Form Corporation to Ope
rate Training and Touring
Planes From Medford Air
portSchedule Trips to
Crater Lake, Plan.
Kor the establishment ot a purely
local flyins service, a group of
Medfcml business men are forming
a corporation to stimulate aviation
Interest in Medford and southern
Oregon. The new company, for
which no name so far Inm been
chosen, will be capitalized at 'Sp
oilt) and Htock is to be sold to as
many local residents as possible to
make the project a thorough com
munity enterprise.
The company will operate three
ships a tiaining plane, a three
passenger and a cabin plane. The
hednuurters will be at the Medford
airport, where u school for the. In
struction of pilots will be started
as soon as the company is fully
organized. Efforts to obtain fin
ancial support began this morning
and at noon several well known
Medford business men had sub
scribed an amount to exceed $11000.
No ertort to collect any of the
subscriptions will be made until
the sum ot $15,000 has been pledg
ed, giving sufficient indication
that the people of Medford are be
hind the project.
Logical Point
Medford. situated midway be
tween San Francisco and Portland,
and having the best airport be
tween these two cities, Is pointed
out as the logical point lor the es
tablishment of a flying service.
There will be scheduled trips to
Crater 1-ake and other local scenic
points and ships will always be
ready for rush taxi trips to any
point on the coast or iulnud. A
ship will also be available for reg
ular "joy hops" about the Valley
at reOBonble price
The n linn to be nspd bv the
company will be .entirely new and
experienced pilots will be employed
to operate them. These pilots will
also be in a position to give instruc
tion at the aviation school, expect
ed to attract the Interest of quite
number of local men who have
a yearning to fly.
Concession Sought
There are several outside compa
nies attempting to obtain the school
and taxi concession at Medford air
port but the concession Is being
held up in view or the organiza
tion of the local company.
The stockholders of (he concern
will have entire command of its
functions and will elect directors
and officers to direct its destinies.
It is not a private enterprise, In
which only a few Individuals are
Interested, but Is announced as a
community project und as another
step to place Medford ahead in the
aviation world.
The ntines of the business men
Interested In the concern so far
will be announced in a few days.
An announcement will also be
made In a short time of a contest
to choose a name for the new com
pany and also of a contest for stu
dent essi.ys setting forth why Med
Tord should have n flying service.
The company will uIbo take over
agencies lor airplanes and accesso
ries, maintain a Bhop to repair air
planes and will represent one or
two gsollne companies to sell gas
nnd nlln tn local and trnnsient
ships. Further dealls will be an-1
nounced later.

Conferees Discuss Change
in Act to Limit Flexible
Provisions Approval An
ticipated. WASHINGTON. May 2i vP
A compromise on the flexible
amendment to the tariff bill
whereby the president's power to
change customs dulU'S would be
sharply curtailed was discussed by i
the conferees today with prospects
of final adoption.
As described by Senator Watson
the Republican leader nnd one of
the conferees, the new plan would
authorize'the tariff commission to
report in emergencies whnt it be
lieved to be u fuir change in a
tariff and the president would be
required to proclaim the rute in
effect or veto it.
Under existing law, the commls
kIoii merely reports differences in
cost of production and the presi
dent muy proclaim a duty Increase
or decrease to a limit of B0 per
cent to equqalize those differences
or completely ignore the commis
sion's findings.
The new plan would not permit
the president to ignore a commis
sion report by inaction. It has
been discussed with President
Hoover hy Republican leaders ami
he has been represented as being
willing to forego some of his
power.
Senator Watson said ho believed
there was a good chance of the
plan being approved by the con
ferees at another meeting tomor
row. The flexible controversy was the
only one unsettled after today's
meeting.
