A False Report Corrected To tha Editor: Pleu correct ml It I im wrong. Tha way I understand It In your paper of August 38. tht City Council amended the Bond Election to read aa follow,: 'Taxea which may be levied without limitation aa to rate or amount upon al the taxable property within the territorial limit of the City ot Medford. I think tbla la putting It pretty atrong. I waa In favor of the bond, aa they were, but am certainly not In favor of a tax . without limitation. So tax payera please read the new amended ordinance over oarefully before voting. Medford. Aug. 30. A TAX PAVER (Name on file) Taxpayer is wrong. The bond issue under consideration will no more involve "taxation without limitation" than other sim ilar bond issues. It will only involve taxes sufficient to pay off the principal and interest of this bond issue, a total of $73,500 (and interest). The phrase objected to is merely a technical one, to make it clear the bonds are a general obligation of the city. We suggest that any citizens with similar doubts, consult City Attorney Frank Karrell, and have them cleared up. . THERE is no mystery about this bond election and should be no doubt as to how to vote. In the last analysis the entire matter comes down to this: Do the people of Medford wish to pay for their street repairs and reconstruction without any financial aid, and drag the operation through a period of four or five years, or Do they wish to do the SAME WORK WITH FINANCIAL AID (an outright grant from the government of ifc58,500), and within the next year, at a time when the added payrolls such work involves, will be a tremendous blessing to everyone in the community! FOR eventually this necessary reconstruction work must be done anyway. And obviously the sooner it is done, the less will be the total cost, for added delay, means added wear and tear, added deBtruction that mnst be paid for. So as previously stated in this column, we can see nothing to be said against such a proposal and everything to be said in its favor. Uncle Sam Can Take It PIE staid and conservative Atlantic Monthly has gotten to gether a special report on the situation in Mexico and sent it to all its subscribers. It is entitled "Trouble below the border" and adds up to this : If Mexico persists in her present policy of confiscation, American citizens are due to lose something like $5,000,000,000 in cold hard cash, and Roosevelt's good neighbor policy is knocked into a cocked hat. . No doubt about the truth of this statement. IN fact it is considerable of a mystery, why the recent action of the Cardenas government has aroused so little excitement in this country and so little resentment. For while Mexico phrased its action in characteristic polite and euphonious language, the fact remains that it decided to take private property worth billions of dollars, belonging to citizens of the United States, True it promised to compensate for the loss EVENTUALLY, but at the same time declared that this would only be done, when the Mexican government could afford to do it, and this vital matter apparently would be decided by the Mexican government. In other words Mexico has adopted the somewhat discredited principle that possession is nine points of the law, and acted upon it. As a practical matter there is little to choose between her action and that of the bank employee who hard pressed for cash, borrows a few thousand on the promise (to himself) that eventually he will pay it back. 'T'WENTT years ago such action would have thrown this country into a dither, and brought the two nations to the brink of war. But today while the State Department shows a certain digni fied concern, the people as a whole even Mr. Hearst, evidence slight interest and less indignation over such a high handed and piratical procedure. It is obvious that a great change has come over our national psychology since a pacifist administration, Messrs. Wilson and Bryan, sent troops into Mexico and fired on Vera Cruz because Messrs. Huerta and Villa didn't behave themselves strictly according to Hoylel Cost Of Living Declines OERHAPS you haven't noticed it, hut the cost of living has declined since January first. At least the National Indus trial Conference Board fays so. and it is the accepted authority in such matters. In January 1937 the cost of living was 3ti.9 and rose steadily until on July 1st, 1037 it was S3. 9. In January 1988 the cost of living was S7.5 and it has fallen steadily until on July 1st this enr, it was 8S.5. The difference between 8(5.5 and 88.9 may not seem so great, only 2.4, hut it is certainly s step iu the right directiou. So one must grant that even a recession cloud can have its silver lining.

William Brady, 865 El Camlno, Beverly HUH, Cam. BBITISR VIEW Of Maybe more Englishmen ' should have their tonsils removed. That la a notion that wlU occur to many Americans. It la neither log leal nor pathological, in my opinion. If there are more enlarged and In fected t o n s 1 1 among the Eng lish than, among us in the United States and Can ada. I believe It la not due to geography, cli mate or anything like that, but to the comparative backwardness of the English people aa a whole In regard to the conser vation of the teeth. For It la now pretty well recognized by physicians and pathologists throughout the world that the Immediate cause of Infected and enlarged tonsils In most Instances la dental carles, neglected or untreated cavities In the teeth, particularly the back teeth. Normally when the mouth la closed the third molara ("wisdom" teeth) are nearly If not quite In contact with the ton sils, and so bacteria from cavities In the molars Inevitably find their way Into the openings or crypts of the tonsils. So I conclude that more and better dentistry in England would improve British tonsils no end. The United States enjoys the fin est dentistry In the world that Is. the intelligent portion of the popu lation benefits by the skill of good dentists. There are millions of peo ple In this country who are either unable to buy good dental treatment when they need it or not well enough Informed about hygiene and health to comprehend how much they need It. Dr. J. Alison Glover, medical of ficer of the ministry of health, re cently estimated that 200,000 tonsil lectomies were done annually In England (the word waa "performed," but after all, such a crude operation la more accurately described as done. If not perpetrated). He said the operation Is done as frequently among the better nurtured classes, perhaps even more frequently than amomc the poorer classes. He aald Mr T. B. Lay ton, surgeon to the throat de partment of Ouy's hospital in Lon don, had pointed out that the mor tality (death rate) of tonsillectomy was higher than was generally ap preciated. Let us linger for a moment on the death rate from the old Spanish method of snatohlng tonsils, which Man About Manhattan By GEORGE TUCKKH NEW OBLKANS. - Unlese you are o"ne of those unimaginative souls to whom custom means nothing, you must order a Ramos gin fizz the moment you ar rive in New Or leans, even be fore you chert! Into your hoti,l, for this as any one will tell you la the Deep South's most cel ebrated refresh ment. Like every thing else down here. It has a tradition and history. You must do this for the anme tuck resson that you go to the French MarHet after mid night for coffee and sourdoiuh doughtnuts. or to Galatolre'a for shrimp a la Creole, or to Antolne's for oompono or cafe brulot. You do these things because you never hope to savor New Orleans unless you do. I think if one of my friends were to visit New Orleans and come away without having a Ramos flrr.. I would avoid him thereafter as one bereft ot his eensea, I would know he was wacky, because that Is one of the things you don't do when you come to New Orleans. You don't get out of town without leaning against the Roosevelt bar and saving at least once. "A Ramos. Sim." Why is this? Dont ask me. Why do people throw coins Into wlshlnp wellO Why do you knock on wood, cross your fingers, and refuse to walk under ladders Ifa Just no of those things, like tossing your lei Into the sunset when you leave Honolulu. If you don't do It. ac cording to one school of thought, you become an untouchable an-J labor under a stigma till the end of your days. Probably he didn't know it him self at the time, but back In th "80's. when Henry C. Ramos came ! up one nlcht with something h thought might be pleasing to the palate and find favor among his guests, he had happened on a com bination of Ingredients that waj to i win a fortune and perpetuate hla ! name. It became famous and every, j body in New Orleans was trestln j their friends to the new fir. "It was not uncommon." goe the story, "for travelers to visit Ramos' famous establishment as soon as they ! arrived in New Orler.na snd before they registered at notels. The bar was the rendezvous for the beat peo ple of New Orleans and America's greatest celebrities. At one time eU'it governors were counted at the rar. And to famous became the ortg'.ntl firs that at times M bartenders or mixers were required to handle the customers who cften stood before the bar three rows deep." Time passed and Ramos paiteed on Brady, M P. TONSILLECTOMY la itill highly favored among the brass surgeons . of America. These rough and ready operators prefer the prospective victim to imagine that there la no particular danger Involved In undergoing the standard guillotine and snare tonsillectomy. Nevertheless surgical tonsillectomy Is a major op eration, whether general anesthesia or local anesthesia la used. "It la a little difficult," observes the medical officer of the ministry of health, "to believe that among the mass of tonsillectomies perform ed today all subjects for operation are selected with true discrimina tion, and one cannot avoid the con clusion that there is a tendency for the operation to be performed ("sic") as a routine prophylactic ritual for no particular reason and with no particular result." QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Bat ha for CVD Kindly tell me whether you think there la any efficacy In the baths given for high blood pressure and heart Involvement (slight) where carbon dioxide Is released In the wa ter. One doctor says they are psy chological. (C.O.L.) Answer Such baths, as given at Saratoga Springs, and at Nauhelm. or anywhere by releasing carbon di oxide gas In the water, are of rest vslue in cases of dilated heart Some times the position of the apex beat may be observed to change In the course of a single bath, showing def inite decrease In the dilation. Of course such treatment requires sup ervision of the physician. Eye Exercise I do not believe It Is an absurd Idea that eye weaknesses (Jan be cor rected by eye exercise. I have tried It and I know, (An appreciative reader). Answer I believe any Improvement In vision that occurs where such "eye exercise" Is practiced coin cidental. We must remember that variations in visual efficiency occur, sometimes for the better, In thous ands of cases Irrespective of exerclso or treatment or glasses.

But for every one sold a royalty must be paid to the son of the "master mixologist of hla time." The Capital Parade (Continued from Page One) Brothers and Montgomery were se lected. Last spring,, the accountants set to work. Their audit, completed some while ago. was based on the 1928 valuation of Commonwealth and Southern hold ings made by the then public utlll tlea commission. Bringing this valu ation down to date. Lybrand, Ross Brothers reached a figure of about 994,000.000. As Wtllkle has always placed Commonwealth and South ern's Tennessee Investment at 695. 000.000. the findings of the account ants suited him down to the ground. Utilities valuation is a fantastic ally complex subject, and there Is no Intention here to distinguish light from wrong in the clamors of the opposing sides. At the same time, it should be pointed out thst the accountants were never empowered to be arbiters, but merely sskfd to bring figures down to date as a basts of argument. It's understood that Lillenthsl promptly proceeded to argue from the figures and argue rather forcibly. His reported contentions were: That because of high Interest rate for money, and swollen payments for subsidiaries, the 94.000.000 total should be Initially reduced to 85. 000.000; snd that a further charge of 33 per cent for depreciation j-houid bring the total down to 38. 000.000 or M7.000.000. As the Ten nessee Electric Power company now ha outstanding 49.000.0o0 of bonds. S34.000.0O0 of preferred rock and common stock for which Common wealth and Southern paid 34.O00.O00 the Ul'.enthal offer meant that noth ing wou'd bt paid for common stock and very little for preferred. Wlllkle Vigo -oust y attacked tht offer, and the nruottstlons collspsed. as usual. In a barrage of charges and counter charges. No doubt there Is a s'rong element of bawisr-pychologv In the present Wlllkle-M'.lenthal break. Such things iu managed on the old Junk-shop svstem. by which the wily proprietor nf a rleatratV.e three-leceed bed will retire to h's Inner sanctum, and the anxious purchaser will rush out into the street at le.is three times l'-rfcre they make a deal. 1 Nevertheless, there are two fund a - mental questions Involved. The first, of course, Ms the desirability of the government's going so openly Into the power business as to purchase a huge privately owned system. Tnere can be no doubt that the president, Llllentbal and most other New Deal ers would like to do It. But they may fear the political repercussions. And the second Is the worth or wortniessness of utilities common stock. The president and most New Dealers think It overvalued.. The utilities men disagree. Until ' they can settle their difference, there will be no peace. Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS ITERS are some startling figures: In 1940. the number of people u.nder age 19 In the United Stater will be 43,183,000, but by 1980 the number of people under age 19 will have dropped to 39,952,000. In 1940, the number of people over age 45 will be 35,149.000, whersas by 1980 the number of people over age 45 will have RISEN to 61,858,000. By 1980, the population of the United Statea will be STATIONARY. rTPHESE figure are based upon estl- mates of population trends, as affected by probable birth rate. These estimates were announced recently by the National Research committee. Population experts are inclined to agree with their accuracy. pUTTINO It brlcily, there will be fewer young people and MORE OLD PEOPLE in :980. At presen, there are more young people than old people. 1T7HAT does It mean? Well, It " doesn't mean much right now. but It will mean a lot by 1980. Supose, for instance, you own stock In enterprises producing things used by very young people, such as babv carriages, dolls, bicycles, etc. you're all right for the present, for there are plenty of young people to sup port the market for such things. But how about 1980, when there will be more old people than young people? When that time comes, con cerns producing things used by older people will be much more profitable, because there will be more customers to buy their products. If these figures ate accurate, thire will be a shifting of Industry In the next 40 years. IT IS young people coming on who step Into the Jobs formerly held by older people. With FEWER young people coming on, there will be LESS COMPETITION for Jobs. If It Is true that younger people produce more than older people, the young people of the future will hava to produce MORE PER PERSON In order to support the larger numbet of older people. They will have to work longer hours (which Is improbable) or ma chinery will have to be more exten sively used In order to Increase out put which Is what will probably happen. T ISN'T worth while lying awake and worrying over what will be happening by 1980, for 40 years are a long time, but at least It la Inter esting to take a look now and then Into the probable future. These fig ures provide such a look. IS CHILLICOTHE. Mo. (Ft Now tha. the Missouri Anti-Thief associstion has streamlined itself It is becoming popular once more.

A decision may be announced before Tuesday. Senator McAdoo, fighting for re nomination among a field of alx, to day offered a ftl.OOO reward for "au thentic evidence about the origin or fabrication" of a card purporting to show he once was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
