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.

ent exemption of dividends from
the normal (4 per cent) tax on In
dividual Incomes.
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.

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.

TOLD ROTARIANS
BY U 0 STUDENTS
"The Influence of Propaganda
Upon Public Opinion" was the sub
ject of a brief, Interesting discussion
presented by University of Oregon
students at today's meeting of the
Medford Rotary club. 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.

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.
