Motored down to Palm Springs for lunch. Never have seen the mountains as beautiful aa they are this year covered with snow half way down their massive aides old San Jacinto rising straight from the desert floor to the clouds. Thanks to the heavy rains the verbenas and scarlet ocotillos are coming into bloom about six weeks ahead of schedule. In the crystal clear air of the desert the panorama was gorgeous. Reports about Palm Springs reports frequently are. 1929 prices in some of the larger hotels, still prevail, but prices elsewhere have come down one can get $300 apartments for $150 per Nor is the place crowded. Over thing is jammed, but it not being a week end, even the Desert Inn seemed deserted, compared with a year ago. We fooled the resort this time had our lunch in the desert outside bottle of milk, graham crackers, oranges and honey 10 cents per. Milk was 20 cents per quart in Palm Springs last year. Only 15 cents this which of course price. That is Palm Sprijjgs, however, all down the line. Nothing mysterious about it just the law The same law works in Los business district where parking and parking space limited straight. Just a few blocks Bway only charge 15 cents for the DAT. Shoe shines around Pershing Square are 15 cents, four blocks away ten cents down on Broadway near the Hall of Records five cents. Nothing myster ious. Just supply and demand. Met an orange grower in Banning he was hoofing it. At grower, but we have an idea he was an employee. He was dark as a Mexican, and had the most beautiful white teeth a little black mustache closely clipped, curving over his lip like a shoe lace, and a charming smile. He said his car had broken down and he couldn't afford to have it repaired, so he decided to walk to Banning and see his brother-in-law who has an almond orchard. " Orange growers didn't make a dime this year," he ex plained, "some of them broke even, but when you have a big overhead, what good does breaking even do. I mean breaking even on freight, icing and commission. I got 50 cents net on some of my high quality stuff, but only about 10 per cent was high quality. A low grade orange is just a total loss. "If I ever get on my feet again I am going to get hold of a good lemon ranch. Lemons don't require half the work, they bear all year round, and they always demand a PAYING price. Yes Sir if you have a good lemon ranch you are fixed for life. But it has to be good and soil is the main thing. Almonds t They are no better than oranges. Lemons they are the thing." Mebbe" so. But you can see the answer. Our pedestrian friend gets a lemon ranch and his friend gets one and so it goes until EVERYONE IS GROWING LEMONS and once more the goldon goose is dead. We don't oare what the business qr economio problem may be it can be reduced fundamentally to the law of supply and demand. Look up lemon production, compare it with orange production, and you will see why lemons pay this year and oranges don't. It's the same all down the line. The orange growers down here are just as determined to secure lower freight rates East as are the pear gowers in Med ford. Yesterday a meeting was held with most of the big railroad executives west of the Mississippi including offioials of the S. P., Sante Fe, Union Pacifio and Western Pacific, and representatives of the California Citrus League. Aocording to our information the session was quite heated. It shouldn't be. The railroads should be as interested in redueing rates as the growers for unless the rates are reduced, they will lose far more in total tonnage and therefore total revenue than they could possibly gain by keeping rates up to the price levels of 1928 and '29. How STUPID of the railroads not to see that everything must eome down. R. W. R. Your Income Tax A series of dally articles bassd on revenue act of 1B38 and designed to aid those required to file In come tax returns for year 193J No, Husband and Wife May File Joint or Separate Returns Husband and wife living together may each make a separate return ot the Income of each, or their Income may be Included In a single Joint re turn. If a Joint return la filed, auch return la treated aa a return of a tax able unit, and the Income disclosed Is subject to both the normal tax and the surtax. Where separate returns are filed by husband and wife, the exemption of SI, 500 may be taken by either spouse or divided between them, the hus band, for example, claiming 19.000 and the wife SflOO. However, where the taxable Income of one spouse Is $4,000 or more In excess of ths per sonal exemption, It Is to ths advan tage of the couple ir such spouse olalms the total personal exemption, the reason being the difference In the normal tax rates, which are per cent on the first $4,000 of net In come above the exemptions, credits, etc., and 8 per cent on the balance. The esse of a husband whose net In come was ea.ooo and a wlfs w,hose net Income wss $3,600 Is sn exempts, the husband claiming the total personal exemption.

Editorial Comment These Things Pass As the latest of Its litigious fruits the tempestuous teapot down In Jack son county has brought forth since one msy as well mix a metaphor In treating of a altuatlon already thor oughly scrambled a very Interesting criminal libel case. That the action la Instituted by a gentleman who but lately wss partisan and employe of the defendant serves only to Illus trate how neighborly and entertain ing such a community fracaa be- oomea when the cats of Kilkenny are going around and around. It Is not good advertising for Jack son county nor for Medford. By standers at a aafe distance msy be no end lifted and diverted, but they are buying no chips In the gsme. They prefer and who shsll blame them? to enact the gsilery, and to go elsewhere to settle down for a con tented evening pipe and a session at dominoes. Here In Portland, where echoes of ths Internecine tumult oc casionally are heard, nobody seems to know what It Is all about. This seems odd. Indeed, until advices from Medford Inform us ss privily they have Informed this newspsper that we In the north are at no great dis advantage. It seems that neither do the combatanta know what It la all about, for that matter. But these things pass. They take the devils own time In doing It, yet nevertheless they psss. They enter the local hlatorles and are at length forgotten by all aava the loquacious old-timers, who llks to argue their Wsterloos and Chlckamaugss all over again In the later years, when no body else la Interested. Yes. Indeed, these things psss. The thought Is offered to Jackson county and to Medford for the solace It may contsln. Oregonlsn.

I gatvher, some of tbe old timers la general practice aa well aa old fogies In the none and throat Held, are stUl assuring their trusting patrons that the new fangled "electric' method of remov- Ing Infected ton sils la unsafe, un satisfactory or un accepted. That's Just too bad for their pa tients. I have on my desk eight letters, all received from readers who have had experience with the diathermy method, all of them aa patients of one physician to whom X had ad vised them to go for this treatment. It will give a fair Impression of the method If I quote briefly from these letters. But readers will please not ask to be put In touch with other correspondents. I am not privileged to divulge the Identity of "v corres pondent. However, I am always glad to name a competent physician for this or any other treatment I recom mend, If a correspondent asks for such information. First Is a letter written by a boy only seven years old! He says the doctor had Just finished .hla tonsils, and he likes it much better than the operation he had three years ago. That is not an uncommon experience. the standard tonsillectomy leaves much to be desired, and later the pa tient finds relief In diathermy treat ment. Not all physicians can suc cessfully treat patients so young with diathermy ,but this one happens to .have the patience, tact and person ality to manage children. Next a man writes that he had his tonsils removed by Doctor on my recommendation and la pleased with the result. Third Is a woman, who says . . . . 'Even after the first two treatments the relief was wonderful and I slept aa I had not done In a year . . . well on the road to recovery from a severe case of actinomycosis . . " Actinomy cosis Is a serious and most obstinate type of Infection, and In this Instance the diathermy treatment proved cur ative. Fourth, a woman says 'I never would have had my tonsils removed In the ordinary way. I feared surgery too much. Your articles about dia thermy Interested me . . . found our family physician himself had had his tons removed by diathermy at the hands of Doctor ." Three other members of this woman's family have had their tonsils satisfactorily removed by the .same method and the same man. Fifth, a woman says her dentist warned her she has ''thin blood" and she feared the standard tonsillecto Communications . Debate. Not Essay, Wanted To the Editor: Bert Harr has agreed to meet me In debate on the question: "Resolved, that readers of the Medford Dally News are suffering from an overdosa of politics." But there Is a Joker in Mr. Harr s acceptance of my chal lenge he wants to conduct the de bate through the columns of the Mall Tribune. However, I absolutely refuse to be party to a debate con ducted in such manner, for several reasons. First: This challenge was to the readers of the Dally News, many of whom do not read the Mall Tribune If they read the Tribune they would not be like that. Second: In order to show up the foolish side of this political agitation which has a bunch of farmers all worked up Into a frenzy from listen tng to a bunch squeal because they are not on the county payroll the people would have to hear the facts and not the line of bunk peddled by Banks. Third: My Idea Is this. If giving a chance to express It, I will picture before the audience two new govern ments that .are trying to be set up here In Jackson county, one the Good Government Congress, and the other the Bur Association, and I think by the time I show up the good qual ities of these two new governments that most of the audience will be contented to stay with our present form of government. Fourth: The only way to show up the funny aide of this political turm oil to the Dally News readers la to hold these debates In different parts of ,the county. Now If there la any community In the county that wishes to sponsor these- debates and quiet down this political turmoil, let's hear from you. first squeals are first to be fed. I am afraid that my worthy op ponent la getting cold feet. Now Burt If It Is Impossible for you to meet me In different parte of the county, why turn your side or the question to one or two of your loyal brothers or sis ters of this good government congress who wish to carry their spiritual side of this direct to the voters, and gt on the county payroll. If given a chance I will give the low down on who is entirely responsible for the re-election of George Codding and also what clique elected Earl Feb I. Now come on let's go with these debates and put this fire out that makes this political pot boll over. W. N. CARL. FARMER BILL: froa Applegate. A Contrast Prawn To the Editor: Both Banks and Judge Fehl have accused Judge Norton of gmrnlshlng Fehl'e salary as county Judge. There la absolutely not one word of truth to that statement. Parrs attorney la wholly responsible for that garn ishment. Now observe on the other hand the charity, fatrnera and fine Judicial temper of Judge Norton In the face ol this vlUtficatlon and false accusa my. Our old friend, Doctor , has removed her extremely large tonsils compleeely, and she never lost a drop of blood. Sixth, a man says Doctor com pleted the extirpation of his tonsils with 13 diathermy treatment at in tervals of a week. He says no local anesthetic was required, as he didn't mind the application of the needle, He never had enough sore throat to prevent him from taking his regular meals. And so they run. The old fossils ought to snap out of it and give their patients a better break. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Tlie Quack Corner Druggist . , . black specks In front of my eyes on rising . . . asked the drug gist In our neighborhood what he thought.

Ask for "Guide to Bight Eating" and Inclose a dime and a stamped envelope bearing your address. Dlde Pupil Is It necessary to dilate the pupil to examine the eye correctly? (J. B.) Ana. No. Often a more accurate measurement of the vision can be made while the focusing power is temporarily kept at rest by means of drops. It Is only Incidentally that I the drops dilate the pupil. This Is most essential In the measurement of the vision of a younger person. Pimples What la the best thing to clear up pimples? Are these eruptions a sign of impure blood? Would a good blood purifier be available? (J. B. K.) Ana. Bend stamped envelope bear ing your address and mention that you have pimples. The notions of impure blood and blood purifiers are silly.

When Informed that a bill had been presented In the legisla ture to prevent attachment of elect ed officers ealatviea, he said: "I be lieve as a matter of public policy that bill should be passed, It la sound policy that officers should not be hampered In the discharge of public obligations by attachments and ex ecutions."

W. Carlton, league president. A committee of three will be appointed by President Carlton to serve with a like commit tee from the Rogue River Traffic as sociatlon, and to cooperate with the Pacific Pear Council In the hope that all growers and shippers will work together In this Important problem to maintain high standard quality fruit. Many other matters of Interest to growers of fruit In this valley were discussed, Including the possibility of supplying, direct to Interested part its, information which would aid them in solving various production and distribution problems. R. J. Earl waa appointed to make Investigation as to best methods for the dissemin ation of such information. That an appropriation for the maintenance of the experiment sta tlons and extension service would be favorably recommended by the Ways and Means committee, as formerly, was the report received by Mr. Carl ton.

Chapter III. But lately great advances have been made by using the latex Itself for var ious purposes. It Is not too much to say that the use of latex opens up a new world of possibilities for rubber; bo much so that some rubber men wonder whether the Industry did not get off on the wrong foot In the first place when It skimmed the cream off the latex instead of using the whole milk. Rayon, as everybody knows. Is made from cellulose, the cell-stuff of plants. The cellulose Is made from various sources: much of It Is ground-up wood pulp. The ground up cellulose Is chemically treated, and In the form of a thick liquid It Is forced through spinnerets tiny holes from which it emerges as thread, precisely as a spider makes delicate strands of thread by forcing certain raw ' materials in its body through spinnerets. The Strang of the spider hardens on coming In con tact with air. The strands of rayon must be hardened by further chemi cal treatment. I know nothing about the process of making Lastex. It Is patented by the United States Rubber company, and closely guarded. But one need not have much technical knowledge to guess that It la roughly similar to the making of rayon, possibly that rayon suggested the Ideas In the first place, by one of those Imaginative leaps characteristic of Inventors. One may guess that rubber milk or latex is chemically treated and forced through minute holes, coming out aa thread, which is then chemically mm, w sfaii a two week's buying trip to San Fran cisco and Los Angeles, Cal Colorful new merchandise for spring and summer is arriving at tbe Band Box and Shoe Box dally, and accord ing to the Carpenters they selected enough womens and girls dresses, coats, hats and shoes In tbe southern state to outfit all their Rogue River valley customers and more too.

Without a doubt most of the ills of the world are caused by untruth, egotism, prejudice and maliciousness. To be honest, to be fair, to be Just, to be true, Is to win the respect and confidence of all. Without a doubt the wonderful suc cess of the Grange In accomplishing so many of the things (or which it strives is due to the faith, loyalty and work of its members, and with out a doubt the high principles of the Grange has developed a higher and better manhood and womanhood among Its members. "Honesty is in culcated, education nurtured, tem perance supported, brotherly love en couraged and charity is an essential characteristic. Thus are we bound to gether In fraternity." The fraternal spirit of charity and brotherly love was much in evidence at the meeting of the Pomona Grange last .Saturday; for while there waa a great diversity of opinion upon the many questions brought before the Grange, yet the fraternal spirit was undaunted. We have knowledge of but one ex ception to this, and that was In the conduct of that member who hand ed out the publicity to the Mall Tri bune which was published on Sunday morning. Jan. 20. We are not expreslng our opinion of a member who will knowingly and deliberately break the rules of the or ganization, who will so Ignore the re quest of the Worthy Master as to be the one who furnished these state ments to the press, contrary to the rules of the Grange. These are the facts on the matter. A member (not a delegation) offered a resolution to object to the audit of the county books, because of the expense to the county. This member spoke quite lengthily upon the sub ject. Victor Bursell spoke briefly, fa voring the audit, two or three others spoke briefly, for and against. Sever al regretted that this question should have come up before the Grange. A motion came from a member (not a delegation) to postpone Indefinitely, (not to table. The motion carried by a very great majority. They were not napping. They knew what they were doing. They said very plainly that they did not believe the Grange should act on any measure which ws causing such a local political fer ment. The Grange Is an orderly organiza tion, working only for constructive measures. Harmony in the Grange Is Important and It Is seldom lacking. Lack of harmony and dissension would have been the inevitable re sult had the Orange taken action on this matter, either for or against. We regret very much that we have this unauthorized, unfair and pre judiced publicity after every Grange meeting, as It will tend to bring dis cord in the Grange. While we cannot feel that any of our Pomona membe-s who know the regular publicity agent, would feel that we could ce guilty of making such unfair and prejudiced atatements. yet there are some who do not know us so well. might believe that we had author ised such statements. Others who d3 not attend thee meetings take the newspaper accounts for granted. Whnt'i fcft In Coat now esoo. no oo aisoo ETHEL WYN B HOFFMANN. Guaranteed Income For Life! GEO.
