e Wants No Sales Tax!
Ql
U1CK Diogenes the lantern
honest man ! ,
His name is A. H. Johnsen at least that is the name signed
to a communication received this morning, and printed today in
another column, which has every appearance of being genuine.
The writer is opposed to the sales tax and minces no words in
giving his reasons.
Wo hope everyone interested in the sales tax problem will
read it. For to our mind it gives the only legitimate argument
against the sales tax thus far advanced.
THE writer is a salaried man, living in an apartment, obvi
minlv nwm Tin nrnnorfv and an nn nhildrAn In aanrl trt
school. Ho also owns a new car, Is an ardent movie fan ; enjoys
week-end motor trips, and figures a sales tax would cost him
$5 a month.
He says his salary has been cut, but still keeps him "in
beans." It must. For if he expects to pay $5 per month sales
tax, he must expect to spend $4000 a year!
To him, therefore, the sales tax is just "an added tax." Ho
has no property tax to reduce, therefore no school tax to pay.
Having no children he doesn't care whether the publio schools
keep open or not. Why should he vote for the sales taxf
WE admit that from a purely selfish standpoint, he
SHOULDN'T.
Of course one might say that, as a member of the community,
it is to his interest to reduce the tax on property, for even for
him a bankrupt community would not be a desirable place in
which to live. One might, also, say that even if he has no chil
dren, it is desirable that he should do his bit, to provide a free
education for those who have.
But that would demand from him, a disinterested spirit of
patriotism, which we regret to state, does not generally prevail.
After many years observation of practical politics, we have
decided that the people as a whole vote in their own self inter
est, or what they BEGARD as their self interest. And to cry
out for something less selfish and more publio spirited, in to
waste your time, crying for the moon.
It can't be done. At least it never has been done. And we
fear in the prcserft generation, it never will be.
'
CU we don t expect Mr. Johnsen to change his mind, and on
tho p'h of what is not best for him, but for the comn.u-
nity and the state to vote for the sales tax. We don't expect
any other individual, similarly situated to vote for it. We only
expect those to vote for it, who are convinced that it will be
t" their self interest to have such a tax.
We welcome Mr. Johnsen's communication enthusiastically
because, to our mind, it shows more clearly than anything else

dent has. There are more of them than most people suppose.

THE DWINDLE BUSINESS
In many cases obesity (overweight)

Most obese In

ference between

much blood" and
high blood pre.
sure, a difference
which wiseacres
and their quacks
fall to consider,
much to the sorrow of the former
and the profit of the latter.
Probably there Is more or less OVD
(heart and artery degeneration) In
au cases of obesity. Just toting the
superfluous weight about Is an extra
strain on the heart and arteries. In
long stadnlng cases there U likely to
be some fatty Infiltration or fatty
degeneration of the heart, which Is
only a more advanced stage of myo
carditis or slow heart muscle failure.
The puffing and blowing of the
obese Individual Is only natural. A
healthy, normal Individual would
puff and blow If he or she had to
carry a 40-pound handicap all the
time. But the big one's shortness
of breath on mild exertion Is an part
due to fatty Infiltration of the heart.
Fattv Infiltration does not mean
merely a lot of fat around the bear:
That would not seriously Impair the
efficiency of the heart: It would only
Interfere with the cooling process.
Patty Infiltration means the deposit
of fat-droplets from the circulation
(from food) In tissues which normally
contain none, or an excess of such
fat droplets In tissues which normally
contain a little fat. Fatty Infiltra
tion might be called the way of all
fleshiness. There are other condi
tions that may account for over
weight, but when you think of obes
ity think of fstty infiltration. The
favorite seats of fatty Infiltration are
the subcutaneous tissues, the mesen
teries and omentum (the great ab
dominal apron), along the fasciae or
tissue partitions between muscles,
around the kidneys, and In the liver
and the heart.
By examining a bit of any such
tissue under the microscope we can
see the fat droplets between the cells
and In the cells. In the cells the fat
droplet push the cell nucleus and
protoplasm to on side. Annoying,

Op pones Sales Tax.
To the Editor:
You say vote for sales tax. Yeah?
Why? 1 live ln an apartment, have
a new car and am married. My salary
Isn't as big as It once was, but It
keeps me In beans O. K. My wife and
I have no children and so get soaked
on income tax. Take In the movies
at least twice a week and take motor
trips, usually on week-ends when
weather la good. A sales tax would
probably cost me W a month. My
car only costs me S a year. Rent
never so low as now. They say I
pay taxes, but don't know It. O. K.
with me. Let me pay taxes by this
kind of rent and forget this sales
tax stuff? Put me down on the
opposite side to "Parmer." I vote No.

Op(Mw Klk Open Season.
To the Editor:
I see by the Portland Journal that
a certain organisation has sent In a
request to the gams commission to
make the open set son on elk about
the aist of November, to last until
the 34th. Well, now, I can't see why
It Is that anyone would want to kill
sn elk after the mating season unlea
It Is someone who does not care for
the meat, and only wants the teeth
and hide. Anyone who has ever hftd
any experience In handling meat
knows that when an animal Is on
the up-grade is when the meat is
the best and when It la run down ft
la not fit to eat. Who la It that
would want to eat a buck deer after
the mating season? If anyone thinks
that It would be all right, let thera
try It once and they would surely
be convinced, and If they had never
eaten any venison before, they would
never want to eat It again. Now I
will say that I followed hunting
for msny years and have kilted elk,
best, cougar, etc., galore and In my
humble opinion. X think the season
should be open about the Istter part
August or the 1st of September.

that Is the nucleus doesn't like be
ing pushed around that way. But
the faithful little cells continue for
time to function as well as they can,
until the fat chokes them Into sub
mission. Then they hibernate, as does
the host.
We cannot say precisely where the
normal physiological utilisation or as
similation of fat ends and abnormal
or pathological fatty Infiltration be
gins. But we can glv some practical
hint to those who wish to stay on
the right side of the line. That In
good time. Right here, suffice to ssy
that anything which restricts com
bustion favors fatty infiltration.
Let's not dwell on fatty degenera-
tlon. Frankly, we are not too sure
about It. The term Implies that the
cell protoplasm undergoes conversion
Into fat. This slow death occura. In
cases of poisoning by mercury, phos
phorus, lead, arsenic, from toxins of
bacteria, from advanced anemia or the
cachexia of cancer and the like. The
only reason I drag the thought In
here at all Is because some pathol
ogists believe fatty degeneration may
be the last stage of fatty Infiltration
In some Instances. So there.

You should consult a physician, aay
nothing about "neuritis" whloh is a

what alls you and what should be

Mr. Irving Vlnlng Is a member of

knows that I know whereof I speak
and what I am talking about; and
another thing, I want to say this. No
one should be allowed to take advan
tage of the open season unless they
are prepared to take care of the meat.
An elk Is a large animal and It Is a
big Job to save the meat unless they
are on to their Job, and If Dick, Tom
and Harry are allowed to go out and
kill elk, there Is going to be a lot of
spoiled meat lying around, If you
hear my gentle voice. Now aa far as
I am concerned, I would not give
fifteen cents to shoot one of those
elk unless I could take care of the
meat, for It Is nothing more than
going out and killing a beef on the
range. But when I hunted, it was no
picnic to go out and find an elk.
and when you got In when they were
ranging, sometimes you had a Job on

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
pHIS headllna hit us in tha aye
1 "U. 8. TO BORROW TEN BIL
LIONS."
You r to ftociutomed, In all prob
ability, to reading of blllloru, In con
nvctlon with government finance that
you may have failed to grasp the dag
gering significance of auch a lum.
VJOW much la ten billion dollars?
1 1 Well, let's see If we can get some
Idea. In terms that will mean some-
thing to us personally, of the size ot
such a sum of money.
A A
LST us suppose that you need right
now a thousand dollars. If you
have tried to raise a thousand dol
lars recently,-you know that such
sum Is regarded by those who have
It In these days as rather large. Bo
let's start with a thousand dollars.
A million, remember, la a thousand
thousands. So even a million dollars
would be a thousand times this thou
sand dollars we are using aa an Illus
tration.
A billion is a thousand million. So
even ONE billion Is a MILLION times
a thousand.
And the government of the United
States la planning to borrow TEN bil
lions by July 1.
4
rVTOW let's look at It from another
11 angle.
For the purposes of rough and
ready calculation, we may aay that
there are 100 million people In the
United States. The number la some
what larger, but for what we have
here In mind we can disregard the
excess.
Borrowing one billion dollars would
amount to borrowing ten dollars for
each person in the United States,
Borrowing ten billion dollars, you see,
amounts to borrowing 100 dollars for
each person In the country, old and
young alike.
So, If you are the head of a fam
ily of four. It amounts to borrowing
400 in your name.
What Is mors, It will amount to
TAXING you $400 to repay what
borrowed.
((DDT," you will doubtless aay,
LM lot of people pay no taxes at
all. What will all this mesn to
them?"
Dont let ANYBODY kid himself
that he pays no taxes. EVERYBODY
pays taxes. If he doesn't pay In one
way, he paya In another.
Taxes are a 'part of the cost
doing business, and have to be added
to the price of what Is sold. Every
body who buys anything pays taxes.
3 IT right or Is It wrong for the
government of the United States
to borrow ten billion dollars between
now and July if
That Is a hard question to answer.
If the recovery program, for which
the money is to be used, works, and
restores prosperity, the investment
will have been a good one. If It
DOESN'T work, the Investment will
be bad.
That Is the long 'and the short
of It.
EArTWHILE, here Is a suggestion
if With the government of the
United States, which means all of us,
borrowing aa heavily as It la, It Is a
mighty good Idea for the LOCAL gov
ernments, such as the city ot Med
ford and the county of Jackson, to
make no new debts they can possibly
avoid and pay tip their old ones as
fast as-they can.

respects that it Is difficult to Judge
which is the more Intriguing, accord
ng to word received from U. S. Arm
strong, and H. F. Lange, who are
viewing the new cars ln San Francisco
this week. This entirely new type
of automobile Is offered in three
series, the Airflow Eight, the Impe
rial and the Custom Imperial. A!!
are alike ln structure and style, but
differ ln size and capacity.
The changed appearance of this
type of car is Its obvious and almost
startling characteristic; It approaches
more nearly the Ideal aerodynamic
form than any production car yet of
fered. It Is not to be Judged from
this aspect alone, however, because
that Is almost Incidental to redistri
bution of weight, which produces a
perfectly amazing Improvement In
riding qualities. A third character
istic Is the surprising roomneas of
the bodies. All three of these points
result from the arrival at a new stage
ln the evolution of the frame, which
involves a fundamental change ln Its
concept. This purely engineering
change is the most radical Innovation
of all.
The Chrysler offering Includes four
distinct lines of cars. The Airflow
eight Is of 123-inch wheelbase and
has a 122-horsepower engine of 34
by 4!J.-lnch dimensions and 298.6
cubic Inches piston displacement. An
aluminum head and dual corbure
tlon are used. This compares with
the 1933 eight of 120-Inch wheelbase,
90 horsepower, 34 by 4',4-lnch bore
and stroke and 273.8 cubic Inch dis
placement. The new Chrysler Imperial eight is
of 128-Inch wheelbase, compared with
126; 130 horsepower, 34 by 4 and
323.5 cubic inches, compared with
126 horsepower. 34 by 4, and 208.6
cubic Inches. The new Custom Im
perial eight Is of f50 horsepower and
has a wheelbase of 146 inches, as
heretofore. As a fourth line the
Chrysler six of 1933 Is to be continued
with sundry Improvements, notably
the Introduction of Independently
sprung front wheels. Its output, how
ever, haa been stepped up from 83
to 93 horsepower, while the wheelbase
has been increased one inch to 118.
