Thl la rather peevlan talk and Indicates a deep, hostile disgust with something or other. It la hoped that the revolu tion la consummated, and completed, before the smudging season starts. It would be aggravating to be forced to halt the early morning gunfire around the courthouse, and rush out to an orchard and battle Jack Frost tilt the nook needed washing. If the revolution should turn out to be a fleale, the high commander will find himself In what Is known In the vsmamilar of the street, as a Jackpot. Once therein, the herolo eolf-hatlng soul will need a lot of lawyers, ana luck. Revolutionists as a rule are ninkied awav In a high-walled place where the warden la meaner than any district attorney ever dreamed of being, and free speech la limited to talking out of the left corner of the mouth, when no guara is uswiung. To be sure all revolutionary talk la dramatic drivel, and due to falling out of a cradle when a babe, or being kicked by horse white a youth the head being the point of contact, Thi. however, la a very bum excuse, Oovemmenta have an aversion to be- im murned with, violently. An ex. ample Is Mr. Thomas Mooney. Mr. Mooney advocated direct action, and took a direct route so wn yiuov,, rjiiif. He has been assldlously en deavoring to ohange his place of resi dence for 17 years, aa tho crow files, and to no avail. Mr. Mooney wishes he had not been so downright em phatic. ah revolutions need a leader, ana mvfval meeting enthusiasm. The fol lowers are classified as "well meaning but misguided," but swallowing any Incendiary bull and believing It la no alibi, Irrespective of the total vote east In Tolo precinct at the last great mandate of the great grand Jury. Prayer before opening fire don't minimise the intent. There will be no revolution here about or any place In America. But the half-baked ravlnga are nothing to laugh about, It would be funny It It waa not serious. But It has reached a point where It Is neither eerloua nor funny, but comes nnder the head of communistic silliness. If any revolutlonista should crop out. they are not Bpt to bo around to see the end of the Depression. It Is better to be Jobless, than a defunot colonel of a lost rumpus. The DeprM&lon continues tu the lending alibi for nil forms of cuased. neas, and a the main excuse for ornerynese. The warm tun ha ntBged the horae chestnut trees.

When necessary ad justments have been made EVERYTHING will go up. People with brains and courage intelligence to see the es sential elements in the present situation, and the will to take advantage of them, will be the winners of this debaole. People without the intelligence and lacking the courage, will, as usual, be the also-rans. Don't worry about the redistribution of wealth. It has already started. "Only the brave deserve the fair." Only the timid, and the fearful, will fail to be beneficiaries of the "New Deal." KE. Marsh TpHB death of H. E. Marsh removes another "good soldier" from the ranks of Medford splendid citizenship. Although modest and retiring. Mr. Marsh could always be depended upon to stand firmly and resolutely behind every issue designed to upbuild this community and make Medford a better and finer place in which to live. Honest, hard working, progressive, Mr. Marsh built up a very successful business.. on the basis of courtesy, integrity and the square deal. ' He will be missed by a large circle of personal friends. He will be mourned by a community whose best interests he always had at heart. But his example will always remain an inspira tion, particularly to those who, persistently handicapped by ill health, never falter in the good fight, and to the very end, remain true to themselves and to their ideals. For Members of the Good Goverment Congress Only TfOR a long time we have been told there are many sincere V and honest people in the Good Government Congress, who ore GENUINELY devoted to advancing the cause of good gov ornment in this community. To them, and them only, these words are addressed, IF YOU believe in good government then yon, must believe in the law, upholding the .law, equality before the law, the securing of reforms, in a legal and law abiding manner, NOT by appeals to violence or open revolution. If this is true, then it must be apparent to you now, that your officials, your recognized leaders, and your ohosen spokesmen, DO NOT share this belief. Whatever doubt, may have existed before, was removed, at the mass meeting of your congress, before the court house, yesterday. TTH! president of your organization frankly admitted she docs not believe in upholding of the law. There is a law against horsewhipping a citizen on the streets of this city. She violated that law. Her justification was that after appearing before the grand jury four times that body refused to return an indictment, so she took the law into her own hands. WHO is to decide whether or not a crime has been commit ted t The individual who claims it, or the grand jury, that con siders all the evidence and in the light of that evidence, hands down its ruling. ! Mrs. Martin says SHE has the right. The Law says the GRAND JURY has the right. Now obviously If Mrs. Martin has the right to overrule a grand jury, then every plaintiff has the same rjght. And what does that load to good government! What an absurdity! It lends straight to anarchy, and every thinking person knows it. As a true believer in good government, does your president, in taking such a stand, REPRESENT or MISREPRESENT youl MR. L, A. BANKS is Provisional President and official spokesman of your organization. At this same meeting, he declared he had been robbed of his newspaper, $200,000 in property, and UNLESS Governor Meier, State Treasurer Hoi man or the members of the stato supeme court, restored law and order and this property was returned, he would deolare open revolution and "Take the field himself." Is that YOUR idea of advancing the causa of good govern ment t WHO is to decide whether or not the Provisional Presi dent has been robbed or has merely, with hundreds of thousands of other American oitizens, been the victim of the most severe depression in modern history! Has Mr. Banks the right to decide that matterf If so then EVERY OTHER citizen who has lost money the past few years, and about $70,000,000,000 has been lost has the ssme right. Would THAT lead to good government t Why argue such an absurd point further! It would lead only to what your official spokesman proposes, OPEN REVO LUTION, CHAOS, CONFUSION AND BLOODSHED. TF Mr. Banks has boen 'robbed, he should appeal to the oourts if he hasn't been robbe) he should take his medicine like a man, along with over a hundred million other Americans, many of thorn in the bread line, who are not trying to tear down this government, but build it up, and through loyalty, patience and self-restraint, bring it back to normal peace and prosperity again. Such action is the very essence of good citiienship and good government. Suoh action as your Provisional President proposes is the exact reverse. Is your Provisional President BEPRESENTINQ or MISREPRESENTING you in takiug such a stsndt IN ALL- seriousness it is time that yon as a believer in good government and a member of this so-called Good Government Congress, think this matter over oarefully. If you DON'T believe in revolution, if you DON'T believe in lawlessness and violence, then yon should do one of two things j Either throw out the leaders of your organization "WHO DO, Or before it is too late, get out of the organization yourself. For regardless of what you may have heard, this government is still a government under the law, and promises so to con tinue, for a long tune to eome. It is a law of this state that member, of an organization that openly advocates revolution and violence, is equally guilty with every other member. If you believe in violence and accept the responsibility 1i you DON 'T, and if you DO believe in good government, and all the term involves, then either change the leadership of your organization NOW or get out, while the "getting" is good.

Wililsm Brady in care 01 Ibe Mali Tribune- , 6BXBE ANT) NONSENSE ABOUT MOHTMABE Inmibua, Dr. Wetbter Informs us, was an evtt spirit that lay on per sona In their sleep. A good enough description of t3 nightmare. The first de lusion we must dispel la that nightmare Is due to "Indigestion." Briefly, I assert it is no more de pendent on dis turbance of di gestion than it is on shallow breathing or sluggish circula tion, and there la undoubtedly more scientific- evi dence on my side of the erg u men t than there Is on the other. Xn most instances of nightmare there Is prec ious little reason to suspect anything abnormal about the digestion. On the other hand, the great majority of persons who suffer from one or another aliment of the digestive or igans never have nightmare. "Indi gestion, wnicii, aiw an, w a mra-ii- lngless term, appears to be an alibi for people who dislike to confess less conventional sins. Incubus, sleep taliclng and sleep walking are all of the same general nature, and there Is only an arbitrary borderline between these disturb ances of sleep and petit mal epileptic spells. Epilepsy may be character ised by periodic fits or convulsions followed by unconsciousness stuporous or dszed slate, these seiz ures being called grand mal. Or the subject may have mei& lapses of con sciousness lasting from a few mo ments to hours or days, without any convulsions, but Just, odd and Inex plicable conduot or In some Instances sudden ,,freezlngM In the position the subject happens to bo In when the seizure comes, and en regaining con sciousness the victim has no recollec tion whatsoever of what has occurred during the seleure. This type of epi lepsy la called petit mal. Readers will please believe I men tion epilepsy, not because I know anything about It or its treatment that is not better understood by any real doctor, but because I hope to dispel some of the popular prejudice about epilepsy. You know. It smooths down some of the snobbery and meanness in us all when we find that these much misunderstood trou bles, epilepsy. Insanity, cancer, con genital defects, may occur In any family, even our own, in fact are bound to occur in' every family now and then. Who shall say where to draw thd line between nightmare and a frank petit mal? Sleep-walking Is ordinarily a mild disturbance and It ceases spontane ously after a while. But in some cases of psychic epilepsy or petit mal the victims have traveled far, even crossing the ocean and visiting a for eign country, during the lapse. After the spell Is over they can recall noth Communications la Frank Jenklnl Right? To the Editor: When the British put an embargo on armi. and refused to aell to either the Japa or the Chlneae, they took the only practical step that could at present be taken toward peace and disarmament. lu your esteemed paper of March 9 Mr. Jenkins says that It waa not In reality Impartiality, as the Japa mnnufactur their own am munition. But In the aama column the writer aaya that China could probably find the money to buy am munition. If that la the case, then It prows that England's policy la Just and honorable, for sha denies herself the prospect of profit by selling to either combatant. Mr. Jenkins surely can sea the loglo of this, but appar ently he overlook It. Be aaya again: "In case Russia should be drawn Into the war, we'll sit tight and do nothing at all, sell ing anybody who wants It anything he can pay for. If we had followed that policy baok in ion, we'd be a lot better off today." Kls words are In Italics. But that Is Just what the TJ. S. did In the world war. Bhe sold shiploads of arms and ammuni tion to any country who could pay for It. The Germans objected, and w all know the reault. Apart from this being bad policy, there la the moral and ethical aide of the question. Does Mr. Jenklna really think It right to aell to com batants, thereby encouraging warfare. If two men are In a gun fight, and a byatander la willing to furnish them with guns and ammunition until one la killed, whlla another refuses to have anything to do with the quar rel, which bystander Is humanitarian. Is It any wonder the Europeans call the Americana dollar-worehlp- pera. It la really surprising that an Intellectual writer who alms to write "down" to the people, should have no more aenae of what Is Just and humanitarian. Mr. Jenklna may be qualified to run an ammunition fac- tory. or to tell the Orrgonlans 'of all the wonderful resources of this fair state), but as a crltlo In International ' Justice and honor he li sadly lacxtng. Let htm alt at the feet of an Il literate, who doea not pretend to t writ grammatically, will Rogers ' talka on the esme subject In the laama number ot The Mail Tribune. lag! Point, March S. and revolution, all right, stay in, such a stand imposes. ing of the events that occurred while the spell was on. I know of no. par ticular case, but I believe the Tictlra of such a petit mal attack might as sault or kill some person without any conceivable reason, and have no rec ollection of It sfter recovery. For that matter, I think an ordinary person with incubus might -in consciously in flict injury upon an innocent person and have no recollection of the deed on waking. Quite a stack of letters from read era assure me I have the gratitude of suffers from migraine, for the sug gestion to take the calcium lactate treatment. I hope this gratitude will withstand what I must say now. In my opinion, migraine la a sensory equivalent of epilepsy, Just as sleep walking, nightmare, !eep talking and tho fugue state above described is the psychic equivalent, and any such manifestation may -ippear In the off spring of a parent who contributes alcoholism or some other convention al strain of degeneracy to the heredi tary genes.

(Copyright, John F. Dille Co.) Jenkins Comment (Continued from Page One) strong enough to stand up under ANT EMERGENCY, Including the emer gency that arises when all the de positors demand all their money all at once. Banking wouldn't be banking It that were possible. It would be merely SAFE KEEPING, and there would be no such thing as bank credit, by means of which something like nine-tenths ot all our modern buying and selling are accomplished SINCE, as you have seen, ft Isn't possible to provide a bank strong enough to stand up under any emer gency that arises when the depositors get scared and all demand all their money all at once, we must do some thing else for we MUST HAVE bank ing If modern business Is to be car ried on.

E SWEEPS DOW ON NEW FIRST LADY (Continued tram Paga One) see Mr. Roosevelt. He knew the right people and talked the right things, and coming from the middle west, where Mr. Roosevelt was casting for a secretary, the new chief executive said, In effect: "Why don't you speak for yourself?" Mr. Roosevelt is still chuckling over the misadventure of Francis M Stephenson, the A. P. reporter who covers him. "Stevle." who Is small but high powered, was waylaid by Miami po licemen and arrested as an accomp lice of Zangara, the Miami assassin. He, like the other reporters in the Roosevelt party, were on the special train, writing their stories when the shooting took place. Hearing about It, "Stevle" started on a run up the railroad tracks to jive his office a flash, Two Miami cops tackled him, and soon a vast crowd had gathered around. Ultimately the reporter per suaded the cops to took at his cre dentials, v Roosevalt has his own way of han dling newspaper correspondents. George VanSlyke, of the New York Sun, a keen reporter, occasionally writes pieces .which Mr. Roosevelt thinks are not altogether friendly. Roosevelt hits back by addressing VanSlyke as "Old George." a sobri quet which does not suit the Sun man at all. He la not young, but neither is he old. Secret service men will not attempt to deter Roosevelt if he decides to fly. As a matter of fact. In view of the Miami affair, they probably would rather have him In the air than on the ground. If you think Hitler Isn't in earnest you probably have neither relatives nor friends In Deutschland. Complete arrangements were made to hold the election under Terror conditions. Literally thousands of opposition leaders big and little were Jailed. A great New York paper had an important dispatch held up nine hours. The Hitler censorship will be watched closely for overt acts. , Communications A Duty, Not Crime. To the Editor: Earl Fehl. In a "talkie" given from the court house steps on Monday, March 6, 1033, used the following language: "X want to say to you, ladies and gentlemen, that Mr. O. C. Boggs was the man that oume to me and called me off Into a -brief conversation and wanted me not to press the charges against our former sheriff, Mr. Jennings, because he waa at least eleven hundred dollars short, he wanted that covered up. He didn't want nothing done with It. Mr. O. C. '' Boggs, this man that heads the committee of one hundred, want ing your county Judge to cover up crime In the public places, . and then coming to the court room and demanding this audito rium be closed to the people." The eleven hundred dollars referred to by Earl Fehl was eleven hundred dollars waived by Sheriff Jennings when the Jackson County Bank was closed.- Earl Fehl claims to know I the law, and If he does know any law, he knows that waiving a part of such deposits by Sheriff Jennings was not a crime. It may have been an error in judgment, or It may have been the exercise of the very best Judgment, It was the Judgment exer cised by the great majority of .the depositors In the Jackson County '( Bnnk who had the best Interests of Jackson county at heart. Knowing Earl Fohls propensity for stirring up trouble and making a hullabaloo about everything and everybody. I suggested to him that under the then financial stress tt would be best for Jackson county and Its people if the matter were handled quietly, and requested that I be informed be fore any action of any kind was taken looking toward a settlement of this matter: to all of which Ban Fehl agreed, and he further stated In this conversation that If Jackson county wanted to walse Its claim, whatever It might be, against Mr. Jennings In this matter, tt would make no differ ence to him. The assignment of this claim sgalnst the bank to Jackson county by Sheriff Jennings ts a mat ter of public record In the county clerk's office. O. O. BOO OS.

E FOR UNEMPLOYED (Continues: trom r-age one) selfish ends and are capitalizing upon their misery and destitution In a vain attempt to bring about certain political reforms that have no bear ing upon the needs of the workers. The Unemployed Council is in a position to. prove that h. A. Banks ENDORSED the principles and pro gram of the Unemployed Council weeks before the organisation began to function. However, he soon saw that there was nothing In the pro gram that would aid him In his fan tastic self-seeking schemes. His later denouncement was anticipated before it occurred. The Unemployed Council feels quite safe In stating that Mrs. Henrietta B. Martin has not uttered a single Informative sentence in public. An analysis of her speeches will readily show that they could have been com posed by any school girl. This In a time for action and time for serious constructive thinking and anyone with a voice or a news paper who does not use it to pro mote the interests of those most In need should have no claim upon pub lic support. The Unemployed Coucll makes this statement of Its own free will and in the best Interests of the unemployed workers and poor farm ers of Jackson county. We wish to extend an Invitation to Mrs. Henrietta B. Martin and Llewel lyn A. Banks to debate at any time or place a representative of the Un employed Council upon the following subject: Resolved, That the unem ployed workers and Impoverished farmers of Jackson county have nothing In common with Llewellyn A. Banks and can gain nothing by fol lowing his false leadership. The Unemployed Council principles and program can be lifted bodily from the inaugural address of Presi dent Roosevelt.

Bad debts constitute a considerable Item In the returns of many taxpayers and may be rated In one of two ways either by deduction from gross Income In respect to debts ascertained to be worthless either In whole or In part or by a deduction of a reason able reserve for bad debts. Taxpayers were given an option In 1921 to se lect either of the two methods! The method used In the return for 1921 must be used In returns for subse quent years unless permission ti granted by the commissioner of In ternal. revenue to change to the other method. Application to change must be made at least 30 days prior to the close of tlie taxable year for which the change Is to be effective How ever, a taxpayer filing a first return In 1932 may select either of the two methods, subject to the approval of the commissioner upon examination of the return. Permission to adopt the reserve method la limited to tax payers having a largo number of ac counts where credit Is extended over a considerable period of time. It Is not granted for the purpose of handling one specific debt. What constitutes a 'reasonable ad dition" to a reserve for bad debts must be determined in light of the facts and will vary as between clssses of business and with condltiona of business prosperity. A taxpayer using the reserve method should show In his return tho volume of charge sales for other business transactions) for the year, and the percentaga of tha reserve to such an amount, the total amount of notes and accounts receiv able at the beginning and end of th taxable year, and the total amount of the debts ascertained to be worthless and charged against the reserve dur ing the taxable year.
