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.

by conferring as soon as possible with Otto De Jarnett, at the
Medford post office.

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

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.

By FRANK J K SKIN 5
IN the current news of the day,
this paragraph appears:
"T.he Investment Bankers associa
tion was told today by its tax com
mittee that excessive taxes on beer
and liquor may strengthen bootleg
glng and racketeering."
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.
That Is a plain, oold fact that
will have to be taken into consid
eration In fixing the rate at which

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Iron Is Cheap.
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.

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

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.
