Johnston's Easier candy in fancy boxes. 3Sc to 3. at Woods Drug Co., But Main and Central, How To Reduce Taxes J. M. Johnson of Central Point resents tho fact that taxes this year in Jackson county are higher than last. So do we all. - But why are they higher I For two chief reasons. First because less than half of the tax payers in this county last year paid their taxes. And second because the strife and turmoil engendered here by the leaders of the socallcd Good Government congress and others increased the expense of running the county tremendously. The tax payers this year, therefore, must pay for both of these things. Mr. Johnson thinks this is grossly unfair that those who pay their taxes and uphold their local government, should NOT be forced to carry the added financial burden' of those who don't. It IS unfair. It's wrong. But how can it be avoided I If a property owner CAN'T pay his taxes, no law can compel him to. If he can but won't no law can compel him, either. If a certain individual or group of individuals insist upon staging a miniature civil war, involving murder and arson, there is nothing to do, but put the effort down and punish the guilty. This Costs money, and the tax payers must pay it. It's unfortu nate tragic, but there is no escape. It's the only way. IN other words we face a condition, not a theory. Resenting this year's tax increase is perfectly natural, but it does no good. The only thing that will do good, is to avoid as far as possible any repetition of the conditions which caused such a tax increase. First and foremost, put down any effort to start another "uprising" in this community BEFORE it starts! Second, pass the sales tax, by securing tax money from a hitherto untapped source, and thus materially reduce the property tax. Third, get together in southern Oregon, behind President Roosevelt's recovery program' so that business conditions, par ticularly those in farming, may be improved at the earliest pos sible moment. THE average man can't pay his taxes until he makes enough money to pay them with. Some people it is true have not paid their taxes because they wanted to use the money in other ways. But they represent a very small minority. Most delin quent tax payers have been delinquent from necessity not from choice. They would be tickled to death to pay their taxes if they had money in tho bank with which to pay them, Restoring harmony in Jackson county, getting together be j,jnj recovery program, rolieving the property tax and ' 1 , . .,,,.' , j catching the tax evader, by passing the sales tax, and Whilo that won't reduce taxes for THIS year, it will reduce I them for NEXT year and throughout the years to come. . i j i : ' '' 11 .

But again he was only thinking of himself,- and to his greed ho added the ignominy of cowardice. Too bad, too bad.

My husband, Mrs. wiseacre Informs me, suffered for years with an exag gerated form of gas, causing periods of excessive belching that lasted for hours, almost always at night. Three of our beat physi cian X-ray ex am l n a tlona chemical teste , , nothing helped him. Then I heard of Dr. Hny. H a. y, Kay, haven't I heard that name be fore? I found he had published a book on his theory of eating. Through a friend I secured the book, i began serving ell my husband's meals ac cording to the advice in the book. Today my husband Is a well man. I think he ate too much starchy food, white bread and potatoes. Neither is ever on my table now . , . Mrs. Wiseacre kindly sends a clip ping from a hootsy-tootsy magazine in which I read that "no human stomach con be expected to be acid and alkaline at the same time" and that according to Dr. Hay, when starch and protein meet In the stom ach or during the' same meal, fer mentation,' or Indigestion, results. It Is entirely reasonable to believe that the restrictions of diet Imposed by Mrs. Wiseacre on her husband brought about his Improvement, When she says his ailment or com plaint was "exaggerated form of gas" she tells nothing about the nature of the trouble, for gas Is not a cause but only an effect of the trouble in any case. Qas never causes pain, but pain, any pain, anywhere, may ac count for excessive distension by gas or air. When anybody habitually or even occasionally or Just socially overeats he usually makes his greatest strides In the consumption of carbohydrates sugars and starches. So the re striction of the amount of these de lectable foods Is the first essential In correcting whatever evil the over eating may have caused. God might have called Dr. Hay Into consultation when giving mankind wheat, the staff of Ufa for sustenance. Dr. Hay would have warned the Cre ator that It would never do to mix starch and protein In the wheat ker nel. There is a modicum of sense In the assertion that no stomach can be acid and alkaline at the same time. But why should anybody want to have a stomach that could be that?

I used gasoline os you suggested and am glad tottell you It did the work and I have had not trouble with It since. h. o. k. Answer The recommendation Is to soak the affected part of foot In PLAIN gasoline for not longer than one minute, on three or four succes sive days. This seems to kill the fun gus or ringworm which causes this common form of foot Itch. It is now difficult to find gasoline that con. tains no ethyl lead. It is unsafe to use ethyl gasoline. Only pure or plain gasoline not treated with ethyl-lead, should be used, Epilepsy A woman's mother was supposed to be epileptic. Are the woman's children likely to inherit this or a tendency to it? (L. W. J.) Answer Not If the woman herself Is normal. Epilepsy Is not specifically I transmitted to offspring. But If either parent Is epileptic there Is a greater chance that some of the children will show some . defect such as feeble mindedness. s ' What. Coming Bark To Life? Operated on two years ago liga ments bhortened, uterus sewed to abdominal wall, small-tumor and ap pendix removed. Have been careful not to lift, or strain. Is It O. K. for me to bowl or Is that too stren uous exercise? (Mrs. B, E.) Answer Ordinarily a woman should resume her customary activities within two or three months after such an operation. But you should be guided by the advice of the doc tor who knows your condition. It is really ridiculous how many who have undergone simple operations like that spend most of the remainder of their lives coddling themselves. It is not only ridiculous, but bad medicine for them.

OF STATE FOR MONEY LACK SALEM, March 31. (AP) Six rural schools have closed for the year and 44 others will close this week and in April with shortened terms of 8',i to eight months, O. D. Adams, director of the emergency education relief program in Oregon, said today. Schools which will be forced to close have been reported to the state department of education by the county school superintendents of Baker, Coos, Crook, Curry. Douglas, Grant, Harney, Lane, Tillamook, Umatilla, and Wallowa counties, Sev eral of these school districts have unpaid warrants dhted as far back as 1930. Discounts on these warrants are reported from five per cent up to 30 per cent with warrants in some districts uncashable except to tax payers who will trade them In on taxes. As yet no definite word has been received concerning Oregon's applica tion for federal relief money with which to keep these schools open for a normal length school term by pay ing the teachers' salaries, BY BUREAU HIT WASHINGTON.

Communications How to Kill Gophers To tho Editor: Gopher and mole pest: When these pests bother In your lawn or gar den, take your garden hose, put one end down Into the hole under the pile of dirt, connect the other end to the exhaust pipe on your car. Better use a piece of old hose about three or four feet long between pipe and good hose, as it might Injure the good hose from the heat. Start your motor, pull out choke so there will be some smoke as well as monoxide gas. You can see better where the runs go. Run your motor about five minutes and believe it or not, the pests are no more. Sent In by N. O. Smythe, South Central. 926 Editorials Are Discussed To the Editor: There are several things which you have recently dealt with In your edi torials which have been of special interest to me, and which I wish to discuss Just a little, if you p'ease.- First : Your good word of some time ago on the sports situation. I appreciate your findings. We are in great southern Oregon. We have the interests of the entire section at heart. Medford is the center of this great section. If Medford business, society, politics, schools, or churches are self-centered and aloof, the rest of the people will hate her; but If she Is generous, falrmlndcd, and a true leader, the entire section will be glad to give her justice In thought and appreciation. There is no better place for the populace to show their true mettle than In the field of sports. There Is no better place for the professed people of God to show their true worth and their purpose than In their attitude toward the needy and less favored people. Second: The tax question again. Several of our taxpayers who are paying their taxes have told me that their taxes for this year are cons.d erobly higher than last year. One man reports that while his taxes last yeor were about two hundred dollars, this year, with only a small increase In an Item of special levy, his taxes are two hundred and eighty dollars. If this system of loading the burdens of taxes onto our prop erty holders alone continues, and the uncollected taxes from year to year are added to those who do pay up, what will we come to? why should a taxpayer who pays up' be made the scapegoat for those who do not pay? Why should any man be penalized in such fashion for trying to keep square with his government? I think child could understand that this thing must be corrected right away. Again: Why should the taxpayers who pay up, living in a school dis trict where warrants have to be Is sued, be penalized by having to pay interest accruing against these war rants, some running for considerable time, while those holding the war rants get the benefit of the interest while bearing no tax burden? I sug gest that we find a way to keep our educational bills paid up by means of a better distribution of the tax burden, before we reach the point of rebellion In the heart of our peo ple, who are sick and tired of the ! Prentm Third: I do not feel Just like you do concerning the action of congress In overriding the president's veto. Great as our great president has shown himself to be, it la possible that among the hundreds In congress who take issue with him in this matter there may be some others who feel that congress should help run the affairs of the nation rather than allow the president to dictate every issue. We are coming to dictat orship some time, but this may help delay it; or, it may be the very thing t'that shall hasten that day. But with the country being filled with govern ment paid administrators, and mil lions of our people put to work on borrowed money tax bills piling up by the millions perhaps It will not be wholly disastrous to add the small Item of two hundred and twenty eight millions; or, It may be the last straw. Who can tell? At least this money Is supposed to go Into circulation; not, perhaps through the government set-up. but at least to our people. Who knows but some of It may find its way Into the hands of some people who are wanting to pay up their back taxes; or some that are not delin quent. I believe that this thing will help clear the atmosphere; but It may make denser the fogs. Have we a representative governmnt? Or, do we need a dictator at present? .TOS. M. JOHNSON. Central Point, Ore., March 31, Favors the Sales To To the Editor: I wish to commend you on your recent editorial entitled "Get -the Tax Dodgers.' as well as for the many good ones in the past. How ever. I do think that had other papers throughout the state given the sales tax sufficient space and attention before the voters first balloted on the measure, that the measure would not have been so overwhelmingly de feated. I admit you printed several editorials before the election but the measure apparently has so many ramifications that the average voter was Insufficiently Informed and in that case the voter usually says no. The paylrw of the additional 1H per cent that the sales tax would add to the cost of goods would be no different or harder to pay than the regular advance In the price of goods as they come about from mar ket conditions from day to day. which we do If we need the goods and dismiss the matter and go on with our affairs. Attain it la not the thing itself but the way we think about It that makes It good or bad. for Instance, the average person tak ing a dose of mineral oil which has neither color, odor nor taste, by as soclntltiff It In his mind with castor oil. wPi make a grimace and say it is terrible. The argument offered by the op ponents of the sales tax. that the big Interests would profit most by It enactmfnt seems about a reas onable to me as to say that you would foreco the making ot a free7er I of Ice cream at home because some member of the family could eat more than you could. j some or the statpment trufl at a debate recently by a prominent i opponent of the tax wen childish In the extreme. For Instance he said that If a merchant collected 9300 sales tax In a year that he would be allowed to deduct that much I along with other exemptions to his j Income tax which certainly Is pre posterous. Also It was cited as pos sible where one might pay as much as (9.00 tax on a hundred dollar purchase which is also ridiculous. In most arguments offered by pro ponents of the tax It is stated that it is only an emergency measure and was only passed by the legislature as a last resort but If it is as good a thing as It seems to be In those states that have tried It, reducing the property tax from 30 to 40' per .cent, why should It not be a per manent thing since it Is the easiest and most certain of collection of any tax. Those people who do not pay prop erty tax who argue that they pay taxes when they purchase merchan dise by paying their percentage of the overhead of the merchant selling the Item, seem to forget that the man who pays property tax also pays the same when he buys merchandise, in addition to the property tax. It should not be hard to understand that the cost of anything will be leas when shared by a larger num ber of people and by . collecting a small almost unseen tax from every one who buys at retail, we reach a class that have never before paid taxes but enjoy the benefits of our public institutions for which the rest of us pay taxes to support. I believe that the benefits of this tax, if sanctioned by the voters (as It will no doubt be submitted by referendum) will be so far reaching that ultimately the heretofore non taxpayer will be more than compen sated In the end for the little extra he will pay on the cost of his pur chases. F. C. STOUT. Medford, March 31. Many of Them, We Hope To" the Editor: The danger of our country being pushed over into the abyss of com munism lies not In the futilities of a brain trust but in the cowardice of a congress which, cringing under the whip of a noisy minority, dis credits democracy and writes it down a failure. I wonder how many newspapers are going to have the courage to say what your newspaper said yesterday. RAMSEY BENSON. Ashland, March 30. Mrs. Martin Wants Peace! To the Editor: In answer to your editorial of March 22, I wish to say that, although Mr. Earl B.

(AP) Fisher men will strike If their demands for 11 cento a pound for salmon from May 1 to August 10 are not met by Columbia river packers, delegates to a meeting of the Columbia Fisher men s Protective union declared to day. The union refused to consider the packers' offer of 10 cents a pound from May to July 31: six cents from August 1 to August 10 and four cents from August 10 to August 25. The fishermen ask seven cent a pound from August lb to August 35. Arvld Mattson, executive secretary of the union said the fishermen would not confer with packers but were pre pared to strike If packers did not fully meet their demsnds. Yesterday cannery workers at a meeting rejected wage offers made by the packers and demanded 60 centa an hour for all tillers and abolition of piece work. Packers offered 55 cents an hour and asked optional agreement as to piecework or. hourly scale. F.E.R.A.
