Too frequently we, who live amongst the natural beauties of southern Oregon and northern California, i take such attractions for granted. They are home to us, and we forget the possibilities such surrounding might have as bait for tourists. The specific purpose of the wonderland association is to remind ourselves that we have this resource the power to attract desirable tourist travel and then to discover and act on the best available means to exercise our asset.

There’s something about a flag—your flag—that does and should stir the breast of any man. The flag may be just a bolt of cloth, but when it bears the stars and stripes of America, we owe it a symbolic reverence far out of proportion to the material worth of any flag. It should be cherished and cared for with willingness and consistency. Without doubt an oversight, perhaps school offi cials are not even aware of the breach of patriotism, but the American flag floating by day over the campus of Southern Oregon Normal school also hangs, limp and damp, atop the pole through the night. It is a neglected sort of flag, run up the mast to expend its days—and nights—like a rag caught by a treetop. Certainly a state-owned institution like the Normal school would give a flag proper care if the matter were brought to the attention of officials. A neglected flag is a disappointment to patriots who notice its shame, and an emblem of careless or indifference on the part of somebody. ★ ★ ★ THE PRESIDENT TELLS SOMEBODY ELSE!

EXPLAINING THE PLAN To the Editor: The Townsend movement plan, so called, to one who has had it under constant observation, has evolved into a corporation known as a national recovery cor poration. Its object Beems to be the general welfare. Dr. Townsend points out that its aim is to abol ish or to end poverty in the United States. Its proponents propose to raise a billion, five hundred mil lion dollars monthly through the enactment of a two per cent tran saction tax. The revenue thus raised to be paid at the rate of $200 to 7,000,- 000 pensioners, the revenue to be liquified and made movable by the use of postoffice money orders, franked through the malls, said revenue to be handled by federal officials on oath bound annuities from start to finish, namely: peo ple who would be guilty of perjury if they did nctf keep their obliga tions. The bill known as H. R. 4199 contains indirectly all the above conclusions, plus a forced revolve ment of revenues raised by the transaction tax. The rapid and continuous movement of wealth thus raised and distributed pre cludes any leakage or accumula tion in the channels of trade, ef forts to stall or act to mitigate benefits of the movement would be swept away by the rapidity of the current from its remotest in ception to its final reception, to its final resting place in its source of origin the marts of trade Hoping the reader will do some thinking for him or herself we leave to our critics what we have left unsaid.
