MEMBER. 1 D ' 0N Can 't THERE is something phoney about this alleged Anglo-American oil concession in Ethiopia. It is hard to believe there are any rich oil deposits in this section of darkest Africa. It is harder to believe, that the Stan dard Oil company, or any other hard beaded oil company, would seriously consider, a $60,000,000 development, in a country as remote as Abyssinia and hanging, as it is, on the very brink of war. The entire affair looks suspiciously like a rather belated effort on the part of Emperor Selassie, to give Italy the impres sion that if his country is invaded, America aad England will immediately become involved, becauhe of the threat to their oil interests in Ethiopia. IF this is the case then the King of Kings is due for a rude awakening as far as the United States is concerned. For the spirit of neutrality, and the determination to not be involved in any more European quarrels, is so strong in this country, that no sudden last minute investment, of 60 million or 600 million, by Big Business, is going to make the slightest difference, as far as "Washington is concerned. Outside of actual invasion, or a causus belli, so extraordinary in its potency that it could transform public opinion in the United Stntes, overnight, this country is going to war WITH NO ONE. Nor is it going to become involved in any foreign entanglements, involving or not involving force. Publicopinion in this country, is overwhelmingly in favor of Ethiopia in this impending conflict with Italy, and if war is actually declared, this sentiment will undoubtedly increase. The recent neutrality measure may even become embarrassing, when it prevents the shipments of arms and ammunition to a weak, unoffending and unprepared country, with no other way, to defend herself from virtual extinction. But the action has been taken. As far as the United States is concerned the die is cast. As has been previously stated in this column, America dotes on we have gone, bait, hook and sinker to another. nplIIS reputed Anglo-American oil concession is too rcmiu iscent of the propaganda used, so effectively during the world war, to make much of a dent on public sentiment in this country, except to strengthen its determination to keep out of the mess entirely. The British promoter, who we suspect, persuaded the 'King of Kings" to join with him in a "fast one", will have nothing but burnt fingers and some questionable contracts, in his strong box for his pains. Uncle Sam was roped in by financial involvement once, but it will take at least one more generation, probably more, before he will be roped in again. North Dakota s Example CONCERNING the problem of a new state capitol building in Oregon, it is interesting to learn what North Dakota has clone. The North Dakota experience closely parallels that of Ore gon. North Dakota lost its capitol by fire in December 1930. At a meeting of the state legislature in February 1931, a bill was adopted calling for the construction of a new one. It provided for a committee to select an architect and placed the maximum cost at $2,000,000. The well known architectural firm of Holabird and Root was selected, with two North Dakota architects to assist them, and oversee the construction. A S an article in the Architectural Forum points out, the architects did not follow the traditional idea of what a state capitol building should be. They broke with the past entirely, abandoned the old fashioned dome and rotunda idea, and put up an edifice, the major portion of which was a 19-story "skyscraper. " The skyscraper idea made it possible to establish a state capitol centre, so to speak, on a relatively limited area of ground, and include, nil state departments under one roof. This was regarded as desirabl-c for statistics indicated, the average resi dent visiting the capitol had to consult with at least three differ ent departments, on each visit. ANOTHKR interesting feature was the complete separation of file nTpiiitiv nnrl lnrntclntivn r1Ttartmnt in a thrna fitnrv wing, so that it could be cut off was not in session, thus reducing service, without interfering with tration. A great Memorial Hall was placed as a connecting link between the legislative portion and the office structure, to pro vide, as the article points out, "visual evidence to tho citizenry of the majesty of government." The capitol was completed at an extremely low unit cost, and while quite modern and "unusual" in general appearance, it has this great advantage: that it is built for USE, not foe show; built to answer MODERN needs, not as merely a gesture of respect to the architectural glories of an age that has nassed. AVe believe that when the matter of building Oregon's new capitol comes up before the legislature, the expericuo of North Dakota in this direction, can be studied with great interest and benefit to the state.

ONE FOR THE OLD Prom the June Issue of Clinical Medicine and Surgery: "Bach, of the rectal clinic, Maua chasetts General Hospital, ae.ys that since the clinic waa orga nized In 1928. the number of hem- o r r holdectomles (surgical excision of hemorrhoids piles) haa stead ily decreased, and that In 1P32 there Anl BrVR 7nJVl These figures f 1 show how sue " J ceiAful Is the In jection treatment. During ttiat time 369 case were treated by In jection." There are still a few old fogte who pretend to be competent physicians, surgeons or even proctologists (rectal specialists) so hidebound and back ward that they can't master the tech nic of thl modern method, and so 'n self-defense they conjure up all sorts of fanciful objections and try to persuade unsophisticated patients to submit to the comparatively crude and atrociously uncomfortable surg ical removal of hemorrhoids. These old fogies are well repre sented at American Medical associa tion headquarters, from which high and holy source emanates the follow ing quaint bit of propaganda: "It would not seem logical to Inject an Irritating substance out side a thin aae . . . Furthermore, treatment by the injection method requires considerable time, aa It has to be repeated at Intervals . . . If an operation la performed pati ents are able to return home in a comparatively short time. ..." To be sure these gratuitous objec tions are ascribed to "well known" but anonymous authorities a little trick of the American Medical asso ciation propaganda department. Also the well known unknown was sound ing off about the Injection treatment of hernia. But It should be obvious to any physician who knows anything about the subject, that the well known surgeon didn't know what he was talking about, for as a matter of fact It takes less. than one-tenth of the time to cure hernia by the In jection method that It does to cure by the radical operation. Further more, the Injection method does not detain the patient from his regular business or work, while he surgical operation keeps him In hospital and disabled for a month or more. Dr. Thos. F, McNnmara of Roches ter, N. Y., outstanding In the Injec tion treatmen tof hemorrhoids and author of a book on the subject for physicians who wish to learn the method, holds that a single seance should suffice to give complete end lasting relief In nearly all oases. If the doctor giving the treatment ta'es pains to note the proper reaction at sands Just so she could extend her empire? Yet your paper advocates that we stop recognizing Russia! It's all absurd I Especially when you stop to think that It ts AMERICAN CITI ZENS, not Russians, that are the communists In America that are supposed to be advocating the over throw of the United Statesl You are continually talking about the freedom of the preas you evidently don't be lieve In It, If It has anything to do with communism! If Russians can put up such a persuasive argument that millions of American citizens will Join communistic societies, then the communists must have something worth while, Of course, they are doing some tilings that are mistakes, but every nation haa. It all remlnda mo very much of a couple of little children that have been playing out In the yard. One of them gets peev ed and says: "I don't like the way you do things, so I am going to take my doll and go home." The United States government has acted Just like that little child. Yet grown diplo mats who are supposed to be Intelli gent men go ahead and continue to do things like that no wonder wme people are so easily convinced that the comnuinlstlc form of government Is better than our own) Another point you have mentioned Is that they have proven themselves to be untrustwor thy. Just what do you base this statement on? Stop a minute and see If you can think of anv treat patton in the world that the United States could actually consider trust worthy ! Almost every world power today has repudiated hundreds of mil lions of dollara of American debts Is that being trustworthy? Appar ently, by your tine of reasoning, any thing a capitalistic nation does Is all right but anything a communist na tion does Is all wrong. Can anyone say that Is Justice and freedom? Fol lowing ts a quotation condensed by the "Resder's Digest." from "Today." entitled 'There's Gold In the Soviet." It Is by John F. Chapman. "By buy ing abroad a little less each year than they were able to sell to foreign coun tries, the Russians have accumulat ed enough to pay off nearly 700.00C -000 of foreign credits In the last four yeara. The best guess now is that Moscow owes less than 1 50.000.000 outside the country. If, now. Moscow can round off this record with the largest gold production In the world, it should lift Russia to a place of per manent importance. Russia has the enormous task ahead of developing an area almost three times the sire of the United Sfafea with resources not yet even completely surveyed. No one know better than Moscow how foolhardy it would be to push old dreams of a world revolution. Now, the catch In this article 1 that I am NOT a communist, and never plan to be: but I do believe In a square deal and at least an ex-en break for everyone! F. CYRIl, SANDER, Medford. Sept. 3. IW4.

A great many persons similarly affected experience marked Improvement when they get a suf- , flclent vitamin reserve built up. That takes a month or so of super-vitamin feeding. Not every such person even tually develops diabetes, but one who abjectly submits to the tyranny of abnormal craving for corbohydrotes Is i heading that way.

From Sam A? Kroschet. To the Editor: The writer haa always been rather reluctant to express his opinion on different subjects heretofore, but if you will grant him the space required in your valuable paper, and. although he Is not now a resident of Medford, he Is however Interested in Its wel fare. For that reason he desires to express his opinion, whether they are Implicit or implied. It is very evident that Medford his Its share of public-spirited citizens, however, some may be over-zealcus. This has reference to those that arc becoming Interested In building an other and a new reservoir. The writer Is highly in accord with those duty elected officials that hesitate to take' on any more bond Issues at this time. Although the tax limitation bill did not carry In the last election, the fact should not be overlooked that taxes are too high already. Look at your tax delinquent list; those thst are able to pay and do pay. make up this delinquency In the budget, snd will soon mean confiscation, that Is, If you add on more taxes. Medford and the Rogue River val ley should congratulate itself that it has its revenue from diversified farm ing. It can well appreciate this situ ation when taking Into consideration the calamities that have resulted amongst the citrus fruit producers. In this world there are yet people to be found that do not reallre the Importance of "Know yourself' and "Know your business." Too many people are dependent upon those that always and Invariably have to do It for them. Thla has reference to those that have to depend on Jobbers and brokers, etc. Knowledge la valuable when fol lowed by action. Folks are Just dif ferent from one -another. All of us have weak points. Strength comes from curing the tvesk points; mark ing time gets nowhere. Commerce Is a game of skill: the right merchant has Just the average of faculties we call commonsense. An item, or rather an advert :e- ment. in your valuable paper by the Farmers and Fruitgrowers bank, as follows, quote: 'FOOLISH WARS. "Herodotus says the Scythians of the O'.d World scalped their enemies. Being Americans, what a relief it is to know thst we did not begin the horrible practice. And becides, there was no scalp ing done at Table Rock. Why net let the Old World go by. mind our own business, and keep our nwrwf in Jackst n county hanks, instead of spending it for foolish s:s''"1 Farmers nd Fruitgrowers Ban " TVs reminds your humble corre spondent what an old Indian once aid: 'You u; last tae Indian scalped the white men or the:- en emies?

I admire the editorial In tonight's Tribune, entitled "Rec ognition of Russia." If this fellow Hegner Is so crazy about the Russians and the com munist party, my suggestion to him is that he sell out whatever he owns here and go to the country that he loves. If I didn't like a country I was living In, X would leave It and not sit In one country and brag about another. His logic Is as good as the fellow In Nevada that was drawing 30 per month on relief and wiwn offered a Job for $45 per month he stated, "To hell with you. Do you think I would work for $15 per month?" He haa shown himself to be a com munist and the sooner we are rid and done with the communists the sooner snd the quicker we will be back on earth among our fellow men and able to earn a living. I have no sympathy for the gang I see every day on the corner, cussing the government and everything else, and yet, if you offer ed them a Job at 60 cents per hour, they would want 1.00, with no edu cation, no learning, and nothing but a strong back and a weak mind to earn It with. The sooner the people .of the United States get the idea, that we only get what we work for, the better we will all be In the long run. because It ts a proven fact that those that work always support those that don't and don't want to. My Idea would be to deport this crowd to the country that they would be satisfied with. Of course, if they were there, they would not be Mills fled. They would think they were on the way to Eden and when they found out that no matter where you go you have to work they would wel come the shores of the good old United States, where during the past few years. Idleness and communism has been fostered and petted. T. J. EN RIGHT, Just a small Republican in the ranks. Medford, September 2. (Continued from Page One) to the needs of those who would develop a fascist state." Among the measures which did not get through congress was the Black lobby registration bill. It would have required all lobbyists to register and to disclose their compensation. It was killed by the American Bar association because Its provisions would have blanketed at torneys and thus was considered an Indignity to the legal profession. However, some of the credit Is really due to a couple of high-priced Dem ocratic lawyers here. They are mem bers of the unofficial "$25,000 club," so called because members favor that amount as a fee. When President Roosevelt signed the Spanish war veterans pension bill, he said: "This establishes no ground of precedent for pensions for the World war group; theirs is an entirely different case." Appar ently the represents tives of World war veterans did not hear him. At least the V. F. w. crowd, headed by James Van Zandt, is organizing to push for a uniform pension idea. They figure that the bonus z c.i ready a certainty, that it wMl be enacted In January. They are light about that. Also, enactment or a pension sys tem Is only a question of time. It will not come next year because the bonus bill will satisfy the vet erans' vote for at least one more election- Most legislative authorities, however, consider It a certainty within five years. A prominent union official calleo at the SEC the other day to get copies of the regulation statement of the firm whose employes he speaks for. He wanted to learn something about the internal finan cial, position of the firm so he would be In a better labor bargaining position. It seems that the only reason Vice President Garner is going to Japan la that the boat on whlcn he boVd passage for the Philip pines takes that route, going and coming.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS IT IS popular. In these daya of stag gering government spending to talk of taxing tbe rich and letting tha poor go free. It Is popular because the rich are few, whereaa very manj of ua Indeed are very poor. WHO la rich very rich, that la? Most of us will agree readily enough that anyone with an Income of a million dollars a year cr more la rlcn sinfully rich. A million dollars a year Is a lot of money, and a mil lion dollara a year is almost mora money than ordinary people can com prehend, y So, we say, let'a sock the million--year boys they've got so much money they won't miss what la. taken from them and can afford to pay. the' taxes for all the rest of ua. LISTEN: ' ' In 1933. the last year for which the figures are available, there were FORTY-SIX persona Jn the United Statea with net Incomes of a million dollars a year or more, and the grand total of these 46 Incomes wss Ml,. 598,981. In that year the goxernment SPENT seven and one-third billion dollars, which waa roughtly twice aa much aslt took In, Its deficit being more than three and a half billions. M THAT Is to say. If the government had confiscated ALL ot tbe In come ofALL PERSONS receiving mora than a million dollars a year, the total thua taken would have lasted It Just about 8B hours. ' So. you see. regardless of what the demagoguea tell us. we're got to get a lot more taxes than the very rich can pay. THE demagoguea are fond of telling us that a few rich people get about all the money that la made. Let'a see about that. In the year 1928, which was a rich man's yeas, the total national Income waa Ml,-, 940.000.000. Of this total, those re ceiving wages and salarlea got 83.1 per cent. Persona In business . fof themselves. Including farmers, got 17.3 per cent. Investors and property holders got 14 9 per cent and 3.7 per cent was saved up and added to eapl tal. In that rich man's year, wage work era got TWO-THIRDS of every dollar of Income earned In the nation. Not so bad. THE trouble with demagogues, who are among the great curses of modern life. Is that they so seldom tell the truth. The truth doesn't serve their purpose. A MONO the monumental Ilea tht demagogues tell, the most mon umental Is that the rich will have to pay all the taxes resulting from the spending spree our government la en gaging In. The cold. hard, unpleasant truth la that In one form or another we'll ALL have to pay these taxes. Alphabet Parade tlrnn.. SHERIDAN.
