' "Our speech excells that of the British" says the editor of the new Standard Dictionary. Poor man, he must have been talking to American women exclusively., , An American visitor to Russia says that country is a working man's paradise. If so, they ought to label it because we read every day of hundreds of Russians fleeing across the border into Poland with heavy armed guards stationed along the border by the Soviet to prevent escapes. Why it should be necessary to guard the exits of paradise is more than the American mind can comprehend. Being a bootlegger in Medford may be profitable but being caught is not. A Jackson county judge has raised his sent ence from $500 fine and a year in jail to $1000 fine and two years behind the bars. That's for a first offense.

' j EX-I'RESIDKNT TAFT The death of William Howard Tal't deprives the United Slates of tj) servlqfis. vJe4JJiS of 4ts ifrqyiest'slatesmon, of a public servant to whom no public duty or responsibility was too great nor secondary to personal ambitions and wel fare, liut there is a limit lo which a people can humanely impose public tasks upon the individual, and in the case of Mr. Tuft the limit was passed long before his over-worked body gave way lo the terrific strain of public service. For half a century, with brief intermissions, Mr. Taft was in public life, packing into those full, useful years service as prosecuting attorney, county solicitor and judge, federal judge and revenue collector, solicitor general of the United States, governor general of the Philippines, special envoy lo Cuba, Porto Rico, PananVa and Japan, secretary of war, mem ber of the national war labor board, president and chief jus tice of the United States supreme court. Unlike several other presidents, Mr. Tafl lived to see the lifting of the clouds of popular disapproval that fell over his administration during its last days when the conflict be tween the progressive and conservative elements of the country created a general hysteria of misunderstanding, and suspicion. The results of the presidential election in 1012 reflected a popular opinion that the Tart administration had been a complete failure. In retrospect il proves lo have been four years of constructive legislation, efficient and economic administration and strict adherence lo traditional ideals and policies. , ,. Charges by Theodore lloosovell and his "progressive" fol lowers that Taft had deserted the progressive majority of tho people and had been too friendly with big business and tho Republican reactionaries appear grotesquely inconsistent with his successful policy or tariff reduction, his dissolution of the oil and tobacco trusts and other "trust-busting" prose cutions, his efforts in behalf of civil service reform, peace arbitration, taxation on incomes, governmental economy, and direct election of senators, and the establishment of the de partment of labor and children's bureau during his adminis tration. ' Tart was the victim of a schism in his own party, the ambitions of a nvm with the dramatic force and magnetism of Roosevelt, a growing nation-wide discontent with the old Republican rule and the conl'licl between progressivism and conservatism. Future generations, even more than the pres ' will '-' capable of a fairer estimate of his administration. lloss of Ills friendly motives and of Ills reiuarkuhle und mold rise his purpose to help them hear lo the prosldeuey. lie 'wits us- Ihelr burdens; lo enlighten them "Islant prosecuting utlorney of whenever possible, and lo present Hamilton eounly, Jl., ut 23 years of the heat nvallulile solution for llu-lr age: collector of internal revenue problems.

(foods, office equipment, motor cquipmienl, etc., all de pi'ecinle in value. ' Your constant loss throuKh depreciation is recognized by the federal covcinnient but too frequently it is not recog nized by the way a man runs his business. Fixtures, machinery, and other things wear out become obsolete. There comes a time when they have to be re placed with new things. That's what the "reserve for depreciation" is for per mitting a gradual, nionlh-by-month accumulation of a re- serve fund so that the replacements can be made without embarrassing or handicapping' the business. You can make your reserve fund an investment as well as a protection by using our t Certificates of Deposit. We'll be glad to discuss the matter if you arc interested in establishing such a reserve.
