Post) ' One of my first assignments was to interview Mrs. Leslie Carter the Carter-Belasco alliance was " very much in the public eye Just then. Merely to Bit In her living room and hear Belasco tell about his plana while we waited for her should have been more than enough for me; but how could I listen to Belasco when Mrs. Car- , ter was dressing in the next room and I could actually near ner snapping on her corsets. There was something to tell my grand children about. ... Hard Times balls, and new hind tires are the latest signs of Prosperity around here.

The tree Is not very good looking, but neither are some of Its enemies, who feel It should, after 35 years of honest growing, be retired to the woodsheds. The removal of the tree would not enhance the landscape much, but would give a clearer view of the windows In the county engi neer's office. ...

MOTHERS DAY STAMPS ON SALE MAY THIRD Three-cent stamps, rommemorat .no ri.v h.v. srtlred at the Medford post office and will Be placed on sl May a, Frink DeSousa, post master, announced today. The stamps are an appropriate trlb. ut to motserhood. featuring a well knoa mother picture. Can't They Tell the Truth? WHY, oh why, can't the opponents o the emergency sales tax, tell the truth ! If their cause is so. popular and so righteous why must they resort time after time, to misrepresentation, trickery, and the dressing-up of half-truths as whole truths! 17E HAVE previously called attention to the cook-stove " canard, the attempt to convince the farmers of Oregon that if the sales tax passed, nothing on the ranch would be safe; the sheriff could step in, if the sales tax were not paid, and without appeal to any court, cart off anything on the place, from the baby's bank to the family cook stove. That was ' just plain hooey. The farmer CAN'T be delinquent on the sales tax for he doesn't pay it. The retailer pays it, and only the retailer can be delinquent. Tet that argument has been advanced not only once but several times, in an effort to scare the farmers of this state into defeating a. tax measure, that, if passed, will benefit them more than any other one class. A ND now comes the Voters Pamphlet! The negative argu- ment on the.sales tax signed by Ray "W. Gill, Master of the State Grange, contains in paragraph S, the following statement: "Schools receiving $900 per untt of state elementary school funda cannot get any of the sales tax money, but their people would pay the sales tax." TVhat does that mean! "What is its plain. implication! Obviously this: That if the sales tax passes there"'WILIj BE school districts in Oregon receiving no sales tax whatever, but forced to pay the sales tax, for the benefit of other districts. That's right, isn't it! Read it over; and see if you can find any other meaning. . :. ,: And if the people believe that what will they do!. They will vote against the sales tax, for no one wants to pay a tax and get no benefit from it. ' T ST fundamentally, that statement is as false as the cook stove statement, although unlike the cook stove statement it is LITERALLY true. Any school district receiving $900 per unit of state elemen tary school funds WILL receive no sales , tax benefits, the theory being that a district as rich as that, will not need .them, and the sales tax receipts in such a district will be distributed among districts less fortunate. But Mr. Gill certainly knows and everyone familiar with the school situation in Oregon knows, that no district receives as much as $900 per unit,, none has in the past four years, and none will as long-as the sales tax remains in effect. The highest amount ever paid in this period, was $670, that was in Multnomah county the most densely populated and richest part of the entire state. The amount in Jackson County since 1929 has never exceeded $276, while the average of the state is' considerably LESS. So -while it is true to say no district receiving $900 per unit will receive SALES TAX money ; it is ALSO true to say no district has or will receive $900 per unit, and therefore ALL DISTRICTS WILL RE CEIVE THEIR SHARE OP THE SALES TAX MONEY. THERE, brethren, is a typical anti-sales tax argument, o half truth drpssprl uD tft represent a whole truth, a per fectly brazen and unscrupulous attempt to deceive the voters I of this state, and secure by chicanery and misrepresentation, the defeat of this tax reliet measure. , Mr. Giil knows or certainly should know, that if this sales- tax passes it will help every school district in the state. It can't do otherwise. The law is plain. There is no escape. Yet he, over his own signature, takes advantage of a pro vision of the law, which would exempt these benefits from exceedingly rich districts, by making it appear, that if the law passes, there will be districts in which the people will have to pay the tax, but can receive NO benefits. WHY, oh why! Why did the Portland Journal ever advance that specious, cook-stove argument. What is the matter with these people fighting the sales tax and the public schools of Oregon! They claim to be so interested in the people of this state, have so at heart the interest of the farmer and the toiler, and yet they refuse to trust these people with the truth. If the sales tax passes, no farmers are going to lose their cook-stoves. If the.sales tax passes, the people of no school district, are going to have to pay the tax, and rece.ve no school benefits. All school districts will be benefitted. And yet the sales tax opponents persist in these falsehoods and half-truths, and as far as we can make out, intend to continue along that line right up to election. Strange, very strange! To our mind one of the strongest arguments in favor of the sales tax, are the disgraceful methods being used, by the demagogues and professional politicians to defeat it.

YOU HAD BETTER KNOW ABOUT SPRAY INFECTIOX When I m about to talk about atory Infections are spread by klss thls Important health question over' lug, and possible. though I believe a national broadcasting chain the j highly unlikely that they may be censor of the broadcasting company , spread in some Instances by the cus lnslsted that I torn of shaking hands. These modes on the strange ground that It might . be unpleasant for listeners to think, i about it! Far be It from me to im- j aglne that these sponsors of many, radio programs would expect the broadcasting company to do Its duty in a situation like that. Every one knows that during sneering or coughing more or less spray Is shot from nose and mouth, because the droplets in such spray are often quite visible. But during ordinary conversation a similar spray is given off.' only it Is less apparent because the droplets are too fine to be noticed, as a rule. Yet the drop lets of moisture, mucus or other se cretion may contain the germs or virus of disease, whether the spray is produced by coughing or sneezing or by talking. There Is a difference between cough or sneeze spray wlt,h nose and mouth uncovered) and conversation spray. The cough sneeze spray j carries up to ten or twelve feet, while i the spray from ordinary talking car- rles less than five feet from the nose or mouth (uncovered). This has been precisely measured by scientific in vestigators. It Is not guesswork. T.he Inference which we should draw from this is plain and practical. When you have the cri or when you meet or associate with any one who has it, you are beyond effective range as long aa you can manage to keep at least five feet away. At that dis tance you are reasonably safe or your associate is, as the circumstance may be, provided you are reasonably po lite and do not sneeze or cough open fac. either in the face of your as sociate or upon the environment. Of course a suitable muzzle or masK should be required for animals that indulge In open-face coughing or sneezing in the presence of intelli gent persons: a muzzle ora kick where it will Impress the animal moat. It la entirely probable that resplr- peppermlnty gathering always, but as a matter of fact more distinguished authors and contributors to maga zines are found In the sedate Coffee House club and The Players. At the Lambs luncheon hour there la also a round table, rimmed by the leading actors of the day. This is usually presided over by Gene Buck, who has not missed lunching at the Lambs, when in town, for 31 years. Wilton Laskeye once boasted that he had never lunched but three other places in New York. While the Lambs midday meal is called luncheon it is mostly breakfast for those filling en gagements. But for racketty klx ko-ax ko-ax, given me the clattery uproar of any mid-town automat at lunch time. Everybody Is Immediately denuded of false grandeur by becoming at once hla own waiter. And do not imaglno for a moment the patrons are all from aome vague obscurity. I have seen C. B. Dillingham there In his most opulent days. Also W. C. Fields, Jerome Kern, Berton Braley and Slme Silverman. And the Oddities of chance of Monte Carlo's roulette are no more diverting than the automat's nlckle-ln-the-slot clicks, and certainly far more expensive. For the young lovers of an older New York, to my notion, there was no luncheon place equalling Clare mont. now being converted into a cheaper wayside eatery. It is an old white colonial day structure deep in years but living briskly in the motor tide of tbday's life. Beautifully aet on the left bank of the Hudson, fit was as sparkling with romance aa the river below. One of the very few places where Mrs. Fiske and Maud Adams were ever seen in public when they were at the peak of careers. Incidentally, Claremont Is where Christy Matthewaon took his wife for lunch upon returning from a long swing around the ball circuit.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Harm? It Is a Pleasure! Is there any harm In one who is underweleht drinking a glass of sweet cream dally? (A. O.) Answer. Certainly not. If he or f.he can take It. As a rule it is bet ter to take half cream and half milk, and that only some two or three hours after meals, or at bedtime. Also the milk and cream Is better If RAW, if you can get raw milk or cream that is safe to drink. Certified milk is ideal. Coffee How much coffee is it safe for person to drink each day? I have diabetes and want to keep on the safe aide. (N. B. W ) Ans. You may take clear coffee (without sugar or cream) about as freely as anybody. If you use sugar, milk or cream or any substitutes for these in coffee, you should have your physician's advice about the quan tity you can tolerate. Motherhood Is Worth It I wllj soon be 42. My first child was born 16 years ago, died at birth. Eleven years later my next child, now 5 years old, was born prematurely. I am healthy enough. Would It be too risky for me to have another child at my age? (Mrs. I. J.) Ana. If you can still roll a somer sault and come up smiling you can have another child. (Copyright, 1934, John F.

QUERY: Is rugged individualism dead YET in this country? ANOTHER query: Will It be a good thing for this country if rugged Individualism in business does die out? This writer is old-fashioned enough to believe It WON'T. - FIFTY years ago. Dr. Jonathan C. Meaklns. of Montreal, new pres ident of the American College of Physicians, says in Chicago, life end ed for the average person at the sge of 40. Today, the majority of men live well beyond the three score mark. Fifty years HENCE, he adds, any person willing to use his intelli gence and will power may reason ably expect to live 100 years. THAT Is to say, your children's children will possess opportuni ties In the way of length of the span of life that are closed to you. Your children's children will pos sess many opportunities that are closed to you. This will be quite a different world 50 years hence. W HAT most of us will want to know ls whether 80 years hence people will be able to live USEFULLY to the age of 100. If not, nothing much will have been gained. H ERE La an Interesting story that raska: "An NSF (not sufficient funds) check did 20 worth of business In Fairmont recently before the final owner tried to get his money back and found the check waa worthless. "There were 20 endorsers on the back of the check, and these 30 men made It good to the final holder at the rate of five cents each, feel ing that it was a good Investment." THAT incident answers this Inter esting question: What ls money? Money Is any medium of exchange In which , people HAVE CONFI DENCE. In thla Instance, It was a slip of paper with a name signed at the bottom. As long as people had confidence in It, It waa Just as good as a piece of gold of the statutory weight of a dollar would have been. THE point Is, of 'course, that peo ple will CONTINUE to have con fidence In the gold itself, because It has Intrinsic value that la, It possesses vslue In Itself. That ls why gold standard money, which meana money that can be exchanged for gold, ls the most use ful money that haa ever been In vented, for people CONTINUE to have confidence In It. If money Is to be genuinely useful, people must CONTINUE to have con fidence In It. THAT ls the trouble with rubber dollars. People are apt to lose confidence In them at any moment. up Plight o Time (Medford and Jackson County Hlttiiry t'rum the Flies ot The Mall Tribune of u and 10 Years Ao TEN YEARS Al.O TODAY April 27. 19',M.
