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

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.

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

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.

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.

Interval.
TodRy the white mlsta came
And veiled the countryside
To where I stood, and yesterday
The sweet, cool winds were there
And fields were free and wide.
Familiar scenes were hid from me
The road into the town
The friendly path, the rocky slope
And at Its feet the little grove
Of oak trees gnarled and brown.
The mist which fell In drops of rain
Lay on the clover at my feet.
And hung like crystal on the stems
Of broken weeds: and on the blades
Of vivid new-green wheat.
Sunlight had not come today
To gild the grey: and find
The raindrops flashing hues.
A softness held as of farewell
Of days now left behind.
Of a far spring of summer sun.
Days that swiftly ran
Into the gold of autumn; winter
came
With frost flowers wreathed their
epitaph.
As only winter can.
Now they are memory
The future Is concealed
Todav seems but an interval

The new day ts revealed,

does not dim nls Jov at all:

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. However, It
is obvious that the administration
had no idea the Issue would go over
as well as It did.
