660 hours work per year. This seems
a trifle high, but can be reduoed to
the proper level later. Technocracy

Christmas comes but once a year. It
would do no harm to spread the

human. This Christmas, according to
the best thought, will be "a unique

Idea seems to be Merry Hell, and a
Scrappy New Year to you.

Aocordlng to the 90 years ago sec

have aaked her to pray, and accept

received quite a scolding frorci re

lady-elect did not mention, that the
young men also crook an elbow In
oonvlvlallty, and are usually the
source of supply for the young ladles.
Drinking by the young folks has been
a'by-product of Prohibition, as most
any one will tell you, If no vote la

has faced the issue by not looking at

Time to Call a Halt
TITE have been visited by several members of the Chamber
of Commerce urging us to oppose the abandonment of
the Siskiyou Highway reconstruction project and fight for its
re-establishment.
They point out that this improvement is -greatly needed to
provide work for the unemployed ; that the government money
for it has been appropriated and that if it is not spent here it
WILL BE SPENT SOMEWHERE ELSE; that the improvement
of the California gateway is demanded by public policy, and
if it is not done, Jackson county will suffer seriously, in the
competition between the Pacific Highway and the Kedwood
highway for 1933 tourist travel.
TITE don't question the truth of ANT of these statements.
" We admit it is very unfortunate that this project can't
be carried out at this time.
But as we view it, from the standpoint of good business
sense, and the necessity of cutting our garment to fit the cloth,
there is, not only from the standpoint of present, but probably
future, conditions, NO OTHER WAT OUT. .
So in lieu of arguments more cogent and convincing than
those advanced, we declined to go along with those who refuse
to accept the decision of the State Highway commission;, and
intend to fight for a reversal of the verdict.
OIORE than that, we believe the time has come for all of us,
'this oonimunity and every other to get down to brass
tacks, and quit kidding ourselves.
We are still in the midst of a devastating depression. Be
cause of this depression, the credit of the state of Oregon is
seriously threatened. The state budget, like the national bud
get, has not been balanced, and the outstanding and foremoBt
job before this state, like the job before the government, is to
balance the budget.
In order to do this the most stringent economy must be ob
served, and successful economy like successful charity should
begin at home. ' '
If we are to get out of the woods, and we MUST (and will)
get out of them this community like every other, must assume
its share of the necessary sacrifice'. We can no longer demand
retrenchment and economy from other communities, in the way
of public improvements through government aid, and refuse
to accept retrenchment and economy when THIS community is
concerned. -
TRUE, by abandoning this Siskiyou Highway projeot, govern
ment money will be lost, but the federal money already ap
propriated, represents Only a small portion of the sum needed
to complete this projeot. .
In his recent budget message President Hoover recommend
ed the drastic reduction of future federal appropriations for
road construction. There is, therefore, little likelihood that this
year's appropriation would be
tinued until the Siskiyou project had been completed.
But even if this government money SHOULD be made avail
able, the project could not be carried on and completed without
financial assistance from this state. ,
Where would the state of Oregon get the1 money t
a. e e
'J'THERE is only one source, the taxpayers. But taxes are
now so high, all records for delinquency in this state have
been broken. ' v
Moreover, the funds for highway construction, have only
been provided in the past by maintaining extremely high auto
mobile license fees and increasing the gas tax. There is a public
demand for lower license fees which won't be' denied. A re
duction from an average of over $22 tp $3, is probable. Any
inorease in the gas tax would be vigorously resisted, and more
than one cent increase is simply not in the cards.
What does this meant It means that in all likelihood, the
highway commission will, at least for the next two years, have
a revenue sufficient only for maintenance, neoessary repairs,
and interest on the bonded debt. This will moan no money for
new construction, except by a special tax,
But this Siskiyou projeot would be new construction. So we
return to our original starting point t
WHERE WOULD THE STATE OF OREGON GET THE
MONET t
NO, brethren, we can't HAVE our cake and EAT it I We
CAN'T go on building new de luxe motor highways here
or anywhere else and ALSO cut down our license fees, and
our monthly gas purchases. We CAN'T go on matching gov
ernment money with, state and oounty money acceptable aa
government money is and ALSO balance our budget, and re
duce our back breaking tax burden.
WE MUST DO ONE THING OR THE OTHER. Either stop
spending money, and by the most drastio retrenchment and
economy, put our financial house in order; or keep on spending
money AND GO BROKE.
There is the whole thing in a nutshell.
And this is why, much as vt would like to see this new
Siskiyou Highway built now when there are so many men out
of work, and a stimulation of the tourist travel would be so
desirable
We agree with the members of the state highway commission,
that under present circumstances it should not be attempted,
and CAN'T be attempted without risking EXTREMELY
SERIOUS FINANCIAL COMPLICATIONS for the state, and
its people, In the immediate future.

SHORT COURSE IS TREPTOCOCCOLOOY.
Whether you consider reptiles In
teresting and beautiful or not, cer
tainly your education la defective If
It does not In
clude an elemen
tary .knowledge of
herpetology.
Just so, every
one should have
a short course In
a t r eptococcology
for the sake of
his own health
and safety. Here
It la. Take It or
remain ignorant,
as you prefer.
Of the several types of bacteria or
germs that commonly produce In
flammation or suppuration one called
Streptococcus because it occurs In the
form of chains like strings of beads
rather than In single units like grains
or seeds (Coccus) or groups or
groups or bunches like a bunch of
grapes (Staphylococcus) Is the most
vlrulant and malignant to man. Most
laymen have read or heard of the part
played by one or another strain of
Streptococcus In outbreaks of septic
sore throat carried in milk from cows
that have an Inflammation of the
udder. Then there Is the frequent as
sociation of a streptococcus with acute
infectious arthritis (Inflammatory
rheumatism, rheumatic fever). '
We know that erysipelas Is caused
by streptococcus. Drs. George P. and
Gladys Dick reported In 1021 that
they had produced typical sore throat
by Inoculating volunteers (students)
with pure cultures of a hemolytic
(blood destroying or corpuscle-dissolving)
streptococcus Isolated- from
early cases of scarlet fever.
Again In 1933 the aame famous
brother and sister team, having proved
that one may contract scarlet fever
without the rash, reported that in
further experiments they had ob
served that the same streptococcus
hemolytlcus may cause typical scarlet
fever In one person, sore throat and
malaise and fever without any rash In
a second person, and perhaps no 111
teffect at all In a third person who
happens to he Immune.
Still later the Drs. Dick reported
their observations of the effects, of
Inoculating volunteers with hemolytic
streptococcus cultures obtained from
the skin of a patient suffering with
erysipelas; the students Inoculated
felt o. k. for from 44 to 40 hours after
the Inoculation.
The time elapsing from the moment
of Infection to the beginning of Ill
ness la called the Incubation period.
In scarlet fever the incubation period
Is ordinarily three or four days, but
sometimes only 30 to 40 hours and In
a few cases aa long as six days.

At the end of the 44 to 40 hours
Incubation, the students developed
acute sore throat and tonsllltles, with
fever, malaise, headache, leukocytosis
(sudden Increase In the number of
white corpuscles, phagocytes, in the
blood). The Illness lasted three or
four days. Cultures from the throats
of these volunteer Invalids showed
the same hemolytic streptococcus as
bad been obtained ordinarily from the
Inflamed skin of the erysipelas pa
tient, but none of the volunteers had
erysipelas.
Thus It Is evident that the same
germ may cause scarlet fever In one
patient, sore throat and fever without
rash In another patient, br erysipelas
In still a third cose. .
And that Isn't the hajf of what the
streptococcus can do. It figures as
the main or perhaps the only germ
responsible for the most serious sep
tic Infection of wounds and acute sep
ticemia (acute blood poisoning). It
Is responsible for the most serious
esses of appendicitis and peritonitis.
In fact, you may quote me as saying
the streptococcus is a thoroughly bad
customer, without a single redeeming
feature.

Editorial Comment
The city of Medford cannot be ac
cused of being dilatory In the matter
of celebrating tha 76th anniversary
of the creation of the state of Oregon,
as well as the 60th anniversary of the
establishment of the city of Medford.
It has also preempted the second week
in June, not next year, but June, 1934,
for the purpose of serving notice on
the rest of they world to set aside this
week for -their big celebration. Med
ford always has been a live little me
tropolis and would no doubt have
been even much farther advanced
than she Is except for the continual
row among the Jnckson oounty poli
ticians. Medford holds not only first
place as the pear center of the world
but first place for hell raising by tin
horns striving for public favors-
(Co mill la Gazette-Times).
After all, maybe it's a good thing
the aU-Amerlmn teams do Include
half the players In the country. They
make good reading, grounds for heat
ed argument and the more players
they put on them, the fewer Injustices
are wrought.
