B. Mussolini, the late Duce, has completed a three-day tour and inspection ot Italian troops, In snow up to his pistol pockets, ft Swiss report says. For a man, reportedly with all the leading malignant diseases, and most of the minor ills, not to mention a few mental screws loose, the Duce is doing, all right ; From various coast sections comes word "bad boys" have taken , over the management of rural schools, in one instance, deputy sheriff arriving to quell n uprising. If this keeps up, the school teacher of the future will be a combination Salpan island marine sergeant, and "Masked Marvel" wrestler, with ' university degree. In the meantime, the argument: "Should our youth be given mil itary ' training, at tender ages," Continues. If tender enough to employ goon tactics against a , pedagogue, they are tender enough to boo the bugler at 8:30 a. m. BEFTJDDLED lOtOlf (St Louis Post-Dispatch) "Senator Butler hemmed and hawed a good deal in his talk about it. He wouldn't say he was an MVA and he wouldn't say he was against It, expect that he did not think it was needed at the moment. His mental perplexity and ob fuscation were revealed by his remark that he did not see why Nebraska farmers should start growing cotton just be cause it is grown in the Ten nessee valley." e Major H. (Demon Baker) Flcwher, and Col. O. (Cannon ball) Jackson, are stationed in the Naples area of the Italian front now, and lunched togother on sphagctti cooked in olive oil recently, in the shadow of Mt Vesuvius. They are stationed 15 miles from each other, and amaxe the natives by their speed, afoot and in jeeps. e The legislature is now debet lng a survey of the tax struc ture of the state. The governor wants imported tax experts to do tho job, and the other wing favors a committee of 18 Ore gonlans. The tax experts would do a more fearless job, and not worry about what they would run for in the 1848 primary. A native committee would be like naming a jury composed of hit grandmaws and aunts, to send a juvenile delinquent to the re form school. e "Keep your hands off the bread. Its not sanitary." (Sign In county store) Frank and candid. e Some of last spring's babies are now smart enough to wink at company, causing proud Paws 10 pun and strut. e e a The Russians are now 68 miles from Berlin, causing Herr Hitler to make a speech, tell the peo ple, a horrid fate" awaits them, He further urged the peoDle to . be confident. Stockholm expects uer Fuehrer to kidnap himself, and wind up in Argentine, with his kidnapers. Never before in all history has the bullheadod ness of the Teutons been put to such a test, as they defy common sense and the Inevitable. A steel ball is not ball bear lng. The ball bearing Is compris ed of two rings between which the balls revolve and a separator wnicn holds the balls in place, The Mail-Tribune Declines We have been invited to join the drive to sustain the appointment of Henry Wallace tts successor to Mr. Jesse Jones, in the Department of Commerce. The reason? Mr. Jesse Jones is a Big Business man I Ana this important cabinet post has been under the control of a representative of Big Business and the Texas bank ing interests long enough. So kick Jesse out, put Henry in. We quote: "Let the people control through that great crusader for Kipular government and that outstanding humanitarian, enry Agard WaUaca. Can we count on your valuable support?'" .' THE answer is "no" and for the very reasons given to secure our support. What bigger business is there in the country than the business of the Com merce Department and affiliated activities like the R. F. Ct ' Then why shouldn't a "Big Business man" and a banker be in control of such a department? Would it be good sense or sound business management, to put a LITTLE business man, or a man with no busi ness or financial experience whatever, in charge of the business and financial activities of this country? WE HOLD-no particular brief for Mr. Jesse Jones. But we do believe a man who has had SOME Eractical experience in the affairs of business should andle a department of business, and a man who knows something about finance, should handle a de partment of loans and finance. VJIR' WALLACE IS a great crusader for popular government and a sincere idealist of lofty humanitarian impulses. But he knows nothing and he takes pride in knowing nothing about practical business big or little. While his grasp of the intrica cies and complexities of finance add. up to exactly zero. - Then why, in the name of Pete, insist upon putting him in a job about which he knows nothing, for which he is in no way qualified? IT MAY be true Mr. Jesse Jones has been at the Vi on rl rf V its ortfit4mflnf Inrtn -ortrtiinfli eVtrtnl-fl retire. That's ok by us let him go. His retirement is not what we oppose but his re placement by a man who is completely and utterly unqualified for the post. IF THE important thing, as President Roosevelt intimated is to give Henry a job of some sort, then give him one for which he is in some ways qualified let him take Madam Perkins place as Secretary of Labor for example. ' i Mrs. Perkins is anxious to resign and in our judg ment Henry Wallace, idealist, humanitarian, and sincere friend of the workers, would not only be ac ceptable to labor but would do a pretty good job in ttytf department. But head of American business and finance? No. The idea is absurd, contrary to all principles of efficient government, and as before stated the Mail Tribune is 100 against it. 'Hallelujah Hank'. According to Senator Pepper who sometimes knows what he is talking about Henry 'Wallace has agreed to accept the Department of Commerce post when divorced from the R.F.C. And the senate also according to the Florida senator will then endorse his appointment by a large majority. Well that is better than putting "Hallelujah Hank" in charge of federal loans, as well as American busi ness, but it doesn't change the opposition of this de partment ana shouldn't that of the senate. FOR the point of this entire affair is not political vi pciouuai. iiuo ucjjcuuiieui, ,iiH3 u very iiigii regard for Mr. Wallace as a citizen, a true liberal of the crusading radical type courageous, honest, 1a..a1 a- it.. l-i. -a m n't of vyui iu Liio puini, vi lunuucism. But he ISN'T a business man. has had no exper ience whatever in practical business affairs, and last, but far from least, he distrusts and' dislikes business especially big and successful business. THE United States has always been and is today MnnILIl . TJTTC'TXTTJ'C'O i (PL. i. this country as a whole, believe in their business sys tem, believe in the capitalistic profit-system, and while they don't deny the abuses of so-called Big Business, they want Big Business controlled not de stroyed, the American form of government adjusted to new social nonzons, not overthrown. If this is true and we believe it is then certain ly the Roosevelt administration or any other ad ministration should never place the business of the country in the hands of a man who dislikes and dis trusts and fails to understand business, but a man who not only understands business, but has faith in business; believes the government of this country should not fight business, u is wrong, and should cooperate with business, and In every letritimate wav assist it when it is rirht. nenry Wallace never would do that. He wouldn t be true to himself or his strongest convictions if he r v r a. did. CO THE New Deal feud business, which has so much harm, would certainly continue, if Mr. Wal lace is put in charge of the Department of Commerce, whether the R. F. C. is divorced from it or not. Therefore, only those who WANT such a continu ance should favor the Wallace appointment. big or little, except when . between government and already done the country NATIONAL GROUP SEEKS SKI UNIT Fl An organizational meeting to form a Medford Ski Patrol for rescue work in cooperation with the army has been scheduled tentatively for 7:30 p. m. to morrow in the Chamber of Com merce rooms, Amel P. Butler, 28 N. Barneburg, announced to day. Holding of the meeting, he said, depends upon whether L. B. Mcnab of Portland, Ore., chairman of the Pacific North west division of the National Ski Patrol, Is able to attend to ex plain the needs and processes of organization. A definite an nouncement wil be made tomor row as to whether the meeting can come off as scheduled, be said.

According to Macnab, practic ally all of the state has been covered now in the organisation of ski patrols with the exception of the Medford area. Under the national system, the patrol would receive consid erable training and would be transported and equipped by the army to the fullest extent pos sible for training problems or wnne on actual missions.
