MEDFORD VXTL TRIT5UNF.. MEDFOT5D, ORE10T. WEDNESDAY, DE0EMBERnV2. 1928 O ROADSIDE OUMPINlllGRIFFlTH URGES ROUSES OFFICIALS! UMBER LAND TAX L' OF COUNTY COURT! SOUTH DAKOTA GIRL HEALTHIEST The matter of eity people using the countryside an a. dumping k round a rathft widespread cus tom was discussed informally and briefly,- at the regular meet ing of the county court this morn-irK- County trucks have started the annual task of gathering up the rubbish, and more will be put on the Job after the first of tho year. The county court is looking for a cure. County .Judge Alex Sparrow was iruto uhout the abuse, and Bald he would like to catch a male factor. He said he would use diHcrction, and "tear in" to him if conditions looked favorable. Commissioner J3iir.se 11 was not so warlike, and suggested, "that us country fellers ought o dump a load of tin cans on' a few lawns, to see how they like It.' Commissioner George Alford voiced no opinion on the evil, but ' registered deep disgust at the practice, as did County Engineer George Rynnlng. City folks are charged with fill ing up a gunnysack with tin cans and other rubbish, before the Sun day afternoon auto ride, later throwing the sack overboard, along the rural highways and by-ways, when nobody is looking. Unwant ed cats und kittens are disposed of fa the, same manner, it is claimed. This latter custom, is work for the County Humane so ciety. . LAW ADJUSTMENT 'GUARDIAN' ROLES "The Guardian," the latent play by Helen Norritv which had Its premiere audition here two weeks hko, whr repeated last night over KMHn, the Mnil Tribune-Virgin station, thru' the courtesy of the 'alifornia Oregon Power company This second presentation was prompted by a wide number of encore requests from various sec tions of the valley. With Fletcher Fish unable to be present, Karl Davis demonstrated his versatility by playing a dual role. From local reports, he was successful In entirely disguising liis voice In the. "heavy." Harold Corliss again did his splendid piece of characterization in the role of Jed, the mountain recluse. Mrs. Stella Quistenberry, as the mercen ary daughter-in-law, gave an ex cellent Interpretation, as did Mary Clrelner, who played the sympa thetic role of the Mule mouniuin girl, and Kenneth JOakln who played Harney, the prodigal moun tain lad, who came home to make good, after failing in the city. Statin; that more than 51 25,000 000 is put into circulation through out the state annuully through the timber lands of Oregon, Ueorge K. Griffith, superintendent of public relations for the forestry depart ment, who was the principal speak er before the Lions cluh today, urg ed a wiser and more Intelligent ad justment o:. the timber land tax laws. , The necessity of getting a refor estation measure before the legisla ture and passing It was cited by the speaker as one of the first impor tant steps to be taken if the state wanted to preserve Hh principal In dustry" That 20,000,000 acres of Oregon land will not ;row anything but timber, and if not replanted will turn into idle land, was a start ling fact brought out by Griffith. After showing that the timber problem was of vital concern to every resident of the state, as It materially affected him, the speak er claimed that he did not udvo cate a yield tax. Such a tax, lie said, .has proved a burden to tho grower, that he cannot stand up under It, and consequently is re sponsible for much of the unpro ductive land throughout the stuto. The only fair tax, according to Mr. Griffith, would be a combina tion of a low basic land tax and n yield tax, which would apply only (o the young timber now in the process of early growth. Mr. Griffith was introduced by W. V. Fuller, director of publicity for the state forestry department. The program for the day was un der the direction of the local foest service department.

A compromise ncars between the citizens of Jacksonville, who want the pioneer Kreutzer mill road closed, and those who do not. The Chamber of Commerce and .others dcnlre that the road bo closed, so the Santford Jonen company can erect a packing plant to cost about $50,00 und employ 11! to 14 men, and comply with the state law which requires a packing plant be built a certain distance from a public road. Opponents of the plan hold that the closing of the road would work a hardship on woodcutters hauling their wares to market, and cut off the exit of mining land, owned by John Opp and the liny estate, as yet undeveloped. It is now wutrgested that a Bate be built across the road, which would end its usefulness as a road, legally but not actually. This step would allow the erection of the. plant and allow tho woodcutters to haul wood by simply opening the gate and then closing it. The road in early days was the road to Sterling, but has been lit tle used .for 20 years. In early days . the road whs Jacksonville's "J-overa .Lane." Advices come from Washington that the Bureau of Aeronautics Is planning for a location site for dirigibles. on the Pacific const nnd will investigate Medford with other cities.
