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."

Medford .Musicians Contribute
To Ashland Program Monday
Much praise for valley musicians Is
found In a report In the Ashland Tid
ings of the program given there Mon
day in observance of Music week. It
reads In part:
"Those who were privileged to hear
the concert given at the Methodist
church last night were more than
repaid by the pleasure afforded in the
numbers presented by outstanding
musicians who gave their talent In
this observance of National Music
week.
"Mrs. Arthur W. Wnrnock of Mcd
ford, accompanied by Mrs. H. B.
Janes, sang a group of folk songs:
English, "O, Willow, Willow, Willow."
When the Nightingale Shall sing";
French, "Snake Charmer's Song," "In
dia"; and two Americans, one a spir-
utal, "Oolden Crown," and an old
ballad, "Johnny Sands." 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. "Two violin solos, played by Mrs.
Helen Drummond, Medford. with M.-s.
Maurlne Duncan at the piano, "Cele
brated Air," J. S. Bach, and "Sou
venir De-Wienlaskl," Wm. Haesche,
ware feelingly Interpreted by the
player.
"In line with the folk songs sun
by Mrs. warnock, Mr. Enders led the
audience In the ensemble singing,
using familiar negro melodies."
