had to pick a gallon of gooseberries,
which are amply protected by thorns,
and otherwise Inaccessible, and then
eat a piece of cooked hennery goose
berry pre, he would not feel so kindly
towards them. Tourists and scenery
are wonderful. Too many toutfsta.
however, think a necessary part of
the scenery is a county commissary,

The San Francisco Chronicle is advocating that tha govern
ment take over the job of crushing out organized crime.
It points out crime is no longer a local problem but a nation
al menace, "Organized society must curb organized crime, or
else organized crime will destroy organized society,"
0
WE heartily agree with this view. The restriction' of police
powers to the states was well adapted to the early days,
when each state was more or less an independent unit, jealous
of every other state. But long since we have become a closely
knitted nation. Criminals recognize no state boundaries; why
should the police t

'T'HE moral angle of organized crime is the chief considers-
tion, the destruction of life and property, the lowering
of moral standards within the nation. But the economic burden
crime imposes is also an important factor.
Here in Jackson county, we now have a striking demonstra
tion, of what crime costs the taxpayers. Not only does crime
destroy, but bringing criminals to justice, places a heavy finan
cial burden upon the community where crimes are committed.
The federal government is aiding states, communities and
individuals in oountlcss ways, during the present crisis. Why
not give them aid also, in checking crime, which has made
this country a paradise for criminals for nearly a generation
and day in and day out costs the people such an appalling loss

PREMIER RAMSEY McDONALD may be slipping politically.

convincing speakers in the world
Here is a statement of his
graved upon the minds of all
present time:
"Lit revolt against hardship and' the gain of th paat art
wept away by the fore of despair."
For nearly four years the' human race has been in the grip
of a world wide depression, unprecedented in its extent and
severity. The wonder is not that civilization has finally readied
its supreme crisis; but that' it did NOT reach the parting of
the ways long ago.
D what we call civilization is to survive, the processes of
disintegration must be checked,
be lessoned or "the gains of
by the forces of despair."
Fortunately economio conditions are improving, not only in
this country but abroad. But unless the competing nations of
the world get together, in a union of oooporation, better feeling,
and more genuine friendship, the start on the road to recovery
will never proceed to the dawn of a better day.
As Premier MacDonald truthfully says:
"A. aelf sufficient nationalism In economic U the death
knell of advancing prosperity, "
If the present crisis is to he successfully surmounted, the
various nations must do, what the individuals within those na
tions, have done subordinate their selfish interests to the good
of the whole.
That familiar phrase "unless we all hang together, we will
hang separately" certainly applies to the civilized world at the
present time.
To the extent that the London conference contributes to this
new spirit a spirit of human brotherhood it might be termed
it will be a success; to the extent that it fails to do so, it will be
a dismal failure.
The Reds
rPlIAT line "Life revolts against hardship and the gains of
the past are swept away by the forces of despair," has
another important application.
It is the basis of communistio aotivity against the capitalistic
world particularly against the United States.
What has been a devastating panh in this country, has been
a boom for Brother Stalin of Moscow and the Third Interna
tionale. They have made more progress in their effort to de
stroy this government in the past three years, than they could
have made under normal conditions, in as many decades.
COMMUNISTIC agenta have been busy right here in South
" em Oregon. In the lnrger oitieg they have been recruiting
members night and day. They have told the sufforing people
their only hope of betterment, escaping their sufferings and
hardships lay in violence and revolution, and because life re
volts against hardship they have drawn thousands of misguided
people to the standard of the red flag.
This isn't sensationalism, it is a known fact. The enemy is
here and boring from within. Communities torn by dissension
and atrife, are marked for particular attention, local trouble
makera being given moral support and funds.
The danger is real. As has been previously stated in this
column, it is a time for those who believe in the government
under which they live, who don't wish "the gains of the past
to be swept away by the forces of despair" to be eternally on
their guard, prepared to smash the dragon head of revolution
tha moment it appears.

but Isn't frightened by them and
doesn't believe that the present de

ness. Altogether, he point out. there
have been 19 major depression In
thl country. In 1857, condition got
o bad that th army had to be called
out to defend the U. 8. treasury.
Confidence In the future of the
country had fallen Just that low
IN 1603, 40 yeara ago, Mr. Kelly likes
to tell hi hearers, IM railroads
went Into bankruptcy.
We think unemployment condition
are pretty bad now, but In 1893. Mr.
Kelly tell us, TWICE as many men
per thousand of population were out
of employment as now.
Not th statement: 'Twice as
many men per thousand of popula
tion." There are more unemployed
now than In 1893, but It la a bigger
country. What he mean Is that the
proportion of unemployment then
was twice aa great as now.
IN EACH ot these' crises, condition
eemed to be so bsd that they
never could get better again.. BUI'
THEY DID.
The country recovered after each

ist are prone. It only fault 1 found
in tb merest trifle, which on runs
th risk of seeming eeniortouinea In

tht what Mr. Perry aay of th goose
berry Isn't ao.
And in th most candid manner
possible, with exactly nothing to gain
or conceal, thla newspaper would ad
dress a ohaUenge te Mr. Perry touch
ing upon the edibility of gooseberries.
On the Applegate, a river beloved of
Mr. Perry, and convenient to his la
bor, there 1 yet a shake-rooted fir
cabin mellowed by long residence
with a gooseberry bush in its yard.
In thla cabin there dwell a house
wife so quaintly old-fashioned she
weara a blue aunbonnet when sh hoea
corn. Her grandfather planted the
gooseberry bush when Black Bert held
the stages to ton with a sawed-off
shotgun, but It still bear like a
good one, a they say. And It Is. It
bears gooseberries.
In the Interests of truth end of
science will not Mr. Perry visit the
cabin and ask the lone woman who
dwell there If, please, ma'am, ah will

right kindly. It 1 th hill country,
and, as such, It considers the reason

to bake a gooseberry pie. Arthur,
takea only a Jiffy, The crust will be
rich with riskiness, and crystal be
neath with sugar, snd the gooseber
ries will recline In their own aromat

cut that pie with a steel caseltnlle
liberally, arter the hill custom, tne
woman of the cabin will cut It. The
helping should swim In Its released
Juices, and It will, as the time-browned
cracked china plate cornea toward

Now the milk for there must al

berry pie will have been fetched
from the spring house, cool as the

or a yellow crock, for either will serve
the purpose, with the golden cream
seamed and wrinkled upon Its sur

bler poured, mind you. cream and
all, for cream Is yet taken in milk
on the upper river of the Applegate.
Sit you down, you skeptical fellow, to
the red table cloth, and the chipped

Commiiiucations
Endorses Dr. Phlpps.
To the Editor:
Petitions bearing more than ISO
namss were filed yesterday with Mrs.
Rebecca Jensen, . local school clerk,
nominating Dr. I. D. Phlpps for mem
bership on the .school board for th
Medford district for the ensuing 8
year term. Dr. P.hlpps is well qall
fled for the position of school direc
tor, being & close follower of school
affairs, a heavy tax payer and hav
ing served previously on the local
board. Friends urging the candidacy
of Dr. Phlpps are doing ao with the
Idea that there haa not been suffi
cient change in the personnel on the
local board In recent years to secure
a fair cross section of public senti
ment throughout the district.
To correct the Impression that th
local board has reduced the levy from
27.7 to 20 mills within the past year
for strictly school purposes. It la
pointed out that the levy of 27.7
mills waa made by special election
and provided a double installment
for the sinking fund requirement In
cident to the large building program
put on two years ago and which la
yet unfinished. The budget operat
ing costs for the ensulnn year 1933
34, are approximately (6500 greater
than for the year 1632-33.
