Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
I If letter to this writer, a reader
of this newspaper says:
1 "Your statement a few days ago
to the effect that you are an Incur
able optimist about expressed my own
feelings covering my entire lifetime
to the present time, or at least to
the recent past.
"But' at the present time I am
fighting myself to hold onto that
optimism and to stand up four
square and 100 per cent for our In
stitutions of government, which
seem to me to he degenerating."
THIS reader Is a solid, conserva
tive citizen, NOT a radical, so
bis reasons for feeling that the in
stitutions of our government are de
generating will be found interesting.
These reasons, he says, are admir
ably summed up In an article In the
current number .of the Saturday
Evening Post by Merle Thorpe, who
Is the editor of The Nation's Busi
ness, the magazine published by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
So It may be worth while to quote
here some of the statement made by
Mr. Thorpe in the article referred
to.
HERE is one of them, which is
certainly startling enough:
Conduct of public affairs in this
country has come to require a gigan
tic administrative mechanism that Is
as cumbrous as It Is colossal. It is
built on a gangling framework of
1,900,000 laws now on the statute
hooks.
More than 300,000 taxing . units
collect and spend the funds which
are the llfeblood of its existence.
KJEARLT two million laws in this
country or approximately one
law for each SIXTY persons. And
more than 350,000 taxing units or
one taxing unit for each 480 persons.
We ARE rather oumbered with
government, aren't wet
BUT here Is a - statement EVEN
MORE startling! . v- -...i .
. "For the services It renders not
to say thrusts upon the people, gov
ernment In this country is spending
FOURTEEN BILLION dollars a year1
one-fifth of the national income.
"It has recruited an army various
ly estimated at from 8,000,000 to 6,
000,000 employees and retainers, who,
in turn, at four to the family, rep
resent from 13,000,000 to 30,000,000
persons dependent upon' the payroll
of government.
13 analyse those statements a
little, so that we may understand
them better.
If government Is spending one
fifth of the national income, It means
that of every five dollars you earn
you contribute ONE DOLLAR to the
government.
Quite a burden. Isn't It?
-
fcUT," you may say, "I don't pay
any taxes. So all this means
nothing in MY LIFE."
Don't fool yourself. EVERYBODY
pays taxes, either directly or indir
ectly. If you don't pay taxes to the
t&x collector, you pay them to some
body else. You pay taxes indirectly
every time you pay your rent, every
time you BUY AN ARTICLE.
Taxes are a part of the cost of
doing business and are added to the
price. They HAVE TO BE.
A ND don't overlook Mr. Thorpe's
statement that from twelve to
twenty million people are dependent
on the payroll of government.
, It means, if true, as it undoubtedly
Is, that each six to ten persons are
supporting, not only themselves but
ONE non-productive employee of
government in addition.
That Is what TOO MUCH govern
ment means.
4-4
HACK in 1890, the cost of govern
ment for each average citizen
amounted to $18 08. By 1928, the
cost per citizen had jumped to
$106.30.
That is a pretty stiff Increase.
TOW let'a see bow thla high coat
of government works out In the
way of added burden on Induatry.
The interstate commerce commission
says:
If the taxes of all railroad. In the
United Stat, were reduced from
their average of 11591 per mile to
the average Canadian baae of 1367
per mile, they could have handled
9 PREB all grain, flour, nail and live
atock and mil bare bad left ,403.
000,000 more revenue than they act
ually received during tbe period from
1923 to 1927."

' $500,000,000 Fund to
Mobilize Frozen Assets
Ready in Week, Is Word
ATLANTIC CITY, N- J., Oct. 7.
(AP) The American Bankers' asso
ciation today voted approval of Presi
dent Hoover's plan for a $500,000,000
bankers' pool to mobilize the nation's
frozen credit.
NEW YORK. Oct. 7. (AP) Lead
ing New York bankers, who were
working today on details of the $500,
000,000 credit corporation proposed
by President Hoover for the relief
of banks outside the federal reserve
system, indicated they expected to
have a working plan ready by the
end of the week.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. (AP) A
proposal for a central mortgage dis
count bank was discussed today at
President Hoover's conference of
bankers and real estate men called
to consider means of providing the
home builder with better credit fac
ilities. WASHINGTON, 6ce.7. (AP)
Gratified at the reception given by
congressional leaders to his proposals
for spurring business, President Hoov
er turned today to attack difficulties
in the financing of home building.
Secretary Lamont, as chairman of
the president's conference on home
construction and ownership, headed
those Invited to meet at the White
House to devise more ways of easing
credit to allow Increased building.
The President is convinced credit
for home building Is not as satisfac
torily organized as other branches cf
credit. To work against this situ
ation, he called in prominent real
estate men from various sections.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. (AP)
A momentous slx-pdlnt program for
marshalling the nation's latent buy
ing power into commercial channels
today was laid before the American
people with the unified Indorsement
of President Hoover and political cap
tains. It Included liberalization of the
government's own rediscount 'restric
tions to permit acceptance of certain
classes of industrial securities now
ineligible; creation of a $500,000,000
corporation by private bankers to,
handle the frozen paper of Insolvent
banks and supply some cash soon to
hard-pressed depositors. And expan
sion of the federalMand bank system
to provide more adequate credit ac
commodations for agriculture.
Support In Principal
Placed before a colorful bi-partisan
conference of congressional leaders
last night at tbe White House, the
administration's domestic plan won
their support in principle. Wblle
congressional action will be required
eventually to carry the program to
completion, no special session Is con
templated. The president failed, however, to
gain sanction for him to discuss with
Premier Laval of France, on the let
ter's visit to Washington this month,
extension beyond next June of the
lnter-governmental debt moratorium. ,
In making public after midnight
the proposals which had brought the
democratic and republican leaders
hurrying from all parts of the coun
try, he said "foolish alarm" was de
laying the return of better times.

MILK ORDINANCE
TEETH' REFUSED
BY COUNCIL VOTE
Amendment Prohibiting Sale
of 'D' and 'C Grades in
City Held Unnecessary
in Report of Committee
The city council at its meeting last
night besides refusing to vote an
amendment to put teeth in the city
milk ordinance as asked for by the
Jackson County Dairymen's associa
tion, to prohibit the sale of D and C
grades of milk, and also killed by a
majority Vote, 5 to 3. the proposed
ordinance which would forbid the
keeping of pigeon lofts In tbe city
within 100 feet of a dwelling, as re
lated elsewhere In this paper.
The action on the proposed amend
ment to the milk ordinance was
taken on recommendation of the
council health committee. All of
the councllmen Messrs. Meeker,
Grey, Kerahaw, Terrltt, Allen, Porter,
Furnas and Darby were present.
The killing of the milk ordinance
amendment was made on the recom
mendation of the council health
committee, whose report read as fol
lows: Palls In Portland
"Your committee has made Inves
tigation of the proposed amendment
to the standard milk ordinance and
find that while such an amendment
was passed In the City of Portland,
that it apparently was not effectual
for the purpose Intended, .and It, is
the understanding of the committee
that the amendment to the Portland
ordinance will be repealed,
- "Under our present ordinance
penal! . is provided A.or.;wrouguX
grading of milk and the penalty that
can be assessed against the wrong
doer Is in the same amount as any
penalty that could be provided under
our charter for violation of the pro
posed amendment, and furthermore,
the same Inspection would disclose
either a misbranding of milk under
the present ordinance, or If under
the proposed amendment, a violation
thereof. Consequently, your com
mittee is of the opinion that the
proposed amendment will not be of
any assistance In aid of the discovery
of violations of the ordinance nor
will it act as a deterrent thereof.
Grading Is Question
"The theory of the standard milk
ordinance Is in effect that any milk
suitable for human consumption can
be brought Into the city and dis
posed of, provided the same is pro
perly graded. The proposed amend
ment would prohibit grades O and D
from being distributed within the
city for human consumption and
would be contrary to the spirit of the
standard ordlnanoe. Your committee
has discussed this phase of the ques
tion with Dr. Haskell of the U. 8.
Department of Agriculture, and oth
ers, and Is of the opinion that at
least under the present circum
stances, It would be much better for
the community to not at this time
deviate from the standard ordinance.
"For the above reasons, your com
mittee believes that the proposed
amendment should not be adopted,
and so report."
WOULD SILENCE
CALAMITY HOWL
Resolutions were adopted this after
noon by the retail trade committee
of the Chamber of Commerce urging
the sllenoe of all local calamity howl
ers, of which It Is claimed there Is an
over-supply, and recommending that
the community Inaugurate a woodpile
for the aforementioned In order that
they may occupy their time in some
constructive way.
The resolutions nd with the state
ment, "That no man out of work seri
ously wants to live off the Red Cross,
and that If given a chance to "work.
he will."

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7 (AP)
When Pepper Martin connected for
.his home run today a woman In the
boxes cried while the rest of the
multitude rose and cheered. The
woman was Mrs. Martin, wife of the
series hero. She always cries, she
said, every time her husband gains
glory.
"He's always been hero to me,"
she said. "When we were in grammar

crowd start cheering him my eyes
get misty. X just can't help it."

to the old war finance corpora
tion. 6. Strengthening of the re
sources of the federal land banks
to further accommodate the

SHIBK PARK, Philadelphia, Oct. 7.
(AP) As the sensational "Pepper"
Martin blasted three hits, one of
them, a home run, to drive in four
runs and tie the world series record
of 13 hits in one series, the St. Louis
Cardinals, behind "Wild BUI" Halla

St. Louis for Friday's tilt with a 8
Wi-iead ln-games. -
- It was Hall ah an 's second victory
of the series, but his performance
today failed to equal his three-hit
shut-out of the world champions In
the second game In St. Louis and was
overshadowed by the amazing wallop
ing of Martin, a veteran of one year
In the majors.
The Cardinals blasted three Ath
letic pitchers. Waits Hoyt, Rube Wal

while Hallahan allowed the champ
Ions nine, three of them by Al Sim

Martin Opens Fire
Rising once more to the great
heights he has reached In every game
of the series, Martin drove in the
opening run off Hoyt In the first

Medford Bankers Await
Details on Hoover Plan
There may be great merit In the
program advanced last night by
President Hoover to bait economic
depression, . but local bankers are
not ready to endorse It. is the opin
ion they advanced when interviewed
today. Thorough consideration of
the program and further informa
tion regarding Its actual content
were named as necessary to formu
lation of an opinion on the advisa
bility of adopting the domestic
credits plan, which asks bankers
of the nation to form, a national in
stitution with capital of at least
$500,000,000. to rediscount assets not
now eligible for discount by federal
reserve banks.
"I have nothing to say." was the
answer of B. K. Harder, president of
the First National Bank, when asked
for his opinion of the plan. "Presi
dent Hoover said a lot. I would
have to do a lot" of thinking before
commenting on his program.

"I know I ahall find the work
most Interesting," he said,- , "and I
ahall endeavor to please everybody."
Oovemor Meier gave no reason for
Van Duzer's resignation, and at
