MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. TTEDXESDAY, MAT 9. 1934. PAOE TTTRETC ENTIRE SALES TAX GOING 10 OF STATE IS Society and Clubs Edted by Eva Nealon Hamilton "The sales tax Is entirely tor school relief. Except for the cost of ad ministering the law, the funds re ceived can be used for nothing else but school relief" with this open ing statement the May Issue of "Jack. ; son Jottings," publication put out by the county school superintend- j ent'B office, launches an appeal to I all Instructors In Jackson county not j to forget to vote and do all that they can do to prevent the light of j education from being extinguished for the common child unable to pay tuition. i The publication appeared yesterday and answers some very pertinent questions which have been asked by voters In all sections of the county, as well . as members of the school ranks. "Every dollar of sales tax money . distributed to our schools will be felt by property owners in tax re ductions against their property. "The tax la extremely simple and Inexpensive to collect. The state tax commission already has tnome tax collection organization, which will do much of the work. "No authentic Information Is or has. been available, whitfh connects with big business or Wall street any specific person or group of persons, who proposed and passed the sales tax In the state legislature. This argument against the sales tax is an almost perfect example of political smoke screen," the publication de clares. "The sales tax in no way oper ates to destroy the Income tax and 1b not intended In any way to sup plant It. "The sales tax Is proposed for school relief, for which there Is Im mediate need. The idea that school relief was brought forward in order to pass a sales tax Is vicious, mis leading and unfair to the schools. "The sales tax was not designed to relieve taxes already delinquent. No such claim for it ,has ever been made by Its advocates. "We are told that schools receiving 900 per elementary teacher from the two-mill elementary levy tax will re ceive no money from the sales tax; however, we are not told the rest of the story which Is this: No school lor the past five years, and we be lieve since Oregon has had schools, has ever received $900 per elementary teacher from this tax, which means that all districts in Oregon will re ceive money from the sales tax."

For each of these Mrs. Warnock told at wnat period written, by whom and a hit of musical history concerning tho selections. Mrs. Warnock delighted her listeners In her Interpretation of these so different songs, the quality of her voice and clearness of enun ciation, with the dramatic expression making her selections especially pleas ing.
