OF By Jane Is rail In the production of the "Mikado," to be presented through the com bined efforts of the students of Medford high school, the public will have an opportunity to see comic opera at its best. Comic opera is a combination of dialogue and music, both specially" composed In the spirit of comeny. Its typical national forms have boon the Opera Buffa of Italy, the Opera Buffe of France, the Sing-spiel of Germany, and later, the Gilbert and Sullivan type In England. The last type Is the most popular In the United States, because It Is so easily understood. Comic opera first attained prom inence in the eighteenth century. In Italy It became customary to in troduce Into the heavy and arti ficial grand opera, light musical sketches of everyday Uf. without limitation as to form. These proved popular and were presented as sep arate entertainments. In England Gay's "Beggar's Op era" started the vogue of the so called comic opera. It consisted of a burlesque of the customs and fashions of that day, with English and Scottish ballads. Modern English comic opera, which finds its origin In the Ger man and French comlo opera. Is represented by the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. The people of Europe seem to en Joy the opera more than we do, And they devote more time to It. The people of America go to musical com edies more than the opera, but once you have heard an opera you will enjoy ft Just as much the nexit time you see It as the first. CHICAGO, Feb. 17.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. (AP) The Bonneville dam, across the Col umbia river between Washington nd Oregon, was described by the bureau of fisheries today as "one of the most serious menaces to the exist ence of an Important fishery that the bureau has yet encountered." "Located near the mouth of the Columbia river virtually the entire run of salmon spawning in that watershed must successfully sur mount this obstruction on their up stream spawning migration," a bur eau report aald. "The returning young must reach the sea without injury If the salmon fishing indus try is to continue." T,he bureau has received $0,300 from the funds set aside for con struction of the dam to make a study and recommendations for a flshway over the dam. Army engin eers have asked for the data. "Tagging experiments have shown conclusively that the Columbia, river Is the most Important parent stream for Chinook salmon caught by trai lers In the north Pacific from Mont erey, Calif., to Juneau, Alaska," the bureau said. "Not only will the ex tensive canning Industry of Wash ington and Oregon be directly af fected but also every mild cured sal mon packer and dealer on the Pac ific coast, every fresh salmon buyer and retailer and every salmon smoker In the United States will feel the effect of the dstructlon of the Col umbia as a breeding ground for sal-mon." The bureau said approximately 20.- 000 persons are directly or indirectly dependent upon the salmon Industry of the lower Columbia which "dur ing the last 15 years has varied In annual value from 2, 500,000 to $7,- 500.000."

"It ,has been said by men to whom Mars, the god of war. Is an over powering giant, that even Great Brit tain and the United States will ulti mately go to war over rivalry in for eign trade." he said. "The argument that the two great English-speaking countries will -ever fight each other over foreign trade la ridiculous, for you are each the other's greatest customers. For what lesser trade would it be worth the while of either of you to go to the expense of war and impair the buy ing capacity of your best customer? "A similar situation to this on the Atlantic holds good on the Pacific. There Japan and the United States are each other's best customers."

NEW DEAL KEEPS SAYS GOP CHIEF (Continued from page one) M6.000.ooo. 000 we would still have only half the per capita public drbt that England has. They ask why the people should complain, In view of this fact. The people should not complain if they are willing to pay the bill." Sanders then cited the si? of In come taxes In England, giving as an example the $311 the $3000-a-year man pays In that country as com pared with the $20 tax In thla. "That is the side of the story which this administration Is not putting forth." Sanders added. "The people are being led to believe that in some miraculous way they are never going to be compelled to pay the bills of this administration. Yet nothing Is more certain. "That Is why there is no real pros perity In such movements as the CWA. Putting 4.000.000 individuals on the public payroll is not indicative of prosperity. It Is, to the contrary, proof of the lack of it. Thla is con trary to the 'new deal' philosophy. which holds that the more Individuals you have working for the state and aepenaeni on tne state, the better conditions are. That is the essence of state socialism or sovietism. If that were true, we could reach an Ideal condition of prosperity and con tentment by putting everyone on the public payroll. "The sophistry and danger of such a PhUosoDhv can be hrmipht hrm n every Individual if you would epplj it locaiiy. ir an industry locates In St. Louis, giving employment to 1000 men, that adda real buying power to the community. "But if your city adds 1000 men to the municipal payroll, you are adding to the expense of the taxpayer In an amount equal to the salaries of the 1000 employes. As taxes go up beyond a certain point, they become oppressive. When they become op pressive, the buying power of the tax payers declines. That is why adding men to public payrolls Is far from being the equivalent of adding men to private payrolls." Sanders said that the "forgotten, man." much discussed in the Demo cratic campaign, really would bear the burden of the recovery program.
