MR A,
S. Oregon Should Have It
IF, and when, a vacancy on the state highway commission
occurs, Southern Oregon should have it.
It is many years since this section of the state has been
represented on this important body.
Yet not only was Jackson county the pioneer county in the
state for good roads constructing the first section of the Pacific
Highway at its own expense but it has more than any other
district, a vital concern in new highway construction.
FOR a place on the highway commission when a vacancy
occurs, the name of F. L. Tou Velle of Jacksonville has been
frequently mentioned.
Among the local men qualified for such a position, and also
AVAILABLE, the Mail Tribune regards Mr. Tou Velle, as Num
ben 1 on the list.
Public spirited, capable, kindly yet firm; our former county
judge knows road construction, is thoroughly familiar with local
highway problems; and at the same time has a clear understand
ing of the needs of the state. .
While a loyal Democrat and enthusiastic supporter of Gov
ernor Martin, Judge Tou Velle is not, and never has been, a
radical partisan; is broad minded and tolerant in every way;
and his appointment, we feel sure, would meet with the enthusi"
astic approval of the people of Southern Oregon as a whole,
REGARDLESS of politics.
IF Jackson county is to get a place on the highway commission,
now is the time to stnrt. A Tou Velle movement has'already
been launched. We feci it decidedly to the hest interests of
this section of the state, that the community as a whole, get
behind our former county judge NOW, and make every effort
to secure favorable action from the powers that be.
We have no inside information concerning the matter. Just
when a vacancy on the commission will occur, or if any WILL
occur, we don't know.
But if and when such a vacancy DOES occur, we do feel
Southern Oregon is entitled to it, and Judge Tou Velle is the
man for the job.
Abusing the Recall
TPIIK peculiarly fumiticiil fjmility of ome Townsend support
er.s, is strikingly demonstrated in the proposed recall of
Representative Howard Merriam of Lane county.
More than the required number of signatures for such a
recall have been secured, 35-15 names to be exact. But the
reeallelection can't he held, until after the legislature has nd
journed ; and unless a special session is called, until after Merri
am's term has EXHRED.
So, for all practical purposes the Lane county representative
can't he recalled. If the recall carries, it will be merely an
ex post facto gesture. Mr. Mcrriam's status will be unchanged,
only his wrist " ill be slapped.
But that is what the aroused Townsend supporters appar
ently propose to do. The action will cost the taxpayers of Lane
county, tour or five thousand dollars, will throw their commu
nities into bitter strife and turmoil, and at best or worst,---will
only deprive the victim, of something he probably will be happy
to relinquish.
AND nil for what, f
Well as far as we can determine, for nothing but th-j
refusal Of Mr. Merriam to play the hypocrite and whoop it up
like a swirling dervish for tbe Townsend Old Age Pension plan.
.The Lane county representative did not oppose the plan. He
did not promise to support it, and,. then prove false. He not
only worked to get a favorable resolution presented, but voted
for it. True the legislature endorsed the Townsend plan OR
some other acceptable old age pension plan, but this was as
much as anyone could have secured in tbe present session.
And yet the Townxcndites of Lane county demand the poor
man's scalp.
Too bad. Too bad for Lnnc county and too bad for the
Townsend plan. For fanaticism and frenzies of this sort help
no worthy cause. They arc inevitably followed by reactions,
and loss of public favor.
Kven if the recall succeeds, its inherent injustice will be
recognized when more time has passed and cooler counsels
prevail.
And the net result in Lane county at least, will injure rather
than benefit the cause of old age pensions.

Bt'GAR IS SUGAR, WH
One popular misapprehension which
seema to be dying out Is that honey
ts somehow more suitable than other
sweets or sugars
for persona who
have diabetes.
There Is no
ground for this
notion. One with
diabetes can as
similate cane
augar syrup or
molaasea or corn
syrup or glucose
quite as well as
he can honey.
Cane sugar is
sucrose. Milk
sugar Is lactoee.
Malt sugar la maltose. Grape augar
la glucose or dextrose. Sweet corn.
onions and unripe potatoes also con
tain glucose. Another name for fruc
tose Is levulose. Levuloae Is com
monly associated with glucoae in
plant Juices, frulta and especially In
honey. Honey generally contains one
fifth water and four-fifths sugar,
and the augar of honey cons lata of
about equal parts of glucose and
fructose (levulose), with a small
amount of sucrose (cane sugar)
aometlmea. Honey haa been used for
awectenlng medicines from th ear
liest times. That lingering tradition
la the only reason for using honey
rather than plain syrup made from
cane augar or corn syrup, so far aa
I can learn. I beg the apiarists to
lay off thla once, unless they have
some definite scientific source or
test to bring to my attention. It la
not that I don't like honey, for 1
don't, but we can't let these mis
leading traditions go on forever, you
know.
I'll aay thla for honey. If you
like the stuff at all It la more
wholesome, more healthful for you.

factured aweet, with the possible ex
ception
Honestly, bee keepers, I hate to
mention this, but candor and good
faith compel that I acknowledge the
nutritive value
of old fashioned molasses.
The reason why I place honey high
on the list of sweets or sweeteners
la that honey contains more mineral
matter than any other ayrup or
sugar, with the exception of mo
lasses. And old fashioned molasses,
at any rate, contains a fair amount
of vitamin B. There Is no vitamin
at all in honey, according to Sher
man and other authorities. But old
fashioned molasses Is hard to find
nowadays. The product of modern
