charge a toll for the privilege and
thus be among the earliest to

the first prospective customers to

Just Another Murder- That's All
ANOTHER murder cold blooded and wauton in Southern
Oregon. One naturally inquire what ii the matter with
this section of the state t
The answer is nothing, at least nothing that ii not the mat
ter with the country at large.
Southern Oregon ia merely suffering its SHARE of t crime
wave which is nation wide.
.....
OUR two recent murders had one striking feature in common.
They were not committed in the heat of passion, they were
deliberate, cold blooded, and from the standpoint of rational
action NEEDLESS.'
The shocking feature of both was that neither was neces
sary, all decent, right thinking citizens ask why WHY was
an unoffending human life snuffed out, when all the officer of
the law was doing, was his duty all that he asked was that if
there had been a violation of law, it be cleared up.
. . . .
rPIIE answer is, that this "clearing up" is precisely what the
individuals concerned refused to allow. They were willing
to add murder, to whatever other minor crimes they had com
mitted, to avoid such a personal INCONVENIENCE 1
"Inconvenience" may not appear the proper term, at first
blush. And yet we believe careful analysis will establish its
general validity.
Officers Prescott and Baucom were shot down in cold blood,
primurily because they dared to interfere with individual who
had become outlaws individuals who deliberately placed
themselves ABOVE the law, and were not to be thwarted, in
that determination. If they had to kill to gain their IMME
DIATE ends, they would kill with a little compunction or re
morse, as if called upon to run over a rabbit, that lay in their
path.
A murder or twof Why, it's all in the day's work!
T'S this feature, tile perfectly wanton, casual fashion, in
which unoffending citizens and peace officers are shot down
thnt has so shocked the people of Southern Oregon, and led
them to wonder if there isn't something essentially wrong and
abnormal about this section of the country.
But if one will take the trouble to analyze the crime wave,
throughout the country, it will be found that this characteristic
is not peculiar to locul crime, but ia found in violent crime from
one end of the land to the other.
Some outlaw is offended t Why he shoots the offender,
down. Some business doesn't obey the order, of the gang, the
business is bombed, the proprietor shot down, by machine-gun
fire. Slurderf WHAT'S murder! In the world of crime, it's
more routine. Moreover it's the most efficient way to destroy
evidence, the shortest route to escape, and if the murderer is
caught it's about a ten to one shot be will never hang for it.
'T'llIS ia the oriminal code, the established practice of the
underworld, In the larger cities such murders are taken
as a matter of course, the people have become accustomed to
them. Out in the wido onen snaee we Imven't w urn still
shocked, uncomprehending, we
ing to, wlien such tilings can happen.
,, Well they have been happeuing for many years. The crime
wave has been running along in high, for over a decade. It only
reached this part of the oountry a little late, THAT'S ALL I
What s to Be Done About It?
VITELL what are we going to do about itt We have previ
"V 01ISy stated in this column one thing we believe should
be done about it. We believe the government should take a
hand in putting down the crime wave, aid the states, place
the tremendous power of the government behind law enforce
ment, declare war on the underworld and organized crime, and
carry on that war to a finish.
We also believe there should be a radical change in our crim
inal procedure. Instead of having all legal practice favor the
criminul, tie the.hamla of the state, emphasis should be placed
upon bringing the criminal to prompt and certain justice, give
the law-abiding people for once a square deal.
Criminal lawyers who openly resort to perjury, jury fixing
and every trick of the profession to free the guilty should no
longer receive the protection of their profession, but should be
placed whore they belong with other criminals, in jail.
TNLESS radical action is taken soon, if we as a people con
tintie to just muddle along, then the crime wave will go
on and on, until nowhere in this country, will either property
or life be secure. Then there will be only one outcome either
martini law, or a revival of the vigilante system.
We refuse to believe the American people have fallen as low
as that that their capacity for effective law enforcement and
successful self-government, has so declined, that they must
go back to a system only justified by the confusion aud atavistic
tendencies of pioneer daya I
State Police Score Again
liriTHIN three hours after the killing of State Toliceman
Burrell Baucom on the Tacifia highway at Sexton moun
tain (ne ar Grants Tass), Baucom 'a fellow-officei-s in the state
service had his alleged murderers under arrest. Only a week
ago, the state police did a beautiful piece of work in running
down the bandit who held up the Aumsville bauk.
The state police system has more than justified itself by
efficient work. Jt has proved the contention that a atate-wide,
unified system of policing is the only effective machinery
against the modern motorized crook. Chief Charles Tray has
built up a force which ia a credit to the state.
In their dealings with citizens, the officers almost without
exception, have shown themselves tactful and considerate. They
are "poison" to crooks. (Eugene Register Guards

DIET AND AP PENDICITIS.
The appendix ha an abundance of
lymphoid tissue around Its base, tis
sue like the structure of the tonsils.
This ttct has led
s o n e physicians
to believe that
the appendix, at
least in children,
may have a lym
phatic function
like that of the
tonsils In early
life. Especially
the function of
guarding against
the entrance of
Infections. The
round cells of
lymphoid tissue probably serve to at
tack and destroy Invading germs,
much as do the famous phagocytes
or white blood corpuscles. The lym
phoid cells can serve this useful pur
pose only If they are normal. When
the lymphoid tissue Is damaged by
Infection It can no longer perform Its
protective function. But this does
not mean that ve should attempt to
remove the entire tonsil, for Instance,
when there Is a focus of Infection, a
aeptlo focus, a small abscess In it.
More and more thinking physicians
are getting away from the old atti
tude of radical removal of the tonsils.
The happy result gained from the
simple drainage or disinfection or
sterilizing of the septic focus In the
tonsil, by the modern diathermy or
electro-coagulation method, has con
vinced many good physicians that th
older radical view was unjustified. Be
sides radical surgery subjected many
patients to unwarranted risks.
Dr. B. Bperk presents In Wiener
kllnlsche Wochenschrlft (Vienna, Mar.
17, '33) conclusions he has drawn
from hla studies and researches on the
appendix. He thinks the development
of the lymphoid tissue of the appen
dix depends on the contact with the
Intestinal contents and the duration
of the retention of these contents.
He regards the character of the diet
as Important. The character of the
diet largely control the bacterial flora
of the Intestinal canal, that Is, It de
termines what types of germs shall
predominate.
Thus a diet that Is largely vegeta
rian tends to promote more raptd
passage of the residues through the
Intestine, whereas a diet that Includes
much protein, particularly meat, fa
vors slower passage of the residue
through the canal.
Dr. Bperk says persons who eat a
Stood dsal of meat require compare,
tlvely more physical activity, for that
favors a more rapid passage of the

Communications
Cfllls It Sour Grapes.
To the Editor:
Tour Sunday editorial entitled
"Prlmo the Big Prime," to me, sounds
like a case of very sour grapes.
Doea the fact that Camera was dis
covered in a circus, performing feats
of strength, lessen him any In the
eyes of the editorial staff of the Med
ford Mall Tribune? It seems to me
that regardless of where a fighter re
ceives hla early training, whether It
was In a circus, In the mines of Colo
rado, in the wilds of South America
or In the U. S. navy, should by no
means be a handicap to htm If he Is
capable of being the world's heavy
weight boxing champion, a title that
every ham 'and agger In the heavy
weight division longs for.
Can you name any ports that have
not become more or lees commercial
ised In the last few years? How about
football, baseball, basketball, golf and
even now tt Is bridge and I am under
the Impression that rule governing
the sire of heavyweight fighters have
yet to be added to the list. A few
years ago, Med ford high had a foot
ball team that compared favorably
In weight and slsa to moat college
elevens on the coast that year and
when they crashed through the much
smaller and lighter lines of competi
tive high schools to the tuna of over
whelming scores and the state cham
pionship, I don't recall the reading of
anything In your editorial column at
that time to the effect of matching
football teams, according to sire and
weights. This Is all In the game, and
Is expected.
In this last fight, the old saytnc
of "the bigger they ara, the barter
they fall" sure took one on the vhtn
and Sharkey's gentle boasting via
the Art Shires route, about what he
would do to Camera on the night
of June 30. turned out to be Just
mora Aharkey talk and It la very ap
parent that someone connected with
your editorial staff U much put out

residues and consequently less protein
putrefaction. He thinks that too
much protein, especially meat, in the
diet, along with Insufficient physical
activity, and the constipation that
commonly goes with these conditions.
Is a factor of appendicitis, but not
the only factor. He does not advocate
vegetarianism, but he doea consider
a diet with a high meat content Inad
visable for persons with sedentary oc
cupations. A pretty good rule is to insist on
having not less than three vegetables
(including one relish or raw vegetable
of fame kind) with every helping of
meat one eats.
It should not be understood from
this that meat la "constipating." It
Isn't. No food Is constipating. It
Just Isn't aa laxative aa vegetables,
greens and the like.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Eating Halt.
I eat more salt than any one else
X know. Is It harmful to my health
In any way? Miss K. A.
Answer Too much salt will cause
first flabby or logy overweight, and
later dropsy. Including all the salt
naturally present In meat and that
added In cooking or at table, probably
a teaspoonful a day Is not excessive.
Don't Take Food Too Seriously.
I can't seem to get the rights of
this acid food business . . . R. M. J.
Answer Well, don't let it worry
you. Who does and anyway why
hould he? Send a dime and a stamp
ed envelope bearing your address, for
the booklet "Guide to Right Eating."
Pin Worms,
It Is easy for a mother to know
whether her child has pinworms and
easy to get rid of them. My child
walked in his sleep, but after I dis
covered he had pinworms and got rid
of about 30. he had no further trou
ble. Let the mother take the child
on her lap and hold the fundament
open by pressing away with her hand
at either side the worms will crawl
out and may be caught in paper and
burned. The first evening there were
about 30. the second 15, and after
that there may be no more than per
haps one or two etrsgglers. Mrs. L.
M. LeP.
Answer Thank you. I hope other
mothers who find such a simple
treatment effective or Ineffective will
report their experience.

do not believe that the heavyweight
crown will carry the odor of garlic
but a very short time. But I do be
lieve that Camera won the title fair
and square and whether he was a cir
cus freak or a deck swabber for Uncle
Sam, It makes no difference to the
fight fans who keep in bread and
butter, or is It (Dago red and over-
slued shoes), as long as he can take
'em on the chin and packs the pay-off
puncn and it sure looks like he can
do both in a big way.

There Is a better reason why the
Investigation will not be so hot from
now on. It hsa no money. The com

while congress was In session. Now It
cannot get any until next January.
The Long Investigation was ended
for all practical purpoaea when the in
vestlgatora bottled up the Howell
resolution to appropriate (25,000 for
continuing the Inquiry. Ordinarily
such resolutions go to the senate com

An exception was made In this case.
The resolution was side-tracked to
the committee conducting the Inves
tigation. That was last February.
