PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1939. HIGH COURT HOLDS GOUNTTWARRANTS Municipal Laws Setting up Censorship Through Li cense Declared Invalid. Washington, Nov. 22. (Pi The supreme court held today a municipal ordinance requiring a "censorship through license which makes impossible the free and unhampered distribution of pamphlets strikes at the very heart of the constitutional guar antees " This assertion was made by Justice Roberts In an (opinion holding unconstitutional three municipal ordinances prohibit ing the distribution of handbills on the streets, and a fourth or dinance prohibiting the canvass ing of homes for the sale of booklets, without first obtaining a permit from the chief of po lice. Justice McRcynolds dis sented. The ordinance prohibiting canvassing was applied by Irv ington, N. J. Those prohibiting the distribution of handbills and circulars were passed by Mil waukee, Los Angeles and Wor cester, Mass. No Censorship Right. "Conceding," Roberts said, "that fraudulent appeals may be made in the name of charity and religion, we hold a munici pality cannot, for this reason, require all who wish to dissem inate ideas to present them first to police authorities for their consideration and approval, with discretion in the police to say tome Ideas may, while others may not, be carried to the homes of citizens; some persons may, while others may not dissemin ate lnformaiton from house to house. "Frauds may be denounced as offenses and punished by law. Trespasses may similarly be for bidden. "If it is said that these means are less efficient and conveni ent than bestowal of power on police authorities to decide what information may be dissemin ated from house to house, and who may impart the informa tion, the answer is that consid erations of this sort do not em power a municipality to abridge freedom of speech and press." OF ARE UPDATED (Continued trom Fae One.) linquencics caused by the de pression. These things put the county's fiscal affairs into the red, Judge Day emphasized. To liquidate a public debt of more than $307,0000 in less than four years in these times is viewed by fiscal experts as a real accomplishment. Judge Day pointed to a number of factors involved In the debt liquidation: rigid but not foolish economy, savings on t(ie budgets which were accumulated, O-C revested land payments and improve ments in tax payments. Interest Saved The budget and other savings, Judge Day pointed out, were cumulative in effect. These sav ings permitted other savings. For example, since Mr. Day has become county Judge, $90,000 has been utilized in purchasing the uncallable road bonds, this Investment saving the county about $35,000 in interest over the period the bonds had to run to maturity. The November 20 balance sheet shows outstanding permanent road bonds of $188, 000 but against this are credits of $105,400.08, leaving the net road bonded debt only $22.- 339.84. Judge Day distributed credit for the present fiscal showing among all county officers. There has been complete harmony on fiscal policies in the county court and all other county offi cers have cooperated fully not only in remaining within their budgets but in working i for economies without sacrificing efficiency, Judge Day asserted. "Without that full-hearted co operation, nothing could be ac complished," the judge declared.

Gault, hotel engineer, lighted a match over the basement sump and fumes ignited in his face, singeing his eyebrows. Water seeps into the sump and is then pumped out. The following week Gault and Bill Fredenburg, a bellboy, were burned when fumes again were ignited as an electric pump in the sump was moved. Chief Roy Elliott was of the opinion that a spark from the electric pump caused the blaze and that is why a siphon replaced the electric device. Meantime a careful check was made in nn effort to find the source of the inflammable liquid and for a time it was thought the leak had been traced to a gasoline tank at the Lewis Super I Service station just above the Who's Wrong In This Picture?

How wise are those who go to neither extreme . . . those who can give work and responsibility their full share and then turn to wcll-dcscrved recreation. For it is in these hours of relaxation that your family enjoys your companionship. By living a balanced life you build friend ships and develop the art of hospitality. Temperate in all things, you come to a full realization that the world abounds with people and ways to make life invit ing, colorful and more worthwhile.

The service station man agement cooperated and a great deal of digging was done to find and repair the leak. But, it was brought out last night, the seep age of the inflammable fluid in to the hotel basement has con tinued. Safety Steps Taken Mr. Neff said that the hotel had gone to considerable ex pense in making the basement safe and to this end had installed a blower to blow fumes out. It was brought out also that the management had erected a fire wall, fire door and ventilator in the basement to attain the ut most safety. City Superintendent Fred W. Seheffel was of the opinion that leak of gasoline or cleansing solvent had occurred some where early last August and that the last of it would be flushed from the ground when the heavy fall rains came. Mean time Chief Elliott said he had sent a sample of the fluid to a Shell Oil company chemist for analysis. "Trespass, Nuisance" Mr. Neff referred to the seep age as a " nuisance and a 'tres pass." A report of operations sub mitted by -Thomas A. Culbert- son, Jr., airport superintendent, and read by Councilman J. Frank Rcinhart showed that the municipal airport was utilized by 224 planes in October. The planes were classified as fol lows: J 65 United Air Lines, 34 U. S. army, 5 U. S. navy, 2 na tional guard, 3 U. S. coast gua.'v and 15 private. Upon the recommendation of Gewge T. Frey for the finance committee, the council voted to accept the offer of Knox & D'Al- bini of $350 for an audit to be completed by next May. WPA Allotment Attorney Farrell read a letter from Congresman James W. Mott who said he had been in formed that the works project administration had made an al lotment of $2350 to replace storm sewer pipe on Ninth street. The project was now eli gible for operation at the discre tion of the state administrator. Mr. Mott wrote, and he advised the council to get in touch with E. J. Griffith, state administra tor. The council adopted an ordi nance for the codifying and in dexing of all city ordinances as a WPA job through the League of Oregon Cities, setting aside S500 as the city's share of the expense. , Councilmen H. -S. Deuel and J. F. Eriekson were absent. Change in Thanksgiving Day Confuses Roosevelt Family Washington, Nov. 22. (TP) About half the country will ob serve Thanksgiving Day tomor row, but the confusion which followed President Roosevelt's decision to advance the custom ary date has extended right into his own family. The chief executive and the first lady will have their turkey dinner tomorrow night at the Warm Springs, Ga., foundation for infantile paralysis patients. Some of their children, however, will observe both tomorrow's holiday and the one proclaimed by governors in some states for November 30. James Roosevelt, the Presi dent's eldest son, will celebrate in New York tomorrow and then go to Massachusetts, which has selected the traditional last Thursday in November. Mi. and Mrs. John Roosevelt also will have their turkey at Nahant, Mass., on the "second Thanksgiving." The governor of Texas pro claimed both Thursdays as a holiday, so Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt will have two din ners at their ranch near Fort Worth. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., will have tur key tomorrow at their cottage in Charlottesville, Va., but next week they will have guests for Thanksgiving recess of the Uni versity of Virginia. The last time a President and he was a Republican broke the Lincoln tradition of having Thanksgiving on No vember's last Thursday, no cal endar manufacturers complain ed, no football schedules were upset, no Christmas business boom was anticipated. President Grant just said that, whereas the country had been prosperous and free of pestil ence and peaceful, he would "recommend that Thursday, the 8th day of November next, be observed" as a day of Thanks giving in 1869.
