Th public pels a break for once. If Hoover Is elected, an agitator will Jump out the window, and If he Is defested will do the same, In his glee. People have atarted asking themselves questions: How did they aver fall for the wild whining In the spring ?a They Don't Know Pop "TTTE opponenti of C. E. (Pop) Gatei must be scared to death. Only .desperation, caused by fear of defeat, can explain their latest efforts to discredit Medford 's independent candidate for county judge. For it must be plain to any rational mind, to attack Fop Gates, on his splendid record as Mayor of this city, during one of its most critical and trying periods, can only prove a boomerang to those responsible for it, by bringing the truth regarding that administration, before the people of .the city and county, as a whole. And in the light of that truth, instead of the people being less enthusiastic for him they will be more so. For nothing in Pop Gates' long and loyal service to this community, and his state, is MORE to his credit, or provides more CONVINCING EVIDENCE of his fitness, for the position to which he now aspires, than bis record as Mayor of Medford. a a a a WHEN Pop was elected Mayor of this oity, Medford faced a situation practically identical with the situation now faced by Jackson county. There was a huge bonded debt, business was prostrate, civic bankruptcy looked to be just around the corner. Then as now it was in answer to an overwhelming popular demand, and a willingness to sacrifice himself, for the welfare of his community, that Pop Gates agreed to run for Mayor. Elected by an overwhelming majority what was his first offi cial act f He initiated and passed an ordinance, depriving himself and members of his council of any pay, and he served without pay not only through that term, but through TWO SUCCEED ING TERMS, and that has been the course pursued by mayors and councilmen of this city ever since. WHAT was his second official actt He found the city budget to be based upon a tax levy of 21.9 mills. He called in the budget committee and members of bis council, and told them that that tax levy was too high, he demanded that the budget expense be drastically cut, for the ensuing year cut just as low as sound business sense allowed. This was J done. , WHAT WAS THE RESULT 1 From a tax levy of 21.9. Medford was given a tax levy' of 14.6 j then to 12.6; then 12.9 as conditions improved and public improvements became neces sary, the tax levy was raised BUT ' During ALL THIS TIME, DURING HIS THREE CON SECUTIVE TERMS, THE AVERAGE TAX LEVY under Pop Gates was 14.5, as against 21.9, when he assumed office. e e e NOW we ask the fair minded people of Jackson county, whether that record, known to every resident of Medford who lived here at that time, but unfortunately not known, in the outlying distriots, is, or is NOT to Pop Gates' credit! Does it prove more clearly and convincingly than any other one thing could, that he is supremely, fitted to do for Jackson county, what he did for the city of Medford, or does it N0T1 Every candidate, from constable up, is promising to reduce taxes. But here is a man who not only PROMISED to out them, but DID CUT THEM I And he cut them, under conditions almost identical with conditions at the present time. He did for the city of Medford, precisely what we believe the people of this valley wish to be done for Jackson county. lie reduced expenses, he reduced taxes; by courageous leader ship and intelligent administration, he pulled this city out of the most critical finanoial crisis it had ever faced, and put its affairs on a sound business basis, which endured for years after he retired. AND DURING THOSE THREE ADMINISTRATIONS OF POP GATES, THE PEOPLE OF MEDFORD ENJOYED THE LOWEST AVERAGE TAX LEVY IN THIS CITY'S HISTORY, FROM 1916 TO THE PRESENT DAY. e e e e TPHEN why is this record pointed out as an argument against the independent candidate for county judge, by his ene mies! We can find only one answer. Alarmed by the sensa tional support Pop Gates is receiving, having NOTHING they can' legitimately say against him, in a spirit of sheer panic and desperation, they have fallen back on their only stock in trade, misrepresentation, personal abuse and mudslinging, and have unthinkingly brought Pop Gates' record as mayor into the mess. IT is a significant fact that the ftCOfd of Pop Gates' admin istration as mayor was NOT made an issue in any Medford paper, where the facts concerning it are so well known, that such tactics instead of injuring him, would merely increase the enthusiasm and solidify the support behind him. No! the mudslinging brigade sneaked off to Jacksonville, and it. was placed in the columns of that very EXCELLENT, but we fear,iinposed-upoii weekly, the Jacksonville Miner. (At any rate the editor frankly states he left the troth of that article to others, and bad no personal knowledge of Pop Gntcs' administration for he did not live in the valley at that time.) Then by printing the tax levy during the Gates administra tion, WITHOUT COMPARING IT WITH THE TAX LEVY BEFORE OR SINCE, an attempt was made to make the slight increase, when business conditions improved appear as an indi cation of extravagance and inefficiency, when exactly the re verse was true. As above stated the record of the Gates administration is well known in Medford. But it is not known in the country districts. Moreover there is a perfectly natural prejudice against and suspicion of Medford among many rural voters. So OBVIOUSLY the mudslinging brigade figured, they could capitaliie the ignorance of what Pop Gates had done for Medford, the general suspicion and discontent that has been aroused, by years of misrepresentation and agitation to get votes for themselves and take them away from Medford's can didate. BUT UNLESS WE ARE GREATLY MISTAKEN THEY FIGURED WITHOUT THEIR HOST. Top Gates in sharp and refreshing contrast to his opponents, does not sling mud, and will not. Hn has said nothing against the motives or characters of his opponents and he won't. He has carried the same ideals and principles into this political campaign, he has used for so many years in his private business "a fair field and no favor a square deal to all." But those who mistake this attitude for cowardice, or think that Pop isn't a two-fisted FIGHTER, are due for a rude awakening. He isn't going to throw mud at anyone else, but neither is be going to lie down supinely and let any one else THROW MUD AT HIM. He is going right'out in the country, meet the people face to face. He is going to accept this challenge regarding bis ad ministration as mayor of Medford, and is going to tell the people of the entire county the FACTS, CONCERNING IT. Before this campaign is over only those who don't care for the truth will have any excuse for not knowjng it. So far as this paper is concerned we are glad the anti-Gates cabal has tried to make his administration of this city, an issue against him. . For the more the people know about that record, the more they will agree it is one of the strongest arguments in favor of putting Pop Gates in charge of county affairs at this most critical time that could be imagined 1 That record alone, SHOULD elect him by an overwhelming majority.

Cf ALL-BLADDER TROUBLE VERSUS BELLYACHE The so-called Intelligent reader, who la usually quite ignorant ot ele mentary anatomy and physiology, not to mention hy giene or pathol ogy, will not un derstand the pre olse scientific sign If lcance of the term belly ache. The stupid reader will regard the term as In decorous. So a portion of our limited s p a o e must be used to enlighten all and sundry. The word belly Is the only English word we have to signify the anterior abdominal wall. It Is not synonym ous with abdomen, which means the great body cavity. Nor la It synon ymous with stomach. It la correct to say bellyache or psln In the belly. It la Incorrect to say pain in the abdomen, stomach ache or psln In the liver or gall-bladder or other abdominal or thoracic organ. No one can have pain In the heart or In the lungs. There are no sensory nerves In any of these Internal organs, and therefore there can be no pain sense. All the painful sensa tions produced by Inflammation or other abnormal conditions In the In ternal organs are actually felt In the wall of abdomen or thorax, which has spinal sensory nerves. All the nerve control of Internal organs Is by the sympathetic or autonomic system, which Is Independent of the will or consciousness. I never think of this lack of organ consciousness or control without thinking what a great blessing It Is to mankind, particularly civilized and educated mankind. We'd make a frightful mess of things If we had or gan consciousness or will power over our Internal organs. Pain felt In the region of the right shoulderblada has always been asso ciated with liver trouble, and now adays more specifically with gall bladder Inflammation (cholecystitis) and gallstones. The spinal sensory nerves supplying that area of the chest wall are called Intercostal nerves (because they He between the ribs); close to the spine they connect with the ganglia or substations of the sympathetic nervous system. It la thru these connecting fibers that im pulses from the Internal organ are reflected or switched over to the spinal sensory nerve and so become painful sensations. Intercostal neuralgia in any portion of the body wall may deceive the pa tient and even the physician into the belief that there Is serious disease of an Internal organ. Many a sufferer from left thoracic Intercostal neural gia believes herself (sometimes It may be himself) a victim of "heart dis BY GEO. NEUNER At the organization Friday after noon of the Vvomen's Hoover and Curtis club, attended by 75 ladles, Mrs. Justin Smith was elected per manent chairman of the group, and other officers were chosen to carry on the campaign work among the women of the county. United States District Attorney George Neuner, Introduced by Mrs. Smith, spoke to the gathering of wo men and requested the group to show confidence In the administration. He said in part: "There are no war clouds on our Immediate horlson If we stay out of the quarrel In the Or'ent and nt try to save the Occident at the ex pense of our un country. Our banks are solvent and will remain so If we will only give them a chance. Our Industries are ready to forge ahead full blast if we Just express a lltte confidence and In th future of our lnsltutlons. Patriotic labor Is waiting for the opportunity to meet lis half way and to go to work again. There fore, let us show confidence ln our country and her Institutions. She has always passed through the crisis and she will strain If only we will con struct and not obstruct. Speaking of the formation of the club, Mr. Neuner told them. "This constructive work has been extended to organization of state, municipal ity and county for the awakening of an Indifferent public conscience to a new sense of responsibility and ac tion for the protection and educa tion of the cltlren of tomorrow." He went on to discuss disarmament, saying that "The president has. as you s.l know, headM a wor!d move- ment f.r reduction of STmarrents at war and the abolition oi this barbar ease". Not a few hurry-up operations for "appendicitis" have been advised or actually done, when in fact the trouble was right Intercostal neural gia; or perhaps neuritis, as evidenced by the- appearance of herpes zoster after several hours of acute pain. Some good diagnosticians assure us that many gall-bladders are removed In the futile attempt to cure Inter costal neuralgia felt either under the right ehoulderblsde or In the region of the right lower ribs. A physician with true diagnostic acumen can apply some simple tests In any case which will pretty defi nitely distinguish such neuralgia or neuritis from actual trouble In the organ In question. I am not describ ing these tests here because they are none of the layman's business. The thing the layman should know is that not all bellyache la what It seems to be. . QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Whole Family Pound three roaches and haven't slept since. Three big onea. Our whole family enjoys better health thanks to Dr. Brady. We take lodln. turn somersaults, and for over a year haven't worried about "constipation everything fine, not a pill In the place. Our three boys have had ba nana since they were 3 months old. So you have the thanka of the whole family. (Mrs. O. H. R.) Answers Yeah, that goes for the Raffertys but no such sentiment is expressed by the Roaches. Send stamped envelope bearing your ad dress and ask for instructions for ex terminating the Roaches. Obstinate Acne Cleared Up For years I suffered with a pimply rash on my face. Doctors ,nd special ists said it was acne, but their treat ment was vlthout effect, I wrote for your advlcfc and followed It with varied and Intermittent relief but no cure. Then I began sopping my face, after thoro soap and water washing each night, with glycerin and dusting on as much powdered boric acid as would stick, leaving It on all night. In a short time my face was clear and It has stayed clear. I have told several friends of this and they have tried It with the same result. (Mrs. O. H. A.) Answer Thank you. Our readers will soon tell us whether it la effec tive. Alcoholic Parentage Can you send me a pamphlet on the effects of booze or alcohol on people that are bringing children into the world? (P. R, j.) Answer I have no such pamphlet. Alcoholism In either parent la likely to cause epilepsy, feeble -mlndedness, neurotic Ism or Insanity In offspring. A number of cases are on record where children conceived while par ents .were Intoxicated are epileptic. ic. Inhuman means of settling inter national disputes and even his ene mies must accord to him, if they are honest with their God and their own conscience, the fact that he has done more toward bringing about univer sal peace than any other ruler in the world and I might go further and say that he haa done more than all of the other rulers combined. They look upon him as a friend of hu manity. Being a Quaker, he abhors and despises the destruction of a hu man being and emphatically and fear lessly states to the world that this slaughter and economic waste must cease." In conclusion the attorney said: "The women's organisation thru out the land I believe are the moat vJ'.al factors that we now have to make a better, a cleaner and happier nation. So, standing and advocating all of the nobler things in life, I be lieve I am not Invading your prov ince by asking you to stand by our president In this time of stress." In perfecting the organization, Mrs. H. L. Nobllt waa selected aa vice chairman, and Mrs. B. O. Harding, secretary -treasurer. It waa decided that three vice chairmen should be appointed for the various districts of the county, in order to carry on the campaign. During the afternoon, Jon L. Day. United States marshal, spoke on Wo men's Hoover and Curtis c'ubs which hsve been organized in various coun ties of Oregon. BIRTHS Born to Mr. snrt Mrs. W.

Registration In Jackson county for the general election November 8 to tals 19,144 the highest in history and 1,630 more than registered for the May primary, when 17,215 were listed also a record mark. The reg istration will not be classified oy party and precinct until the middle of next week. County Assesor J. B. (Blln) Cole man, estimates between 13.500 and 14.000 votes will be cast at the No vember election. He figures there will be a 60 per cent vote, or the same as cast In the primary.. County Clerk Del 11 la Stevens Meyer, estimates that while the Democratic party has made gains for the first time In years, the Republicans ''still retain their substantial iei cf be tween two and three to one. Drift To Hoover Seen A steady drift for Hoover continues throughout the county, showing es pecially strong In thla city and Ash land, and also manifest In rural dis triots. It is heard alike on street corners, public places, and particu larly in the homes, Democratic chiefs of the county discount the drift while Republicans point to It with pride. Dozens of Medford Republicans who last spring vowed they would vote for the Bourbon nominee, have an nounced the past month that Roose velt was vague and admirable, but his promises were indefinite. The general public has also shown a de cided tendency to reject sensational campaign "hooey." Recall Flares Anew Linked with the political thought change Is a strong aversion to the proposed recall of Circuit Judge H. D. Norton. The past week the recall flared anew as a "burning Issue" la the Wlmer and Rogue River districts. Residents of these areas declare that the sentiment there is divided, and resent inferences that the are "hot beds" of recall sentiment. Some of the candidates, however, regard the recall scheme as something to "keep still about." A majority, a survey shows, are emphatic in their denun ciation of It "as an Insult to the In telligence of Jackson county." In the campaign speeches, taxes have super ceded "Injustice" as a topic. Speeches Change Trend In the homes of the city and val ley, the radio Is strong as a means of getting political Information, and the change of sentiment for Hoover In this county first came to light following his speech at Des Moines, Iowa. Roosevelt's speech Thursday night in which he "urged the estab lishment of nest ?ggs, from surplus taxes, for the aid of indigents," ap parently did not strike any responsive chords. The county campaign will take on renewed life the coming week. The Democrats headed by Attorneys Por ter J. Neff and E. E. Kelly, as orators will Invade the country districts the coming week, and will have the Young Republicans on their trail. C. E. (Pop) Gates, Independent candi date for county Judge, will speak at Lake Creek Wednesday. Rogue River Thursday and Eagle Point Friday nights. James Mott, Republican can didate for congressman will also speak In the valley this week- Senator Fred erick fftelwer, will also oome to this section. Friends of the senator have already answered the "$60,000 house canard," hurled the past week. It is a seooo house, purchased on the In stallment plan, they declare. The county clerk the coming week, will (designate the polling places and election officials. There will -he few changes from the spring primary elec tion. MANY CHILDREN NEED CLOTHING IS RELIEF WORD The relief clothinj depot supervised by Helen Carlton Is already func tioning in completing renovated quar ters upstairs in the old city hall. Friday afternoon Miss Carlton and Miss Amy Johnson of Central Point were busy arranging garments on racks and tables and the large room has the sppearsnce of a well planned store. Everything is clean and In or der and already many persons have received clothing from this depart ment of Mrs. A. E. Reames work as chairman of the women's dlv'slon of the county relief council. A work room is being prepared for use In the near future. The most pressing need and one about which Miss Carlton is much concerned is that of shoes and cloth ing for children. Friday there were only three oats In this department aid almost no other clothing for chil dren except some undergarments. Many requests for children's clothes are being made dally and the com mlttee would appreciate contribution of anything In the way of children's shoes, stockings,, blouea, dresses, suits, hats or coats. , Both Red Cross and Salvation army are cooperating and many Jackon county women will assist In the op eration of the the store's affairs. As sisting yesterday were Mrs. H. D. M" Casltey, Mrs. Helen Bullis. Mr. Dav id Rosenburg. Mrs. Robert Munter end Miss Harriett Sparrow. Service through the Medford Do mestic laundry, granted the relief project by the lat Olen Fabric. Sr., is aiding the procrresa of the shop All clothes, not In condition for sale, are cleaned and sterilized by the laundry without charge. This service was volunteered by Mr Fabric snd la much appreciated by the workers. TOie first meeting of the 1933 bud get committee, eompoied of Ben Har der, president of the nrst Nstlonal bank of this city. Henry O. Enders. merchsnt of Ashland, and Dr. Oeorge B. Deane of the West Side-Central Point district, orchardlat, membere of the county court, and the county clerK, aa secretary will be held Tues day. Harder, who served as chalrmsn M the budget committee last year. Is alsted to occupy the same position this yesr. Enders slso served a por tion of the 1931 session, when W. H. McNalr of Ashland was forced to re tire In the middle of the dellbera Hons. Dr. Desne Is particularly well fitted for the place, because of his wide knowledge of orchard and farm conditions In this section. Two mstters scheduled to come be fore the budget committee, are the levy for general roads, and the one providing for care of the poor. Laat year the general road levy waa cut to the bone, and only one or two special road levlea voted. Since then the country roads have received little consideration owing to Isck of funds, snd this hss been felt In the work shortage. Many rural residents In past yeara have depended upon coun ty road work In' the fall, to tide them over the winter. Furthermore, a num ber of country districts hsve filed applications for road Improvements but there sre no funds for the pur pose. The Indigent fund will probably be Increased, as the need of funds for care of the aged, sick, and worthy poor, continued high. It la one of the perplexing humanitarian problems facing the budget committee. One plan, unofficially advsnced that the Indigent fund levy be un chsnged. but the General Road levy Increased, on the grounds that fur nishing of employment will lessen the charity finances, and be less of a dole. The county clerk states the estl metes of expenditures for county of fices will be about the same as lsst year, with a slight reduction In the district attorney's snd county agent's offices owing to the two now being in cne court nouse, sna not paying rent In the Liberty building, where they were formerly quartered, owing to lack of space. The budget Is expected tc be com. pleted early In December. A public hearing In accordance with the law, will be held before its final approval and adoption. 4 Wall St. Report Stock Sale Averages (Copyright, 1932, standard Statistics Company) October 15 60 'SO 30 SO Ind'ls Rr's Ct's Total Today 65 S 28.3 88.9 57.2 Prev. day 55.0 27.8 87.3 68.4 Week ago 53.2 25.9 84.4 53.8 Vear ago .... 76.8 50.7 116.5 79.8 8 yeara ago 239.3 157.0 322.6 240.6 Bond Sale Averages (Copyright, 1932, Stsndard Statistics Company) October 15: 30 30 20 .
