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.

" J ceiAful Is the In

time 369 case were treated by In

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

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

C, B. and G. A great many persons
similarly affected experience marked

flclent vitamin reserve built up. That

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

let the Old World go by. mind our

He's Sick of Hegner's Letters.
To the Editor:
I have read the communications
of R. Hegner of Gold Hill until X am
sick of them. 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.

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

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.
