Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
HERB Is a bit of philosophy of
fered to this writer yesterday:
"Keep your face turned toward the
sun, and the shadows will fall BE
HIND you."
THAT is to say look at the BRIGHT
side of life and thus keep your
self from becoming discouraged by
the shadows
It Is pretty good philosophy.
f T IS good philosophy, that Is, If you
. 1 atrlng with the optimists.
If you lean toward the pessimists, It
Isn't so good.
HERE Is an exceedingly sound
statement mode to this writer a
while back by an Intelligent and pro
gressive business man:
"In this country, particularly, and
throughout the world In general,
optimism rules In GOOD times and
pessimism prevails In BAD times.
"Exactly the opposite OUGHT to be
true. The pessimists ought to be
more prominent In good times and
the optimists in bad times."
WHT?
Well, the trouble with us, you
see. Is that in good times, when every
thing Is lovely and the goose Is hang
ing high, we get to thinking that
such conditions will exist ALWAYS.
Bo we go ahead and expand our
business too rapidly. We take on too
many expenses. Thus, In the course
of time, over-production appears, and
then we are In trouble.
IN BAD TIMES, we lose all our opti
mism and Just simply CANT see
anything good ahesd. Having lost
our optimism, we are Inclined to lose
our courage, for courage and a cer
tain measure of optimism must go
hand in hand.
Lacking courage, we haven't the ea.
paclty to pull ourselves out of de
pressions, and so hard times last
longer than they should.
A LITTLE more pessimism In good
times could prevent over-expansion
and over-production', and a
little more optimism In bad times
would put more stiffening in our
backs and make, it easier to get out
from under our troubles.
Maybe there ought to be a law. We
might suggest It to the Incoming legis
lature. '
HERE Is some more philosophy,
proffered yesterday by a friend
who, of course, was kidding, but kept
a perfectly straight face:
"The trouble with this civilization
of ours Is that It la too complex. We
ought to be living In the tropics,
, wearing a gee atrlng for clothing and
' eating bananas.
"Then we wouldn't have so much to
worry sbout."
fRUE enough.
1 But what has been the cause of
most of the progress that has been
achieved In thla world?
Why. somebody's worrying, of
course. If nobody had ever worried
about anything, or bothered about
anything, or WANTED anything bet
ter than he had, we still WOULD be
living In the tropics, wearing a gee
string for clothing and eating ba
nanas. QOMEBODT, for exsmple, away back
J in tne oeginnings, waniea some'
thing better than a club to hunt
with, and started worrying about It.
Out of thla worrying came the bow
) and arrow.
And somebody else wearied of pack
ing all his belongings on the back of
a horse or an ox and wanted some
thing better. Wanting something, he
begsn worrying about how to get it.
Out of his worrying came the wheel
IT 18 FINE to have nothing much to
worry about, and maybe a gee-
string Is clothing enough In the trop.
lea and perhaps bananas will keep
one alive.
But who want the kind of exist
ence In which life la bounded by a
gee string for clothing and bananas
for fowl?
' No; lets go on WANTING things.
and worrying out some way to get
them. It s better for us. and besides
It's a lot more fun.

DELINQUENT TAXES
CURB CITY INCOME
The Importance of Including In the I
Medford city budget a fund to care J
for tax delinquencies during the com- j
ing year waa evidenced today in a!
.report made by M. L. Alford. city
recorder, which shows that Medford
will meet the opening of the new
year with a deficit of approximately
1153,000. Thla shortage will be In
creased as the year continues, unless
taxes are paid at a rate far In excess
of the closing yeara record.
Thla shortage Is in addition to all
savings made through reductions In
salaries, which were trimmed to what
la considered the lowest possible fig
ure. For the month of December the
city hss a deficit of between $5,000
and tS.OOO in the general fund, and
for bond interest and redemption a
shortage of 9500. These amounts
will have to be collected next year,
for thla reason a provision la being
made, as an emergency measure, In
the city budget for the coming year.
The first monies coming in will
have to be sp?nt In taking up war
rants. R.

WASHINGTON Dec. 5. Rural con
gressmen are quaking with prohibi
tion ague.
That was what waa behind all the
phenagllng over the Garner move for
straight-out repeal.
Many of the boys from the sticks
are not certain how their local peo
ple feel about this thing yet. The
national election waa no mandate on
beer or repeal to them. What they
are mnlnly Interested in ls getting
themselves elected again.
They would like to vote both wet
and dry if they can and please both
sides. They do not care much how
the Issue comes out.
Views Change Fast.
A southern congressman arrived la
town ten days before the session. He
was Informed the leaders were going
to vote on beer and postpone action
on repeal. He announced to his
friends:
"I am for repeal, but I will never
vote for beer."
Five days later the leaders changed
their minds. They decided to vote
on repeal and postpone beer. The
congressman fled Into a rage. He
allowed that he had never heard of
such '.'dirty double dealing," etc., etc-
When ssksd his position on the
subject, he replied:
"You know I am not so strong for
this repeal thing, I think X might
have voted for beer.
He Was Misquoted!
There Is also the case of a Re
publican leader, with both wet and
dry leanings, but with the accent on
the dry. He comes from a northeast
