Those thus called include Mr.
Taylor, chairman of the United
Stales Steel Company ; Mr.

This is to notify any citizens

There is one fortunate thing
m all the Wall Street moaning.
Working men and women are.
not affected. They take in $60,
IK10,0( 10,000 a year in pay, live
on $40,000,000,000 and have
$20,000,000,000 to siwnd every
year for automobiles, vacuum

more foolishly, sacrificing valu

The worst of it, from the
point of view of common sense,
is the fact that Wall Street ap
parently is without leadership.
Vicious and entirely unfound

fools to their own injury.
What could be done by real
leadership in Wall Street is
difficult to see. The Federal

rate again, which it easily
could do. to show that we have
plenty of money. Hut every

cizinx Hie action of Secretary of
the Treasury Andrew Mellon for
recommending a fl GO.OOO.UOO in
come tax cut. one of four resolu
tions Introduced on the convention
floor ot the National Grange here
today advocated the use of such a
surplus for rural school develop
ment. Tile amendments were held
over as future business.
Such money. Grange officials
""-sued, should be apportioned uc-
curding 10 population inruuut me
rural districts of the union for
school purposes. This plan would
not only relieve the farmer of a
considerable portion of his taxa
tion, but would aifo place the cost
of education, partially on the na
tional government, they asserted.
The plun. as proposed by the
Granger!?, would bring the federal
government into educational work
in a - manner similar to activities
in road construction.
Ta Iteductlon Theme
Tax reduction has ' been the
main theme' of the convention
since Ifopened Wednesday, having
occupied a place of almost the
same importance as the tariff and
fn 1111 11 if 1 in the roitnrtM nrwl
cushions- of the delegates and
members.
The delegates refused to consid
er that any successful farm relief
can be given them without the de
benture plan and u second resolu
tion which approved the activities
of federal farm board and pledged
the support of the C! range was
offered, '.
Jesse XewHon, Columbus. Ind.,
stale- Ci range master, asked to
amend it so the national Orange
reaffirm its insistence upon the
enactment of the principle of the
export debenture as a necessary
part of any adequate farm relief
program under our present protec
tive tariff system.
The four resolutions, which were
j placed before the convention dur
ing a national broadcast program,
will be given to the voting dele
gates for action at a regular ses-

in thn first half of their final game
with the Oregon Krosh today when,
thanks to the educated toe of Half
back Davis, they led their highly
touted rivals, 17 to 12.
It was a fiercely fought see-saw
battle from the start, the Krosh
scoring in the first few minutes of
play, but missing the goal, only to
huve the Rooks also make a touch
down a few minutes after nnd kick
their goal. This apparently riled
the Krosh and they started a ter
rific drive- down th field, again
scoring and again failing to get
the goal. Nothing daunted, th;
Hooks, on a fiikc kick, snatched
their wecond touchdown with a 55-i

came through. Score, Itooks 1 4. ;

i The promise was made by

dent and general manager of the
Western Pacific, lie was the sec
ond witness today In the hearing
by Examiner r. D. 'Mahaffie on the
project of the two railroads for
uniting their systems by th 200

ly fn the central California fruit

which 9 new nillroud could furnish

Under cross examination by JO,

terly opposing the. Great Northern
Western Pacific project, the wit
ness admitted that no physical dif
ficulties at present prevent the de
livery of Great Nortaern refrigera

Colonel Mason further testified
as to statistics on expected traffic
resulting from the building of the
new line. Ho said that the Wes
tern Pacific would start two
freight trains dally out of Kucni
mento for northern points and
would provide extra local service
bxlw-eeij.SuuraJuc.Oto.Hnd .Klamath

over the proposed line would allow
the Western Pacific to decrease its
operating ratio four to five points
from its present figure of around
80.
C. O. Jcnks. vice-president of
the Great Northern, gave similar
testimony Tor that road covering
dully freight service over the Great
Northern lines. Freight leaving
San Francisco at 10 p. m. will
reach Spokane, Portland, Seattle
on the fourth morning, he said.
Jcnks pointed out that the aver- 1
ago time consumed by Interchange
of freight from tho .Southern Pa

Portland is equivalent to the time
rciiuired to run u' train 100 miles.

PUI CHEST O'ER
Kalr progress wan reported to

meet with the expected co-opera-tlon
from contributors, who have

bo reached in thu next two or
three days.
All men and women who have
not contributed, are urged to
show special co-operation by call
ing at the chest healquartcrs at
tho chamber of commerce, where
they may make cash-donations or
sign pledges covering donations
over u period of several months.
A good many aro believed to have
been missed by solicitors who
called when they were not at home
or at their places of business.
In view of tho (rood to the com
munity th chest represents, do-J
nut Ions from this source ure ex-1
peeted to be frequent at the chest I

Solicitors who huve completed I
visits In their respective fields,
are requested to leave their sup
ply of buttons at tho headquarters

wearing buttons are uregd to ob
tain them as early as possible.
Tho public Is olao reminded by
chest officers that the Jackson
County Humane society Is not In1
eluded in the organ izatlqiis deriv
ing benefits from tho present col
lections, the society having with
drawn a short time ago In favor
of other organizations. It hud
been announced tho society was

Poverty IC'xrtl.
Reports of poverty and distress
wero given by other ennvussers,
one of whom culled on a family
that yesterday, sold the, family
cow to provide funds with which
to buy hay to feed tho horse.
Thero wero several children, but
when tho aid of tho chest was
preferred, the mother declared,
"they would be able to get along
somehow," without appealing to
charity.
Another solicitor found a young
married Woman alone und sick,
hardly able to leave her bed. She
was without funds and was with
out friends in Medford. Her hus
band had left a short time ago
for eastern Oregon In search of
work und had not yet returned.
Her case whs reported to chest
headquarters for aid. ' The same
solicitor found the father und
wage earner of another family In
bed, afflicted with a broken back,
and penniless.
Am explulned before, the client
I reaches out and gives comfort and
rare to cases of this kind, and
the extent of the work depends
