MASONIC PAPER LAUDS MEDFORD AS OFFERING DEAL PLACE TO LIVE The March Issue of the Masonic Analyst, the Masonic paper for Ore gon, published at Portland and cir culated throughout the northwest, contains a story of more than a page, headed "Medford, Queen of Jackson County, Oregon." This la the first of a series of articles on the towns and cities of Oregon containing Ma sonic lodges. In describing the beauties and wealth of the "Queen of - Jackson County," the Analyst says: "Mert ford offers a place of residence that many have seen only in their dreams." After reviewing the many attrac tions and advantages of the Rogue River country, the Analyst devotes considerable space to the history of Masonry In Medford, and among other things cells attention to the fact that of the 23 mayors of Med ford since 1885. half of them have been Masons. It states further that "Medford also furnished a grand mas ter of the Grsnd lodge of Oregon In the person of Barm M. Wilson, who was serving his second term as mayor and who resigned In the middle of his term in 1934 in order to give his entire time to the Masons of the state." One of the Interesting features Is the fact that 98 percent of the pop ulation of Jackson county ere Amer ican born. Considerable space is de voted to the churches, schools, Hos pitals, clubs and social organisations of Medford, and the pear crop la not forgotten.

On Capitol Hill, hostility devel oped among Democrats of the house ways and means committee which will write the legislation. "I don't think that the taxing of corporate surpluses is the proper thing," said Representative Thomp son (D.. 111.) "I believe It would have a very adverse effect on business that should very shortly begin to absorb some of the unemployment." The committee waa to assemble at 2:30 p. m., to consider procedure on the tax program. Representative Mapes (R-. Mich.) predicted there would be no tax law this session that congress would "fuss over It" and then go home. Promise Careful Study The only reaction of Chairman Doughton (D.. N. C.) of the ways and means committee was: "We are going to take It and study It csrefully." Representative Treadway (R., Mass.), ranking minority member of the committee, repeated that he stilly favored reducing expenditures Instead of Increasing taxes. "I think the suggestion of taxing undivided corporation income is very dangerous." he added. Asked whether the tax proposal would add emphasis to a drive for payment of the bonus through cur rency expansion. Representative Patman (D., Tex.) replied: "I Imagine It might. It is likely to stir up interest.' Senator Berkley of Kentucky. Democratic member of the senate finance committee which would handle any tax bill sent over by the house said: Aid Balanced Budget "Nobody relishes taxes in an elec tion year, but this program cer tainly will contribute toward a bal ancing of -the budget when we get relief off our shoulders." Bsrkley as Id an average tax of about 33 1-3 percent on undistrib uted corporate earnings, with scale of from. 25 to 40 percent had been-suggested. He added that con sideration would be given to ex emptions of such amounts as re quired for depletion reserves and debt retirement. The Kentucklan said the "wind fall" tax might be In the form of a requirement that processors who received refunds of taxes which he did not pass on to the consumer In the first place would Include the refunds in his Income for taxation purposes. InM emonam Darling Mother, they -have laid you Where the flowera all around you grow, And In the stillness of the night. The moonbeams on them will softly play. 4 At times, when I am weeping, I will come "and alt among them, And your voice I will hear saying, "Come again, but do not weep." The birds will sing at twilight, Their songs so sweet and low, While the clouds go floating Through the sky so soft end blue. Darling Mother, I will not grieve; I know you are softly resting, Where the angels are gathering around you, In that Beautiful Land of Rest. And as our earthly work In finished, We will cross that dark and silent river. To enter Into a Land of Sunshine, And there we will meet you, Mother.

THESE FACTS ABOUT BRAN HAVE BEEN PROYED-BY TESTS Supplies Gently Acting"Bulk" to Aid Regular Habits Now and then, In talking with your friends, the subject of bran haa come up. So that real facta might replace unsupported opinions, tha Kellnfrg Company haa aided for some yeara research in leading nutrition laboratories. , Studies made on a group of healthy women showed that two tablespoonfula of bran daily con tinued to relieve constipation over a period of months. How different from cathartics where dosage often must be increased. Another series of tents on men in. dicated that, with some people, the "bulk" in bran waa much mora effective than that found in fruits and vegetables. Further tesU showed that Kel logj's All-Bran provided vitamin B and iron- as well as "bulk." This "bulk" arworbs moisture, and 1 gently exercises and cleanses the system the right way to correct constipation. Serve All-Bran regularly for regularity. Either as a cereal, with milk or cream, or in cooked dishes. It is a natural laxative food. Sold by all gro ears. Made by Kel 1 logg in Battle Creek. GOOD GARDENING TO 11. What To Plant The city man should not at tempt to grow more than 10 or 13 vegetables, at the outside, in the garden. Some important food crops like potatoes, peas and sweet corn take too much space for many small urban plots, but should be Included as fine old standbys wherever possible. The essential Idea la to keep every foot of apace occupied and to have a succession of plantings of some vegetables to assure con tinuous supply. Many gardeners go in for lettuce snd radlahea too heavily : it's quite possible to grow them in the rows between plants or hill of other crops. Beginners are advised by the experts not to attempt too much variety.

Fred Bales of Portland and Avery Combs of Marah field were the only students heard owing to the fact that limited time for the Rotary luncheon made It Im possible for all members of the Ore gon symposium speakers to take part. The group, headed by Professor W. A. Dahlberg, are making numerous pub lic appearances in southern Oregon- The subject of propaganda was in troduced by Fred Bsles who pointed out that this "art of making up the other fellow's mind" has been em ployed since the time of the cave man. He atressed propaganda activi ties In all countries in war time altho emphasising the fact that It has be come a vital peace-time problem. He urged a more critical publio attitude toward propaganda, explaining that It la employed to make up the public mind through the process of sugges tion rather than reason. The media used In spreading propaganda were also mentioned by thla speaker, "Propaganda teaches people what to think while education teaches the public how to think." Balea pointed out. The extent to which nations re sorted to propaganda during the world war was mentioned by Avery Oombs, the second speaker. "There Is no such thing as good and bad propaganda," Combs said. "If we get the habit of accepting the good, we are apt to accept the bad without employing reason." Combs concluded his arguments with a brief outline of propaganda as employed by Germany, Italy and Russls in their present-day problems. Two splendid solos were presented by Fred Bates, accompanied by Mrs. Dahlberg at the piano. Prof. Dahl berg Introduced the student speakers at the luncheon. Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THERE Is still doubt as to what Is happening In Japan. Thla dis patch from London la an example: "A Reuters (British news agency) dispatch from Shanghai today said private advices from Chinese sources there declared Japanese troops had revolted In the huge industrial city DRIVE for 1 OOO New Customers A Sale That Has the Town Talking! n Spring Bargains in Every Department SMART SPRING SUITS Mannish tailored, Jerry coat suits and swagger suits.

Phone 28 of Osaka but Japanese authorities In Shanghai strongly denied the report." ONE can't believe the Japanese, be cause of strict censorship In the present emergency, and It's bard to believe Chinese news sources at any time, because experience has proved them generally unreliable. So about all we can do, for a while yet. Is to keep our fingers crossed, believe nothing, and watt for more reliable Information. That's ALWAYS the case when cen sors get their fingers on tha news. THE interstate commerce commis sion, by a five-to-four decision, orders a reduction In basic passenger fares on the railroads from 3.0 cents per mile to 3 cents. The theory Is that by reducing the cost more people can be Induced to travel, thus Increasing the gross pas senger returns of the railroads. If it works that way, everybody will be happy. THERE'S a lot of talk about In creasing expenses, then increas ing prices, and passing the increase in price off onto the consumer, but In the long run the only way In which standards of human comfort can be Increased la by cutting costs and then lowering prices correspond ingly, so that people may HAVE MORE of the things they want and need. (Incidentally, this new Interstate commerce commission order won't af fect us of the West, for tho Western railroads, which are generally more progressive than those of the Eastern, cut passenger rates some time ago, and we've been enjoying the reduc tion ever since). PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT proposes new taxes amounting to more than a billion dollars now and de signed to produce PERMANENT re ceipts of about s830.O0O,OO0 a year. The Washington dispatch that car ries this news adds: "The effect of the President's pro posal was to stir Immediate congres sional rumblings against additional taxation In an election year." CONGRESS, you-see. Is ready V enough to spend more money, but wants to conceal from people that spending money RAISES TAXES. It wants to convey In every way possible the Impression that you can have your cake and eat It, too.
