OCTOBER TO APRIL!
Before we forget it, another floral horseshoe must be hung
about the sturdy neck of the Green Mountain state. We were
charmed by the trip to Bennington, but from Bennington to the
Canadian border, words completely failed. For a large portion of
the time, the train skirted the shores of Lake Champla.n (which
u ifrmr.H i.c is the laraest lake in the United States,
j , i., .h. r.r,..-,t Lakes no doubt he is right), and with the
fall colors on one side and this beautiful lake on the other, the
scene was something to write home about. What a place to spend
the summer,-but the lake residences are closed now, although
there was one large sail boat, bent far over under a stiff breeze,
scurrying across the whitccaps, like a wild goose going places.
The Canadian customs are more particular here than in the
Puget Sound area, our typewriter coming in for a great deal of
attention. We finally talked them out of charging us $7 however
for the privilege of packing it from Montreal to Vancouver. We
had to produce newspaper credentials to do so. Business men
who take in their typewriters, have to contribute that amount to
the Canadian treasury. As it was they had to fill out an elaborate
permit, so there will be no trouble cn route or when we enter
the USA We were two hours late reaching Montreal, which
knocked our schedule into a cocked hat. Well so it goes! Seeing

we were prepared for a sort of enlarged Victoria. Montreal is no
more like Victoria than Paris is like London. In fact after 24
hours we have yet to hear an Oxford accent, or see a typical
r.,nhmnr, A PvPi-v.mo on the coast knows, Victoria is packed
with both. On all sides one hears French and sees Frenchmen
,.,m,.r, nnr station Dorter was French, ditto the taxi driver,
and when we registered at the hotel the clerk was talking French i
with the man in line before us. This goes also for the hotel j
waiters, bellboys and chambermaids. So don't come to Montreal
looking for a job unless you can speak French. It's a bi lingual
community with French predominating.
One would never suspect Canada to be at war. We have seen
two or three small troops in khaki, marching up the street, without
flags, bands or even drums, some of the soldier boys in street
clothes. They march by unnoticed by the crowds. And while all
in all they are a sturdy looking lot, there is nothing martial about
them. There also are sentries marching before the armory day
and night, and a single one standing at attention in front of the
Royal Canadian Hussars. The most striking feature about these
volunteers of 1939, is their YOUTH, they don't look in their 20's
but in their teens. At least those we have seen. One can't see
them without a certain sinking feeling in the vicinity of the
solar plexus. .
It is all quite different from 1914 when your correspondent
happened to be In Victoria, B. C. There was a martial note in the j
air, night and day, at that time. The "Empress" at tea time was j
brilliant with officers, exceedingly alert and handsome ones,
particularly the Scotch Highlanders. Gaiety and excitement were
in the air. Out at the race track, the soldiers were in training,
the general air of youthful vigor and enthusiasm suggested a col
lege football practice field at the start ot the season, only instead
of TACKLING the "dummy" those lads were plunging COLD
STEEL into him!
No doubt there are soldiers in similar training here now, but ,
that exciting, stimulating, thrilling atmosphere has gone and our ,
guess is, this is true not only here but throughout Canada.
As a newspaper man here in Montreal expressed it to the j
writer only a tew moments ago: "TWO wars are ONE too many
In ONE generation!" j
Then, as before noted, Montreal isn't English, its French,
only 35 of this city's population is Anglo-Saxon, while in the
province of Quebec the percentage is around 201 As the cabby said
this morning (Montreal has real russet-cheeked cabbies and one
horse victorias, which take you up to Ml. Royal park where motor
cars are not allowed) "This would be a great place if there
weren't so many Frenchmen." Ho had an Irish brogue you could

Mr. Cleland gives the impres
sion that the $30,000 bond issue
will take care of the entire de
velopment and that $3.75 a
thousand will pay off the in
debtedness in six years. Unfor
tunately this is not the case as
these figures overlook the cost
of development, and more im
portant, the cost of operation
and maintenance. They also
overlook the fact that reliable
estimates Dlace the cost of such
a park nearer $50,000 than $30,-
000. Proponents say mat me
WPA will pay for the develop
ment, but there Is no certainty
about this at all. They insist
that the cost of operation and
maintenance will be so little that
it will be almost negligible. In
fact, Mr. D. D. Davis says In a
letter to the Tribune that the
per capita cost is "almost nil."
All this is, of course, absurd.
Just have a look at the proposed
city budget for 1940 as it ap
pears In the Sunday Tribune. It
calls for $5,223.35 for mainte
nance of parks and playgrounds.
That, for our present parks. Your
guess is as good as mine as to
the maintenance cost of one cov
ering 17 acres. Of one thing you
may be certain. It will not be
almost negligible or "almost
nil."
About eight months ago you
will recall a meeting of the tax
payers and business men which
was held at the county court
house auditorium. Its purpose
was to protest the high taxes in
Medford. The committee ap
pointed by the Chamber of Com
meree to investigate the situa
tion reported that the only way
to reduce taxes was to stop
spending money and stop voting
in additional bond issues. I won
der what, became of that com
mittee.
So folks, if you don't want to
increase a tax burden that
already back-breaking, go to the
polls and vote against this bond
issue. If we are going to call a
halt to reckless municipal plan
ning and thoughtless spending,
let's do it now. Let's quit grum
bling about high taxes and do
something about it! Let's vote
NO on this one.
Very truly yours.

Washington. Oct. 30. When
the president decided to remove
wage-hour administrator, inner
F. Andrews, he gave Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins the
task of finding a suitable suc
cessor. Miss Perkins, always
thorough, gathered a smau
group of new dealish advisers,
discussed the matter at length.
and finally managed to evolve
set of standards for the auso-
lutely ideal man. The Perkins
naraeon was required to be non

another, he was the manager of the

he was one of Harold Ickes' top

Mild In appearance, he can be

his PWA dnys, he was once faced
with trouble over a transit tunnel
In Philadelphia. PWA Inspectors said
the contra-tor was not using enougn
cement. The contractor and local of
ficials plaintively denied the charge.
Fleming, annoyed by the fruitless
controversy. Jumped Into his car,
drove to Philadelphia, tested the ce
ment himself, and told the contrac
tor and local officials to go to hell.
There was considerable uproar, but
Fleming would take no argument
and ahut off money supplies. Such
decisive action may seem a trifle
ministrator Raver, of Bonne
ville, is arranging to furnish the
Seattle municipal plant with
needed power. Present installa
tion of the Seattle plant is in
sufficient and to generate more
power another dam is necessary.
A dam is costly and to avoid
this outlay Seattle is to be sup
plied with energy from Bonne
ville. This is one of the heavy
loads, needed by Bonneville,
now in contemplation.
Whether the Bonneville ad
ministrator will attempt to dic
tate the resale rate by the Se
attle plant is not stated. When
Bonneville legislation was being
drafted, Senator Homer T. Bone.
Washington, said that Seattle
was not interested in Bonneville
as the Skagit could develop as
much power as the plant in the
Columbia river.

This insignificant writer dis
agrees with that believing that
President Roosevelt's sympa

get us into the war on their
side unless restrained by a mili

The European situation is a j

SOMETHING to think about
and KEEP ON thinking
about:
In less than four months of
the present fiscal year (which
began July 1) the United States
treasury has spent $3,040,436,

$1,686,004,851.
Note that in these four months
we have spent nearly TWICE
AS MUCH as we have taken In.
WHEN will this reckless
snondine stop? Not until
the people of the United States
begin to DEFEAT SPENDERS
and ELECT TIGHTWADS.

Unfortunately for Miss Per

scarcely been sketched in when
the president rendered all her
efforts fruitless by naming a
friend of his own. The new ad
ministrator, as everyone knows,
is Lieutenant Colonel Philip B.
