MEDFORD POSTAL
MATH MEET
The carriers of the Medford poet
office bad a goodly delegation In
attendance at the second meeting of
the letter earrlera of District No. 4,
which comprises Klamath Falls,
Ashland, Grants Pass and Medford,
held at Klamath Falls last Sunday,
and would have been larger had City
Superintendent of Malls - Houston
decided not to go, after learning
that nothing would be burled In the
. river to keep It cold.
The first meeting - was held In
' Ashland last May at which time
the temporary organization work
was perfected and machinery set In
motion for ft permanent organiza
tion. The object of these meetings
Is to unite more closely In ft frater
nal way the carriers of the district,
- to create a deeper Interest In state
and national postal organizations;
to work for the constant improve
ment of the postal service, and to
become more intimately acquainted
with each other. The next meeting
will be held some time next June,
date and place to be set later.
All the poetof flees were fairly well
represented at Sunday's meeting,
notwithstanding that the hunting
season had put In a loud call for
some of the mall men.
After partaking of bountiful
basket dinner, prepared by the la
dles, a short business session was
held.
The meeting was called to order
by the district manager, R. O. Fager
of Klamath Falls.' Short taias oy
some of the visitors were much
enjoyed, the first of which was from
the postmaster of Klamath Falls,
Mr. McCall, who spoke of his high
regard for postal assoctstlons and
their work and his sincere co-operation
with them; also of the faith
ful, bard and honest work the
postal men owed to the public
The national state vice-president,
Frank P. Fuge, of Oregon City, was
next to give a talk along the lines
of association work and service to
the public. His remarks were to
the point and were much enjoyed.
Among tho visitors were Mr. Mo
Can, postmaster of Klamath Palls,
and wife; Charles O. Whltmore,
superintendent of malls of Klamath
Falls, and wife; Frank P. Fuge. na
tional state Mcs-presldent and his
brother, from Oregon City, and

SALES TAX FLEA
TO HELP FAMILY
The following resolution favoring
a sales tax was adopted by the Med
ford Realty board and forwarded to
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards In Chicago;
Whereas the executive committee
of the finance division of the Na
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards In its meeting In Chicago on
August 80th, 1031, recommended as
follows:
Tbe devising of some plan to af
ford tax relief for the single family
dwelling occupied by Its owner."
(Section No. 4-B.) .
The Medford Realty Board recog
nizing the great stabilizing Influence
of home ownership, both in the city
and In the country, believes that now
as never before such ownership must
be encouraged, and that the amount
of money a family spends determines
the ability of that family to pay
taxes and not the mere fact of the
ownership of a home. Therefore, be
It resolved that the Medford Realty
Board recommend:
First, that all homes In the city
and farm units In the country used
and occupied by the owner be ex
empt from taxation to the extent of
the assessed value of eiSOO.
Second, that a general sales tax of
two per cent, or such amount as Is
found necessary, be levied by the
state on all commodities sold by re
tall stores and tickets sold by places
of amusement, money so raised to be
used to replace taxes now levied on
homes.
Resolved, that a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to the National Asso
ciation of Real Estate Boards, to the
real estate boards of ttie state, to
the chambers of commerce of the
stats, and the Oranges of the state.
and a copy furnished to the press.
