' Tha government announces It will investigate reported graft In 45 states arowlnn out of CWA-PWA activities. The three state of tne union, not mentioned, are making a vulgar dis play of their honesty and do not seem to realise nothing was stolen but government money. There should be no crowing about their virtue. The politicians are exceptionally lar-jr, abnormally slow thinkers, or Just naturally failed to get around to their thieving before the others csmr under suspicion. To date, the lieu tenant governor of Iowa and two ife male politicians of Los Angeles have been Involved. The girls peeled 78. 000 off the federal bankroll In less than two months. The Iowa official was ambushing himself for bigger meat. He was a nifty cusser of Wall St. In cornbelt campaigns a geatt lover ot the common people, and their votes.

(Old Cowboy Soug) An Opportunity for the Journal 'T'HE Portland Journal, as a great champion of popular rule, and the upholding of democratic principles, should start a drive for tho reform of the state grange with which it is so intimately associated. A local grange member, for example, informs us that ou any political question, the official grange publication, allows only one side to be presented. In the matter of a state sales tax, which tho organization opposes, tax are allowed in its columns, ARE. From tho same source we are informed, that no individual I grange, the membership of which by popular vote may be J unanimous for a certain political measure, can publicly endorse such a measure, if the legislative ration is opposed. In other words, individual granges have no freedom of action, in political matters, The legislative committee having opposed any eales tax, the endorsement of the sales tax by sev eral local granges, both here and elsewhere in the state, is a violation of the organization's rules, and therefore out of order. 1TE can't believe that such T " Portland Journal, or even by grange members who believe in fundamental democratic principles, free speech, a free press, and open covenants openly arrived at. No one questions a majority should rule, but in evcty self governing unit that prin ciple should ALSO be upheld. Moreover in every democratic institution, minority rights are protected, particularly in the direction of the right to make their sentiments publicly known. That these principles adopted by the Journal, is clearly demonstrated by that paper's policy regarding communications on the sales tax. The Journal is bitterly opposed to such a tax but it refuses to exclude from its columns, communications favoring it. In today's issue for example, the Journal prints the follow ing communication favoring the sales tax: Portland. Jan. as.. To the Editor of The Journal In your editorial of January 10, regarding your Salem correspondent, he should have been told by the tax collector that he could pay his school tsx separately and without paying his other tax: but he . should have been told at the same time that by paying his school tax his property was by no means exempt from tax sale by the sheriff at the specified time, aa Indicated on the back of the tsx statements. If any other part of his tsx remains delin quent. So. while It would benefit the schools of the state to some degree, It would not benefit the taxpayer very much, and the public should know the facts. If the proposed sales tax Is defeated there will be a general property-tax 6trlko: simply be cause we. aa home owners, sjid unemployed, are at the end of our tether, and helpless, and the ssles tax plan offers a wsy to divide the load snd require all to do their part, "A good citizen will be as anxious to do his part as a citizen, aa he Is to demand hla rights as a citizen." So snys our presi dent. In substance. I am certain the average citizen Is willing ' to do his part. Really, there should he a permanent sales tax Installed: that Is, a carefully prepared sales tax law enacted and the present vicious tsx law discarded. However, the proposed messure will help out In this emergency, If It carries: and If It Is defeated, and If at least 80 per cent of the old-time Indus trlsl payrolls are not re-eatabllshed and general prosperity does not return with a bsng, you will see a 75 per cent tax delin quency on and after December 15 this year, on homes snd fsrms throughout the state. So how, to avert that situation, let us carry out the aplrlt of he NRA and "do our part" and vote for the sales tsx. w. T. Wooden. That's tho proper spirit. It follows a fundamental principle of American journalism, which opens its columns to all expres sions of opinion made in good faith and observing certain rules, whether or not they are in harmony with the editorial policy I oi me paper concerned. We are quite sincere in our Journal could not only render a service to the state, but to the state grange, by using its unquestioned influence to secure the liberalization of the regulations and by-laws of that influential organization. . Believe It A CCOBD1NQ to press report ' claims to havo discovered Loudon fogs have been worse than usual this wintor. Spurred on by this condition, the scientist aforementioned claims he has dovclopcd soino mysterious and potent ray, that will dispel fog over an area of 400 square miles. We hopo he is right, but from what we know of fog, seriously doubt it. However in this age of scientific miracles, it takes a brave, and rather foolhardy individual, to dogmatically question ANYTHING. I F he IS right, and some method log over such an area, then and successful air transportation has been removed, for all time. Fog is aviation's nemesis. It is tho only thing'that prevents all humanity, day in day out, taking to the air. It remains the chief cause of practically all serious airplane accidents. INCIDENTALLY there is hardly any price Medford and the Rogue River valley could not afford to pay for such a machine. . , . Dispel the fog that is filling tho valley at tho present moment for example, and tho sun would shine, the sky would be blue and cloudless, everyone would be enjoying a perfect winter day. Fog on the floor of the valley always means perfect weather in the higher foothills. Of course for eastciu readers that "perfect winter day" should be explained. A perfect winter day in the Rogue River valley doesn't mean sparkling snow drifts and sleigh bells. It means, golf sticks and motor rips, it means tho early Fall or late Spring. It means all around the best weather that Nature can produce. Perfect a fog dispelling machine, and Medford would he the greatest wintei resort in Christendom. So keep up your good work, Mr. Man whoever you are. Do what you claim and here in Southern Oregon you certainly will have a customer I SHANGHAI. Jsn. 3.

'Jhrtowrhen wiuw'Siroea something about the anatomy, physiology and pathology of fat. Indeed I am only a lowbrow medi cal student, but there Is alwaya i crazy notion roll lng around in the back of my head, to wtt, that a fair elementary course an Anat omy and physi ology in the grammar or nigh school, with a term of Pathology the last year of high school, would be a long step In advance In education. In the last set-to I had Just de molished the conventional theory of capillary vessels and lymphatic ves sels, pointing out that so far as I have been able to seer both capillary blood "vessels" and lymphatic "ves sels" are In reality Just spaces be tween cells and fibres of the tissue a bald assertion which any one U welcome to challenge If he can show me an Isolated capillary or an Iso lated lymphatic vessel X had sailed along with great assurance up to that point, and then suddenly found my self In an embarrassing predicament how waa I to get the lymph from these mere spaces or channels be tween cells and fibres Into the rugged and uncompromising receptaculum chylae which, I am scarcely prepared to deny, conveys the lymph and chyle (emulsified fat absorbed from the intestine) directly into the blood stream, the chyle receptacle emptying Into the Internal jugular vein In the left side of the neck. Oh, well, let's not get all In a stew over it. What's the dlf. whether there are lymph vessels or not? Person ally I'd never say a word about such trifles were it not for the annoying habit of certain bombastic "authori ties" who bolster up their funny teachings by referring to capillary or lymphatic "vessels" as tho they know all about such elementary matters. Suffice that the oil or fat food is emulsified in the Intestine, absorbed through the lac ten 1b and villi, which are minute finger-like projectons of the mucous membrane welt designed to suck In the milk-white emulsified fat or chyle. The chyle enters the receptaculum chylae and Is conveyed through the thoracld duct, a tube half as large around as a lead pencil, to mix with the lymph In the duct and be emptied Into the left Internal Jugular vein in the neck. It mixes with the blood and Is carried In the vein to the right side of the heart, pumped from there into the lunos. back to left side of heart, and then out through the arteries to the whole body.

B. M. H. Answer There Is evidently plenty the matter with you. You need a complete health examination by your doctor, to begin with. Then a re vision of your mode of life when the doctor determines Just how you are slowly dying. Obviously you are far from being entirely alive. Iron. In my work, photo-engraving, we have iron and ammonium citrate. both the brown and the green scales. Of course this is the commercial product. Is this the kind you recom mend for anemia? K. R. M. Answer I do not know. Anyway, Iron and ammonium citrate Is so cheap that It would be Inadvisable to experiment with the possibly im pure commercial product. Complete Instructions for the use of this rem edy for simple anemia are given in the booklet "Blood and Health," which will be mailed on request, if you Inclose a dime and a stamped envelope bearing your address.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. A HEADLINE, which you probably saw moat of us aren't missing such headlines these days says: "Upward Trend In Business Cheers U. 8." You bet It cheers U. 8.1 Something like that Is what we've been waiting for a long time. THE story under the headline re fers to the weekly Dun Ac Brad street trade review. It says: "Virtually all of the reports re ceived this week, regardless of the section of tbe country, emphasized the strength which the upward trend has now attained." That is to say, business la improv ing ALL OVER the country not Just in a few favored spots. SOUNDS good but la Intangible and Indefinite makes you feel good, but provides nothing you can get your teeth Into. Here, however, la something TANGIBLE AND DEFI NITE: General Motors corporation, the largest builder of motor cars In the country, reports net earnings of 83, 214,000 In 1033, which compares of a DEFICIT of more than $63,000,000 In 1932. That Is to say", putting it In lan guage that all of us understand. General Motors LOST 63 millions in 1932. but MADE 63 millions in 1933. That's quite a difference. ANOTHER straw In the wind, gleaned from the financial pages: Bethlehem Steel Corporation,, one of the country's Industrial giants, SHOVED A PROFIT In the last quar ter a quarter, you know, la a three month period for the first time In several years. Get that, for it Is Important. For several years, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation has 'been LOSING MONEY. In the last three months of 1933, It MADE MONEY. T'HE WIRES, as these words are X written, are chattering out this bit of news:. "The Northern Pacific Railway had net operating Income for 1933 ot 95,975,973, aa compared to 91,990.389 In 1932. December 1933 net operat ing Income was 9996,823, compared to 9500.613 In December, 1932." Nearly three times as much profit, you see, In 1933, as in 4932. THESE are big corporations, narrow-minded, prejudiced sons will be Inclined to say: and yes, the big fellows are beginning to make money again, but ( how about us little fellows? Where do we get off?" Let's be sensible, even where big business is concerned. General Motors, Bethlehem Steel Corporation and the Northern Pa cific Railway, to be sure, are big con cerns. But, because they are big, they provide a lot of Jobs. They can't OO ON providing Jobs unless they make a profit. If Jobs are to be plentiful and wages good, big concerns must show a profit. Otherwise, they will have nothing to PAY WAGES WITH. VfOU have Just read that In 1933 A General Motors Corporation made 83 mnnon dollars, That looks like a lot of money, and It IS a lot of money. If you or 1 could make that much, we'd certainly be sitting pretty. Unless we stop to think, it looks like TOO MUCH money for anybody to be allowed to make But you must remember that hun dreds and hundreds of millions of dollars are invested In the business of General Motors Corporation. This money haa been Invested by thou sands of people all over the country. When these 83 millions' of earnings are divided up among all the owners of General Motors common stock, they amount to 91.73 a share. Oen eral Motors stock, on Saturday, sold on the New York exchange for a trifle over 939 a Share. 80, you see, at the current price ot the stock, these 83 millions of earn ings amount to a little less than five per cent return. That certainly isn't exorbitant.

Ye Poet's Comer Crater Lake. Up In the silent hills here lies A lake as blue as the limpid skies; A lake whose setting awakes anew The heart of nature in review. The verdant cliffs around her stand. While rock and tree link hand In hand; All ready are they to guard from harm Her beauty and her wondrous charm. The fleecy clouds while floating by. The happy birds while winging high, Are mirrored In her depths so blue. While tints are seen of varying hue. But through the sunset lights so pale, There covers lake as -with a veil. The misty amethyst and gold. E'er the twilight seems to fold. Then peeping o'er the rugged cliffs, The silvery moon her luster lifts; While myriad stars go twinkling down, Reflected as a gorgeous crown. No ripple moves this lake so calm: The silence seems to cast a balm; Blue sky above, blue lake below. As secretly her waters flow. And standing round so high and seer. The old majestic mountain tops ap pear. Surrounding grandeur such as ne'er can fade, The Land of Beauty on parade. NAN L. FORSYTH. Winchester, Virginia. (The author above Is a relative of Will G.

Window-Dressing. There waa an excess of ballyhoo about the success of the treasury financing, but It really did not mean much. It showed the government can finance comparatively short term pa per as long as banks are flooded with excess reserves. It also showed thero are a few other places where people want to put their money. It la as suring, but not conclusive, as to what may be expected in the future. The advance window-dressing was splendid. The federal reserve board was called Into session and Issued una of ita few public statement, prom ising to cooperate. Meetings were held at the White House.
