Truer truths never
were uttered. Every democracy that
has gone down has sunk under the
weight of debt which proved to be
beyond the capacity of taxation to
meet. In the resultant confusion and
disorder, the people turned to what­

Oregon property owners will be
spared the necessity of pungling up
for the support of the World War Vet-
ems State Aid commission next year
if the state tax commission follows
the recommendations of the Veterans
commission and waives the half mill
levy, as is expected. With loan re­
payments to the commission decreas­
ing and its debt service increasing,
the wisdom of this action is seriously
questioned by many well Informed
state officials who predict that the
slight saving to the taxpayers next
year wfll be far more than offset by
increased revenues made necessary
in future years In order to keep the
commission’s sinking fund out of the
red. Three times before this levy has
been omitted, two times under the
late Governor Meier and once under
Governor Martin. Indications that
income tax collections next year
might not be suffeient to cover all
state needs is believed to be respon­
sible for the commission’s recommen­
dation that its levy be waived.

MIND ACQUIRES MOST
BY VISUAL FACULTY
Results of a three year re­
search on the human mind at
Harvard university discloses that
the mind acquires 85 per cent of
its knowledge by visual means.
Fifteen per cent of the knowledge
acquired by the human mind is
done by hearing, tasting, feeling,
etc.
This,
when
summed
up,
amounts to no more than the
fact that the human mind is best
affected by things the eyes see.
That is why newspaper adver­
tising is the most efficient me­
dium any merchant can use. The
mind receives the message by
visual means.
So, when you
think of advertising do not waste
your shots—they are few and ex­
pensive. Use the most logical
and effective means.

LETTER
CITY
TO
CANDIDATES
Coquille, Oregon
Oct 18, 1038
To the Editor of The Sentinel: It
seems to be a matter of general know­
ledge that there are at least two dis­
orderly houses operating in Coquille.
No new laws nor ordinances are re­
quired to put them out of business.
Other small towns find very effective
ways of dealing with such places, and
I feel sure that Coquille can do like­
wise.
I have also heard complaints con­
cerning the poker games operating in
some of our licensed establishments.
Policemen in other towns are in­
structed to drop into such places at
frequent intervals and check up on
conditions. If any house is found to
be evading the law in any particular,
the fact is noted, and mention is made
of it when they apply for a renewal
of license.
It is a comparatively
easy matter to regulate such things
in a small town.
'•_! Last year the business men of Co­
quille brought a petition to the City
Council requesting them not to grant
any additional licenses for beer par­
lors. But with this petition on the
table before them, they voted to grant
a new one anyway.
In a few weeks we will be electing
three new councilmen and a mayor.
Personally, I would like to know how
the various candidates stand in re­
gard to the matters mentioned above.

R. H. LAWHORN
County Commissioner
Democratic Candidate for Re-election
I am making my claim for reelection upon the accomplishments
of the past four yean, namely:
In the saving to Coos County of approximately 812,000 yearly in
interest payments by the funding of warrants and reduction of in­
terest rate.
Upon the thousands of dollars increased revenues by the sales of
county owned property, increase percentage of gas tax refund and
the settlement of the O A C Land Grant sales of which the county
now receives a 75% benefit.
A Bill before Congress, which we have every assurance will be­
come a law, will give Coos County a 78% share of the sales from the
Coos Bay Wagon Road Grant Lands instead of 25% as heretofore.
This alone will mean hundreds of thousands of dollars to the county
from this Land Grant.
Many more savings and revenue increases have been accomplished.
Coos County also has built nearly 100 new bridges, replaced sev­
eral hundred more, spread thousands of yards of rock upon roads, be­
sides building over 40 miles of tfew grades. Additional to this; sev­
eral hundred miles have been maintained. To do this it was neces-
road equipment today compare favorably with other counties in the
State. Never In the history of Coos County has there been so much
road and bridge work accomplished, for the amount of money expend-
We have raised salaries and wages to conform with other like In-
dustries.
We have met our Indigent and Old Age commitments and have
preserved the credit of our county.
In spite of all this expense we have during the past three years,
not only underspent our Budget allowances, but have reduced our
county debt over 8375,000.
Upon the above accomplishments and my pledge for further debt
reduction I solicit your vote NOVEMBER 8th.
