Several Items on Uncle Sam's Tax List May Soon Cost Less Money Washington, June 24. (U.R) A ticket to the movies may cost you a nickel les before long. And the price you pay for a handbag, an alarm clock, auto mobile tire or railroad ticket may be coming down a little, too. The reason is that Congress at last seems to be on its way to cutting federal excise taxe. These are the taxes the govern ment collects from rich and poor alike on certain item. Many people call these sales taxe. But whatever the nam, you pay the tax whenever you buy one of the Items on Uncle Sam' tax list. Congress isn't going to re movs these taxe altogether. But it I showing sign of cut MAIL TRIBUNE Reapportionment Efforts to bring about reapportionment of sen ators and representatives to the state legislature, and the charges and counter charges being hurled by up state advocates of the two oroDosed Dlans have failed sc far to create any particular stir in Jackson county's political waters. THE apathy hereabouts tViinrra yiqivi1v 1. Most of us have not paid enough attention to the matter; 2. Have become so confused by the multiplicity of names for the two proposals and the conflicting claims that we have consigned the matter to the file and fortret basket": or 3. Inasmuch as under would have the same number of senators ana repre sentatives as at present, reapportionment has not seemed particularly important, locally. IT is regrettable that so little interest has been mani foat fnr tho rennnnrtinnmenr. nuestion holds a num ber of maior implications Concentration of legislative voting power in the thickly populated centers is a possibility to be avoid ed and gerrymandering, that is grouping counties into districts for. the advantage oi one ponucai party or the other, is also a possible and undesirable complication. PETITIONS now being the proposals on the them as the "balanced plan," and tne -population plan." The former is mainlv suDDorted by the State Farm Bureau and many county Grange chapters and has the official approval of ganization. N BRIEF, the balanced plan would give each coun ty one member in the lower house, with the senate apportioned according to population. The remaining 24 members of the house would also be chosen ac cording to population. At present there are only 30 state senators. Under the balanced plan there would be 36. The balanced plan provides that no one county shall have more than one-fourth of the legislative membership in either house and it limits consolida tion of sparsely-populated counties in one senatorial district to three. Counties so consolidated must be contiguous. THE "population plan" which would have senate and house seats apportioned on the basis of popu lation and would limit a county to one-third of the legislative membership, has democratic favor, is backed by the Farmers' Union, AFL and CIO groups and at least a segment of the Multnomah county Young Republicans. (")NLY the names of registered voters will count on the reapportionment petitions and voters may sign both petitions, if they so desire. Each petition must have about 26,000 valid signatures. County clerks will check the names against voting records and the petitions must be filed with the secretary of state before July 6. TT is predicted that both plans will gain enough sig- natures to insure a place on the general election ballot and should they do so voters at that time can mark their "X" for either, both, or neither. Although the Oregon legislature is required by the state constitution to reapportion itself each 10 years after the federal census, no such action has been taken since 1911. E.C.F. Welcome, Letter Carriers Medford is delighted to play host this wk-end to the Oregon convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers and their Ladies Auxiliary. The mail man is always welcome, you know, except pos sibly just after the first of the month. TT IS OUR hope that the organization's officials and delegates from throughout the state and the color ful and tuneful Letter Carriers band from Portland, enjoy their visit. Special consideration has been promised by the weather man he wasn't too cooperative during the recent Lions convention. But even if the meteorologi cal wizard should nod again, we feel sure the boys who pack the mail will go about their convention as they do their daily task at home where, to paraphrase Herodotus: "Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night stays their appointed rounds."

For a family of four that would amount to a cut of $30 about enough to buy father a present able summer suit. The government now collects about S7.6O0.0O0.OO0 a year from all excise taxes. Some are paid directly by you, the consumer. The 20 per cnt tax on your movie ticket, for example, or the 13 per cent tax on the railroad or bus tick et you buy.

"Tick" Malarkay When Leonard Harvey Camp, Central Point, was reelected state chaplain in Eugene at the Disabled American War Veter an convention week before last. he accepted this office perhaps in lieu of being elected state commander of the group. There Is little doubt that if he had wanted the office he could have been elected had he chosen to be a serious candidate. However, the popular Central Point min ister felt he could be of greater service in the chaplaincy for an other year. State Chaplain Camp was born In Nebraska, Apr. 19, 1897. He enlisted in the army from that state June 2, 1918, and serv ed in France with the 83 rd divis ion where he was disabled. Re turned to the states, he was dis charged Aug. 24, 1919. In Sep tember of that year Mr. Camp entered theological training and was graduated from Cotner col lege and Minnesota Bible uni versity at Minneapolis. Like Chaplain Feller of Roseburg VA hospital he had the call to the ministry after a war disability. Mr. Camp is known through out the nation for his work in a memorial service for the war dead. An Astorian has finally arriv ed on the scene. William Pouttu is here. He is one of those American-born Finnlander who is hardly able to speak his mother tongue. In the early days Bill was a gillnetter on the Col umbia. Pouttu is a Greybeard of World War I and likes every thing he has seen to date of Camp White and Medford. Fishing the Rogue river from a boat Thursday evening, Paul A. Hatton, manager, and Burt Sims, engineer, each landed a salmon. Hatton connected with a "Jack" and the Chinook boated by Sims dressed out at 18 pounds. In addition both men took a limit of trout on flies. The "Bamboo" club will be the guests of the Red Cross and the United Spanish War Veter ans auxiliary Tuesday afternoon at the Stanley branch beyond Eagle Point. Transportation and drivers will be furnished oy the Medford chapter of the Red Cross. Fifty members will be taken on a picnic to Tou Vellc park Sunday afternoon by a group of people from Fall River, Cat., headed by Tei Lei Ming, who before her marriage was in radio and movies, plus USO shows during the war years. Miss Ming, an American born Chinese, is very popular at Camp White and has appeared here before In con cert. The picnic is the result of her promise to the boy last win ter when she brought a show to Rocrcntio.i hall. Alice Prall, district field sup ervisor of the Red Cross, San Francisco, visited at the station with Miss Charlotte Rogers for three days last week in her of ficial capacity. From here Miss Prall was to go to Roicburg. Portland and Barnes VA hospi tals. She is amazed with the im provements made t Camp White since her last visit six months ago. Recent visitor of the Allan Henderson home were Mr and Mrs Charles Trumbull and Iheii children from Forest Grove.

They were accompanied on the Journey by "Jere" Girard, editor of White's paper, Dominews. The Cooties and the Lady Bug were putting on a social hour and Travelogue pictures in the Recreation hall Friday night. We were introduced to Alice and Merrill Breneka and while Alice was in the kitchen helping dish up refreshments "Ben" got to talking. He Is a veteran of both wars. "Ben" went to France In 1917 with Battery C, 148th field ar tillery and was on five different fronts. His home has been Med ford for 13 years and he la cus todian at the court house. It was good to visit with him and particularly good to hear from his own lips Just what hap pened at Chateau Thierry when Private Gerald A. Malarkey was killed by a shell burst. Gerald and "Ben" were good friends and Gerald was this writer' kid brother. When Sam Butturff, chief of the personnel department, takes up his duties Monday morning after two weeks spent in the de fense of his country at Fort Lewis, no doubt he will ask why his instructions to the entire de partment were not fulfilled. Be fore his departure he left the following office memo: "1. During the ensuing two weeks period while your boys are at the front fighting for you who have remained in the se curity of your respective homes, there will be many comfort items which your fighting men will need and which will be scarce in their field of opera tion. You will, of course, it is assumed, wish to send them box es including items at frequent Intervals. "2. Appropriate gift arc cur rency (all denominations, pref erably U. S.), spiritou liquors (all types), cigarettes, chewing gum, knit sweaters, sox, candy and hand painted neckties. "3. Be sure that they are care fully wrapped and plainly ad dressed. You may be sure that as these small tokens are being used, those in the front will be thinking of those in the rear. "Sam Butturff. "Armed Forces of the U. S." MOVIE ADS BANNED New York.

S-2II M-217 In the Day's By FRANK JENKINS John Foster Dulles, addressing the American Chamber of Com merce in Tokyo makes this flat statement: "THE 'CAPTIVE WORLD' OF COMMUNISM IS TOO WEAK NOW TO SEEK WAR WITH THE FREE WORLD." SUPPORTING his statement, he cited these basic weaknesses of the communist world: 1. It is weak politically be cause It i ruled from the top and has no broad popular sup port. 2. It is shot through with dis trust and suspicion. NO ONE in the communist world, even in high authority, feels safe. 3. It is weak economically, even after 30 year of "five-year plans." The U. S. has a S-to-1 ad vantage in steel production, 5-to-1 in aluminum, 6-to-l In electric power, 8-to-l in crude oil. rULLES added: U "The gap indicated by these figures IS STEADILY GROW ING IN FAVOR OF THE UNITED STATES." IS all this "cold war" tuff we're being bombarded with bunk? No-o-o-o. Dulles puts It this way: ' "The immediate danger to free countries is that they may be taken over from within by SMALL, DISCIPLINED COM MUNIST MINORITIES." a assume that on that point he must be speaking of coun tries other than the United States. Smaller, less stable coun tries, I mean. I simply can't be lieve that AS OF NOW the United States of America could be taken over from within by a small, disciplined communist minority.") rULLES went on: U "Any struggle that openly pitted the full might of the free world against that of the captive (communist) world could have but one outcome. That would be the TOTAL DEMOLITION of the artificial, rigid and relatively weak structure that Soviet com munism has built. That is why most well-informed people do not now expect war. The situa tion is basically too one-sided." IF what Dulles says In Tokyo i true, WE ARE IN NO PRES ENT DANGER OF ATTACK BY RUSSIA. If Dulles knows these things, Russia must know them. It seems improbable that Russia would deliberately provoke a war SHE KNOWS SHE WOULD LOSE. If what Dulles (who fills the odd position of a republican ad viser to the democratic adminis tration's state department) says Is true, the free world has TIME TO WORK OUT ITS PROB LEMS.
