A Correction THE young man with a wife and two little children, in dire need, we commented upon in Friday's issue, have not been rescued, by the father securing a permanent job, as we were informed. He secured a job but it was only for one day. So the need for relief is still acute. ing young man, whether steady or not, will help a good cause by conferring as soon as possible with Otto De Jarnett, at the Medford post office. Write In, IN a communication printed his sales tax with shelter eral favor in this community pass at the last session of the tax being preferred. As everyone knows this straight sales tax was overwhelming ly defeated by the people at the generally believed that such a state at the present time. Mr. Barnes, however, is convinced his form of sales tax CAN be passed, and his measure rewritten and revised, will be pre- sented at the special session of 20th of this month. In his communication the visions of the revised bill, and the matter of taxes, will read We would also like to get as possible regarding this new whether or not they approve of If this new measure should proval, as it did a year ago, we feel sure the special session of the legislature would carefully consider it. There may be no chance of securing a straight sales tax, at this time, but there should be a good chance of securing such a tax, with a $1500 shelter value exemption. We would particularly appreciate comments from those of our subscribers who at the last election, opposed the straight sales tax. The Darned SPEAKING of the sales tax, the United Press has recently given us a very interesting report on the California sales tax. California passed this tax, the same time a similar tax, was defeated by Oregon. t The proof of the pudding is in the eating. How has this sales tax worked out in our neighboring state f Aoeording to the United Press representative it' has worked out exceedingly well. In fact to date it is a great success. The first wave of popular resentment when the tax first started to function, has entirely disappeared; and now, if put to a vote i the people of that state would sustain the tax by a large ma jority. ' ' This is interesting for it confirms the experience of practi cally every stale where the sales tax has been tried. The tax is not popular, in theory, always meets with determined opposition at the outset, particularly in the ranks of organized labor and agrioulture, but the "DARNED THING WORKS!" Receipts from the California tax are exceeding expectations. At the present rate the sales tax will put $90,000,000 in the state treasury, during the two year period. OOPULAR opposition to the tax has therefore declined to the vanishing point because the tax payers find their tax bills have already been materially reduced, and will bo reduced more. The U. P. cites innumerable instances of tax reductions, most of them concerning the average small home owner who has found so much difficulty in meeting his tax payments. x As a result the entire tax crisis in California is clearing up, the schools are operating on full schedules, and while even with this $90,000,000 the state budget may not be balanced, with proposed changes in the tax, it "THE special session of the Oregon state legislature might well study the result of the sales while it is considering the Barnes sales tax proposal. We can advance the stereotyped objections to the sales tax until we are blue in the face, but if the tax WORKS in such an emergenoy as now exists, what valid objection is there to giving the tax a trial t Hard Times, Then and Now IJERE'S an interesting query. A retired farmer from the Middlewest asks why, if low commodity rrices bring hard times, and high commodity prices good times, were there no hard times when farmers were getting 5 cents a quart for milk, ten cents a dozen for eggs, and 40 cents a bushel for wheat. That such market prices existed half a century ago, no one denies.

TRUK enough although unfortun ate. If lepal liquor, because of exces sive taxation, sells at a price far above that offered by the bootlegger, the bootlegger will get the busi ness.

Indeed "Four Bits Is enough" too much. Iron and ammonium citrate costs the druggist a few cents an ounce. Water doesn't cost much. It dissolves Instantly. I buy four ounces of Iron and ammonium citrate for less than "four bits," and dissolve It In a pint of water that Is the formula you advise. P. V. O. Answer Thank you. But you know people are fond of that dumb hyp notic feeling they get from the mys tery of such things. Especially peo ple who are sound from the ays- brows down. The dose of the medi cine, prepared as you describe. Is l tcaspoonful after each meal, beat taken In a little water flavored If you please with fruit Juice. It should be continued for two or three months, for simple anemia. No matter If It blackens everything. Iron naturally does that. Bathing Eyes. Please suggest a solution for bath ing weak eyes. T. P. J. Answer Please Inform me In your own words what you mean by weak eyes. I know of nothing of the sort which will strengthen eyesight. Agree ably warm salt solution Is the best wash for the eyes, when it la ad vlsable to wash the eyes. Dissolve teaspoonful of ordinary table sslt In the pint of boiled water. It Is not advisable to wash the eyes, aside from ordinary external washing of the face, aa a rule. Ambulant Treatment of Rupture, Please tell me what you think of treating rupture with serum Injec tions. My husband had an opera tion for double rupture. 18 months ago. Now It has broken out again . R. R. M. Answer A few progressive physic ians are auccessfully treating rupture (hernia, breach) with Injections of medicine, not serum. I should want to have thla treatment before I should care to undergo the radical operation. If I had rupture. It la as likely to prove successful, or to fall as In the operation. Maybe lou Need to Train.- I am 18, weigh 122 pounds. 81 inches tall. I look too fat. Please give me a well-balanced diet . . . O. N. Answer No. daughter, you are not too heavy, but perhaps you have ne glected physical training. Send i dime (not atamps) and a stamped envelope bearing your address, for the booklet "The Last Brady Sym- pnony." Follow the exercises regu larly and soon you will be rid of that (at feeling, and you will look more slender, too. (Copyright, 1933, John F. Dllle Co.)

THOMPSON 0pp. 1st Natl Bank "The Here la the plain answer: Be cause people have been hiding their money away, instead of putting it to work. Credit Is ALWAYS lacking when people do that. IN one city of Oregon, in one day, two people take $8800 out of hid ing and put it back to work. Re member that In ordinary practice ten dollars of bank credit la built upon each dollar of deposits. The return of confidence on ttie part of these two people added 88. 000 to the band credit available In that one city. Just aa soon as we have GEN ERAL return of confidence, so that people want to put their money to work Instead of hiding It away, we shall see prosperity returning. Communications Barnes Offers Sales Tax To the editor: We have rewritten our sales tax bill with tax credit offset to .home owners simplifying and leaving out all compromises. The new 'bill la divided Into three parta: First, the two per cent sales tax provision tot levying and collecting the tax being the same as was pro vided for In H. B. 554 passed at the last cession of the legislature and defeated In the referendum. Second, a provision is made for the prorating of ALL the net rev enue from this act to the various counties of the state, prorated to the several counties according to the amount of shelter value In each county. This second part of the bill also provides for the distribu tion of the funds after they are received by the county treasurer. Fifty per cent of the money so re ceived is to be prorated to the var ious school districts of the county. Fifteen per cent to go into a fund to take care of unemployment. Ten per cent to go to county old age pension fund and the balance, twenty-five per cent, to be prorated to the other funds of the county. The third part of the bill provides for a tax credit to be given to each home owner. The sheriff of the county Is required to add three col umns to the present tax4 receipt, in tne iirst column is to be written the amount of the shelter value of the homestead not to exceed $1500. In the second column la to be writ ten the amount of the mlllage lev ies in the county for school, county. and state expenses, not to exceed a total of thirty-five mills. In the third column Is to be written the amount of the credit found by mul tiplying the shelter value In the first column by the mlllage levy in the second column. Jackson county would receive un der this act between $225,000.00 and 250.000.00 cash, Jackson county schools would get one-half, or ei 12,- 500.00 or more. This Is one-third of all expenses for school purposes in tne county. Each home owner would get a tax credit of around 845 on his tax re ceipt. A .home would become a sanc tuary in the true sense of the word. Home ownership, home Improvement, and home, development would be encouraged. There would be more work for the unemployed. As well, there would be a county fund to help take care of the unemployed. win tne voters of our county support such a sales tax measure? In short will you vote for a two per cent sales tax if you get an offset In the way of a 45 credit on your taxes and at the same time provide 225.000 cash money to pay school expenses and ot,her county expenses? That Is the question your legislators win oe asking at the special session when this bill Is Introduced. J. C. BARNES. ! Medford, November 4. !
