Vote for Judge Norton!
JUDGE H. D. Norton should not only be renominated tomor
row but by an OVERWHELMING majority. Ho is not only
one of the best circuit court judges Southern Oregon ever has
had, but he is one of the best in the state and by the entire
bar and bench is so regarded. i
Because of his fairness, devotion to duty and refusal to
play politics, regardless of the political pressure brought upon
him, he was made the target of one of the most malicious,
vicious, uncalled for assaults, ever directed against the judic
iary in this district.
As befitted a person in his high calling, he ignored all such
attacks when they merely affected him personally; but when,
not only the integrity of the courts, but the welfare of the
entire community were threatened, he clearly and forcefully
called the attention of the people to the grave dangers that
threatened them.
This action probably more than any other ONE thing,
turned the tide against the forces of violence and destruction,
and finally restored this part of the state to peace and security.
FOB that action alone Judge Norton deserves the overwhelm
ing endorsement of all right thinking people in his judicial
district, and we are confident he will get it.
But there is another reason why he should be given a large
vote. Unless Judge Norton secures a majority of all votes cast
tomorrow, the law compels him to. enter a run off in the fall
election against his nearest competitor. ,
This we suspect is the only reason there are two candidates
from Josephine County. Judge Norton was almost certain to
secure a majority over any sunuuh opponents pur, witn two
of them, his enemies hoped they might prevent this and thus
drag along the judicial campaign five or six months more.
Why prolong such a farce t Why keep the judiciary longer in
politics than it has to bet Why not finish up this job once and
for all NOW.
The way to do that is go to the polls and give Judge Norton
the vote he deserves! Don't take any chances on the ground
he will be elected anyway. Overconfidence and small votes have
cost more elections, than all the depressions in history.
Give him YOUR vote for when the ballots arc counted,
your vote may be the very one he needs! (
Suggestions on Amendments
COUNT? INDEBTEDNESS AND FUNDING BOND CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT Purpose : Requiring two-thirds vote) In counties to
authorise county Indebtedness exceeding 5,000 for rosds: author
izing counties to Issue warrants evidencing liabilities Impoeed by
law and which they are powerless to- prevent: authorizing any
county, upon approval by two-thirds vote of electors voting thereon,
to Issue bonds In amount equal to amount of Its outstanding
warrants December 31, 1033, with Interest thereon to election date,
but not exceeding 314 per oent of assessed valuation of all property
In such county: superseding existing special constitutional debt
funding provisions for Benton, Clackamas, Crook, Curry, Klamath
and Linn counties; but not releasing any existing liabilities.
, This measure merely amends the constitution, allowing the
peoplo of counties, if they wish, to vote bonds to take up war
rant indebtedness. The bill was drawn up and submitted by
both houses of tho state legislature. If the measure passes,
interest charges on tho counties would no doubt be lessened,
and of oourse holders of warrants would be benefitted. It should
be elearly borne in mind, however, that this bill only gives the
counties the POWER to take
havo to vote on the proposition
done.
We realize the strong public
bonding and its justification
should not have the right to do
Vote 300 Yes.
CRIMINAL TRIAL WITHOUT JURY AND NON-UNANIMOUS VERDICT
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Purpose: To provide by consti
tutional amendment that in criminal trials any accused person. In
other than capital cases, and with the consent of the trial Judge,
may elect to waive trial by Jury and consent to be tried by the
Judge of the court alone, such election to be In writing; provided,
however, that In the circuit court ten members of the Jury may
render a verdict of guilty or not guilty, save and except a verdict
of first degree murder, which shall be found only by a unanimous
verdict, and not otherwise.
This is a constructive sicp in the direotion. of making it
harder on tho fcriminal, and evasion of justice by the criminal
more difficult.
Vote 302 Yes.
BILL AUTHORIZING: A STATE TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL IN MULT-
NOMAH COUNTY Purpose : To authorize the location, construction,
operation and maintenance by the state of Oregon of a tuberculosis
hospital In Multnomah county, Oregon, when funds are available
therefor.
This is no time to increase expenses of the state that are
not imperative.

sparkle of dancing wares It had
caught the mood of an especially
chivalrous day. The sombre cliffs
suggested mastiffs watching a frolic

After mile upon mile along the
ribbon roads skirting the sea, we
plunged Into the cool glower of the
cowling canyons. Here Nature crink

frowns. One thinks of barons of the
roads, lances In the moonlight and
creatures that prowl.
Los Angeles, after a four-year ab
sence, shows fewer depression scars
than New York or large cities along
the way. At least empty buildings
are not so apparent. It has a leg-up
the others because It has no
sordid exhaustive winters through
which to battle.
Incidentally, the only red-headed

Answer I assure you that whoever
told you so was talking through his
hat. Before you become too deeply
interested In what any self-styled
food expert or diet or freak healer
tries to make you believe about that,
you should get a textbook of physi
ology and try to learn something
about the normal reactions. Then
you won't be so gullible. I suggest
that you inquire at the public library
for any of the following books:
Howell' "Textbook of physiology.
McCollum & Sim Blonds' "Food, Nu
trition and Health."
Hawk's "What We Eat and What
Happens to It."
Mottram's "Physiology."
Sherman's "Chemistry of Food."
What you Don't Know Will Not Worry
You.

To the Editor:
A Critical Relief Problem.
There exists a condition here which
Is more or leas national or universal
and which needs the concentration
of the impartial, humane, and un
biased thoughts of the thinkers
(otherwise the doers) of our local
community; namely: What about the
unmarried man or woman, the one
whose wife or husband has left him,
or the one who has survived wife,
husband, family, and children?
In the present codes of national,
federal, and local relief there are no
provisions made for the relief of such
men or women. And the Individual
whose worldly assets are nil at the
moment, owing to bad Judgment or
(as per insull) stress ot the times,
who Is left entirely without any
moral aid or support?
What Is to be done for his relief?
Many of these people are, or have
been, taxpayers and voters of Jack
son county. Are the good, honest.
Just and upright-thinking of this
(Jackson county) community going
to' overlook an outstanding fact and
say, "Be ye warmed and filled, not
withstanding ye give them not those
things which are needful to the
body?.!'

To the Editor:
In the issue of the Oregon Grange
Bulletin for May 20, already out, Ray
W. GUI, state master, says:
"The fanner who Is striving for
better returns on his products,
by selling at retail, is penalized
by the sales tax, tor he must col
lect the sales tax just like any
other business. Sales tax speakers
tell him he can sell up to $50.00
per month without paying a sales
tax. In actual practice he cannot
do that. He must collect on all
of his sales to be sure of passing
on the tax, for retail farm sales
are generally in small amounts.
He must collect as he sella or he
la likely to find that he cannot
recover the tax unless he collects
on all the taxable sales."
Compare this statement above, with
sec. 5, paragraph E, of the law, as
printed In the voters' pamphlet.
which exempts the first (50 on the
sales of all retailers.
State Grange Master Gill Is either
deliberately endeavoring to deceive
the farmers, or he cannot read. I am

At the time of the turmoil I saw

Naturally he will take any vote that
comes his way, but he Is not the kind
of man who would, In the least, throw
any favors to the G. G. C. because of
their voting for him.

THE SO.VG OF THE CANDIDATE
Ladles and gentlemen, listen to me,
I want to tell you how It will be,
When I'm elected.

At the harvest we all will reap,
When I'm elected.

And cars will run without any gas,
When I'm elected.
Schools? There'll be a teacher for
every kid,
And every contractor will get a bid.
When I'm elected.
There'll be two Jobs for every soul,
And nary a merchant will be In the
hole.
When I'm elected.
Gangsters? Those that don't In terror
flee
Will hang themselves on a cotton
wood tree.
When I'm elected.
Laws? Why, we'll Just add two or
three
Or subtract 'em all, don't matter to
me,
When I'm elected.
We'll raise a fund to build a hall
Where visiting celebrities may come
. snd call,
When I'm elected.
Or we'll Just finance a trip to Mars.
Where our good bretheran may court
tne stars,
When I'm elected.
Do I In some eyes see a doubt;
Then vote for me and you'll soon
una out,
When I'm elected.
That any old thing can be done.
Doing to me Is so much fun,
When I'm elected.
Kow, folks, you know me, I never He.
All this will happen In the by and by.
wnen i m elected.
