Make Them Pay!
'T'llE owner of property, farm, city or town, who refuses to
support the sales tax, simply refuses to act in his own self
interest.
The sales tax will benefit all tax payers, btcause it will give
the county and state an income from a new source hitherto
untapped, and this income estimated at $1,000,000 a year,
must be devoted to paying school taxes and thus reducing the
present property tax. The law will allow it to be used in no
other way. ' . '
BUT there is another reason for supporting the sales tax,
pvpn fnr thnso whn nnv no nrnnprtv tar hut irho na nprmn.
ncnt residents, will share in the benefits derived from having a
local government that can maintain its credit anJ pay its own
bills. .
For the sales tax will bring in a large revenue from the
"big spenders"; from the visiting tourists; from those who arc
so well off they can spend their winters in California, and only
their summers in Southern Oregon.
"PHIS group is far" larger than most people suppose. They
use our good highways, enjoy our unequalled water, cath
our fish and shoot our deer, but pay their taxes or most of
them ELSEWHERE.
With sales taxes, in both our neighboring states, a sales tax
in Oregon would be no deterrent to what might be called this
"recreational group" they would gain nothing by staying
away, and coming here, they would help support the local tax
burden, which is only right and fair. ' '
..... ,
ONLY by a sales tax can this revenue be secured. And a
sales tax can't be evaded, as other taxes, particularly in
come taxes so often are. It is an inescapable and an automatic
tax, paid on the dot from day to day which in these days of
tight money, is. almost enough in itself to commend this form
of taxation.
Added to these considerations the undeniable fact, that only
by the passage of the sales tax, can our public schools, particu
larly in the rural sections, be kept open ; and the reasons for
passing such a tax at this time appear to this paper, virtually
OVERWHELMING.
IF the people of Oregon will merely study the tax for THEM-
SELVES, thoroughly understand it, refuse to be hood
winked by rabble rousing clamor and the specious propaganda
against it, and vote as THEIR SELF INTEREST DICTATES,
we are confident the effort to defeat the tax will fail.
The Journal Is A Iso Fooled
IN another column today we are reprinting from the esteemed
Portland Journal, its editorial comment upon the recent
Oregon articlo in the National Geographic.
Quite apparently the writer did not read the article in' tha
magazine but the advanco summary sent to the press, which we
took occasion to criticize. .
That this criticism was entirely justified is demonstrated by
the fact that the Journal did precisely what this paper ifid
assumed that all the salient features of the article were con
tained in this release for the press. Undoubtedly the newspapers
of the country as a whole will do the same thing.
For in this editorial, as in this summary, one can find no
mention of Medford, Ashland, Jacksonville, the Oregon Caves,
the pear orchards of the Rogue River valley, or any feature of
Southern Oregon except Crater Lake. .
The Journal calls it "the story of Oregon" and yet Southern
Oregon isn't even mentioned.
The article itself, however, docs mention Southern Oregon
and gives this part of the state, decent if not ample recognition.
Magazine summaries are sent out to the press for publication,
and are supposed to give a fair and comprehensive picture of
the articles in question.
The writer of this National Georgraphic summary failed to
do this. Nothing could show the unfortunate result of his error,
more clearly, than the fact that the Oregon Journal always a
great booster for tho beauties and attractions of this great pear
district should editorialize favorably pn the "story of Oregon",
make no mention whatever of this fart of the state, and never

No honest doctor could do more
than hazard a guess as to what alls

Guessing Is quite
all right for a
doctor, provided
he does not tell
the patient what
he guesses In

have had a
unique oppbrtunlty to watch good
doctors at work and to have a quiet
word with their patients unbeknownst
to the doctors, and I gather that
a first class doctor usually makes
a good guess or two to himself as
to what he is going to find In his
examination of the patient. At least
he runs through his mind the con
ditions that would be likely to pro
duce such symptoms as the patient
complains of. Indeed, I have a feel
ing that the doctor, who makes an
examination without soma such clue
or conjecture In mind Is not likely
to mske a satisfactory examination.
For a week or two I have been
tabulating letters from readers, and
It Is remarkable home many women
of 35 to 60 complain chiefly of be
ing weak, pate and worrisome in tem

across a number of letters from wo

or anything like that I have no Idea
what he is talking about. No such
condition as "nervous exhaustion" or
"nervous breakdown" is recognized In
scientific medicine. When doctors use
such terms they are either trying
to protect the patient from prying
curiosity or else they are stringing
the patient along without letting the
poor galoot know they don't know
what alia him.
But from the letters I receive from
people who practice nervous Imposi

tentatively that ' they suffer from
"nervousness") I am constrained to

' Work In shop where cast Iron dust
gets Into my nose and throat. Is this
dangerous to health? (Mary C.)
Answer Ves. it causes chronic
bronchitis and sometimes leads to
phthisis or a kind of consumption.
Such dust should be removed by ex
haust vents or prevented, from fly

Lore
' Please tell me what the following
are used for: mercurochrome. carbolic
acid, cyanide of potassium, boric acid,
borax. (8. D.)
Answer Mercurochrome Is an anti
septic for wounds, but I think tinc
ture of iodln Is preferable. Carbolic
acid (phenol) is also en antiseptic,
though seldom used now, -because it
Is too poisonous. Cyanide of potas
sium Is not used In medicine It Is
a deadly poison, commonly used by
Jewelers for cleaning Jewelry. Boric
acid and borax are both good anti
peptlcs. and comparatively non-irritating
and non-poisonous. In my
opinion there is nothing better than
a solution of a tablespoonful of boric
acid In a pint of boiled water for
use as gargle, spray: eye wash, douche

THE Knox liquor control law la up
held by the lower court. It wltl
now go 'to the supreme court.
It will then go before the court
of public opinion lor its FINAL
TRIAL.
Its ultimate fite wltl depend upon
toe decision of the court of public
opinion.
HPHE Knox liquor control bill put
the state of Oregon Into the
hard liquor business.
The reason the state of Oregon Is
going Into the hard liquor business
la that it needs the money. In order
to make aa much money as It needs
to make, it will have to sell aa much
liquor aa it can.
That will be qulte a change from
the days, which were recent days,
when the state of Oregon waa doing
all it could to STAMP OUT the hard
liquor business.

A PORTLAND dispatch, which con
veys lm porta ntnews, says:
"The authority of the NRA code
to impose production and working
hour allotments was UPHELD by Fed
eral Judge John H. McNary here to
day." What does that mean?
It - means that under NRA the
lumber Industry aa a whole has the
right to Impose upon individuals en
gaged in the' Industry production
quotas which will Insure keeping
supply within the limits of demand.
That U to say, under NRA, the In
dustry la to be conducted for the
greatest: good of the greatest num
ber. -
HERE are some interesting fig
ures: The Russian wheat crop Sot 1933
la placed by the latest figures avail
able at the rather surprising total
Of 1,010.500,000 bushels. This Is
within nine million bushels of the
largest crop ever grown by Russja,
which, was In 1013, and totaled 1,
028.000,00 bushels.
The largest wheat crop ever grown
by the United States was In 1915,
and totaled 1,026,000,000 bushels.
r1 THUS appears that present ca
pacity for w.heat production In the
United ' States and Russia la about
the same. But Russia has three and
one-half times as much land suitable
for wheat as the United States.
It la easy to deduce from these
figures that In the United States,
because of superior methods, we are
able to grow about three and one
half times as much wheat on an
acre aa they have so "far been able
to grow In Russia.
But we can ALSO deduce that if
Russia IMPROVES her methods, aa
she Is trying to do, so that In time
they equal ours, she wltl be able to
produce some three and one-half
times aa much wheat as we can
which la another way of saying that
ahe can produce around three and
one-half times as much as she. is
able to produce now.

three billion bushels of wheat on

quite a disturbance, wouldn't It?
BUT here are some more Interest
ing figures:
j Russian's largest exportation of
' wheat waa In 1809, when her total
I sold abroad amounted to 200 million
bushels. Her largest exportation
since the war waa In 1013, and to
taled 113 million bushels.
With hlghei standards of living,
resulting from her five-year plan and
other advancements, her own re
quirements are increasing rapidly, so
that In time she may be consuming
ALL her own wheat. '
A LOT of people are Inclined to
look upon Russia's advancement
as a menace to the rest of the world.
That Isn't necessarily true.
As living standards in Russia In
crease, it may be that she will not
only consume more of her own pro
duction but at the same time will
provide an increasing market for the
products of the rest of the world.
