SICK BED PLEA
FOR SALES TAX
Superintendent of Medford
Schools Hopes Voters Will
AH Go to Polls Main
Danger Is Seen Up-State
From his bed In 'the Community
hospital, where ha haa been shut off
i from the world for many weeks, un
. able to continue his campaign for
-continuance of public education for
all children, via Initiation of the sales
. tax, E. H. Hedrlck, superintendent of
, the Medford achoola, yeaterday voiced
an appeal to all Jackson county vot-
; era to go to the poll Friday and
vote.
He voiced the appeal over the re
. monstrance of e staff of nuraea and
attending physicians, and In defiance
of all the rules and regulations,
when a reporter, straying through the
hospital found hla door open, Ignored
the "Poaltlvely no visitors this
means you" algn, to obey again her
ex-school master, who called "Come
: in."
Danger TJp-State
Tn answer to the old question "'How
are you," Mr. Hedrlck responded
"Shut off from everything, I don't
get to read the papers. I don't get
to see anyone. Mo I haven't had a
chance to follow the progress of tho
sales tax. But from what t know of
southern uregonians, i Know mat w
tax will pass here, If they get out
and vote. They are Better lmormeo
' than the people up north and less
apt to be Influenced by demagogues,
The statements slid off hla tongue
with great apeed, as If there were
behind them a long suppressed ae
sirs for expression, which was finally
rettlnej an audience.
"Are you going to vote?" waa the
next question edged In between the
rapid flow of answers. .
"If I can possibly get out of here,
Mr. Hedrlck replied, giving the bed
clothes an extra rumpling and turn'
lng to the Interviewer. "I Intend to
be at the polls."
"Is- there anything any of your
friends can do for you?"
"The moat acceptable thing anybody
can do for me la to get out and vote
for the sales tax Friday.
"There la more danger of defeat
In northern Oregon. The people there,
It seems, are more easily misled than
southern Oregonlans.
"What will happen If the bill doea
fall?" the school superintendent re
peated the queatlon, aa If weighing
It, then answered, "It la difficult to
at? at this time. There has been con
alderable talk of closing achoola. Per
aonally I do not think there'll be
much actual closing of achoola.
Feara Tuition System
"Instead of closing, achoola will
probably go on a tuition basis." such
a program was then deplored ,ln no
uncertain terms, by tne long Time
worker for maintenance of public
education, who explained that It took
two or three hundred years of fight
ing to bring publlo education to the
country about 100 yeara ago.
"The achoola could hardly oloso,
when there are many people in the
district, who have paid their taxes
In full and an entitled to the serv
ice. There are of oourae over one
third of the children, whose parents
pay no tax. dome pay a heavy tax,
however, and have no children.
"The tuition angle la a terrible
one, which I do not oare to talk
about, much less contemplate. The
burden would naturally fall on thorn,
who don't pay a property tax. We
couldn't ask the others to pay twice.
We know poaltlvely that most of the
parents, who come In the non-tax-paying
group, are not able to pay
tuition. If It comes, as educators fear,
It will mean that the poor children
will be on the atreets."
The dlaaertation waa interrupted
with the queatlon, "How muoh tui
tion would parent be required to
pay, if such cornea to pass?"
118 to $45 Yearly Cost
With an irritated expression, Mr.
Hedrlck went Into the thing, "It coats
80 per child por year for education
in Oregon. We wouldn't have to
charge that muoh, however, since cor
porations such aa the Southern Pac
ific. California Oregon Power com
pany and wealthy individuals pay
much In exceaa or tne amount re
quired for eduoatlon of their chil
dren, leaving a margin for the others
So in the final analysis I would guess
the cost at two to five dollars pr
month or 1B to Its per year, for
each ohlld, but we don't intend to
have tuition If we can help it."
"But doesn't the Oregon law te
qulre schools to remain open for at
least eight montha?" the reporter
asked.
"The law alao requlrea that peo
ple Bay their taxes," Mr. Hedrlck fin
lshed the sentence, and Just then a
nurse appeared with an exclamation,
which scut the reporter on her way,
aa the school superintendent conclud
ed, "Necessity supercedes all laws."

WILL HELP V. F. W.
Dedicated to the relief and assist
ance of veteran and their la ml lie,
who are desperately In need of help,
the fourteenth annual sale of Buddy
Popples will be sponsored In the city
of Medford and the. Rogue River val
ley on May 35 and 26 by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars of the United States
and Its Auxiliary.
A city permit for the poppy cam
paign has been granted and the or
ganization of volunteer workers has
already been begun by Dean K. Stacy,
general chairman.
"No one who la not closely asso
olated with veteran problems can
realize the urgent need behind our
1034 Buddy Poppy campaign," aay
V. T ,W. officials. Since paw age of
the so-called economy act In March,
1933, which cut thousands from the
pension and compensation rolls, and
forced many others from their sick
beds In government hospitals, the
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the
United States has faced an acute and
difficult problem.
"Our disabled comrades, their wives
and children are on the verge of
starvation. Those who were not com
pletely cut from trie rolls suffered
cut of 20 per cent or more In the
face of an Increase In the cost of
living. Others are physically unable
to work and the economic situation
handicapped thousands of willing ex
service men.
"The annual Buddy Poppy cam
paign Is a source of funds with which
to administer the relief and assist
ance so sorely needed by these dis
abled veterans and their dependents.
We appeal to the public to support
this activity; we need volunteer
workers to help us sell the Buddy
Popples on May SS and 20. although
the members of the post and ladles
of the auxiliary will more than do
their share. Any one volunteering Is
asked to get In touch wltbOeneral
Chairman Stacy or the auxiliary
poppy chairman, Mrs. Thomas K
Flynn, phone 107.
"Let us remind the publlo that
buying and wearing one of these
Buddy Popples on those days Is a
tribute to our honored dead, who
sacrificed their lives that this na
tion might endure."
