Their a.-quittal by the military court now must be con firmed by a military auditor. This, however, geneislly 1 merely 1 formality. V if Russian Recognition A MERICAXS are omniverous readers but careless ones. Every newspaper man knows this. In'the rough and tumble of getting out a newspaper, the fact constantly obtrudes, that where one person reads the news carefully and digests it, ten skim over the headlines and jump at conclusions, often entirely unwarranted by the facts. We arc not surprised, therefore, to receive a communication, which is based upon the assumption that President Roosevelt has recognized Soviet Russia. There hag been nothing in this newspaper to justify such an assumption. President Roosevelt has not recognized Russia, he has merely agreed to a conference to officially CONSIDER recognition. There is of course little doubt that Russia WILL be recog nized. On the other hand, there is ALSO little doubt that this recognition will only come, after Russia has removed the chief objection to recognition, during the administrations of Presi dents Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover. This chief objection was clearly pointed out by Secretary of State Stimson. It had nothing to do with the form of Russia's government, that was admitted to be Russia's business alone nor was it concerned seriously with the payment of U. S. claims against Russia. It had only to do with Russia's policy of world revolution, the avowed purpose of the. Third Internationale to overthrow the capitalistic governments of the world, includ ing of course the government of the United States. This policy Stimson maintained, constituted an unfriendly act it placed Russia in the position of a hostile power friendly diplomatic relations could not be resumed between two coun tries, when one of them admitted, it inteded to overthrow the government of the other. IX the opinion of this paper such reasoning was entirely sound. Even at the sacrifice of some foreign trade, withholding recognition of a government intent upon world revolution, was, in our judgment justified. "While the exile of Trotzky, marked the playing down of the world revolution policy, and realistically speaking the Third Internationale has ceased to be the main spring of Soviet Russia's policy, as it once was; there has, as far as we know, been no official repudiation of such a policy by the present Russian government. Maxim Litvinoff will represent Russia at the coming confer- CIlce' and ho is a veIT clevcr mn, w'h l"g striu8 of diplo- niatic scalps hanging to his belt. meet his match in President Roosevelt, who is no tyro as a horse iraacr nimseir. In other words, we predict recognition unless he formally assures the president that this world revolution nonsense is definitely off. And with it definitely off, of course, the only real obstacle to U. S. recognition will bo removed. CO as is often the case, extremists on both sides of this Russian question will have to eat their words, some of them at i0n8t(bcfore they can crow. Those who favored recognition, ' regardless, and those who opposed it on the same grounds, will neither get what they were after. Russian recognition, when it conies will be a compromise as most such things arc. And Soviet Russia if it gives up the idea of world revolution, and the overthrow of all capitalistic govern ments, will make the chief one. Rewarding Delinquency T 'AX collection laws now existing are so lenient they encour age property owners to postrono payment. It costs the tax debtor only 8 per cent annually to let the taxes run, and in the present law no discount is provided for prompt payment. A new law becomes operative next year that is even more lenient. Aside from its additional encouragement to the pro perty owner to let his taxes fall in arrears, the act promises to increaso collection costs as much as 50 per cent. And inasmuch as it offers the taxpayer a choice of eighty-two different ways of paying his taxes, our own sheriff's office has so far been unable to devise a printed form of receipt that will cover all variations in plain and suitable way. TPHE law authorizes quarterly payment of taxes, and provides a system of rebates for advance quarterly payments, and imposes interest on quarterly delayed payments. The amount of interest charged against arrears applies monthly at the rate of two-thirds of one per cent a month. The rebates, however, decline quarterly a the rate of 2 per cent the quarter. This situation offers curious combinations. John Taxpayer, if he elects to pay the first and second installments on March 15 and the third and fourth on July 15 following, saves $4 on a tax bill of $400. But if he pays the first and fourth quarters on March 15 and the second and which he may do ho saves $3.33 on his bill of if 100. The tax bill is the same, the days of payment arc the same, but discounts and interest vary and if John is at the expense of government. JOllX TAXPAYER can let his whole tax bill slide for the entire first year at a cost to him of only 5 per cent. He can pay it all by March 13 in the collection year and save 3 per cent. He can wait and pay it all on June 15 and save 1 per cent. He can pay half on June 15 and half on September 15 without interest or discount; or he can pay half on March 15 and half on December 15 without loss or gain. And so on, for 82 variations. The system perhaps fits beautifully the convenience of the taxpayer but not the convenience of the revenue-lacking coun ties, cities, school districts and other subdivisions of the state. Somo of the school districts are now closing their schools because under a less liberal collecting system, the people do not pay their taxes. What hope is there for them if the new law is allowed to stand! 1MAGIXE A CREDITOR, HIMSELF UNABLE TO PAY ms hills, VULLNTEERI.no YEAR AT 5 PER CENT, WHETHER THEY ARE ABLE TO !

TIIK CURB OF RUPTURE Rupture, breach or hernia as phy sicians call it, la a protrusion or bulging of some internal structure Sthrough the walls at the cavity or pace where the structure belongs, tve need not dis- :uss t.ne causes of lernla nor the dif ferent types of lernla here. That a rather a technl ilcal aspect which :oncerns the phy ilctan, not the pa .lent. The ques tion which Inter- cslB the patient Is trie cure. Ten years ago I made short work of this question. I ajssured the hernia or rupture victim quite positively that the radical operation waa the only cure for hernia, and I urged every sufferer not over middle age to undergo the operation aa a matter of good sense, comfort, safety and economy. I believe I was right about It then. But the times change, and I no longer give such advice. If I htd a hernia myself X certainly ' iould not submit to the radical operation, at Iest not until I had iflven the ambulant treatment a fair trial. By ambulent treatment I mean a serlea of Injections of medicine which In a fair share of cases brings about a cure. Never mind the technical de tails leave that to the physician who gives the treatment. All the layman needs to know is what I am telling him here and I challenge any one to stop me If I am wrong. I believe the ambulant treatment of hernia Is much safer for the patient than the radical operation is. It does not In terfere with the patient's ordinary actvities or his Job. It frlls to cure In approximately the jsame proportion of cases as does the radical opera tion. If It falls' well, you are not out much. No reason why you can't have a second attempt at cure by the same mei.nod. Nor is there any reason why the radical operation may not be done later. If you decide to try that method. So far. I regret to report, not many physicians about the country have had the courage to learn the technic of this modern method and to adopt it In parctlre. Too . many of the plodding practitioners appear to be Intimidated by the raucua condem nation of the new method by our brass ( throated ) surgeons, the ever ready operators who Infest American medicine and who understand so well how to get the free publicity on which their shoddy rests. eminence For Instance, one of these bombas tic surgeons employed in the most egregrlous "clinic" of them all, had the oheek to expostulate with me when I began recommending the ambulant treatment of hernia to the public and the basis of the sopho moric surgeon's objection was ywholly theoretical. H ehad a smug little notion shared by many of his fel lowsthat the injection of this and that foreign substance Into the tis sues waa harmful. That may be so. but It had nothing to do with the ambulant treatment of hernia. Aa I have said many times, the trouble Communications She's Telling You! To the Editor: "In the land of fruit and blossom. In the land of milk and honey, In Vie land of wine and plenty." etc., (quoting from the poet) that's the Medford country. But the taint of commercialism Is mnnlfeat here as everywhere for. like the little boy's nickel, the buying power of the public Just " 'taint." And that leads to the subject of the president's campaign against the hoarding of gold, addressed to a peo ple whose aox have been so full of holes for two .years they wouldn't hold a 30 gold piece. The Idea is aa futile and puerile as hia campaign of crop destruction in a land of star vation and rags. What la moat seriously affecting this country la the hoarding of the commodities of life which, by hook or crook (chiefly crook), have been cornered. From the big department stores down to the dirty little second-hand dump, goods are piled sky hlg.h, and will they let go of them? An old rickety chair that didn't coat them two bits they hold for within a few cent of the price of new. For food that is spoiling in storage and shelf they Insist upon big profit. Ignoring the limited buying power! of the people who need th". food. They will not learn that you can't i get blood from a turnip. I Then t.Mere la the policy adopted by the packing houses. I am told, of bruising the cull fruit (which this year la approximately SO per cent) to that it will not keep, to avoid "polluting" trie market among the poor, which market does not exist. The ordinary waste of distribution, together ith the willful destruction of the existing commercial system will bring on a food mamlne within two years that will make the post war Russian famine look like a tea party.

Let us use Mr Ford, who likes publicity and who is one of our biggest profiteers even tho he hldea behind a mask of philan thropy. When he and the Ford work ers produce an automobile he imme diately adds to the cost of material and wages he pays his workers an ad ditional charge which Is called hi profit. This profit is not all apeni for commodities. If it were. Industry would circulate in an unbroken circle Mr. Ford and hia fellow-profitee: constitute a very small part of all the people. It la like trying to cram thr oak Into an acorn to expect them consume our surplus commodities in cluding the mountain of delicious pears across Bear Creek. The slogan for our capitalistic system should re "when bljieer stomachs are built on. rich men must have them." It is easy to aee that the worker? in the Ford institution can buy only a part of the produce due to the prof it thst stands between their wse and the commodity. Mr. Ford's ca.v la only typical of all lines of produc tion. That la what causes depressions. We must remedy the cause before we can banish the disease.
