ifuch .meaning in President
Hoover's first and brief mes
sage. Foreigners cannot complain
if we. make our tariff high
enough to equalize differences
in cost of labor at home and
abroad.
j,No reason why foreigners
should profit in this country by
inder paying foreign workers.
.-
The people's votes . ordered
the government to do vnrious
filings, develop waterways, re
JPise thc'ngricultural tariff and
afford relief in other' direc
tions. President Hoover intends
that the government 'shall carry
out the voters' orders.
"Waste 'between farmer and
consumer" will be eliminated
as far as possible. Middleman,
and possibly transportation
costs will be regulated.
-
Legislation can't cure all the
troubles of farmers, but farm
ers and farm organizations can
be helped by legislation.
The farmers will have to do
jomc of it, by organizing their
industry. . " ' '
The government should not
engage in buying, selling or fix
ing prices-on products, ;:?;,?;' J
This means that government
will not undertake to buy the
farmer's crops, whatever lie
raises. He mast continue to
use judgment as to how much
of each thing should be planted.
That's bis specialty.
"There should be no fee or
tax imposed upon the farmer,
That will suit the farmer.
New York is much interested
in: a killing:, because it hap
pened on. Park avenue, where
millionaires live".
One lady was throwing a
party and A. Mr. Bell invited
". Mrs. Brown to go. Mr. Bell,
in jail, accused of manslaugh
ter, says there was a great deal
of drinking; in plain words,
several were drunk. .
V . .
One of the several will drink
no more. His name was Smith.
. After a certain number of
drinks, he decided to go home

Brown to her hotel. Mr. Bell
objected and pushed or hit Mr.
Smith', who fell down and broke
his crown, that is to say, frac

A. P. Confirms
Confirmation of tile Blue
Ledge mine deal was received
today by the .Asnorlaled Press
from the main offices of the
American Smelting and Re- f
fining company (Guggen-
helms) in New York City.
They reported thut an op- r
tion for the development of
the Blue Ledge mine had 4
been given Dr. J. F. Reddy,
representing a group. ,4
At a meeting of the county court
this morning, it was announced by
William H. Ooro, banker, and Dr.
J. I' Reddy, that the Blue Ledge
couner mine owned by the Gug
genheim Interests, was transferred
April 1, last, to a syndicate of Los
Angeles investors headed by J. B.
Roof and B. P. Miller, Jr. .'
The- deal was closed' In-'1 New
York City, and the sum involved
was stated as being "over half a,
million dollars." , '
The syndicate 'plans to install a
flotation mill, the modern method
of processing copper, new com
presses, and re-equip the mine.
Kood and tools are being sent Into
the mine at present by pnek horses
and Dr. Reddy and Gore hended a
delegation that requested the coun
ty court to appropriate SI 600 for
repairs to the road. - The county
court will visit the mine and travel
over the road- before making a
decision.
Dr. Reddy said the syndicate
would expend $60,000 in prelimin
ary work, -and wanted the road
put in shape for hauling heavy
machinery to the property.
It will take five or six months
to place the mine on a production
basis.
The Blue Ledge mine Is located
four miles from the Oregon-California
state line, and has ten miles
of tunnels, with thousands of tons'
of ore blocked out.
ldlo IS Years
It was purchased two years ago
by the Guggenheim Interests from
the Charles S. Towne estnte of
Boston, and has not .been operated
for fifteen years. It is rated as a
heavy producer, and Is In the cen
ter of an undeveloped mining and
timber belt.
W. H. Gore told the county court
that the operation of the mine
would mean a payroll of between
300 nnd 400 men, and that this city
would be the chief beneficiary of
the resultnnt prosperity. He said
it would mean the development of
other copper properties in that
district, and the milling of huge
belts of timber awaiting cheaper
transportation.
He also Informed the county
court that the Southern l'aelflc
railroad and the Guggonhelms
were Interested In the project and
had promised their aid a year ago
in the building of a railroad to the
Blue Ledge mine, when under con
sideration, i
"That railroad flattened out, not
through the fault of either of
them,", he said. A railroad will
prchahly be built there later, but
at the preint time we are inter
ested In getting the mine started
again.
Dr. Reddy corroborated the
statements of Mr. Gore and as
sured the court that the Los An
geles syndicate were preparing for
early operation, q
C. J. Fry and Krlck Anderson,
owners of claims in the Blue Ledge
district, also attended the meeting.
Toe county court will visit the
road and the mine with County
Knglneer Rynning In a few days,
under a guidance of Anderson,
for a first hand view of the situa
tion. NEW YORK. April 17. IP) A

WALLACE BEERY
HERE IN PLANE
TO TRY F
Flying his own cabin plane, Wal
lace Beery, famous movie actor, ar
rived at the local airport early this
afternoon after a- three-hour flight
from Oaklanu, Cai., to spend sev
eral days along the Rogue river on
a fishing trip, the first of several
he plans to spend in southern Ore
gon during this summer. He was
accompanied by his co-pllot, George
Naves.
"I'd like to give up moving pic
ture acting and spend the rest of
my da.ys up here fishing," said
Mr. Beery, adding that fishing is
one of his bust hobbles. It Is his
first visit here since he was in
Medfor.d 14 or 16 years ago, ap
pearing in a Raymond Hllchcock
stage production.
He completed work Monday, on
the latest Taromount' production;
"Stairs of Sand," by Zane Grey,
and, upon his reutrn to Hollywood
next week, will begin work on an
other production, the title of which
has not been announced.
"It makes no difference to me
what parts 1 play villain, hero or
comedian," said the actor. "Ifs
only a business to me. There isn't
an urtlstlc spark In my soul. What
ever part I take is just in the day's
work. Acting isn't tiresome to me
not even tedious, but It is work,
nevertheless. Of course you know
everything's gone to the talkies
down In . Hollywood, and even I
speak my pieces.
"No, i don't supposo Raymond
Hatton and I will ever team up
again for comedies," he said in re
sponse to a question. "1 got tired
of it. It wil not be very long un
til I will be appearing In a num
ber of comic grand opera produc
tions. That promises something
different."
In tlie course of conversation, It
was learned Mr. Beery operates
two airplanes, three Lincoln' auto
mobiles and one new Ford. The
plane he flew to Medford cost ap
proximately 121,00 .and has been
flown less than 147 hours. He
has been a licensed pilot over a
year and has spent over 1000 hours
in the air.
Flying seems to be as
ISHING
interesting a hobby to the actor aniHonio Df (mit which was sown in
fishing, and he plans on making
one-day trips from Hollywood to
Medford for short fishing outings
on the river to catch salmon. Trout
do not Interest him.
Upon his arrlvnl at the airport,
he re-fueled, came to Medford, ate
lunch, rented a car from a local
garage and left for the river, plan
ning to stop at Weasku Inn, near
the Savage Rapids dam. He, will
return to Hollywood upon the com
pletion of the outing.

Policy.
V A S H I N G TO M , April 17. P)
Administration leaders at the cap
Itol are quietly studying sugges
tions for legislation at the extra
session on the credit situation,
which has been emphasised recent
ly by the efforts of the federal re
serve board to check the flow of
money Into speculative channels.
There have been many Indica
tions of an early discussion of the
subject In both the senate and the
house, but after conferences at the
treasury and in administration cir
cles generally, the Republican par
ty leaders nt the capltol are Just
watching and waiting.
The fedora I reserve board seems
destined to be the major subject
of the congressional discussions.
Thero are some ready to criticize
It for its statements admonishing
the member banks to curtail loans
to brokers and dealers There are
others prepared to assail the board
'fonM-wbt- Inking- thin -step TicrdnerV
Senator Class ofv Virginian,
former Democratic secretary of the
treasury and one. of the authors of
the federal reserve act, Is one who
believes the board flhould have
acted sooner.
Senator LeFollette, Republican,
Wisconsin, Introduced a resolution
more than a year ago asking the
federal reserve board to admonish i
member bnnks against an increase
In the tremendous amoUnt of loans
made to brokers and dealers. The
senate hanking committee favor
ably reported the resolution to the
senate, but it was never acted upon.
Roth Senator Class and Senator)
LaFolette are ready to tackle the
complex problem of amending the
fderal reserve act In an effort to
legalize a greater restriction on re
serve funds apt to get into specu
lation, but neither Is witling to un
dertake the task at the extra ses
sion unless there Is an assurance
that the house banking committee
will be organized and that both
houses will be In a position to take
action.-
"Certainly there should be some
formula," says Senator LaFollctte,
"for meeting the excessive use of
money in speculation. Hut this
question should be taken up when
both hoiiKcs of congress are In a
position to act upon It."

President Plans Educational
Program to Wean People
From Pulque Prohibition
. ' No t ' Contemplated . for
Campaign.
MEXICO CITY, pill 17.
President Emillo Portes Oil, the
rebellion fast dying In the north,
moved today to rid his nation of
"the demon rum."
A tremendous educational pro
gram, designed to weun Mexicans
from whiskey bottled and puldue
cups, will be set in motion at once.
The advantages of water and milk,
much of which In Mexico is ob
tained from gonts, will be taught
the people.
The president does not contem
plate prohibition In uny sense;
there will be no enforcement of
obligatory abstinence. Stute and
city governments, agrarian and
labor organisations, and civic bod
ies throughout the country merely
wore besought In a statement to
start an anti-drink campaign Im
mediately. The chief points on the program
suggested by the president were
refusal by city and stute govern
ments to sanction new "vice cen
ters," not even to replace those
closed, requirement of one hour i
week In all public schools to lec
tures on the rum evil, and devel
opment of ports to take Mexicans'
minds off of vice.
His appeal, the president stress
ed, was principally to- common
sense; he termed alcohol "the
powerful ally of tyranles nnd un
Just exploitation." Previously he
hail coupled excessive drinking In
Mexico with vnrious forms of so
called social evil and vice which
he suld sapped the strength of the
Mexican people.
The anti-alcohol move came as a
sequel to thn president's order two
dnys ago to close all gambling
houses In Cludad Juares, ucross
the Hlo tlramlo from Kl Paso, nnd
attempting to suppress vice In the
state of Chihuahua, Just recovered
