Medford Mail Trifjne Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THE opinion 1 growing In th senate, we read, that some lorm of aale tax must be adopted If the budget la to be balanced. If that Is true, we shall hear a great deal more about the salea tax In the next few weeks. For the budget MUST be balanced. "B ALANCINO the budget." as has been often explained In this column, means raising as mueh money In taxes as the government Is spending. That Isn't being done now. The government of the United States Is running behind at the rate of bet ter than two billion dollars a year. That means ruin If It goes on In definitely. Governments, just like Individuals, must take In aa much as they spend or OO BROKE. WHAT Is a sales tax? Well, we have one here In Ore gon. H Is known as the gasoline tax. Every time you buy a gallon of gasoline, you pay a tax of four cents. It Is probably the least protested tax we have. IP you use so average of ten gal lons of gasoline a week, you pay an annual sales tax of around 30 a year. Because you pay It a little at a time, you don't notice It. If you had to put up the twenty dol lars ALL AT ONCE, It would seem a terrible burden. There are sound objections, of course, to painless taxes. When tax money comes too easily, the tempta tion to spend too much of It is strong. But In the present emergency, w,hlch Is a REAL emergency, the need to raise enough money to enable the government to pay Its bills Is so great that we can't afford to be too particular. IP the budget" Isn't balanced, the value of our money will decline, as It did during and Immediately following the Civil War. Because people fear that will happen, there Is lack of business confidence. As long as confidence In the future Is lacking, business CAN'T IMPROVE. That Is why this question of bal ancing the budget, of which you are reading so much in the papers, Is so Important. MAYOR Jimmy Walker's personal accountant deposits 1700.335 In banks and brokerage houses In the eouree of five years. Where did the money come from? Who spent It when It was spent? No definite and provable answer to those questions can yet be given. But, knowing Tammany methods and Tammany Ideals, we have our suspicions. Still, the people of New York, who pay the bills, seem to like It, for they keep Tammany men In office year In and year out. IP you read the papers carefully you noted a little Item the other day relating that the skeleton of a man nine feet tall haa been unearth ed near Tonopaft, Nev. That brings up the tradition of tall, red-headed men who lived In the Tule lake country, down below the line In Northeastern California, before the Indians came. As Indicating a weakness in this story, It was pointed,, out In this column the other day that no skele tons of these tsll men have been found. HERE Is the skeleton, and Tono pah Isn't so fsr from the Tule lske country, where mysterious rock carvings resembling not at all the picture writings of the Indlens are to be found. Scientific men who know about these things ought to find a lot to Interest them In this Southern Ore gon and Northern California coun try. fHB city of Grants Para was laid out by Jonathan Bourne.

GARNER HITS BACK AT CONDEMNATION OF RELIEF PL Hoover's Opposition to Pub lic Building Expected Says Democrat Cites Cam paign Speeches of 1928 WASHINGTON May 38. (AP) Speaker Garner slspped back today with a stinging thrust at President Hoover and proceeded with plans for speeding his relief bill through the hpuse. To the president's charge tne public works phase of the speaker's two billion dollar relief bill was pork barrel" legislation. Garner re plied the same appellation might be applied to the reconstruction cor poration, for which non-partisan support was elicited by Mr. Hoover. The Texan said the tax he pro posed on gasoline would prevent the publlo work from Interfering with balancing the budget. Opposition Expected. "President Hoover's opposition to the bill to relieve destitution, to broaden the lending powers of the reconstruction finance corporation and to create employment by au thorizing and expediting a public works program was not unexpected." Garner said. The Democrats did not expect to receive real co-operatton from the president In any matter benefit ting the masses and those who might be termed the middle class of Ameri can people." Garner said the reconstruction finance "corporation act, sponsored by the president, could logically be referred to is a "pork barrel" fot the banks, Insurance companies, rail roads and financial Institutions, If the appelatton were applied to his public works program. The speaker added that Mr. Hoo ver's campaign speeches In 1838 urging a billion dollar building pro gram, "Illustrate the utter Incon sistency of the president's present attitude." Garner Issued his statement shortly after Majority Leader Ralney made public a summary of the revised bill which Increased the total from 3,146.874,468 to 13,309,084,337 or by $163,309,809.

C, May 28. (AP) A raging controversy over the sales tax focusing on President Hoo ver and the press swept the senate today and temporarily stalled the billion dollar revenue bill. The upshot of the furious debate was a demand from Senator Con nally (D., Tex.) for a statement by the president on his position and the circulation of a round robin pe tition pledging members to vote against the disputed levy.
