DECLARED RESULT

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

Delegates were registered from Mon
tana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and
British Columbia.
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

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.

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. The
electric refrigerator you want will probably never be so
cheap again. See your dealer today.

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.
