By Arthur Perry
Something should be done about
giving the worthy poor, of which
there are too many through no fault
of their own, an even break and.
a llttl bit more. Thla can be done
by the almple process of declaring a
moratorium on hooey, (tailing, ana
pounding the table till the little fin'
ger busts, In a spasm of self-glorlfl-catlon.
It Is claimed there la no way
to tell the worthy poor from the un
worthy poorof which there Is also
too many and the home worker from
the transient toller. It la as easy to
distinguish the worthy poor from the
unworthy poor as to tell night from
day. The former la always trying to
do something, and the latter Is al
ways trying to make a speech, den-
Bouncing all things. It la no more
difficult to tell a home worker from
a transient toller than It la to tell
an African lion from an alley tom
cat. Another thing: The worthy poor
1 not an artist at using the sym
pathy gag, and never stoops to petty
gyps to corral a dime. A liberal and
sympathetic public stands ready to
assist to Its limit the worthy poor.
Now It Is giving signs of being weary
of Impositions imposed upon thla
class by those who through long ex
perience with self-caused poverty, are
slickers In the grabbing and the get
ting. It should be no mighty task
to take care of both classes amply,
and In accordance with their de
serts. That there should be poverty
In a world that has too much of
everything la the sad note.

are ever able to beat the political

ROCKFOED, 111.. Ans. 8.
Glorious weather air like a
cool mountain spring. So we
hasten to amend our judgment
of the Middle West climate by
admitting, good weather can be
produced some of the time.
Everyone is talking about
the stock market again
and newspapers are featuring
the rise in stocks on their front
pages.
The universal inquiry is
"what does it mean?" lias
the market actually taken a
turn for the better, or is this
brief ascension to be followed
by another crash! The best
evidence that the worm has
turned is the universal belief
that it HASN'T.
As so many experts have
maintained, the depression is
going to end, about three
months before anyone realizes
it.
Perhaps when this is pub
lished stocks and commodity
prices will be in the doldrums
again. But if not, if a steady
upward climb . bas actually
started then look out for Presi
dent Hoover.
IIo can say what he likes in
his acceptance speech. We can
argue as we wish, about issues
prohibition, farm relief, for
eign policy, tariff or what not
with business on the upgrade
until November, nothing can
beat Hoover, and with business
no better or going down, noth
ing can elect him. Presidential
elections are decided, not by
what the people think, but how
they feel. How they feel on
the first Tuesday in November
is going to deeido the political
fate of this country, tha next
four years. This will not pre
vent the campaign orators how
ever, from taking the credit to
themselves.
The Chicago Tribune makes
a novel political suggestion
It claims the supreme issue in
this campaign is governmental
expense i. e. taxes. It asks its
readers to drop party lines in
this campaign, and defeat all
candidates for congress, who
have voted for higher taxes,
regardless of the party label. Tt
asks its readers to support only
those candidates who have
opposed increasing federal ex
penditures, or who are pledged
to a program of stringent fed
eral economy.
Behind this movement it
places the "National Organiza
tion For The Reduction of Fed
eral Expenditures" which it
declares will place nil candi
dates on record.
No one denies federal expen
ditures must be cut, so must
stato, oounty and city expendi
tures. Had President Hoover
had his way, federal expendi
tures would have been cut, far
more than they have been.
Theoretically the Tribune's
suggestion is an excellent one,
but practically it won't work.
now many people of Oregon
for example would vote against

The point Involved la that the or
dinance requires all milk to be plain
ly marked on the bottle cap with Ita
proper grade. Thus the customer
knows always Just what he Is get
ting. Almost Invariably, oustomers come
to demand Oracle A milk.
IP YOU want to get an Idea of what
modern milk Inspection means.
Just recall the conditions under
which milk was produced on the av
erage farm a couple of decades ago
and Vien compare these conditions
with those prevailing In the dairies
coming under inspection her In the
Medford district.
Then go out and visit some of these
dairies, aa Mrs. Fahtlck's crew did
yesterday. You will com back sat
isfied that milk Inspection Is a
mighty fin thing.

Senator Steiwer, for securing
federal appropriations for his
own state f How many people
of Illinois would vote against
Senator J. Ham Lewis for the
same reason!
We demand economy in local
government for that is near
home, but we don't demand
economy in federal govern
ment, for that is far away
and foolish as it is, the fact
remains, that by and large we
still regard Uncle Sam, as a
sort of liberal handed and
feeble minded Santa Claus. We
demand economy for other dis
tricts, but never for our own.
So candidates we fear will
continue to point with pride to
the money they have filched
from Uncle Sam's pocketbook,
to be spent for the folks back
home. Yet every dollar secured
means higher taxes, and with
48 states doing the same thing,
the total assumes terrific pro
portions. This attitude of the Ameri
can people must radically
change, before the Chicago Tri
bune's organization for the re
duction of federal expenditures
can get half way to first base.
Speaking of first base, the
Corn Belt flaming youth or
what's left of it listens to the
big league baseball games while
they drive io the country club
or to the Junior League tennis
tournament. Every sport road
ster has a radio on the dash or
steering post. At night o
course they drive to crooning
from New York or jazz from a
Chicago night club. No doubt
a sign of old age, but we would
no more have a radio in our
oar, than take a pair of danc
ing pumps to a fishing trip on
Rogue river.
Did we say flaming youth!
There's a lad next door, who
on our last trip was a flamng
youth, a junior in an Eastern
college. He is a graduate now
and like all members of the
class of 1931 is a charter
member of the unemployed.
This is Monday wash .day.
And at the house next door it
IS wash day.
As this is written this young

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10th.
After a soul has Rpent a
thousand years in paradise it
probably forgets to wonder,
and no longer mentons the
marvels of the place, pave
ments of gold, walls of jasper,
that strange beasts talk, or the
red, black, white and gray
horsemen.
So here in California, after
one hundred visits, you take
for granted that which amazed
you and exhausted your adjec
tive Rupply on the first few
trips.
The flowers, sunshine, sky,
the beauty of the ocean and the
mountains are not to be de
scribed. You must see them.
A drive through this city, out
to Hollywood,' off to the right
among the hills of Beverly, and
on down to the ocean over
those hills through one of the
fine roads built along the can
yon walls is, or ought to be, a
part of every American's edu
cation. You cannot possibly
imagine what this country is.
There !s "ogress, then a check,
then further progress. But ALWAYS
progress. There wilt be ten million
people In Los Angelea and the little
group of auburba around It before
existing lives shall end.
There will be fortunes made here,
far beyond the dream of avarice,
which Is saying a good deal In Amer
ica. Come and see, remembering that
In California the summer season Is
the best season.

Here, Individuals and things, not
dull news, Interest you.
Los Angeles does everything In a
determined, solemn and "big" way
always. A famous picture opening
here la aa serious a matter as the
enthronement of an emperor In old
Bysantlum.
The other night' Lob Angelea gave
a great opening FOR A BILL
BOARD, a new kind of Wllahlre bou
levard near Western avenue. There
was muslo amplified and heard for
miles, there were lights that made
you blink, and thousands of auto
mobiles blocking the roads. Two
beautiful young Hollywood ladlea In
Spanish costume turned the pages of
the bill board which waa arranged to
open like a book.
,
A Interesting aa the bill board were
the watermelons displayed this morn
ing on the road that leads to Carl
Laemmle's office In Universal City.
1 Those, watermelons were really al
most la big around aa old fashioned
beer kegs, and you -could buy two
for 3V cents.
Carl Laemmle has made many great
pictures and says pictures making
now are better than ever. Hla health
Is restored after a seven. Illness and
he Is fortunate In having a son, Carl,
Laemmle, Jr.. to carry the load.
Carl Laemmle's career Interests
young gentlemen who would like to
succeed but would like to do it easily.
Working Intensely for 11 years In
a store In Wisconsin, he managed to
savo 43300, exactly 300 a year. He
Invested the sum In moving pictured,

But, young gentlemen, please ob

"Medford, once the metropolis of

from her high estate, but something
haa happened In the Bear creek city
that very likely will ring the knell
of Medford's troubles and start her
upward again.
"That something la the unwaxrant

"Here's the way we figure It: For

in the race for the Republican nom
ination for governor. Tom Harley or
Wichita, who la an able citizen In
every way, was flfith In a field of
seven for the Republican nomina
tion for senator. Chauncey B. Little
of Olathe saw George McGill double
the vote on him for the Democratic
nomination for senator.
These were candidates who went
out to capitalize wet sentiment in
Kansas to their advantage. They
found the voters strangely indiffer
ent to their pleas. Nobody cared
about the prohibition subject as re
gards these offices, save that where
ability was equal the majority vote
went to the dry candidate.
This should be a tip to aspiring
office-seekers for awhile yet in Kan
sas. If they want to get anywhere
with the public, they should stick
to the dry side. A state that has
gone along with John P, St. John
and prohibition iawa for 60 years
isn't ready to flop over to the wet
side even if the Democratic party did
adopt a dripping plank at Chicago.
