The Medford high Bchool basket ball
quintet trimmed the r.-t.st Etna MfllK
five by a score of 3'J to 19 hint night
on this Nataatorium floor. The fa mo
was fast, especially In the first half
when both Hiuaui Htrugglcd for ' an
advantage. During that period the
tea in -work of ttio local men was
wtmewhat ragged, but in the second
period when their playing speeded up.
they showed banketball clans seldom
seen in high school games. The
husky and fast Etna Mills aggrega
tion was equal to the Northern Cali
fornia teams of several years ago, but
fell down In basket shooting and their
team work was demoralized by the
M ed ford defense.
The improvement In the 'perform
ance of Klum's hoopsters is encourag
ing to Medford supporters. The fact
that no player on the local squad
stood out for individual superior
work speaks well for the concerted
play of tho I ted and Black squad. For
Etna Mills Nutting, forward and
Jewis, playing guard, played a clever
game, while Captain Wilson proved
to be a bear-cat at scoring on free
tosses. Hughes, Ashland coach, who
refereed the game, won the approval
of the spectators for his fair handling
of the game. The lineup was:
Medford Etna Mills

JAPAN VIEWS GIVEN OUT

to limit Immigration as provided in
tho so-called "gentlemen's agree
ment,"
"In the third place, therefore, may
I ask you to note that the Japanese
government and tho people nro not
clamoring for tho removal of any of
the present restrict Ions on Japanese
inimigrntlmi. On 1 ho contrary th
government has shown u willingness
to examine and correct any of Uu de
fects and abuses of tho existing ar
rangement. The Issue Defined.
"What then is this much talked of
'California Issue' of what does .'apan
complain? Let me try to answer.
Japanese aliens are Ineligible to citi
zenship under the administration in
terpretation of our naturalization
laws. But personal and property
rights they have shared equally with
other aliens. In 1913, however, Cali
fornia devised the plan of classify
ing uliens on the basis of their eligi
bility to citizenship and then pro
ceeded to deprive those who were in
eligible of certain property rights pre
viously enjoyed by all aliens. In 1920
this legislation was amplified by an
initlaative and referendum act. Other
states are now considering similar
legislation and the people of Japan
are fearful lest this method may be
used not only in property rights, but
also in personal rights.
Evades Answer.
;"It is against thismethod that the I
government and people of Japan arc
most vigorously and earnestly protest
ing. They contend that it Is unjust
and unfair to pick out a particular
group of aliens who are under cer
tain political disabilities and deprive
them of rights, which all other aliens
are permitted to enjoy. And the Jap
anese protest presents to all our peo
ple this very definite question: In
tho larger view of our relations with
tho orient, is it wise to thus classify
aliens on the basis of their eligibility
to citizenshp?
"It is not for mo to answer this
question. The answer must he made
by the American people. But it Is im
portant that we should keep clearly
before us just what the issue is eo
that wo may more intelligently deter
mine it in tho light of tho facts and
arguments which are being submitted
to us."

Henry C. Rowland's famous Satur
day Evening Post story "Duds" with
all the thrill, adventure; romance and
picturesque qualities of the written
version multiplied ten-fold is to be
shown at the Page tomorrow and Mon
day. With Tom Moore playing Captain
Plunkett!
Not only Is the romance an exceed
ingly beautiful and original one but
there Is a gripping mystery that will
tantalize you to"'the last foot of the
film.
Was Captain Plunkett in love with a
thief? This is tho question you will
seek in vain to answer until the very
end. ;.
"Duds" is undoubtedly tho most
striking, tho most interesting, the most
pleasing of all Tom Moore's character
izations. o
10 BE STAGED
Joe Thomas, matchmaker of the
Medford boxing commission left Fri
day afternoon for Grants Pass, where
he will stage a bout in that city by
request. He will return to this city in
time to stage the February smoker.
The date will be held open for him by
the boxing commission.
Thomas staged two bouts In this
city, and both .sre clean and interest
ing affairs, without a taint of crooked
ness, or stalling on the part ot the
boxers. He aroused interest in the:
sport after It had degenerated to a low
level by fiascos, and with the adver
tisement he has received from the last
two bouts ought to pull a record house
at his next show.
Arrangements have been made to
match diet Brown and Kid Sargent of
Ashland for a return match. These
two boys put up a whirlwind struggle
last Tuesday night. .This will be the
semi-final of the February smoker.
The final event will probably be a
bout between Freddy, Anderson, broth
er of Hud Anderson, and the winner
of the Hagles-Campbell bout at Gold
Mill January 28. Joss,. Ingram was
originally intended to box Campbell,
but he has a sore eye, that needs nurs
ing, hence will not participate.

FARM
N

0 THE BIGGEST BUSINESS
1 IN THE UNITED STATES
And it is the only big business that has not been thoroughly organized during
the last few years. Because all other business is organized and the farmer is
not. The interests of the farmer have not been protected as their importance
deserves. There is only one way the farmer can come into his own and that is -.
o
RGANIZATION
Organgization needs you and you need organization, Mr. Farmer
Every farmer is entitled to three things in his business
COST OF PRODUCTION, if he produces eco
nomically.
,t .1- a-..; -v
STABILITY, OF MARKETS, over which now
he has little control.
A REASONABLE MARGIN of PROFIT, which
all other business expects and gets.
These things cannot be secured by the farmer acting individually. They must
be secured through a well financed organization. The farm Bureau has three
parts in its organization to get these three things the farmers want.
