Reorganization Expenses GREAT corporations like railroads which get in financial straits are seldom junked. They operate under receivers for a time. During this period interest saved by non-payment is used to build up the property and make it more nearly self-supporting. After a time, long or short, interested per sons appear as reorganization managers. Usually some pri JTaJte banking house is appointed. The managers study the condition of the company, its probable rate of earnings, and thencall for an exchange of securities. ; This is often marked by "scaling down", in which bond holders are asked to take securities with a junior standing. The way is then open, to put on prior mortgages to raise fresh capital. In the ease of railroads there has been in past reorganizations practically no real scaling down of cap italization. Whatever was taken out of the bond account was added to the stock account, so the mountain of capital the property is expected to produce earnings upon remains un changed, though the stock may pay no dividends for a time. Then for their job the reorganization managers get very fat fees, and usually get nibbs on the sale of new secur ities. In the Milwaukee reorganization a few years ago the bankers got around two million for their services. , The interstate commerce commission now comes for ward with a plea to break up this, costly method of reor ganization. There are bills pending in congress to permit railroads and other corporations to reorganize without the agonies which have attended past receiverships. The legislat ive committee of the commission urges action to curb the power of the bankers over the railroads and suggests a special court or a department of the interstate commerce commission. Corporate reorganizations have been painful and costly, needlessly, so, it would appear ; although so diverse are in terests involved and so complex the legal questions that ex pert minds are required or the job will be bungled. It seems certain that many of the railroads will have to have their fixed charges reduced. The government cannot and should not continue to pour money into leaking ships. As the em ergency prolongs into an epoch the realities of the situation must needs be faced. If the readjustment process can be al tered so that time and money may be saved it will be in the interest of the investors, the shippers, and the general pub lic The LaGuardia bill, along lines "which Pres. Hoover ap proves, would permit such voluntary reorganization. 1 Erasing Great Fortunes fTTHAT the parlor pinks and the soapbox reds a TT congressional chiselers failed to accomplish in the re duction of enormous fortunes is being effected through the steady attrition of business forces. This is brought to light in the report on the estate of Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mc Cormiek. In her latter months she vacated her mansion and died in an apartment. Her estate was computed at $40,000, 00 at one time. Now the executors say there isn't enough left to pag $2000 a month for the settlement with Emfl Krenn, the Swiss architect whom she made residuary leg atee. ' 0 ; Her Standard Oil stocks, the gift of her father, were sold long ago. Her real estate investments turned out badly and her properties are cumbered with mortgages. Death gave her release from her financial troubles, though her father would not have permitted her to suffer. Her brother, John D., Jr. however has sunk a quarter billion in Radio City in New York, and "sunk" seems to be the appropriate word. The income cannot possibly carry the investment charges, at least for many years to come. The papers tell also of the erasure of another large fam ily fortune, the Stevens family in Chicago, whose big ho tels, the Stevens and LaSalle are in receivership and whose big insurance company is in the hands of the courts. Three f the family are under indictment. Aside from whatever crimes may have been committed stands the fact that their fortune is gone. Depressions are like that. Those who have lose all or part of their possessions. A real "new deal" is forced; and the folk who browse among the ruins and pick up real bar gains are the ones swept into fortune on the next incoming tide. One of the yarns told about the late George F. Baker, i financial iriant in the land, was that when the panic broke in 1929 he called out his car to be taken again to his riff ire. a-ewinrkincr: "This is my ninth panic: I have made money in ' all of them. Perhaps fprcd'heaw- shrinkage since ' Even his impregnable bank transferred 25 million from its tmrnliia as reserves acrainst losses last year. r . Maybe the" Hebrews had the right plan. Every fifty years they had a year of jubilee in which debtors were re leased and lands reverted to ancestral family ownership. We beat the Hebrews though because we have our panics more frequently and they do not stop when a twelve-month is up. MBank of 11THILE Oregon is getting .11 of bankers to meet paychecks for stenographers and filing clerks, a brace of legislators Zimmerman and Oleen are proposing legislation to put the state in the banking business.

Oregon has made a glowing success of all the ventures it has encaged in. The irrigation districts with their her itage of defaulted bonds and blasted hopes of settlers testify , to false promises of promoters and visionary enthusiasm of ' the suckers.

Permanent Recovery by An Ad equate Medium of Exchange To the Editor: In your editorial la the Jan. 14th Issue of the- Statesman yon state, "The question on which we differ ia whether the readjust ment should come by Inflating the currency or through the operation of general economic laws which slowly work out the equilibrium of prices'. To my mind the difference Is more accurately stated in these words, Should we establish a medium of exchange, redeemable In service, of strictly government Issue and free from special privi lege to any group, or should we continue to allow the lmpeditlve drag of an old Inadequate system to retard our progress and ad vancement. The present usury and credit system, founded on the primitive notion of the intrinsic value of money, has ignomlniously faUed as an equitable means ot dlstribu tation. It Is admitted to have thus failed by great minds and leaders who, nevertheless, hold tenaciously to it as sound In prin ciple. To me there la a vast difference between an adequate medium of exchange and an "adequate sup ply of coinage and of federal re serve notes'. It Is true that the operation of general economic laws Is slow In working out the equilibrium of prices. If, Indeed, ft does so at all. It this equilibrium of prices Is worked out at all by this slow and doubtful method, it Is of rather short duration compared to the unbalanced states caused by both high prices and low prices. We are apt to forget that during booming times prices are Just as much out of balance as they are In times of depression. Should we wait for adjustment through the slow operation of ec onomic laws which we have every reason to believe, from past ex periences, will be only temporary? There seems to be a regularity in the recurrence of depressions that we might well take Into con sideration. Why resign the advantages gained through science and In vention to the ruinous and de moralizing effects of an unbal anced economic state, the solu tion of which is no more beyond us that the difficulties already met and overcome In the achieve ment of these advantages. Our editor, when he refers to the general economic laws, must mean the law ot supply and de mand. The economic laws that man has instituted have obstruct ed the free operation of the law of supply and demand. And, as these economic laws are rules and regulations Instituted by man, tney are suDjeci o correc tion and improvement by man himself. We agree with our editor that the breakdown Is not due to a general shortage of currency, and that the shortage of money to the individual is not due to a general shortage of the circulating me dium, we also agree that "toe depression Is due to a mal-dlstrt- bution of gold among the nations of the world, a lack of equilibri um 111 the exchange of goods and services, an undue expansion of credit.- And back of all of this disorder' and confusion Is the undisputable fact that "The lore of money Is the root of all (ALL) evil." A root, watered and fed on the usury and credit sys tem, which has grown to the full fruitage of banditry and crime. The usury and credit system. whose main support Is semsn ness, la a curse to the nation, a paralysing check to the free op eration of the law ot supply and demand. It Is a system that has been condemned by a great host of great minds of righteousness and logic down through the ages. The admonition, "owe no man anything," if strictly adhered te would soon destroy the usury sys tem. But alas! our inordinate de sire for living beyond our means has entangled most of us ia the meshes of this system. Instead of blamlnr ourselves, where the blame bSHngs, we imagine all soils of things. 'Each group is seeking relief by placing the bur den on another group who are as hard hit as themselves. The unlimited coinage of gold Is, in a measure, relieving the shortage of money to the Indi vidual. This relief, however, is small compared with the need, on account of the scarcity ot gold It self. Under the present systems and conditions this Is the only way (except by loans) that money can get into the hands ot that vast throng ot consumers of both goods and services ne cessary te bring equilibrium la the exchange of goods and ser vice. In an editorial of Jan. 17th our editor says," "The price of gold being fixed, and now relatively high in terms of commodities. e 0tCo The price of gold Is fixed hut is now high, seems to be a con tradiction. There is no such thing as a price or value on money cent in terms of commodities or services. Goods of any kind re present some kind of service. The commodities, silver and al loy, ot which the dollar Is made represents service. Gold Is a product of labor, rep resenting the labor (or service) of mining- and refining it. It Is hard tor me to see why the ser vice (or labor) represented In the production ot gold should he hon ored more than service (or labor) represented In the production of any other zona of wealth, if I am wrong regarding this, then -the statement that we believe "all men are created equal" is only farce. If I am not wrong then the corernment should giro all produ cers, of products the same privi lege as, the producers of, the com modify, gold.

Appendicitis is a serious disease when neglected. Too often It Is confused with aa ordinary "stom ach ache" a a d the sufferer takes a cathartic for . . relief. This Is ln Dr.Copeland dM1 a dangerous procedure because tt the pain Is due to an inflamed appendix the cathartic increases the inflammation. If the Inflammation continues. It may lead to rupture of the appendix. When this happens the pus contained within the appendix escapes Into the abdominal cavity. This causes peri tonitis which is a serious complica tion of appendicitis. Avoid Cathartics Pala la the abdomen or stomach ache should never be considered toe lightly. Ten win always be oa the safe side If you avoid cathartics. Ap ply a hot water bag te the abdomen. Heat usually relieves spasm and In testinal tenderness doe te food poi soning er digestive upsets. If the pain Is due te aa inflamed appendix relief win be obtained by aa Ice bag. Persistant pain demands Immediate medical attention. Delay la celling the doctor prolongs con valescence and Increases the danger. Headache, nausea, fever, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, are other signs ot appendicitis.

HENDRICKS- Former Oregon man 1 'going on" 100: (Continuing from yesterday:) Giving up farming, Mr. Brown next rented a livery stable in Roseburg. Various causes made this a fluke. The fall ot 18C0, huntlngofor something to make a living for himself and family. Brown rented the farm on which West Roseburg was built, where the soldiers' home for the state of Oregon was located long after, and the great regional veterans' home is now going up, for the federal government. In connection with the farm. Brown rented the ferry. He made rails on the farm that winter, and produced the largest crop of oats he ever rais ed; milked If cows and supplied his brothers hotel in Roseburg with milk and butter. The range was open to Looking Glass val ley then. The winter of 'sl-l. hardest this northwest coast has ever known, attended with great floods, wiped A. T. Brown about clean; took off the ferry boat and smashed it on a tree down stream, starred his dairy herd ot about 45 animals, almost drown ed him twice, and left him strand ed financially. It did damage all over the Pacific northwest that was felt tor 10 years and more. W In the summer ot It II pros pectors had found gold la the Net Perce Indian country, la a place now called Oro rino, Idaho, and late in the fall a party discovered the yellow metal at rloreaee, Ida ho. There was a great gold rush to the Idaho mlnea In the spring ot 18J. e S On March St, Brown, with twe companions, left Bjosebnrg - aad joined the gold rush. They were It days setting to Portland; slept in barns along the way; found barns in Portland te sleep ia. Shrpped their outfit by boat from Portland; Brown got his Concord modlty value. This value, how ever, is not the value of money. The value of money la aa Intan gible value, . (a spiritual value wo might say) a legal tender value created by flat This applies to gold money and ' currency backed by gold or silver as truly as . It does to flat paper money. The people, were afraid to ac cept the French asslgnaU for fear the revolution would zan and this confiscated land bo taken baek. Too, these asslgnata did aot rep resent a definite Quantity ot land. This,- however, does not bear pa the subject ot money redeemable in service as was my proposal. True, the Inflation ot tho present medium ot exchange would ho aa great a failure as has been the ef fort to get more money Into tho hands of the consumer by loans. Wo might just as well say that the government cannot control the Issuance of postage stamps as to say it cannot control tho issu ance of a fuU legal tender money based UMely on a service redempt ive system put Into circulation without interest and without fa vor to any particular dais. A le gal tender ot this kind would au tomatically have tho whole wealth ot tho nation back of It, and weald supply what la lacking in tho present system of an un limited coinage ot a limited sup ply or gold. o. r. rowLER, H- No. t.
