Why Not a One-Year Franchise? HPHE question of the California Oregon franchise is coming up again before the council this week. We regard this as a very important matter. We feel strongly that the people of Medford should have all the facts concerning it, and heartily approve of the publication of the terms of that franchise. But there are other matters surrounding this agreement almost as important as its terms, and in this direction the conomic developments of the next year may be of great im- portance, All things considered, we believe it would be to the inter ests of the people of this city, if the council would sign i franchise for one year only at this time. During this year many things that are not now clear would be clear. Many things the people don't understand, would be understood. We repeat, when the people know all .the facts regarding a problem, they can be depended upon to be fair about it. During this year they could get the We feel that such a solution of the problem would be essentially fair alike to the people of Medford and the California Oregon Power company. And in this, as in other public matters, that is all the Mail Tribune is interested in a SQUARE DEAL, to all concerned Its Up to the Grand Jury! TlfE HAVE absolute faith in " and fairplay of i,r,e people Given all the facts regarding the people as a whole, can be right and fair. We had hoped that with paign, all this table-thumping pravity in the publio life of this for a few weeks at least, we would be allowed a breathing spell a uci(i interval during which we might go on about our I o o business somewhat as usual, . 1 so completely broken down that be formed to clean up this sink of and boodle gnatcherg at ' of unarmed men are still safe in Vigilance committee is established.

And we also ask them AGAIN in all fairness if the place to establish that truth or falsity, is not before the body provided by law. namely the regularly drawn grand jury which is NOW IN SESSION. The Mail Tribune made this demand before, and the answer was that such action would mean a "hearing of the gang, for the gang and by the gang." Is this to be the "alibi" NOWt Here are the members of the grand jury. . . Howard A. Hill, Medford. Josiah 8. Hibbard, Butte Falls. . Irving Porter, Ashland. Wm. Barber, Ashland. Mrs. Anne E. Carley, Medford. Reed L. Charley, Brownsboro. Leo B. Williams, Medford. Are they members of the Medford gangt If evidence of any wrong doing were brought before them not to mention bribery, corruption or murder couldn't they be depended upon to do the just, right and honest thing f And if they can be so depended upon, then how can those responsible for these charges, refuse to present NOW, every scrap of evidence they have, to support those charges. There is the grand jury. There are the charges criminal charges. If those charges are not base slanders on this commun ity, and every self respecting citizeu in it, NOW IS THE TIME TO PROVE IT. A ND trying to side-step this responsibility, by maintaining there can be no justice in Jackson county until District Attorney Codding is removed from office will not work. The people of Jackson county KNOW George Codding. They know that a more conscientious, hard working and absolutely honest man, never occupied that office. They also know that no one would welcome evidence of wrong doing more enthusiastically than he, no one would be more anxious to clear up this gang business than he for the charges reflect upon him more than anyone else. But even if this were NOT true, it would be no excuse for the anti-gang crusaders, not presenting their evidence before the grand jury at this time. For their demand to appear before that grand jury could not be refused. And if they question the honesty, integrity and fair dealing of the District Attorney, their duty to present evidence supporting that charge to the grand jury is as inescapable as their duty to present evidence of all their other charges. TO GENTLEMEN, the die is cast. This gang talk has been going on now for nearly twenty yeara, and the time for the final show-down has come. Certainly only slightly less guilty than those who commit crimes, ARE THOSE WHO HAVE EVIDENCE OF CRIMES AND REFUSE TO DIVULGE IT! We appeal to the sense of justice and fair play of the people of Medford and Jackson county if this is not true. We also ask them in all seriousness if this also is not true: THAT THOSE WHO ARE ADVERTISING MEDFORD AND JACKSON COUNTV AS A PLACE WHERE LAW AND ORDER HAS ABSOLUTELY PRESENT THEIR EVIDENCE TO THE GR.ND Jl'RT NOW IN SESSION, TO SUSTAIN TH VT CHARGE Oil FOREVER AFTER HOLD THEIR PEACE. facts, the fundamental sense of justice of Medford and Jackson county. any specific problem, we know depended upon to favor what is the close of the primary cam talk about corruption and de community would cease.

Fine weather in the capital of the world's automobile indus try, f The event looked forward to at the moment is the annual 500 mile race that will start at Indianapolis next Monday, Dec oration day. This year Edsel Ford will drive the car that will start the races. He will lead them around the track once in a twelve cylinder Lincoln, at a moderate pace, about 70 miles an hour, and start them after one lap around the big saucer. Mr. Erskine, president of the Studebaker company, has en tered five stock cars. Practical ly all the others were built for racing. General Motors and Ford do not compete. Captain Riekenbacker will be there. No American should forget him. Best of all the air fighters we sent to Europe, he represents the courage and skill that this nation will need some day. On the wall of the General Motors reeearch laboratory occupying an entire building und the direction of Charlea F. Kettering, you read "The Death of a Theory la the Birth of a Pact Mr. Kettering should add to that, for nobody knowa it better "The birth of a sound theory sometimes wipes out fallacies mistaken for facta." For Instance the theory that the earth goes round the sun wiped out many accepted "facta." In that admirable laboratory the ories are born and transmlted Into facta. You see a machine that can look Into a mixture of metals and tell what la In the mixture. With that machine Archimedes could have analyzed Hlero'a golden crown with out ualng the Idea that occurred to him In his bath. There Is a machine, tfaat looks into the centre of a steel axle and pho tographs the slightest flaw.

An application of that scientific miracle may some day enable as tronomers to study the fixed stars, planet and our sun. as though they were standing still. In that same laboratory, music Is sent over a beam of light to a dis tant radio. There is no sound where the beam starts, If you cut off the light with your hand the music stops. Near that transmission of music by light you see an engine used for ex periment with engine "knocking" trouble. A knock that could be heard two blocks ceasea when a certain fluid Is added to the ordinary gaso line. And, more wonderful, the knocking when at lta worst, stopa Immediately when a tiny uncorked bottle of a certain chemical Is held before a pipe leading to the knocking. None of this chemical goes Into the fuel. The engine simply "sniffs" the odor, and stops knocking. You have seen a lady brought out of a faint by holding salt to her nose. This Is the same thing In mechanics. Henry Ford had for his luncheon party today, at the plant, his son Edsel, Mr. Sorensen, his manager, Mr. Cameron, M. O. Meigs commonly known as "the Goliath of the Ameri can Weekly," this writer and some others. They all ate bread made of soy because Mr. Ford experiments with everything. Mr. Ford who seemed not to have the slightest Idea that we are all "enjoying a depression was Inter ested In showing about five hundred antique steam engines, gas engines and hot air engines to Mr. Metga, who like himself, knows all about oil l teed, wster pumps, valve (eara, auto matic governors, and other mysteries. aTverjr steam engine that was sver run, from the first to the latest Diesel product, la In Mr, Port's anti que collection.

William Brady In care of The A CASE OF WALL A girl of seven years died of some mysterious Illness In England recent ly. Th county analyst found 3.65 mg. of arsenic In her body. That Is somewhere In the neighborhood of a third of a grain. If I have not forgot ten the metric measure. A third of a grain of arsenic Is a whale of a dose for even a big strong man. A fairly safe medicinal dose of arsenic Is one-hundredth of a grain. In the sitting room of the home where the girl had lived the analyst found .that arsenic waa being given off in gaseous form from the wall paper, which was affected by mold. Now I want all my mentors and critics to note well that the arsenic in this Instance entered the body In the form of a gas, by Inhalation. It was not absorbed thru the skin. Nothing ever la absorbed thru the skin If the skin Is not punctured, blistered, scratched or otherwise broken. This la true, no matter whether It be a case of shoe dye poisoning, nitroglycerin, T. N. T., dy namite, duco, mercury, lead, ethyl lead, wood alcohol, benzol, and des pite the arbitrary inferences of small time coroner's physicians and old time medical authorities. I might Include Professor Kahlenberg and his boric acid trick In the general ruch, only I'm still a wee bit wary of this man his students all over the coun try seem to worship the man, so I am not yet ready to go to the mat with him, but anyway he Is the only per son of scientific standing I defer to In this countroversy over the ability of the skin to absorb things. Samples of the wall paper In the sitting room where the girl had lived showed the presence of 8.3 parts of arsenic per million. Where the mold grew there were only 2 3 parts; In the plaster there were 91 parts. 8 pores of the mold attach them selves to the damp paper, grow vig orously, and generate a gaseous form of arsenic. That's how wall paper poisoning happpens. Arsenic la an ingredient in many wall papers, In the Ink or color, es pecially In green papers. Other members of the girl's fam ily were found to have traces of ar senic in their blood, but not enough to cause any serious trouble. Just why the little girl absorbed and re tained so much of It the report of the case does not make clear. Pathologist of Cardiff infirmary states that probably the flour paste used for putting on the wall paper served aa a medium for the growth of the mold, which liberated the arsenic aa a gas. The Jury gave a verdict of death from dysentery, with arsenical pois primitive engine supposed to have run In the Seraplon at Alexandria long before the birth of Christ. That, probably no longer exists. If he could find it he would make It run. He has enough skilled mechanics, restoring these old engines to equip an ordinary large factory. When this writer arrived at Dear born this morning, Mr. Ford had Just answered a telegram received from L'Anse, Michigan, telling him that the only bank at L'Anse had closed and asking "won't you advance seventy-five thousand" to start the bank going again? Mr. Ford'a reply which this writer has his permission to print Indicates that Mr. Ford thinks the kind of bank that decides to die might as well stay dead. He wired to the L'Anse committee that had asked for seven ty five thousand dollars as follows: "We have hundreds of simitar re quests and thus far we have not been convinced that it la wise to support a system that haa so lamentably fail ed in protecting the savings which working people have entrusted to It. STOP the primary function of a bank is to provide a place of safe deposit and not to Jeopardize this In sny way. 8TOP It seems to me that the duty of savings bank falls upon those whose mlsjudgment Injured It. STOP We have studied several communities In these matters and find that they do very well without banks as at present managed. STOP A prosperous bank too often nans a mortgage community, and such prosperity Is the forerunner of depression. 8TOP "Lending money at high interest is' no help to any community. STOP Advise your people to plant their gardens and work their farms and dispel the fallacy that money can make money. Henry Ford." You will note with Interest that Mr. Ford In hla telegram repeata the advice so often given by Voltaire cull I von, nna Jardlns. "Let us culti vate our gardens." Mr. Ford's telegrsra apparently does not spplr to bsnks engaged In bank ing that do not blow up. Tou will learn with Interest that following a bank explosion. Tecumseh, Mich., haa had no bank. A reliable man has been put In charge of a safe that belonged to the old bank. Citizens who wish to depoelt money for safe keeping bring I It to that safe, and get It out again when they want It.

PAPER POISONING. oning aa a contributory cause. Well, arsenic poisoning, when acute, produces characteristic dysentery and cholera-like symptoms. Mild chronic arsenic poisoning Is much more common than people gen erally know. It occurs In various oc cupations where arsenic Is handled In one form or another, and It occurs from exposure to arsenic In domestic life. I am not going to describe the symptoms of mild chronic arsenic poisoning. But I may suggest a harm less remedy. That Is a dainty dose of sodium hyposulphite, say 20 grains. In a half glassful of water, for eight successive days In, each month. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Seventeen Cats. Neighbors keep no less than 17 or 18 cats. Most or all of the cats have some disease which keeps them con stantly sneezing, coughing with a film on their eyes and bunches on their faces and throats, yellow pus masses. These people are members of a sect and they do not believe dis ease occurs and they will have no treatment. A veterinary physician who saw these cats said he believes they all have tuberculosis. What are the dangers, If any, to human be ings? Mrs. W. H. W. Answer If it Is tuberculosis It Is the bovine type, which Is not likely to Infect human adults but may In feet children, causing the bone and lymphnode tuberculosis In young chll "dren. The condition you describe would seem to be a nuisance which should warrant some investigation by the local health board. Beer Versus Milk. What truth Is there in the testi mony of an alleged expert before a congressional committee that there is almost aa much energy in beer aa In good milk? H. M. D. Answer Approximately the same amount of truth In the assertion aa there is energy In beer. A man could n't drink the prodigious volume of beer (many gallons) he would re quire to furnish the energy for a light day's work. The catch in the propaganda is that little word AL MOST. Fumes of Lime, Can you tell me if Inhaling the fumes of lime would be of benefit to a person with T. B. A friend thinks this Is helping him. Miss C. K. Answer There Is an old theory that persons Inhaling or ingesting considerable lime are less likely than others to develop tuberculosis, or that persons who have the disease do bet ter If they get more lime In one way or another. I do not know any more about it. (Copyright John F. Dllle Co.) Jenkins Comment (Continued from Page One ) by making It Impossible to extend the atreets over this strip of ground. But It didn't work.
