! ' With absolute faith both in the futnrfl i)f the-newspaper
business! and the future of Sledford and Solttbern Oregon,, the
owners of tho Mail Tribune decided the tiine: had eoine to, back
up tliat fiiith in! a practical way take advantage'ioi a 'quiet

TPIIIS, expansion program, as shown in the, hews stoi-y '. ahovo
mentioned, is an extensive ,one and invoives a material in
crease in tho Mail Tribune's investment. Not only will there be
a' lijomplete internal reorganization calculated to give greater ef
ficiency in every department, but new equipment will be in.
stalled, including a' modern rotary color'.', press, a Ludlow,
another new linotype, giving the paper a battery of five ma
chines and improved and up-to-date facilities In the business
and news offices. , . ,i

AS BEFORE stated, this change involves no new policy, it is
merely a continuation and extension of the Mail Tribune's
ESTABLISHED policy its constant effort to give the: people
of Medford and Southern Oregon the best newspp.per that its
rcsoureos can produce, merely another forward step' in its de
sire to make the Mail Tribune as far as it an be made -the
best "small city" newspaper on the Pacific Coast. ' ' ""
- To take such action at this time, requires some courage, and
involves some risks. Hut we: wish to pin no laurel, wreaths on
our assembled brows. All business enterprises demand courage,
and ho business can advance without taking risks.
IJ CTT we tlo believe or at least we hope that such action at
this time,;; will, not ,only. prove to be of ultimate benefit to
this newspaper, but will be of immediate benefit to the com
niilnity. ' - '.'-.-"'' '.'.';' ,
For with so many wailers at the wailing post, this, action
should : contribute toward dispelling pome of the prevailing
gloom, and revive the courage of those who -have seemed to
forgot that Medford IS as it has aiways been, and will always
continue to be, THE "BEST LITTLE CITY ON THE COAST."

If tho stock market is as most everyone believes, a true
barometer of business conditions then this epoch-making ac

. Wo don't mean it has transformed bad times into good times,
or that the booni days of 192!) or any approach to them have
returned. ;. But wo DO MEAN that the back ortia panic lias
been broken, and that, while there may be further fluctuations,
the general trend of business will hereafter be up, not down.

the home of the brave, BUSINESS IS. WHAT COUNTS.
Call it money worship, crass materialism, call it any names you

' If business conditions do continue to improvfc, if from day

is the malicious Bniptng directed
against Hal Hoss, the only state
official loft not under the gov

and pave the way for the election
of -one Who wears the Meier col

The latest spectacle of reprisal
sptte was staged Monday, as re
sult of the rule adopted by - the
motor license department refusing
the Issuance of special license
numbers as the practice caused
confusion, dissatisfaction and un
necessary expense. The Govern
or demanded preferential treat
ment and the selection of special
numbers for his three motor cars.
Because the request was refused
and the executive treated as other
auto owners, Mr. Meier charged
that Oregon license plates cost
more than those of other states
and announced his intention of
probing costs in the secretary's
office.1 which Is not in his province

The United States, In the opinion

straint of the so-called depression
have had th salutary effect of ar
fording time for debt-paying, while
tho hesitancy to make Investments
or to enter upon tuslness enter
prises has resulted In a tremendous
increase In the volume of savings.
"So far thia year.' say a Hugh
Hancroft, New York financial writ
er, "we haven't been buying very
much, but we have boon setting out
of debt very fast. From October

TTPICAIi TAX REDUCTION"
.-' Typical, of legislative attempts
to reduce taxation' fs the new law,
now , in , effect, requiring counties
to pay the' state $30 a month for
the care of Insane and feeble
minded patients- in state Institu
tions committed from those coun
ties, and in turn -collect, when
possible, -thta amount from fam
ilies and relatives of the afflicted.
.Under this - benlflcient arrange
ment, the saving In state taxes
Is added to- county taxes, so the
gain to the taxpayer is nil.
. Care of the insane and feeble
minded has hitherto been regarded
as a state, not a local duty. Under
the' new dispensation, the state
provides the Institution, but the
counties Its : upkeep. Why the
state cannot make Its collections
from individuals instead of forc
ing the county to. Is probably be-,
cause the latter system provides
two new sets of jobs at taxpayers'
expense to administer it. The state
has already appointed Ben: Wing
at a salary -of 9225 a month and
expenses, provided office and cler
ical force to supervise ' collections
from the counties and now the
counties must appoint similar or
ganizations to collect from the
families of the afflicted. '
. As the majority of the Inmates
are without means and come from
families without means, the cost
of maintenance falls upon the
county; ' Marlon county alone will
have to pungle tip $50,000 or more
iri additional county taxes, With
prospects of recovering but 1 a
fraction of the amount. The costs
of administration will ' probably
offset 'the 'collections, the net sav
