Record) I would not minimize, even mo mentarily, the past accomplishments of science, in government or out. I do not see how any Intelligent person can hear some of the complaints registered against research without desiring to Jump at once to the de fense. Certain business groups, a few highly articulate chamber of com merce people, have done a great in justice to the scientific work of the Government by inferring that con siderable, sums of money have been spent to Investigate how far a flea could Jump, and to look into the) love-life of the frog. X am unable to find any account of a Government project dealing with the love-life of a frog. It Is true that someone wrot into the Depart ment of Agriculture to inquire how far a flea could Jump, and that one of our entomologists, after a brief search through the scientific litera ture on fleas, was able to make a suitable reply. The publicist who ridiculed the Department for this, Jumped In a variety of Inaccurate conclusions, one of them being that special and expensive research was Involved and another being that fleas, from whatever aspect, are screamingly funny. They seem to be In the same category with spinach. As many of you know, research on fleas including a knowledge of how far they can Jump has been fairly Important for the human race. For through this research It via Warned, back in 1906, that the dread bubonic plague was carried from rata to man by fleas. The knowledge of how far a flea could actually jump waa of considerable importance in fighting outbreaks of the plague shortly t-wre-after. I don't believe 5 should have been ashamed to have had the Depart ment of Agriculture discover that knowledge, auuislng though the very subject of f.eaa may he to a publicist with an ex to grind - Get the Facts Yourself HPHE opposition to the state sales tai is purely political. The A primary purpose behind the opposition, is not to better the financial situation in this state, but to get votes. And such opposition probably will get votes. For appeals to class prejudice, are very fruitful politically at all times, but particularly at the present time, when the people as a whole are discontented, and eager to find a goat. So the sales tax is pictured as a "rich man's tax", some thing that should be defeated for the benefit of the common man, the way to solve the tax problem in this state, is simple merely spend less money for public purposes. ' We only wish it WERE as simple as that. Everyone favors the spending of less money for public purposes, and if the state and county budgets could be balanced by reducing expenses in state administration, everyone would be for it. But they can't be and every well informed person, includ ing many of the opponents of the sales tax, knows it. For the routine business of the state has to go on. Just as the business of the counties and the cities has to go on. Econ omies have already been introduced, expenditures have been reduced, salaries have been cut, more cuts can be made per haps, but not enough to materially improve the essential situ ation. THE sales tax opponents ARE correct in this, only in the direction of rigid economy can state bankruptcy be avoid ed, if the sales tax is defeated. For the property tax has fallen down. The income tax has reached the point of diminishing returns. With the defeat of the sales tax the only way out of the mess, will be to spend less money keep expenditures down to income. WHAT will this meant Well in the first place, here" in Jackson county it will undoubtedly mean crippling or closing the Ashland Normal. It will mean radical curtailment of state agricultural research and experimentation. It will mean, crippling our public school system and perhaps closing many schools. For the proceeds of the sales tax are to be devoted first to the school funds in the various counties. Without this revenue, and with the situation what it is, the school system can not be carried on, as it is, and has been carried on. WE CAN'T have our cake and eat it. If we refuse to accept a sales tax, then a special session of the legislature must be called, the entire tax problem reopened, and other ways devised for meeting our debt charges and administrative ex penses. We have yet to hear from the sales tax opponents any other way to do this than cutting down expenditures. In their own interest the people should carefully determine just what such a cutting down and the community in which they' live, before they decide to fall for the propaganda of self-interested politicians and vote against the sales tax. Let them get ALL the facts. Let them regard the matter not as a political issue, but as a business problem for that is what it is. Then let them vote NOT in the interest of some office seek ers, but in their own self interest, and the sales tax will win. A Matter of Bookkeeping A SUBSCRIBER asks how with such a flood of money from Washington to help the people of this country, there can be any hope of balancing the budget. Instead of expenditures being less, under President Roosevelt's administration than under President Hoover's, he maintains they have been more. Well, no doubt he is right regarding the expenditures. But the budget is largely a matter of tures are placed under the budget and others are not. Those that are from funds, raised by bond issues for example are not. This total exceeds five billion for alone. This means a reduction of the budget by that amount when gross expenditures are considered. Congress also gave the president power to reduce administrative expenditures by another billion. So we have over six billion cut off. Even so the budget has not been balanced as yet. It prob ably won't be not this year at least. But it is not so far out of balance aa our subscriber would suppose. It is merely because budget balancing is a matter of how the books are kept, not how much money is paid out of the fed eral treasury, in any fiscal year. Communications Appreciate Loco!

Too Much Fighting To the Wltor: It la with much amuaem.nt and eome pity, that we view the attempt of a email group of aeml-abolltlonlata, In the effort to keep the pot of poll tlca. boiling by Irtroductng a ac-cai:-ed fighter Into the race for the echool board. I am forced to believe that harmony In the admlntatretlcn. of any kind of government In thla eec tlon la not deetred.

Certain expendi the present session of congress Many of '.he frlenda of the petition who etgaed the aama, realising the diaaatroua reaulta any further dissen sion would cause to buelnese, hare found that they do not hay to vote a the petition would Indicate. By the atatement of the auperlnten dent of school,, we find that the prea ent board haa very materially re duced the operating rxpenae of tlila echool eyatera. Henoe extravagance cannot be an laaue.

Mr. Plpea In hla atatement of tup port of Mr. PMppe atatee that we need "a true oroaa-aectlon of public opin ion."

To the Bailor: Answering Mr. Hedrlck'a denial that tha operating echool budget for the coming year la approximately geftoo greaur than the budget for the prewnt year year Juat closing, I again etate that my ftgurea are correct, and will now point out to Mr. Hed rlcjt, and to the voters and taxpayers, the Joker, which was quite cleverly put over on the publio through the means of "controlled publicity." Mr. Hediir k atatee that for the year Juat closing, the budget aa published (In November, 19.11) waa S3S3.0O0. T.nla la correct: and do not forget that It waa upon thla budget that the :ax levy was made and now atanda agalnat your property and mine.

William Brady In car of The Mali Tribune. THE CURE OF PILES BY INJECTION Physicians are notoriously gullible about investing in gold mine stock and that sort of thing. Pastors, I think, are quite as credulous about remedies or cures. Here la a letter from the Rev. and he says some thing Interesting to a large por tion of the popu lation: "When I waa pastor of the church in I had arranged for the usual surgical oper ation for a long-standing case of bleeding piles (30 years and very severe). But I heard of Dr. . X took several treatments. Each was perhaps three minutes long and was painless and I was able to ride my bicycle home. The treatment waa perfect and perma nent In results. "I was afterward Informed by one of the leading physicians of my city that the method was ex ceedingly dangerous. My family physician slso told me I wss a lucky man to escape bad results. On the other hand I had several psrlshloners who were cured by the same method and I have never heard of any unfavorable result." At the time the pastor wrote (five years ago) I think I agreed with the family physician and the "leading physician that the treatment of piles by chemical Injections was danger ous. That is a tradition which comes down to us. In the regular medical profession, I don't know from what ancient and venerable source. It js part of our traditional prejudice against the chemical obliteration of varicose veins, the electro-surgical extrlpatlon of diseased tonsils and the chemical obliteration of hernia. In every instance, I now believe, thla an tiquated policy of ours Is based on nothing more than theory, assump tion and here and there an atrocity committed by some quack. What a difference five years makes! I mean in my own attitude I do not pretend to speak for the medical pro fession or for any particular clique of physicians. I speak for myself. I give you my honest opinion. Take It or leave It. At present the very best medical men are employing with considerable success and satisfaction all of these methods which we formerly deemed "dangerous." Not exclusively, but In you that In March following the adoption of this budget, be and his board made another budget for the same year, and slashed their over head 950,000 and announced to the public that they would save the tax payers 950,000. As a matter of fact, there waa not a dollar saved to the taxpayers. The levy had already been made upon the $333,000 published budget. Even though they did act ually els&h their overhead $50,000, they did not because they anticipated a large tax delinquency, well know ing they would not have the money to spend. When these tax delin quencies are paid, this $50,000 (so called saving will be available for the school district which will pro vide new impetus for further extrava gant spending. The second budget which they adoptod (not the published budget) but the one under which they operated this year, provided for oper ating cost of $207,741. The one they have adopted for next year provides for operating cost of $314,118. an in crease of $6377. I challenge Mr. Hed rlck to further deny this. A. W. PIPES. Medford, June 16.

Likewise these leas radical and less disabling metthoda ar etoday being more and more employed by the better physicians, yet are by no means the only proper methods In all cases. My own opinion, speaking as a plain physician, not as a specialist, is that the chemical Injection treatment of plies Is the most satisfactory method for about three-fourths of the pa tients who come to the pbyslcan with this trouble. When It Is applicable the patient may rest assured that If his physician la a reputable on the method la quite as safe as any other treatment that is curative.
