Ponderous thinkers of the state,

come to. trie conclusion that ' the
way to reduce the taxes, la to reduce
the taxes.? Thl '' Idea originated
with none other than - Walter M.

the voters with his tears, In 1921.
In action, however, Mr. Fierce re
duced taxes, by Increasing them. In
Jackson county, the most popular
method of reducing taxes Is simpler.
It constats of leaning up against a
bank, look mournful, and causing the

ANT. World business lias been seriously ill, and is still far from
well. Hut the rules which apply to business health, are identi
cal with those which apply to physjcal health.
Imagine what would happen to an individual who had been
seriously ill; if in the midst of the illness, or when convales
cence had started, the doctors, the nurse, the members of his
fanuly and his friends, did nothing but talk about his itches
end pains, and the slight chance he had of ever regaining his
health again. Only the individual of; extraordinary vitality
and will power would ever survive. lie would not only have
to' fight the disease; but those dearest and nearest to hiiiv '
i '' ....
IT IS the same with business. The anvil chorus with its con
stant squawking, its insistence upon looking upon the dark
est side of things and predicting the worst, is doing everything
in its power to invite the supreme disaster it deplores and pre
sumably wishes to avoid. '"'.'

is TO FACE THE PACTS AS THEY ARE ON ONE HAND:
AND THEN PLACE THE BEST POSSIBLE CONSTRUCTION
UPON THEM, ON THE OTHER.

Health and diet propaganda, says
the bureau of agricultural econo
mica,' haa produced a demand for let
tuce that has pushed It Into second
place among vegetable foods. Iu
popularity Is exceeded only by that
of the potato.
That shows what health and diet
propaganda can do wlt,h nothing to
start on. The legend that lettuce la
"good" for humane la based largely
on the fact that It la green. But
so are the leaves of the shade trees.
Lettuce does have a food value, but
to get the benefit of It the consumer
Would have to eat It by the bale.
When health and diet propaganda
went to work on It lettuce was used
only to garnish a plate of real food.
It was wholly ornamental.
But the health and diet propagan
dists, who never can let anybody
alone, got the notion there must be
rune connection between lettuce and
the superior Intelligence of the rab
bit. They announced this discovery
to the world with the result that
millions of people now have attained
the Intelligence of rabbits. The only
reason the rabbit atlll leads to that
he does not put salad dressing on his
lettuce. , (Kansas City Star)

The Medford Public Library
HERE is a bit of good news. .
The Medford public library, under the able direction of
Miss Woolscy, has been going quietly along from year to year,
doing its job, without any blare of trumpets or clanking of cym
bals. '"
Everyone has known it was a good library. But wo didn't
suspect,, and believe few others suspected, it was as GOOD as
it is.
A pamphlet entitled "The Letter," published weekly by the
Manchester Educational Center, of Pittuburgh, Pennsylvania,
edited by Samuel Ely Eliot, came to this desk the other day,
and from a report of the meeting, of the American Association
for Adult Education held in Now York city, we quote the fol
lowing extract : '. ; - '
"In one of the general sessione, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi
dent of Columbia University, closed a magnificent address with the
fniinwinir aio-ntricant nersonul anecdote. Referring to the special in- ,
terost whloh library reading lists have always hod for him and Inci
dentally he oast a slur on a great many of them by saying they tend
altogether too mucrvto include 'Beat Sellers' and 'Books of the Month'
' he told about an experlenoe he had when he dropped into the 11
. brary of the little town of Medford returning from a visit to Crater
Lake:
" I picked up the reading list, from the library desk, and waa de
lighted to find a well balanced piece of work. The treatment of a
subject from one angle was offset by Its treatment from other angles;
Its approach by an author of one type with an entirely different ap
proach by some author of another type. It was an inspiration to en
counter a genuine example of creative work of this sort In a distant
part of the Union.' "
Not bad, coming from ono of the foremost educators and
publicists in the country today, a man with both a lmtiotia! and
international reputation for never indulging in hot air, and
never giving credit excopt where credit is emphatically duo.
Good Work
i
HERE is a bright side to this much-advertised depression. It
has been a truism that public officials are always asking
for more money for themselves and their departments, and iil
wuvs fighting against iiuy suggestions of retrenchment and
.eonomy-EXCEPT ppR THE OTHER FELLOW. .
Hut thanks to ngKressive leadership and good business sense
in Jackson County, local officials yesterday voluntarily na
eepted reductions in their departments which will total up
proximately 1,0110 a year. :
Knowing these officials, one is safe fn predicting that their
service to the people will be as efficient and sat'iHl'iietory, in the
future, as in the past. The county officials have simply done
voluntarily what every well managed business hits been forced
t do cut here and save there, to successfully meet the changed
eeonnmie conditions.
ALL CREDIT TO JACKSON COUNTY OKKICIALS! Les
sons of economy and greater efficiency in public business, ns
well as in private business, imposed by hard times, will bring
larger profits when good times return again.

Is it poslble to cure varicocele by
exercise, such as running, and the
application of hot and cold packs?
Can the IU effects be remedied by
this method? J. R.
Answer Sounds like a farcical cult
cure. Varicose veins in any situation
cannot be cured by such fool remedies.
Varicocele has no particular 111 effect,
save the discomfort It gives In some
cases. I dislike to answer impersonal
queries about morbid conditions,

The behavior of three-year-old

Then abruptly he was put down,
his small presence entirely forgotten,

Time and again this performance
