U.S. Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry. A transient Indigent who fearlessly ate through the late revolution, has returned from an extended behaving of himself In California, and ready to enlist again In any hellralslng, If the county will furnish the beans and the gasoline. Several citizens plan to leave early Friday on a fishing trip, and will vote on the way home, at the end of the day, they say. HOW LIKE A LADY! (Chlco, Calif., Enterprise) Dear Miss Ohatfleld: I am old enough to know bet ' ter but I am engaged to a man who lacks most of the qualities . that make a good husband. , The local Brat Bolshevik, or Young Cnmmunlat is limping. He was teen ' talking to a O. A. R. veteran with a cane. . Wall St. has ' ceased chasing 8. Morris, the terrific tiller of Table Rock, giving both a well-earned rest. An owner of a strawberry patch . has beat both the robins and the touring victims of the Depression to his crop. , There need be little sympathy wasted on the two women Involved in the kidnaping of ' a Los Angeles millionaire. They were after the same thing as their male companions the money. Sure,' they regret their crime but most of all they regret their capturo, REPORTORIAL ART (St. Clnlr, N. I).. Republican) M. B. Hammons had an expert ence last Thursday night about 6:30 while on his way home from Bolivar where he had taken his wife to spend the night with their daughter who la In school there, and to attend the Efficien cy School at the colllege, which all It lacked being a holdup was that he did not stop, ' The weather Is now warm enough to kill the blight, and bake the babies. ... It was commonly believed when Haggln was alive that he had a for tune running as high as H80.0O0.OO0. All he left when he died was 120, 000,000. (Nation's Business.) Never theless, It Is a handsome though piffling sum. ... The Qleemen warbled Mon. evng In their dress suits, snd sang like they never wanted to take them off. YE 8KI.F-KKFACKR (Oregon Voter) The subject still has the same wife he acquired In the begin ning of the narrative and they seem to be that way about each other. She effectively manages a business and a home and then ' finds time to ride a hobby, char acter building for girls In Camp fire, 'having Just been honored with the presidency of the Camp fire Guardians' association. Ha' finds himself reforred to as "Mrs. Xlngsley's husband" and If he gets any votra at all It Is more likely to be on her account than Ms own. The Portland Journal blames "fear of the people" for the Impending falluro of the New Deal. Inability of ih wa MaturuM hfntH- m.nA I Human may have had something to do with the present wobbllness, The New Deal accomplished two things, via: Impressing upon the American people they had a backbone, and that they would not drop dead If they pent a dime. Up to he time of Its creation, few would admit they had either. WINDOW ObASa We sell window glass and will replace your broken windows reasonably. Trowbridge Can lnet Works . All kinds ot in. oianaa for sale for rent, no hunting do trespassing and other cards tot wit at Commercial Printing Dept. ox UaU Tribune, Study Your Ballot WE have been asked several times the past few days, to publish a slate for the primary, tell the people how to vote, for what and for whom. . We have never done that in a primary. We never expect to. We don't believe the time will coine when it will be necessary for this newspaper to tell the people HOW to vote. The func tion of a newspaper is not to give ORDERS, but to give INFORMATION, and to properly INTERPRET that informa tion. This the Mail Tribune has endeavored to do. The main issue in the state at large is the sales tax, and we have certainly given ample space to that, and our interpretation of it. The main issue in Jackson county is rewarding and uphold ing good government retaining publio officials who have made good during a trying time and batting down the self starters, demagogues and incompetents. Ample information and inter pretation in this direction we trust has also been provided. This paper has no political axe to grind. If the members of the two parties select honest and trustworthy men, we won't tear the editorial shirt, because some of our favorites are not among them. The Last TPHE primary, of course, is only preliminary. The parties 1 select their candidates; the people don't select their offi cials.' So while this election, like all elections is important, it is not, as far as candidates are concerned, final. One important issue, however, will be finally settled on Friday, that is the emergency the show is over, for the present So we make a final appeal the welfare of this state, and school system, to vote for this measure. We don't share the view of those who think the sales tax hasn't a chance. We believe if all the people in this state who believe in such a tax would vote for it on Friday, the victory would be a decisive one. But unfortunately so many of those who favor such a tax and sec its need, under such conditions as now prevail, will prefer to play golf or go fishing on election day. In fact this, as we see, is the great danger to good govern ment in this state, at the forthcoming election public indiffer enco a small vote. Only if a large percentage of the people fail to do their duty, can we see breakers ahead politically at least as far as Southern Oregon is concerned. So again and again and again we ask. Go to the polls on Friday and vote I More Misrepresentation To the Editor: Referring to your editorial of April 37th entitled, "Can't They Tell the Truth?", you should put this in reverse and direct It to the sales tax sponsors who have made so many misstate menta regarding the sales tax. You are leading your readers to a wrong understanding of the sales tax bill. Read from Sec. 20-B of the bill. It provides as follows In the distribution of' ' sales tax receipts: "The county school superintendent shall apportion to each of the districts In his county the amount due them as set forth In the certified statement of the Superlnendent of Public Instruction; provided, that no district shall be apportioned for Ita elementary classroom units an amount which, when added to the district's apportionment from the state elementary school fund, will exceed 9000 per elementary classroom unit." That means that those districts which receive In excess of 1900 per class room unit, cannot draw the full unit of sales tax money If Superintendent Howard's $400 per unit estimate Is correct, With better payments of taxes, apportionments of the state elementary funds will be materially Increased. You refer to Senator Strayer's statement. Note the recent article by him tn the Oregon Journal where he has absolutely ' proven his statement to be correct. RAY W. GILL, Portland, May 14. The above letter shows Mr. Gill's unpardonable ignorance of the law, or his insistence upon misrepresenting it. Section 35-1801 of Oregon School Laws for 1931 which provides for the two-mill Elementary School Tax states: "The total amount of such tax as computed and determined each year ahall be apportioned among and charged to the sev eral counties of the state ..." l'lcaso notico that the law says "THE TOTAL AMOUNT." The Attorney General's opinion given to the District Attor ney of Grant county December 30, "The whole amount represented by two mills on the dollar Is required by the present statute to be' credited to the State Elementary School Fund In each county by the Treasurer with out any deduction for any cause whatsoever." Mr. Gill's statement that better payments of taxes will in crease apportionments from this of the law as the fund is distributed in full as levied, bearing no delinquency whatsoever. Just another misrepresentation. The fact remains absolutely DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF from tho sales tax under Section Duff Evangelists To Close Service On Sunday Night The Duff Irish Trio conducting evangelistic services In the first Methodist church here announce that this wilt be their last week In Medfdrd. their meetings coming to close with a great service next Sunday evening.

Frees To Lecture On Bible Tonight Christian Church J. M. Frees, local bible student, who will lecture at the Christian church at 8 o'clock tonight, declares scrip ture study la very much like going to school, at least In one respect, and that Is, there are certain definite basic rules that must be followed whether It be arithmetic, English or aome controversial doctrine. "When Steven was stoned to death there were at least four genera) rules that the Jewish mob paid little at tention to," says Frees. The speaker declares he believes these four rulea are as reliable aa they ever were and If the legalists of any age would heed Qod'a Invitation, "Come, let us reason together," In stead of Inciting hatred and a mob spirit then the prayer of Jesus, as re corded In Jno. 17: might come to pass.

A lot of good people who had be come almost resigned to the sad con cept promulgated by a certain health adviser to the effect that complete wet wash la not nec essary for health, at least not very often, are now all upset by an Item lnadver t e n 1 1 y published on the funny I mean the front page of the newspap era quoting old Mr. Ltndley. who couldn't stand the climate In Ant arctica and had to come home. This tottering valetudinarian announced In quavering tone that no one takes a bath In Little America, for it means pneumonia! No wonder they shipped the old gentleman home. He must have been a sore trial for Commander Byrd. The commander, I understand, la a good clean fellow and aa kind as an Eagle Scout to the aged and Infirm. But even he could hardly be pected to put up with a chap who naroors euch quaint notions. It Is too bad they were unable to have Dr. Coman along this time. Re member how the doughty doctor used to cavort in the patio au nature!, when the temp. wa flirting with forty below, at the time of the first Byrd expedition? He could have re assured old Mr. Llndley that a bit of a c!ean-up waa not at all dangerous One danger the members of this and all other polar expeditions can count on evading, after they get evway from contact with civilization, Is pneumonia. Yes, and alleged "colds" too. Mr. Vllhjalmur Stefansson'a exper ience outweighs yours or mine or Mrs. Ben Told's, I should consider. Mr. Stefansson tells me: "No one In any of our parties has ever, so far as I know, suf fered the slightest 111 effect from indefinite exposure to damp.

An ocean of dreary sand -wastes, dot ted with Jets of lifeless, sage. Mile after mile. Sage and sand. It's a Biblical p r o p h ecy that aome day It will bloom like the rose, And the Mo J a v e already nears that ful filment. On a rocky outcrop a long- eared Jack-rabbit poised a quizzical second and was off in a flash, like humanity rushing from Imaginative fears. Now and then across the expanse civilization lifts a sun-baked bead In an adobe hut or an abandoned box car on a siding. Arizona has always an eerie beauty at night. The moon tints a patina of heavenly pinks over tho yellow scarps, rising like suddenly puffed sails In sheer beauty. Even above the car wheels the mystery is height ened now and then by a thin and long-drawn-out tremulous cry. One thinks of lost souls. Arizona has shared well In nature's bounty, save In one particular water. It Is aa though a great painter had finished his mighty canvas without the most Important stroke.

Please don't Infer that I think It does you good to get your feet wet or to take an all-over bath. All I contend Is that It does you no harm If the exigency Is such that you can't very well avoid getting your feet wet or taking a bath, go right ahead and don't worry. If you eaten anything, send for a good doctor, who will try to find out what alls you. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Rattlesnake Bite Professor Vorhles of the University of Arizona, In Bulletin 135 Issued from the university, says potassium permanganate is useless for treating snakebite, and advocates antlventn but gives no detail of its use . . . (D. M. B.) Answer I agree I believe most physicians do. The best treatment for bite by rattlesnake, copperhead or moccasin. Is Immediate Incision of the i pi ace bitten, with knife, razor blade or thorn or bit of glass, two criss-cross cuts each an Inch or leas long and one-eighth- inch deep, to Induce bleeding, then immediate and prolonged suction of the wound, and an Immediate Injection into the tis sues about the wound of a dose of antlvenln.

Add sudden ambitions: To be an Iceman in the desert. To while the tedium In the club car we fell to telling of train wrecks happy inspiration I The bright young "man from Washington, D. C, was re minded of an engineer he knew In Barstow, which we were approaching. A devoted family man, the engineer always waved from his cab to bis happy family grouped in the door of their home near Barstow. One even ing he was Indulging the customary salute, looked down the track and too near for warning saw two of his children strolling down the tracks. In the long silence I grabbed the hook and cried: "How horrible I Were they killed?" The smart alec replied: "No. The train, recognizing them, Jumped right over I" Grandma always told me never to fall in with strangers while traveling. I remarked to the Clare Brlggs looklng dining room steward today that 1 never tasted fish save on trains and chiefly when crossing a desert. Students of analogy could doubtless explain the fish and desert link. Cer tainly no two things could be more remote. The steward explained It was a common gastronomic yearning. An extra supply of fish la always put aboard at the desert borders. With the rest of the suckers. Beyond Barstow landscape begins to color. Palm trees sway In gentle whisper. Clouds of alkali vanish be fore the audden scent of wet-green orange groves. Clumps of pony-high walnut trees shimmer like sliver birch In the moonlight. The primitive adobe, Its two windows shuttered like cataractod eyes, becomes a magnifi cent Spanish castle with candy striped awnings and patio. It may be stagecraft the triumph of man. But what other state has harnessed so much loveliness, natural or arti ficial? So here, California, is another softie. In spats) (Copyright, 1034, McNaught Syndi cate, Inc.) f squares on paper.

Hear Bursell for Senator, 7;1S p. m., (Continues irom Page One) Monday, Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. IN THE past four years, we've had plenty to complain about and It doesn't need to be added here that we've done plenty of complaining. But did you ever stop to think that there Is seldom a time when we HAVEN'T got something to complain about? We had it, even back In the fat years, before 1929. It was the high cost of living then. THE cost of living began to in crease rapidly shortly after the beginning of the war, and with a few Interruptions the most notable oc curring during the business slump of 1920 and 1921 it continued to rise until the end of 1929, when It reached Its peak. At the end of 1929 a decline set In, and this decline continued practi cally without Interruption until April of 1933, when the cost of living, as measured by the statisticians, started upward again. - The so-called Index of the cost of living has been climbing ever since last April, and Is now at a point 9.8 per cent higher than at the bottom a year ago. OUT LISTEN: In spite of this steady climb for a little over a year, the cost of liv ing, as measured by the statisticians, Is still . 22.2 per cent lower than at the peak at the end of 1929. That gives us something of an Idea of how far the cost of living, sa meas' ured by prices of whst we have to buy, fell after the peak of 1929. CLOTHING is the Item in the cost of living that has risen most since April a year ago, being now 28 per cent higher than then. But It waa clothing that skidded farthest in price in the years follow ing 1929. In spite of the fact that it has risen 28 per cent In the past year, the cost of clothing is still 21.4 per cent below the 1929 peak. HERE are some more figures that are surprising Hetall food prices are next after clothing in rate of Increase since the low point of a year ago, having risen 20 per cent since April of 1933. But In spite or this Increase of one-fifth In the space of a year, re tall food prlcea axe 0 still THIRTY TWO per cent, or approximately a third, below the peak of 1929. They went disastrously low at the bottom, you see. WHY did food prlcea go so low? Many answers might be given, but the one most nearly correct Is that people didn't have the money with which to PAY high food prices. There has been a lot of talk about food over-production, but the real trouble haa been UNDER-CONSUMP-TION of food. WHEN people get back to buying and eating normally, the surplus ot food of which there la so much talk, will disappear pretty quickly. People will get back to buying ana eating normally when their earning power Increases. Nobody starves him self voluntarily except a few cranks who are unduly Impressed by the fsn for sllmncss. RENTS are one Item in the cost of living that have failed to share in the upward movement that began a year ago. Rents are now 1.4 per cent lower than in April, 1033, and are 31.4 per cent below the peak of 1929. As yet, the business recovery that appears now to be definitely under way hasn't reached tte owner of real estate. CorruTiunications Who Are O. G. C. Members? To the Editor: I don't want to run any chance of voting for candidates that aren't op posed to the Good Government Con gress, Incorporated or unincorporated, and all Its works. But I ain't Just sure and I find a lot of my friends and neighbors feet the same way. Take this governor race, for example. and the circuit Judge race I hear one of these Grants Pass candidates Is against the Fehl crowd which la It? And the county Judge la Mrs. Fehl the O. G. C. candidate, or Isn't she. and where does Conger come In? And this sheriff mlxup have you told us who Is the Oood Government's man there? I think you would help a lot of people, who didn't take much part In the mess around here, but sure don't want to have anything like It happen again. D. O. RYAN. Willow Creek, May IS. ' Ed. Note: The Good Government Congress ticket has been printed sev eral times In this newspaper. For the offices mentioned the Good Gov ernment candidates are as follows: For Governor Rufus Holman. . Por Circuit Judge A. C. Hough ot Grants Pass. For Sheriff Amos Wslker. For County judge H. E. Conger. The Good Government Congress hss opposed Mrs. Fehl, but a vote for the latter of course will be Inter preted throughout the state aa an endorsement of the Fehl policies, when he was so strongly supported by that organization. Conger for Sales Tax and Replies to Mr. Bllllnci To the Editor: Warranted Indebted ness April 1, 1934, Two hundred and forty thousand dollais. Taxpayers unable to pay. A high priced engineer doing work which ahould be done by the county court. Mr. Billings Is opposed, to economy, and audits. How well the taxpayers know It. In regard to the Sales Tax, I thought everybody knew how I stood. I am In favor of anything that looks like property tax relief. H. E. CONGER. Medford, R. F. D. 2, May 18. To the Editor: In The Mall Tribune of last Sunday. I saw the statement that I had signed as one of the pioneers who had lived in Oregon for 60 years. This Is a mis take. I have never claimed to be a pioneer of Oregon, but do claim to be a pioneer of the west. In 1867 I crossed the plains as a "bull whacker" with the freighting outfit of Russell, Majors and Waddell. We were nearly 6 months on the road from -Omaha to Salt Lake City. There I heard such glowing accounts of the Rogue River valley I contemplated coming here, but went to Nevada instead. My first visit to Oregon was In 1894. Since then : have visited here several times. I came to Jacksonville to live In 1923. My wife and I are heartily In accord with the Diamond Jubilee and will do all we can for Its success. LEM T. WILSON, Jacksonville, May 16. A. W. Pipes Opposes Mileage To the Editor: In your editorial of the May 14th issue, under the cap- lion "Judge Day's Mileage" you state among other thlnga that had Judge Day failed to charge against the county his gasoline mileage he would nave been guilty of violation of the "corrupt practices act." I understand that this controversy has arisen over Judge Day charging to the county his gasoline mileage- In his dally trips from his ranch to Medford and home again. No one of course would ques tion his right to charge mileage ex pense in the actual performance of county duties. The law covering the matter or expense of county judges is loosely enough written so that there can perhaps be no question about the strict legality or this charge. But don't you think that ir It had been the" Intention of the legislature that enacted this law to provide transportation to and from his home of the county Judge that It would have Included all county officials who happen to live In the country and not have discriminated In favor of the county Judge? Would not the county clerk or the county treasurer or the county Janitor be aa much entitled to this? Your state ment that If Judge Day failed to charge this Item of expense to -the county he would be guilty of viola tion of the corrupt practices act, la in my opinion 100 percent political talk and not a statement of fact. This sort of policy In public affalra to get all the traffic will bear and then add a little for good measure. when promulgated by a county offi cial and condoned and defended by cne Man Tribune is making the bat tle against the Fehl brand of politics a harder one to combat, and supplies tne material for the continuous harping about the "gang". Don't you oeiieve a would be the proper and patriotic thing In these perilous times if all public officials would de clde controverslsl matters In favor or the tax payer and not In favor of selfish Interests? A. W. PIPES. Medford, May 16th. Ed. Note: The law provides that the county Judge and county com missioners should receive mileage for transportation to and rrom meetings or the county court. The commis sioners have always accepted such mileage and do today. Should the county Judge, whose position and re sponsibility Is even more Important, be discriminated against In this di rection? It la only this mileage on official county business that haa been taken. Isn't It to the Interest of the taxpayers, that efficient ser vice be secured? But how can this be done, if the law Is disregarded, and the field practically limited to those who are either rich or happen to live at the county seat? We fall to see any analogy between the posi tions of county Judge, and court house Janitor. MARTIN TO BROADCAST ON HOOKUP THURSDAY PORTLAND. Ore.. May 16. (Spl.)
