What Are We Coming to!
CHORTLY after the editorial below was written, this newa
paper was informed that following the meeting of the Good
Government Congress at the court house last night THE
COURT HOUSE WAS BROKEN INTO, THE VAULT WAS
SMASHED AND BALLOTS, CAST FOR SHERIFF AT THE
LAST ELECTION, WERE STOLEN I
Yesterday the court ruled NOT Judge Norton, but Judge
SKIPWORTH of Lane county, that former Sheriff Jennings'
demand for a recount was valid, and the recount was ordered
at 8 o'clock this morning. These ballots had to be kept intact,
or the recount ordered could not be carried out. NOW WE
ASK THE PEOPLE OF JACKSON COUNTY TO WHOSE
INTEREST IT WAS THAT THESE BALLOTS SHOULD BE
STOLEN, AND THIS RECOUNT DISMISSED!
e
fK of course, we know, and everyone else knows I The Good
Government Congress will deplore this lawlessness and
violence. Unlets we are much mistaken the official organ of
this congress will cry out for law and order again, and demand
the "dastardly culprits" be brought to justice.
YESt
But we repeat who BENEFITED BY THIS OUTRAGE.
Was it the diabolical work of
believe even the spokesmen of
will so insult the intelligence of
as to try to put THAT over.
What "gang" was itf For
SOME gang,
We will answer that: It was
law and order in this county, it
prevent the best sheriff Jackson
he was the ohoice of the people
election.
It was the gang that goes
darkness to break into our court house and steal if need be
MURDER it was a lawless gang, a desperate gang, and in
a community where cries for a rope and threats of violence
and bloodshed have repeatedly been made, this gang at last,
so all can SEE, SHOWED ITS HAND 1
If thero is anyone in this county, who is not awake NOW
to the dangers that confront them, can't see the gun that is
aimed at the very heart of what we call civilization, isn't willjng
to stand behind our courts and our publio officials and aid them
in putting down such a band of gunmen and criminals, then
what in the name of decency and common sense, OAN awake
them!
"Right and Wrong!"
"Now there Is but one question Involved In this matter.
The question of right and wrong.
If our publio officials are right, they are bound to win.
If they are wrong, they are bound to lose.
Time alone la the great leveler."
Medford Dally News.
Here is a statement which this paper heartily endorses. In
fact in slightly different wordB, the Mail Tribune expressed the
same sentiment, in this oolumn only a short time ago.
The issue IS between what is right and what is wrong.
It IS between what is true and what is false.
It IS between upholding the courts and law enforcing agen
cies of this community, and botween supporting an organization
whose members call for a rope, admit they go about the county
armed, and through intimidation, threats of violence and abuse,
try to destroy our courts, and render the enforcement of law,
IMPOSSIBLE 1
IF these things are right if it IS right to threaten violence
and bloodshed, if it IS right, to call for the overthrow of
our local government, If it IS right, to call peace officers en
gaged in their proper duties, "bandits," and threaten to kill
them, if they dare serve papers, in the regular performance of
their duties, then the Medford News is right, and sooner or
later, is bound to win.
Time alone IS the great leveler!
"HUE time has come, as we have stated bofore, for the people
of Jackson county to rise on their hind legs, and be
COUNTED!
To let the world know whother they believe in law and
order, or believe in lawlessness and anarchy, whether they want
this government to be a government of, for and by the people ;
or a government of, for and by, one man in it, L. A. Bunks 1
That is the issue, and it is an issue that must be fought out
to a finish and fought out now.
It must be fought by an aroused and enraged public opinion,
which will stand by the courts; stand by our jury system,
stand by these duly elected and honest "publio officials," who
are doing everything in their, power to put down the forces of
violence and insurrection, ..establish law and order, and make
this valloy once more a safe and decent place in which to live.
Another Lie Nailed
IN this samo artiole closing as above, declaring the issue to be
between right and wrong, the Daily News justifies its charge
against the local government, the courts, the jury system, the
peace officers, and our publio officials, by repeating the same
charges it has been making, almost day by day, for months,
in fact for years.
We haven't space to take up all these charges, but they
will be taken up in a news article on the front page of this issue.
We will take only one at random, and leave it to the pcoplo
of this county to decide whether the presentation of this chso,
is right or wrong, whether the charges made arc true or false.
To quote:
"We witness the circuit Judge of this Judicial district sppearlng
before a grand Jury and charging a eltlaen with criminal libel
and criminal syndicalism."
This refers of course to Judge Norton. What is the TRUTH t
, The truth is Judge Norton did NOT appear before the grand
juryj the grand jury with its final report to make, appeared
before HIM as the LAW provides.
Judge Norton did NOT charge a citizen ANY citizen,
with eriminal libel and criminal syndicalism. He did report to
that jury, the conditions existing in this county, as it was his
SWORN DUTY TO DO, and that is ALL that he did.
Ho brought NO charges. He mentioned NO names, but he
DID, deplore the conditions existing; he did' urge upon the
the Medford gangt We don't
the Good Government Congress
the pcoplo of Jackson county,
it obviously was the work of
the GANG, trying to overthrow
was the GANG determined to
county ever had, showing that
of this community at the last
armed, willing under cover of
people of this community the necessity of preserving Jaw and
order, be did declare violations of law had been occurring, and
were occuring, and he mentioned those violations".
That was his duty not only as a good judge, but as a good
citizen. If he had done anything less he would have been false
to his trust, derelict in his duty.
"THAT is only another example of how this morning news-
paper distorts the facts, takes a thread of truth and
weaves it into a malicious and destructive falsehood, for one
purpose and one alone, to so poison the publio mind, that it
may destroy our courts, crucify an honest and fearless judge,
and through abuse and intimidation, put itself above the
courts, above the law, and become the ABSOLUTE DICTATOR
OF JACKSON COUNTY.
THERE is the issue. And it
holding our government, as it exists, and destroying it.
And we know Jackson county well enough to know that
every right thinking person, every law abiding citizen, will
accept this challenge, will stand up and be counted, on the side
of right against wrong, of the truth against falsehood, between
preserving and maintaining this government of ours and
DESTROYING it!

he was 30 years old he had managed

nativity showed itse.l by the great
shortness of breath and lethargy of

he could possibly avoid It. Clothing

more than clothing for a normal

day was a ripe old age. 73 years, and
left to posterity his famous essay on
health and long life, from 'Chloh Dr.
Osier often quoted.
Today the age of sixty would be
early enough to begin to lessen the
quantity of food, and for many men

business or at their regular occupa

unwise to change the dietary habits
unless these have been wrong right
along.
Young persons may experiment
with dieting without much risk of
fatal crsequences (except the light

Hoover Accepts Challenge
Dear Billy Carl:
I thought Brother Harr had you
up a tree but I see by the paper
that you are out on another ram
page for a debate. I hereby accept
your challenge. ' Do not remember
what you wanted to debate about,
but It really makes no difference.
As - to my qualifications, first, I
went cut with Bill Bolger before he
waa elected as president of the
Chamber of Commerce. We debated
Chet Wendt and Henry Conger: we
were defeated. However, Bill put up
such a good talk that they elected
him president of the Chamber of
Commerce. I next promoted a debate
with the Humane society. This was
a Uttlti too fast for me so I called
It off. I won a moral victory, how
ever, for no more coons are to be
killed with sticks In this county.
I next met with Henry Neldermeyer
and we debated Conger and Barnes
on the sales tax. These two gentle
men put up such a good argument
on the sales tax that they not only
won the debate, but I went with
Mr. Conger to debate State Master
Gill, taking the affirmative on the
subject. We stayed through this de
bate but when Brother Bill began
to shed tears about taxes, we were
all In favor of abolishing all taxes.
Conger got a trip to the legislature
and ate with Ed Kelly while there,
for his wonderful showing on ora
tory against the state master.

A Paradox
Keeping up the standard of living is one of America's 10 biggest problems, says Prof. William Fielding
Ogburn. One way to help do It Is by working out an economic organization that will Increase the capacity
to purchase along with the capacity to produce, he says, citing how America has bulging stores of food
such as those above while long lines of unemployed go hungry and their standard of living Is reduced..
This la the ninth of a series of
articles in which Prof. William Field
ing Ogburn of the University of Chi
cago discusses what he considers the
10 biggest problems facing America.
By William Fielding Ogburn
Research Director, President's Com
mittee on Recent Social Trends
(Written for The Associated Press)
The problem with regard' to the
standard of living In the next few
years will be to prevent It from be
ing lowered.
We probably ahall be slow in com
ing out of the present depression.
It may take from one to three or
four years, In which case the eco
nomic forces will be driving down
the living standards. It has taken
a long time to bring them to the
present level.
For 10 or 15 years following the
opening of the century the change
in the standard of life was very
slow for the wage earners. It moved
up more rapidly during the war
period and thereafter. It would cer
tainly be a loss to mankind If the
gains of a third of a century should
be lost In the few years of the pres
ent depression.
Sharing Jobs a Necessity
A plan for sharing work by those
who have Jobs with those who have
none Is a necessary measure for
meeting the terrible ravages of the
present unemployment, but it should
not be allowed to serve as a device
for keeping the income down after
the depression Is over.
For those out of work the stan
dard of living already has fallen
precipitously. The aim here should
be to maintain a minimum standard
of living.
During the next few years the
problem will be particularly acute
for the hundreds of thousands and
perhaps millions of unemployed who
are very near the retiring age and
never will be employed again.
Problem For Young People
It Is also serious for the young
that Is the recall with ballota as
weapons. Then, after the ballota are
cast, let that decide the matter.
Or, if any of our officers are guilty
of malfeasance In office, bring forth
the evidence and proof and let's con
vict them through the grand Jury
and courts up to the state supreme
court, if necessary. Then, If Jack
son county's 19.000 voters think that
Banks is right, .they can rally to him
as a solid unit. If they all think he
is wrong they can unite against him.
This is the only sane way to handle
the matter. We do not know these
men Norton, Codding and Nealon
but until they , are convicted of the
crimes charged by Banks, or are put
out of office by the recall, we would
hate to think that they are yellow
enough to resign and run at the first
sign of danger. They must not do
that, and we don't think they will.
We reiterate Banks MAY be right
but let us resort either to the re
call or i take the case to the state
supreme court, and then, if Banks Is
right, we are for him 100 per cent.
In the meantime, those accused
should pay no attention whatever to
threat and should completely Ignore
the so-called Good Government lea
gue. We repeat. If Banks can furnish the
evidence, we are for trying these men
in the supreme court, or, resort to the
recall.
But people who place a bomb, fire
a shot or attempt to banish by harsh
methods any of these men. must set
tle matters with a company of sol
diers. ,Ave warn don't any of you be the
dupe of a self-appointed leader! The
only lawful weapons are the recall
and the courts. Harsher methods
will be met by a bunch of our United
States regulars, drawn up In business
formation.
Let's be sane use the recall or the
courts or keep si!ent. Tou can't win
by violence so long as the United
States stands. A TAXPAYER.

BIGGEST
PROBLEMS
Poverty In The Midst Of Plenty
people who have been out of high
school three, four, or five years and
have been given no opportunity to
form habits of thrift, skill and am
bition because of lack of employ
ment.' When the present crisis la past,
but let us hope not forgot, the great
task will be to raise the standard
of living.
Many times In history the fight
fcr more of the good things, of life
has led to revolution and appropria
tion of land and property from those
who have by those who have not.
"Redistributing Wealth One Way"
The simplest way of raising the
standard of living seems to be to
redistribute wealth. This has been
the constant theme of radicals, but
now a new program has arisen show
ing that by Increasing production
and distribution the standard of liv
ing will also be raised.
If all of the wealth of the world
were divided equally among every
one, the rise In the standard of liv
ing, would only be slight and per
haps temporary, but if an economic
organization can be worked out so
that more goods are produced and
distributed, the standard of living
may be Increased more effectively.
The present depression has thrown
a new light on this problem for now
we have plenty of production and
bulging warehouses, but a lowered
standard of living and hungry men.
' The problem is to work out an
economic organization s6 the capac
ity of purchase will flow along at
the same rate as the capacity to pro
duce. If this problem can be solved
the danger of regression to the
standards of misery of earlier times
will be removed and prospects of a
much higher standard of living will
be In sight
Favorable Factors Cited
There are a number of favorable
factors. One la the fact that we
have prohibited Immigration and

more slowly than it was. If we have

Of The Good
Things Of Life
fewer people among whom to divide
the gains, each will get more.
The second favorable factor Is that -our
natural resources will be plen
tiful for at least a decade and prob
ably for a much longer time.
The third favorable factor la In
vention and technological develop
ment, which gives every prospect of
yielding a greater and greater pro
duction of wealth. With these three
factors favorable If the economic
organization can be made to func
tion better. It ought to be possible
to contemplate within the lives ol
perhaps many of the readers a much
higher standard of living for moat
of our countrymen far above the
poverty level.
Other Problems Stand Out
Two other problems should be
mentioned. One Is to try to raise
the standard of living In those few
regions less favorable situated as,
for Instance, in outlying towns and
villages, and among the sub-marginal
farms. The second problem
deals with a certain percentage of
mankind who still will remain the
victims of accident and circum
stances. For these more In the way
of provision of social Insurance
against disease, unemployment and
old age will be needed.
On the whole the outlook Is very
dark for the next few years and will
demand the Intelligent application
of all of the forces of society, but
in the long run the prospect Is bright
for a world without poverty.
Tomorrow: "Happiness A Public
Policy." The moat cherished desire
of many Is happiness, says Profes
sor Ogburn. although little Is known
about that elusive state of being.
Solving the problems of family re
lationship Is the most important step
toward happiness, he asserts. The
development of a wide-spread pro
gram of mental hygiene also will help
bring people closer to this will o'
the wisp, he saya in his last article
tomorrow.
