Good Work,
WE would like to express our thanks to tbe members of tbe
local budget committees, wbo are now nearing tbe close of
their arduous labors.
Their, efforts, not easy under
been rendered extremely trying, and perplexing, by the prevail
ing economio and business conditions.
These budget committee members are not paid for their
services; they give of their energy and time, day after day and
night after night, and get little but criticism and cursing from
the spectators.
But not from one of them, have we "heard any complaint or
fault finding. They have stuck to their jobs, persistently stud
ied their problems, listened patiently to all suggestions, and
throughout have had but one purpose in mind, to secure the
best financial program POSSIBLE under the circumstances.
Here we have an outstanding and inspiring example of the
finest spirit of unselfish public service. So hats off to the mem
bers of the budget committees each and every one of them.'
Medford and Jackson county are truly fortunate in having
such a high type of efficient and loyal citizenship to call upon,
during what is perhaps the darkest hour of the country's worst
depression.,
Beware of Gift-Bearing Greeks
DRESIDENT-ELECT EOOSEVELT has been invited to visit
Europe immediately following his inauguration, as Presi
dent Hoover was invited to visit South America immediately
following his. '
President Hoover's visit undoubtedly did much to better
Pan-American relations. France and England, aecording to press
reports, believe that a visit from President Roosevelt would
contribute even more to the betterment of American relations
with Europe. '
As one foreign correspondent expresses it "if President
Roosevelt could see with bis own eyes the true situation in
Europe, it is believed he would have a far clearer understanding
of the problems which face the western world at the present
time."
MEBBE so. There is no doubt the new American president
would have a triumphal journey, would be wined and
dined and cheered as he proceeded from one European capital
to another. The event would be epoch making j the experience
one no man would ever forget.
But we believe Governor Roosevelt is too wise to accept such
an invitation. There is the preoedent established by President
Wilson, who landed in Europe, the saviour of the world, and de
parted, a disillusioned, defeated and broken man. Probably the
entire course of post-war history would have been changed, if
President Wilson had resisted the temptation to tackle the job
alone, and on foreign soil, and only sent his representatives and
directed them by cable from the White House.
WE are all human, whether our role is that of greatness or
obscurity. Close human contaots influence us, atmosphere
and environment modify our actions and our views. Moreover
European public men are masters of intrigue and manipulation ;
American publio men, from the viewpoint of diplomacy, are at
best amateurs.
On a European tour President Roosevelt would have a won
derful time. But barring a miracle, he would e hopelessly
involved in European entanglements, jealousies and rivalries,
before he got through. '
We don't believe it necessary for anyone to tell President
elect Roosevelt to deoline this beguiling invitation, and remain
on home soil The experience would be a thrilling one, but the
price would be too high, either for him, or. for his country,
to pay.
Another Amendment Needed
THE mors we study the Home Loan Mortgage measure the
more we are convinced that it should be amended by con
gress, the sooner the better.
The bill is designed to help the individual home owner, but
it is so hedged about by red tape and technicalities, that any
wide Bpread benefits in this direction are practioally impossible.
No doubt this situation impelled Senator Borah to offer his
resolution favoring repeal. Borah is built that way. He is
either 100 percent for, or 100 percent against anything in which
he is interested. ,
In our opinion, however, the measure should not be repealed.
It is a step in the right direction, and many of its provisions are
sound.
But it should be amended, so that the provisions giving aid
to the small home owner, may be translated from a mere
benevolent gesture, into actual performance.

CONTAGIOUS IMPETIGO
Every autumn torn kind of break
ing out appears on tbe ikln ol averal
children and adult in a certain
group or neighbor
hood. Doctors call
It Impetigo. Ia this
a "dirt disease?"
Is It contagious?
Should persons
who .have It be In
school or at work
In their usual con
tact with well per
sons. In business
or social life? (Mrs.
M. M. K.)
In the first place, the authorities
on skin disease know little about It.
The name Impetigo merely signifies
an attack. Perhaps the characteristic
lesions of Impetigo may be caused, by
different factors In different cases or
epidemics.
The commonest form occurs as you
describe and la quite contagious. Any
child with aucvh an acute eruption
on the skin, somewhat resembling
chlckenpox or In some -Instances sug
gesting ringworm, should be Isolated.
So should any adult. In the case of
a school, nurse of teacher should ex
clude any such suspicious ailment,
at least until a responsible physician
passes judgment. In business and so
cial life, you have to rely on your
own Judgment; in view of the shock'
lng lack of conscience on the part
of the average Ignorant layman (or
the layman who pretends to be Ig
norant) It Is wise to err on the side
of squeamlshness. In sheer self-defense.
The characteristic lesion of im
petigo appear first as vesicles (little
blisters), which later become pustu
lar, or they are already pustules when
first noticed. There is usually con
siderable itching present.
In the course of several days the
spots become covered with a brown
ish crust. The crusts dry up and
fall off In a week or longer, leaving a
red stain, whlcft gradually disappears
In another week.
The crusts of impetigo are larger
than the spots of chlckenpox and
occur In patches, while the spot of
chlckenpox are more evenly distrib
uted over the skin. Impetigo crusts
look as though they are "stuck on"
the skin. They never leave mark or
scar after healing, but ehlckenjox
isaslons sometimes leave pits.
The inquisitive fingers of the pa
tient spread the disease, from place
to place on his or her own skin, and

Thanks for Editorial
To tha Editor:
For the first time during the busy
weeks of the annual Christmas Seal
sale I have found time to review
the clippings that have come from
the state press. I wish to thank the
Medford Tribune, and especially the
editorial department, for the splendid
support you have given the Christ
mas Seal sale. '
May I particularly thank you for
your editorial of November 38th,
Everybody Should Buy Seals This
Tear"? I am sure this fine plea has
greatly aided the Christmas Seal sole
In Jsckson county and I know It
was deeply appreciated by your
Jackson County Public Health asso
ciation, as It was by all of us.
Gratefully yours,

Admits His Mistake
To the Editor:
Friday night at our council meet
ing I got some big figures together
and hod thenv twisted around so
that they brought me to a wrong
conclusion: remember how we used
to do that In algebra, and the pro
fessor hod to straighten us out?
There are at least two redeeming
features In It for me, I am not
ashamed to acknowledge a mtstoke.
and I found my mistake without
help.
For the post month I have been
digging Into tax matters and here Is
the actual condition In city affairs:
We ore nearly two million dollars in
debt; at B per cent Interest this
means a vast sum each year in inter
est alone.
Then we find that with a total
tax levy of Sl,43S,4ei.8 for the post
y.-sra county expenses, a total of
ll.099.S53.S9 was actually paid In up
to December 1st and with an ex
pected tax payment of 120,000 in
December, leaves the total county
about OOfl.OOO short and naturally
the city has Its shore of hot.
By practicing rigid economy they
hove been able to come out wtth a
shortage of only around S80O0; but
there Is an Interest payment In only
two weeks that Is also 19000 short,
which mokeo an emergency of S18.
000. The city officials will hove to
re-tlnonce port ot our debts this
coming year which will relieve us
greatly, but we will have to enow
that we ore able to keep our eklrts
clean, hence the 15.000 will hove
to be paid.
Another thing, the city activities
ore being pored to the very bone and
then only enough taxes levied to cover
that, We con expect thot the toxeo
will not be pold In full again, and
where does that leave us.
Bovs, It simply means that we
hove to get our shoulders to the
wheel and help: I know that the
woy we all acted Friday night did
not encourage those whom we hove
asked to act for uo officially and I
am ashamed of my part. If we all
get In and help, our combined powers
can In a very few years pull ourselves
out of our hole and profit by our
experience. Then, Oh, whot a Med
ford we ought to hove.
Respectfully,
OEO. IVERSON.

to the skin of any other person who
happens to come In close contact.
In children the natural Impulse to
scratch the Itchy or irritated spot
must be watched. In older girls or
boys the anxious handling of the skin
must be warned against.
Of all treatments or remedies for
Impetigo contagiosa ammonia ted
mercury onntment seems the most
satisfactory. Each spot should be
kept covered with a bit of the oint
ment, gently rubbed In with one fin
ger tip, the finger tip being thor
oughly scrubbed with hot water and
soap for disinfection Immediately af
ter applying the ointment. Twenty
grains of amnion lated mercury In the
ounce of soft petrolatum or cold
cream, la the right strength of oint
ment. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Drinking Water
Does the drinking of four or five
glasses of woter a day send the blood
pressure up? Also does drinking milk
send It up? (W. H. O.)
Answer. Mo to both questions. I
advise you to think only of health
and the enjoyment ot life and never
mind your blood pressure. The
blood pressure Is a matter to be left
to the physicians consideration.
Asafoetlda
Does asafoetlda do the system any
harm? What good does It do the
system? Some say It Is a good nerve
medicine and I have been told It
keeps the body free from germs. (Mrs.
B. M. P.)
Ana. If It were odorless It would
have little repute as a medicine. The
ancients deemed It .sedative, anti
spasmodic and carminative and Im
agined It was the right medicine for
hysterical females Fetid mastic or
chewing material. Don't be silly
germs do not mind the odor at all.
Asafoetlda is harmless to the sys
tem or the body or what have you.
Why So Chary of Symptoms?
In your column I saw where an
odor of onions or garlic, under the
arms and reddened eyelids indicates
chronio arsenlo poisoning. I have
been to many doctors and they Just
say chronio Junctlvltls . . . tell me
how to get rid of the arsenlo. . . .
(Mrs. O. J.)
Ans-That's why we rarely refer
to symptoms here. Tou should tell
your physician why you suspect ar
senlo poisoning and leave It to him
to make the test to find out.

BUT we want to sell these people
what we have on our shelves
or at least ye THINK we do. So we
say:
"All right, if they haven't got the
money with which to buy what we
have for sale, we'll LEND It to them.
Then they can buy our goods."
Sure they can. But where will
you ond I come out in that sort of
transaction? The answer la easy.
Well come out holding the sock.
That's how this country come out
with Europe.
IF WE'LL stay out of Europe, as we
did for so many-years, and attend
strictly to our own business, supply
ing the wonts of our own people,
building up our standard of living,
paying good wages and keeping our
tariff walls high enough to PRO
TECT these wages, as we did for so
many years, and will forget all about
building up a huge export business,
we'll be better off in the long run.

The Siskiyou project would hove
provided employment over a number
of Jiiors. Tha locel representatives
reluctantly favored the change, but
there seemed no other course.
The meat of the argument advanc
ed by Chairman Scott was:
That the statewide clamor for a
reduction In auto licenses hod de
prived the state highway body of an
ticipated revenue, and that It would
be folly to embork upon new pro
jects with the financial future un
certain; Thot the attitude of the Oregon
public had changed within the past
three months, and that the demand
for retrenchment In highway expen
ditures woo such thst any new road
expenditures were frowned upon, and
would result In protects:
Thot now was the time for sane
and rational action, ond thot radical
steps would not solve the state's fin
ancial problem;
Thot the Winston bridge north of
Roseburg on the Pacific highway wss
In need of repair, and that if it col
lapsed or wss out of commission all
travel would be shut off.
Argus tor Slaklyou Route
The main arguments sdvanced by
the proponents of the Siskiyou re
routing, who included the county
court and O. M. Green ot Ashland,
were:
That the rerouting would prove ot
high value to the tourist trade and
the unemployment situation here:
Thot "If the work was never otart

That southern Oregon had been

Sunday Is not a day of rest for
Mr. X, the man who has been bought
entire state and more Important than
many proposed.
Chairman Scott assured the meeting
that no new projects were under
consideration.
"It Is a question of state-wide In
terest against local Interest," said
Chairman Scott. "The credit of the
state must be preserved and to this
end we are asking you to yield."
All angles of the financial state
of the state highway commission
were discussed.
Preference Noted
J. E. Thornton, mayor of Ashland,
proposed the motion endorsing the
state board plan, with the proviso
we prefer tbe Siskiyou project."
County Judge O. B. Lamkln seconded
the motion.
Commissioners Victor Bursell and
John Barneburg stated they hated
to "back down," as the Siskiyou Job
was of vital Importance to the tour
ist trade and unemployment in Jack
son county.
Chairman Scott maintained "the
reduced revenues and stringent mon
ey situation leave us no other choice."
Senator Qeorge Dunn of Ashland
favored the Talent-Ash land Improve
ment on the grounds that the state
did not have the money for comple
tion of tbe Siskiyou project, and
"there Is no certainty that funds for
this purpose will be available within
the next five or even ten years." He
said further, there was a chance of
legislative or court action against the
etc rt ing of the Siskiyou project.
Ben Harder, Medford banker, said
"It seemed the part of good bus
ness to accept the Talent project, as
something of Immediate benefit in
keeping with the spirit of the times."
The speaker complimented the .high
way board chairman upon his con
servative business efforts.
Sam Baldock, state highway engi
neer, and Arthur E. Collier, state
highway aide, also gave facts and
figures relative to the situation.
Injunction Planned
A delegation of upper valley resi
dents, represented by Attorney M. O.
Wllklns planned to attend the meet
ing to protest u tart ing of the Siski
you project. They conferred with
Chairman Scott and finding the
highway commission was urging what
they sought to protest made no for
ma objection.
It was reported at the meeting that
if the Siskiyou route had been or
dered a court Injunction would have
been sought.
Commissioner Victor Bursell said
that the abandonment of the pro
ject means "we will never get the
Siskiyou route and wilt be left hold
ing the sack for the next ten years,
as Portland can exert the most pres
sure The commissioner said with
the Klamath-Weed road uud the Wil
lamette highway "on the fire. It was
up to southern Oregon to get busy
and protect Itself." He further stat
ed that the unemployment problem la
one "the taxpayer will have to face,
whether he likes It or not." Com
missioner Barneburg expressed the
same views.
Chairman Scott stressed that the
highway board contemplated the let
ting of no new contracts and that It
would concentrate on maintenance
and payment of Indebtedness to keep
the credit of the state intact during
thee times.

on this day.
In the evening Mr, X will address
the members of the Baptist Young
People's Union.
During his dinner hour Mr. X will
be at the Rex Cafe where he will
be at the disposal of the patrons,
and will read their tea cups for them.
Mr. X has had quite a lot of ex
perience In this line and promises
to tell you some Interesting things
which he sees In the bottom of the
cup.
On Monday Mr. X will be busy all
day long, starting off by repairing
a clock for a lady, and finishing up
with writing a play for a girl.
At four o'clock In the afternoon
Mr. X will attempt to change a boy
Into a girl at the Jarmln and Woods
Drug store. Just how Mr. X will do
this he will not say, but promises
to make1 a good looking girl out of
the material supplied him. After all,
he still remembers the nursery rhyme
"What are little girls made of." And
perhaps we will see on Monday aft
ernoon. for straightening the Pacific highway
from the overhead crossing to a point
near Talent, where the 1030 widening
stopped, and follow a general route
along Bear creek. Preliminary sur
veys for the work .have been made. -
