MVhere Does Russia Get It? Mexican News, Good, Bad. (Copyright by King Feature Syndicate, Ino.) Intellectual Americans on Thursday paid $300,000 to see Mr. Tom Loiifjlirnn fittht Mr. .Tack Sharkey, a Lithuanian vlin borrow his fighting name. The gentlemen, who are "heavyweights" in more senses than one, fought three rounds. Sharkey won. M'r. Loughrnn, "technically knocked out." Thp samp crowd will rfl' $.100,000 more, later, to s.-e them fight three more rounds, with Mr. I.oughran winning. After that will come the de ciding match. Sad, dull days for those who crave brutality. Of all big business life insur ance is 'biggest. Frederick If. Kcker, president of the Metro politan Life Insurance Com pany, ' predicts an increase in life insurance from one hun dred' millions by 1940, while discussing problems involved in the investment of fourteen thousand million dollars, held in trust for policy holders. Two hundred billion dollars insurance on the people of the United States seems gigantic. But it averages less than $2000 per inhabitant. It's n poor American that isn't worth more than that. '" v '" Our high financial powers refuse to recognize, Russia's government, and that govern ment, unconcerned, continues to show that it understands nftinesK. . Even American business might learn some things from Russia. In the coming year the So viet government plans to spend six and a half billion dollars on new buildings, industrial plants, , factories, power sta tions, dwellings, schools, large state farms. d M ' . Like Mexico, Iiussia empha sizes especially the importance of more schools. Wall Street must wonder whore the Soviets can find six thousand, five hundred million dollars, while our high finance holds thumbs down. ' . Two pieces of Mexican news, one good, one bad, for Mexi co's people. 'With excellent in tention', Mexico plans to let Mexican labor raise itself by its own boot straps. That is the lad news. Kmployers hiring more than 20 workers must make eollcct ivc (Vtitriir.ts, with nil. An employer, for any reason, lei ting men go, even rinsing down for lack of business, must continue paying wages for three months. f finch laws, if established, would drive capital and prosperity out of Mexico. It would expel the only atttnmo hile factory in Mexico, which be longs to Henry Ford. Mexico's good news tells that the mimber of her schools has doubled wllhln a year. The government plans public school for every child on the American plan. One year ago Mexico had S3S2 schools in rural communities. Now these schools number 6073. The children of peons and their parents are educated at the public expense. , Mexico .goes one step better by tres, where the population may en joy, without any charge, enlighten ing and amusing moving plciures.

CoDtioue4 oo Vf Four) STATE BARIADM1RALT0 MEET ENDSTELLWORDS AT BANQUET I Closing Event Attended By 200, and Is Replete With Wit and Oratory Lead ing Jurists and Barristers Talk Session Here Has Record Attendance- I.rilllnnce. wit. eloquence and pathos were intermingled In tlw after dinner speeches made ly members of the bench and burt at the banquet last nlKht which brought to a climax what was pronounced by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court O. I. Coahow, the heat attended convention ever held by the Oregon State Har as Hociation. More than 200 were seated in the main dining room of the Hotel Medford. Although humor predominated throughout the program of talks, subjects of a serious nature, in volving court procedure and pro poaed Judicial reforms were ef feceively handled by the speak ers. "Kportsmnnship and the I-iw" was the subject of the address given by Judge James T. Brand of Coos Hay. Assuming the Inate hive of fair play in the American make up, which Is in part respon sible for many of the customs in the court procedure of this coun try, the judiciary, without criticis ing uny of the existing conditions, left the thought that the balance on the scnles of Justice were per haps tipped too much on the 'side of the defendant. . 10. O. Immel, newly elected pres ident of the stale Knr association, proved himself a capable and wlt Cy, tnastmaster, and prufaced the remarks of each speaker with stories that gave a perfect balance to the evening's program. Attorney (lus Newbury, who wag called, upon to start off the eve ning's entertainment with nn ex temporaneous speecht caused one gale of laughter after another In the few minute that he held the floor. Vocal selections were contribut ed by Mrs. George Alexander of Portland, soprano, and Mrs. Thnm aa Terrlll of Head, contralto, both of whom delighted their hearers, with the quality ot exceptional voices. Judge Harry D. Norton of .lack son and Josephine counties re ceived an ovation or applause as his name was 'called, and caused a prolonged chuckle throughout the assemblage with his surpris ing drolleries, and humorous ob servations on the events of the past two (lays. Judge Samuel Stern of Seattle, guest speaker, who Friday morn ing caused a sensation in the con vention by his splendid paper ad vocating the abolishment of the jury, gave an entirely humorous talk and wns frequently applaud ed hy the Oregon barristers. That lawyers as a class and the courts which they represent are the targets of an Insidious and mvAi-r ott..w nn ih nr nf metropolitan newspapers, was a statement made by Judge Fred Wilson of The Dalles, at the con clusion of his brilliant address, which was the final number of the program. Thai the lawyer stands with the doctor and the minister as the clans who guard the most sacred confidence of humanity, was furth er stated by the judge, who claim ed that there Is no room for the dishonest lawyer in the profeasloii, and that "Ills footsteps have been rarely and only faintly heard down the corridors of time." He urged that the state har as sociation take a stand against such attacks and be given the chanre to not only defend their profes sion, but to drag their attackers out In the opn to nnnver their charges. t Frequent expressions of spprec- Istlon were expressed tlirounlioiit the meeting for the hospitality of the Southern Oreuon liar assocla - tlon, the citizens of Metlftirtl In Kenersl, and for the space trlven tlielr activities hero by the local press.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 28. (&) Reply will be made on Monday by Rear Admiral J. M. Reeves to the statement before the senate uaval investigating committee that as one of the American experts at the unsuccessful Geneva naval limitations conference of 1927, he "frequently expressed the hope it would not Bticceed." Admiral Reeves "called Chair man Shortrldge of the committee today by telephone to request the hearing. Drew Pearson, a news paper man who reiwrted the Gen eva conference, told the commit: lee during Uh Investigation of the activities of William B. Shearer on behalf of shipbuilders at that conference, that he saw Reeves frequently in the company o t Shearer in the Swiss city and heard him (Reeves) express the hope of a failure of that parley. After hearing the naval officer Monday, the committee will turn at last to Shearer to hear his account ot what he did at the conference called by President Coolidjse n a futile attempt to limit the cruiser construction of America, Great Britain and Japan. Shearer has sued the ship build ers for 1(250.000, above his $25, 000 salary for services he alleges he rendered at the Geneva meet ing. In its first week of investiga tion, -the- committee was told by the ship builders that they secret ly sent Shearer to i Geneva for the sole purpose of "observing and reporting." They agreed that they ; did not even read his reports. I Pearson then told the commit tee that Shearer at Geneva attend ed the newspaper conferences, dis tributed material to the press, con sorted frequently with the Amer ican naval experts and was a "distinct influence against Anglo American good will." The senate Investigators are anx ious to question Shearer about his understanding with the shipbuild ers as to his Geneva work and as to just what he did at Geneva. There is also a possibility that the committee may go Into the present as well as the past activ ities of Shearer. Inquiry has developed that the navy department has a record of Shearer, and there have been In timations that the senate investi gators might call upon the depart ment of justice to learn what in formation It has developed in the investigation offered by President Hoover of activities of the ship builders at Geneva. Shearer has attended all the committee hearings while the ship builders told ot their employment of 'lim; exnre; re,?ret vf , and termed his 'reports' as hunk." He has promised the com- in it ten to tell a full story. INT L: CANNING TESTS RAI.K.M. Ore., Sept. 28. (if) Hoys nnd Kirls from Union, Clackama..
