inddnJtfht haven kinked In the Broad-
way roar 1 tiny chill parlor, bright
wirai rea orim-
I mlngfl end stuff
ed with the sim
ple cordiality of
a Chaucerian era.
i From after thea
ter until a a. m.
i It Is In genial
pandemonium
with more diverge
celebrities than
any other spot In
town.

O. O. Mclntyre William daxton,
Meredith Nicholson, Joe Oook, Harold
Boss, Ogden Nash, Arthur Hopkins,
and other topnotohers In various
fields. In the least anticipated place,
more confidences are exchanged than
at the clubs.
The cafe la conducted by Mrs. Lee,
a buxom matron, end her comely
daughter Dorothea. The service Is
leisurely but the frljolee, enchiladas
and tamaiee are worth waiting for.
The wandering drunk finds all tables
reserved. Two Broadway hit plays,
three novels and a Jigsaw puosle re
vival Incubated there.
Over pannikins of steaming chill
are the moods and dolors onoe so
familiar among the well polished
benches of the old time rathskeller.
A gentleman last evening was dis
cussing Boocacclo. A departing st?
tucked a pat of hanVburgor In ber
purse for her Poke. Broadway, around
the corner, seemed far away.
The best known chill parlor of
tmotiher generation was, of course,
Joel's, shouldering the Metropolitan
opera. While such Intellectuals as
Ben DeOasseres, Edwin Markham and
Oarlos Foraaro were frequenters it
had a rake-hell glamour. Jetsam
madams, twitching hop-heads and
gristle - hearted panderers of the
Broadway night drifted In, The last
time I saw Joel ZUnaldo, incident
ally, he was rocking on the porch of
a sequestered Brooklyn home, read
ing Wordsworth, of all people.
Then 'there was Madam L&loy's,
also in the neighborhood, 6he mixed
the aperitifs and cashiered In a tiny
cage. Her son Gaston acted as maltre
4 hotel. Dinner aveo vln ordinaire
was 0A cents. An horrendous me
chanical piano was in constant din
but the low-colllnged place was
stuffed with that engaging quality,
"atmosphere." I met three of the
warmest friends I have there. Cus
tom era drank decently, with a con
tinental sense of rite. Gaston was
killed in the war, I heard, and Mama
Laloy returned to her native village
rn Provence.
Bui It was at Lorbart when X was
newly pupped on Broadway I got my
first peep at culture or so 1t seemed.
iLamb chops were served with red and
white paper panties slipped over the
ends. Here I also made virgin ex
periment 1n sipping colntreau. The
two eo emboldened me I breeeed over
to a corner table where Cstuso wss
dining and asked for his autograph,
tt was given with a graolouenees I
never forgot.

Ruining Crater Lake
f T IS hardly necessary to call attention to the unique beauty of
Crater Lake, and ita value- ai a tourist attraction to the
state of Oregon.
But it IS necessary, at this time, to call attention to the
beauty of the ROAD leading to Crater Lake and its value in the
same direction.
In fact to the people of Southern Oregon, to whom Crater
Lake is no novelty, the trip to the lake, along Rogue river and
through the forest, is the most enjoyable part of any lake
excursion.
This is true any time of the year, but particularly true, dur
ing the heat and dust of summer, when after an hour's motoring
one can ride comfortably over a smooth highway, through
towering fir and pine, not only far from the "maddening
orowd," but literally in the heart of the forest primeval.
'I 'HE people of the state have spent hundreds of thousands
- of dollars to make this highway possible, but now unless
prompt and definite action is taken, the best part of this high
way will be ruined, by the cutting of timber from Prospect to
the forest service boundary.
IMAGINE what the trip to Crater Lake would be if instead
of travelling through the heart of a beautiful forest, probably
the finest stand of fir and sugar pine on the entire coast, a
large portion of that travel would be over a denuded plateau,
hot and flat, with only stumps and tangled brush, as far as the
eye could seel
SUCH A THING SIMPLY CAN'T BE DONE I But according
to our information it WILL be done and done before the
present tourist season really starts unless the timber along
this section of the highway is purchased, or a state park created
which will not only preserve the timber, but .some of the best
fishing in Rogue river, for the pleasure and delight of present
and future generations.
The Mail Tribune strongly prefers the state park idea. But
if time is too short to bring this about, then ways and means
must be provided to make the necessary purchase, now, and
secure the park reservation, later.
THIS matter is of supreme interest to the people of Medford,
hut it is also a crave concern, not only to the people of
this state, but to the people of the country.
Crater Lake is not a local attraction, exclusively, nor only a
state attraction. It is a national attraction.
We feel confident that the federal government now engaged
in spending millions to preserve our national resources, if pro
perly approached would give financial aid to such a necessary
and worthy project as this.
But wherever the money comes from, or whatever the final
plan, this highway MUST BE PRESERVED, and toward this
end immediate aotion MUST be taken.
The Medford Chamber of Commerce has agreed to take the
leadership in this movement. It should have the wnole-neartea
and aggressive support of every service olub, every publio or
ganization, and every resident of Medford and Southern Ureeoni
Little Enough to Ask!
LOCALLY there has been nothing more reassuring during
this depression than the attitude of labor, all labor but
at this time we wish to call attention particularly to orchard
labor.
It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that the orchard work
ers the regular manual laborers have saved the day. But
for their fine spirit of loyalty and self saorifice, their willing
ness to work for nothing or a mere subsistence, and gamble
with their employers, on profits from the crop, there would,
practically speaking, be no crop. Instances to prove this state
ment could be cited until the cows come home. The workers
as a whole have given the finest imaginable demonstration of
Bound Amerioanism and splendid citizenship.
WITH such an inspiring example from those who have
rinbnrl thnlr "ATiTj" it should linrdlv ha necessary to ask
SOME consideration from those who have nothing to risk, but
a few months interest on their accumulated capital.
We refer to those individuals and concerns holding mort
gages on local orohard property. No orchardist can secure a
loan from the R. F. CL, unless a waiver on any mortgages
against his property, is granted until November first.
The validity of the mortgage is not impaired in the least.
The waiver merely amounts to a moratorium on mortgage fore
closures or interest payments for a maximum period of six
months or until the crop has been harvested.
Yet we are informed that many orchardists who must have
financial aid from the government at once, are unable to secure
such waivers, promptly, and some fear they won t get them
at all.
i i
XTB CANT believe there are many mortgage holders of this
' V V .ort in Southern Oreeon. or anywhere else. But those
who eant be reaohed by persuasion or through their sense of
public obligation at such a time as this, we believe could be
reached through proper publicity.
A list of mortgage holders who refuse to grant a six months
breathing space, so an orchardist can be given an opportunity
to keep himself and his employees from the bread line, would,
in our judgment, be decidedly in the pnblio interest".

P tbla went on Indefinitely, of
course, we should go bankrupt. No
individual can go " consistently
spending more than he makes, and
no community can go on consistent
ly sending away more money than It
brings tn.
We hope that the end of this pro
cess Is In sight. Agricultural prices
are already beginning to Mae some
what, and while the present situation
of the lumber industry Is no better
the future Is beginning to hold out
hope.
There are prospect that the stresm

barrel to begin to FILL again.
When that really happens, good

Communications
An Answer to Mr. Harr
To the Editor:
Referring to Bert Harr'a letter
about the Mooney case, I would like
to make a few comments. I have no
opinion about the guilt or innocence
of Mooney, but what this trial and
Its results does expose. Is the de
plorable contempt for constituted au
thority and class hatred among the
working classes. It is really too bad
that such men as Mr. Harr should
wish to foster this revolutionary
mental attitude; in fact, go so far
as to rate It as their duty to stir up
strife and class hatred.
He says that he (Mooney) advo
cates a plan that Interferes with the
exploitation of masses of laborers for
ths depraved gratification of a few
profiteers. Furthermore that direct
action to the average mind means
murder, arson and the like, but states
that what It roally means Is co-operative
marketing of human labor.
Now, to the average mind a hoe is
a garden tool; and to the average
mind direct action among radicals of
the Mooney type means violence. As
far as co-operation among the work
ers of the TJ. 8. they are as free as
In any country In the world may
be freer. So ths only possible ex
cuse for bombastic arguments on this
score Is an alibi for direct action.
Mr. Harr writes In a contemptuous
manner about professional and mer
cantile people, and says If they were
hard pressed and unemployed they
too might resort to bloodshed. It's
safe to say that now-a-daya very
many of these gentlemen are "hard
pressed and unemployed." Mr. Harr
also makes slurring remarks about
our legal tribunal.
Now what I want to get at Is that
all such ranttngs and abusive talk
lends to general contempt for consti
tuted authority, plus class hatred. A
very dangerous combination, and one
that Is utterly uncalled for in this
country. We have had a taste of all
this in our own little county, as Mr.
Harr knows to his own sorrow and
disappointment. Such wrltlnRs lead
to outrages such as the recent drag
ging from court and beating of Judge
Bradley of Iowa.
Mr. Harr says life la comedy. Does
It not occur to him that It Is cer
tainly comical that In this land of
the free, people should elect and ap
point their own officials only to
abuse them. hst9 them and use "di
rect action" against them.
Apropos to profiteers, there Hs no
such thing in this country as "the
exploitation of masses of labor for
the depraved gratification of a few
profiteers." That's all hocus-pocus.
It's a mental dummy of the Imagina
tion. Generally speaking the most
hard working, cleverest, moat enter
prising and courageous win In the'
battle or game of life, tt Is true some
abuse the great power they acquire,
but as a rule they do not. Ford, Rorx
erreller, Firestone and the late Edi
son are good examples.
If more people In Jsckson county
had had a better regard for consti
tuted authority, and not listened to
the ravings of demagogues, we would
not have this horrible strife and
turmoil, that will cost the county
$100,000 or more, besides paralysing
local business and causing the mur
der of one of our best officials.

The Sales Tax
To the Editor:
In your editorial on the sales tax
appearing in your Monday's issue, you
claim that property must be relieved
of the burden of shouldering the ma
jor cost of government; that the sales
tax la the only way out; that In
come has been reduced almost to the
vanishing point, eta. If that Is the
case, capitalism should be turned
over to the undertakers for respectful
burial. All taxes are Income taxes.
Sales and property taxes are not ex
cepted. They are merely different
means for surplus value; that Is, that
part of the value labor produces and
for which he Is not paid skinned of.
So how then can the superracket
social system, be kept a going con
cern by the sales tax? Please explain
this apparent contradiction.
R. HE ONER.
Oold Hill, May 9.
It probably can't be explained to
those who believe the present de
pression demonstrates the failure of
the American form of government.
Calling all taxes income taxes doesnt
change the essentials of the situation.
The Mail Tribune bellevw a redistri
bution of the tax burden, placing less
on farms and real property and more
on Incomes, intangible property and
sales will solve the critical tax prob
lem In this state, as It has In parts
of Canada and Europe. The proof ef
the pudding la In the eating. The
sales tax has been a success In Mis
sissippi. New York state has adopted
a sales tax, so has Illinois, Pennsyl
vania and Indiana. Oregon's oil tax
Is a sales tax and has been an over
whelming success. There Is Just one
question for the opponents of a sales
tax In Oregon to answer. How do they
