MEDFORD MAP: TRD3UNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6. 1932. Citizens Voice Opinions on Men and Measures As Vote Nears PAGE SEC Not Against Milk. To th Editor: With jour usual fairness and Im partiality I am requesting in favor at publlablng the following communi cation: In an effort to defeat ma aa a candldata for councilman from tba third ward, the false report la being circulated that Z am oppoaed to the preaent city milk ordinance. I have never atated that I waa oppoaed to auch an ordinance and the reporta to the contrary are part and parcel ef the apparently organised effort to prevent my election to the city coun cil. I further wish to make absolutely dear to the voters of the third ward that my candidacy for the position of councilman has not been identified with the policies or campaign of any other candidate for any other office. Z am offering my services to the cltl- na residing In the third ward witn the full realisation that there la no remuneration attached to auch an office. My opponent, Mr. Kroechel, apparently Is not aware of this fact for either ha. or his backer nave aeen fit to apend a considerable sum In advertising to further hla candi dacy. The atrangenesa of his over whelming desire for office la further emphasised when It la known that he haa established an office in rort land and apparently Intends to make that city hla home. In the event of Mr. Kroschel's elec tlon and later removal from the city the mayor and council would name hla successor. Maybe that'a the Idea behind the battle against me. I assure the voters that I have no connection, whatsoever, with any so called "rings" which may call for special privileges and could not be Influenced to endorse any proposition which I consider against the best in terest of the people of my ward and cltv. I will pledge myself to sup' port and work for any movement for the advancement of tnia city, ana business man of many years' expe rience, believe myself thoroughly qualified to fill the office I am seek ing. WAITEK a,. KUWlii ! For "Pop," Jennings and Wilson, i To Editor. Neighbors and Prlends I have been an Interested reader of all aorta of communications, editorial and otherwise, and aa none express certain Ideas clearly that I think should be heard, I wtU try, Editor willing to add to the din. First, let me say I am under no obligations to anyone except my Maker. My name will be "on rue" only, xor u reason that If I am a man writing, I do not wish to be troubled with any personal encounters, or If I am woman, I do not wish to hear per sonal opinions of myself expressed too freely. In regard to repeal of the state act for prohibition enforcement Why do that aa long aa the national act la In force? It Is not fair to ex pect Uncle bam to do all our house cleaning. Besides, the amount con gress appropriate 'or federal enforce ment la Inadequate In these times when so large a par cent of our peo ple have gone "hog wild" on the Idea of "personal liberty" as they see It, and arc In revolt of all law that doea not please tllem individually. If the right way to temperance haa not been found, let the aearch go on. But If wa must bav a new house, why. In all that Is reasonable, should we tear the old one down completely before any rebuilding plan la decided on, thus leaving tha family out In the rain with leas than halt a blanket for protection. I have followed closely all pro posals for reform or regulation or control of liquor use, cut none, aa yet, are anything but those that have been tried and found wanting. . Local option? No, that was no good tiled It for years. It let the rain right through. Do aa Canada? Read up on tha honest to goodness govern ment reports on that and you will find It no good. Canada haa a , 000,000.444 shortage of government funds has blind pigs, speakeasies and all tha rest of It. Find a real work ing plan for solving this problem be fore you vote to tear down the bit of protection we already have. ( Expensive and makes taxes high to enforce preaent laws? Sure but sup. pea each and all cttlaena try per sonal law enforcement for .a while and see how quickly expenses will go down. Can't do without your bootleg? Pshaw I Tou know better than that. A lot of them are doing without now that they have not money to buy with. And the boot leggers of this community are feeling tha pinch greatly. Cut it out and a lot of zftr! can be put to better use. Enough of this from me, or some wtll get tha Idea I am a radi cal and can not listen to reason. Now Please Mr. Editor, be patient I am going to scratch my usual ticket and write Ralph Jennings' name on with an "X" In front of it. And if tha reasonable minds of Jack son county will figure ss I do that this Is no time to be putting an In axperlenced man In hla very difficult position, they will help put our sher iff where he should have been at the srlmartea. Sollt un the vote too much and let a wrong man be elected? I Any man other than our present sheriff la the wrong one this time, and If the reasonable voters will pull together for once, we can remedy the mistake already made. One mora May I, Mr. Ruhl Thanks 1 Tou speak of tha expense to the county In casa the recall of Mr. Norton la followed up. Right as rain. And some of theae objectors to Jilgrt taxes better be thinking about It. Besides, why recall him? For the life of me I can learn of no reason for doing so. Can't get even a, look at one of the recall petitions, or find any reason given mare than a flimsy grouch. Another thing are the old voters remembering and telling newer voters how Mr. rhl caused our little grow ing town thousands of dollara ex pense In law aults over a period or years because ha did not want to abide by tha rule of majority vote for paving on atresia ha happened to be overloaded on with unimproved lota? Think that over and look up city records If you think I am wrong in deciding It la not beet to trust our county business for alx years to I one who hsa no res) community wel- fare Interests In his mind. Will I support Fop dates? Tou I bstl I know what kind of a mayor he was. And Mr. Alfc.-d and Mr. Samuels, who have proven their worth and know their business. And Mr. Wilson la making a good mayor- keep him I AMERICAN CITIZEN. (Name on file). Favors Oleo Tax To the Editor: The Rogue River Valley Dairy aa. soclatlon Intends to take Issue wlVi your recommendations to the voters to vote "no" on the oleomargarine tax bill In your editorial on October 31, and It falls to my lot to defend tha -dairy associations It mouth piece. You state that the tax on oleo margarine would not Increase the consumption of butter, Tha state of Washington has a IB-cent tax on It and the report la that It has Increas ed the consumption of butter by about six million pounds a year. What has helped the state of Wash ington will help Oregon. Why net reduce the consumption of this Imported stuff so called but ter substitutes? Why not help out and put on an educational campaign and tell the consuming public that can't afford to buy butter that It takes five pounds of oleomargarine to equal one pound of butter In food value? Why pay for all of this extra filler to fool their stomachs? Why not also tell the publlo Viat can't afford to buy butter what per cent profit the dairyman gets and what per oent proflta creameries take, and what the dealera make, and espe ctally explain what per cent profit the dairyman geta that delivers whole milk to the creameries to retail our milk and cream at what per cent profits? Please explain the proflta that the foreign butter substitutes, powerful tropical oil corporations, and what taxes they pa; In the state of Ore gon, and what taxes do the dairy men pay? The chamber of commerce of Oranta Pass has unanimously gone on record a endorsing this tax on oleomargarine to help the dairy ln dustry of Its county. What has the city of Medford done for Jackson county dairy Interests and how did you tell them to vote? Ia It not a fact that the dairying industry la one of the leading indus tries of Jackson county at tha pres ent time and wtll Increase year by year aa It la the only Industry that a person following the agricultural line can get by on, and w,hy not pro tect It from tropical oil Interests? Ia It not a fact that the little or chard grower la doomed unless there 1 some miracle happens to Improve the market for him? Well, why not advocate that some big foreign cor poration Import Inferior tropical fruit and place It on the market here at a much less price than the orch ardlst can sell at? Thle would prove a great boon to the poor classes that .have a hard time to keep body and soul to gather and would clear up our delinquent taxes. I could go on and write page but space and time forbid. The dairy association would much rather de bate the question. W. N. CARL, Chairman. (Wild Bill from the Applcgate Coun try). The Devil In Liquid Form. To the Editor: , Says Evangeline Booth (quoted by Wonderful Word) : "Drink haa drain ed more blood, hung more crepe, sold more homes, plunged more people Into bankruptcy, armed mors villains. slain more children, anapped more wedding rings, defiled more Innocence, blinded more eyes, twisted more limbs, dethroned more resson, wrecked more manhood, dishonored more woman hood, broken more heart, blasted more lives, driven more to suicide, and dug more graves, than any othsr poisoned scourge that ever awept its death-dealing waves across the world." And yet many want to repeal our constitutional amsndment that makes traffic In the curse Illegal in this country. THE PENTECOSTAL EVANGEL, By O. D. Colbaugh. Light Wlnrs and Beer. To the Editor: On the theory that permitting light wines and beer will make law en forcement easier, let's allow some more of the bankers to do a little more embeaillng. The higher ups will make the amount good to the Insurance companlea and depositors. Nobody hurt, not even the man that does the embesallng. Let the holdup man do a little robbing. It will help. Let the chil dren have a few cigarette. They won't hurt anything. Let the mar ried man spend an occasional even ing with a lady friend. Who would object? Let mother step out now and then, surely no harm done. Let the liar He a bit; that's not perjury, even In court. Olve the poor fellow a little dope not much. Let the speeder speed VOTE 40 X NOVEMBER 8 George W. Porter I i&L A resident of Jackson Oounty for 41 years, arid owner of Porter Lumber Co. for nine years, Mr. Porter is widely known as a level-headed, successful business man and a Progressive Oitlsenl on certain days. On killed or shot, mlstsken for a bear or deer, wont be missed. Absolutely the best wey I to let the wet have hi wet, the thief hi poll, the adulterer hi desire, the mother her fling, the boy his cigar ette, the girl her petting parties, and everybody their Jbzk dances. No mora crime, for where there 1 no law there 1 no crime. We could convert the penitentiaries into breweries, the Jails into dance halls. The judges could retire, the lawyers take dry land homesteads while the policemen would only be needed In case of overtealous out bursts at prayer meetings. Everybody would be perfectly con tented. It's our nature to stop cry ing whsn we get our wish. Life would be one uninterrupted serene way of happiness. A I once heard: "This Is a great country." Respectfully. OEO. RENKER, Central Point, Or. November A. "Lest We Forget." To the Editor: The following article, under the heading "Tehl Declared Foe of Labor by Local Unions Only Employer In Medford Ever Placed on Unfair List Low Wages Paid on Contracts," ap peared in a local paper on Saturday, November I, 1930. Since that time, the actions and utterances of Mr. Fchl have proven his enmity to 'organised labor. The article follows: "Frank Applcgate. secretary of the Medford Central Labor council today issued the following statement, plac ing organized labor in Medford aa opposed to the election of Earl Febl a mayor. Mr. Applegate, well known In Jackson county, took a prominent part In the meeting of the State Fed eration of Labor In this city a few weeks ago, and was Influential in securing It for Medford: "Medford, Oregon, "Nov. 1. 1930. "At a meeting of tha Medford Cen tral Labor union, held In March of 1930, Mr. Fehl was declared on the unfair list as being unfair to or ganized labor on account of the low wages paid on the Holly theater. On all subsequent work, up to this time, he haa not employed union labor. "Mr. Fehl la the only Medford em ployer on the unfair list of the Med ford Central Labor Union. "FRANK APPLEOATB. Secretary of Medford Central Labor Union." (Nam on File) Beer Pie Flayed. To the Editor: In yesterday's Issue of your paper there appears a paid advertisement of the Oregon hop growers, making a plea for Willamette valley hops. From first to last the Willamette val ley hop Industry has been In the hands of British syndicate. They own thousands of acres of hop land. Plenty of complaint about the treat ment by that syndicate may be heard among those who till that land. Prom first to last those hopes have gone to make beer In England. 80 that the conditions complained of reflect on beer drinking England, rather than on America. Ads like that are among the manifold indica tions as to where some of the grease Is coming from for the beer wagon that rumbles across America In this campaign. Voting 313, as the . advertisement advises, doea not do away with the 18th amendment and whatever trou ble the federal enforcement officers mlgM havu, Hhould that carry, they would certainly not permit those Eng lishmen to open breweries In Oregon. E. ArOLDENBURO. Medford, Nov. 5. Illumining the Dark! To the Editor: Thanks for your editorial, "The Real National Issue," appearing in your paper of November 1. Good as It Is In general, It Is, nevertheless, hard to refrain from another crash at your column against what appears to be one of Its weak points. You believe Hoover more capable than P. D. In keeping the "American sys tem" pure and undcflled. Perhaps so. If sitting tight will preserve It, H. H. perhaps has no peer. But will It prevent the ship from going under? The following factors tend to answer In the negative. A ' little obscure teallty: This World In which we live, or rather vegetate, la a changing one. To stand still is suicidal. As the Hi bernian has observed, "a man has to run like hell to stay where he la." It applies also to his Institutions. Three social Inventions must change in part, else go down as a whole. Transformation must be In step with economically changed conditions or they will go boom. They are grow ing and dying things and are gov erned by the .cosmlo law of the In stability of the Heterogeneous exactly In the same way as other complex structures. To make them fit or serve society as a whole equally (who Republican Nominee fov Representative 19th Dlst. Mr. Porter is well qualified to repre sent your interests in Salem In the State Legislature.

When you say that the only real Issue lies between the capital ists and the co-operative system, you prove that you have an exceptionally clear understanding of the forces that are at work and frankness most admirable. Reference might be made to Ger many, Italy and other countries where the capitalistic system has been threatened, to see how all other fac tions united and petty differences were forgotten to defeat the co-operative system. In our fair land a small minority aa yet grasped the truth that you stated so accurately However, an awakening is Inevitable and It may be that this depression shall prove to be a means of showing the Ameri can people what the real problem that confronts this generation Is. By-the-way, would like to say we hope that friend. Arthur Brisbane, will be sufficiently recovered from political B.

Enrlght Endorses Brtggs. To the Editor: I have been asked for my opinion In regard to the three candidates PROTECT The Dairy Industry One of Southern Oregon's greatest sources of income. Over $1 ,000,000 per year derived from dairy pro ducts produced right here in Jackson county. Nearly all of this money. is spent at home. Vote 306-X YES Oleomargarine Tax Bill Thl adv. paid for by ths following: Charles A. Wing; Heath's Drug Store; Hnbbsrd Bros.; K. O. Brown; Monarch Seed Peed Co.; Re Cafe; Lamport; Cha. W. Austin. running for the office of district at torney for Jackson county. I have no hesitancy In stating my position in regard to the matter. In my opinion Bill Brlggs Is by far the best qualified man running for the position and for many rea sons. He has been in public life enough to know what the people of his county want; he Is a member In good standing In the Bar Association; neither of the other men are, one having resigned and the other being far back In htsdues; his court room record Is better than either of the others; he does not carry personal feelings Into the court room; he hon estly won the Republican nomination for the office by carrying his cam paign to the people; he Is a native son of Oregon; he beat me by a small majority for the nomination; we are both Republicans and he beat me fair and square and I could not do otherwise than throw my support to him. I am very glad to endorse Mr. Brlggs for the position and trust that my friends who supported me in the primary Will think seriously before voting for either of the other candi dates. In the primary election Mr. Cod ding received about 1400 votes, where as Mr. Brlggs and I divided, almost equally, approximately 6800 votes. I hope Mr. Brlggs receives the entire 6500 this fall. I do not consider the Independent candidate as being in the race. T. J. ENRIGHT. Medford, Nov. 6. Error Admitted To the Editor: We note that in your recommenda tions tovoters on measures to be vot ed on next Tuesday an adverse report on several of the measures sponsored by the Oregon State grange. We are not opposed to your differ ence of opinion or your desire to express It, but we are very much op posed to the misrepresentation of facts which we claim . was done in regard to the Income tax and power bills. You leave the impression that a single person with an Income of more than $10.00 would pay an Income tax. This Is not true. Unlike the in come tax this plan makes the exemp tion in the' tax to be paid. For example a single man's tax on an Income of 2000 would be one per cent on the first 1000 and two per cent on the second, or a total of (30. Deducting the exemption -of 110.00 would leave a balance of $30 to -be paid. The purpose of the bill Is to more equally distribute the tax burden and further reduce property tax. Your claims regarding the power bill are far from correct. An enabling act mtvt be passed by the leglslatue before this bill could become effective even after It was ap proved by the people. The only difference between the bill and the one In force at present la that this one gives both the state and any subdivision the right to en gage la electrical enterprises. The bill passed two years ago pre vents creating a- district within a district. Thus If the state of Oregon contracted for the power generated oy the proposed federal plant la the Columbia river this would prevent the organizing of other district within ttv state. The prime object of the bill la to allow the state to use this power shoull the federal government devel op It. The clause regarding bonds la in cluded la the power bill passed two years ago but we have failed to note when the state has been plunged In to debt. Jackson County Grange Council. A. C.

Two year ago every business msn but on signed the peti tion for an open river. Now all but one or two of that same group are In favor of a closed river, w ngure tht every fish caught In the Rogue by sportsmen Is worth S10 to Oold Beach. Thla year, with canneries paying only a cent and a half a pound for fish, many of th commercial flahermen didn't make a living. Plfurea given out by the cannery show the average fisherman msda only 3S JO a month. And of th 114 men on the river thla year during th commercial fishing season only 34 were Gold Beach flahermen.

Sam uels, and business men of th city, are backing bun In bis candidacy for tha office of olty treasurer, and assuring him of their most loyal sup port. They are recommending him to the voters of Medford aa the right man for the Job. eH has proved hi abil ity a an official during the two year he his been city treasurer of Medford, and bss been very courte ous and efficient In exercising the duties of the offlcs, extending many favors to the people of Medford. The city water commission com plimented Mr. Samuels for the man ner in which he handled the collec tion of the water rentals during the past year. There were many diffi cult problems arising, but they were all handled In a manner satisfactory to the city water commission. When an official handle the busi ness of the office In such a satis factory manner aa Mr. Samuels has done, we can see no reason for mak ing a change at this time and the city going to the unnecessary ex pense of educating another man for the Job. Mr. Samuels la well and favorably known, not only In the city but throughout the valley, as he waa a teacher In the public schools at one time. He has been a resident and tax payer of Medford for more than 20 years.. and during that entire time haa been actively engaged In office and clerical work. For many yeare he was book-keeper and office man ager for J. A. Perry, vice president of the Medford National bank, who was president and general manager of the Rogue River Fruit Associa tion at that time. Mr. Perry recommends Mr. Sam uels aa being a very capable and re liable office man. Prior to this, he acted in th same capacity for A. 8. Bllton, collector for tha California Oregon Power company, who at that time was manager and publisher of the Medford Mall, now the Mall Trlbune.- Mr. Bllton also recommend Mr. Samuels very highly and gladly en dorses hla candidacy for city treasur er. W hope the voters of Medford will expreaa their apprecaltlon of Mr. Samuels' efficient service durirJ the paat two years, by giving him their vote on Tuesday, November 8.
