A guess, with plenty of range. ttyasa- New fountain Installed In atytaa Pharmacy, A GarnerHearst Fadeout J 'HE defeat of the sales tax is a stunning blow to Speaker Garner. The hard-bitten Texan's well oiled machine, instead of riding over the opposition in characteristio steam roller fashion, was knocked for a goal, with its bqlts and gears scattered all over the upholstery. It was also a hard blow for William Eandolph Hearst, not only Speaker Garner's chief presidential support, but the man who sent a delegation of congressmen to Canada at his own expense, to see how well the sales tax worked up there. These distinguished gentlemen were expected to come home and rig up a similar tax for Uncle Sam. Instead of that they came home and proceeded to swarm all over the proposal. As a result the Garner-Hearst presidential boom, at the present moment, is what is termed in Hollywood parlance a "complete fade-out." Minority Rule ' I 'HE federal sales tax, In our opinion, should have passed. Technically such a tax can be severely criticized, but PRACTICALLY, as our state gas taxes have demonstrated, it works out. This sales tax would have raised close to $500,000, 000, easily collected and painlessly delivered. Where this needed revenue is now to be obtained, it is difficult to see. e a a a e But the victorious majority in the Lower House, are not worried. What they nre interested in is not securing an equit able and sensible tax structure, but securing votes for them selves in the next election. Opposing the sales tax was poor statesmanship, but good politics. Even though a majority of the American people may favor such a tax, the fact remains there is a determined organi zation opposed to it, and no organization in favor of it. AS A result, favoring the sales tax meant loss of votes and opposing it DIDN'T. The sales tax was. defeated for Aaspntinllv thfl RflmA rpARnn that all efforts to secure prohibition reform are defeated because an organized minority is always more effective politically than an unorganized opposition. Loss of revenue doesn't bother our congressmen, but loss of votes DO. Theoretically we live under majority rule. But actually we are ruled by militant and determined minorities. Brisbane 's Behind the Times! CPEAKING of the sales tax, it is unfortunate that Mr. Arthur Brisbane never inoludes Oregon in his perpetual peregrina tions. The reason, no doubt, is that there is no Hearst news paper in this state. (Incidently something that CAN'T be termed an unmixed blessing 1) Hud the world's highest paid columnist visited Medford three or four months ago, he would have discovered something which he only discovered in Florida yesterday. It seems that a banker down there, enjoying the euphonious cognomen of Romfh, has evolved a new and interesting scheme of taxation. He would exempt from all taxation the house in which a man lives, up to a certain value on bouse and land. In other words Mr. Romfh favors "shelter value exemption." ifTPHIS," says Brother Brisbane" is a ohange in taxation which interests every region. It embodies the exceed ingly reasonable suggestion, that on earth a place, that really belongs to him and his children, as long as they Inst, once he has paid for it. . . . The suggestion, if carried out, would bring millions to live in Florida. It pre sents a pleasant change from other plans that would compel every American, to spend his life pursued by tax gatherers, with no hope this side of the undertaker's dopartmont." Whether or not this plan includes the sales tax proposal is not stated. But as Messrs. Hearst and Brisbane are enthusiastic advocates of such a tax they could hardly oppose such an in clusion. ' e e e e e IN OTHER words the shelter value exemption system of taxa- tion, as proposed by J. C. Barnes of Medford, many months Bgo, and strongly supported in had to wait three months, and travel 5000 miles to DISCOVER. Too bad. A holiday visit to Medford would have enlightened and benefitted Mr. Brisbane, and benefitted and delighted Mr. J. C. Barnes and the many devoted advocates of his tax plan. Communications Invent at Horn. To the Editor Thli communication from B. D. Brlgga. veteran southern Ore gon attorney, waj In answer to an Inquiry from the Medford Realty board, asking for hit actual experience In handling real etat loans In this dis trict. It la printed. In part, as follows : In reply to your letter of the 8th instant relative to my experience In making Investments and aa to the securities I would prefer. I would state u follows: r.tor over fifty years, I have loaned money, both In Minnesota and In Oregon.' While In Minnesota, I loaned for the American Investment com pany and others, upwards of 1,000. 000 on real property, and there was but one foreclosure on the Minne sota loans and that was to the benefit of the lender, I have been In Oregon for 40 years and have been Instrument. in loaning for myself and others many thousands of dollars with real estate as security and never lost a dollar on such loans for either myaelf or my client. I am most emphatically In favor of Investing In first mortgages on either city or country real property, giving due consideration to the value of the security and the Integ rity of the borrower. There Is an element of gambling In buying corporate stocks and bonds. In many cases, the earnings are frittered away In high salaries, mismanagement, unneceanary expenses and the lack of business integrity on the part ot the managers and promoters. In nearly all cases, we neither know the managers or pro moters and the investors have been In the past, and will continue to be in the future, the sufferera. a man should have somewhere Southern Oregon Mr. Brisbane What would have been the result If these Investors hsd Invested wisely In the manufacturing enterprises ol the localities In which the investors reeldef The local Industries, with this added capital, o o u 1 d have thrived, furnished payrolls for the unemployed and made such Indus tries successful. The money that should have been used to finance local enterprises has been withdrawn from local needs and Invested In foreign bonds, non-resident corpo rations and has gone to enrich the pocket of the high-powered stock salesmen and to Increase the value of the mortgage security, securing the payment of the bonds, and. if on foreclosure of the mortgage se curing the payment of the bonds. no surplus shall have been realtred. the capital stock would be a total loss. If the money Invested by the lenders In the nogue River valley in the non-resident corporations and foreign bonds could have been passed through the bunk and Used In local industries ot the valley, there would have been no depression here. Loans would have been obtainable from the banks and from Individuals. It would have been better for the In dividual lenders, aa well as better for the communities In which the lenders reside. My Idea Is that the best Invest ment at the present time Is to In vest at home to good men and on good securities and not take chances on foreign corporations and foreign bonds. (Signed) 8. D.

Meat for All. Copyright King Features flynd, inc. MIAMI BEACH. Florida, March 24. The women of Mi ami have invented a new sort of dress called "The Bandana Bib" and all women through out the nation should know about it. It began with a large ban dana handkerchief, two of its ends tied around the neck, the handkerchief brought down modestly over the chest and the other two ends fastened in front to the skirt or baggy pan taloons. This answers the pur poses of modesty, covering the upper front of the body, leav ing the back and sides exposed to the sun's beneficient rays. Now dresses that Imitate the ban dana, bib idea are regularly sold and worn by women through the day, the Idea Is only a bib above the waist. This Idea will spread, with warm weather. Mr. Rudy Vallee who croons his emotions Into the microphone, says President Hoover told him "if I could sing a song that would make the people forget their troubles, he would give me a medal." Some one sug gests a song beginning "My country 'tis of thee, bring back prosperity." Many other suggestions are offered Better than a song to make people "forget their troubles" would be a song that would make people think about their troubles Intelligently, un derstand them and work out of them, t Of 120,000,000 Americans a majority are quite ready to throw their trou bles on the lap of somebody else say ing, "You take care of them," Before the "troubles" end, many Americans will learn that they must solve their own. problems, because no body else Is going to do It for them. And many, many Americans will dis cover In sorrow that WORK Is a part of lire, for which there Is no perma nent substitute. This morning, girls big little, of Miss Harris's school on .v- .ckwell avenue, In Miami, produced a musical play, with a moral. The big girls as "lazy shepherds" that did not want to work took bars of gold from the old shoemaker that lived In a hollow tree. Fairies and gnomes took the bars of hidden gold away, and the shepherds had to work harder than ever. That play would Interest stock speculators. It would especially Interest mothers of girls that are cooped up In the north, all winter fighting sinus, colds, Influenza, etc. Miss Harris at Miami maintains a school In which girls study all winter in the open air, and sunshine, sailing boats on the bay, preparing them selves for college under excellent teachers at the same time.

CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT OP TONSILS A teacher In one of the leading medical schools, with long experi ence In private and cllnlo practice, writes: X note what you quote about weather and season af fecting the size of the tonsils. How long Is it going to take the profession to learn that the tonsils vary greatly In size from time to time and can enlarge tiver night? . . , There are three classes of ton sils. Namely, what we generally regard as normal tonsils; the hy per troph fed (with new tissue but not disease), and Infected tonsils. Infected tonsils constitute approxl-. mately 3 per cent of all we exam ine. The confusion between simply swollen tonsils and hypertrophied tonsils Is almost constant . . . and that confusion Is a large factor In the tonsillectomy scandal. Even a good physician can't tell by the appearance of the tonsils whether they are Just swollen, hypertrophied or Infected. In order to make an accurate diagnosis the physician must feel of the tonsil with his fin ger or an instrument which conveys a sense of its consistency. Beware the tin doctor who decides tonsils or ad enoids must come out without trou bling to make such an examination. The tonsillectomy scandal Is fading from our national consciousness now but here and there the people are so benighted that nurses or other un qualified assistants can go out and round up truckloads or busloads of children and run 'em through the clinic to have the tonsils and hypo thetical adenoids removed wholesale by the tyroa who haunt such places seeking opportunity to get a bit of experience or mayhap an occasional fee. Although the medical profession now takes a more conservative view of tonsils than In the past, we are by no means relinquishing the principle that the successful 'treatment In many cases of chronic arthritis and other troubles demands the removal of a focus or nidus of Infection in the tonsils. This is not a theory, but a well established principle of good sound practice. The removal, destruction, steriliza tion of disinfection of such an in fected area In the tonsil Is not nec essarily a major operation, however. Modern refinements of skill and equipment enable the well trained physician to eradicate such focus of infection In the tonslle without sub the Pacific coast, the gulf regions, Florida, the Georgia coast and other resorts of all year sunshine should be used for "growing" American chil dren In the winter as well aa for growing citrus fruits and winter vegetables. Some of the thoughtful are revising their offhand decision that Russia Is only a terrible warning. It Is thought possible that a Russian government that tries every thing and plans to do everything might not be much worse than a government trying nothing and not planning anything. The Associated Press tells that Robert P. Lamont Jr., son of an Amer- J lean cabinet oi fleer, cached Moscow today, bringing to Russia one of the "ten gallon hats" well known to our (Continued on Page Nine) WAY MONEY!

The meth od which makes this possible Is called diathermy or electro-coagulation. It is the method I should choose for myself If I were suffering from any chronic disease due to focal Infec tion in the tonsils. The complete extirpation of the tonsils by this method usually re quires half a dozen or more sittings at Intervals of several days or a week. But in many Instances It happens that the Infection focus is reached and completely sterilized or disin fected at the first or second treat ment, and Immediately the patient experiences Improvement in the sys tematic trouble as a consequence of eradication of the septic source. When that happens there Is no particular reason for continuing the treatment further. Uninfected tonsil tissue In the throat can do no harm. The modern method is highly con servative. The old Spanish method (guillotine and snare tonsillectomy) is crude, blind, radical and, in my judgment, scarcely Justifiable in a community where modern skill and equipment are available. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Depilatlnn You sent me, at my request, a pamphlet on piles and constipation, and I am glad to report that after following out the suggestions there in I have had excellent results, the former trouble being much better and the latter quite corrected. . . . (Mrs. M. A.) Answer Readers who wish advice about either or both troubles please enclose stamped addressed envelope, say that you have the trouble ( If you ao not say so no advice will be sent) and be sure the signature of your letter agrees with the name on the return stamped envelope. We can not send a reply unless these plain conditions are complied with. Too many correspondents neglect to sign their letters. No matter whether a stamped envelope Is inclosed, an un signed letter will not be answered. The Prairie, the Prairie Please publish a way to get rid of Itch. I believe It Is the common prai rie Itch. . . . (H. T.) Answer Cuban, Italian, Spanish, Scandinavian and other imposing names are commonly applied to scabies, which our grandmothers grimly characterized aa Just plain Itch. Some wiseacres who aim to beat the doctor call It "seven year Itch." Scabies intelligently treated need not last seven days, or if vigor ously and properly treated as soon as the rash begins It may be cured In seven hours. If you have not had your doctor's advice about it you cannot be sure your trouble Is scabies. If you are sure about It, send stamped addressed envelope and mention your trouble. (Copyright, John F.

To Hie Editor: While on the subject of plans lor relief, why not try this one: , Every merchant has at the end of the year bills totaling all the way from 50 to 1000 that he writes off the books or turns over to a collec tion agency for collection. Instead of writing these account off the books, why not turn them over to the relief agency for collection by them, and let the agency use th money for relief. - It Is a well established fact that a person will pay a bill when he knows the money Is going for charity when he would not pay to a collec tion agency. This way, th emerchant would not feel that he had lost the msney en tirely, and that the' right parties were getting It. R. F. SINGLER. Medford, March 35.
