P'AttTC FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1934. GOVERNMENT ILLS DECLARED RESULT OF CIVICJLOTH Ship of State On Rocks Be cause Predatory Politic ians Thrive While Citizens Neglect Own Interest SPOKANE, Wash, April . (AP) Only century and a hall old,' our ahlp of Hate, leaking badly, Is on the rocks, all because of "civic complac ency," aome 2500 northwestern edu catora were told 'by- a prominent Callfornlan here today. Dr. p. wf Hart, professor of educa tion at the University of California, was the speaker. He 'addressed the opening general aesslon of the Inland Empire Education Association con vention. Dr. Hart, a member of the com- mlslon whtah surveyed educational conditions In Chicago, placed upon "elvlo complacency" the blame for bankruptcy. In that city's school eys tern. Chicago a Warning. "Chicago Is bankrupt and In the handa of financial dictatorship to day," he declared. "What has .hap pened In Chicago may happen any where In the United States. "Civic complacency la at the foun dation of the deplorable condition In Chicago. Civic complacency exists In very state In the union. Predatory politicians are found from the statue of liberty to the seal rocks." Unless Vie citizens generally arouse themselves from their civic lethargy, Dr. Hart warned, "the situation found In Chicago today will be nation-wide. Popular government will have fallen victim of Its own hand." Tax Jtacket Blamed. Aa causes for conditions In Chica go, Dr. Hart listed obsolescent tax machinery, a "tax racket" and a tax strike. The "tax racket," he ex plained, was the "sell out" of the assessment rolls by the "elected pub' llo servants and their henchmen the predatory politicians." The educator made three augges- tlona for correcting these conditions First, creation of state foundations tor promotion of Justice in tsxatlon, economy and honesty In government; second, making every home a forum for the discussion of social, political and oconomlo Issues, and, third, for mation of a commission made up of laymen, educators and tax experta, charged with the duty of atudylng comprehensively the whole problem of taxation and of proposing a pro gram of sound legislation. These suggested reforms, Dr. Hart aid he believed, "would serve to plug the leaks In the ahlp of state." Old Ship la Sound, "Some demand a new ship," he concluded. "For my part, I believe the old ship la sound In principle and Is built on the right lines, but ft needs a term In the dry-dock, It's outworn machinery must be ripped Tells Of Shininor Husband's Shoes U v - 1 V ' " ' ' "J" I A " v A Mrs, Michael F.

A picture of hope for the future of education was drawn for the del egates by Dr. Charles A. Rice, presi dent of the association and superin tendent of schools at Portland, Ore., In his annual address. "The present situation,"' he de clared, "opens up the three possibil ities for the future of education. These are chaos, revolution or evo lution." He expressed the opinion that evo lution la the path that will be tak en, wlfch education becoming a fun damental concern of the state. The peak of the depression la past. Dr. Bice said he belelved, and ' bet ter days are ahead of education."

T Wires from Washington indicating that municipal bonds may be ex empted under the National Securities Exchange act were received today by City Superintendent ' Fred Scheffel, following such advocacy made by Medford. A wire from Congressman Chas. H. Martin stated that the committee had agreed to exempt municipalities un der the act, and one from Senator Frederick 8telwer stated that a pub lic hearing would be held Thursday for consideration of such amend ments to the act. He stated that he would do everything possible to bene fit Medford'a position. If cities are not exempt under the act, municipal bonds will be subject to taxation, which would complicate their sale.

Safe, too, is the food for the whole family. Also, in purchasing an elec tric refrigerator his mother was thinking not only of safety but also of economy. She counted on keeping fresh food that might otherwise spoil ... she knew that left-overs could be kept and made into new tasty dishes for later meals ... she planned on pur chasing in larger quantities, buying at Saturday prices and keeping the food in the refrigerator until wanted later.

Cor. 6th and Bartlett Don't gamble with your Fruit Crop! THE fruit grower of the Pacific Northwest, after experiencing a substantial improve ment in the sales prices of his commodities, looks back with regret upon his disastrous experience with spray programs which re sulted in a material reduction of his pack out because of worm damage. The lack of control meant the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to each community in addition to the expense of valiant effort to curtail this loss. The experience is too fresh in the memory of every grower to encourage its repetition. Therefore, growers will unquestionably pre fer to use standard products such as Sherwin Williams Arsenate of Lead and Sherwin Williams Summer Mulsioa rather than take a chance with materials which in their personal experience are unknown in value. Sherwin-Williams Arsenate of Lead (manu factured by the largest manufacturer of spray materials in the World) is not an experiment and it is not a product concerning which there need be any question in the minds of any as to its effectiveness. Maximum Toxicity In the research work done by the Sherwin Williams Company in actual orchard prac tice and in laboratories, Sherwin-Williams Arsenate of Lead properly applied produced almost instantaneous results, hundreds of newly hatched larvae being found dead on the surface of the fruit, resulting in a very small percentage of stings and worm entries. These tests involved the counting of several hundred thousand fruits. Hundreds of growers ob tainedmaximum control during 1933 with two arid three cover sprays, suffering an exceedingly small percentage of worm dam age, in many instances saving from one-third to one-half of their iray bill. With a record such as this should you gamble with your apple or pear crop? In face there is no need to gamble with your spray dollar; no need to try spray programs or spray materials which are unsupported as to results through universal usage and universal control. There is a Sherwin-Williams Horticultural Advisor near you. He will gladly cooperate in suggesting an elective and yet economical spray program. A SHERWIN.
