All can recall when the Espee was hell for efficiency, and look at the Hspee to day. No longer do three rear brake men run 9078 yarda down the track every time a train stops. Efficiency generally rules that everything elee be done, before the task at hand. Inflation, aa a topic, la not being dlacuaaed very extensively, In spite of the fact that nobody knows anything about It, except that It would make the dollar twice lte current value. Some figure that money value can be pumped up like a hlnd-tlre. The farmer would like to have the buying power doubled.

Hoot Mon WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct. 8. (UP) Consider the pitiful case of W. J. Jenkins who built a fire In hla stove this morning and got hooted ror me trouble. Lifting the stove lid he discovered a small owl had crawl ed In and could net get out. The owl was alive, but singed. Why VOU can't keep a good man down. It takes more than a, de- pression to break the old time Medford sprit. Yesterday at a C. C. forum held at the high school, Medford business men decided to supply the high school football team with new suits and equipment. The necessary money approxi mately $800 will be raised at a special benefit performance. Tbig action was taken amid the greatest enthusiasm. The spirit displayed on all sides leaves no doubt of the success of the effort. THHERE are more important things than football games, more important things than football suits. But in our community activities, football has a definite place, and it is necessary that the football players be decently clothed and properly protected, both fromhe charges of the opposition and the elements. 'T'HIS demonstration however, expressed something MORE than football enthusiasm. It expressed the devotion and feeling of this community in its public schools. Yesterday's get-together gathering was an answer to the, crepe-hanging brethren who are predicting that because of tax delinquency, the public schools of this city will have to close down before the year is out. A group of business men that won't let a high school football team play in antiquated garb, certainly won't let the schools close down ENTIRELY! The Medford public schools are going to run on, and com plete the school year, and the high school football team isn't going to tour the fooiball circuit in rags and tattors. Let the Lugubrious Blues put that in their pipe and smoke it. Grants Pass has a slogan "It's the Climate." Medford is entitled to one which the Weather Man could not impair, nor hard times dislocate. "It's the citizenship I" . Will CENATOR ALLEN of Kansas returns from a tour of Soviet Russia, greatly worried about the Russian soul. He is not what could be called a religious man. But he often reads the Bible, and frequently goes to church. He finds Russia a "Godless country." The churches have been turned into museums, or w6rse religion is scorned as the opium of the people, to kneel before an ikon, is more than a confession of weakness, it's a publio disgrace. Senator Allen asked a young Russian girl, who was efficient ly guiding him about Moscow where she expected to go after she died. She took another puff from her cigaret and glibly answered, "into fertilizer." Greatly grieved and shocked was the good man from Kansas. He can see no future for a country that has no spiritual sense, no God, no belief in anything higher than the dirt beneath its feet, and what that dirt, properly fertilized and cared for, pro duces. "It's materialism gone mad !" he thinks. A ND, of course, the senator materialism gone mad." It hns destroyed everything' known as civilization, to produce what it regards as a better 1 system of producing the material ing and shelter. That's all. It is spiritual factors enter. Materialism is its religion, Lenine its God. DUT if one will read over the history of revolutions it will be found that this situation is not unique with Russia. Practi cally all revolutions have in the first phase, been similarly ob ssessed. And in all this phase has nassed. IT WILL PASS IN RUSSIA. If communism fails OP COURSE it will pass. If it DOESN'T fail if it succeeds in establishing a bettor material order of things then it will pass as soon as the goal is won. For the spiritual sense is deeper than anything but the in stinct for self preservation. Let material life once be secure, ! and any people, white or black, Oriental or Occidental, primitive ' ...ll! A.J Ml .V ... ., . - . . ! ur uuiuvaieu, win eiiner return to tne elements of its old religi ous faith, or establish a new one. Every humnn being in the travel through life, must sooner or later find something higher than the dirt beneath liis feet, something finer and less tangible, than the things he eats and weara. Russia may never return to the ikon or the swinging censor, but sooner or later it will certainly return to a faith of which these things were symbols. Senator Allen merely has to be patient and await the inevit able revolutionary evolution, it is as certain as "death and taxes." Communications How Shelter Sales Tax Would Work. To the Editor: . 1 have been asked to show how th, money rslsed by a 9 per cent sslss tax for shelter tax exemption, as originally proposed by th, Medford Real Estate Board, would be distrib uted. The amount raised In the sUte would be aomethlnf over 94,000.000. The amount of homeetesd ahelter exemption In the atate would be about I1A0.0OO.0O0. This would per mit of a 40-mtll base to flsure re turns to counties on. The ahelter tax exemptions In our county would amount to about &, 000.000, so thsre would be returned to Jackson county out of the IS.0OO, 000 raised, 1300.000. as all the money raised according to our original plan would be returned to the several countlea of the stats. The 40 mills to be distributed would be allotted to the several funda of the county In the following manner: , Twenty mills, or one-half would go to the school districts, each district receiving a return on the same mill age base. 10 Mills to school districts 1100.000 3.7 Mills to county school funds snd school libraries.. I T Mills to elementary school fund 91 Mills to general county fund .................. 9 S Mills to state tex fund ....

Russia at present is things of life food and cloth- interested in nothing else. No relief or sinking fund for county Indebtedness 4T.OO0 S300.000 The primary purpose of the meas ure was tor ahelter tax exemption. Three-fourths, or 30 mills, would ap pear as credits on home owners' tax receipts. Kach horns owner In the county would get a credit of spproxi mately gts each year on his tax re ceipt, regardless of the total amount of the taxes assessed against him. unless, of course, the valuation of his homeetesd was less than S1S00. in which case he would get a total exemption of the amount due for state, county and school tsxes. This would bring relief to the home owner, mske It possible for him to catch up on back taxes and correct an economic error In undertaking to arise taxes on a class of property the ownership of which does not Indicate ability to pay taxes. Especially would such a measure, at this time, bene fit our school districts and provide a fund for unemployment relief. J. C. BARNES. Medrord, October a. 4 Silo Moved Bodily DAYTON, Ore..

It waa In the days of Cleveland and 1 wsairinl.t. thr. more complicated by nation-wide hook-up than it was when the orators addressed throngs of from 160 to COO men, many with tor ches. But the rbeu matlz la different. Doesn't matter where you live, what your Interest nor whether the climate or weather la good, bad or In different, I am happy to announce that there la no more rheumatlz In North America. I do not asume the sole credit for this, although It la a matter of record that I have been fighting for years to rid the country of this Incubus. Other members of the party have freely contributed their assistance, and even some of the patriotic and enlightened leaders of the standpat ters have helped us in the great work. In the hour of our triumph we can offer our sympathy to the old fogies who are left crippled In diagnostic re source. It must be hard for them to string their credulous patients along now that the rheumatlz la no more. Without equivocating we may say that the only occasion for suggesting that a patient haa some form of "rheumatism" Is when the doctor doesn t know just what alia the pa tient. That's the simple truth, and you can't find any physician of stand, ing who will venture to deny it. Not that the doctor knows any more about the nature, cause or cure of your trouble when he calls it "ar thritis" instead of "rheumatism." tho the term arthritis means something definite Joint inflammation. The term rheumatism means nothing at nil today; long ago It meant catarrh, a flow. The ancients probably laid It to the weather. Only veritable quacks, within or without regular medical ranks, have the temerity to ascribe acute arthri tis In children or adults to dampness or cold nowadays. And even they prefer to do It Indirectly or anony mously or without as u ml ng any per sonal responsibility for the notion themselves. There Is no dissenting medical opin ion at present in respect to the in fectious character of acute arthritis. That Is now a well understood patho logical condition. NLW YORK DAY BY DAY 3y O. O.

When it comes to the consideration of chronic arthritis, frankly we are till at sea as to the cause and na ture of some cases tho there la no longer any question that In most cases the pathological process la focaj Infection. The kind of chronic arthritis that we do not yet understand clearly la called metabolic arthritis, atrophic ar thritis, rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis deformans, etc. Fortupately leas than one-tenth of all cases of Joint disease are of this class. The two facta I hope to Impress upon the reader's mind are, first, there is no disease entity or condi tion definable or recognizable as "rheumatism," and second there is no scientific evidence that exposure to cold o dampness has anything to do with any known Joint disease.

Then, after replying that It Is the state's right to supervise the molding of public opinion, Goebbels added: "The German press hereafter must be single-minded in will and many minded in expressing this will." Goebbels said he considered It "grotesque" that states prevent quacks from maltreating their pati ents, yet permit journalistic quacks to tackle the diseased body pollMc. He expressed the opinion that with in five to seven years all the coun tries of the world will copy the Ger man press law which he said did not mean fettering the newspaper man's calling but which substitutes the state for the publisher. Any Infringement may remove the offender from further opportunity to pursue his profession. A system of registered lists waa Introduced, af fording the propaganda ministry a means or keeping a vigilant eye on writers. Only those will be allowed "to In fluence public opinion" through the press who are: German citizens; of Aryan descent; those who have not married non-Aryans; and those who have not lost their public privileges. The newspaper men must pledge themselves not to write anything that at home or abroad might "weaken German military idealism, kultur, or 'trade, or offend religious feelings."
