The Soviet foreign minister
caused some resentment through
out the land by charging in a
Moscow speech the repeal of the
arms embargo was "only a mask
to cover their struggle for prof

of munitions, airplanes, and
other vital necessities of war
ennnot be expected to put up
much of a struggle, Just to break

Pub li s e A
Ham and Eggs Is Done
AS everyone know you can't make an omelet without cracking
gg-
But the people of California yesterday made an omelet out of
the Ham-and-Egg proposal, a Ham omelet without cracking
any heads.
Which i all to their credit.
In fact yesterday witnessed the perfect functioning of our
highly prized democracy, in two Commonwealths, California and
Ohio. And on very much the same proposition, that we can't
legislate prosperity by taking money out of the pockets of one
group and placing it in the pockets of another.
BY vote of nearly two to one, the people of California said
"no", It can't be done, and shouldn't be done!
By even a larger vote, approximately 3 to 1, the people of Ohio
said the same thing.
The usual post-election alibis and squawks will be heard from
the disgruntled leaders of the defeated forces.
These will all come under the general heading of the "common
people" have been betrayed and thwarted and again ground down
by the forces of corruption and capitalistic grcedl
BUT this is not the case. And none know this better than those
who maintain it, the shrewd and practical leaders of the
"somethingfor-nothlng" crusades.
For yiey know, as all competent observers know, that the
"common people" decided these two elections, as they decide all
elections, where the issues are so clear-cut, and the majorities are
so large, elections can't be won without them.
WHICH sustains a contention frequently made in this depart
ment, but often denied.
That these various and sundry proposals to raise ourselves by
our financial boot-straps, while appealing invariably to a certain
minority, fail to stand up wherever or whenever they are isolated
from other issues, and presented clearly and honestly to the
American people.
And there is nothing obscure about the reason, i.e.: you can
fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool a majority
of the American people at ANY time. Bring your easy money
scheme out into the daylight, and regardless of the ballyhoo, the
lure of the hoochy-koochy, or the din of the Kickapoo war dance,
the man-in-the-street, the average, unassuming John Citizen,
U. S. A. sees through the camouflage, quickly detects the gilt on
the gold brick, and gives the hard working "barker" nothing for
his pains but a horselaugh.
In other words, in spite of certain streamlined and air-cooled
improvements, Uncle Sam remains at heart, the shrewd, canny
Yankee he has always been, and when anything phoney is pre
sented to him and he is given a fair chance to size it up, he refuses
to be hoodwinked, In fact no other citizen in the world is harder
to hoodwink. Regardless of what may happen he retains his cool
head and solid common-sense.
AND while everyone knows there are thousands of perfectly
honorable and honest citizens, who sincerely believe In these
various pension schemes to bring on the millenium, and will no
doubt continue to believe in them, the MAJORITY of the Ameri
can people don't, and whenever they are given a chance to express
their views at the polls, they make no bones about saying they
don't.
The Lessons They Taught
WE trust this double defeat, In widely separated parts, jf the
country, will do something to clear the atmosphere, and
Induce some of our fellow citizens who are disposed to spend most
of their time, looking for the pot-of-gold-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow,
to stop and examine their hole card, look into the proposal thHt
has allured them for so long, with a little more care and attention.
For after all, Is It reasonable to believe, the people of Cali
fornia or Ohio, are any less anxious to improve their condition,
than the people elsewhere? In both cases extended campaigns were
conducted, all the facts pro and con were revealed, and the usual
wonderful things were promised.
YET In one state the people voted two to one "no" and in
the other three to onell Why? Because when the facts of the
proposal were made clear, the people as a whole realized that its
passage would not benefit them or the state, but injure both.
WE realize how difficult it sometimes is to remove a delusion
deeply planted, carefully nurtured, and even more Import
ant one that answers a genuine need. j
But as Governor Olson of California said: "The result of yester- '
day's election emphasizes the necessity of evolving a practical and '
adequate system of old age security that will WORK." I
Certainly the Governor of California is no "tool of the money ,
buroiiB", is In fact, most sympathetic with the purposes of old age ,
assistance, and extremely liberal in all his social and economic
views. i
If this pension proposal WOULD have done what Its supporters
claimed, certainly Governor Olson would have been the first to
favor it. For social betterment is his passion, and such an advance
under his administration would have been so clearly to his
political self-interest. 1
But he knew the proposal If adopted, would not benefit the
state of California, but ruin it, his courageous leadership for the
opposition being one of the important causes of Its defeat.
SO we hope very much that those who still believe, that trans
ferring money from one pocket to another is a method of
increasing wealth, will study the results m California and Ohio
carefully, and learn the lesson they so plainly tench. Such study,
should save them great waste In time and energy, and sooner or
later, severe disappointment.
Not Smart, Just Dumb
"CERTAINLY If the delightful concert at the Holly last night.
doesn't assure the success of the remainder of the current
musical "series", then nothing can.
Before the gifted Viennese, O.wy Renardy appeared, the com
plaint was frequently heard that the series represented an effort
to put over two unknown and Inferior artists, on the prestige and
popularity of one, Marlon Anderson, the famous colored con
tralto. This allegation was emphatically denied by those supporting
the series, who knew better. But Judging by the ticket sales a
certain and sizable skepticism remained.
Now those who really appreciate good music and failed to
attend last night's concert are kicking themselves all over the
townsite and with good reason. They thought they were being
smart, and were only being dumb. A more entirely charming
violin recital has never been heart in southern Oregon, and we
doubt if one ever will be. Those who missed it, missed a musical
treat of truly surprising proportions.
A word to the wise SHOULD be sufficient. It will take the
S. R. O. sign at both the Donald Dickson and Marian Anderson
concerts, to prove that as far as "Musical Medford" is concerned,
It IS!

CONTAGION
We wonder whether anything
can be done, writes a reader, to
woolen clothing, sweaters, coats,
s h i r ts, stock-
i n g s, hats,
shoes, etc.
which have
been worn by
a person who
had tube rcu
losis, to make
them safe for
another person
to wear. An
other reader
advises that a
dictionary
mignthave
helped me to give a lucid dis
tinction between contagious and
infectious. My explanation, the
reader suggests, was merely an
attempt to allay fear of infec
tion with tuberculosis. As
suredly tuberculosis Is a perfect
example of an infectious disease,
but from what I wrote who in
heck would know why?
In reply to the first query,
ordinary laundering washing
with plain soap and water, and
ironing clothes that may be
ironed, will make the clothing
perfectly safe for any one to
wear. A day's airing and sun
ning, if any sunshine available,
will make the hats, shoes, gloves,
furs perfectly safe. Dry clean
ing will make any clothing not
washable in water, safe.
There Is no better disinfectant
or antiseptic than soap and
water, especially hot water. Of
course boiling sterilizes any
thing. Ironing does, too.
Sterilize means to render free
from germs. Antiseptic is any
agent that diminishes or discour
ages the growth and multiplica
tion of germs. Disinfection
means destruction of disease
germs or their carriers (insect
or vermin).
Infection means invasion of
body tissues by disease germs.
Contagion is one mode of infec
tion, the transfer of infection by
contact, immediate or mediate,
with the sick. Mediate conta'gion
is infection by contact with per
sons or objects that have been
In contact with the sick.
As the reader mentions, tuber
culosis is infectious, but actual
contact with the sick is not es
sential for Infection to occur
Like all the other common res
piratory infections (such as diph
theria, measles, pneumonia, in
fluenza, whooping cough, prob
ably smallpox and chicken pox),
tuberculosis infection occurs, as
a rule, by droplet or spray in
fection. That is to say, the germs
are conveyed from the sick lo

Invisibly fine droplets) of mois

feared it might. Yet a decidedly
new spirit is in evidence.
On tht .one hand, most of th
major Rooptrveltlan reform have at
Inst bwn accepted by business men.
Except for th national labor relations
act, bmliieM men seem to feel that
the new' dral laws have come to
On the other hand, at the treasury,
the SEC. the .eommere department,
the White Houa& Itself and In many
other Important governmental cen
ters, there Is anew tendency to call
Mislneas men Into consultation and
make tvr of their services.. It Is
foolish to he pollyannalnh; the truce
may dissolve Into a furtoua con tro
ve rsey tomorrow. But it would oe
equally fooltsh to ignore the new
spirit above-mentioned.
This phenomenon ts best Illustrated
by HaneV struggles with the tax
problem, for the very reason that
hitherto taxes have always been the
sorest point of friction between the
administration and buslnew men.
In the days of Herman Ollphant, tax
mutter were approached rather in
th spirit of Judge Jeffries' bloody
iwtws. The stake, the duckln-stoot
and the whipping post were not In
use. but the btiMnesa men seemed
to feel that Ollphant had discovered
some pretty snbstltutex. In the shape
of the undistributed corporate prof
it tax. the soak -the-rich Income
taxes and e strict capital gains
tax. 8t.-m:tt!wousl7. congressional
opposition strengthened against the
O'lphsntine tax weapons, and Hsnes
came to the treasury. Moment hau
and Hanes between them evolved a
theory that, so lone, a the revenue
flowed In. it waa well to make the
revenue producer as happy as pos
sible With this end in view. Hanes
and his boas produced their tax re
vision program on last year.
Thrn, however, the new spirit ot
r-;ntimss to business had not fully
. .-. ittrd the ad. .tit: titration, and
ropec.tily the Whit House. The ,
president, tttu fearful of the appear
ance of compromise, was decidedly
balky. Morgenthau had nailed his
colon to the mast. Hants waa ready
to retlgn If necessary. The Issue
might have been drawn, and moder
ation banished even from the tresa
ury. If senator Pat Harrison and
other congressional leaders had not
firmly backed the treasury. The
contrast between past and present
becomes all the ttronger, when you
realise that the new Hanea tax plana
ara expected to be more or less un
opposed. Of themselves, the Hanea plans
are technical, ind not overly stirring
except to tha business men whom
they may affect. Hanea. the real
leader la bettering government busi
ness relations,, has prepared them
after elaborate consultation with
more than three hundred outstanding
men of every business class.
As currently drawn, they call for:
Reinstating the old system of con
solidated returns by corporations and
their subsidiaries, In order to make
tax-figuring easier; 3. Establish
ment of a policy of asset-depreciation
uniform with the policies of
tlon uniform with the policies of the
regulatory agencies, and 8. Minor
amplifications of tha tax laws to
make them clearer and to reduce
the Innumerable tax suits against
tha government. There Is also the
usual recommendation. Just for the
look of the thing, of reducing Indi
rect taxation and Increasing direct
to make up.
Minor attacks on these proposals
may come from several quarters. For
example, consolidated corporate re
turns were abolished In the first
place on the demand of John K.
Garner, then In an anti-Wall street
mood. But tha real test of the new
government-business spirit will be
whether the new deal group, previ
ously most unfriendly to the Hanea
tax theories, decides to fly to the
attack.
Among the new dealers, there has
been caaual talk of war profit taxes,
higher capital galna levies, and the
like. If thla talk matures, real op.
position to Hanea's program Is like
ly to develop with It. The tax prob
lem Is certainly the most likely sub
ject for a major domesttc contro
versy. But still, as of today, the
auguries for peace appear to be fair
ly promising.

YALE'S COACHES
OF

lP) Yale's football coachlne
staff had no employment wor
ries today, even if nine erst
while first string players were
looking for work, so far as con

A precedent-breaking, mid-

made this definite.
"There will be no change in
our football coaching," he said.
"The coaching staff is very good
and will be retained, win, lose
or draw."
The statement had a quieting
effect on the Yale football sit

Monday when head coach Ducky
Pond, angered at the team's los

The Future.
(By Russell Mitchell.)
Once poor man has taken to the
ground.
To find in Mother Earth secur
ity Not now from animal ferocity.
Far greater dangers to him now
abound,
For men on wings the men on
foot surround.
Wings rob high walls of all their
surety.
Past soldiers fought and died to
hold a pass.
Now swords are helpless against
poison gas.
With airplanes attacking peo
ple's homes.
And killing women, girls and
men alike.
All roofs must soon become
round concrete domes.
Constructed to deflect a direct
strike.
The most destructive thing in
old Mars' train
The most ferocious thing is an
airplane.
II
The landscape stretches to the
distant blue;
White concrete roads, alive, be
neath thp trnoe
Short spurs are seen which lead
away from these.
No cities anywhere obstruct the
view.
And railroads, seemingly, are all
too few.
Rectangle plots laid out in lines
that please, --"
Reveal that landing fields are
scattered wide.
Where cities stood now peace
ful countryside.
Large cities flourish underneath
the ground.
Electric lights replace the day's
bright sun.
Tall chimneys belching smoke
are nowhere found;
An outside life is too great risk
to run.
But life goes on as gay and free
OPlOW,
For Mother Earth protects from
missile's blow.
