Cook, Routo Medford, , HJ THREAT 10 VETO FROM PRESIDENT F0RJ00D BILL (Continued from Page One.) . If tile two houses in conference fail to a'ree on a measure with sham teeth, if they pass anv fake like the present senate bill, President Wil son will veto it. And his veto message will put the responsibility squarely up to the un faithful senate. Veto Tlireatens Bill. This is the siiftation in Washing ton today. An iron note has crept into the congressional discord. The president's message to Congressman Lever, demanding power to win the war, is the prelude to harsher things. The plan of the senate obstruc tionists, the packing house senators and the disguised pro-Oermans, was to prophesy food control's failure and then insure its failure by passing a phoney law. Sherman of Illinois, Heed of Mis souri and others of the gray wolf pack have said time and again that Hoover would fail. Then thev did everything in their power to bring their predictions true by depriving Hoover of means to succeed. It was a merry game but not so joyous in the face of the president's determination to put the responsibil ity where it belongs. President Wilson is not going to undertake food control without the necessary (lowers. He is not going to ask Herbert Hoover to assume an imHssib!e job. The administration determination hns been strengthened by recent count ry-wide reports showing the eople the consumers and produc ers alike have done their full duty. People All Co-operate. The farmers have raised tremen dous crops in face of the highest production costs in history. The housewives have been saving and scrimping. Chicago's garbage has decreased one-third, and the amount of fat re covered from garbage over one-half. Similar reports have come from otehr cities, lmdisputahlc proof of the success of the Hoover food con servation crusade. There are a thousand other proofs of the earnestness and devotion of the plain cop!e. Hut there has been no correspond ing fall in prices. Except for a few minor temjMirnry drops, the cost of eating has continued to mount. While the senate was talking of that old fraud, the "luw of supply and demand," the food speculators and hoarders were kic king it in the slats, and accumtiiating huge stores on which they hoc to realize enor mous winter profits. Svecnlntois I'icilltiui;. A large part of the wheat harvest hns passed into the hands of the speculators, while congress has been dnwdling. If the senate measure should be enacted it would he impos sible to do anything nbout it. The ieople have done their part, the farmers have done their. The house has done its duly. The presi dent and Hoover stand ready to pro cure results. (hily the United Slates senate has failed. It must turn to the right or the people will ask the reason why, in such manner nnd form as seems best. The next few days will furnish the answer to the question whether the hundred million people of Amer ica, led by a president devoted to their interests, re less powertnl than a handful of senators detuted to the intere-ts of Germany and the food speculators and hoarders. K. K. Kubli of Portland and former resident of Jacksonville, Is visiting relatives In that town. He was a visl to rin Medford on Sunday. T. HESE Don't forj, In re. r CAPITAL $100,000. Member rfw ti ii!tiilii I tjMji in hi. n iii. st National Bank MEDFORD OREGON fi E 2 Had not the fire hydrant on Woodstock street been set low in a ditch and allowed to be grown over with weeds, at least one of the two houses which were destroyed by fire late Saturday afternoon on that street might have been saved. The fire Btarted in the house occu pied by Mr. and Mrs. Grant Richard son at 415 Woodstock street, and owned by Dr. E. R. Seeley, when a gasoline stove on which Mrs. Richard son was preparing supper, exploded during her absence at a neighbor's. The fire had a good start before the flames were discovered and had spread to the home of L. O. Ossman adjoining, which is owned by S. C. Godlove. The fire department drove right by the hydrant, as the firemen were un able to see ft. The apparatus con tinued on to Second street, the fire men still looking for the hydrant. Then they drove back to the location of the hidden hydrant, about 300 feet from the burning houses, and after beating about in the clover finally un covered it. About five minutes were thus lost before water began playing on tlite flames, and it Is thought that had work been begun sooner the Oss man house might have been saved. The Richardson house was com pletely burned, and the Ossman house partially burned and completely ruin ed. Some furniture was saved from both dwellings. The total loss caused by the fire is estimated at close to $5000. Mrs. Richardson collapsed when on coming out from a neighbor's home, she saw her own home going up in flames, and had to be given medical attention.
