Flewher, the demon baker, flew to Portland on his week-end, and on the way back, when up about 9900 ft., started to lose r?ound. A csndldste was here last week, who formerly played the cornet. Another candidate visited who plays the bull fiddle, but left his fiddle at home. Word has been received that Mica ' Womack, former Nash Hotel and Main Stem miner, la In Colorado, where he has struck It poor again. The Portland Journal discovers "There are California cltlrens who have accounts with Portland mer- cnants, which they maintain as a means of avoiding payment of the California sales tax." This, does not seem like anything to tear the hair over. The aforementioned Calirornlans are cousins of the Oregonlans, who used to get married In Vancouver, Wash., and buy their auto licenses In either Washington or California. . The ease and grace with which criminals escape from ptnltcntlarles these days Is comparable only to "the daring young mail on the flying trapere." They Just naturally evapo rate. Within the past week an out standing kidnaper, serving life In Illi nois, trsveraed en Impassable sewer, and his whereabout are unknown. Sunday two departed from the Ohio pen by a simple ruse, abetted by a guard who seems to have been the asme. On Friday, two desperadoes walked away from San Quentln, Calif., prison. They were already outside the walls. They had no auto, so two policemen, with an auto, were kid naped and rode 30 hours with the fugitives. The fugitives were slain, but the circumstances surrounding the kidnaping and the 30-hour ride are under Investigation. One of the San Quentln escapes waa reputed to have elOO.ooo hidden In Texae, and was headed In that direction when a bullet laid him low. All the escapes are rated as "puMllng." but appear phoney. It may be necessary to In stall guards to guard the guards, who guard the criminals. The lawless are now getting out of prison faster than they can be paroled. BELUNOHAM, May 1. (At1) Both fatally gored by a bull last week, dou ble funeral services were planned for Jacob John and "Big John" Jacob, elderly Indian brothers. Hropliya Return Mr. and Mrs. Le land Brophy returned to Medford the first of the week after a several days' business tult in San Francisco, A BITTER critic of the sales tax takes this paper to task for being inconsistent. Last Friday, for example, we stated: "the farmer can't be delinquent on the sales tax for he doesn't pay it." In a previous editorial we remarked "the farmer pays a sales tax only when his sales exceed $50 per month." If the farmer DOESN'T pay a sales tax, how in tho name of Pete CAN he pay a sales tax when the sales exceed $30 a month! Fair enough. That does SOUND inconsistent, but it isn't. TTHE apparent inconsistency lies in the fact that the term "farmer" was used in TWO different Benscs and the sales tax in TWO different ways. In ONE editorial tho farmer was considered onlv as a RETAILER that is a farmer who engages in the. retail busi ness. In the OTHER he was considered solely as a farmer, who DOESN'T engage in the retail business. The farmer who acts as a retailer, must like EVERY OTHER RETAILER, pay the state a Vi tax on his sales over $50 per month. The farmer who isn't in the retail business, JWYS THE STATE no sales tax, and therefore as stated, can't be delinquent. As very few farmers are in the retail business that is sell direct to the consumer, regularly and in large quantities the farmers of this state, can't as a class, lose their cook stoves if the sales tax passes, as the Portland Journal charged, which was the. subject of the editorial in question. We hope that is plain, but don't know that it will be here appears to be so much confusion concerning the sales tax, particularly among those who are opposed to it. XME have no doubt, for example, that some opponents of the tax will maintain from the above that farmers who' DO engage in the retail business, and therefore have to pay a sales tax to the state, may become delinquent and therefore may lose their cook stoves, milk cows, radios, etc., etc. .Let's examine that for a moment. Take the farmer who, let us say, runs a-highway refreshment stand, or a meat market, or a feed store, or what not. He will have to pay a tax of V2 on his sales to the state. Buhe can't take that tax out of his sales. He must by law collect that tax from his customers. How then can he be delinquent, and lose his cook stove! ONLY if he violates the law, either by failinir to collect the tax or having collected it putting it in his own nocket. and rofusing to hand it over to the state. That's tho only way. Is anyone going to-crv his eves out over the predicament of a farmer or anyone elso who tries to tap the till and filch money that belongs to someone else! Our own judgment is such a porson deserves to lose his cook stove, and enough, of his other belongings, to make good the defalca tion. BUT (and this query actually CAME from a farmer in Jack nn nmiMttr M... k4V. J... U -1 i. .v. .. mo umi-i- unjr ) utivr Huoui mo iarmer tnat can t pay his sales tax AS A CONSUMER a purchaser! Can't the state proceed against him and grab his few remaining belong ings! Impossible, of oourse. We repeat, the farmer as a purchaser does not pay the tax to tho state, and therefore can't be delin quent, Ho pays it to tho retailer when ho makes his purchase if he doesn't pay it he doesn't get his goods it is really a part of the purchase price. So we return to our original proposition which is this : Tho farmer can't be delinquent on the sales tax for he doesn't ! pay it.. No individual pays it, but the retailer. So only the retailer can be delinquent. What the farmer sells to the retailer, is not taxed: what ho soils for resale is not taxed! He only pays a tax on his pur chases, and of these rent, doctor's bills, insurance, sale of personal or real property, are not taxed. Cattle and poultry feed purohased by farmers for their own use is not taxed. There is no tax on purchases of food and merchandise up to 25 cents, and only one percent on purchases from 25 cents to a dollar. And all the proceeds of this tax go to reduce tho school tax, city and rural it can't bo used in any othor way, and conse quently reduces the tax on every farm and ovory piece of pro perty in this state. It is porfectly inconceivable to us how any farmer in this county or any other who understands this sales tax, CAN be .'opposed to it. It is so plainly in his interest as it is in tho interest of all thoso who believe in maintaining our publio school system, and in a more cquitablo system of taxation. GOOD singing, has been possible, and has not been morally reprehensible. ' It is as unfair to judge a speech by one isolated extract from it, as to judge a carload of wheat by one kernel. Personal Health Service By William Urady, M.D. Comment on the Day's News Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene not to dls esse diagnosis or treatment, wlU be answered by Dr. Brady If a stamped self-addressed envelope Is enclosed. Letters should be brief and written Id Ink. - Owing to the large 'number ot letters received only a tew can be an- swered. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to Instructions Address nr. William Brady, Wi El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Cat. THE COLD CURE IDEA WILL NOT STAND ANALYSIS. From long experience In trying to teach the laity elementary hygiene and how to Keep well I know that a good many of you eggs will not con tinue to give me your attention unless I pop off a remedy now and then. I find that some of the people are curl ous to know what causes this and that ailment; others beg to In quire whether there is a cure for it; but all prick up their ears and listen attentively If we say anything about a euro or a remedy. That's natural enough. When we're well what do we care about the nature, cause or prevention of disease? - And when we're sick we're interested In nothing but to get well again as quickly as possible. Prom time to time, thanks to the kind friendship of some one In the news distributing business, some plausible cut and dried method of treating "colds" gains wide publicity and there are always ' plenty of wise acres who are ready and waiting to try the latest treatment for anything. Some of the methods of treatment or the plans of medication are built upon observations which, to the un sophisticated layman, probably sound reasonable enough. One of the more recent plans Includes rather heroic medication with saleratus, sodium bi carbonate, on the theory that "acid osis" Is a factor of "colds." All I can say about that Is that in my Judg ment the theory Is absurd and fit for a charlatan to Juggle with to Impress and intrigue his customers, but scarcely sultnble for the real doctor. You see, so far as we know, the con dition called "acidosis' (which means a lowering of the alkali reserve In the body below the normal level, but of course not an actual formation or accumulation of acids in the blood or tissues, for that would be lncom- ptiwoie wnn mc) so far as our knowledge goes, "acidosis" occurs ONLY as a consequence of certain dis ease conditions and In starvation or deprivation of food. Any respiratory Infection serious enough to produce a state of acidosis would be too se rious tor the patient to treat himself, If medical aid Is available. If I had crl and didn't know as yet what It was to bo, I'd rather take my chances without treatment than dls tttrb my metabolism wlh large doses of soda or other alkali. Another common "cold cure" is aspirin or similar coaltar derivative which kills pain or other distress. deadens sensation, lowers fever. If I were In considerable distress from; pain I'd tako a nip or two of aspirin. I But so far as treatment of crl la con cerned, I think It is a grave mistake to ply the system with any such dope, at a time when all one's natural defensive resources may be needed to conquer the Invading enemy. An other common and sometimes disas trous mistake Is the popular habit of resorting to such dope to dull the natural sensations enough to enable one to keep up and at work when by all normal and reasonable rules one should be at home and In bed con serving strength and vitality Instead of wasting it. In many Instances In practice have observed the sad effects of fool lsh attempts to "break up" the crl with some cold cure nostrum, at the cost of serious Impairment of the heart or blood or general vigor when the victim happened to be coming down with Influenza or pneumonia.

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre Don 't Be Hasty, Brethren K S tho above demonstrates, it is almost never fair to, judRO an editorial, or any other article for that matter by a brief quotation apart from the context. Even the Bible can be maligned as it has been for that matter by taking isolated extracts, and representing them as typical of the nook, as a whole, Tho demand from Portland that Dr. Rcxfonl G. Tugwoll, assistant secretary of agrioulture, resign, because in a speech made before a women's club in Washington last January he said: "American women should follow Mrs. Roosevelt's example and serve wines In their homes , . , one of the oldest and quietest roads to contentment Ilea through the conventional trinity of wine, women and song." furnishes a striking example. We don't recall that speech and have no copy of it, but we aro willing to wager none of the women who heard that speech, would favor demanding the resignation of Dr. Tugwell on moral grounds. And wo also wager if tho Portland pastor will rend the speech In its entirety he will be glad to forget the incident. For the subject of the speech was temperance. And it is reasonable to presume that the learned gentleman's approval of serving wine at dinner, was that wine is preferable to cock tails or whiskey. It is also fair to assumo that his endorsement of tho old German proverb, was not an endorsement of night club hilarity, or gin stimulated whoopee, but was recognition of the fact that through the age association of GOOD wiue, GOOD women aud EPS NEW YORK, May I.

By FRANK JENKINS A MONO the transients that fori three long depression years have been drifting from place to place many re mere boys. How did these boys get to be tran sients? What kind of homes do they come from? Whst shook them loose from these homes In the first plsce? THESE are Interesting questions. And the transient relief service has some interesting answers an swers gleaned from actual experience. 0N from a good home In the South I a well-to-do home. But his home life was strict none of the ordinary amusements of youth permitted. Amusements were wicked. So, one day, he RAN AWAY. FOR a year, he drifted aimlessly. Then he formed a casual ac quaintance with another young fel low. Happening to mention that he came from the South, his friend asked what town, and upon being told answered: "Why, I've been there often; just a few mobths ago, In fact." . The boy mentioned names among others, his mother's, without adding that she was his mother. He was told that his mother had died. THAT cut his last tie, and he went on drifting. Here In Southern Oregon, he fell seriously 111. The transient relief service started hunting for his rela tives a difficult task, for he had given an assumed name. But they were located, and some of them came on here. Prom them he learned that his casual friend had been mistaken; that his mother had not died. Now he has a new Interest In life, and Is going back home. ANOTHER boy came from a large Coast city, where his father i a moderately well off small business man. But he had never given the boy ANY spending money. So he started out to earn his own. He ran out of resources here, and again the transient relief started hunting relatives again under the handicap of an assumed name. The father, after sending many wires, was located, came on, heard the whole .story, and now the boy Is headed back home. A OTHER boy's father Is a sea cap tain. And the boy, not too sur. prlslngly, wanted to go to sea, like his dad. But the father wouldn't hear to It; wanted to make a musician of his son; asserted that the life of the sea Is a hard life and that no son of his should follow It. So this boy ran away from home. And so came In time Into the hands of the transient relief bureau here In Southern Oregon. i THE father waa Identified and lo cated, and wired to have "the young hellion held till I get there." News of his coming leaked out around the place, and the boy fled. The father came on and met the tranaient relief director, who gave him a talking to like a Dutch uncle, exacting from him finally a promise that If the boy could be found again he would give him a chance to go to aea. HE hoy was found came back again to southern Oregon. He was given a ticket home, where he was met by his, father, who made good on his promise ,got him a Job on his ship, and now he Is happily at sea, working like a beaver. (Shucks! Thst metaphor Is bodly mixed. Beavers don't work at sea. But let It pass. You know what Is meant.) Anyway, the boy la happy, where he wasn't happy before. , ND so on. This director csn go on telling these talcs Indeflnlte for his experience since he began his Job as transient relief director has been rich with them. And they sre all ACTUAL expert. ences.

To the Editor: Tho following statements are-" from the pen of a Washington, D. C, Jour nalist: "Youth seems to be paying the pen alty of the rashness of the generation which has been in control since the war. Washington, on the very day the president returned from Florida, gave a sad plcure, which caused usu ally brazen citizens to stand startled and amazed. "That evening one of the fraterni ties of the great Central high school of the city of Washington held a dance In the ballroom of the National Press "club at the heart of Washing ton, two blocks from the White House. This room had been rented and was filled with high schooj youths, boys and girls, most of whom were not out of the nursery when the armistice was signed. They had never seen an old-time saloon until this year, and they never had 'tested themselves out to see what they could stand.' "In a generation of Journalism dur ing my college days and since, I have never seen so many children who were Just dead drunk. It was a new sight a sad sight and It was an evi dence of a new and raw deal the people who are past 25 years of age are handing over to the youth who never knew what poison there Is In a liquor bottle. "In the nine leading countries of Europe during a study of conditions i on five different trips, the writer has never seen such a sight of drunken ness. In fact, In the past three weeks we have seen more drinking and drunkenness than during the 12 years of constant traveling over this na tion preceding prohibition repeal. "The youth today are paying a ter rific price for the moral slump which the United States suffered as regis tered in the twenty-first amendment. The morning following the high school party, two blocks on the main avenue of Washington had tho wreck age of three serious motor smash -ups and the pavement bore the great dark red stains of human blood, which told the story again that alcohol and gasoline make a fatal combination yes, that the liquor traffic Is harder on youth than war." In the light or this, many Rood people who voted for the 21st amend ment and many others who stayed away from the polls and dtd not vote against it should hang their heads in shame. A. W.

But yesterday, April 30. 1034, when I was uptown at 0:30 a. m.. there was not a flag m sight, although the American Legion had sold a few window cards to some of the business houses, I asked the Chamber of Commerce why they didn't have the flaja out and they wanted to know "Why?" The popular lookout point, "Pour Cities View," formerly owned by P. S. Thurston, has been purchased by Oliver Morton of Morton Milling Co., . Meorord, who intends to build a resi dence there.

Mr. Thurston has made a road to ' another point which haa an equally wonderful view, and the public Is In vited to visit this point as the best and most accessible viewpoint of the Rogue River valley.
