Relief for Jackson County
"THE Daily News complaint because its constructive pro-
gram for the relief of unemployment and economic bet
terment of this community is not given as much publicity, as
its disregard for the law, defiance of the courts, and constant
appeals to mob violence and open sedition.
The answer to that if this:
There can BE no economic recovery here; there can BE no
constructive program realized whether offered by the News
or ANT other paper; until the
THE NEWS ALONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR, has been put
down, and law and order has been restored once more.
It is because the Mail Tribune WANTS relief of unemploy
ment in this community, WANTS a constructive program of eco
nomio recovery, put in force, at the earliest possible moment,
WANTS this community to stop fighting and get together;
that the woll-being and welfare of our people all our people
may be advanced, that the Mail Tribune is and has been
doing everything in its power to put down what renders
SUCH A PROGRAM ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE.
Let peace and sanity be restored in this valley and the Mail
Tribune will not only favor, but aggressively support, any
program of economic or agricultural rehabilitation, which ap
pears to it, practical and wise. Until that is done NOTHING
ean be done!

visited by well known
that we advocate the declaring

behind the bars where they belong.
OAN IT BE things in Jackson County have come to such
a pass, our courage and manhood have fallen so low, that the
citizen of this community oan't THEMSELVES, bring order
out of chaos; can't THEMSELVES through their courts and
the proper law enforcing agencies, restore law and order, and
advertise to the world, that this IS a community, where it is
safe for any self-respecting and law-abiding American citizen
to live I
1I7E DON'T believe it. We refrjse to believe itl The pres-
ent writer has lived in Mcdford for over twenty years,
and w believe we know something about it. We know that
NORMALLY it is one of the finest, most progressive and en
lightened communities in this state, or any other. With
praotioally no alien or illiterate element, with a high quality
of citizenship which is unsurpassed, we know that UNTIL the
News came under its PRESENT management, this district was
not only the just pride of its oitizens, but of the entire state.
And we KNOW what has destroyed that pride, what has
made this community a bye-word up and down the coast, what
has destroyed what legitimate business, the worst depression
in world history, allows, and so does every fair-minded person
who has investigated the situation, AND THAT IS THE
CAMPAIGN OF FALSEHOOD, INTIMIDATION, AND SLAN
DER, WHICH THIS NEWSPAPER HAS CARRIED ON, DAY
IN AND DAY OUT, FOR SO MANY MONTHS. V
TTHE people HAVE been deluded, not all of
many. Their minds have been poisoned so
that some of them came to BELIEVE law and
broken down, WHEN IT HADN'T, and tha1. a corrupt and
lawless gang was in control when it WASN'V And now
because their minds have become so inflamed and their sus
picions so aroused whon law and order is actually on the
point of being broken down: when a gang and a real GANG
threatens to gain control, they FAIL TO SEE IT.
But fortunately this element represents a decided minor
ity. And because they represent a minority and because we
KNOW the rank and file of the people of ihis valley, are sound
in mind and heart, know that they believe in law and order,
know that they trust Judge Norton, and law enforcement
officials under him, and want to uphold them in maintaining
law and order that, we urged them the other day, to stand up
and be counted.
CNCE then a number of good citizens some close personal
friends have come to this office and asked:
"But what can we do I ISN'T it the job of the grand jury
to proteot us from law breakers and scditionists; ISN'T it the
job of the police to arrest them; ISN'T it the job of the juries
to convict them and the oourt to punish them? What can
we do!"
Quite true under normal conditions. But present conditions
are NOT normal, and for several weeks have not been normal.
We live in a democracy. Behind our juries, behind our
police, behind our courts, behind everything in government,
STAND THE PEOPLE. When police engnged in the public
performance of their duty are publicly termed "BANDITS,"
when juries are intimidated
are assailed and defied, there is
martial law which can save the
can save civilization.
THAT IS AN AROUSED
OPINION.
For neither juries, nor police, nor local courts, can defv
public opinion, nor can they be
opinion.
They are not the rulers of the
servants, and they do and should do what the people de
mand of them.

HYPOSULPHITE FOB
Two yetu Ago w quoted her the
hypothejn advanced by a physician
who had succeeded in curing pnt cue,
that Raynaud
dUeaee, common
ly called "dead
finger" or "dead
toei," may be
caufwd by mild
chronic arsenic
poUcmlng. Tha
case cured ap
peared to be of
that nature, the
woman having
worked in
green house tnr
several years. In
green h ouses
spray containing arsenic are much
used against plant pests. In this
particular case analysis showed that
an appreciable quantity of arsenic
was being ' eliminated through the
kidneys. Normally a minute trace of
arsenic Is found in the urine. When
this exceeds a certain arbitrary max
imum It Is fair to assume the pat-
lent Is exposed to arsenlo poisoning.
The remedy which has proved effic
acious In the elimination of arsenic
from the body Is hyposulphite ot
soda, or as It was formerly called,
thlosulphate of soda. It Is given by
Injection Into a vein, In the aver
age dose of one gram (approximate
ly 15 grains) twice a week for two
or three months. The sodium hypo
sulphite may be taken Internally
in the average dose of 10 to 30
grains, in sweetened water or a flav
ored syrup, after food, once or twice
a day for a period of two weeks.
Indeed, this use or hyposulphite In
ternally has been recommended as a
good remedy for the headache and
other after-effects of mild carbon
monoxide gas poisoning.
The pnysiclan who originally sug
gested that Raynaud's affection may
be due to chronic arsenic poisoning.
Dr. Arthur P. Kraetser, has added to
his first case the clinical reports of
several other cases of Raynaud's In
which marked relief followed the In
travenous injection of sodium hypo
sulphite as described. Incidentally
the treatment brought relief to some
other conditions which are often
noted In persona suffering with
chronic arsenic poisoning, notably
obstlnaw eczema and pruritus.

dead fingers, dead toes, dead ears

The Houdini of Textiles
Science has perfected something brand new In textiles Last ex an
elastic fabric that can be made Into everything from stictchahle socks
to suspenders and bathing suits, and which should help Hie Textile
. Industry out of the slump of hnrd times. .
CHAPTER IV.
Then this new lasting elastic tex
tile popped up. It was tried out first
of aU In corsets, merely because this
was Its most obvious use. Immedi
ately It made new kinds of corsets
possible. The lightest, filmiest, silk
iest fabrics could be used fabrics as
Adaptable to Individual taste as the
chameleon to Its background. They
were stretchable both ways, hence
stayed in place and gave full scope for
athletic activities. They could be
washed as often as the wearer pleased
without losing their elasticity. In
other words, they met a need In a
new, unique, sound fashion.
What happened? Depression or no
depression, an astonishingly large
number of women bought the new
corsets. Apparently they felt that
here was something so worth while
they had to have It. An army of
new corset users was created among
the same athletic misses who by
merely turning up their noses prev
iously had brought devastation to
the corset Industry.
I am told that within a single
year since It was first tried the new
textile has been adopted In 87 per
cent of all better-grade corsets. And
I am assured that within that year
many a big manufacturer has been
able to lift himself right out ot the
red Inkwell and Jump into the black
one.
That corset manufacturers were
Jubilant over this unexpected salva
tion goes without saying. So were
the makers and distributors of the
new textile. But this was only the
beginning for them.
There was hosiery. Here the new
textile was used first for the tops
of stockings and men's socks aa well.

DEAD FINGERS
I
may be correct for only certain cases.
Here are some of the symptoms
which warrant at least a suspicion of
chronic arsenic poisoning, which is
generally of occupational origin, but
sometimes from accidental contamin
ation of food or drink, and some
times, from taking .medicine which
contains arsenic.
Frequent mild coryzas, blepharitis
(Inflammation of eyelids), dry sore
throat, pruritus and various obstin
ate skin eruptions, from eczema to
shingles, anemia, pallor, tingling sen
sations or actual neuritis, areas of
numbness in the extremities, sharp
attacks of pain along a nerve, loss
of appetite, and obscure disturbances
ot the nervous system.
Blind Guessing
Does a nervous breakdown cause
one to have dimness of vision, feel
ing of weight on head, poor mem
ory, spots . . .? (Mrs. R. H.)
Answer I know of no such-, ali
ment or condition as "nervous
breakdown," neither does any other
physician. That Is just a term used
to conceal Ignorance. I advise you
not to attempt to diagnose your own
trouble. Tell your symptoms to your
physician, and leave It to him to de
termine what causes them.
It rajs To He Sure
Last spring I wrote to you for In
formation on piles, as I thought that
was my trouble. What you told me
made me go to my doctor. He found
the trouble was not piles, but a fis
sure. He gave It two simple treat
ments and ended the trouble, from
which I had suffered a great deal
for several years. I owe you this
acknowledgement. (R. O. A.)
Answer Probably most 'cases of
presumptive "piles" are in reality
something else and treatment taken
on the blind guess can only do harm.
Charleyhorse
Please explain what Is a "charley
horse."? (W, H.)
Answer Rupture or tear of muscle
cell walls, or a tearing of muscle
fiber from its attachment to bone
or tendon. It causes a lump which
may be felt or even seen, and this
takes a month to disappear, leaving
a little scar In the muscle which
may . Impair the elasticity of the
muscle. Such Injuries are most like
ly to happen during unaccustomed
effort, or when an amateur athlete
attempts a severe effort without
having first "warmed up" by prelim
inary moderate exercise, especially In
cold weather.
It eliminates In many cases the need
for garters, and, what is more, its
elasticity outlasts the stockings. And
when garters are used the stocking
tops are Immune to runs.
The next step was to make mesh
stockings entirely of the new textile.
Every woman knows the sinking
feeling that comes when a nice new
pair of hose Is ruined by a run the
first time they are put on. This
stocking, like Calvin Coolldge, sim
ply says, quietly but firmly: "I do
not choose to run," and that's an
end of that. And, curiously enough.
Its elasticity Improves with washing,
so that the longer It is worn the
better It fits. Woolen golf hose for
men and women come next. Here
also garters are eliminated and with
them the need for a turned-down
cuff. Surgical hose also are now
made of Lastex.
Enthusiasts believe the possibili
ties for tho new textile In feminine
undorwear are very great. A begin
ning was made with waist and knee
bands for step-ins, or whatever they
are called these days. Then elastic
lace mesh was Introduced in the
form of delicate dainty panels. Fin
ally an all-Last ex affair was made
that does double duty, r am Inform
ed, aa corset and slip. Other gar
ments have a full Lastex back and
a front of some other textile. Bras
sieres of this material combine fllm
Iness with firmness.
There are various more or less
troublesome things about hats. For
one thing, the store has to keep a
large number of sizes in stock. For
another, even If a woman gets the
right else, she may wear her hair
In such a way that the hat doesn't
fit comfortably; it must be broken
In to fit her head.

the main part of the program. Fol
lowing the pledge, the commander as
signed his men to individual squads,
each sqund under the command of a
corpal. To each corporal was provid
ed a list of men eligible for member
ship In the Legion and certain names
of members who had not yet paid
their 1933 dues. The corporal and
his squad then proceeded to contact
personally th veteran assigned tc
them.
Instructions provided that nota
tions and a report should be made
of all veterans found to be out of
employment and their families In
need. A written report upon each
name given the corporal was to be
made. At 10:00 p. m., post command
ers were to report to their respective
district commanders and they In turn
to their area commanders and they to
the department commander in San

Banks Flayed By BiU
To the Editor:
Aa my challenge to debate the sub
ject, "resolved that the reader of
th Dally New are suffering from an
overdose of political bunk," has gone
unanswered, and th political tur
moll l growing, I'll change the sub
J set and Issue a new challenge to
debate the following: Resolved, that
the leader of th Good Government
Congress are a bunch of political of
fice seekers."
It seem some citizen with good
intention are beginning to take ser
iously the political hooey that the
leaders of the congress" spread.
In order to get the facts to the
people before the "congress" goes too
far and gets the county overrun with
spies. I d like to debate some of these
so-called Good Government congress
leaders. In this debate I'll seek to
show the following:
1 That L. A. Bank and the Dally
News are entirely responsible for the
re-election of George Codding.
3 That the Mall Tribune 1 en
tirely responsible for the election of
Earl Fehl.
3 Thatfi. A. Bank and the Daily
News, with other publications over
the state sold out the dairy Industry
Just before the election for a few pal
try dollar and made us dairymen
compete with coolie labor. (This is
why I am a squealer and why I am
willing to drive miles to help to edu
cate the dairymen aa to hi needs. I
can't see what alls Ihe dairymen of
Jackson county. Most of them will
not spend one penny to come out to
a dairy meeting or take any interest
in trying to protect their own Indus
try, but will drive mile and spend
dollar In trying to form a new poli
tical party to help some loud-mouth
get a political office.)
4 That the natural resources of
the state belong to the people and If
there is any profit to be derived
therefrom It should go back to the
people and not to a special privilege
class.
8 That h. A. Banks and the Dally
New belong In the special privilege
class because they are getting away
with thing with the power company
that we little fellows would be shut
of Immediately for.
6 That L. A. Bank endorsed about
seven of the mythical "gang" before
the primary but was harping about
the "gang" long before th primary
and ever since. That he ha kicked
them all In the seat of the pant ex
cept one and this one's turn Is com
ing 'next.
7 That L. A. Banks wrote an open
'letter of apology and no one knows
how many secret apologies he has
made.
8 That L. A. Banks i only a poli
tician, and office seeker and a dan
gerous man for the public to follow.
I will be glad to speak in any com
munity that want to be fair and in
form Itself on both sides. X am a
farmer and dairyman, myself and I
want to warn my fellow farmers
against coolie labor and other evils
that would come from following Mr.
Banks.

Answers C J. Conner
To the Editor:
Z read in your paper a communica
tion of Mr. C. J. Conner, Star Route,
Box 80, and I respectfully requested,
personally, permission to answer this
communication through your col
umns. I appreciate your granting
my request.
Mr. C. J. Conner,
Star Route, Box 85, Ashland. ;
Dear Sir: Aa you asked me to an
swer some questions that you placed
In your communication in th pa
per, I will endeavor to do so in my
simple way.
Question 1. Ye, I know there are
two law of the land one was given
by the people of- Vie United States,
the other was God's law which Is
spiritual.
Question 3. A great many times I
have thought and resolved and af
firmed within my own mind to live
a law abiding citizen. I should af
firm the first law. Second, I have
also affirmed that I should obey the
spiritual law but I am ashamed to
say I have not.
Question S. I believe I do know
right from wrong.
Question 4. must confess that I
am not awrc of corrupt law for I
have z,o master mind.
Question 5. Do you mean the writ
ten laws by man or do you mean the
spiritual laws written and inspired
by the writings of God?
Question 6. If the people were
guided by a sense of right they
would not have tolerated the sedi
tious and Inciting and inflammatory
remarks which were made in the
"Good Government Congress" meet
ings. In those meetings with the
flag ot stars and stripes stretched
across th room when I heard those
remarks It made me blu&h.
I am not attacking any good gov
ernment movement, but I am saying
to tnose wno made those remarks
that they were Insulting the Intelli
gence of our people and our flag. I
would rather have seen the old flag
dragged through your room than
hear some fermented brains of Ignor
ance make the remarks and Insult
the flag that X honor.
Question 7. I want to admit that
I am not possessed with enough In
telligence to be a lawmaker, further
more I do not question th law that
are made by man. I cannot question
the spiritual law that were written.
Inspired by the hand of God.
Question 8. I do not question the
measure that were placed upon the
ballot of the election November 8,
1033. I would like to remark that I
voted as Intelligently as I could. I
did not remain away from the poll
and not cast my vote of my honest
convictions.
To prolong this answer to your
question and a you paraphrase "not
just the city of Medford." I am no
judge and, as the scripture states.
"Judge not for fear Vist y shall be
Judged." For that reason I will not
question the Intelligence of Medford
to say whether they knew they were
voting right or wrong. I will say
that if all of the people would try
and dictate what should become a
law there are some who have not
enough Interest to go to the polls
and vote. We hav to leave It to
the brain of our countrymen to
max our Jaws and have moral cour- I
age enough to make the Ignorant
abide by them.
Yes, I made the remark that law j
and order had broken down in Jack-'
on county because ot the Insult
which were thrown at my flag by
ignorance. I have checked this situ
ation. I went before the grand jury
diy you? I went before your hon
orable county Judge and county oourt
of Jackson county. In another ar
ticle that I wrote In the MaU Trib
une you will read what I think of
your county Judge. I don't want
to repeat what naa already been said,
but I will add to the controversy
with his action questioning tbe laws
of this state, I have nothing but
contempt for him. I covered the
ground of what I thought was right
and what I thought was wrong.
I am not like L. A. Banks and
Earl H. FeJl to come before the pub
Uo with personal grievances to cor
rect any wrong that anyone has
placed upon them. I will further
state and repeat I care not person
sonally tor any official
or hi personal grievances, but
when I listen to remarks made oy
your county Judge, Earl H. Fehl,
that he "does not give a damn for
the laws, he 1 going to take It to
the people," the people made these
law. I he going to continue to
make an effort to Inflame the minds
of this public wltrh bis personal
grievance?
You advise me to go and read oth
er law beside the syndicalism law.
If you are an Interested citizen and
know of any law that Is being broken,
get your witnesses, go before the
grand Jury, and if you have a clear
case and that grand Jury does not
Indict the lawbreaker, then they have
violated their oath by not returning
an Indictment. Now you say get down
to judge Fehl. I don't want to take
the time and space to go further and
repeat what I have said about your
county Judge, but I made it clear In
my other article that I am not seek
ing for my Ideas to work. I am seek
ing for the protection of our laws
of this country.
Don't make an effort and throw
mud upon the escutcheon of tbe
good people of Medford that they are
all moral cowards and cannot take
care ot themselves. I dare say that
the grand Jury has been muddled
up by a lot of hooey and they are
at sea to know what to do.
Question 0. Yes, I believe a man
ha a right to sit In court who has
been placed there by law. I do not
believe It Is necessary to prolong
this controversy In stating to you
how law are made the laws that
protect your home and property.
You mention those Inalienable
right guaranteed by the Declaration
of Independence. I will state that
brains made the Declaration ot Inde
pendence and put It Into action and
I am too simple minded myself to
question their Integrity.
You suggest that I read the Ten
Commandments, which I iiave done;
but I am not the Moses to lead some
people out of the wilderness of ig
norance and Into the land ot Canaan,
but I am In hopes that the laws of
our country will be a Moses which
will lead us out of the wilderness of
this tourmoll and place us before the
eyes of the public that we are not
trying to overthrow this government.
You state should we be governed
by the will of our people. Study up
how this form of government is es
tablished by the people and the rep
resentative who are - racking their
brains today to study out the eco
nomic situation of the country and
not settle any personal grievances.
You ask the question how I atand:
I will state that I stand for law
and order and that, anyone who makes
an effort to stir a community with
seditious remarks should bo taken
care of by tho people.

Answers Mr. Conner
TO the Editor:
In a communication in last night s
Tribune we noticed that the writer,
Mr. Conner feels that the Dahack
case was never fairly investigated and
seems to know who shot Mr. Dahack.
It spear to me that If Mr. Conner
has a much Information as he lets
on he should give It to the present
grand Jury which la now in session.
We would alio ask Mr. Conner, if
Nealon should resign, how we would
go about It to fiU his place?
Wouldn't the two remaining mem
bers of the county court have to ap
point a man In his place?
And would the new appointment be
any more the choice of the people
than the present one?

Jenkins' Comment
(Continued from Page One)
cent comes from license fees And
gasoline tax.
License fees In 1930, the - latest
year for which figures are avail
able, provided 32.6 per cent of all
the highway revenue and gasoline
taxes 32.8 per cent.
The gasoline tax, you see. has be
come more Important aa a producer
of revenue than the license fee.
SO FAR as known, every state In
the Union now levies license
feee nd gasoline taxes, but all of
them don't use the revenue thus
rolm exclusively for highway con
struction and maintenance. Sixteen
of the states are diverting a part of
this revenue to other purposes.
Schools are the principal benefic
iary of the sums diverted from li
cense fees and gasoline taxes. One
state. Maryland, uses one-fifth of all
the money It collecta from motorists
In license fees and gasoline taxes for
OYSTER PROPAGATION.
Maybe they figure In Maryland
that since the motorist likes to atop
at roadhouaes and eat oysters he
ought to pay for propagating them.
This writer hopes that in Oregon
we shall eiways continue to use ALL
the money we collect from motorists
In the form of license fees and gaso
line taxes for the building and main
tenance of highways.
