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.

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

of Commonwealth and Southern hold
ings made by the then public utlll

ation down to date. Lybrand, Ross
Brothers reached a figure of about
994,000.000. As Wtllkle has always
placed Commonwealth and South

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

charges. No doubt there Is a s'rong element
of bawisr-pychologv In the present

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
