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. '

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.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Insulin Treatment.
Can you tell me the name of a doc
tor In our neighborhood who gives
the insulin treatment, and the general
cost of this treatment? E, M. P.
Answer Any physician can give
such treatment. I can give no in
formation about costs of treatment.
Sulphur.

beef, bread, oatmeal, potatoes. Sul

has no specific effect on the system,
apart from the general effect of pro
tein (nitrogenous) food.

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.

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

To the Editor:
One year ago. on April 30. 1033, the
day was set aside as "President's
Day," and the flags were put out
along the sidewalks In "honor" of the
occasion. 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. Morton has hsd a weU drilled
which has sn BOO-gallon per hour
flow.
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.
When I told them, they put out their
flag.
Ed Brown put their two flags out.
I talked to two of the leading Amer
ican Legion officers and they didn't
know anything about It. "Some pa
triotism!" Well, the results were three flags
out on sidewalks at noon.
I remain, a veteran,

John Questions Claim.
To the Editor:
I see by the papers that B. C. Arm
strong of Josephine county claims to
be the first white child born In Jack
sonville, and claims as his birthday
February 30, 1853. I want to say
that no one, Including myself, was
the first white boy born in Jackson
ville, whose birthday comes In 1853.
U necessary I can prove It.

A certain lady and I bow aloofly
i passant. Out driving with her
today 1 observed the car had a thin
squeak a aort of twitter. You mean
a tweet, she said. That tweet touch
ed me off. Any man with a tweet
to his car would be a sissy.
