(Roaehurg Times) In many Instance, the budget allowance was exceeded. The same ha. been true In year, past. Rather than clutter up the psno. of The Times with a con glomeration of figure., this news psper would rather say In past ing that the business of Rose burg has been conducted In an efficient manner during the past year. , The first, citizens, away from home when Al Smith enunciated over the radio have returned and reported, pne .aid he heard nothing but pralae lor the speech, and the other could detect nothing but commendation. "Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolation. Suffer me that I may speak: and, after 1 bave spoken mock me." (Job. at: -.) Text for the campaign. ...

The English Sparrow Association lias adopted resolution, condemning chickens running at large. In the bis. area. The latter devour all .tray morsel., and because of .Ire and aggressiveness dominate the situa tion, the reaoluton cites. The Im mediate use of a frying pan. was urged as a meana of correcting the evil. "Famine .talks In our midst," said J. Elton Sparrow, spokesman for the association, "Unless relief 1. provided, we will scratch up all the gardens, due to be planted oon. The chicken, downtown are more of a nuisance than we are. We build fiesta In awning., but we don't lay eggs In doorway.." ... BALLOT RECOMMENDATIONS The following suggestion, for vot ing at the special election Friday, in event you have nothing else to do. and feel like struggling to the polls need not be used: Primary Change Iaw This meas ure 1. to change the primary from May to September, not to permit the candidate to change hi. mind, snd not ran. It would cut the csm paign from six months to 8 days. Ol Yeah! The candidates will still be running twelve months of every year, with three day. off to observe Christmas. Vote as you pleas. It will make no difference. Sales Tax to Provide Funds for Old Ae Pensions, care the blind, and aid to dependent children The purpcee. of this measure ar. noble and needed. Many Old Folks, snd most of their Professional Friends oppose It. The Old Folks argue It will prevent the coming of their s'JOO per month ralnlraw. If the measure 1. defeated, there will b. no pension coin, until that hap py day.The blind are a small rot- Ing factor, and dependent children have no votes, so what they think and feel, mnttera not with the poli ticians. Vote Yes. as a matter ot human kindness, and general help fulness. Authorizing Raise In Pay for Leg islator. They now receive 3 per day. and knew what the salary was. when they decided to run to serve the people, as It Is called. The bill would let the solon. fix their own psy. The present pay Is not enough, but fit punishment for legislative boondoggling. Vote No. Compulsory Student Fees In slate college. Thl. ts nobody's busi ness but the students and the board of higher education, but something to fight about earnestly. It would be Just as sensible for the general public to vote on the Orand Mnstr of the Orange. Vote yes. as a pro tect .Rainst canipua agitators, and those who have never been on a campus, I Improve Fire OERIIAPS just perhaps--there may be one measure on the ballot this Friday upon which there will be general agree ment. This ii the proposal to put the Medford Fire department under civil service. There should be no material opposition to auch a construc tive and desirable proposal. There is everything to be said in fuvor and nothing against. Medford baa one of the best fire departments in the state now. But it could, of course, be made better, and instituting civil service would do just that, make it better. EUGENE, Klamath Falls, Salem and other cities in Medford 's class in the state, have adopted civil service for their fire departments, and the experiment in each and every case hat been a success. Why shouldn't it be! Civil service simply means purging public service of polities, and putting publio service upon a nonpiirtisan MERIT basis. It is essentially nothing but good business and common sense. Politics should have no place in a fire department, per sonal or partisan. If a member of a fire department is com petent, capable, has done and is doing good work, he should not be kicked out, just because some politician may not like him, or wishes to replace him with someone who happens to wear a different political label. This is the spoils system, and it is bad in any department of the public service, but partic ularly so, where inefficiency or lack, of proper organization may mean the loss not only nf property but of lives. MEDFORD not only has one of the best fire departments in the state, but one of the most capable and experienced fire chiefs. If any citizen has doubts regarding the adviseability of introducing civil service, Fire Chief Elliott's enthusiastic support of the proposal should remove it. For everyone knows the chief and knows he would not favor any change that could injure the department in any way. Civil service might mean more work for him at times, but it would be for the good of the department, and the good of the department is all he is interested in. . lVTOT only would civil service ' efficient, but it would improve Medford's fire rating, and its adoption would lend to other changes which eventually would no doubt result in lower insurance rates. A we view it; civil service in the fire department should have the unanimous endorsement of the people of this city, for, as before stated, there is everything to be said in favor of it, and nothing against. The Days Ahead TPHESE are restless times. The days ahead of us will be rest- less days. As the party campaigns warm up Americans are going to be subjected to one of the hardest political battles in many years. And on every band we're going to be bombarded with the threat of losing our liberties. In fact, it's a safe guess the campaign will be fought out more or less along the line of American liberties. One faction is going to contend that the American liberty will pass and fascism or communism or a dictator or some other ism will supplant it unless that party is returned to power. And just as hard-hitting will be the other party using about the same arguments. And so' when the smoke ot the battle vanishes one wonders if the good old American Constitution still will be intact despite the battle scars. WELL, as one writer recently summed up," this country Iibs gone through a good many hard battles political and otherwise, and it's still a going concern. The Civil war and other wars have come and gone; depressions and booms have been hard, but the United States has weathered them. And then there have been auch uprisings as the Populists,, and the Kn Kluxers and the Know Nothings and the Green Backers and abolitionist and prohibitionist ernsj the agitation for women's suffrago and the scandal of Teapot Dome. Thes. and many more have come along and split the nation. Some have hurt and some have helped, but the country always has muddled through and the Union still stands. So when you are worrying about the coming battle keep this thought in mind we, the reople, have fought and bled and died for something called liberty; it is most deeply rooted and it won't be easily uprooted, New Deal or not, Supreme court or not.

The senator was amaced when his heckler deplored his stand but con gratuleted him for hi forthrtghtneaa. The crowd cheered It could not have worked out better for the senator If the heckler had been a plant, which he was NOT. Note The senator waa Vandenberg of Michigan, the only Republican presidential possibility In congress who voted against thai bonus. It sounds Improbable but a New York congressman swears It la true. At any rate the story now Is being told In the house cloakroom that the newest boondoggling scheme In Con nectlcut Is to plant briar bushes to make better cover for rabbits and thus Improve hunting.

As the society writer, cnouy K n l o k e r bocker, he is al ways on the go with a speed that suggests the roulette ball and yet never loses en thusiasm. On top of this he probably pro duces more copy than any two of the most pro lific c r I bblera in Manhattan. Now and then he hikes off for Palm Beach or the Riv lera, but never without typewriter. In hla early 40', he ha been main taining this tempo for two decsdes. It is not likely that ne can recau a dusk that donning dinner Jacket or white tie and tails was not a part of hi routine.

To the Editor: Concerning the 9 per cent tax on which we wtll vote January 31. many people think by defeating this law they will not have to share the ex pense of caring for our old people. If this law is not ratified fhe state of Oregon vtll be compelled to pro vide help lor Uit aged by some other mean and whatever means 1 sup piled will have to come from the taxpayer. A favorable vote on this law makes Oregon's old age pension law conform to the federal pension law which pro vide up to tlS for old age pensions ln Oregon. Thl question resolves Itself Into business proposition: If we vote yes the federsl law will pay one-half of the pension. If we vote no, the tax payers of Oregon will have to pay all of whatever relief Is supplied by the state. Is It not good business for we taxpayers to support this law by voting YES? T. N. KERR, Ashland, Or. January 37. Opposes Primary Change To the Editor: I am positively opposed to chang ing the date of primary elections. The one outstanding progressive step that has been taken by the state of Oregon Is the direct election of delegates to the national conventions of political parties. In this way alone do the people themselves make use of their Inherent right to have a voice in the selection of candidates for president and vice-president of the United States. Do you wish to abrogate your pres ent right to a click of political bosses? Do you wish to abrogate your pres ent right of electing Independent can didates should those candidates se lected at the primaries fall to meet with your approval? Surely, all progressive citizens. In this community, agree with me when I say: "No, we do not wish to return to a reign of political bosses." Hence, the undersigned will vote "no" on prorosltlon 301, on Friday, Janu ary 31.

(Note that thl. "frozen nation" la located by the Chicago dispatches aa EAST of the Rockies. Back there, they think of the nation that way.) IT'S really cold, 'though, as may be Judged by this sentence from the Chicago weather dispatch: "Niagara falls remained frozen over for the third consecutive day for the first time ln man's mem ory. (White men's memory, presum ably.) . Thirty yeara hence, that will be something for the old-tlmere to tell about. Which reminds us that 30 yeara from now the youngsters of today will be old-timers. THIS hesdllne Isn't unexpected New Dealers Open Attack on Al Smith." He opened the fight on them, so It', natural and logical tor them to fight back. If Al had PRAISED the New Deal, the New Deal would have praised him. That', the way politics goes. . YOY may have noted this sentence from the Washington dlapatch: "Political leader, were seeking to reckon the significance of Smith's projected "walk' If the Democratic convention endorses the administra tion, a. expected." It raises this question: "WHERE WILL HE WALK?" INTO a third party? That Is Improbable, for Al Smith and those who feel aa he does are seasoned campaigners who know by experience that a third party Is apt to be nothing more than a fu tile gesture of protest. : They want RESULTS not futile gesture, of protest. THE way It looks now, there will be two msjor parties ln the coming election. the New Desi psrty snd the anti-New Deal party. The Democratic party, as a mat ter of course, will be the New Deal party, for the New Dealers are In command and control of It. The Republlcana, who are out and want to get In and are therefore the party of protests, become logloally and naturally the anti-New Deal party. But ln the campaign that Is be ginning "Republican" and "Demo crat" will be only empty name. Tne real Issue on which people will di vide will be New Deal and anti- New Deal.

Ye Poet's Cornei Lazy Willamette Hushed like the rtlllness of the West, Smooth and clm, Z see It flow; Against the shore its wave Is prest As It lazily does go. To the Columbia Its way It takes; now when there Is no breeze The water glides smooth, does not roaring play And fierce. I see It through the trees. The forest In autumn colours Is decked. Through which the river slips e.wsy; It many years this path hath trekked k And will until the latest day. O lazy Willamette gliding by, I see your smooth and quiet flow. Ayl glide on, past the meadows nigh. As you have done since long ago. PERCY MADDUX, Ashland, Ore. Dawn Softly rosy light comes stealing Into our windows at morn. Quickly our eyea fly open, For another day is born. Loud and clear we. hear, the cock crow , Calling all to awake; From afar we hear the birds' call Coming from across the lake. Cattle softly lowing, horses Neighing from the doors, Seem to tell us to hurry And get to our morning chores. All these things we see and hear At the dawn of another day, Fills our hearts, and sets us singing, Makes us thankful here to stay. MARY PERRY, Same Valley. WASHINGTON, Jan. 39-.
