- gin, I will quote from memory four lines of verse: “Oh, see the happy moron; He doesn’t give a damn. I wish I was a moron, My God, perhaps I am.” Thinking of the presidential elec- Hone must go back to 30 years or more ago. Then was my first time to hear that great scholar and idealist, Eugene V. Debs, speak. He said two things that have stayed with me. “He who will not work shall not eat.” And: “The only way to the average mind is through the stomach.” The quota- tions are probably not exact. Well, in '32, stomachs, heing empty, had time and room for thought, and that thought carried over to 36. Is that so? If it is so, does Roosevelt know? Some funny things happened dur- ing the campaign. The Republicans ballyhooed Landon’s balancing the Kansas budget. Being from Nebraska where things are run much the same as in Kansas, I watched to see how long before the thing would back-fire. It took eight days. I wonder if Mr. Lan- ion has learned not to write letters and sign them, I refer to his praise of the New Deal which he, during the campaign, so vigorously condemned, Trying to delve into other's minds is fascinating, but I can not say success- ful or satisfying. Why did North Da- kota go strong for Roosevelt and the New Deal, then elect a governor who is at loggerheads with the administra- tion? That one is beyond me. Can any of you answer it? If so, please Spill it. Now comes a joke of all jokes. Mr. Burdick spoke in our metropolis. He enlarged upon his love of farmer and laborer. Then he passed out some booklets. Darned if I could find a union label. You look, Mr. Editor, and make sure. Another strange thing. The Repub- lican’ were shouting, “Dictatorship” at the Democrats. I am a Red, rang- ing somewhere between a medium pink and scarlet, and I know 50 or more others. We all voted for Roosevelt, (that’s a confession) for the reason that we feared a dictatorship under Landon and the Liberty League. And our reasoning was always the same. Too, we haven't forgotten that, under Hoover, many publications of radical papers were suppressed. The New Deal has not suppressed one, so far as I know. I, for one, do not mind being damned for what I say, but I do not want to be denied the right to say it.

C. Knud- sen, state PWA director, said. Friday the board rejected all bids received on the proposed $48,700 building because the lowest bid re- ceived exceeded funds available by about -$10,000, Knudsen stated. The school board plans to revise building Plans and specifications before re- advertising for bids. In Valley City a contract to build a bridge was let to T. M.

If no improvement in the second month, the cad Beaty after is 400,000 units of vitamin D. Most of the good results are 7 ries when the dose is 300,000 or 500,000 units daily. In some cases mar! aa provement occurs within the first three weeks, but in any case the treatment must be continued three months before the individual one may be fairly judged refractory.

The Lnegt cian adjusts the dosage to obviate mild disturbances which may ed a few hypersensitive patients. All of the technical information in reference to this treatment is available to physicians everywhere. ie ‘As it is impossible for a patient to take enough vitamin D in any natura! form, it is necessary to employ synthetic vitamin D in this treatment. There are half a dozen high potency vitamin D preparations available, ene by different processes, but all equally potent and all standardized by lo- gical assay. As far as I know there 1s no reason to prefer any particular high potency vitamin D preparation, save only the price, There is a re- markable range in the cost of synthetic vitamin D per thousand units or per day. theoretical ground physicians have feared the possibility of hyper- salons (too fmubteslciim in blood and tissues), deposits of calcium in the organs, or elevation of blood pressure from calcification or hardening of the arteries, from excessive doses of vitamin D.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Wry Neck You said you had never heard of bxain surgery being applied to wry neck... Answer—I never have. Surgical treatment may be applied to the con- tracted muscle, or to the vertebral distortion, or to removal of a cervical rib, but I know of no brain surgery for wry neck (torticollis). Tincture of Iron Friend applies tincture of iron to his tonsils twice a week. It is steadily shrinking his tonsils, Is it injurious or would you advise me to try it? 2. (Mrs. W. D.M.) ‘Answer—It is harmless to use. May tend to shrink simply enlarged tonsils. Cannot cure infected tonsils. Paint tonsils or swab them every al- ternate day with mixture of equal parts tincture of iron, glycerin and water. Shake excess off swab first. Immediately afterward rinse mouth with « little bicarbonate~(saleratus) aoulion, as tincture of iron 1s very acid. es If an’ operation for gallstones is necessary does delaying it affect any other organ? Can one with a few small gallstones get along at all without an operation? . . . (Mrs, I, C.) Mm Answer—Some persons have gallstones and never suffer any serious é¢f- fects. If your doctors do not agree about the operation, give yourself the benefit of the doubt by waiting a while. Wart Still There Four weeks ago I wrote for your wart cure. I still have the wart, and I am still waiting for a reply. No doubt you have a large correspondence. ... (E. V.) Answer.—Anyway your complaint gives proof through the pages that the wart is still there. It offers some evidence, too, that you failed to inclose a 3-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address, Correspondents who non- chalantly ignore tht trifling matter may have a thousand warts without hearing from me. The old reliable corn cure often disposes of warts, too: Paint corn, wart or callus daily with a solution of 30 grains of salicylic acid in one-half ounce of flexible collodion, In the course of a week or ten days the corn, wart or callus softens and may be wiped away. I do not guarantee this, I merely suggest it is harmless to try.
