Dunne and a Sales Tax fNE ot Medford 'i leading Republicani who ii supporting Joe Dunne for Governor is also supporting the 20-mill tax limitation measure. Ia explaining his support of the latter measure, the gentle man in question stated s "X beltev, thla the only way to reduci tax., and icur thf sslea tax. It must be. dona. Thera la no other way. If taxee are cut FIRST, the next session of the legislature will be faced by the necessity of raising revenue to keep our achoola open, and our county governments functioning. There will be nothing to do but pass another sales tax. So I am going to vote for the 20 mill tax limitation." But he is also going to vote for a Governor who has repeated ly stated that if the legislature passes another sales tax HE WILL VETO IT! We agree the next legislature might try to ale for the third time, if this tax limitation measure should carry. But to pass such a tax over a Governor's veto, simply can't be done. In view of the deep seated prejudice against such a tax in this state, it would be hard enough to pass such a tax without a veto. 'With a veto, the measure would never be reported oiit. SO where would our friend be then! Certainly out on a limb. He would have a lower tax levy, but he would have no schools, he would have no court house, he would probably have no fire or police protection certainly nothing adequate along this line. The ship of state would be wrecked without a life line. Mr. Dunne is the only gubernatorial candidate pledged to veto a sales tax, if the representatives of the people should agaiu decide such a tax is the only hope of having the state from disaster. Certainly anyone who feels about the tax situation and the sales tax as the aforementioned citizen is, in voting for Joe Dunne, throwing -away his vote for tax reduction through a sales tax.

They should retort: "A vote for Zimmerman is a tow ior Zimmerman, unless there Is monkey business In the counting." It would probably b unconstitu tional, but Instead ot giving all per sons over 60 years of age S300 per; month, give them a slot machine, with sole rights to the profits.

The Brat Bolshvlkla, of which every campus seems to have a few. have burst forth at the University of California at Los Angeles. They are a type bred by the depression, and suffering from a delusion they are Communists. Nobody blames a cltl een, who through no fault of his own. has been crushed by capitalistic greed through the years, from har boring Communistic thoughts. It is different with a smart-sleek youth, who desires to tear the established form of government apart the first time he gets 100 miles from home, and feels he Is abused because the mail failed to bring a letter from his girl for two whole days. It waa the Intention of the taxpayers, when they pungled up the money for the schools of higher education, and their parents, when they made sacrifices to send them there, thst they ac quire knowledge, and not spend their time thinking up ways to raise fancy hell. The nation ran get Its quota of half-baked agttators without send ing them to college. It used to be a custom at "Old Oregon" to spank upstarts who violated traditions, but was abolished as "undignified." It should be revived. It might not do the Campus Communists any good, but It most certainly would not do them any harm. Alaska coast line la longer than that of the United States TIIlS paper's opposition to the 20-mill limitation measure, is based upon its conviction that this is attacking the tax problem from the wrong angle. It is putting the cart before the horse. It is burning down the barn to get rid of the rats. We don't deny, for a moment, that property taxes MUST, in someway be reduced. But we DO deny that the state must be wrecked first to convince the people that this is the fact. Con ditions are bad but we can't believe they are as bad as that. The sane and sensible way to solve this taxation crisis, is to in some fashion provide revenue to relieve the property tax, BEFORE we arbitrarily reduce it, rather than AFTER. This is particularly true in view of the wide spread popular prejudice against any form of sales tax. It seems to us the height of folly to place this state in a position where ONLY a snlrs tax can save U; without having stronger assurance than can now be obtained, that even in such an emergency, a Rales tax can EVER be passed 1 Think It Over TPHE Roosevelt honeymoon has long since passed. The unanim- ity of support the president once enjoyed, long ago depart ed. An "off year" campaign is on, and for many weeks now tho administration and the New Deal have been subjected to a withering fire from the opposition. The day after election, the people of this country will scan their papers eagerly to see how the various states voted. Did they vote for or ngninst Roosevelt, did they vote to give or not give tho president a chance to carry out his New Deal program! How do you want Oregon to be classified Mr.' and Mrs. Voter! How do you wish to be classified yourself! For or ngninst Roosevelt and the principles he represents! Think that over before you mark your ballot next Tuesday. The eyes of the nntion will be on Oregon on the 6th of Novem ber. And the result in the governorship race will be taken as the criterion. . ENER.Uj Martin is not only a close personal friend of tho president's, but as congressman took an active part in the formation of his policies. The general has made the New Deal tho chief plunk in his platform, willing to stand or fall, on that issue, and that issue alone. Where Joe Dunne stands on the New Deal no one knows, not even himself. But niake no mistake about THIS: IP JOE DUNNE IS ELECTED, IT WILL BE BROADCAST, FAR AND WIDE, BT EVERT RE ACTION ART POLITICIAN AND INTEREST IN THE LAND, AS A BODY BLOW FOR THE PRESIDENT AND THE NEW DEAL. Oregon will be placed irrevocably in the anti-Roosevelt column. President Roosevelt will conclude he can no longer count on the whole hearted support of the people of this state. Is that what you want! If it is, vote for Joe Dunne. If it ISN'T, vote for Congressman Martin. This isn't the most important issue in the campaign. The most important, issue is the fitness of the candidate for the job. But this titration of supporting or repudiating the Roosevelt sdministration. certainlv deserves careful consideration. ! A vote for Martin not only means n vote for the man BEST QUALIFIED to be Governor, but it means a vote to uphold the hands of President Roosevelt as he reaches the critical half-way mark in his administration. Whenever I sustain a particularly hard crack I look up at tha portrait of tha beloved T. R. and pretty soon I'm ready to to fight back. Whenever I get a testimonial I look at another portrait over my work bench and wonder, lilts one la John J. Coin cidence. John's only comment la generally some thing akin to a Bronx cheer. A testimonial really Isn't worth a hoot ao far as proving anything la concerned. But I'm printing thla one today for a purpose. I hope to get tha attention of many readers who have taken cal cium lactate for one thing or an other, and I hope they wilt tell me what their experience with the medi cine has been. In the course of the years I have suggested thla harmless remedy for alt sorts of troubles, as It might seem to the uninitiated, but always there has been reason behind It. Some of the conditions are hyperesthetlc rhinitis that's really a highbrow and exclusive malady and you com mon folk need not bother about It asthma, hay fever, migraine, hives, angioneurotic edema that's another rather swanky complaint- which, In ordinary language. Is known as giant hives. Then I blush to find from flipping over the files, that I have recommended calcium lactate for food sensitization and even for rheu matism. That is. of course I didn't suggest It for rheumatism myself, for If I did some bright reader might Immediately ask how come I admit there Is such a thing as rheumatism. I Just quoted a report of a physician In Germany who praised calcium lac tate as fine for neuritis, neuralgia, rheumatism 'n' everything. The testimonial comes from a woman reader: "Wrote several months ago and told you I was treating my hus band for what physicians called hay fever and asthma, with cod liver oil. iodln and calcium lac tate. I ht?e kept this treatment up nearly two years now. Where he used to have an attack every week, lasting for three or four days, the Interval stretched out to two weeks and then a month, with the attacks lasting only a day. Now I begin to hope he Is cured, for It Is nearly three months since his last attack and that was a very light one." That reminds me. I have suggested that the assimilation of calcium is promoted by a dally ration of cod ver oil. oh, say, a tablerpoonful dally, and also by dally exposure of the naked skin to sunlight. So far all scientific observation supports me. But now It Is Just my notion, for which I have no scientific sup port, that a suitable lodln ration also promotes the utilization of the calcium, and for a child or an adult a suitable lodln ration, still In my opinion merely, Is one drop of tinc ture of lodln in a drink of water for a month In each of the four seasons of the year say the month, of No vember, February, May and August. Or If you prefer take a drop twice a week the year around. We are only Just beginning to learn about the metabolism of cal cium. There Is considerable evidence that ductless gland functions, par ticularly the parathyroid gland, con trol or regulate the calcium meta bolism, and there Is also some evi dence that certain vltamlna In turn Influence the functional activity of ductless glands. It Is all pretty com plicated, and If I were you I'd Just take the calcium lactate for a while and get plenty of sunshine and greens- and fresh vegetables and see what comes of It. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Stunned. When I saw an automobile hit a pedestrian I was so stunned and shocked I didn't know what to do for the victim. Please tell me Just how to act In such emergencies, or direct me to a source. (H. N.)

When I tried to get the vitamin and mineral preparation you recom mended, our druggist said he had it but It was Just a passing fad and he could not sell It to me . . (Mrs. I. p.)

Sore leg. one of the big blood veins burst 14 years ago before my first son was born. The leg Is not open but a dark blue, place causes constant pain, and the pain Increas es when I am on my feet long. . . . (Mrs. L. A. H.) Answer When patients say the vein "burst" they mean It became dilated, enlarged, not that there was a rupture and bleeding. That never happens. When they, say the leg Is not "open" they mean there is no raw surface, no ulcer. Ulcer is com mon as a consequence of varicose vein. The remedy In sue a case la obliteration of the vein by chemical Injection which any good doctor can do. In any case of varicose vein, with or without varicose ulcer, the patient should endeavor to lie down for a minute every hour and raise the legs to vertical and gently exer cise toes and feet aa tho Juggling an Imaginary balloon.

Ye Poet's Cornei LOVE'S DESTINY Live on, brave knight, live on! And keep thy heart fires burning. For love hath ever yet held sway, When lived In true heart yearning. What matter If thy barque should drift Across a seeming gulf deep and wide? There is no depth, nor height, can .hold Love's spirit, ever from thy side. E'en aa water finds Its downward way Through chasms deep, or rocky gorae; So love, with true hearts will find a way To weld her circle In love's forge Yet, wilt thou find the hidden way. Where true hearts part - and meet again. - So let love fires purge they very soul, Until the ways of destiny may ex plain. By Mary O. Carey. 4 Better clothes for less.

This simple experiment has often meant a changed child, mothers A test that is easily made, and should be made, when children are occasionally upset or constipated. Doctors urge a Ihiid laxative for children. Tne child who has been convalescing in a hospital, will usually come out with bowels working like a well-resulated watch. Hospitals give children a liquid laxative of suitable ingre dients, suitable strength, and in suitable amount. Children should never be given the strong cathartics that are meant for adult use. So, avoid all use of mineral drugs, whether they are salts, pills, tablets, or "candy-' form. Even once a month is too often to give any child a cathartic containing powerful drugs. Th Propor Treatment Give that sluggish child a liquid laxative containing senna (a natural laxative). California Syrup of Figs has the right amount for children's use, and this rich, fruity syrup does not upset them. Just give any headachy, bilious child a little of this gentle laxative when constipated, and n lilllt. lt$s (t dose u rtpratrd until bowels seem to he moving regularlv and thoroughly without need of help. When vou change to California Syrup of 1'igs instead of harsh medicines, you'll risk no more violence to your child's appetite, digestion, and general physical condition. You'll have a safer, more satisfactory result, too. So, get a bottle of California Syrup of Figs from your druggist, and start tonight, if your child is constipated, giving a good, cleans ing dose. Repeat as necessary, giving a little less each time. That s the secret of this treatment gradually reduced dosage. Here is a simple wav of finding out if any youngster with irregular or insufficient bowel movements is in need of relief, or getting the wrong treatment: THE "LIQUID TEST" This is the way to relieve occa sional sluggishness, or constipa tion in a child of any age: First: select a liquid laxative of the proper strength for children. Second: give the dose suited to the child's age, and condition. Third: reduce the dose, if repeated, until the bowels are moving with out any help at all. An ideal laxative for this pur pose is California Syrup of Figs which every druggist keeps in stock. Be certain that it is the gen uine product, with "California" blown in the bottle. f M Romance Humor Drama Action!
