WHAT THE LEGISLATURE NEEDS.
TIIK PKKSEXT session of (lie legislature shows clearly Hie need
of a cliuiigc in k'tdslnlive pi-oiwiliiiv.
After forty days not a sinjjlo important measure 1ms been passed
(i ml lis tliu Orison Voter says t lit; intricacy of tlie problems involved
brought "confusion worse confounded mid tlicu more confounded
confusion."
As wo have previously pointed put the essential trouble this year
Stoes back to the election, uii'l the injection of the religious issue, with
consequent organization particularly in the house, based on utter dis
regard of personal fitness.
Hut there is another important reason why the present session to
date has been one of the least satisfactory in recent years. Import
ant legislative enactments were insisted upon by (fovemor Pierce,
but tho governor at no time, made clear tu the legislators just what
he wanted.
Some people maintain the governor is merely playing polities.
That he is KtalliuK iiroiuiil, so that when the session is over nnd noth
ing constructive- has been accomplished, lie can put all the blame on
the legislature nnd to all criticism present his personal alibi,
Perhaps, and perhaps not. Only the governor can know his inner
most feelings and he shows no disposition to divulgo them.
Hut this much is certain. Practically no one in the slate house,
from janitor to chief executive, is eager to oppose the popular will.
Kvcryonc wishes to give the majority of the people of Oregon what
they want. The difficulty is to know what they want.
Under the present, arrangement this is impossible. The legislators
hear from certain interested parties from time to lime, but they have
no way of knowing what public opinion really is.
If there were a divided session, this opportunity would bo offered.
II! tho legislators could travel to their homes now, and remain for
two weeks, not only would a better understanding of the various
measures be obtained, but every legislator would return with a fairly
clear idea of what his constituents desired-.
A measure providing for such a change in legislative procedure
was initiated recently, but was defeated at the polls. AVe believe a
similar measure should be offered again, and in view of their present
experience the people should perceive the wisdom of passing it.
Quill Points
influenza is so small it can
FILTER
PASS THROUGH AN EARTHWAR
Influenza Is not u now illHeaso
world wide epidemics of tho disease
haf o occurred ut Intervals Tor a long
timo. The pandemic of 1!1S was the
most outstanding of tho scries, bo
cause of the high mortality that occur
red with tho disease.
It has been observed that during the
years immediately following an epi
demic of influenza there occurs sec
ondary waves of tho dlseaso of a mil
der character.
At the present time wo are In tho
midst of such u socondary wave. Mild
influenza is now prevalent In tho
state, in the United States, . and in
parts of Kurope.
It is of very great Interest to learn
that on Feb. i, Dr. Simons N. Klexner,
director of the Itockefeller Institute
for Medical Research, announced tho
discovery of tho cause of influenza.
Investigations at tho institute have
resulted in the discovery of a previ
ously unknown, very minute germ
which is presont in tho nose and
throat during the first thirty-six hours
of an influenzal Inroction. This small
bacillus has never been found In heal
thy persons, or those sick from other
diseases. When tho bacillus Is In
jected into the "windpipes or rabbits"
It produces effects similar to those
seen In human beings in the several
stages of influenza.
This new bacterium Is so small that
it can pass through the pores, of an
earthenware filter, and when magnl-
lied one thousand times It can just be
seen distinctly. It lias been given the
naino of Uacterium I'lieumosintcs,
which translated Into simple English
moans that this germ Injures the lung
tissues in bucIi a way as to deprive it
of tho power, ordinarily jHissessed by-
It, of resisting the attacks by the com
bacteria of the noso and throat.
The disease is Bpread in the same
manner as an ordinary cold, primarily
by direst contact. Avoid people who
cough and neczo without protecting
their noso and mouth with a handker
chief. Avoid visiting people who are
sick or who have colds. Avoid con
Jested, badly ventilated rooms. Keep
yourself in godll condition. Get the
fresh air habit and keep it.
If you become ill go to bed and re
main for 24 hours. If you do not get
better call your physician and follow
his advice.

LKT US PAY our .income taxes with a broad and cheerful
grin, looking not like battle-axes as we hand the money in.
I-ct us be serene and sunny, chortling with a joyful sound; for

Though the total has dismayed you, wear no frown upon your

It is hard to take the boodle Unit we need for gas and oil, paying

needs the plunder, he is holding out his hands, and we strip our
rolls asunder to comply with his demands. He requires a sum
that 's regal, coin musi reach him in a stream, that our celebrated
eagle may not wilt and cease to scream. So the dead game spurts
are rising, with their bundles on their backs, and with fortitude
surprising they pay up their income tax, And the pikers all are
swearing as they near the captain's desk, they are angry and de
spairing and their words are picturesque. Since we all must take
our bitters let us take them with a grin, let us fill the air with
twitters as we hand the kopecks in.

To tho Kditor:
In your apoc of February 33 there
appears a very poor aeeount of the
basketball prime between Medford
and Kogtm River last Monday niKht.
I wish you would print thiH letter so
that tho people of Medford will get
tho straight of conditions.
You undoubtedly printed the re
port uh It was given you without any
first hand knowledge f the game.
The game is described as a "wild
serainble" Instead of a good, fast,
clean game of basketball. The re
porter said that for. "want f .a bet
ter name it was cane ., basketball."
This Is only an indication of tho re
porter's ignorance of what constitutes
a basketball game. The article re
fers to the Rogue lllver Community
hall aa a "tiny hall" and a "dinky"
floor. Tho truth' of the matter is
that tho hall ik' regulation and
answers tho requirements of na
tional qualifications. It is as large
as the gymnasium ut Ashland and is
as largo as the majority of modern
gymnasiums being installed in the re
cent high schools. Tho hall Is as large
as tho basketball "floor of tho Port
land Y. M. C. Ann'Tho hall is much
lurger and mueh;.l.inoro satisfactory
than the nttlc of tho Oaskot Grocery,
which is the best Medford community
can now afford.- Instead of renting
a swimming pool and skating rink,
tho people of Rogue River have the j
Initiative and spirit of genuine co- j
operation sufficient to build a regu
lation hall of their own. j
I believe your reporter should be
Informed that any .team is at a disad
vantage on a strange floor. He should
also be Informed that few ulaccs are
going to build a Natatorium so that
Medford players will always feel at
home. He should also be Informed
that thero were more than 400 people
in tho hall Instead of lfiu as was re
ported. Ho should also bo informed
that tho gam was fast nnd clean and
that both teams were well satisfied
with the good clean conduct of every-j
one In tho hall from tho referee to i
the smallest router. I
Rogue River is a sister town to I
Medford. We want to co-opcrato all
we can In making-Jackson county ai
county of good spirit, free f rom i
neighborly malico and discontent.
The greatest forces toward keeping
peace nnd harmony in the commu
nity uro undoubtedly the schools and
the newspapers. Your school has
done her part, r hope your news
papers do theirs. In these days of
unreliable jourmi lism . Itf seems that
The Tribune cant get tho trust of
the public. A report such as was j
printed concerning, tho game aocom-j
phshes nothing constructive but does
much destructive work. It Is very
intereHiIng to note that the Ashland
paper gave credit whihe credit was
due. even though Rogue River de
feated Ashland at basketball.
Tho recent athletic controversy
between Ashland and McdYord. pave
an opportunity for outsiders to side
with cither town. Medford wilt lose
much mural support of tho public if
she persists la such partial, biased
untrue and misleading reports as the
one which appeared last Monday.
If a school of less than thirty pupils
defeats Medford it is no disgrace to
either team. It simply shows that
constant practice will develop a good
product. Would it not be a good
thing for the Medford public to con
stantly practice good sportsmanship
and thus be an example to the
younger generation coming up in
their midst.
The score of 3D-37 merely shows
that Medford won the game. - It does
not show that either team is the bet
ter. The score varied too much
through the game to prove a better
team. Come on be a real sport
print .the facts give credit where it
is due.
Very truly yours;
A SPECTATOR-.

To tho Editor:
I have read this morning the re
port of the Lincoln banquet as pub
lished in your issue of the Rtth.
Whoever wroto the article deserves
great praise. It may be your own
self or It may be some young man
employed by you or some young
woman for all I know, but I have
never read a better report of such a
meeting. It is accurate, free from
yellow tendency, well written and ac
curately proportioned. Whoever wrote
it has unusual talent in this line of
work.
' That was a fine gathering of
people nnd it. was a genuino pleas
uro to address them.

thousands of New York City people
who arc praising Tanlac for the re
beautiful , before my time. Things had become
almost unbearable and my whole sys
tem seemed to bo crying out under
its burden of ill health.
"W1, it wasn't many days after
I began taking Tanlac until 1 knew I
turn of their health, strength and j was on the right road to recovery,
happiness. ... My appetite increased, my tired feel-
Kor 4hree years past." said Miss I ig began to leave, my nerves steadied
Stud ley, "I have been in a very badly
run-down .condition and, when I
began taking Tanlac, I had little hope
of ever being my normal self again.
My nerves were so undone that at
times I could not keep back the tears.
Some days 1 enjoyed my meals and
other days I simply had to force
myself to eat. I had no energy and
the least exercise would leave ine
completely exhausted. My complex
ion was becoming sallow and rough
ami I just -seemed to be getting old
down and before long I was feeling
like an entirely different person. My
complexion is even better now than
it lias been and everyone is asking
me what has brought about such a
great change. - I am grateful for the
way Tanlac has helped me back to
health that I never lose an opportu
nity to recommend it. It certainly is
a grand medicine."
Tanlac is sold by all good drug
gists. Over .35 'million bottles sold.
