Editorial Correspondence
PASADENA, Calif., March 6. At last a movie worth talking
about. That makes two since leaving Medford, a batting aver
age, of about 4 percent. The first one was "Six of a Kind"
with Charley Ruggles and Mary Bolnnd; the second is "It
Happened One Night", with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.
Sounds risque, but isn't. Clean as a mountain spring (almost),
very funny and excellently done. We have always regarded
Miss Colbert as a victim of poor casting. In this she has some
thing worthy of her charm and talent. No milk baths and she
only has to raise her skirt above her knee ONCE. She is the
spoiled daughter of a very rich man who runs away to find ber
husband, the marriage having been annulled, A $10,000 reward
is offered for her capture and she runs into a Clark Gable, a
star reporter, on a motor bus, who rec0gni7.es her and keeps
her prisoner for his big story, and to regain the job he had lost.
The complications are many and highly diverting. We have
never been a Gable fan, but old "lop cars" does noble in this.
In fact he demonstrates a true and sure comie touch, which
we didn't suppose he bad. To our mind by all odds the best
thing he has done since he graduated from gangster roles into
the S. A. class. - .
If we were running a movie studio we would concentrate
on these light smart comedies. It seems to us the technique
in this department has been perfected far above that in all
others. "It Happened One Night" compares favorobly with
"Private Lives'' and "This Is the Night." Perhaps there could
be higher praise, but not from the' skipper of THIS department.
Best shot: Clark Gable "strong
lay-off the heiress.
W. B. Edwards, formerly an architect in Medford, is ap
praiser of the tax department for the city of Pasadena. He
designed several homes on the hospital hill including the late
Dr. Conroy's, and often visits, Med ford where he has many
friends. He has a son at O. S. C, and regards Oregon as the
best summer vacation land in tho United States.
We met him quite by accident when we went to the city hall
here to find out a few facts concerning the sales tax. We wished
to clear up two things: first, the statement heard in Oregon that
the people of California never voted for a sales tax ; and second,
that contrary to report, the sales tax is unpopular down here
and at the first opportunity will be repealed.
Had quite a long talk with Mr. Edwards. Here follows the
gist of his remarks : ' . '
'Tho people of California voted for a sales tax by a large
majority. Neither the grange nor organized labor in this state
made an active campaign against
NOT a political factor except where some issue directly in
volving agriculture or horticulture, is involved. It adheres to
its policy of being non-political. It is however' very effective
in securing legislation safe-guarding and advneing , its
SPECIAL interests. ,
"Organized lnjior did not favor tho sales tax, but has never
campaigned as an organisation against it. No tax is popular.
But there is and has been less opposition to the sales tax than
any tax ever adopted in this state. But for tho sales tax schools
would have been closed, and property tax delinquency advanced
to alarming proportions, Tho sales tax promises to raise nearly
.11100,000,000 in the' hiennitim, and has literally saved the state
from financial collapse. There is no evidence that it will be
repealed. In all likelihood, the sales tax will be accepted as a
permanent clement in the tax structure, of the state."
Mr. Edwards regards the sales tax as fair, as any tax could
be. ' It exempts no one, but levies the tax in exact proportion to
what the individual can afford to spend. But its greatest, value
is the ease with which jt is collected the fact that there is
no delinquency it is the onlv 100 percent tax known. And
finally in Actual practice while it raises a hugo sum, it is pain
less, f
Football has become very popular in Russia not the Amer
ican game but soccer. Recently when the champion soccer team
of Russia met the champion team of Turkey, the captain of
the Russian team pranced on the field with a hugo bunch of
roses In his hand. Circling the stadium with the crowds cheer
ing and followed by his stalwart men, he led the way to the
opposing team's bench and with a deep bow presented the Turk
ish captain with the bouquet.
That was taken by Manriee Hindus, author of "Civilir.ation
Uprooted'1, "Red Bread" and other studies of modern Soviet
Itussia, as the introduction to his talk on "Russia Today1' at the
Community theatre this afternoon. It seemed to fs a very
pleasing and effectivo way of impressing his audience with the
fact that Russia and the Russian people, are DIKKERKNT
basically and temperamentally different. The theatre was well
filled with a typical Pasadena audience, which means an audience
of older people well dressed, serious minded, and listed among
tho doublo AA's in Bradstreet. In other words it was such
an audience that any Bolshevik in good standing, could have
blown up with a liomli, left them writhing in their death agonies,
and never felt a qualm, in fact would have been honored by
the commissar of tho local soviet, as having done his good deed
for that day.
We have rend "Red Bread" and "Civilization Uprooted",
so we know Mr. Hindus, born 111 Russia and educated in this
country, knows what ho is talking about and has a very readable
literary style. But we DIDN'T know ho was also an orator
in fact a public speaker of quite unusual magnetism and power.
The latter fact, however, was clearly demonstrated when these
elderly gentlemen in their well tailored black clothes, gloves
and shiny canes, toddled into their limousines when the lecture
was over and agreed that tho talk was "very interesting."
Just how Mr, Hindus does this, we haven't yrt figured out.
What he really said about Russia was DYNAMITE to a'.i the
cherished traditions and the incomes of these venerable
representatives of this successful at least successful until re
cently capitalistic system. For he maintained the Russian
experiment is succeeding not for the people of this country or
any other but the Russian masses in Russia. lie predicted
that if and it is rntber big if if there is no war between
Russia and Japan, in another 10 years the Russian people will
have created a new deal which will permanently demonstrate
that a new social order can provide material and spiritual well
being for over 1(H1,IKHI,(MI0 people, without any private business,
any profit system, nny unemployment, or any war!
That is a pretty big order- but as far us we could judge the
arming" this man Karns to
it. The grange in this state is
audience swallowed it and liked the taste. We know one
member of the audience who literally foams at the mouth when
anyone mentions radicals or Reds in Russia or here, and yet
came away from this talk beaming and declaring the young
manVas perfectly delightful.
What js the answer! Well tho only one we can present now
is this: A young man with some reputation in the literary world,
magnetism, and a lively tjnd picturesque style, can say almost
anything he likes and get away with it in Pasadena. In fact
we don't believe Pasadena audiences as a whole think things
THROUGH or want to. It may be merely a matter of age.
There is a period when the brain however active superficially, is
no longer sensitive to new impressions that is RADICALLY
new ones. To us the reaction of that audience today is simply
incomprehensive except on the assumption that a great majority
liked to listen to Hindus, but refused to THINK about what he
said, or try to determine the real significance of his message.
For the young man was obviously SYMPATHETIC with a
program that destroys private property and denies God. His
hearers not only believe in both, but couldn't live without them.
Yet never a murmur of disbelief or protest I R. W. R.

In more or less

Communications
Answering Mr. Taylor.
To the Editor:
Your issue of March 5 contained
communication by a Mr. P. W. Taylor,
a atranger to me. Inasmuch as Mr.
Taylor's remarks bear slightly upon
the sales tax Issue. X will answer that
portion of his letter. y
The cost of educating a pupil In
our city schools. Mr. Taylor states. Is
80 per year. Therefore, he concludes
that MB0 per year is borne by my
neighbors In educating six pupils.
Were this true, my children would
leave school at once.
First. Mr. Taylor bases his deduc
tions on false premises. To illustrate:
When one purchsws a ticket to ride
to Portland on the train, that one
contributes to the funds to pay the
railroad's taxra, upkeep of equipment,
dividends, aalnrlea. etc.. of the rail
road company. The same la true
whenever you make a purch.ae from
your grocer, light company, me t mar
ket or other vendor. How woulO ny
storekeeper stay In business If he
hsd no customers? His sales are the
source of his money to pay taxes, live,
own a home, have a car and continue
in business. Then tell me that I pay
no taxes? The cry of the world to
day Is for markets for products. As
a matter of fact. I pay taxes on prop,
ertv In two school districts In the
Itngue niver valley and have no. chl-
idren In school In either district.
I Second: Looking at It from Mr.
jTavlors viewpoint. In order to pay
sufficient school tax to meet the
vrarly expense of educating, in the
Medford schools, six pupils. I would
have to own propertv with afcwsrd
valuation of fc30.8n.ao. Or. if the
sales tax should be passed, I would
have to make purchases of 133 000
per year on which ssles Iai Is charged.
I do not know If Mr. Taylor la mar
ried or haa children. If so. t con-
grxuiaie mm -uu nnpr. wi m
of all who do have children, that the
;a)ea tax graft may never pass. It

Ql'ESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Rome Children Are Not.
I'd like to get In touch with the
party who wants to adopt a girl baby.
I have corresponded for many years
with parties who have babies for
adoption and those who wish
adopt them. These babies are all
from strictly religious homes . .
P. W. J.
Answer I find it Is Impossible to
serve as go-between in any adoption
scheme. People who desire to adopt
babies should keep In touch with the
physicians in their community.

Its defeat. Imagine our legislature's
refusing the people the right to vote
on it, after the voters emphatically
turning It down. 4 to 1. The legisla
ture did this by refusing to permit
the referendum clause to be Incorpo

lic? Yes, ao far as the law-making
bodies are concerned, but we stlil
have a bit of voice In self-government
and will reiterate our former

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
E LEARN from a headline: "Ore
gon Liquor Board Faces Trouble
In Law Enforcement."
Not enough money available, It
seems, to hire the necessary num
ber of officers to do the enforcing.
Hence the trouble.
WELL, the taxpayers of Oregon
can aay to the state of Ore
gon: "We know how that goes. We're
kept from doing a lot of the things
WE want to do by the fact that we
can't get money enough to do them
with."
THE state, theoretically. Isn't both
ered by lack of money. It fig
urea out what it wants to do, then
levies taxes enough to pay the bills,
leaving the taxpayer to do the wor
rying. But in times such aa these, when
people aren't making money enough
to pay their taxes, the state HAS
to worry.
Probably & little worrying along
that line won't do It any harm In
the long run.
SPEAKING of money, they've been
picking up lumps of foul-smelling
stuff down on Bollnas bay, near
San Rafael, and a San Francisco
chem't has Just reported that at
least one of these lumps appears
to be genuine ambergris.
Ambergris la a substance ejected
by whales. It floats In with the
tide, and la found along beaches.
Hardly a month goes by that there
Isn't an ambergris excitement some
where along the beach.
About nine times out of ten, the
substance supposed to be ambergris
turns out not tc be.
TKE reason for the excitement Is
inu amoergns is wortn, at pres
ent prices, around $28 an ounc.
In the good old days when a dol
lar was worth a dollar, year In and
year out, regardless of what that
day's proclamation by the govern
ment might have been, gold was
worth $20.67 an ounce.
So you can see why the . finding
of ambergrla, real or fancied, creates
quite an excitement in a quiet lit
tle beach community.
-
AMBERGRIS, Incidentally, smells
like the devil that Is, If the
devil smells as foul as he ought,
in view of his allegedly loathsome
practices. Yet It Is used In the mak
ing of perfumes.
Animal musk, which also has a
filthy smell, is likewise used In the
making of perfumes, whose com
mercial merit is that they amell nice
and so make those who use them
seem nicer than they might other
wise seem.
(To be literally accurate, one
ahould say "the women who use
them." The man who uses perfume,
especially If he uses too much of
It, Is an object of suspicion among
all his fellows).
Isn't chemistry wonderful?
1ITHY la ambergrtsworti ao much?
V7 Well, one reason la that a lit
tle of It goes a long vay, and In
addition it ta scare. Things that
are scarce and hard to get are apt
to be valuable.
Another reason Is that perfumes,
In the making of which amberirrla
la used, sell at exceedingly high
prlcoa. Hence .high prices can be
paid for the raw materlaU entering
Into the making of perfumes.
WHY are perfumes high priced?
The answer to that la Inter
esting, and contains a lot of hu
man nature. Nearly everybody, you
see, will cheerfully pay high prices
for luxuries, no matter bow bitterly
he may complain about the price
Of NECESSITIES.

BY O.O.McIntyre
NEW YORK, March 10. While every
corner of my home Is treasured, the
den where my desk la holds my most
pronounced affection. It Is not a sur
prising room and
Its bitter tor
ments far out
welgn Its Joys. In
It I have floun

No matter In
what part of the
house I try to be
comfortable, I'm
Irresistibly drawn
to the den or when we put on com
pany manners, "the study." About
the walls are strung pictures of dogs,
gone and Jiving. Silvered frames of
my mother. Dad and Will Hogg. A
cosy hlggeldy-piggeldy.
Caricatures by Webster, Brlggs,
Da Beck, Roth. Crayons by Flagg and
Christy. In a corner a cavernous full
length chair with a bright drop light,
a refuge from those sudden over
whelm ings of despair and sanctuary
for the blissful stretch. In the chair
I have wept and gripped the arms
tight when the wind blew hard.
. A man came today to buy my home
for a fairish price. When he left I
wandered about, bidding a figurative
farewell to this room and that. As
always: my circumlocutions ended In
the study. I dropped in the chair and
sent this 'telegram: "I must have been
