Only a Sales Tax
A GENERAL salei tax on all products except those of the
farm, is being advocated by the administration at Wash
ington and strongly opposed by farm organizations and their
lobbies, as well as by congressmen who farm the farmers for
their votes, as a tax on the consumer and the little fellow.
That is true enough but there is no reason why everyone should
not bear some burden of taxation, the little fellow as well as
the big.
At the same time these farm organizations are insistent
upon some form of farm relief and the present. form it has
taken in the voluntary domestio allotment plan. Under this
scheme the government would pay to growers of export crops
a bonus equal to the existing tariff, minus a small charge for
administrating, the payment being made only on the proportion
of the crop used for domestic consumption. To obtain this
money, the government would impose an excise tax to be col
lected from the millers, meat packers and other processors of
commodities handled which would be equal to the tariff, but
would be refunded on exports affected. The processor would
pass it on to the consumer.
THE allotment plaa amounts to a subsidy to the farmer paid
hv the pnnanmer. In other words it. is simolv a sales tax on
food. The farm organizations oppose a sales tax on manu
factured products, which they buy, but favor a sales tax on
products they sell, when they are the beneficiaries.
This is the difficulty faced by all tax raising bodies. All
clamor for taxation that benefits them individually and soaks
the other fellow. All want services by government and subsidies
if possible at public expense but balk on paying for them. But
as long as we subsidize industry with high tariffs, or outright
subsidies for special interests and classes, the country cannot
fairly oppose the farmers' bid for a subsidy. But the consumers
will, aB usual, foot the bill. Capital Journal.

Editorial Comment
We have been called to account by
one of our ub9cribera on account of
our attitude In regard to Mr. Bank
of the Dally News. We fear that we
have been mleunderatood; our critic
seems to think that we have been
decrying the value of the Dally News'
equipment. That waa not our Idea
at all. Our contention and la
that the publisher of the News was
In error when he claimed that the
admitted Indebtedness of the paper
waa more than covered by a plant
worth by his figures) M5.000. It
appeared to us that this was a sub
terfuge for the sole purpose r,f de
ceiving the public and the court. His
idea appears to us to make the pub
lie believe there was no foundation
in the plea for a receiver.
We have stated before and will cay
again that we have no fault to find
with Mr. Banka attitude aa a fear

ommon people. We would like to
see hla paper succeed.' But we save
no patience with hla attitude of con
stant fault-finding. This thing of
always looking for some ultimate mo
tive, some dastardly plot In every
thing which la done In southern Ore
gon, gets on our nerves.
If Mr. Banks would "lay hla oarde
on the tab: s," ax he la ao fond of
saying, and tell us frankly that his
business had not been the financial
success he had hoped It would be
that the kind of men he had hired Pa
managers had failed to keep the pa
per out of debt that he waa trying
to place the paper on a sound foot
ing again we would gladly take off
our hats to him and say, "Go to it,
old man; we wish you luck."
But on the other hand, the history
of the Dnlly News since Mr. Banks
purchased it shows that he seems to
think tli at he has & special dispensa
tion from the Pope or someone to
pick flaws In everything and every
one in Oregon. Ever tn gave
up his residence in California he has

SERVES STEVENS
FAMILY17 YEARS
It's a Tory little tree that stands
today honoring the Yuletlde In the
home of Mr. and Mrs. James Steven."
on North Oakdsle end It's artificial,
but It's fragrant, ror each branch
has been sweetened by the Christmas
memories of 17 years. And each
"dingle" bell upon each branch has
a story to tell of holidays In esst,
west, north and south, celebrated by
two grand old troopcia, now In Med
ford. Each shiny bit of tinsel, decking
the artificial needles, rwalls faces, as
well as places, the Stevens' have
known while "Jim" has been singing
his songs. And so the tree Itself
has become, as a song, very necessary
to a merry Christmas. Spen In a
nook in New York or a wide rambling
house In the southland, the Christ
mas season does not arrive for the
Stevens' until the little tree, which
folds up umbrella style, has bean
brought from the trunks and given
a place nf honor.
Since 1917, when It was decked In
a New Yoii- apartment to await the
return of tiw opera company to the
city, It haa been Chrlstmaslng la
Now York, Baltimore, Boston, Shreve
port, Dallas, Detroit, Medford and
way places. It haa been the center
of many merry gatherings, where
singers snd stars ot the legitimate
ataee greeted old Santa Claus. It's
bells still ring and the little clay
plls still retain their quaint Irish
lines as the tree awaits the arrival
of 1033.
It's most beautiful Christmas. Mrs.
Stevens said last evening was Its first
spent In Medford. "That waa when
Jim had come west for his health,"
she explained, "forced to leave the
opera and all Its associations. But
when C'.irlstmaa came he waa getting
weil. We were living on Jay atrcet,
and we brought forth the little tree.
It waa showered with telegrams from
our friends, coming from all sections
of the United States, wishing Jim a
speedy return."
"One Christmas I'll never forget."
Mr. Stevens added, "was that spent
In Shreveport, where the opera com
pany laid off for a week, the one
week always dull In show business.
"In Shreveport we met a Catholic
priest, a Belgian, and a marvelous
mnn. We had a grand party. We
all went to mass anrt the church
membera all came tt t;;e opera. The
father told them to."
Turning back to the history of the
tree. Mr Stevens continued, "an In
teresting thing about It this year
the peop'e who gave it to ua In New
York are now living In Los Armeies.
We hadn't heard from them for a
long, long time until a few days ago
when I started them a note, and here

HOW TO COPE WITH IMAGINARY PERILS.
There are a lot of people who have
the temrerament of the old hermit
who combined that his life had been
a long aeries of
misfortunes and
calamities, most
of which, he ad
mitted, had never
happened. F e o
ple who are al
waya taking pre
cautions against
exposure to cold
are like that.
Here la a moth
er who is worried
about the Imaginary pirtls to which
her daughter Is exposed. Let ua see
whether we can't dispel a bit of the
gloom.
Dear Dr. Brady:
. . . she Is Just nineteen, work
ing as a technician for physic
ians whose practice Is largely the
treatment of victims of syphilis.
Positions are hard to obtain
nowadays and for that reason I
have hesitated . . . tljg aalary is
email, but she needs the money
badly.
She has to draw the blood Into
the test tube with her mouth
when they are taking a specimen
of blood for the Wassermann test.
The risk seems out of all pro
portion to the benefit she gains
in simply making enough for food
and shelter.
The doctors are Jewish and
she Is Christian. I am not quite
surs In my mind why I mention
this fact.
Should ahe give up the posi
tion? Mrs. S. A. H.
The universal method of drawing
a specimen of blood for analysis or
for a blood count cr for a test or cul
ture Is by means of a pipette Into
which the blood Is drawn by suction.
But the doctor, nurse or technician
always watches the level of the blocd
as It rises In the pipette (of glsas)
and etop; drawing when It reaches
the precise height needed. The long
flexible rubber tube and the doctor's
or thnlclan's mouthpiece can never
be reached by the blood, so there Is
no conceivable risk of infection In
that way.
Jf tho technician or nurse doing
such work for a physician Is intelli
gent enough to follow the simple
principles of aseptlo technic, or the
instructions of the physician, the
work Is perfectly safe.
Even if the doctors were Republi
cans and the girl a Socialist, it
wouldn't make any great difference.
Health and sickness are the same in
all branches of the so-called human
race.
Indeed, nurses and phystclana are
dally exposed to far graver actual
dangers, in the course of their work.
Once In a while some nurse or phy
sician falls victim to Infection, or to
ths attack of an Insane or delirious
putlent, or and this la the most de
plorable of all becomes the prey ot
a criminal who entices his victim by
appealing for professional aid. This
Is one of several minor crimes which
should be punished with death.
In everyday routine the pbyatclan,
knowing and following the princi
ples of aseptl (not antiseptic) tech
nique, is actually less exposed to the
risk of infection or contracting' com
municable disease than la the lay
man who la Ignorant of asepsis. Anti
sepsis or antiseptic technique means
relying on chemical or other agents
which prevent the multiplication or
growth of germs; asepsis or aseptic
technique means relying on such rigid
cleanliness that the germs do not
gain entrance to the field at all. There
la a world of difference. Impossible
to explain to the uninitiated layman
In a few minutes, but any well edu
cated nurse or technician knows, em
ploys and relies for security upon
asepsis.
QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS.
Wind Instrument.
Wuld playing a clarinet tend to
aggravate a goiter? Mra. R. D. V.
Answer No, It haa no effect on
goiter.
Deodorant,
Is there anything in powder form
that you can sprinkle about to dispel
odor from a room, or any liquid?
Mrs. C, F. M.
Answer I know of nothing that
would serve the purpose, in a room
occupied. An ordinary aoap and water
cleaning and a good drying and sun
ning Is the best way to eradicate odor.
Possibly renovation Is required. Clorl
natcd lime ("chlorld of lime") in
the Btrength of a tablespoonful of
the pure stuff irom a freshly opened
can in the gallon of water, la a good
deodorant wash.
Benedict's Solution.
Kindly give directions for testing
the urine with Benedict's solution.
H. M.
Answer I quote from "A Book for
Us Diabetics" by Dr. Don H. Duffle,
Central Lake, Mich. a little book
which every dlabetea patient should
have, a most economical 12-shllllng
Investment:
"Put 20 drops of Benedict's solu
tion in a 4-lnch test tube, add one
drop of urine, ahake, and set tube
in cup of hot water, where It should
boil five minutes, then be set to
cool. If the fluid in the tube remslns
clear blue. It meana no sugar. If It
becomes green, that means a trace
of sugar. If It turns yellow, red or
brown snd such a deposit settles to
the bottom, that means considerable
sugar."

Perils of Property Buying.
To the EcV.tor:
In presenting some plan for the
amelioration of the tax burden on
real estate and homes, I believe that
proposed by J. C. Barnes has much
merit. It offers a tangible and prac
tical basla for reforming and remedy
ing our present crude and archaic
method of taxation.
There aro two other conditions,
however, closely allied with this taxa
tion problem which must be taken
Into consideration If any material
change for the better la to be made
In accomplishing the end sought by
Mr. Barnes reducing the penalties
snd burdens on home and land owner
ahlp end these - conditions are fi
nancing and employment.
Aside from the question of taxation,
there is little Incentive to land own
ership and home building under the
present methods of financing.
In the first place, an investor puts
himself under ths obligation of a
mortgage. Then he must assume the
additional obligation of taxes, insur
ance, upkeep and repair and other
overhead and lnteres'.l The mort
gagor has no attrition on his prop
erty the buyer shoulders it all. And
Interest alone runa all the way from
7 to 14 per cent.
Now the borrower has prsctlcslly
no protection whatever on his Invest
ment. He owns nothing. The deed
Is In escrow. The money lender or
mortgagor has all the protection. The
borrower may pay up 25 or SO or 75
or even W5 per cent of h'.s Indebted-
! ness and yet he Is practically un
! protected In his Investment. If he
defaults In any of hla undertakings.
I the LAW recognizes no ex.-uses. Not-
wlthstsr.dlng the hundreds or thous
I anda of dollars the land or home
j buyer may have put Into his Invest
; ment. The money lender or mortgagor
may step In and close him out and
I he loses all. A man selling a piece
! of property not only gets back his
'original holdings, bu'. In addition.
all that the other lellor has, paid
In. profiting sometimes as high ss
100 per cent.
That's the law. critics will probably
aver. Yea. that's the LAW. But I
may observe that there Is a mighty
! chasm between law and Justice some
times.
Thousands yes. hundreds of thou
ssnd have sacrificed their esvlnps
and earnings In an Ineffectual effort
to get a home or a farm property.
Their vicissitudes have been an ex
perience that will make them pause
before making another attempt. And
i bv the same token these same expe-
rlences will deter many another from
' placing his neck under a similar yoke.
But, critics rny object, without
! these provisions no one will losn
i money or srii on defrrrei pyr?."!
; Very well, if prtvate espltsl won't
, helo finance home and farm unrter
; takings without a Shylrvk bond, let
state or federal institutions, or both.
I be organlred for the purpose. Pro
I vided there Is a sincere de-Ire on the
pert pf our government to lift the
j onerous burden frcm f.i'm l.-.rds snd
' to .r.courega a real "back to the land
and home" movement to restore pros
perity and rebulwark our country
with a patriotism for home land, as
ao often mouthed. Otherwise people
will invest their few hundred dol
lars in an automobile and be free to
wander hither and yon, as hundreds
are now doing.
And now as to employment. When
a man buya a farm property he ex
pects, of course, it will occupy all
his time and the reward thereof will
meet his obligations. But with the
man buying small acreage or a city
property, the altuatlon is quite dif
ferent. The one must have partial
time wage employment, and the other
all time aasured employment to war
rant them Incurring obligations which
Involve a risk in fulfillment, espec
ially when there Is a threefold chance
of losing all they put into their in
vestment.
So taking all these phasea Into con
sideration, there must be a change
all around in methods of taxation,
financing and employment to Induce
men to risk what they have and their
future capacity to earn before much
headway can be made in imbuing
them with the land and home owner
ship Idea. Experience la a dear
teacher and some of us (I have been
through the mill) have learned aome
thlng. Here la a chance for somebody to
Inaugurate somethir.a worth while.
Mr. Barnes has made a good start.
Who's next?

A POEM OF THANKS
It was nearlng ChrHtaii;
My thouehts bepsn ia
Way back many years ago,
wnen i, too, had a home.
But now I am unemployed;
ubvg no ninpn rn da.
The thought of a Rhriu Avril
Makes my feet move mijst) 3
Well, here I am in Medford;
Just another town to me.
For I have traveled east uu ta
And sailed across the i

As I waa bumming on the street,
Trying to get a bite to eat,
I glanced un into a amiiim t
The owner showed mi the ;rJ
piacs.
I went as he directed
And a cozy place I found;
It waa in an old church cellar,
Juat a floor below Vie groust
They had me cut a little nod,
1 But tha was just a teat
To weed out all the foxy oem
And treat the good ones beet.
Then they took me to s kitchen
That was mighty clean;
They set before me a plate ol leer:
The best I've ever seen.
They gave me a cup of coffee,
.The kind that can't be belt;
I asked for a second helping
And had "more" tha,n I eotM
This place that I refer to,
I'll give you all to know,
It'a not a great big mansion
But just a place to go.
Thia place Is managed by the Un
And they cure do run It era.
The food we got for Cnrlstmai
' Could he beat In no notel
Now I am truly thankful;
My heart Is full of cheer;
The meaning of this Chrleimtt
I'll forever hold It dear.
I wish I hsd a fortune.

Might Save a chance to we.
