Reld, Murdook and 00 cannera of the Monarch Brand Bartlett Pears will be represented at Medford this aaaaon by Myron Root, The "No's" Have It! THB people of Oregon, at the cided "No" mood. Only one affirmative proposal, at the present writing, bag definitely been put over. 'This is the repeal of state and federal prohibition. The people voted "yes" on this about two to one. - But ACTUALLY this wag a ed "no" to further prohibition. other measures, which promised "No" to further state bonuses further power bond issues; "no" to modification of the grand jury system. Under this tidal wave of "no's"; none of the desirable "yes" measures had a chance. The It was ever thus. We like to but Vox Populi doesn't. It is MAD. And the people ae still mad. They want to find a goat and they want to hit that goat with' a ton of bricks. The affirmative measures in this proach to a goat they could find. So down went his goatship like Walter Winchell before the bare knuckle attack of that sentimental "mammy" singer, TPHEBE will be considerable The Bootleggers and Moonshiners "got heirs;" the bonus mess in this state will be cleared up; the people can still vote bonds for publio improvements, and those who CAN'T afford to buy butter, can buy oleo without paying a tax for the privilege. ALL OF WHICH IS TO THE GOOD I The "Wet" Vlctdry "TMIE Mail Tribune is pleased LOUDLY over the repeal a foregone conclusion. The chief obstacle to, a proper solu tion of the liquor problem, has been removed, but another problem equally serious takes 'its place. This problem is what to do with liquor now we have it or soon will have it. The solution of this problem will take the best intelligence and judgment that we possess. DELEASING liquor without a definite system of strict reg illation and control, will result in conditions, more demoralizing and destructive, than existed, under national prohibition. Such an outcome would result in a popular re action, putting us back where we started from, with no chance for betterment during the present generation. IN our judgment a special session of the legislature Bhould be called as soon as possible. A definite system of state con trol, similar to the Canadian system,' should be adopted, ready to be put in force the minute the 18th amendment is repealed. This system should have three main objectives : First, render any return of the old time saloon IMPOSSIBLE; sec ond, provide a revenue tax high enough to relieve the over burdened tax payer, and NOT so high as to encourage the return of the bootlegger; third, provide drastic penalties, for abuse of liquor or infraction of the liquor laws, and SEE THAT THESE. LAWS ARE ENFORCED I TPHE latter is perhaps the most important. And toward that end, an aroused and militant public opinion is the first essential. It is not too early to start zen, to appoint himself a committee of one, to see that the element that brought about prohibition, is not to return, now that prohibition has been done away with. This element is briefly, the ring, that had but one purpose in view, to make all the money the liquor traffio would boar, regardless of the moral conse quences, regardless of the degradation, corruption, and de privation that might result. Publio opinion is the only in the formation of thia publio whether theoretically a wet or a DO HIS BIT1 What to 'T'HE sales tax was beaten ,at the start. The only questiqn was the size of the majority against The vote in oppo sition, overwhelming as it was throughout the state particu larly in Multnomah, was not as large as it would have been a month ago, when practically everyone was against it. Had the people clearly understood the measure, we still1! believe, it would have passed. But the campaign of misrepre sentation againRt it, reinforced by that sure-fire political wea pon, appeals to class prejudice, rendered any clear under standing Impossible. It was impossible to convince the people the sales tax was not "just another tax." That it would NOT mean adding a new "visible" tax to everything they might buy. They couldn't get to the polls quick enough to vote down "more taxes." Nor could they see that it was merely an emergency tax, a stop-gap to meet a critical financial situation rendered nec essary, by the most serious tax situation in the history of this state. So, as expected, it went down tinder an avalanche of votes. e a e a VTERE we living under a real representative government, " the aales tax would have been put in force, six months ago, and six months hence, everyone would hsve liked it. But we don't We elect representatives, who go to Salem, and after careful study and thought, decide on certain things they believe best for the state, then the people who have elected them, proceed to undo what they have done at the first opportunity and in a few months, repeat the farce and elect them again. As a result we have no representative govern ment, such as our forefathers in their wisdom, designed. We have DIRECT government Which in our opinion isn't as good, but it is the sort of government, we are going to have nevertheless, so we might as well make the best of it. W HAT to do nowt Well, as is, only one thing to do Friday election were in a de- '"No" vote. The people shout They shouted "no" on the to have affirmative majorities. for war veterans, "no" to good went down with the bad. think Vox Populi discriminates, fails to, particularly when it election . were the nearest ap Al Jolson. . salvage from the wreck however. but not disposed to cheer very of prohibition. The result was NOW, and for every good citi old brewery-distillery political . thing that can atop this. And opinion, every good citizen, dry, should prepare now to Do Now? stated in the campaign, there barring i miracle the miracle being that some new Columbus, discover a new and rich source of public revenue. (Perhaps a state liquor tax would help but we fear, will never aolve the problem). What to do! There is only one answer: Tha't ia to reduce public expenditures to the bone in fact to the marrow. Taxing incomes has reached the limit. Taxing gas has reached the limit, property has PASSED the limit.' Yet bills must be paid and there is no money with which to pay them. The state as we see it, can only do what the individual under similar circumstances must do hold off his creditors and stop spending. That may sound easy, but we fear even some of the most violent opponents of the sales tax will admit before the pro cess is completed, that it ISN'T. . We live and learn. We shall see, WHAT we shall see! Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.D. Signed letteri pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to dis ease diagnosis w treatment will be answered by Dr. Brady If a stamped elf-addressed envelope Is enclosed, tetters should be brief and written In Ink. Owing to tbe large number of letters received only a few can be answered here. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to in structions. Address Dr. William Brady, 265 El Camlno, Beverly Hills. Cat Borne time ago, says a reader, J sent for your Iodln Ration mono graph. I want to tell you of the wonderful result. My 16 - year - old daughter has been under a doctor's care for more than a year, for anemia. That was over come by the doc tor's treatment but she still suf fered from a kind of chronic fatigue which seemed Im possible to over come. She has been ready for college since Febru ary but unable to go because of this great fatigue. I gava her the Iodln Ration according to your Instruc tions. The result has been simply unbelievable. The doctor told me to keep right on with It. She la start ing her college course this week and Bfte Is very happy, aa I am also, and most gratful for your help. She was ao tired she couldn't enjoy life aa other young people do, and now she Is bubbling over most of the time. Accept my heartfelt thanks. - (Mrs. B. H. G.) The "tired business man" Is a mere euphemism. The tired college or high school girl Is a sad and frequent phenomenon, though I have a no tion she has brightened up consider ably since Iodized salt was placed on tho market, accessibly to the gen eral public. Yet even If this Iodized salt (containing approximately a grain of Iodln In each pound) scarce ly produces enough Iodln for the needs of the body, so I believe every one should supplement the Iodln that may be present naturally in food and that which one gets In Iodized aait with some definite ration to be taken at regular Intervals. Tflils has proved not only harmless but actually bene ficial in exophthalmic goitre as well as In the common enedemlo goitre of school children. Xodin Is an essential element la the functional efficiency of the thyroid gland. No room to discuss the thy roid function here, save to say that It has much to do with the physical and mental development of young person, and particularly girls. The young girl whose thryroid luna tion Is deficient may or may not show a swelling In the neck above the breastbone either constantly or Intermittently. She Is certain to be languid, sleepy, melancholy and apa thetic Instead of vivacious and full of fun aa a healthy girl should be. Editorial Comment Klajinth Isn't Pleased. Klamath Falls haa been made a rather unwilling host to tha trowel corned Medford ballot theft case. A change In venue granted Earl H. Fehl, Jackson county Judge, will bring this now notorious story of political per version directly Into our midst when tha trial opens In the circuit court Monday morning. We would be happy to atand aside and wltnes this unfortunste event from afar. But tha citizens of this county, we are sure, will provide a Jury of Intelligent men and women. Such a Jury waa Impossible In Jack son county where high prejudice had been developed In months-long tur moil bringing murder and Imprison ments. The turmoil la not over yet. The circuit court here will be occu pied Indefinitely with thia Medford esse. - Four other defendanta have Joined with Judge Fehl In asking the change of venue. Let us hope for the speed and Justice In an affair unat tractive to the southern Oregon country. Klsmsth Fall Herald. "Heroic Stunt." We get a "boot" out of the testi mony of one of the prlnclpsls in the Medford ballot theft trial. He said. We were all bamboorled by L. A. Banks and told that tha ateallng of the ballota would be a heroic atunt and in no way a crime." Thia tima from Virgil Edlngton. who was relessed from the charge of ballot atealtng to become a state's witness. ' He gave his testimony dur ing the trlsl of Gordon L. Schermer horn, sheriff of Jackson county st the time the ballota wer taken. "Bambooeled" la rlghtl When the administration of governmental af fairs becomes a Joke and Interference heroic atunt It'll be time to take Adolf Httler'a advice and throw away representative government. Id Invi to n'a ststement reveals how those people of Medford who got "In Dutch" allowed themselves to be blindly led by one who had either lost his re spect for lsw and order or dldnt take his government aertously. It Just happens thst Ballot tam pering la a crime. And tha results of most of those ballot theft trials over In Medford show that the cltlaens of Jackson county cant see the ballot theft aa a Joke or a "heroic stunt." It you resolv. to play "follow the leader' In politics and government. be sure of your leader. Klamath Falls Herald. M 3tl I am not going to give any more symptoms of this hypothyroidism of youth. Perhaps I have said enough already to make mama take steps. If only she takes steps In the right di rection It will be a happy day for daughter. Yes, of course, I'll send instruc tions for taking a suitable Iodln Ra tion to any correspondent who asks for It and encloses a stamped envel ope bearing the correct address. But I urge parents who have a moping daughter, or even a 'young son uaduly subject to lassitude, to give the child the benefit of medi cal advice. Thia la a good occasion for a healtb examination by the fam ily physician, and perhaps a bit of confidential instruction or advice.
