Thla la a fundamental principle of. demo cratlu guvernment. tinTiLE they were talking " nl about the affairs of county government yesterday, the mem bers of the Douglas County Tax payers' league could well have passed a resolution urging our legislators to put through a bill to restore the pay slashes made In our county officers' salaries In 1933. ' ' ''.- Doubtless some of the mem bers who attended the meeting . yesterday would not favor pay- ing our county Judge, sheriff and other -county officers as much as most, good truck and bus drivers receive. , The salaries paid now ' are not up to that standard. The fart of the matter is that on the present basis the greatest business enterprise In the 'court- , ty, and a business In which wc arc all Interested, pay Its exe cutives considerably less money than a logging camp hook:tcmlcr ordinarily draws. ,. Wc are not advocating reckless extravagance with county funds by suggesting that these pay .cuts should be restored we are merely speaking a word in favor of ordinary Justlc. Asking a sheriff, for example, to go out any time of day or night and risk his life chasing bandits, and at the same time carry the respon sibility of collecting and account ing for more than a half million dollars in tax money annually, for a total salary of $166 per month docs not seem quite fair. a e Prior to 1933 the highest paid county officers received $2400 a year. They were cut to $2000. Others were cut proportionately. The cut, in that time of deep depression, was a reasonable move. Nearly all wages and sal aries were drastically reduced. Incomes of all kinds were pared down. But In the years since, pay cuts have been pretty gener ally restored by private employ ment. Meanwhile, living costs have gone up and there is a very real threat that a sharp Increase in prices of the necessities of life Is just around the corner- as soon as the defense billions get to rolling into circulation. e We' cannot Ignore the fact, however, that Douglas county farmers, representing a subslnn tlal majority ot Hie Individual property taxpayers In the county, have had mighty hard sledding for several years. To a great many of them, doubtless to most of them, a cash Income of $2000 a year would seem like all the money in the world. But living in a city has a way of using up that amount of money pretty fast, and there Is no way yet found to change that situation. The way tilings look now there will be a pretty good Increase in the prices of farm produce, the! next few years. In other words, so far as this county Is concern ed, the deep depression will be over for everyone except the county officialsunless the 1933 pay cut Is restored at this session of the legislature. Editorial on Newt (Continued from pan 1.) - what you have ami pay off your debts." CAVING Is generally frowned on In these days. Thla writ er, however, Is so nltl-fashioned as to agree with Dr. Maughan that In the more or less difficult times that are pretty sure to fol low the war boom a little nest- egg will come in handy. THIS writer la old-fashioned A tn ftfttA wave hAlljK(ti( that no matter what laws are passed or whose ideas control our gov- ernmcnt living standards and so cial gains MUST SUFFER as long as the logic of events com pels us to put the bulk of our pro ductive effort into war of, pre paration for war. THE National Safety Council ' reports that in the year 1940, 96,500 persons were killed in ac cidents in the United States. An other 9,100,000 persons were in jured. Economic loss, Including medi cal expense, property damage, lost wages and the overhead cost of insurance, is estimated at three and a half billion dollars. OUCH Is the cost of careless " ncss which, in one form or another, lies at the root of most accidents. KIOTE the placing of Insurance ' among the overhead costs of accidents. Most of us arc inclined to look upon Insurance as a sort of manna from heaven. It ISNT. Insurance is merely a method of SPREADING LOSSES, so that the share- of each one affected will not be unbearably heavy. There is no such thing as some thing for nothing insurance or otherwise.

Medford last night defeated Grants Pass to stay in a cl6so third place in the district race. Ashland, second place team in the district, lost to Klamath Falls last night 52 to 23, in a king's-X game. Valley teams have had trouble winning at Klamath Falls, dtie to the exhausting effect of the higher altitude. Klamath Falls is the only team to win from the Roseburg Indians this season, except for the two games lost at Ashland and Medford on the dis astrous road trip a week ago, when the Indians were plagued with sickness and injuries. Game Is Crucial. Roseburg still has a narrow edge In' district standings but can not afford to lose a game, so will be fully determined to win to night's battle while the strong Medford team, at the same time, will be fighting against certain elimination and will put forth every effort to stay in the race. Coach Jim Watts announced to day he has asked cancellation of the game scheduled with the U. of Oj Frosh here FcbruarylljC-.The inuiaus are snowing tnc cuecis ot a too strr-nuous season, and it Is feared that a j tough battle Tuesday with the Frosh would seriously endanger the Indians chances in the crucial game to be played here Saturday, February against Ashland, coacn watts slates that he greatly regrets the necessity of cancelling the Frosh game but in view of the existing circumstances and the need of a rest for his players has asked to have the game called off. Tonight's game will start at 8:30 o'clock and will be preceded by a preliminary, starling at 7:30 p. m., Iietwecn the Itoseourg a team and Yoncalla high school, leader of the northern division of the county B league.

Martha discov ers work is the best medicine for heartache. Paul is in New York, so the meeting with him is post poned. Then the Chief calls her, orders her to take important pa pers to Paul. When the plane lands, Paul is waiting to greet her. TROUBLE AHEAD CHAPTER XXVI "Oh, Paul!" Martha cried, in mixed gladness and dismay. "You shouldn't have come!" Yet even while they walked through the busy, glassed-in passenger loading underpass to the admini stration building, she it H a lit- tie throb of lehef that sne wouldn't have to buck this bewil dering hugeness alone. "How did you ever manage to get away Itom the conlerence." "What was the sense of twid dling. my thumbs in th? hotel?" He looked down at h?r wirh un disguised joy. "It's goid to see you!

Only the difference between my best suit and newest hat, ani Helen's minted house dress and jtne accompanying symphony of : Dar,y howls." As they entered the great round room which was the man ticket office of the administra tion building, Martha's breaih caught. "Why it's, it's lovelier than Grand Central station!" She had a swift impression of warm, pinkish marble; of gold glinting brass. The room was spa cious, modern, somehow thrilling. She looked up to the domed coil ing and saw that an enormous glolx the continents and oceans of the world in bold relief, war suspended above them. At each side of the -room were the misy cjunters of the various airlines, and in the center, an enormous circular' information desk. Mar tha couldn't take all the splendor !

Tl morning, when she woke up j Mrs. ' Larkin's boarding houl she hadn't had the faintest t tion that tonight she'd be in Ni York with Paul. With Paul. An ominous lit doubt shook her. Bill, there camp out of the guardhouse now had already received h note, telling him that she It left Helen's. Although they h quarreled, although she was it sure of what would come no her spine crawled, at the thoug of Bill's ever finding out abc mis. iNcver in iiiu.wunu wui ho believe the simple truth!

I'll drive you to a wi known woman's clubhouse jusl block from here!" i She gathered up her (lend the notebook, her handbag. H face was hot. "I simply can't st Paul. Surely, after all we've be through already, you should 1 derstand that!" So he took her back to the a port, in a taxi, his pipe betwe his teeth and his eyes hard. 1 bought her a ticket for the 9:: and they ate almost in silence the beautiful Airport Terra Twinkling lights on the field I low, the hum of airplane molo the sounds of wings in the dai ness above them, did nothing lighten their mood. "I can't h?lp it, Paul!" she tc out once. "I love Bill and he he's crazy enough, already." But she never dreamed, in th moment, exactly how. crazy B was to be. She never guessi either then in the restaurant, later, after midnight, when h cab pulled up in front of M Larkin's boarding house, how palling was the situation th awaited her.
