TAX IS ASSESSED
TO KILLER ONLY
"me? appears to be a general nvs
understanding among farmers as to
vho is to pay the processing tax on
hogs," stated County Agent Fowler
today.
"The Agricultural Adjustment Act,
under which the marketing of hogs
la to be curtailed, has for Its prin
cipal object the Increasing of the
buying power of the farmer. Tlie
processing tax on pork 1 similar to
the processing tax on wheat and must
be paid by the consumer eventually."
The processing tax is to be paid
by the man who kills the pig. The
government holds the killer respon
sible, and no one else. Everyone who
kills a pig must pay the tax. except
the farmer who kills for his own home
consumption. The farmer who kills
a pig with the expectation of selling
the carcass, either whole or as hams,
bacon, sausage, etc., will be required
to pay the tax.
Butchers who do custom killing
that Is, who kill pigs for others at
so much a head, will be required by
the government .to pay the tax. If,
however, a farmer brlnga to a butcher
a pig of his own raising, hires the
butcher to kill It, and then takes
the carcass home for use in his own
family, he may give the butcher a cer
tificate to the effect that this hog
la to be used entirely for consump
tion within bis own family, and this
certificate in turn will relieve the
butcher from the necessity of paying
the tax. Blanks for these certificates
may be obtained from the collector of
internal revenue. All butchers doing
custom work should write for sup
ply.
Prices quoted on hogs at the Port
land stockyards or at any other pub
lic market in the United States are
the prices which are actually paid to
the shippers and the tax la NOT de
ducted from these prices. Farmers
who sell pigs to buyers at the market
price and then permit the buyer to
deduct the tax are simply allowing
themselves to be cheated by that
much. Also, the farmer who eeJls
dressed carcasses to retailers or whole
salers and allows the buyer to dedue!
the tax with the understanding thai
the buyer is to eventually pay the
tax to the government is again being
cheated because the farmer who kill
ed the hog will have to pay the tax
direct to the government.
The department of Internal reve
nue collects the tax and will furnish
the blanks to anyone who Is killing
hogs.
C. O. Hoover, chairman of Pomona
Orange agriculture committee, urges
that before selling dressed hogs the
farmers get in touch with the county
agent.

Why We Think the Fox Theatre Chain
and Holly .Theatre Are A Menace to
Medford and Vicinity and to Us the
Independent Theatre Owners ....
WE think the past operation of the Fox Theatre Chain
in Medford is enough to put the stamp of disapprov
al forever upon them, for their whole purpose and aim
seems, to us, to be along one line of thought, and that
is to control all the theatres here,
THEY purchased, last year, all the Major film product,
forcing the closing of the Holly. George Roy, who
was operating the State Theatre, was forced to quit, and
the Rosy was forced to show pictures at ten cents and
was barely able to remain open. They were unable to
pay any decent salaries and were in a most precarious
condition.
THIS was all done by Fox with staggering losses to
themselves ; so we believe that if ever there was such
a thing as unfair competition, this is it.
WE believe that every admission paid into the Holly
Theatre is a direct thrust at our very vitals, and
appeal to you the citizens of our own city to spend
your money with the independent, homeowned theatres.
DOTH Mr. Newman and Mr. Rosenberg called upon
George Hunt, agreeing to maintain the same policy
and prices as Hunt's Craterian when they opened the
Holly Theatre. This agreement they have already broken
by double billing and really, you can expect anything..
You have heard of "bread wars" when bread was sold as
low as one cent per loaf and, frankly, it is possible that
theatre admissions might go that low in Medford,
THEY may show pictures that you wish to see, but in
this case, we ask you to wait for their showing in our
second-run theatres, which will show them shortly after-
ward.
Yours for a Greater and Better Medford,
We, the owners are
