I By Arthur Perry.
VIVA LA BUIXt
Tin community la now threatened
with revolution. 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

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

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

The New Deal
TPHB dollar went up to $1.25 in Canada yesterday. Cattle
went' up in the Kansas City market. 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.

Inmibua, Dr. Wetbter Informs us,

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

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.

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

my opinion, migraine la a sensory

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

opposition leaders big and little

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.

their misery and destitution In a
vain attempt to bring about certain

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

denouncement was anticipated before
it occurred.
The Unemployed Council feels quite
safe In stating that Mrs. Henrietta

analysis of her speeches will readily
show that they could have been com

This In a time for action and

Your Income Tax
A series of dnlly articles based on
revenue art or 1032 and dealgned
to aid those required to file In
come tax returns for year 1933
No. 19.
Deduction for Bad Debts.
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.
