The Daily News in this morning's ijsue, broadcasts an open
letter to Charles M. Thomas, Public Utility commissioner, asking
that he officially investigate the common gossip that the
"Byllesby company, parent organization of the California Ore
gon Power company, has a large financial interest in a chain
of newspapers operating in Southern Oregon."
"If there is any foundation for such gossip," declares the
Daily News, "and if true, such control of the public press is
contrary to publio policy, and the facta should be made known
to the publio ... The newspapers deny having any affiliation
whatsoever with our public utilities. The suspicion resting over
thorn should bo set aside by a report from your office."
!
TpO which we heartily agree! The Mil Tribune today is send-
ing to Publio Utility Commissioner Thomas, an endorse
ment of the News request and a similar request of its own.
C"01t several years the Mail Tribuue has been the victim of a
whispering campaign, that it is financed and controlled by
tho Caluifornia Oregon Power company. Only last Saturday
we received a communication from a subscriber to this effect,
tho same being printed and answered in Sunday's paper. This
charge has frequently been amplified by the claim, that this
paper is part of a chain similarly financed and controlled.
The Mail Tribune knows there is no truth whatever in these
charges. It is financed and controlled by the present writer,
today, just as it has been for the past twenty years. During
this time there have been changes in minority stock holdings,
but the majority holdings, the control has not been changed
during all this time. The California Oregon Power company
has never had any interest in this newspaper, financial or other
wise, and as long as its present ownership continues, neither it
nor any other outside corporation, EVER WILL HAVE.
But thanks to the constant turmoil and agitation from which
this community has suffered in recent years, this denial will
not be accepted as a refutation of the charges. Nor will it-stop
the whisperings or the malicious and unfounded gossip.

Don 't Cripple Library
rPHE Mail Tribune heartily agrees with a communication
printed elsewhere in today's paper, from E. E. Kelly, op
posing any out in funds for the publio library which would
cripple, or seriously impair, tho excellent service of that institu
tion at tho presont time.
Because of the financial situation, all publio expenditures
must be reduced. The public library must assume its proper
share of what is a common burden, but in its reduced appro
priation, we believe this has been done.
As Mr. Kelly points out, the library is more needed, and is
performing a more necessary publio service, at the present time,
than ever before in its history.
DURING this depression few people indeed can afford to buy
books. Nor we regret to say can many afford to sub
scribe to newspapers and magazines as they could in normal
times. .
Yet not only tho entertainment, the relaxation, the moral
and spiritual stimulation, but even more important the IN
FORMATION that books, magazines and newspapers contain,
are all needed today, more aoutely than at any other time. It
is not an exaggeration to maintain they are essential factors in
our socHal and economio recovery.
The Medford publio library is one of the most efficiently
conducted and intelligently supervised, institutions of the kind
in the state. Many of our readers will recall that no less an
authority than Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia
university, when on a visit to Crater Lake a few years ago,
publicly declared as much.
LET us keep it that. Let us NOT, in this mad rush for econ
omy, cripple this necessary and essential service, which is
contributing so much to the entire community at the present
time.
In other words let us avoid UNNECESSARY extremes in
this matter of reducing expenditures. Let us avoid the folly
of being "penny-wise and pound-foolish."
Conditions are bad. But thoy have not reached a point
where turning the land bnck to the Indians, is justified.
This does not mean library expenses should NOT be reduced,
they should be, and have been, but it DOES MEAN, that
tho library should be adequately maintained, at this time, above
all others and that its service to the people all the people
should not be seriously impaired.

Economical and Modern
Gold Reduction System
Southern Oregon Need
(By A. E. Kellogg.)
The Southern Oregon and North
ern California Mining Association,
Inc., recently organized, and com
posed principally of mine owners and
operators in the region of southern
Oregon and northern California for
the purpose of fostering and promot
ing the development of the mineral
resouroes1of the regton, has sent out
an fl. O. 8. call for a modern eco
nomical and efficient uniform sys
tem for reducing the refractory gold
bearing ores In their midst.
Several years ago thesa mine op
erators failed to solve this-local prob
lem. At that time there was a uni
versal suspension of the gold mining

the mining industry in this region
resulted In failure,

However, at this time, they have a
vision of a general resumption of
tha Industry, with a world-wide de
pression not yet at Its peak, which
demands an Intensive production nf
gold to assist the millions of miners
thrown out of employment in the
production of copper, iron and other
metals employed In. the arts and In
dustries of the world.
During 1037 the local mirk owners
vlsloned a large-capacity smelter and
refinery plant at some point In south
ern Oregon, where It would be con
venient for the mines of southern
Oregon and northern California, as
well as points between the San Fran
cisco and Tacoma smelters. This
would be a prim factor In the greater
development of the vast mineral none
which embraces the region of the two
border states.
During the same year the mine
owners of the two states concluded
that a smelter was essential to bring
about a general resumption of the
mining of gold and copper In this
region.
Gold Hill Rent Site.
A big meeting of mine owners re
siding between San Francisco and
Tacoma met in Oold Hill, and it was
the concensus of opinion that Oold
Hill was the logical potn for thj
erection of the proposed srmlteT. This
was due to the fact that Oold HiU
was on the main line of the South
ern Pacific between flsn Francisco
and Portland, and had a number of
mince with an output of ore suf
ficient to operate a large -capacity
smelter within a radius of practical
aerial-tramway from the main por
tals of the mines to th smelter and
refinery.
The Oregon and California mine
operators at the meeting advanced
quite a sum of money to organlra a
smelter company and do all neces
sary preliminary things to launch the
project. A smelter company was
formed and extensive a.te on the
river and railroad on the outskirts
of Oold Hill was secured for the
plant. However, it became noised
about at that time that the big cop
per companies were Junking their
smelter and supplanting with mills
fur grinding the ore and making sep
tratlon by oil flotation or chemical
separation or other cheaper and prac
tical systems of ore reduction. At
this point financial support of the
smelter project was withdrawn.

Scientifically there Is no evidence
that "autointoxication" ever happens.
In other words, the body is never
poisoned by Its own excretions. Most
of the symptoms ascribed to such
imaginary poisoning are in reality
due to anxiety, worry, introspection
and the harm done by unnatural in
terference with the alimentary func
tions. I am prepared to maintain
the truth of this against the argu
ments of all who pretend to be au

To the Editor:
In your editorial of December U,
in which you forecast what will pos
sibly be the result of the non-pay
ment by France of her war debt In
stallment due this country. If it
serves to bring hatred between the
two countries, and destroy all the
bonds of friendship that have en
dured for over ISO years, many mil
lions of good, sensible American citi
zens as well as millions of French
people will deeply regret It. In this
as in every other tragedy, there is
always one or more Individuals more
or leae responsible for the happen
ings. In my opinion, William Randolph
Hearst should bear a large share of
responsibility in this particular case,
as well as other rotten politicians
here and In Europe.
Soon after the war, Mr. Hearst be
gan a violent campaign of vituper
ation against France, for'the benefit :
of Germany. Almost every day bis'
numerous dallies a'', over the coun
try carried Ion editorials of hatred
agalist the French nation, in fact
he became so abusive that H was
found necessary by the French gov
ernment to expel him from France.
Many of his articles were reprinted
in the French press, and read by
millions of French people who had
suffered from the war. The respon
sible heads of the French nation
knew very well that this wasn't the
attitude of the American govern
ment, but the rank and file of the
French clt Irons did not bother them
selves to study these facts, and con
sequently they felt that the admin
istration at Washington was respon
sible for this outburst of anti-French
propaganda, and they were still more
exasperated by Mr. Hover's morato
rium, which relieved Oermany of any
further payment for war damage to
France and Belgium.
Had the war been fought on Brit
ish soil, perhaps, it would have re
versed things a little. This Is not a
reflection on the English, as the
writer was a former British aubjt?ct,
before becoming an American citi
zen, and as such I have nothing but
the deepest respect for the British
people as well as for the French peo
ple, and as one who for four years
suffered physically and financially
from the war, and - was personally
acquainted ' with many of the con
ditions with Which the people of
those countries are facing today, I
feel justified in expressing my hum
ble opinion, and Judging from some '
of your editorials that appear from
time to time in the Mall Tribune, and
particularly the editorial of Decem
ber 16, In regard to the war debts,
I fully agree with you, and thanks
to God, you are one of those few
editors that try at least to explain
the true facts, and glw your opin
ion on how this unfortunate war
debt question should be dealt with. .
Mr. Hearst has failed to do that; i
he always has used his pen to sow
hatred between nations, and In this ;
work he has had the hearty cooper- i
atlon of many disreputable Interna- j
tlonal politicians. I
He never has given Prance credit ;
for her suffering during the World
war, for the one million and a half
of France's children that were killed
outright on the battlefields, and for
the two more millions that are crip
pled for life, and for the 50,000 square
mile of territory of her beat prov
inces that were left a mass of char
red ruins after the war ended. No,
Mr. Hearst was very Indifferent to
that: his heart and good-will went
to Prussia, In spite of the fact that
German territory had not been
scratched by the war. While over
seas, I did hear often, remarks made
by American soldiers that war should
have ended In Germany, to give the
people there a taste of the war.
Out here, In this God-blessed
country, surrounded by two mighty
oceans and friendly neighbors, we
cannot understand nor realize that
those people in northern and east
ern France live In perpetual fear.
They hare seen the Prussian twice
In less than 60 years; at each time
some of their children have been
killed and their homes destroyed, and
they have been compelled to live
under the iron heel of the Prussian,
and work as slaves while their coun
try was occupied. Mr. Wilson told
them there would be no more wars;
that a league of nations would be
established, and that the whole world
would be at peace. But all Mr. Wil
son's promises were overruled by the
American congress.
Today conditions are far worse
than they were 10 years ago; the
German people have practically lost
all the right that they obtained
under the Weimar constitution, the
Prussian Junker Is back in power,
paving the way for the return of a
Hohenzollern, and this, thanks to a
certain press and to the politicians.
It Is Indeed unfortunate that this
country has not seen fit to use its
mighty moral power to support the
Iiengue of Nations, and has constant
ly refused to be one ltt active mem
bers. It would be near Insanity for
any foreign country to boast that
they could get along without the
good-will of the United Statre; tt Is
equally foolish for some of this coun
try's politicians to state that the
Unite! States can very well get along
without the rest of the world.
Cancellation or repudiation of war
debts cannot be tlie real solution to
this thorny question: some other
form of settlement will have to be
made, every taxpayer in this coun
try and every sane person, whether
English, French of German, will agree
that the United States Is entitled
to Justice and deserves fair treat
ment. Some Individuals, whether
newspaper editors or otherwise, are
always Jumping at conclusions, and
th; deduction they make is that all
the cltlrens as well as the govern
ment of thone defaulting countries
I are crooks They slae up others with
their own bushel.
That class of individuals who for
their own selfish ambition are al
. ways trying to mislead their own
j countrymen, and at the same time
j engender hatred between nations, can
otUy be compared to those ueii-vom-

with the hypocritical warcry, "Gott

millions of humans were slaughtered.
Those unhappy people who live on
the blood-soaked fields of Belgium and
northern France, whose countryside is
dotted with millions of little white
crosses, as a silent reminder of their
past suffering, can not be all dis
honest, and they do not despise the
American people, and to believe the
contrary would be a sin. It Is in
credible to believe that the world
politicians have failed in their duties
to their respective people in arriving
at a Just settlement of this irritant
debt tangle. Those people over there
will not deny that the American tax
payers have a just claim which they
cannot afford to cancel, and when
this will be properly explained to
them, they shall, and they will un
derstand, but as they are only hu
man, warned by their past experi
ence and angered by the action of
some of our own politicians who
worked so strenuously in helping to
relieve Germany of her Just obliga
tions In paying for war damage, they
are the same Individuals who now
are clamoring for reprisals against
the so-called defaulting nations.
Take Will Rogers' advice and, for
a time at least, the less we talk
about the whole mess the better.
