Why
Taxes
IT IS not only a patriotic duty, but a matter of self interest
for all citizens of Jackson county who CAN pay their cur
rent taxes, to PAY them.
It is a patriotic duty because taxes represent a moral and
legal obligation, which is imposed by every consideration of
good citizenship. Unless taxes are paid, local government can
not function, public schools can not be conducted, complete
chaos and distintegration only can result. Taxes in short, form
the cornerstone of all permanent and orderly government.
It is a matter of self interest, because if the tax structure
collapses, public business collapses, and nothing can prevent
private business from following suit.
rE property owner therefore, who can pay his taxes but
doesn't pay them, is false to the first duty of good citizen
ship, and acting contrary to his own self interest.
There is every reasrjn to believe, that if all the citizens of
Jackson county ABLE to pay their taxes, do pay them prompt
ly, the present serious financial crisis which this community
faces will be successfully surmounted.
If this is not done, if what amounts to a general tax strike is
followed out, then nothing can prevent a general and devastat
ing disaster.
TTHEEE is another point. The individual who figures he will
selfishly benefit, by shirking his tax obligation, letting the
county carry him, instead of his bank or doing the job himself,
is grievously mistaken. '
In the end he will either lose his property, or have to pay
not only his own delinquency
total delinquency charge caused
selfish and disloyal example. This will not amount to 8 percent,
but may well mount to three or four times that amount.
IN WAR the individual who
mon cause, is branded as a
the enemy is a traitor.
Well, we are in the midst of a 'war now an economic war.
The forces of destruction are at our gates. The citizen who
oan pay his taxes, either by using his cash or his credit, and
REFUSES; is essentially as much of a slacker and a traitor,
as if this community were fighting a foreign enemy instead of
an internal economic) foe.
So the Mail Tribune urges
taxes, to do so not only for the
their own sake. It is the only
and economio collapse can be avoided.
Hearst no
CONSISTENCY has been called
If the converse is true,
must have a very big mind indeed. '
For he is unquestionably one
in the world. Not only does consistency mean nothing to him,
but he seems to delight in being inconsistent.
For example : Last Sunday in
dolph spread his national tribute
the front page,' from prayers
poetio tributes to his greatness.
In the SAME issue, both editorially and in Mr. Brisbane's
speoial column, the Hearst papers opposed granting .any con
cessions to Europe on war debts, any material trade allowances,
rang all the changes on "America for Americans," and for good
measure, lnmbasted dictatorship in the White House.
In other words, asking America to fall on its knees before
the greatest chief executive since Lincoln, Mr. Hearst at the
same time ordered a big gun barrage laid down against two of
the most important principles in
THE president has demanded extraordinary powers, which

Hearst rpposes. In the agricultural bill with its monetary
amendment, he has been granted the greatest powers ever ac
corded a chief excoutive in the history of thiB country.
Apparently nothing definite was accomplished in the recent
Washington conference, but there is no question whatever, that
President Roosevelt favors both debt and trade concessions to
Europe, and is unalterably opposed to the Hearst Blogan of
"Europe must pay the war debts in full."
When President Roosevelt sends his war debt message to
congress, there is no doubt that the Hearst boys on the floor
will oppose it, tooth and nail, and his hirelings in the gallery
will "boo" it to the echo.
DRAYERS for Roosevelt one day. Brickbats and pineapples
for him the next. Such inconsistency might bother some
public men. But not William Randolph Hearst. Unless all
signs fail he will treat Roosevelt just as he treated Hoover,
Wilson, T. R MoKinley, and unless we are mistaken, every
recent president but Coolidge.
Bouquets at the outset. Harpoons, bad eggs, and poison
gas, a few months later.
The only consistent thing about Hearst, la his unfailing
inconsistency.

THE SLEEP YOU GET IS
- It has always seemed to me that
the popular notion that backache,

time quacks and
nostrum mongers
constantly exhib

hand on flank,
anxiously regis
tering craving for
a box of pill or
a pair of kidney
plaster or what
ever the nostrum might be. The
truth Is that Bright' disease (neph
rltls) rarely causes any pain or dls
comfort In the back. ,
In like manner the popular fear
or insomnia 1 kept active. If not

tures the victim I plainly straining
to keep awake so that he can worry
about the loss of sleep.
Now I like my sleep aa well a the
next fellow. I know something about
the physiology of sleep and Its value
in maintaining one's health, effici
ency, good spirits, and good look. If
any. Too, I have a casual under
standing of the effects of loss of
sleep on the physical and mental
well being. I believe I may require
an average ration of eight hours
sleep, but if circumstances prevent
me from doing a reasonable amount
of honest work, play, exercise, thon
six hours or less la plenty. On the
other hand, If I can put In severs!
hours massaging the lawn or mess

hedge or polishing the ear. then I
can do with nine hour sleep.
The belly breathing exerclae, for
from six to a dozen Inflations, Is a
great help for persons who find It
difficult to relax and get to sleep
night. Send a atamped envelope
bearing your adress and ask for In

you use any other name than Belly
Breathing I'll send no instructions.
The little lesson In physiology I
hope to teach today la this, that peo

play, exercise, require more sleep than
people who live by their wit. A a
general rule we may say that the

THE SLEEP YOU NEED
aleep you get 1 the sleep you need,
and If you don't need It, you should
not worry when you don t get It.
Parasite and people who earn
their own living by their wits, are
the least likely to suffer In health
as a result of scanty deep rations,
but they are the first to complain.
Instead of complaining and crying
for sympsthy for the dreadful afflic
tion of "Insomnia" (which 1
spurious an ailment aa "dyspepsia"
or "nervous exhaustion"), .these
ghastly maniacs ought to spare their
friends the tales of nocturnal vigils,
and try what a bit of honest work
will do for them, anything to occupy
their self-centered minds and stir up
a little oxidation In their lazy mus
cles. Nothing better for the pur
pose than a regular dally walk of
five or six miles. The advantage of
walking Is that It 1 excellent gen
eral exercise and It la always avail
able In sny climate, season or weath
er. Its disadvantage Is that It cost
more than many poor working people
can afford, but this doe not con
cern the parasite who most need It.

press agentry. The scope of the de-
celt was discovered through a new
artist who. due to a mechanical
breakdown on his first broadcast,
spieled through a dead mike. But
the station received some 300 letters
of praise. Stations now have secret
research bureaus which find out
performer's audience reaction In

Incidentally, a magazine editor tells
of the difficulty In abandoning aeries
dealing with the same characters,
While he did not have In mind Mon
tague Olass's Potash and Merlmutter
or Fanny Kll bourne's Dot and Will,
whose popularity are perelnnlal, they
encompass the Idea. Lesser tech'
ntclans may launch characters with
a few stories and If dropped there
is a genuine protest. So long as
characters are fixed authors may
write the weakest balderdash and
readers remain loyal. Thus editors
are. goody, goody, at the author's
mercy.
Three of the most popular charac
ters in serialized fiction are Clar
ence B tiding ton Holland's Scatter-
good Balnes, Irvln Cobb's Judse
Priest and Peter Kyne'a Cappy Ricks.
Each made a fortune for the orig
inator. All tried at various times to
bury their heroes, but readers de
mand resurrection. The tug was In
their stamp of reality. Scattergood
Balnes, Cappy Ricks and Judge Priest
were aliases of men the authors knew
Intimately.
The fiction character with the
greatest poplarity the past 30 years
I could not abide. I refer to Fin ley
Peter Dunne's "Mr. Dooley." My
father used to laugh at his observa
tions until his face surged apopletlc
purple. I have known few beings
save myself, who did not find him
amusing. I can account for It only
because of a distaste for dialect cou
pled, of course, with a thick sense
of humor. But I still think It high
Inanity and am glad lt'a erstwhile.
A figure in the Broadway flow Is
Lou Davis, who when not attending
his wholesale butchery business,
writes words and music for senti
mental ditties. He Is one of the
piano lmprovlsora who can hold a
silent circle knotted about until the
final note. His best known tune,
"That Precious Little Thing Called
Love," made a sizable fortune. His
boon companion Is Harry Rlchman.
I notice Amelia Bingham's home

britle of heroic statuary. The facade
was niched for marble figures of
Shakespeare, Goethe. Farragut, Abra

The mansion seems deserted and In
growing decay. Further south the
Charles M. Schwaibs' residence was
also crepuscular with gloom, the Iron

I have perfected a dandy Jabber-

that the death of George F. Preecott,
Medford constable, would not be
given special significance by the
jurors because he was an officer. The
farmers on the Jury panel were also
rigorously questioned In regard to
their views on cooperative marketing
projects, to which Banks Is vigorous

The state contented Itself with
questions as to the Juror's prejudices
and the assurance that the state
would be given a fair hearing as well
as the defense. It was believed the

In the week, it was revealed here to

today as the second day of the trial
started and several times Judge G. F.

amusing replies from rural Jurors
brought forth bursts of laughter..
EUGENE, Ore., May 2 (AP) With
prospects of the Jury box being filled
and at least a few of the many wit
nesses taking the stand before the
day Is over, the trial of Llewellyn A.
Banks, former Medford editor and
orchard 1st, and his wife, Edith R.
Banks, on charges of first degree
murder swung Into its second day
today.
The charges were brought against
the two for the death of George
Prescott, Medford constable, fatally
shot when he attempted to serve a
warrant on Banks at his Medford
residence. The trial was moved here
on request of the defense for a
change of venue from Jackson coun
ty. Charles A. Hardy, Eugene trial at
torney who Is widely acquainted In
Lane county, was retained by the de
fense in a last-minute surprise move
and almost entirely directed the de

Jurors.
Banks, who came to Medford from
Riverside, Calif., was the center of a
political stor mthat engulfed Jackson
county for months. He organized the
good government congress" which
demanded reslgnatlona of many
county officers.
Indicted In Ballot Theft
Later he was among more than a
score Indicted for the theft of bal
lots from the county courthouse on
the eve of a recount to determine
the legality of the election of Sheriff
Gordon Schermerhorn. whom Banks
had supported. It was when Prescott
attempted to serve the warrant tn
this case that he waa slain.

THE STORY told by" the markets on
Saturday, following the definite
setting of our feet on these new
paths, Is a story of rising price level's.
In this connection the opinion of
G. F. Warren, professor of agricultural
economics at Cornell University, one
of the newer school of economists, is
interesting. He says:
"If we are ever to get back to nor
mal conditions, the price level must
be raised to the debt level or the
debt level must be - lowered to the
price level. The latter means a long
drawn out process of bankruptcies;
the former a change In our monetary
standard."
Inflation means a change In our
monetary standard, and the response
of the markets to Inflation means
that the public generally welcomes
the change.
