The Depression Is getting no better fast. 0 e The Hon. J. Curtis Barnes has started a aeries of articles on the Sales Tax. Far be It from us, to try and restrict the literary efforts of J. Curtis Barnes, or anybody else. The Sales TU la so workable, that It Tsqulres no letters to the editor, speech ei to the people, or messing up by statesmen, politicians, or the fool legislature. There Is considerate talk at present about the Selective fialea Tax. By the time everybody haa selected what he wants untaxed, there will be nothing to tax, as It will concern only what the other fel low sells. The Sales Tax should oover very commodity, from arsenic to slppere. Thus It will catch every thing and everybody alike. Of course this does not mean that the salea tax ahould be so high that It Is necessary to buy the shoe store to get a pair of shoes. If more finnan haddle then garlic Is bought, there will be more tax on finnan haddle than on garlic. Even a group of col lege graduates, or a tax commission ought to be able to mentally digest that faot. There Is no use trying to discriminate between the banker's Prince Albert coat and the hired man's overalls. It's unconstitutional. J. Curtis stands for an exemption on homes. If the salee tax Is applied to all things saleable, the homes will be tax tree as they should be. And furthermore under a Sales Tax not full of subterfuges, the land tax could be abolished and still leave more money In the exchequers of the na tion, state, county, and city, than now on hand. e High-grade togs last week obscured the lsndscape, and more autos were scooting about than normal, as a chance for a wreck was excellent. ...

It will pep up the team, enthuse and solidify the Medford rooters, and make everyone in the big oity feel more at home. The Southern Pacific has also done its bit. A rate of $850 for the round trip, with atop-over privileges until the following Monday, make motor travel under prevailing weather conditions a waste of money and time. Here ia aafe, warm and comfortable transportation si the rate of a cent a mile. It has motor transportation from every angle, including oash outlay, beaten to a frazzle. The Crater club deserves grateful thanks, the Southern Pa cific, enthusiastic support. We would like to see a special car or two, which now appears the maximum, extended by Medford rooters to A SPECIAL TRAIN. Let's show the state metropolis that win, lose or draw, Med ford is always 100 percent behind its team ! Pass the 20th IJOW many people know there is a 20th amendment up for ratfication. To date 19 states have ratified, and the necessary 17 more, are expected to do so. Bather too bad, this amendment is not in force at the present time. Under its provisions, the 73d congress elected two weeks ago would assemble January 3d, instead of next December, 11 months later. ' The lame duck congress which will convene next month, would be given what lame duck congresses deserve short shrift. President-elect Roosevelt would assume office, two months instead of four months after his election. All of which would be decidedly to the good, Nothing could more strikingly demonstrate the essential conservatism of this country, than the retention of this archaic procedure, which was suited to stage coach days, but went out with the invention of the steam engine. The Oregon legislature can contribute its bit to good' govern ment by ratifying this amendment at its coming session. F.R. Will Need Time A CCOEDINQ to our information, apparently authentio, Presi dent Hoover and Secretary Stimson, were willing to resign- and by appointing Governor Roosevelt in the latter 'g place, put the president-elect in power, four months before bis sched uled inauguration. Governor Roosevelt, however, declined the invitation with thanks. In the first place he is Governor of New York, and has muoh to do before his successor takes over the reins at Albany. In the second place, he wants to go slow, and welcomes a breath ing space of four months, during which he can iron out certain internal difficulties in his party, and perfect his organization. QUCH action is no doubt the better part of wisdom. It will take all Governor Roosevelt has in political adroitness and taot to harmonize the two conflicting elements in his party. There is the AI Smith-McAdoo feud for example, there is the irrepressible conflict between Joe Robinson and Huey Long, there is the armed neutrality, only adhered to during the cam paign, between such sworn enemies as Carter Glass and William Randolph Hearst. Senator Norris also represents a problem, for his political theories, harmonize with those of Owen D. Young, like fire and water, DRESIDENT Roosevelt will desire to retain the support of all of these men, and the political power they represent, but it will require nothing less than political genius to do so. There is this to be said for Governor Roosevelt however, he Is a very skillful politician, and is probably better fitted to accomplish such a task than any other leader in his party. But it will take careful planning and great patience, and under conditions which prevail at present, politically and eco nomically, we agree with fhe governor, four months will not be too much time. Communications Temperance Not Prohibition. To the Editor: Frank Jenkins' comment In the Mall Tribune of November 15 In re gard to prohibition was very Inter esting. I fully agree with him that temperance (not prohibition) Is a setf-dleclpUne that each good citlsen should Impose upon himself. I believe that aU the liquors should be under absolute) government con trol with a government label on each bottle, and should be sold cheap enough to undersell the bootleggers. A fraction of the profit derived from It should go to a fund to teach moderation In uetng liquor, wine or beer. The churches, the schools, the movies, and all lodges and clubs are good places to teach people. Those abusing the privilege and making themeelvea a menace or nuis ance should be dealt with all the rigors of the law. whether on the highways or elsewhere, and the crime punishable by either federal, state) or local laws. The nam of aach violator ahould be posted In conspicuous places and also printed In the papers of their communities. Tes, let Uncle Sam get all the bene fit, and not the doctors, the drug gists or tha bootleggers. I still remember when a little nip of brandy would take the chill off our spines In the muddy trenches of France. Tours for temperance, but not pro hibition. ANDRR CHOMSL. Central Point, November 30.

THE WEAK HEART COMPLEX ' ' A boy eight years old, 48 Inches tall, weighing 60 pound which is the normal height for a boy of that age, and a pound or two to the good In weight was exposed to a so - called school m e d leal Inspec tlon or health examination. He brought home one of these deadly roport forms on which the anxious (par ents found re corded in the blank space after the printed word Heart the written word Murmur. Now I contend, In the name of health, that the so-called health or educational authorities who sanction or promote this school medical in spection business are doing harm. At the mm time X recognize that a properly conducted periodic physical examination of ALL the pupils n any grade school or high school Is a valuable thing for the health of the few pupils who are found suffering with a remediable defect or disease. I do not blleve the expense of this ihould be borne by the public or that It ahould be charged against the public funds. The coat of such med ical service should be paid by those who ask for It or accept It, Just as provisions, clothing or shelter Is. For instance, the physical examin ation of any large class of high school pupils will usually reveal one or two In a hundred who have Incipient pulmonary tuberculosis; The exam ination Includes not only the regu lar chest examination but also care fully applied akin tuberculin tests, and finally x-ray pictures of the lungs of all pupils vrho react posi tively to the tuberculin test. This Is expensive work, and It Is unjust to saddle the expense on the commun ity, unless the pupil's parents sre indigent and dependent on the pub lic relief agencies for support. The child whose report bore the ominous word "murmur" attended a circus with his mother. A cannon was to be fired in the course of the performance. The boy told his moth er, as she writes, that he couldnt stand the noise because his heart was hurting. Mother put her arm around him and, sure enough, she could feel his heart pounding wildly. She says FOR SANTA GLAUS Old 8anta, fresh from the frozen north wfth frost In his whiskers, will make his debut In Medford next Saturday and southern Oregon peo ple, full of turkey and happy with the Democratic -victory, will Joyous ly welcome him with a brilliant Christmas opening Jubilee. Med ford's streets will be lighted In true holiday colors, lamp posts will be festooned with fir and red berries, colorful store and window displays will greet the crowds that turn out to usher In the Christmas shopping season. Next Saturday night will be a busy one in Medford I A holiday at mosphere will decend upon this city and thrifty shoppers will be tempt ed to buy countless gifts which will be shown In Medford shops and win dows. Never before have prices been so low or selections so complete. This season the gift purchased will make a moderate budget go a long way and Medford business men are determined to give the greatest val ue for the gift dollar that has ever been offered Rogue River Valley peo ple. Elaborate plans are being perfected by the Retail Merchants associa tion of Vila city, and John Moffatt. president of that organization, has carefully selected the following com mittees to handle the many details of this year's Medford Christmas rjning.' window decorations : Clarence Meeker, chairman; Elmer Wilson and I.

Brady, M. D. any sort of gun or loud noise excites him so. Other boys of his age thrill at the bang of a gun. But he cant stand It, He gets plenty of sleep, on a screened open air porch. His ap petite is all right. He la quite an active boy. But You see, the boy has been made heart conscious. His parents are evidently willing to take the child's 'weak heart" for granted. Some ob scure doctor Imagined he heard a "murmur" when he listened for a moment to the boy's heart. That tore It. Any physician who perpetrates such a trick Is too Incompetent to serve even as a school medlcsl Inspector. If he believes the boy has heart dis ease or any other serious trouble it ts his duty as a physician to say o. When he resorts to this notorious hedging trick of the quacks he merely inoculates a few people with the weak. heart complex. If this boy actually has heart dis ease, his -abnormal scnstlvlty to loud noises has nothing whatever to do with It. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Don't Be So Particular. Our only child Is a 7-year-old girl.

C Barnes Explains Details of His Proposal to Lighten Tax Burden on Workers ARTICLE III. Shelter Tax Exemption and the Parmer. In Articles I and II, I pointed out how the present, state, county and school taxee Imposed on shelter value In a man's home, carrying with Its excess Interest charges, was a heavy burden on the back of the working man. It la Just as heavy and unjust a burden on the back of the farmer. One hundred and fifty years ago, Adam Smith wrote his four canons of taxation. Here I will state the iiret one, as It la the most Import ant: "THE SUBJECTS OF EVERY STATE OUOHT TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARD THE SUPPORT OF HIS GOVERN MENT AS NEARLY, AS POSSIBLE IN PROPORTION TO THE REVENUE THEY RESPECTIVELY ENJOY UN DER THE PROTECTION OF THE STATE." One economist, writing on taxation, In place of the word "enjoy" substi tutes the phrase "can save." How much can the average farmer "save" annually? If he cannot sell his stir plus products at a price above the coat of production he can "save" nothing and has no ability to pay taxes, and his land should not he taxed. When the farmer cannot sell his surplus at something above the coat of production, then the sooner he sells the surplus land on which these surpluses are produced the bet ter off he will be. If land has ceased to have value for the purpose of pro ducing surpluses on, for what use could land be put that would give it a value? Daniel Webster said, "Land Is the sanctuary of man; not ta place to grow rich on, but where he has a better chance to develop courage, honor and the oldest, moat becoming virtues, It Is a place where a poor man with six children and not a dollar In his pocket can have a wide roof over his head, a warm fire and food three times a day In abundance, without asking credit for It. His sons are less liable to grow up to be cheap sports, rowdies, gamblers and gangsters." This was written 100 years ago, when the taxee on a considerable estate could be paid with a few coon skins. If shelter value on farm units were now tax exempt, land would again become a place of refuge for the unemployed worker during peri ods of depression: that Is, times when the ability of the workers to buy back the product of their labor la out of balance. BEFORE LEAGUE (Continued from Page One) ptjace obligations, asserted that the Japanese army had acted at all times only in self-defense, and declared China la a disorganized state with out responsible government. But he expressed deep Indignation when his turn came to speak, particu larly at the last statement. Japs Lack Argument. "The use of such language In re ferring to my country, an original member of this League of Nations," he said, "not only reflects a lack of propriety, but also betrays a sense of hopelessness to find a really sound argument for the Japanese case.1 Dr. Koo declared that Japan, "while never ceasing to complain to the world of a disgruntled China, per sistently pursues a policy of prevent ing unification." There evidently la a sense of ap prehension, he continued, "that United China would be a blow to her policy of expansion, her dream of world conquest.' Hit and Run Death Confessed By Boy DALLAS.

Doctors Give Creosote ' For Dangerous Coughs For many years our best doctors have, prescribed creosote in some form foe coughs, colds snd bronchitis, knowing how dangerous it ia to let them bang on. Creomulsion with creosote and six other highly important medicinal ele ments, quickly snd effectively stops all coughs and colds that otherwise might lead to serious trouble. Creomulsion is powerful In the treaty ment of all colds snd coughs no matter how long standing, yet it is absolutely harmless and is pleasant and easy to take.

Tel. 831 I think me have gone a little stray as to the best use. of land. I think we have over-extended lte use In the raising of surpluses and at the same time we have over-estimated the farmer's ability to -pay ever Increas ing governmental expenses. Ws have not emphasised enough Its Import ance as a "sanctuary of man." Nor have we tried to encourage the use of land for this purposs. Ths first step In this direction Is to exempt shelter value In a farm unit from state, county and school taxes. What would the Immediate effect of such legislation be? How would It affect the prosperity of the present owners of land? Would it tend to make land values higher or lower? What effect would It have on Indus trythe lumber Industry, the build ing Industry, light and power, mer cantile business? Would It tend to make the wheels go round a little faster or slower? Would a $1500 shelter tax exemption, with a two per cent general sales tax to offset It, bring favorable comment from the press of the United States or unfav orable comment? One thing I as sure you, Oregon would be on the front page ol every newspaper In the United States If this law was passed at the next session of our legisla ture. Do we want a million dollars worth of free advertising? Do we want to sell Oregon7 Do we want to show the way? Oregon ahould be interested In this shelter tax exemp tion measure to promote land settle ment and home development more than any other state In the union. First, because Its climate, water pow er, natural resources, Irrigation and cheap land Is especially adapted to suo-division, land settlement and In dustrial development. Second, Ore gon snouid especlslly be Interested In home development, not onlv in Its own state, but In other states as well, because one of her principal ln- ausines is the manufacture of lum ber, which Is the chief material go ing Into home construction. "Shel ter Tax Exemption and the Farmer" will be continued In the next article. J. C. BARNES. Correction: On checking over Ar ticle I, I find an error. The two per cent sales tax would not be on all expenditures. It would be on all expenditures except the $300 spent for shelter requirements. It should read. "Two per cent on $800 ts $18. .Which Is the heavier burden, $60 collected In a lump sum as taxes or $18 collected a few cents at a time?"
