Because 50 per cent of the taxpayers of Jackson county can't pay their taxes and the school tax Is the greater portion of this tax, the only hope for the schools Is to get the money some where. And the only place is through this sales tax and public utility tax, which has been passed. So I tihlnk It a shame and a crime for anyone to sponsor a referendum on this bill and try to kilt this sales tax, unless they can show how this money can be raised In some other way. As clearly as I can see through a political smoke screen, I censure the action of the worthy grange master In trying to kill this school relief measure. About 75 per cent of us grangers are producers and taxpayers. If the state grange master wanted to do something for the grangers right now, and really prove himself great, he would be getting up a referendum against this hog processing tax. In stead of against a sales tax that would help relieve our tax burden, and which has forced o many of us to fall by the wayside and go on county relief to keep from starv ing. Even If a corporation lawyer did write this sales tax bill, that Is no reason why we should condemn it. Us grangers must realize that these lawyers are far more powerful In our legislature than we are, and If they offer us a good meal when we are starving, even If a part of the meal is a little rancid, we better eat It than die hoping by the time our next meal was ready these big law yers would have to wait till us gran- i gers get our tummy full. I think all grangers In this state should endorse this sales tax bill. And If there1 Is any grange who has a prophet that condemns this mess- ', ure, why groom your horses, for 1 j challenge any such grange prophet to a debate as to whether this bill ' will help the taxpaylng farmer or hurt him. , Don't oppose this bill till you know J what the bill la and what it will do. : Don't believe what others tell you. ! Don't think this sales tax Is the same 1 or In any way like the sales tax bill ! that was defeated last fall. That was a vicious bill for the taxpayers. This one Isnt. W. N.

Theater audiences never do. And seldom has a director so sue ceasfully made a picture that sneaks In under one's skin as does "This Day and Age." Cecil B. DeMllle's great picture of modern times, which comes to the Craterian theater tomor row on their new double feature at traction. "Horseplay" with Slim Summerville and Andy Devlne co- starred, forms the other half of the program. "This Day and Age Is propaganda. Almost wartime propaganda. Highly colored, booming, enthusiastic propa ganda. Yet It marches rlghtway. for it attacks crime and praises youth. The story is what Is called a "spec tacle." Which means there Is an obstacle to be solved and It Is with tremendous drama. The obstacle In this Is crime. The hero, the youth of the nation. Crime Is personified by Charles Blckford. He does every thing from kicking children on Sun day afternoon to gouging out eyes in the evening. And therefore, he does adequately and sufficiently. Chief of the heroes Is Richard Cromwell, who has been termed as "an adolescent Abraham Lincoln." But, through tt all, runs the wizard 17 that Is Cecil B. DeMllle. And it Is DeMllle who makes the pic ture the outstanding film that It Is. He has long be a known as the screen exponent of ancient spectacle. Now he has turned his talents to modern days and "This Day and Age" is the answer. On the same program Andy Devlne and Slim Summerville offer comedy relief in "Horseplay," which la Just Mats . . . 15o Eves . ... 25o Kiddies , lOo what the title Impllea, a lot of fun.

MISTLETOE TOPIC AT ROTARY MEET A timely holiday address upon the hostory of Mistletoe was given before the members of the Medford Rotary club today by Rev. William J. Howell of the First Presbjterlan church of this city. The fact that this growth has been a ceremonial plant and Is woven Into the histories of prncticnlly all of the countries of the world Is especially Interesting at this time when mistletoe hangs over the Christmas trees and mantles of nearly every American home. Reverend Howell traced the le gendary history of mistletoe from the old Nordic myth of the god Bolder's famous dream. The growth was held Shows 1:45 B: 15-9:15 H23HlEGffl Starting Tomorrow The 2nd of Our BIGGER Double Feature Attractions! kjfr' You've iff n treat epic oi S r OitVl ne Pa' generatloni ... f 1 M r Here Is (lorloui entertain- , 'fQiteQ F ( ' :i ment conceited of the ( S"JP7 Ja-Mnd daj-l of 10331 PW PLUS WM A BIG LAUGH HIT!..

PLUS Clara Bow in "Hoopla" in veneration by the drulds and even Oreek mythology has given promi nence to mistletoe, according to the speaker. In Franco mistletoe v. as later ground into a powder and claimed to have supernatural heal ing qualities. In Italy It was chewed as a cure for ulcers and even In Africa mistletoe was used extensively as a miraculous cure. As late as I860 the people of Wales used powders from mistletoe for their supposed curative powers, according to Reverend Howell. "In examining ancient legends con cerning the believed superatural orlcln and powers of mistletoe, we find the stumbling of people for God,' the speaker said. Present day usea of mistletoe at Christmas time may he traced to age old rites and cere monies In which this odd growth was employed. Members of the Rotary club con tributed quantities of old magazines for Civil Conservation corps camps In this section of Oregon. President C. J. Scmon appointed George Potrter to act as chairman of the next regular notary club meeting.
