"INFORMATICS TO TOURISTS BEARS NO TAX; OIVE IT I-KEBUI" (Hdllne Eugene News.) Upstate blg-heartedneas. Ouy Edward (Whatsman) Hudson and his mate, Minnie E. (Whatams) Kennedy are back again on P. 1, The Secretary of the Treasury, opening the OOP. campaign with a cpeech, desires to know "what the admlnlatratlon has not done to end the Depression?" Well, for one thing, not a drop of the 9,904,893 tone of cures gratuitously presented by Jackson county economists has been given a trial. Interest In the Olymplo games la increasing. Mythical aunts residing In Los Angelos, will soon be sick enough to causa valley nephews- to run down and see them. Witnesses In the School Merger petition robbery hoax at Portland, have disappeared.. It may be that the witnesses have accidentally kid naped themselves. A rriotorused barn hit a runt auto square astern on the Sped No Dleway late yesterday, and the noon man brought a postcard from Tla Juana, Max., showing the driver drinking a (lass of beer. Many around here are so onthnsl eatlo about the repeal or Prohibition, that a atock salesman for a bung starter factory, oould clean up for fair In 2 days. DOWN ON CUR FARM (Peoria Journal) JOLIET, 111. Mrs. Btewart Vanderbllt beat oft a bull that bad attacked and kn'xked her husband unconscious with a pitchfork. It Is noted In the press, "that the depression has caused the drama to sutler." This la what Is known as balancing the Buffering. Some capital was scared out of the state the first of the week without a session of the leglslsture, There Is still some talk around here about a revolution. No revolution will be a success around here until all the rope, and oross-arms on phone poles are abolished. Why am I unhappy Why am I unsuccessful? Why am I not attrac tive? Why do I atand still? (Love Agony Col.) Ask me something? . It begins to look like the state would get through an election with out a fish bill on the ballot. . A nugget pin with a "safety catch" baa been lost. The "unlosded gun" generally has a "safety catch," too. A number of clairvoyants are showing up In the ranks of the Democracy In this county, and pro phesy with deadly certainty the elec tion of F. Dr Roosevelt The most Interesting type of Democrat ever to frequent these parts, was the 1910 variety. Every time he heard McAdoo called "the Crown Prince" he had a inking spell, s NON-PARTISAN AND TRll (The National) The Republicans, with the unanim ity of a chain-gang, have renominat ed Hoover; the Democrats, with ths karmony for which they are noted, have named that performer who was most expert at sidestepping, riding wo horses, and hanging In the sir. Both parties have written platforms which on fundamental economic lasues are as rosy snd as meaningless as a barker'a ballyhoo. Now the clrcuaes that opened In Chicago move on to the vacant lots of the nstlon. The presidential election of 1033 will be a pec'.cle worth watching, the greatest show on earth. But behind the great shadow-fight between the two candidates of the Democratic-Republican party for which the American publlo paya so heavily yesr by yesr, the real strug gle grows more desperate every day. On November S, as the politicians settle down to the spoils of victory or defeat, Americans will enter upon the fourth winter of unemployment, insecurity, and actual hunger, allevi ated only by the fitful gilts of char ity and the grudging appropriations of politicians, Lets Look Before We Leap! TTIIE federal relief bill when signed by the President will provide over $2,000,000,000 to relieve unemployment, by financing construction in this country. Medford and Jackson county, in common with other parts of the country, have a serious unemployment problem, which such a construction program would relieve. Obviously this part of the country, like every other, is entitled to its share of this 2 billion. Every effort should be made to see that Southern Oregon GETS IT. e e e IP we can get $6,500,000 for a railroad to the coast, connecting with Klamath Falls, as our share, a project which this paper has supported, off and on, for nearly two decades, the Mail Tribune would certainly register no objection. But under present conditions, with scarcely a railroad pay ing its operating costs j with 164 CLASS I RAILROADS, in the most densely populated districts of the country, losing 76 mil lions, in the first four months of 1932, with the short haul, almost exclusively in the bands of the motor trucks; WE SERIOUSLY DOUBT THE POSSIBILITY. e e e A T any rate we think it would be foolish to put ALL OUR EGGS In this one basket. Far better to carefully study the provisions of this relief bill FIRST, determine just what sort of construction it provides, and then decide upon some alternate proposal, or proposals. I TNDER present circumstances, for example, wouldn't there be a far better chance of securing a paved, three-lane high way to the coast, adapted to both passenger and truck trans portation, which would be less expensive, and more in harmony with the gasoline age, which opened a new era in modern transportation f We believe there WOULD. At any rate we are convinced it would be foolish to rest our claim for federal relief, exclusively on this railroad proposal, for if it failed, then Southern Oregon might be too late, to get its rightful share of the benefits to be distributed. TTHIS is an important problem fiM wa Rriniil1 mail intn it and serious consideration. If after such careful consideration the Tailroad proposal SHOULD appear to be feasible and our best bet, then the co operation of the other counties in southern Oregon, financial and political, should be secured, before the final plan is pre sented before the board that must make the final decision. For Unless Klamath, Josephine, Curry and Del Norte coun ties would support the plan, there would bo no chance whatever of Jackson county putting over such an extensive project ALONE, either without the support of its neighboring counties or in face of their active or passive opposition. We note the Grants Pass Courier has already opposed the project on the ground it "would improvement." Let 'i convince county this would not be the case, BEFORE we send a delega tion to Washington to rush the thing over. e e e e IN othor words, right or wrong, the government is GOING TO LOAN THIS HUGE SUM, to all parts of the oountry, to stimulate business, give employment, and bring sorely needed eeonomio roliof. The people of Southern Oregon as tax payers, will have to SUPPLY their share of this loan. We would be derelict in our duty and asleep at the switch, if we didn't sec that we RECEIVE our full share of what we must pay for. see THE question then oomes down to this WHAT IS THE BEST WAY to do this, not only from the standpoint of expediency but from the standpoint of what, eventually, will be of the greatest benefit to the people of Southern Oregon, today and in the future. . Let this decision be the result of careful study, and serious thought, rather than hasty, precipitate action. And when the best plan HAS thus been determined, whether it be a rail road, a trunk highway, relief of irrigation, or what not LET ALL SOUTHERN OREGON GET BEHIND IT and put it over with a bang 1 Stop This U. ofO.-O. S. C War fNE of the most deplorable products of the depression psychosis in Oregon has been the mess in which our higher educational system has been thrown. ' The confusion and bitterness aroused by the Zorn-McPherson consolidation measure, has reached such proportions, that our entire system of state education is threatened. On Monday next the Board of Higher Education meets to select a chancellor for its new system of unified education. The Mail Tribune is oonvincod that unless the best man available is selected for this post, only a miracle can prevent disaster. Who this best man is we don't know. But we have the highest regard for the abilities of Dr. Kerr of O. S. C, and as the present mess has been largely due to rivalry and jealousy between his institution and the university, we feel his appoint ment would go far toward bringing about a truce between these two institutions. IJIS appointment as we see it, would insure defeat of the Zorn-MacPhcrson measure, and at the same time, nullify the spirit of bitterness and retaliation which such a defeat might arouse in State college circles. True he is not only identified with, but has been the moving spirit of O. S. C. these many years, but we believe he is BIG ENOUGH to drop all prejudices and partisanship, and ABLE ENOUGH to handle the administration of the unified state system, successfully, during this trying reconstruction period. His appointment, as we see it, would offer the best chance perhaps the only chance of ending this destructive and absurd educational civil war. And until that is ended, there can be no hope of educational harmony or progress in this state.

THE CHILDREN LIKE IT Today came a letter that tells the whole story about the diathermy method of extirpating tonsils. I hope medical readers who are still ad vising or using the old Spanish meth od exclusively will see this letter and perhaps the light. Dear Dr. Brady: I want to Viank you for telling my mother about Dr. and dia thermy. I am 7 years old and It Is Just thic yrars ago today I had my tonsils cut out. Just a few weeks ago Dr. finished my tonsils. But I like to have It done by diathermy much better than surgically. Sincerely yours, Roderick . Along with Roderick's letter came one from his mother, who says Rod erick wrote me without prompting or suggesting from her, as a genuine expression of his diathermy. She ex plains that the same doctor has re moved her tonsils by diathermy aa well aa fragments of tonsil from the throats of her two sons, who had undergone the radical operation three years ago. The diathermy method la becoming Increasingly popular for the clearing up of tags and fragments of tonsil left in the throat after the standard tonsillectomy. Pretty tough to break the news to such patients that they must have another operation to clean up odd and ends left by the first operation. Even the brass throat spe cialists haven't the nerve to maintain that bloody surgery is the only sat isfactory method in such circum stances. Roderick shows his good sense In preferring the diathermy method to the old Spanish custom. Who wouldn't? Only the goof who doesn't know about modern developments In surgery. Diathermy extirpation of the ton sils Is surgery, of course. Beware of any shyster who pretends It Isn't, and beware of the medical and non medical quacks who canvass the pub lic for business on the plea that they use some method I happen to have recommended In this column. No one can claim to have my endorse ment for hJnwelf or his method, not with my knowledge or consent. I have been compelled to take action to atop certain disreputable persons from such Illegal use of my name. In this tonsil treatment or any other ! treatment I suggest, it Is of first Importance to be sure the physician Today's Guest Editorial The Mall Tribune, thanks to the courtesy of the American Legion.

Elliott (President of Purdue University.) This is a frightened old world. Clear evidence of this la presented on every tide. Many have lost much of their wealth. All of us have a feeling that the material things we value are like ly to slip away from us In spite of all we can do. From this panicky attitude comes a new danger; that we shall lose our wits along with our wealth. We know what an orgy of specula tion has done to the world's produc tive Industries. This should put us on our guard against the risks of an orgy of speculation In our protective Ideas and our progressive Ideals. These observations are made as I come from an official review of a large Officers' Reserve training corpi. The chief reviewing officer wjs a high ranking soldier of the army, one to whom the nation owes much for his distinguished service and valor in the Great War. As we went down the straight lines of straight, stalwart young men 3,000 in all as we watched the competent looking stu dent officers competently executing the responsibilities of their com mands, there was for both of us, the schoolmaster and the soldier, a feel ing of deep satisfaction. This satis faction had nothing to do with the mllttary Idea. Here was a form of training that was adding Invaluable and easily seen elements to the Individual power and the civic stature of young men such as no other form of train ing or education could add. Why could not those who today, either by reason of Idealism or the sense of the need of national economy, or other- wise, seek to weaken or destroy that Today By Arthur Brisbane The King Wrote 'Nothing' A Smile for Gabriel 'Gentlemen's Agreement1 One Question, You Answer Copyright King Features 8ynd- Ino.

DUle Co.) part of our system of national edu cation represented by the Reserve Officers Training Corps, be brought to a realization that the purely mili tary objectives are Incidental, Aftre more than 40 years of active contact with military Instruction In our colleges and universities, I poi ses a firm conviction that the Re serve Officers Training Corps must be valued entirely apart from the question of special training of young men for military ends. This orga nization contributes largely and ef ficiently to the development of those essential qualities of which dynamic human character la composed a sense of personal responsibility, the necessity of purposeful cooperation In this modern world, the inspiration of leadership and of fellowship, and a clear recognition of the eternal place of order and organisation In human soolety. Here Is one activity through which civic service and relations are given a relentless a practical and also an Ideal setting. It Is the one place where the relation of the In dividual to the whole nation la sym bolised and vitalized. The Reserve Officers Training Corps gives to young men something that is in sharp- contrast to the present day endency towards civic Irrespon sibility and lawless Individuality. They come to realize that strength of character must be tested In the hard and common realities of life rather than tinted by sentimental preach ments, it la the presence of the force of such characters In our na tional life rather than the absence of the force of arms that will pro duce fellowship and peace of the world. Let there be real economy in the spending of the national cash Such real economy doea not Include the spiking of the guns of character. monuments, and all over Paris. The original July 14th was a ' great day for France and all j the world. The people com-1 pelled the three dominating powers, royalty, nobility and clerpy to get off their backs. The revolution produced Na poleon, "the little Corsican with the itch." sent bv the revolution to conquer Italy and j Austria, and finally it pro duced the powerful French re- i public. ! The wise. Including our best minds, j should remember one Incident In i connection with that original 14th of July. At the end of the day King j Louis the sixteenth, soon to lose hi j head, vrrote In hu rtlary the one word B1KN meaning "nothing" In bis shooting at Fontalne-Bleau that day he had not killed anything. But bis subjects. In the PLACE DE LA BAS TILLE had killed something. Its name was "the dlrln right of kings." Do angels smile?

No Jazz orchestra, no dancing, oc. such frivolity, six hun dred young and old sang 'There la a Happy Land, Far, Far Away." If only all America were like that, under prohibition, but It isn't. You're told on good authority that France is sending more champagne here now than was sent before prohibition. It coats more, but there la strange satisfaction for certain citizens in breaking the law. Italy, France, Britain are reported to be united In a "gentlemen's agree ment." Under that agreement, ac cording to good authority, not one of those nations will repay any part of Its debt to Uncle Sam without the knowledge and approval of the oth ers, if that la called "A GENTLE MEN'S AGREEMENT" what would Europe call the other kind of agree ment? It Is announced that President Hoover and Mr. Bennett, of the Canadian government, have agreed on digging the St. Lawrence canal. It would give ocean ships access to Great Lakes cities and mid-western farms. The price suggested, eight hundred millions, would be cheap. Ordinarily a canal entirely on United States soil would be demand ed, but there Is no doubt that our harmonious relations and friendly competition with Canada will last In definitely. The next step should be a canal taking ocean ships from Chicago and the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mex ico through the Mississippi valley, giving a southern as well as an east ern door to the outside world and the oceans, , That would be Insurance in cose of any accident to the St. Lawrence canaL - The proposed St. Lawrence canal will have two dams, developing 2,000, 000 electric horse power. One will be In Ontario, one in New York state. Will Canada's share of the power be owned and used by the people of Canada, sold to Canadians at half the price charged In the United States as happens at Niagara Falls? And will New York's nhare of the state power be owned by private Indi viduals taking "all the trafflo will bear" and charging double the price of power In Canada, as now happens Enjoy The Latest News of the "Home Folks" on Your Vacation Trip.

Much trouble In South America. Uruaguay and the Argentine have broken off diplomatic relations, do not speak. Brazil's revolution seems serious, Paraguay and Bolivia have a quar rel about the Gran Chaco boundary. There are revolts in Peru and Ecua dor. Under ordinary conditions all this would be the cue for some other nation, European or Asiatic, to step In and annex territory. The Monro? Doctrine prevents that, and South America ought to know It. Certain teachers In Chicago, paid no sal ar its In many months, have been absolutely unable to pay taxes on their homes. Now the city that didn't pay their salaries, threatens to seize their houses and put them out. The government reconstruction, fund was able to advance eighty million dollars to one Chicago bank In trou ble, and doubtless advanced It wisely. Why can't it help Chicago in Its financial troubles, taking for security Chicago city bonds? Anybody who knows the people of Chicago knows that those bonds would be ultimately as good as any In the world, In prin cipal and Interest. - Hungarian Nazi ' Forming Hitler Force At Home BUDAPEST.
