PIONEER HEART JERKS
(Pendleton East oregonlan)
Very quietly and slyly last
Sunday morning with only a few
Immediate friends present, Mr.
Ben 5. Burroughs and Miss Clara
Turner, both of the Tribune of
fice, were married by Judge
LaDow.
Mr. John Watson Is building
himself a new house Just back
and overlooking the planing mill.
As he Is a bachelor and the .new
house Is an extensive one, It
looke rather suspicious.
' (50 Yrs. Ago Ool.)
The nation Is on the brink of a
Democratic administration, and a
Democratic president In the White
House. The event Is somewhat sha
dowed locally by ohronlo cusoedneas
and continuous horse-play. In the
shuffle of the New Deal, new post
masters will be dealt. In the hub
bub, the new postmaster has been
' lost sight of It he ever was In sight.
It Is doubtful If the community will
ever get around to fighting about
who will read the postcards, and put
the end of the month duns In the
wrong box.
A crowd estimated at 300, gathered
at the cthse yesterday, as sye-wlt-neases
to a man driving a nail. Sev

Hoover wss first elected, and 33 years
before that. -
The sport scribes are up to their
eld trick of belittling the actual
tcore of a basketball game as an In
dicator of the score. If a quint Is
defested, 37 to 4, the sport scribes
say: "The game was much clceer
than the score Indicates," or, "the
loser was a better team than the
core Indicates." A 47-4 score Indi
cates that the game was net close,
and that the grand Jury shouM
launch an lnvstlgatlon to find out
If any crtms was committed In the
losera getting the 4 points. As to
the second allegation, It doth appear
that the loser was a worse team than
the score Indicates.
HORRORS OF MATRIMONY
(Stafford. Kan., Alliance)
They had met, loved and were here
to have their love given the legal
aanctlon necessary to their happiness,
and were not long In finding their
way to Judge Kirks office, where In
lil usual dignified styls he tied the
silken cord of Hymen which no man
dares put asunder. The bride was
besutlful, lovely and as llmld aa ths
first blushes of the morn. The bride
groom was a handsome and manly
young fellow, and a type of those
among the mountaineers who have
Crowned Colorado with the glory she
wears. Both seemed Impatient at
delay and when the judge had Joined
their hands and sloquently pro
nounced the mman and wife a blush
of Joy crimsoned the chaeka of both
bride and bridegroom. Like two un
caged birds In the early springtime
full of aong they flew to our f Ity
and weremated in aa atmosphere of
Joy, leaving on tha 4 o'clock Broncho

HOW WE APPEAR IN
EYES OF OUTSIDERS
ILL WINDS BLOW.
Unbridled hstreds and continued expressions of violent passion and
tlireati. coupled with the hurling of charged, founded and unfounded, have
brought Jackioii county Into auch a itate of turmoil, that It will be many
months before her harassed courts can clean up the mess.
. After listening to and reading the virulent effusions of Editor Llewellyn
Banks for a year or so, the entire community apparently has taken sides and
Is drawn up In bitterly hostile camps. Latest news reports from the district
Indicate that empty rantlngs about alleged corruption and threats of extra
legal action, hare apparently taken root and produced actual accomplishment,
' It Is time that the more sane and
took matters Into their own hands and brought some degree of reason and
common sense Into action. It Is hard enough for a peaceful and united com
munity to get along these days without Indulging In exhibitions of actiTely
hostile and futUe dissension.
A reading between the lines of the story of the present Jackson county
squabble Indicates that a disagreement of minor proportions and little, If
any, public Import has been fanned to large proportions by blasts of un
bridled passion.
The sober people down there should
tneir own thinking for a while (Astoria Budget,)
Arrest of the Jackson county sheriff and county Judge and some of their
lackeys Is said to hare had a sobering effect on many members of the so
called good government league. Even county officers are not above the law,
ven when they assume to act the role of saviors of the people. (Albany

TONSILLECTOMY HAS BEEN OVERDONE IN
ENGLAND TOO.
Rich children In England are four
times as likely to be subjected to re
moval of tonsils as are poor children,
rjs according to i
inougnuui ausiy
sis of the tonsil
lectomy situs
tlon by Olovsr
snd Wilson In
the British Medi
cal Journal.
This Is Just
another r a a a p n
why It Is lucky
for a kid to be
poor. After all It
Is not ths poor
little rich kid
that gets all the breaks.
These English physicians csll atten.
tlon to the fact that tonsillitis Is at
least as frequent among the poor as
It la among tha rich.
Reading between the lines, as some
of us lowllfe scoundrels do, It would
seem that the doctors over there pre
fer to operate when the outlook . Is
bright for a good lee. But you can't
get the right view of the situation
that way. You must take Into con
sideration also the fact that rich chil
dren aie pampered more than poor
children are, with excess of olothing,
over-heated abodes, pap or refined
food, and hence they are more sus-
ceptfble to overgrowth of adenoid
tissues, so that their tonsils appear
more abnormal to casual Inspection.
These Investigators report that the
effects of tonsillectomy on rheuma
tism, chorea and heart trouble are
doubtful and they declare there la no
sufficient causa for the routine re
moval of tonsils In a rheumatlo or
potentially rheumatlo child, simply
as measure of prophylaxta against
rheumatism. (In ye olde countree
the doctors "still stolidly call it rheu
matism, the weather and. climate
being what It la over, there, and It
never oocura to anybody to remark
"Indeed? And what la the nature
of thla rheumatism, Doctor?")
Then the English Investigators de
scribe observations made on the rela
tive Incidence of upper respiratory In
fections among children of moderately
well-to-do people In boarding aohools,
some 14,000 children In their early
'teens, some of them still having their
tonsils Intact, more than half having
hud tonsils removed. They could
see no advantage from the operation
In this respect, Including the ques
tion of susceptibility to diphtheria
and sosrlet fever, middle ear Inflam
mation, and mastoiditis. Their ob
servations .confirm and support the
Your Income Tax
A series of dally articles bated on
revenue act of 1031 and designed
to aid those required to file in

NO. IT
Losses on Stock Transactions.
No gain or loss la recognised for
Income-tax purposes as a result of the
exchange of stock or securities In a
oorporaUon solely tor stock or securi
ties In another corporation In pursu
snce of a plan of reorganisation to
which both corporations are parties
or as a result of the exchange of
stock or securities in a corporation
solely for stock or seourlttee In the
same corporation In connection with
a recapitalisation. Where money or
other property Is received along with
such erchangea, no loss Is reoognleed,
although a taxable gain may result.
Ths statue also prohibits the deduc
tion for any loss from the esle or
other disposition-of stock or securi
ties where the taxpayer, within a
period of 30 days before or after the
date of sale or other disposition, ac
quires or entera Into a contract or
option to acquire substantially iden
tical stock or securities.
The treatment of gains and losses
resulting from the sale or exchange
of capital assets undr the revenue
act of 1033 remains the same aslt
was under the revenue act of 1023.
The term "capital assets" means with
eertsln exceptions property held by
the taxpayer for a period of more
than two years, and such property,
of course. Includes stocks and securi
ties. In the case of an Individual,
any loss sustained In respect or capl
tal assets la first oafset against any
stains from such source. A capltsl
net gain may, at the election of the
taxpayer other than s oorooratlon. na

better balanced citizens of the district
get their feet on the ground and do
observations of Dr. Ruby L. Cunning
ham In respect to the effects of ton
sillectomy In a similar number of col
lege women. We told of Dr. Cunning
ham's distinguished contribution here
some time ago.
The final opinion of Drs. Glover,
und Wilson Is that a large proportion
of the tonsillectomies now done In
children are unnecessary, entail some
risk, and give little or no return.
I am not sufficiently familiar with
the status of medicine In England to
say whether they have brass spec
lallata over there, but they have Har
ley street, and If the country can tol
erate a bit. of hokum like that It Is
quite likely that the specialist evil
prevails nearly as extensively aa It
does here. At any rate It I no credit
to English good sense or hardheaded
nesa that more than half of 14,000
children In boarding schools hove
been subjected to tonsillectomy. Not
that removal of tonsils la wrong; It
Is often quite necessary for the child's
well-being. But It Is surely absurd
to think that more than half of the
well-to-do class children require such
an operation.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Deafness From Hardened Cerumen.
Recently, I became deaf suddenly,
Went to doctor. He removed some
accumulations of hardened wax,
Hearing perfect now. Is there any
thing I can do to prevent recurrence
of this trouble? M. L. S.
Answer Best way is to syringe ears
occasionally, with only lukewarm
water containing toaspoonful sale-
ratus to the pint. Better ask your
doctor to show 70U how to do this.
Never Insert anything In ear canal,
unless under physician's direction.
Hydrophobia-phobia.
Daughter, aged 3. scratched on
cheek by dog's toeth. I painted It
Immediately with mercurocnrome. Is
there much danger? How can I find
If the dog has rabies? Mrs. B. K.
Answer Best course Is to have dog
confined two weeks under observa
tion of veterinary physician. If at
the end of that time the veterinary
certifies the dog Is well, forget It.
Your treatment was sufficient in any
circumstance, I think.
Consult a Flzztr-lan.
Is carbonio water a healthful
drink? What effect has It on the
kidneys? J. . D.
Answer Carbonated water la whole
some and refreshing for occasional
use. I do not recommend habitual
drinking of It. It has no other effect
than that of tap water on the kidneys.

Communications
A Courteny Appreciated,
To the Editor:
On February 33. 1P33, I had the
privilege of receiving my final cut
senshlp papera In the court of Judge
Norton, and became a real American
clttsen. Two or three daya later, t
received a personal letter from the
president of the Medford Chamber of
Commerce, congratulating and wel
coming me aa a partner In the many
opportunity a cltlaen la entitled
to in this wonderful country X would
like you to know that that letter
gave me a certain pleasurable feeling
of satisfaction, which perhapa only
a newly natural l red oltlaen could ap
preciate, and the thought occurred
that If the Chamber of Commerce
could take the time from lta many
duties, especially during this unfor
tunate local turmoil, to welcome
new citlxen, whether a member or
not, tnen that spirit of co-operation
and helpfulness la atlll here, and will
be the means of putting Medford
back Again on the map as a great
city In a great country.
Very truly yours,

ByF. B. COLTON.
WASHINGTON (AP) The prohibition question, put back on the door
steps of the states by congress' passsge of the resolution to submit to the
states to repeal the eighteenth amendment, will find changed attitudes In
soma states after 13 years of the dry law, IX legislation during that period
la any criterion.
When national prohibition was rati-
fied January 16, 1919 one year before
It took effect 32 statea were "dry
In the sense that they had const It u.
tlonal or statutory measures against
the liquor traffic. Since then, eight
of these statea have taken various
kinds of action that antl-prohibl

from "bone-dry" sentiment.
Thirty-two Dry States.
States whloh had some kind of stftte
law against liquor traffic when pro
hibition was placed In the constitu
tion and hence were officially "dry-

gan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska
