Up until laat Friday, the brightest gem of Jackson county loglo waa: "Of course, I know they're lying, but I'm tired of believing the Truth." Now a brighter pearl of wisdom has been confessed by a gent, who has recovered from his transitory fooled and proud of tt mania. Saya he: "I voted for him, bocause he made ao many promises, I couldn't see how he could get out of keeping some of them." The cltlaen ao admittedly weary of the Truth, la now auper-cautloua about everything he hears. The other has lost faith In promises. The above haa nothing to do with anything In particular, except to show what plain hard thinking can pro duce, In the way of argumenta that cannot be answered. LADIES OF TUG JURY.

Bulletin) ' Phone MJ. We'll baui away your refuse). City Sanitary Service, J"Ar w How Powerful Is F. D. R. ? GENE HOWE, editor of the Amarillo (Texas) Globe-Democrat, gets on the front page today, with the startling an nouncement that one man eontrols the political destinies of this country. This one man is President Roosevelt. The president hag 49 advisers, but they are only advisers. When the time comes for action, it is only the president, who acts. "President Roosevelt" declares the Texas editor, "stands next to Mussolini arftl Lenin, and ABOVE Stalin and Hitler, in having complete mastery of a nation," , Now that sounds well, but it ISN'T true. Stalin and Hitler are heads of absolute dictatorships, backed up by force, and neither the people of Germany, nor the people of Russia, have anything to say about what these dictatorships choose to do. 1 In both countries the press is under absolute government control, and only prints what the dictatorship first sanctions. In both countries the courts are powerless to overrule any edict of the powers that be. In both countries the ballot box has either disappeared or merely become the tool of the dictatorship. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has great power, and unquestion- ably dominates his administration. But the supreme court of the United States could overthrow his "New Deal'' tomorrow, and may do so. Such constitutional authorities as Congress man Beck, and Senator Borah think it will. Some time ago President Roosevelt asked the "congress to give bira power over the tariff. He believes this power essential to the revival of foreign trade. Does anyone imagine if Hitler or Stalin desired such author ity, either would wait a month or more to get it T They might not even take the trouble to sign be assumed at once. , But President Roosevelt is still waiting for favorable con gressional action. The chances are he will win it, but there is nothing CERTAIN about it. He may lose this action, as he lost his effort to veto the federal raise-in-pay measure. IN the fall a congressional election will be held. President Roosevelt naturally will wish candidates friendly to his ad ministration, elected; and those hostile to him, defeated. But will his wish be carried doubtful if he will consider it politically expedient to throw hiB influence behind any single candidate particularly as his con tinued success depends upon Progressive Republican support. The issue can only be decided in their exercise of the secret ballots. In Germany those opposed to the Hitler regime, can't get within six mills of a ballot box. How FOOLISH then to maintain, that President Roosevelt is more completely the political master of this country than Stalin or Hitler I THE Constitution grants the president great powers, and the eoonomio crisis, rosulted in material increases IN those powers. , But this was only because the people of the country as a whole WANTED this, because they were behind him, and still are.-. '-'' ! - . , ; i Onoe let this popular support wane, once let the legislative, or the judicial branch of the government suspect that the people are no longer; bohind their president, and watch what Editor Howe chooses to call a "porsonul dictatorship" TUMBLE! The head of the Amerioan government today has great pow er, but only by the CONSENT of the governed. Roosevelt is one of the outstanding figures of the world, but only because through his courage, decisiveness and true leadership, he has .convinced the people, that their destinies should REMAIN in his hands. In short the PEOPLE of this Democracy still rule. And when Editor Howe (or anyone else) olaims they DON'T rule here, any more than they do in Russia or Germany, he is simply talk ing through his hat I (Cuntlnuea irom Page One) The answer is he Is running In a normally Republican district, which, however, now la supposed to Include considerable new deal sentiment. There seems to be a better chance for oil legislation before adjourn ment The experts in that line agree legislation la necessary to save the code, now that the test violation case has gone over until fall in the su preme court. Ogden Mills la the only Republican outside of congress who Is attracting any national attention, but liberals within the party are dead set against him for any position. There is a group of Democratic senators In the amen corner of the senate, who call themselves "the com mon people." They organised spon taneously and frequently consult each other on voting. Included In the group of ten or twelve are Bone, Bilow, Krlckson, Long, Pope and Wheeler. The liberals are telling a fictitious story about a man who had a splendid plan for co-ordinating NRA, AAA, etc., and took It to the White House. Mr. Roosevelt thought It waa treat, but added: ! would have to get an angei to administer It, and I am afraid none of them have had enough busi ness experience." Holman to shrine Meet SALEM. May 3S.

Always re minds me of the Old Sore Week I planned and pulled off when I was young at this business, I discovered and drove to good doctors, that Is, family practi tioners, an as touusning number of poor geeks who were handicapped by chronlo leg ul cers which had resisted half a dozen brands of salve and hence were ac cepted as "Incurable." The truth Is that any such ulcer will heal readily If Intelligently treated, exept only the occasional one where cancers;: degeneration has developed. Many of these men had suffered more or less for 20 years, and their ulcers healed In a few weeks of good medical care. Of course no salve or other magic remedy will work a miracle. That's the first lesson these misguided souls have to learn. Indeed in many cases It is half the battle. I think a dlctor licensed to practice medicine ahould be licensed at the same time to bash over the head patients with peculiar obsessions about "healing" salves and queer prejudices against the blessings of modern surgery. It would help a lot In the cure. These thoughts come when I inspect the specimens In the average medicine cupboard. In our own cupboard you notice we have Just two salves and I'm not at all sure one would not be quite enough. However, besides or Doc Salve, the formula of which has al ready been given, there Is s tube of Petrolatum, or as they call It In England, soft paraffin; in the UnltJd States It Is sold under -various trade names. Petrolatum is the official name for It. It may be Just a fancy, but when I have a sunburn, a bite, a tender sore or cut or abrasion, I find myself choosing 'Ol Doc Salve and not Petro latum. Onoe in a while "Ol Doc Salve la a bit muasy, and then one falls back on plain Petrolatum. Remember that whichever salve or ointment you elect to use for such emergencies, It should come from a collapsible tube and not from an open Jar or box, unless you go to the j trouble of boiling or steam sterilizing the whole box before you use It. Salve In a collapsible tube remains uncontamlnated and practically ster ile until the tube Is emptied. Aside from -the soothing effect a salve or ointment may have locally.

Healing Is a natural process, and under the most favorable condi tions It goes on at a certain rate. One can retard It by unwise Inter ference and by Injurious applications, but one can't speed up the healing process In the slightest degree. Aside from soothing uncomfortable burning, smarting or hurting, a salve can only serve to protect the lesion against injurious contacts and to pro tect the raw surface against adhering to dressings which may be necessary As we have already pointed out, many popular salves are Injurious and definitely retard or delay the healing of any wound or burn or raw surface. Some nostrums touted as "healing," "antiseptic" and the like are positively dangerous where ap plied to a raw suriace of any con. slderable extent. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS . Why Males Are Not So Warm. Prom general observation I have gained the Impression that women can stand the cold better than men can. At swimming parties I notice the males are usually first to suggest leaving the water. Ia there any basis for this? W. H. Answer The feminine pannlculus or layer of subcutaneous fat Is thicker and a better insulator against cold than Is the masculine. But the sexes are approaching each other more and more, and It won't be long now till they'll emerge from the water In an indistinguishable state. The females are still suffering from the effects of the great reducing epidemic, and the males are Just riding around and sub stituting golf for exercise. Formerly I Insisted on my correspondents ac knowledging some sex by having a name or handle, but that test is not so good any more. Predetermine Sex. Can a physician when examining a party (see answer to W. H. above) six months in the family way tell what sex the ohlld is going to be? Mrs 1. W. Answer Prospective motherhood Is not a party, though it Is no calamity either. No one can predict the sex of the unborn child. However, the chances are 50-50 that It will be a girl, or a boy tt you prefer. Unbidden Guests.

GOVERNMENT figures Indicate ft V very small wheat crop this year. So the price of wheat la going up rapidly. Chicago. U predicting dollar wheat within ft few weeks, nEFORE we become too greatly ex- U cited, let's remember that the government's figures Indicated ft very small potato crop last summer and fall, and as a result, the price of pota toes went up sharply. But 'when the crop waa all out of the ground and In sight, It turned out that there was really plenty of pota toes and so the price went down. It la still down a long way down. GOVERNMENT la great stuff. We Just simply have to have It couldn't possibly get along without It, and don't want to try. , But about every time the govern ment puts Us finger Into agriculture, somebody gets hurt. r; PEAKING further of potatoes. The kJ Dallea Chronicle has ft tale of woe. It aays: "A gradual decline In the consump tion of potatoes Is reported by the department of agriculture for the last decade. This may be due, in part. to the depression, which decreased ability to buy, but the more general supposition is that the fad for slim figures has caused many people to drop potatoes from their diet. "Unless styles again favor the pleas ingly plump, potato growers of the United States will have to reconcile themselves to a gradually narrowing market.' AH, we don't know. J Down here in the potato country we're more resourceful. We don't let a little thing like a fad get us down. If one fad seems to be giving us the razz, we go out and find another one that Is more friendly. SUPPOSE the slim figure cranks DO turn thumbs down on the luscious and curve -building potato. What of It? There are other faddists, you know. fHERE are the acid stomach boys, l for Instance, who maintain that about all the evils flesh Is heir to, from housemaid's knee to Inability to pay the rent, are due to too much acid In the system. And too much acid In the system, you know, If you know anything at all, is caused by all those foods we LIKE TO EAT such as thick, Juicy beefsteaks. WHERE does the potato come In? Right here: The food sharps, or at least one school of them, have figured It out that a baked potato takes the excess and EXCEEDINGLY HARMFUL acid out of your system and converts It Into soothing and beneficial alka linity, curling your hair, putting the roses Into your cheeks and oauslng you to cavort like a playful colt. YUST AS SOON as this useful knowl- O edge gets spread around, any shrinkage In potato consumption that may have been caused by the fears of those whose ambition Is to look like a match will be much more than offset by those who yearn to get for ever away from the Ilia that follow in the wake of an acid stomach. So, If you have any potato land, DON'T sell it. Communications Voters Are Thanked.

WALTER OLMSCHEID, Sheriff's Office. Medford, May 33. Vegetable Growers Face Ruination To the Editor: Curtailment of the movement of produce and garden products have hit a new "low" In the Rogue River valley this season. Lesa production and Inadequate facilities for trans portation to adjacent markets has reduced the Income to fruit and vcg. stable growers from one-half to two thirds, according to those who have engaged In the marketing of these products during the past ten yeArs. Even now, when products are ready for movement, facilities are cut off summarily and heedlessly. Just yes terday one trucker who had fought for the right to hsul produce to Klsmath Falls from the valley had his P. U. O. permit taken from him by order of the public utility com mission through the state police. This particular driver had halt a load on his truck when the permit was taken from htm by the police. A Worn Out Battery or Generator may ruin that vacation trip. 8EVERI.N Battery Herv. Thone 390 1323 N. Riverside Be had 360 crates of atrawberrles that were picked and contracted for, besides considerable vegetables sold for delivery In Klamath Falls the following morning. Only threats of holding the public utility commis sion responsible for his loss brought a wire from Superintendent Hauser of motor transportation permitting him to make that one trip. Careful scrutiny of the case finds an Inconsequential technicality the only apparent reason for the annul ment of the permit. This Is an out rage on the farmer and gardener as well as the business Interests of this valley. Truckers of all classes, with few exceptions, have been doing all possible to live up to the new "motor transportation act" passed last year by our legislature. This la being done, too, despite the fact that In every line of motor transportation hardships and taxes make it prohibitive for many to op erate at all, thus depriving the state of Oregon of much needed revenue. Deprived of revenue because every mile a vehicle travels, whether car or truck, there la Juat that much more added to the revenue of the state aa gas tax Is now S cent, per gallon, b cents to the state and 1 cent to the federal government. In addition, the atate geta from 60 cents to (1 per hundredweight on each truck operated, plus a per. mit fee of 3.50, plus Vt mill to 1 mill per ton mile each truck travels baaed on the weight of the truck and maximum load. Thta latter tax a privilege tax la piled on the combined weight even If the truck Is empty. Two permits to private carriers were ordered cancelled laat week, who are engaged In purchasing produce In this valley and hauling to out side points. No reason given other than they were supposed to have giv. en notice of a "hearing," which no tice was not received by either. These are special instances of which the writer haa positive knowledge, Thousands of dollars' worth of ber ries and garden truck will never find a market if this Is not rectified. With the license of $100 required by the produce and dealera' law to buyers of produce, together with the un heard of tax on truck transportation, it looks like the raising of small fruit and garden truck in the Rogue River valley waa pretty well "washed up." An aroused public la the only means adequate to save the growers from ruination. GEO. B. BARTON. Medford, May 23, 1934. Past Potentate Jerome Objects To the Editor: As an ardent reader of your paper for many years and also a great ad mirer of your edltorlala, I feel it my duty to take exception to your edi torial of last night's paper, Thursday, May 23, headed "Welcome to P. E. O." I fully agree with your edito rial In everything you say regarding thta wonderful organization, but aa a member and a past potentate of an organization, aucb aa mentioned in your fifth and sixth paragraphs, I feel It my duty to call your atten tion to some of the facta which you are evidently unaware of. While you did not specially mention the Shrine, I cannot help but feel that the shoe fits, lnasumch as we wear uniforms, stage parades, support bands, and have a good time, etc. All thia la true, but you are overlooking for the fact that the Shrine of North America has been supporting for the last 13 years the greatest humanita rian Institution In the world today: namely, the Shrine Hospital for Crip pled Children. At the present writ ing there are IS of these hospitals In operation and for which Is spent each year more than one mllilon dol lars, same being supplied by every Shrlner In the world, each paying his share towards these Institutions. Each year these magicians of the Red Fee make hundreds of children happy with their magic. They bring laughter and Joy where physical pain and humiliation have been before. They work miracles with the flesh and bonea of little children. There Is no Illusion here, In these Houses of Magic, known as Shrlners' Hos pitals for Crippled Children. Aa a surgeon gently removed the last ban dage, slender, faltering legs were made to near the weight of a little body. Another little boy who had never walked before, clasped his nurse's hand and proudly took hla first step. Another Miracle In a House of Magic. One of the 37,000 since the opening of the first hospital In 1023. To bring this realization closer to home, the little Japanese boy who lives up by Tolo, who saved the Uvea of two from drowning In the Rogue river near Tolo, haa but recentlv been discharged from the Shrine Hos pital for Crippled Children In Port land. If It had not been for the surgical treatment this boy received, he would not have been physically fit to have performed this heroic act. I do feel that the statements msde in your paper were due to Ignorsnce 1 of the facta, and I sincerely hope ; that, In fairness to the Shrine, that you will make the necessary correc tion. I am enclosing for your edifi cation a copy of the latest report on ine nospiiais wnicn will give you some idea of what the Shrine Is really doing.
