(Associated Press Photo) Get Out the Vote! 'TWERE is a general feeling of confidence that the sewer bonds will pass tomorrow by an overwhelming majority. This feeling is not justified. Under present circumstances any bond issue proposal will meet with strong opposition the people as a wholo are not in a bond-voting'mood. And those opposed can be depended upon to go to the polls, and vote accordingly. This opposition vote must be reckoned with, and unless the proponents of the measure shake off their unwarranted over confidence, GO TO THE POLLS THEMSELVES AND SEE THAT -THEIR FRIENDS DO LIKEWISE, this bond issue may easily be defeated, by default. 'T'lIE sewer bonds SHOULD pass, for probably a more ONE- sided proposition has never been presented to Medford voters. In the first place a proper sewage disposal plant is greatly needed, to protect the health of the people of this city, to pre vent further costly damage suits against the city (the city has lost all thnt have been instituted.) In the second place, voting these bonds, means to' support the program of publio works, which PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ADVOCATES, to decrease unemployment, increase the coun try's buying power and put the country on its financial feet again. i In the third place, the proposal has been Oked by the gover nor of Oregon and the state committee in charge of the admin istration of the national industrial recovery act. In the fourth place, by voting these bonds, Medford will secure an outright gift of $30,000 from the government, and the government also will take over the bonds, at par, and charge a maximum of 4 percent, during a redemption period of 25 or 30 years, a proposition no city in its right mind, could afford to refuse. IN the fifth place, these bonds will cost the tax payers NOTH ING for they will be'financcd by the city water department, whereby the present water rate will be continued, but a 15-cent deduction from every $2.50 charge, will be devoted to paying bond interest and providing for retirement. Finally the one valid objection to the bond issue "has been removed, this has been based upon the fear, that the govern ment MIGHT NOT carry out its part of the contract, that Medford might vote the bonds, fail to secure promised federal support, and thus be forced to hold the sack have another bond issue added to its bonded debt to further burden the tax payers. IN view of President Roosevelt's appeal for municipalities to to bond themselves for needed publio improvements, and the state of Oregon's endorsement of the local sowage disposal plant, as a public improvement that IS needed ; such an outcome is inconceivable. But even assuming, for the sake of argument, that such an incredible outcome IS realized, then the people of Medford have' Mayor. Wilson's word that the bonds voted will NOT BE ISSUED thnt they will only be issued if the pledge of the government is enrried out. ' s -i THIS makes the sewage proposal, as far as the city of Med ford is concorned, a matter of "tails we win, heads you lose." ' . For at the worst, if the government repudiates its pledge the city will be no worse off, by voting the bonds than by not voting them. It will be just where it was before. On the other hand, if the government merely does what it has promised to do, (and it certainly will) Medford will have a enah gift of $30,000, a new sewage disposal plant with a winter payrpll, which will be greatly needed, and a healthful and sani tary condition, which will make Medford a better place in which to live, improve fishing in Rogue river, thus stimulating tourist travel and suburban settlement, and all at no added cost to the taxpayers or at least no' added cost to the water users, which is practically the same thing. IT IS, we repeat, the most one-sided proposition ever put up lo tho voters of this oily. But under the circumstances this is no excuse for those appreciating this fact, and favoring the measure, assuming that it will pass, whether they do their duty and vote, or stay at homo and "let Goorge do it." Tho measuro will be beaten unless the people who favor it, go to the polls tomorrow and vote for it. Those who don't understand the proposition, who are suspicious concerning it, and who oppose any bond issue under present conditions, re gardless of its nature will see to that. So as usual, the result is up to the people of the city as a wholo. Communications Why Don't We? We Hare! . j To the Editor: I tiave been a constant reader of your paper for many years and know you have a paper that any city much larger than Mfdford may justly feel proud. I am a lite long republican and believe that I am Just aa good a republican as you are and believe that I am Just aa ood a cltlren aa ycu are, I believe I am just as pa- trlotlo as you are, but there la one thing I did not do for party sake that I ImaRlne you did and that was vote for President Roosevelt. I did and had good and sufficient reasons for not voting for Mr. Hoover. I hold no office, never expect to hold any and am not and never expect to make 'a cent because I was classed as a wheel-horse for any political party. There Is one question I would like to ask you, It's this: Why do you continue to harp about what you think Is going to happen to President Roosevelt, when his policies fall as you say that they will.. Why don't you say what you can FOR our presi dent and try and paint a bright pic ture instead of a dismal one. Don't you realise that OS people out of every hundred are for the president? and for his policies? You evidently are hoping to see him fall for no reason only political. Cant ou rise above this low plane of thought? In conclusion, X wish to say that the people have definitely cast Mr. Hoover over. Of course, there are a few die-hards, who are trying to say what Hoover would have done under different circumstances. Don't raza the democrat, Mr. Ruhl, for their enthusiasm for the president, be cause if Mr. Roosevelt were a repub lican, the republican and Indepen dent newspapers would Issue many extras a day to toll of his wonderful acts. I would like to tell you who I am and may some time, but will say that I am a substantial patron of the Mall Tribune long may tt live. A SUBSCRIBER. Medford, July 33th. (Name on file) El Occasional references to X-ray treatment for fibroid tumor, In your1 column, make me wish to tell you of I my e x p e r lence with that treat ment, writes a correspondent. A year and a half ago. Dr. , gynecolo gist and sur geon, (on ref erence to the blue book I find the doctor himself claimed to be a gene ral practitioner only two years ago, but what of that? A doctor Is no better be cause he poses as a specialist in this or that line) found that Z had fibroid tumor. Dr. (an other general practitioner) and Dr. (still another all phy sicians of good standing and re pute) advised me to take the X ray treatment because I was past forty and mlghttexpect the meno pause - within a comparatively short time anyway, I consulted Dr. , who does X-ray work exclusively (this Is correct), and asked him questions which I believe were Intelligent. I know now that I received from him nothing but concealment of fact and actual false representa tion. He denied that the X-ray treatment causes even the slight est 111 effect. In full faith I took the treatment under his direction and have not known a day of health since. The correspondent goes on to enu merate her manifold sufferings. I am not going to mention them here. I doubt that they are attributable to X-ray treatment or to any un toward effect of the treatment. I am aware that In -Incompetent hands X-ray may do a good deal of harm. The correspondent declares she has not known a day of health since. Since when? How many days of health did she know before her con dition csme to this treatment? Many women with fibroid tumor Buffer only a few days In the month and then not greatly. Borne women with fibroid tumor never require any treatment other than occasional palliatives for pain or for bleeding. It Is reasonable to assume that this patient had reached a fairly serious state of Illness when she sought treat ment. The sufferings which she at tributes to X-ray treatment are quite Bd. note: If "aubscrlber will point out any statements in this paper that the Roosevelt policies WILL fall, any Intimation that this paper would like to SEE them fall, any change In our policy of saying, all we can say conscientiously for the president and his new deal, we will apologise and change the caption above. If not. then we must con clude the charges have absolutely no foundation. APPOI Mayor Joseph K.

X-ray treatment has been a boon to many women who would otherwise have bad to submit to surgical re moval of the fibroid tumor. This treatment la not Infallible, however. In some Instances It falls to control the symptoms that have serious sig nificance chiefly constant bleeding, and secondarily pain and the pa tient must come to operation anyway. It should be clearly understood that fibroid tumor (aa physicians can It, myoma) la a benign condition, that Is, It Is not a cancer or any thing like that, and the tumor or tumors do harm only by mechanical effects, pressure, Interference witn normal functioning or In rare cases accidental strangulation or Inflam mation.
