PA'QE TEN SIEDFOHP MSIE TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBEB 27, 1932. I OF Jno. W. Johnson of Mcdford in Public Statement Pleads for Support of Hoover in Time of Economic Crisis To the Editor: The prosperity, happiiics and well Doing of the American people 1 of more Importance at thlif time than party loyalty or partisan prejudice. The vital necessity of the moment 1 to keep In motion the plans and forces of economic reconstruction which fcuve so carefully and painstakingly been put Into action the past few Biontlia. The foundation upon which the gt rue tu re of a stable financial recovery baa been completed and the crisis that threatened the very existence of our economic life la now astern. The tnefs and shoals of destruction through which our ship of state h&e lately passed are giving way to more open seas. Brightening akles bold promise of better days ahead and ober thought Is taking hold In the American voter's mind aa to the Im portance of our coming election. The cry to change our course and to throw the pilot to the sharks; the bewilderment and confusion engen dered by fear and discouragement are giving ground to more sober and sensible meditation. People are doubt- big the wisdom or voting merely for t change, a change that may again threaten our national welfare: a change that may destroy the plans and economic forces that have been put In motion to restore our national prosperity and material wolfare. Many dangers still lay tn the path of our forward progress which will require the cool hend and steady hand of ex perienced leademh lp to guide us surely through. It would seem little less than a national calamity to. exchange the feu 1 ding hand of experience for the faltering uncertainty of a promised Hew deal that carries no definite plan OT hope of accomplishment. We cannot afford to give over to tnere change and chance, the leader ship and wisdom that has guided the welfare of our great country through fhe crisis now behind us. History recording the achievements Of our great leaders of the past, paints lis a vivid picture of the tragic strug gle to- total n the guidance of the leadership so necessary to bring peace and prosperity out of misery and dis couragement then engulfing the na tion. To each of Us la accorded the privi lege of a voice In our national pro gress. Our ballot Is valuable as an expression of our confidence or dis approval. Wo cannot wisely vote for mere change. Wo cannot afford to xely upon promises that are not ac companied by a definite plan of ac complishment or a reasonable hope of fulfillment. It would be a very poor brand of Appreciation for the American people to discredit President Hoover In the yes of the world and reward his earnest struggle In our nation's be half by electing In his place a man of questionable ability who has re- ; aorted to the woes of a world-wide depression, unfair criticism and vain promt sos on a vehicle to ride to the highest office our people can bestow. We can til afford to risk the de struction of the structure that la well on tho way to bridge the chasm Into Which we so nearly toppled. It is only right and fair; It la only good American sportsmanship to allow our Very able president to finish the tructure of economic recovery he has ao earnestly endeavored to build In the past few years. To President Hoover we should sub mit our confidence and our vote. In ao doing I believe, as millions of others, that the dcstlnlet of our great country are In able hands and the welfare and happiness of our people are of his mind and heart. JNO, W. JOHNSON. Lt.

Pomona Grange met in Central Point Grange hall for regular quar terly meeting Saturday, October 22, which was a particularly Interesting meeting. Officers were elected for a two-year term and much business disposed of in record time, although some of the measures brought forth considerable Interesting discussion. Ross Kline was elected master. The Grange voiced Its approval of Gov. Julius Meier In his fearless atti tude In tax reduction and his plan of rigid economy In every department of higher education. The Grange also expressed approval of a plan to reduce the number of members In the House of Representa tives, believing that fewer numbers would be more efficient and economi cal, they favor a constitutional amend ment to give one representative for each 1,000,000 of population or ma jor fraction thereof, but no state to have less than two representatives. They favor reducing materially the salaries of all state officers commen surate with the depressed times. A measure favoring the appointment of a committee to co-operate with like committees from each subordinate Grange to carry out a strenuous cam paign for an exclusive use of home grown products whenever possible. was nzougnt out mat there are fine herds of fat beef In the county for which there Is no marklt and quantities of produce on the farms, yet tons of beef and produce are ship ped into the valley by large packing concerns, wholesalers and chain stores from outside points and sold to the local trade in competition with local grown stuff, or rather without even allowing local grown stuff to com A member of the Grange placed a draft of a petition which petitions the Jackson county court and budget committee to reduce the 1933 tax budget below the preceding budget, and asked for an expression of the ; Pomona Grange.

HELP WANTED Oregon citizens are on the brink of ruin, facing the bitter prospect of losing properties by tax confiscation. With a high-powered taxing machine, designed for more than the traffic will stand, the tax boosters have speeded along, without effective control. They are now on the edge of the ditch. . . t, . Talk of tux strikes is heard, but far more serious is the utter inability of property owners to pay their taxes. Many governmental units, by reason of tax delinquencies, are on the verge of bankruptcy. Fortunately, the opportunity is at hand for clear thinking citizens to take control and direct a safer course. Two constructive measures now on the ballot will insure efficient driving of the tax machine and a slower gait. These measures embody the improved Oregon Plan of tax and debt supervision and control the best plan ever presented in any state. They will secure very substantial reductions in the prop erty tax load and thereby promote better government. They will definitely separate tax levying from tax spending powers. ' They will provide effective limitations and control of .taxes and indebtedness, but positively will not disturb the existing 6 limitation nor lift the lid of any debt restriction now fixed by constitutional provision. Tliey will preserve the true substance of home rule in taxation, distinguished from the empty form of that great prin ciple as it has been perverted by tax boosters to their own selfish purposes. Voters, the appeal is to you to help yourselves and your fellow citizens, to save Oregon property owners from impend ing ruin and your governments from fiscal chaos by voting: Tax and Debt Control Constitutional Amendment 318 X Yea Tax Supervising and Conservation Bill 320 X Yes OREGON TAXPAYERS EQUALIZATION and CONSERVATION LEAGUE JAMES E.
