Criticise Treasury Department
for Still Using War Time
Methods and Postoffice for
Enlarging Savings Service-
Recommend Budget Plan-
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3 Committee,
division and section meetings, every
halt hour beginning early today and
lasting until 8?30 tonight comprised
the program of the American Hankers
association assembled here in annual
convention. At these meetings work
of the general session, which will start
tomorrow, was to be mapped out. The
administrative committee was the first
to be called to order, after which '11
other groups were to gather, the final
meeting tonight being that of the
executive council.
Reports made public today included
Hint of the committee on savings to
the savings bank division. This con
tained a criticism of the United States
treasury and postoffice departments
for their proirasals for enlarging the
functions of the government as a
"savings banker."
"The treasury department," the 're
port rend, "continues to use many of
Its war time arguments for selling Its
savings securities. The result has
been both costly to tax payers and
ridiculous as to effect when measured
either by amount of sales or the extent
to which thrift has been promoted.
"Lately the postal authorities have
sought to inject the government into
the banking uiislness by departing still
further from the original postal sav
ings plan. In addition to withdrawing
savings deposits from the community
of origin they seek to add features
which ure not only competitive but
subsidized by tax exemption.
"Our opposition to both schemes Is
based not only upon the extravagance
of any bureaucratic activity anil the
failure of the government to set
proper example in the practice of
thrift, but upon the even more impor
tant ground that In order to perpetuate
their positions, the government's em
ployes will continue to advance pro
jects which are paternalistic and con
trary to the best interests of the public
welfare."
The committee on federal exchange
reporting to the same division, com
mended the adoption of a national
budget system and announced it had
favored an amendment to the federal
constitution So that incomes "from
whatever source derived," shall be tax
able by both national and state author
ities and reduction of public expendi
tures "especially through placing all
governmental bodies upon the same
basis of reduced expenditures as ap
plies to all citizens without exception.

Senator King, democrat. Utah, ob
jected to a second amendment under
which the commissioner of. Internal

amendment under which no further

of war materials and owners of ships
operated during the war had been ful
ly compensated by reason of the
"high charges made to tho govern
ment." "4
The Utah senator ejected nl30 to

ciation and wear auSf tear of tholr
property. He declared tho govern
ment already had allowed deductions
of $2,400,000,000 for this purpose,

Tho defendant sat between her
husband, 'Paul Vincent Southard and

Is no particular change in her up
pearancc, but there are signs that the

Sho smiles rarely and her eyes seldom
fasten upon any object in tho court
room for more than a few seconds.
Only occasionally does she glance In
the direction of the attorneys for the
slate.
Her mother was not in court this
morning and It Is understood that her
state of heulth is such as to preclude
her appearance.
An order was issued this morning
by attorneys for tho defense directing
tho shoriff to permit no further In
terviews between tho defendant nnd
local officers of tho Salvation Army.
A second order was served upon

NO LITERATURE AT
STATE FAIR AFTER
FIRST PRIZE IN
The city of Modford through
i
'-8,
chamber of commerce and Jackson
county through Its county court wore
caught nsleep at the Bwltch when the
county won famo and an Invaluable ad
vertising publicity last week through
capturing first prize with its exhibit at
tho state fair, and making a clean
sweep in the Individual entries.
There was not a Blngle piece of
literature calling attention to the val
ley's and county's resources, products
and wonderful climate and advantages
for distribution among the many thou
sands of visitors, to back up the wide
spread Interest and attention attracted
to this agricultural and fruit raising
section by its prize winning exhibits.
Peoplo wore at the state fair from
all parts of the United States, Canada
and even from foreign countries, and
Mayor Gates says that there were hun
dreds of inquiries among them for
literature about tho Rogue River val
ley end Jackson county.
Many of theBo frankly slated that
they had never heard of the valley be
fore but that after seeing its prize win
nlng products they wanted to know
more about it. Thus through tho ab
sence of such literature many thou
sands of dollars worth of additional
advertising nnd publicity were lost,
In connection with the grand show-
ins made at the state fair by Jackson
county it Is Interesting to note that
the county court only made County
Agent C. C. Cato an allowance Of $95
to make up the county exhibit, which
was generally characterized at the
state fair as one worth $5000 to $10,000
and which has done more to put the
Rogue River valloy and Jackson coun
ty on the map than all other things for
years past.
