Indefatigable lying Is no longer a Sead Immortal cinch In thl vicin ity aa a meana of defeating Justice. m It begin, to look like the Fourth of July celebrant, who patriotically blow, off a finger, will freeze to death before lockjaw get, him. People are now comparing Mr. Hoo ver with Mr. Roosevelt, aaylng the former when Prealdent. went to aea on a battleahlp, and latter, atarta oft cross the raging watera in a axui. Thl, may be a great saving to the nation, but many prefer their chief executive on a battleahlp, Instead of a boat that can't atand much pun ishment from the waves.

Plerpont Morgana, PUFFING A PII.L (Oklahoma City Times) The gentle breeze of thla aprlng morning lift, and apreada apart your beautiful flowing hair. Ita freahneaa, full of vigor, casta a aheen like the golden glow In summer sunset. Let not the stifling atale and stagnant smoke of a hslf-llt spittle-soaked cigarette atreak It down In mot tled ropea full of foul fragments of frivolous folly. The gentle touch of your baby-soft hand fondles my tired face with soothing effectiveness like balm to the biblical nomad. Let not the burning embers of parching nicotine cook end color your dainty fingers until they lone their softness of velvet and become hard, oalsomlned, clumsy and cultivated only to tip and tap collected ashes from a smold ering sedative. Jim Bates, the chlnwhacker, still clings to the theory that If every body would get drunk, the taxes would be reduced. ... A he-movle star, by the name ol Clark aable la listed as the "great ret screen lover." Mr. Osble Is not handicapped much by the material he haa to work with. The Bill Gore corner diplomats, economist, and savants have quit fretting about tturope. Oregon now clalma the record for ewlftnesa of Justice, landing a bank robber In the "Big House," In the outstanding time of B2 hours, with no time out to comb his hslr. There, however, have been ttmea when Ore gon Justice was undecided whether It wss a snsll or a 4d, and besides took Ita time. Several times an Ore gon defendant haa announced that Oregon, not the defendant wss on trial, and the state, not the defend ant was convicted though the Jury reported otherwise. Patty Arbuckle died yesterday. He was the first of the film comedisns to win fsme and fortune. In his day he threw a mean custard pie. an accurate barret stave, and was adept at having a garden hose wan der up his leg. causing grent glee for everybody likes to see somebody else .get. wet. He flourished when nothing msttered but prohibition, and everybody wsa running for of fice aa a dry and winning. One night In Ban Francisco, there were women and liquor, and a tragedy. Arbuckle made the mistake of get ting caught. The nation In Ita righteousness, turned against him. and sneaked up the alley for another drink. He was never forgiven, though eyes were closed to more film smut, thin Arbuckle ever dreamed. Whenever he tried to rise, resolutions of women's clubs and city councils smacked him down again. Many troubles came to Ar buckle, but he was never publicly unhappy about It. He waa game rhlch despite all his faults, was something. . TOKIO. Friday, June SO (UP) The Japanese government haa de cided to forego previous courtesies and facilities accorded Joeef Wash ington Hall. American writer, when he arrive tomorrow with a party of thirty American tourists, the news paper Asehl reported today. The government', decision, the newtpsper said, resulted from Hall's recent articles in American maga ylnea. which were considered antl Jspanes. Hsll write under the nom de plume Upton clo4. To government heretofore ha Do You Want Lower Taxes? A S everyone know. Oregon ffwes a critical financial situation. " It has interest charges and operation coats to meet, which MUST be met in some way, or the state will have to go into bankruptcy. State bankruptcy would be a calamity from which it would take Oregon years to recover. Needless to say the worst depression in the country's history has caused this situation. The chief cause of the crisis, is the failure of the property tax, which has been the main source of state revenue for generations. Property tax delinquency ranges from 50 to 80 percent. The overage is around 65 percent. To employ a common financial term, the main financial assets of the state are frozen. TT'IIIS critical situation isn't new. It existed when the last session of the Btate legislature met, only it is even MORE acute now. The solution of the problem was the chief concern of this session. After going over the entire problem from every angle, hearing evidence and receiving suggestions from nil quarters, securing the views of Governor Meier, and the state tax com mission, it was universally agreed that the only way out of the mess was to pass a state sales tax. At the outset there was considerable opposition to a sales tax, particularly in the legislature, but the more those opposed STUDIED the situation, the more they became convinced that this was the only way. A DMINISTRATIVE costs were cut to the bone, the income tax was raised to the point of diminishing returns, every possible source of new tax revenue was scrutinized, and still, without the sales tax, no practical way of balancing the state budget, was discovered. So by large majorities in both houses the sales tax waa PASSED, to meet the emergency, with the understanding that it was only an emergency measure, which would be automatically repealed, at the end of three years. KTOW this tax the entire tax program in fact, comes before ' the people of the state, at the coming election, for their acceptance or rejection. The same general prejudice against the sales tax that existed at the opening of the last legislative session, now exists through out the state; but we are convinced that if the people of the state, THE AVERAGE VOTER studies this tax, and the place it occupies in the entire financial picture, he will come to the same conclusion the members of the legislature came to, THAT Tip PASSAGE OF THE SALES TAX IS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF A BAD SITUATION. So this paper EARNESTLY appeals to its readers to care fully study this tax for themselves, as well as the entire tax situation, before they follow appeals to their prejudices, swal low political misrepresentations, nnd vote the tax down. For if this tax IS defeated, and things allowed to run along us tbey are, then nothing can prevent state bankruptcy. Such a defeat will therefore necessitate the calling of a special session of the legislature at more cost to the tax payers to go over the entire tax situation again, and find some OTHER way out. BUT everyone familiar with the real situation, knows there is only ONE OTHER way out. With the sales tax out of the picture, the only possible way to balance the statcbudget then will be to further curtail state expenses. That may sound easy to the rabid sales-tax opponents, but we have yet to hear from any of them just how it is to be done. In fact thoro is one striking feature of this sales tax campaign thus far, there are plenty of people against it, but as yet no single objector who has presented a concrete tax plan, to be adopted IN ITS PLACE. YET SOMETHING must be adopted in its place, if the measure fails. What will that bet Think that over seri ously, Mr. Taxpayer, before you mark your ballot three weeks hence, for this is YOUR problem, not ours, or the governor's, or the legislature's it is the Oregon taxpayers' problem. If the taxpayers refuse a sales tax, then they must accept some thing else for we repeat, the oniy alternative is to put the state of Oregon into the hands of a receiver. A FEW things about that alternative are fairly certain. The program of higher education as at present cstoblished, in this state will have to be abandoned, such institutions as the Ashland Normal will have to be given up, 'and as the proceeds of the sales tax are to be devoted to the local school funds, our system of secondary education will have to suffer. Once the sales tax is defeated, there will be no escape. Do you prefer such an outcome, Mr. Taxpayer, to paying a sales tax, which is NOT a new tax, but is merely an offset tax, to relieve the present burden on real property! If you do then vote against it. If you DON'T, then vote for it. j IT'S up to yon. "Vox populi, Vox Dei!" But whatever you i 1 do, DON'T do this. DON'T vote on this sales tax blindly, j without studying it and all its provisions carefully. Don't as-! sume that, voting against the tax will reduce your tax bill by just that much, for it will do nothing of the sort. In fact, it will increase the rural property tax in Jackson county, in some esses from 20 to 30 percent (by failure to reduce it that much), it will throw a monkey-wrench into the entire public school system, and the state system of higher education, as well. rVONT take our word for it. Go to those who KNOW. Ask County Assessor Coleman about it by all odds the most trustworthy source of accurate tax information in Southern Oregon, ask Legislator Earl Day of Sams Valley, who is a rancher and cattleman, and knows from practical experience the farmers' tax problem, and all the details of this sales tax ask the members of the state tax commission who have no axe to grind are not running for public office but are only in terested in the best solution of the state's tax problems. Then think it over for yourself. We repeat it is YOUR problem. If you refuse to vote for a better tax system WHEN it is offered, and blindly follow the word of those politicians who are trying to ride into public office, by capitalizing on ignorance and class prejudice, then don't complain when the! final disaster comes. For you have, no one but yourself to blame 1 Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.D. Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to dls- ! ease diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady If stamped self-addressed envelop la eticlod.

Kb Some "nervous" folk belong In Class A they are Just too dumb to com prehend or to find out whst reaUy all them. The rest are In Class B sheer nervous 1m posters. If you're a neurotic or a neurasthenic or nervous wreck, decide for your aelf whether you rate an A or a B. I'll never tell you. Today class A neurotic get break. I'm going to give a pre. acrlptlon for what all t least a few ol them. Mind, now, almple souls, I am not offering a nerve tonic nor a remedy for bad nervea. I am giving simply a good home remedy for a condition whlcn really accounts for the 111 health soma simple souls sscrlbe to "nervous trouble." Don't lose sight f the fact I have so often tried to Impress upon you that In reality there la no such thing as nervoua exhaustion or nerv ous breakdown or worn nerves. The condition that accounta for the 111 health of certain person who a. sume they are Buffering from "nervea" Is anemia, a deficiency of the hemo globin In the blood. The hemoglobin la the substance which Imparts red color to the blood: It la slmltsr to the ohlorophyl which imparts green color to plants. But the Importance of hemoglobin Is not merely that It makes the blood red, but Its function In the body. Its function Is to carry oxygen to the tissue or cell of the body and to carry back to the lungs the carbon dioxide which these tis sues or cells constantly give off as long aa life last. The remedy I auggest for thl ane mia la reduced Iron. Thl 1 a light, tasteless powder, soft to the touch, Iron-gray In color. If It Is black It Is not good. It Is best taken In cap sulee, and an adequate dose Is 15 grains of the reduced Iron, after food. three time a day, over a period of two month or more. That's a lot of iron. Nearly a much In a day a the blood of a strong man contains. But I say that l the adequate dose, and any less Is Inade quate. Of course Iron darkens or blackens the dejecta. But this form of Iron neither Injures the teeth nor causes constipation. That's all there 1. If any neurotic writes In for further guarantiee or special advice about the medicine, or If anybody else wants to know wheth er It would be good for paralysis or liver complaint, I'm going to be so dumb that you'll be sorry for me. Make me Just about wild when ever I try to do a kind deed 'Ike this, to receive orders from a lot of ga loots to send full partlcuUrs concern ing the cure for nervous breakdown which they understand I recommend. Once more, I suggest thl course of Iron merely a a good remedy for anemia. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Comedy oil the Air.
