the state takes in comes from
John Barleycorn alcoholic bev
erages. Motor vehicle taxes ac
count for seven cents. Other
taxes bring in seven cents. And
other revenue interest, bonds,
etc., bring in the other 12 cents
which should account if the
adding machine is working effi
ciently for the 100 cents that
go into a dollar.
And where does the money
go?
The horseless carriage is re
sponsible for the biggest chunk
of the state's expenditures; 29
cents goes into highways.

Barker's Men's Store
Featured In Magazine
The modern trend to open sell
ing of men's hats is illustrated
in the February issue of Hat Life,
national magazine of the men's
hat industry, by using photo
graphs of the hat departments
of three sizes of stores and Bar
ker's of Medford is used as the
example for a small store.
The hat magazine has long ad
vocated open selling and its edi
tors maintain that hats lend
themselves to the new method
more than any other article in
the men's wear store. The com
plete application of the prin
ciple was launched by the giant
hat department of Marshall Field
and company in 1946 and the
picture of this display was used
as the outstanding example for
a large store. .
In Barker's, which has be
come known nationwide for the
many modern displays used, two
hat trees have been created
which display many hats ready
shaped for trying on and wear
ing. The trees attract attention
to Barker's hat department and
they give men the opportunity
to see and try on styles, colors
and sizes, a display method that
their wives have long enjoyed in
department and women's stores.
The Rev. George Bolster will
middle-man Act III, "Minstrel
Moderne. Each of the minstrel
acts will include a number of
specialties.
Tickets can be obtained from
McLain's Drug center and Med
ford hotel or from Kiwanians.
Medford and Ashland Kiwanians
are presenting the show. Med
ford club members will use
the proceeds for boys' and girls'
work.
Sweetland Declines
To Oppose Senator
Portland, Ore., Feb. 18 (U.R)
Monroe Sweetland, democratic
national committeeman, said to
day he has turned down a re
quest of the Multnomah county
central committee that he be a
candidate for the scat now oc
cupied by Sen. Wayne L. Morse,
republican.
Sweetland addressed a letter
to Nicholas Granet, chairman of
the Multnomah committee, de
clining to run because of his
1948 campaign pledge to "give
unqualified and undivided at
tcntion to the business of re
establishing a vital democratic
party in Oregon."
"The time may come when
the party organization will be
sufficiently secure to permit its
leaders to be candidates," Sweet
land wrote. "At this time, in
my opinion, Oregon's democra
tic officials should tend strictly
to party housekeeping."
Mrs. C. B.Parfch
Named Chairman of
Easter Seal Sale
Jackson county's chairman for
the annual Easter Seal sale by
the Oregon Society for Crippled
Children and Adults will be Mrs.
C. B. Partch of Medford, accord
Ing to an announcement received
from Jesse Rosenbaum of La
Grande, society president.
Rosenbaum said the sale, the
fourth sponsored by the society
in Oregon, will be held from
March 9 through Easter Sunday,
April 9. More than 400.000 resi
dents of the state will receive
Easter seals through the mail,
he stated.
In announcing Mrs. Partch's
appointment, Rosenbaum urged
the people of Jackson countv to
support the sale, stating 'that
the funds derived from Easter
seals will do much to assist the
physically handicapped persons
of the state, adults as well as
children."
"There arc thousands of crip,
pled children and adults in Ore
gon who need the help from
Easter seals because they are
not eligible for assistance from
any other agency, public or pri
vate," Rosenbaum said. "The
society is not .interested in
whether a child's 'or adult's con
dition is the result of an acci
dent or any one of more than
20 crippling diseases, but onlv
in whether the person needs as
jistance and cannot obtain it, the
president reported.
