Granger Favors Sales Tax
To the Editor:
A very extreme emergency threat
ens to close our schools. 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. CARL,
"Farmer Bill from Applegate," Pas!
Master of the Murphy Grange.

Method and time change. 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

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

in veneration by the drulds and even

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

find the stumbling of people for God,'
the speaker said. Present day usea
