Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
YP YOU are one o! the common
people, as nearly all of ' us are,
here la a thought (or you (or thla
Easter Sunday, which commemorates
the rlae from the tomb of Jesus, after
His crucifixion:
The coming cf Jesus was the real
beginning In this world of some mea
sure of consideration for the rights
and the welfare and the day-to-day
happiness of the common, ordinary
run of human beings. '
OEFORE the coming of Jesus, the
- common men was an unconsid
ered trifle . In the affairs .of this
world, which were carried on chiefly
for t,he benefit and glory of the
great.
What was Macedonia? tt was
Philip, or Alexander. It wasn't at
all the lowly Macedonian who tolled
and died that Philip and Alexander
MIGHT BE GREAT.
What was Egypt? It was the Pha
roah, for whose glorification the
masses sweated beneath the lash of
Uit overseer In the building of the
Pyramids, and were left to die when
their atrength failed.
What mattered the common man
In those days? NOTHING AT ALL! I
CAME then the birth of Jesus, and
some 30 years after His birth He
went forth one day upon the high
way. I( you know your Bible, you
have read what happened that day.
It Is told thus:
"There came one running and
kneeled to Htm, and asked Him:
Good Master, what ehall I do that I
may Inherit eternal life? And Jesus
ssld unto him: Why callest thou
me good? There la none good but
one: that la, God. Thou knowest
the commandments: Do no commit
adultery: Do not kill; Do not steal;
Do not bear false witness; Defraud
not; Honor thy father and mother.
And he answered and said unto
Him: Master, all these things have I
observed from my youth. Then Jesus,
beholding him, loved him and said
unto him: One thing thou lackest;
go thy way, sell whatever thou hast
and give to the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure In heaven; and come,
take up the cross and follow me. And
he was sad at that saying and went
away grieved, for he HAD GREAT
POSSESSIONS."
LET us read on:
"And Jesus wentround about
and aalth unto his disciples: How
hardly shall they that .have riches
enter Into the kingdom of Godl And
the dlsclplea were astonished at Hla
words. But Jesus answered again,
and sslth unto them: Children, how
hard la It for them that trust In
riches to enter Into the kingdom of
Godl It Is easier (or a camel to go
through the eye of a needle U.aa for
a rich man to enter Into the king
dom o( God."
THE rich men 'of Jesus' day, you
see, and of all the world before
His day were with few exceptions the
great onea of the earth for whom the
earth existed. This doctrine that the
rich and the great might be wrong
waa Indeed a revolutionary doctrine)
nnHIS doctrine waa RESENTED, as
might be supposed, by the rich
and the great and the privileged and
In a little while the promulgator of
It waa crucified upon the cross.
But the doctrine that Jesus pro
mulgated thla doctrine that the
world does not exist for the exclu
sive glorification of the rloh and the
great, but for the common aa well
did not die.
It went on down through the ages,
gaining atrength as It went.
n
IT GAINED strength very slowly.
You have read, for example, In
this column that the king of France
who ordered hla men-at-arms to
shoot a poor workman laboring upon
a roof, and laughed uproariously at
the spectacle of the dead body roll
ing clumsily down and thudding
lifeless upon the hard ground.
That was a long, long time after
the birth of Jesus and His subse
quent crucifixion.
BUT It grewl
Among our own ancestors, its
growth was signalled by Wat Tyler'a
rebellion; by the marching feet of
Cromwell's men. j
In a later day. In France, the de
scendant of those same common
people who stood by helpless and
watched one of their number shot
upon a roof by a ribald king's man-at-arms
rose In their anger and their
mlg.1t and bloodily did away with
kings.

DAILY SNOWFALL
AT
CRATER LAKE
It has been snowing daliy at Crater
Lake national park for the past two
weeks with the exception of one day
the first of those weeks. Is the news
brought down to Medford by David
Canfleld. chief runner of the nark.
on his return Friday night from a tj'o
flays stay there. ,. .
During these two weeks eight inches
of snow fell dally. 4 Inches In the
day time and 4 Inches at night. The
fall waa peculiar In that It fluctuated
from very lfght to very heavy at alter
nate periods each day.
There haa been much settling down
of the mass of snow In the park, but
the present estimated depths are as
follows: Fifteen feet at the rim, 12
feet at Government Camp. 11 feet at
Anna Spring camp and corresponding
depths elsewhere according to eleva
tion and exposure.
The snow plow la kept busily at
work dally In efforts to clear the
roads Inside tha park, and not much
headway Is being made became of the
dally fall of fresh anow.
The probabilities are that If more
snow continues to fall, Crater Lake
national park will not be thrown open
to the public by April 1st, as had been
expected some time ago.
Last year the park was opened to
public travel on April 1.

Search For Fleischer and
Wagner Grows Rum
Runner Tells Lindbergh
Men Seen With Infant.
HOPEWELL. N. J., March 26, (AP)
The nation-wide .hunt for Harry
Fleischer and Able Wagner, "known
kidnapers," waa Intensified today aft
er a rum runner told a representa
tive of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh he
thought they were the men he saw
March 2 on a boat on which a baby
also was a pasaengcr.
The unidentified man appeared at
the famous flyer's estate early today,
refused to talk to state police, and
said he would give hit information
only to Colonel Lindbergh or his rep
resentatives. Sure They're Men Wanted
He told those who talked to him
he was sure the two men on the boat
were Fleischer and Wagner. He said
lie Identified them after being shown
pictures of the pair being sought.
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, state
pohce superintendent, said the man
Imparted his Information "without
any member of the police department
being present," but that official In
vestigators later were given the sub
stance of his remarks.
The rum runner la the same man
who early this month told the coast
guard of his encounter with the mys
terious boat 25 miles at sea the day
after the Infant Charles Augustus
Lindbergh, Jr., was stolen from his
home here.
The men asked for a compass, he
explained, but when a baby who was
below deck chled the craft sped away.
It was virtually the same etory
Colonel Schwantqopf quoted him as
telling early today, except that he
added the possible Identification of
the two men.
HEAVY PAYMENT
IN TAXES MARKS
E
Brisk payment of 1031 taxes, con
tlnuea In the tax collecting depart
ment of the sheriff's office and In
elude payment of back taxes. The
taxes became payable February 14 and
the Interest penalty starts In May.
LaM Monday, with collections of close
to toooo. waa one of the largest days
In months. The work Is facilitated
by the fact that the tax collection
department received the tax rolls
from the assessor's office earlier than
usual. Preparing of the tax state
ments was consequently hastened.
Two or three reasons are advanced
for the tax payments, which gener
ally atart ten days before the final
date, to end In a ruah. One theory
la that the appeal of President Hoover
against hoarding. Is finding a re
sponse, another la chariness of In
vestments, and another la that peo
ple, regaining confidence, are making
tax payments aa a sign of returning
normalcy. Appearance of property on
the delinquent tax list Is another
reason advanced.
Another rosy sign la that auto own
ers are buying quarterly licenses with
more alacrity than last year.

Party Leaders Saved From

volters Hawley Pleads
Against Tariff Levies.
Itr ( e.ll B. llknn
Associated Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, March 36. (AP)
Impotent In their desperate efforts to
stop a wild stampede 1 nthe house,
party leaders were rescued today from
complete rout by the Instigators of
the bl-partlsAn revolt against the
revenue bill.
After a tax had been voted on coal
Imports, the leaders fought with
threats and pleas to stem a flood of
tariff proposals. Only when their own
chicftaus turned to aid the bill's
struggling proponent did the sales
tax coalition stop the rampage and
vote for excise leviea carried In the
bill.
Favor Crisp Section
The house then voted finally, IBS
to 14, for the soctlon proposed by act
ing chairman Crisp of the ways and
means committee including levies on
Imported and lubricating oil, malt, :
wort, grupo concentrates and the coal
amendment, expected to yield a toUl
of 83.000,000 in revenue.
Again resorting to drastic measures
to prevent additional onslaught on
the bill, party leaders adjourned the
ungovernable and confused house In
the middle of the afternoon and de
ferred further consideration until
Tuesday.
When Representative Parsons (D.,
III.), offered an amendment for a tax
on Imported fluorspar and It appear
