Mrs. Marie B. Houck. (9, wire of Dr.
George X. Houck. prominent Rose
burg physician, died at her home
here last night following a long Ill
ness. She was for many years promi
nently Identified with the Eastern
Star lodge of Oregon, serving as
worthy grand matron for Oregon In
1915 snd 1018, after holding the of
fice of worthy mntron of the Rose
burg chapter In 1010. She was also
the first president of the Women's
Auxiliary to the State Medical Asso
ciation: was a member and offloer
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution and was an active mem

Making Hay
PVERYONE is feeling better. That is the first step to having
everything improve. Feelings are only emotions. But
emotions produce thoughts, thoughts produce actions, and
actions bring results.
This era of better feeling is evidenced locally by the success
of the Chamber of Commerce drive. Membership is increasing
beyond all expectations. There
tion's administration, and the
want to be in on it.
One of the most important
greater emphasis upon the development of Jackson county as a
whole. It is recognized, that until the rural districts, and the
city districts of Southern Oregon, work together in a common
effort to improve conditions throughout the county, those con
ditions can't MATERIALLY improve.
THE Chamber of Commerce, under the new dispensation, will
nn loncrpr confine its efforts and activities within the citv
limits. It will not only be concerned with problems outside of
the city, but will hold meetings with the various granges, from
time to time, assist in solving rural problems, and in turn
secure grange assistance in solving city problems.
This is good sense, and sound publio policy. Jackon county
is an organio unit. What benefits one section of it, benefits all;
what injures one section, injures all.
Adopting such a policy and sticking to it, means that this
era of better feeling, will bring practical and constructive
benefits; instead of being dissipated in a lot of talk, singing a
lot of songs, and kidding ourselves that this community or any
other, can raise itself by its bootstraps.
Get the Facts Now
IT 18 not too early for the people of this community to inform
themselves concerning the state sales tax.
If the state of Oregon is to escapo bankruptcy its tax prob
lem must be solved.
It can't be solved by increasing the tax on property. In
fact it can't be solved until the property tax is materially
REDUCED.
ACCORDING to Governor Meier, according to the members
of the stats tax commission, and according to the tax
committees of the state senate and house who spent months
studying all phases of this tax problem, the passage of this
sales tax is now Oregon's only hope.
The income tax has been increased, but THAT is not enough.
The intangibles tax has been retained but THAT is not enough.
The proposed sales tax must be passed or a receivership for the
state of Oregon can't be escaped.
The sales tax would not only save Oregon from financial
disaster, it would for the first time in recent history give the
state an equitable and balanced tax structure.
In fact, C. V. Galloway, chairman of the state tax commis
sion, declares it would be "the most modern and constructive
step in taxation adopted in the United StateB, since 1911, when
Wisconsin adopted the first state income tax law." 1
THERE is a deep soatod and to our mind unwarranted
prejudice against the sales tax ANY sales tax. An or
ganied effort, on political and partisan lines, will be made in
this state to defeat it.
We are confident however that if the people of this com
munity and every other, will start now to study this tax, and
secure the truth concerning it, it will be passed at the special
election this coming July.
The sooner the people start to inform themselves, determine
what the tax situation in this state, REALLY is, the more cer
tain this outcome will be.
A Truth
SPEAKING of the truth, and an aroused public interest in its
determination, we can think of no greater blessing to this
community, than the launching of a "learn the truth" campaign
at the present time.
Our recent troubles, destructive and tragic, have been duo
almost entirely to a disposition on the par' f 80 many people,
not only to believe the worst of their followmen, but to believe
so many things that AREN'T true.
This habit went so far, and became so ingrained, that it now
represents the greatest Bingle obstaole, to that return of normal
peace and well being which all right-thinking citizens desire.
We find people who not only are loath to accept the truth
when it has been plainly revealed; but who seem to find a
perverse satisfaction in holding to prejudices and suspicions,
which the slightest investigation would show to be entirely
unjustified.
What we need Is a genuine truth revival, a crusade vitalized
by a semi-religious fervor, to wage war on falsehoods and half
truths, and never relinquish the struggle, until the battle is won.
A TRUE leader in such a crusade, would not only be bound
to win ; he would go down in local annals, as the hero of an era,
and the greatest publio benefactor, in the history of Southorn
Oregon.

BETTER- TO BE PILFERED THAN ROBBED
A professional singer was robbed of
hie tonsils recently. The brass spec
ialist who committed the robbery got
away with every
thing, including
at least a 50-50
share of the pub
licity the singer's
professional con
nections brought.
Still it is not all
beer and skittles,
I suppose. It was
an excellent pub
licity Job and no
doubt the press
agent who did
the work receiv
ed his percent
age fiom both the singer and the
brass specialist. It was well nigh a
perfect Job. Z can think of but one
bit of embellishment that might have
been added a picture of a pretty girl
In nurse regalia taking the patient's
pulso with thumlb on ulna while he
tries out his voice to see the effect
of the operation.
Sixteen years ago a New York phy
sician canvassed S500 laryngologlsts
(throat specialists to you, children)
and BOO singing teachers or rather
teachers of singing, and tabulated
their opinions of the results of ton
sillectomy on the singing voice. Of
course in those days the old Spanish
outturn was the conventional stand
ard excising as much of the tonsil
as one could engage In the guillotine
and snare, and If this left too much
tons' 1 in the throat, then fishing
around and snipping off tags and
ends with scissors or dissecting them
out with the scalpel.
Thl survey embraced 6,000 tonsil
opfatlons on singers. Here are the
main conclusions the Investigator
reached :
1. In the bands of skilled oper
ators tonsil operations In singers give
good results.
a. Loss of singing voice occurs very
rarely after tonsillectomy.
S. Impaired voice la possible, but
mas, cases show an Increased range
of from half to a full tone.
4- Bad results are most often due
to scars from careless dissection or
from neglected after treatment.
J. injury to the tissues surround

At the time the report of this sur

Robins and Blue Birds
Fond of Shadow Boxing

Robins and bluebirds. It seems, ars
Just natural-born shadow boxers.
They'll fight anytime at the drop of

Local naturalists, scanning the
news reports of the cockrobln that

say that this sort of fighting Is Just
an old custom with red-breasts and
bluebirds.
One naturalist, Harry Aberdeen.
said he recalled many Instances of
bluebirds and robins pecking away at
their own reflections. Years ago a
robin saw his own reflection In a
window of the Episcopal church at
Batavla. 111., and got so noisy with
his fighting that he disturbed the
Easter morning worshippers, and an
noyed the choir boya at practice. The
rector finally solved the problem by

A new corned tin has launched a

up to his expectations. He said it
wu like the negro woman tried for
destroying pair of stockings In a
note his tonsil had prevented him
from singing before.
Nowadays, singers or speakers who
naturally prefer to take no chances
of Injuring the voice may have their
tonsils removed with Impunity. In
deed, not a few have been able to
keep up their regular speaking or
singing engagements while undergo
ing diathermy treatment for extir

modern method it la the method of

How anyone, least of all a physic

old Spanish method in this day of
shockless, bloodless, painless surgery.
Is more than I can understand. If I
wished to get rid of my tonsils I'd
rather they be pilfered than that I
be assaulted and robbed of them.

Federal Securities Act
As Urged by Roosevelt
Bestows Wide Authority
Move Toward Protection of Investors Given
Analysis by One of Framers; All
New Issues Are Under Rein
WASHINGTON, March 29. (AP) Here Is an analysis of the proposed

Editorial Comment
Tasting the Dregs '
L. A. Banks and some of his mls
guided followers In Jackson county
have begun tasting the dregs. The
cup filled by their own folly and
fury has turned bitter. Banks Is
held in Jail as a murderer. His wife,
who was entitled to his protection
instead of to be led by him Into trou
ble, is accused with him. Five mem
bers of his so-called good govern
ment congress have pleaded guilty
to ballot theft. Confessions from
others are In official hands. Still oth--era
among his chief supporters are
variously accused.
The. excuse under which the Banka
organization was brought Into being
was that law and order had broken
down and that this organization was
to restore them. Yet Banks, Its high
priest and prophet, has killed a man
and others of Its members have con
fessed robbery. Such deeds, so far
from being In the direction of up
holding lav and order, show wit
finality the sham of the movement
and of Banks and hla Intimates In
the congress. It was a movement
conceived In vengefulness, petty hate
and spite. Those of Its adherents
who were not vicious and there
were many such were strangely and
obliquely deluded.
It Is to the credit of these latter,
and a hopeful sign for t,he future,
that many of them have been bom
barding the Medford newspapers with
notices of their withdrawal from the
congress. The rush to get out now
Is nearly as great as the rush to get
In was In the days when harangues
by Banks were listened to with
breathless interest and diatribes In
his newspaper were taken all too se
riously. Oregonlan.
