A Fine Job,
THHE best thing about Friday's
vote against the Good Government congress I
With' one exception that
every candidate endorsed by this organization, or indirectly con
nected with it, was completely and properly snowed under.
This is as it should be. There is no place in this community
for any organization, with such
record of violence and crime, of
tion ; and all for but one purpose, to gain political control, for
selfish ends.
Those sincere in their desire for better government, should
AT LEAST have had the good sense to have dropped the name
of an organization that was
OVERTHROW of good government.
' As Judge Dunn, the only
said, following his endorsement:
"I am for good government
Government congress I"
This forthright repudiation of an endorsement he never
sought, probably accounted in large measure for the overwhelm
ing vote Senator Dunn received.
For the people of Medford and Jackson county were plainly
out to ELIMINATE this misnamed organization, once and for
all, and not leave enough POLITICALLY to make any second
revival possible.
That has been done.
So now let's FORGET it, let the dead bury the dead, and
let's go on to better and more worth while things.
Why Medford Endorsed
Sales Tax
IF the state had voted as Medford voted on the sales tax, the
measure would have passed, and Oregon's school and finan
cial problems would have been solved.
Why didn't it! Because of local press support! Well this
newspaper and others HELPED, but as we see it, that is not
the entire answer. Other good newspapers in the state, sup
ported the tax vigorously, but in their communities the measure
was snowed under.
Why was Medford the only "white spot" on the entire map?
Well, we have the answer to that, which we believe is the
correct one.
1 Medford and Jackson county
i quality of its citizenship, and its
!XITH 200,000 non-taxpayers
; the measure had from the
was best for the state, AS A WHOLE, should overcome
a spirit of narrow individual self interest.
If majrity of the peple of this 8tate onXy voted f or what
best suited their POCKETBOOKS, the sales tax was beaten
the outset,-for its defeat meant that thousands who had
j escaped taxes would continue to escape tnem, ana uinijX trie
j property owning minority and the schools would benefit.
! Thn niHin service nerformed bv the Mail Tribune was in

WHAT the sales tax meant, the real issues involved. With
this information, the intelligence of this section of the state, was
sufficiently high and the spirit of disinterested devotion to the
state, sufficiently strong, to overcome a blind self interest, and
in a mood of genuine patriotism, put the measure over. That's
the answer to the Medford vote.
THE present writer spent six weeks in California the first of
the year and made a special study of the reaction to the
sales tax in that state. .
We found no one who, from a purely selfish standpoint liked
it, No ono LIKES to pay a few cents extra for what is pur
chased, no merchant LIKES to bother with an excise tax, on
every sale. .
But we also found no one, who objected to it, to the extent
of wishing it repealed. The common answer, from all classes,
was to this effect:
"I don't like It, but look what It's doing for the state. It'a
saved us at a very critical time. And I am for It, aa long aa lt'a
needed."
Garage men, clerks, street car conductors, hotel men, every
type and class was contacted at one time or another, and the
reaction was the same. ' '
NOW we talk a lot about California being just a hot air state,
a crowd of chronic boosters and humdingers, who
olnim tho earth and get away with it.
There IS plenty of that sort of thing down there, and it gives
any sane observer a pain in the neck. But California has some
thing more than that or it never would have accomplished what
it has accomplished.
And that is a sense of state loyalty, of disinterested devo
tion to the welfare of the state as a whole, which is nothing
short of phenomenal I
They may fight over LITTLE things j they may fuss and
fumo over this and that) but when the WELFARE OF CALI
FORNIA IS AT STAKE, when somothing comes up which af
fects the state AS A WHOLE, watch them fall In line and fight
till tho victory has been won.
It was in that spirit that the people of California rassed the
snlcs tax and in spite of tho false charges made during the
recent campaign the TEOPLE DID pass it.
It was that samo spirit that passed the sales tax in this part
of the state, and it was the absence of that spirit, that caused its
overwhelming defeat olsewhere,
Oregon has tremendous natural resources, a fertility and
native beauty that can't be surpassed, throughout the country.
It's truly a great state.
But as a state it still lacks that STATE spirit, that "Oregon
for all, and nil for Oregon'" loyalty which must be aroused and
maintained before it can ever achieve its proper destiny.

THEY'RE NOT ONLY J
A reader sent In this Inquiry:
"I heard on the radio a man talk
lng for the (an aggregation
of quacks) with
offices at (this
and that ad
dress). He spoke
about the non
operative meth
ods of curing
hernia, varicose
veins, hemorr
hoids, etc., and
offered booklets
free to the pub
lic on request, I
have written for
the booklets. Do
you know anything about .this asso
elation? It does not seem that they
would be allowed to broadcast over
the radio If they are not genuine.
I have had (so-and-so) for two
years . .
My reply to this Inquiry was:
I cannot recommend the doc
tor your Inquire about. Dr. (say
Richard Roe, of such and such
address) gives the treatment you
Inquire about.
Later came another letter from the
reader, Inclosing two booklets and
several other cards or circulars set
ting forth all the extraordinary ad
vantages the quack outfit offers gut
llble customers. Among the handbills
these trick specialists peddle I was
astonished to find an article by Wil
liam Brady, M. D.. and article on
The Ambulant Treatment of Hernia"
which appeared In my column on
October 14, J930. This Is reprinted
In the quacks' circular exactly as I
wrote It for my column, EXCEPT
that the version the quacks ascribe
to me. and reprint without my knowl
edge or consent, omits this pertinent
paragraph:
All cases (of hernia, rupture,
breach) In children can be cured.
In fact a well fitting truss con- -stantly
worn will cure most of .
them without further treatment
of any kind. Even In adults a
well fitted truss will cure some
cases. v .
That paragraph, I hoped, would
serve to Impress upon the reader's
mind the Importance Cjf the proper
fitting and wearing of a truss while
the hernia Is under treatment. No
Instrument maker or salesman Is
qualified to fit a truss In any case.
If the patient's own physician pre
scribes or recommends wearing a
truss he should and will if he Is
a capable physician attend person
ally to the selection, fitting and per
iodic adjustment of the supporter.
Without such skilled care, the truss
Is likely to be useless or even harm
ful. Comment
on the
Day 's News.
By FRANK JENKINS
TWO paragraphs In the day's newa
are of more than ordinary In
terest In these days.
Here Is the first:
"A vsst Inland dust storm whirled
across psrehed fields of mid-America
tonight and added Its ravages to that
of a major spring drouth which Is
taking hesvy toll of crops."
a- -
AND here Is tha second para
graph; "Higher milk prices are predicted.
Zooming food costs are feared. La
Salle street (the Chicago grain ex
change la located on La Salle street)
predicted $1 wheat would become a
reality unless the grain-raising mid
west Is relieved of the current drouth
curse within a week."
P"OR many years, the government
' baa been trying to raise prices ot
farm products BY LAW, but hasn't
got very far. As a matter of fact,
In the face of MOST ot these efforts
prices have declined.
But old Mother Nature takes, a
hand In the game ot reducing the
surplus, and Immediately everybody
sits up and takes notice.
Prices react UPWARD, because
buyers have absolute confidence In
Mother Nature's abUlty to reduce the
aurplua If aha aeta about the task.
- -
rr THE paat dozen years or so,
there has been a lot of TRYING
to Interfere with the law of supply
and demand.
The British tried It In tha case of'
rubber, and tailed dlssstrously. Brsall I
tried It In the esse of coffee, and
failed even more dlssstrously. I
We sre trying It now by the process ,
of crop reduction by law, plowing 1
under cotton, killing off pigs and
hiring farmers to keep wheat and
cotton land out of production, but '
In tace of all these efforts prices !
have either stood still or RECEDED. '
Bu
UYERS, you see, haven't much
confidence In raising prices by
process of law, but they have a LOT'
ot confidence tn Nature's ability to
raits them by the process of cutting
down the supply.

Letters should be brief and written In
VACKS, BUT PIRATES
In many Items about the ambul
ant (not ambulatory, for ltis the
patient, not the doctor, who keeps
walking about) treatment of hernia
I have expressly cautioned against
two risks. First, that of the doctor
who Injects some- secret or semi
secret nostrum. If a doctor Is not
capable of preparing and using his
own simple medicine for these in
jections at a cost, of a nickel or
so the chances are he doesn't un
derstand Just what he's trying to
do. 80 I warn everybody to beware
of anyone who pretends to use any
expensive "Imported" or proprietary
formula for the Injection treatment
of hernia or anything else. There is
no legitimate excuse for such dumb'
ness.
The second caution I give the pub
lic Is this: If a doctor Is good he
practices under his own name and
his satisfied patrons send their
friends that's the way a good doc
tor acquires a reputation and builds
a practice.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Difficult Order
Please Inform me what drugs oi
food elements would tend to counter
act any bad effect caused by eating
too much salt, salt-peter or soda.
(H. A. T.)
Answer I know of no such drugs
or food elements. Best way to remedy
such trouble Is to cease eating soda,
salt-peter or much salts.
Registered Nurse Inquires
Reading your statement concerning
the lack of power of absorption
through the skin, I am tempted to
tell of an experience I had. A small
bottle of lodln In my bag spilled on
my nightgown, but having only one
nightgown with me I had to wear
It the first night, even though It
was spotted over with lodln. Next
morning there was not a sign of
lodln stain left in the gown. What
happened? (H. M. M R. N.)
Answer Probably most of the lo
dln evaporated when It was votal-
laed by the heat of the . body, and
some of It combined with starch in
the nightgown to form blue starch
lodld, or with ammonia or with soda
or potash In perspiration or In soap
or other cosmetic or medicinal prep
aration in the environment, to form
white or colorless lodld of sodium,
potassium or ammonium. An Im
mediate application of ammonia wa
ter or aromatic spirits of ammonia
Is the handiest way to remove lodln
stains from cloth or from the skin.
