Somebody promised to lend money
who had no authority to make any
such promise. It la oald, "We have

there might be something ot a, moral

know, Mr. President, and God knowa,
that they did not do anything to win
the war. It was easy enough for any
set of men to go out and organise a
new government, like that ot the
Hodjas. Nobody knows where they
were when they formed tt, or Just
whta they had, but they organised a
new government and declared war
against Germany, and then they came
to the United States federal treasury
and got nearly all the money they

But at the last election what

a representative of the privileged press trying to defeat, "a
champion of law and order, the stalwart friend of the down

It may be interesting to repeat what this paper said a few
days before the November election:
' "Unless the people as a whole unite behind Pop Gates, Fehl .

And again:
"A vote for Fehl will keep this community disrupted and
embroiled for an Indefinite period ln the future. Such a vote
will be a publlo declaration that false charges are believed, that

THE GERMS WE CARS
Long years ago, I gather from th
attitude of the old-timer, there was
complete accord, ln the profession ln
reference to cold.
tVll good doctors
believed that ex
posure to cold or
chilling caused
pneumonia, bron-
ohltls, tore
throat, tubercu
losis, rheumatism,
grip, distemper,
catarrh or what
had you. Then
some radical
freak, nut, fad
ctist or cheap
oensatlon seeker.
Just to be different, conceived the
notion that maybe something else
might be concerned us the causation
of colds, and this wild Idea seemed
to stow as our knowledge of bactert-
olotrr and pathology Increased, until
eventually the profession aoceptea me
theory that such limessea arc or in
fectious character, that is, they are
caused by the Invasion of the tissues
by germs.
With the general acceptance of this
theory It became necessary to dispose
of the original assumption that cold
or chilling was the" essential cause of
the Illnesses mentioned, so we pny-
slclans, always resourceful, began to
explain to the dumb laity that the
exposure to cold or wet or tne enm
lng mode the tissues more vulner
able and then the germs hopped In
and attacked.
This amended theory served pretty
well for a while. Then some more
radicals, nuts, wild theorists, cheap
publicity seekers or something began
to ask how come the germs are al
ways at hand to hop In and attack
when the poor victim happens to
get wet or chilled.
so It became necessary to amena
the amendment by just suggesting
that everybody goes about with a
complete assortment of all the more
popular germs ln his nose or throat
at all times, and thus cold draft or a
low fog la all that is necessary to
bring about the bacterial Invasion or
Infection.
This amended amendment Is still
doing service for many of our comic
opera health commissioners and oia
Coast medical authorities. But there
Is Just one little flaw ln tt which 1

no scientific support whatever. It is

HOW WE APPEAR IN
EYES OF JHJTSIDERS
TUB JACKSON COCNTV ROW
The Jackson county row has reached the pitch where reason must
return or martial law prevail. M It
danger lives and property.
Perhaps the court order taking the control of the Medford News from
Lewellyn Banks on foreclosure proceedings will tend to restore pence and
tranquility. It goes without saying that Banks' ownership of the news
paper has not been In the Interest of harmony. The policy of the news
paper has been Inflammatory; and It seems to have succeeded ln arraying
neighbors against neighbors.
As a matter of fact the causes underlying the Jackson county hysteria
ore personal and political. There Is no fundamental Issue between tne
people. There Is no reason why peace, cannot return If the responsible
citizens of the county so will It,
Jackson county's row Is an example of what a newspaper publisher
ean accomplish, who puts prejudice rather than reason at the helm.
(Albany Democtat Herald),
TWO STATUES
whether or not the state police
other day they would be affairs seem to be approaching a showdown In
Jackson county. And, from the looks of things, the state troopers will be
about the onlv officers of the law outside the Jail or not under bond when
the Investigation Is completed. The list of officers arrested now Includes
the sheriff, a Jailor, the mayor of Rogue River, a Mcdrord policeman and
the county Juilce.
When Jackson county . troubles are finally all Ironed out, the people
down there ought to erect two memorials one to the man or men found
guilty of stealing the election ballots and the other to the state cops. The
former monument will be merited because the ballot theft brought on tne
Investigation and the second because the Investigation will have been
efficiently carried out. (Eugene News).
TITLE MISPLACED
Antnrently the trouble through which Jackson county has been com
piled to wnllow during these last
The newspaper, edited by L. A. Banks during that time and which has
been pretty largely responsible for the turmoil, Is to be turned back to Its
former owners. At this distance, it Is pretty hard to discover Just what
all the trouble was about. Perusal of the Banks newspaper during these
last few weeks has not served to enlighten this writer. It seems that
Hanks thought he had been Injured and mistreated In some manner or
other but he teemed to fall to tet forth Just exactly wherein and whereby
such alleged miscarriage of Justice had taken place.
The newspaper fraternity need make no apology. "Editor" Banks Is
an orcharrtlst who bought and ran a newspaper. The result has been not
dissimilar to what might happen if a plumber were to take over and carry
on the practice of a tkllled surgeon. The title of "editor" was misplaced.
(Roseburg News Review).

The newspaper phase of Jackson county's amailng controversial mess
came to a climax Saturday when, through mortgage foreclosure, Uwellyn

Comment.
on the
D Ay's News
By FRANK JENKINS
It YOU'RE a full-grown man, with
whiskers on your chin and the
smell of pipe smoke on your breath,
you probably tell yourself that you
know what you want that nobody
else makes YOUR decision for YOU.
So listen to this: -
"Eighty per cent of the men who
come to this store to buy clothes for
themselves bring their wives along,
and It la toe wives who really do the
picking."
The apeaker la an outstanding
clothing man of Southern Oregon.
These men folks aren't so big and
bold and self-reliant as they like to
think, are they?
M-p HERE isn't one man ln a bun
1 dred," this olothler continues,
"who can walk right Into a store
and pick out a hat tor himself,
When It conies to buying hats, men
Just simply haven't any confidence
In themselves at all.
"So they bring their wives along
nearly always. And -ere'a a secret:
About three times out of four, the
man would get a better loklng bat li
he left It up to the salesman In
stead of leaving It up to his wife."
Turn that over ln your minds,
girls.
t
BUT If you're Inclined to be burned
up about It, please don't take It
out ot the clothing man. If you
just have to Jump on somebody, jump
on this writer for letting the cat
out of the bag.
And go right on picking out your
husband's hats. You can do a bet
ter Job of It than he can and be
sides he's secretly glad to be able to
push the responsibility oft onto you
After you've done the picking, you
see, you can't tell blm how terrible
he looks ln it.
TAKING K'a word for It and aa
sumlng that some eight out of
ten men are Influenced by their
wives In the choice of their clothes,
let's see It there's any suob thing as
reciprocity In this busband and wife
business. Do the men help pick out
their wives' clothes?
A big Southern Oregon ready-to-
wear dealer says not.
"Not one woman ln a hundred,"
he says, "brings her husband along
to help pick out a dress."
WHEN. It comes to clothes, at least,
the. women know their own
minds better than the men. This
writer, by the way, has a notion that
they know their own minds better
ALL the time.
This, of course. Is strictly confi
dential, and for heavens sake don't
mention It to a soul. A statement
like this could get a fellow Into a
lot of trouble.
WHILE we're on the subject of buy
ing and selling, here are some
rather Interesting figures about milk:
"At the present time, much 4 per
cent milk Is being produced and sold
at a price of $1.50 per 100 pounds.
In eaclt hundred pounds, there are
46.4 quarts ot milk. Thus the pro
ducer receives (leas hauling and oth
er charges) and the distributor pays
3.33 cents per quart.
Much of thla milk la sold at
wholesale at S cents a quart. For
pasteurizing, bottling, delivering, col
lecting, loss of bottles, loss ot ac
counts, overhead, wages and profit,
the milk distributor receives -.77
cents per quart.
"It Is very doubtful If 4 per cent
milk can be produced at 8.33 cents
per quart also It la very doubtful If
any distributor can profitably deliver
milk at a total return of 3.77 cents
per quart. However, It la being done
on several of Oregon's larger mar
kets." These figures, by the wsy, are
vouched for by Paul O. Adams, execu
tive secretary of the Oregon Dairy
Council.
JUST for tun, iet'a make a Uttle
comparison.
For pasteurising, bottling, deliver
ing, collecting, loss of bottles, loss of
accounts, overhead, wages and profit
on a quart ot milk, the distributors
are getting 3.77 cents.
For Just delivering a letter across
town, the government of the United
States gets THREE cents.
Either the milk distributors are
doing a marvelously good Job or the
government Is doing a rotten Job.
Anyway, it gives us a good slsnt
on the relative efficiency ot govern
ment ln business and private enter
prise ln business.

were waxing fat, and that newcom
ers were "repeaters" at the counter.
to the disadvantage of many worthy
and long time residents. Flagrant
evidence of Impositions on the char
ity of the county were reported, and
Investigated.
The county commissioners a week
ago, declared that no worthy resi
dent of the county In need of as
sistance would be slighted, but that
steps would be taken to curb known
evils.
It was reported that a group of
auto tourists, camped near the. city
had mode frequent calls at the com
missary and described Jackson coun
ty, "as the sofest spot on the Pacific
coast." Part of the group are said
to have departed last Sunday and
Monday. It was also claimed that
the commissary and the local dis
turbed conditions were attracting
wanderers from nothern California
and Klamath county.
Chief of Polios McCredle reported
yesterday, that requests for gasoline
from transients the past two months,
ln comparison with other years, has
shown a marked decrease, and there
are few applications. It has been
the practice to give stranded indi
gents with autoa gasoline, to speed
them on their way.
It is planned to establish a check
ing system. In the distribution of
funds, food, and work, as soon as
the governor's relief commission
named yesterday, starts to function.
Each applicant . will be checked, as
to his time of residence, his circum
stances, whether or not he is a prop

dependents. The policy will be. It is
understood, "to look after our own

Your Income Tax
A series of dally articles based on
revenue act of 1933 and designed
to aid those rennlred to file in
come tax returns for year 1932
NO. 16.
Limitations on Stock Losses.
Certain new provisions are contain
ed In the revenue act of 1932 under
the above-mentioned heading limiting
the deduction for losses sustained on
the sale or exchange of stocks and
bonds' which are not capital assets
that la, which have not been held
for a period of more than two years. :
In accordance with the limitation,
such losses may be deducted only
against gains from similar transac
tions for the year, although the
amount of the excess of such loss
disallowed as a deduction for the
year 1932 may be carried forward and
taken as a deduction against gains
from similar transactions for the suc
ceeding year to the extent of the
taxpayer's net Income for the year .
132. It is also to be noted that such
loss may not be ofset against capital
gains.
The above-mentioned limitation la :
in general applicable to both corpora
tions and individuals as well as otther
taxpayers. By the terms of the
statute, however, the limitation does
not apply to dealers In securities aa
to stocks and bonds acquired for re
sale to customers or to banks or trust
companies Incorporated under the
laws of the United Htates or of any
state or territory.
In defining "stocks and bonds" for
the purpose of such limitation th
statute specifically excludes there- "
from bonds issued oy a government
or political subdivision thereof. Such
exclusion not only Includes bonds Is- "
sued by the government of the United '
States or a state or political eubdl-
vision thereof but also includes bonds
issued by a foreign country or for
eign municipality. It therefore fol-
lows that the deduction, for losses .
sustained on the sale or exchange of
such bonds Is not subject. to such
limitation. :
