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.

Steady Drift To Hoover
Is Noted In All Areas.
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

istration will not be classified oy

of next week.

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

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.
