Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE railroads are denied the 15 per
cent flat Increase In rates which
they had requested, and on the day
the decision denying the Increase is
handed down by the Interstate com
merce commission the 20 leading rail
stocks listed in this newspaper by the
Standard Statistics company RISE In
value by an average ol 2.6 points.
WHY?
Well, the Investing public must
have figured It out something like
this: "If the railroads had Increased
their rates by 15 per cent, a large
part of their business would have
gone over to the trucks and boats,
thus affecting seriously the earnings
of the railroads.'
"But since they are NOT to be per
mitted to raise their rates, their pros
pects of holding their business are
bettered."
HEBE Is an experience that many
business men are having In
these days: When real bargains are
offered people snap them up.
That Is to say, when people see ex
actly1 what they want, they BUT.
Industry's present problem Is to
llnd out what people want and then
provide It.
fRBGON agriculture Is finding that
out. Eggs, for example.
. Oregon poultrymen produce fine,
white-shelled, perfectly fresh eggs,
ship them clear across the continent
and sell them In New York at a pre
mium over local Eastern eggs that
Is high enough to offset freight costs
and show a profit.
They have found out what people
back there want, and are SUPPLY
ING It. Buyers are paying the price.
M
BUTTER is another example.
Coos Bay and the Lower Colum
bia country are producing 93 score
butter, which means butter made of
sweet cream, under strictly sanitary
conditions.
Coos Bay and the Lower Columbia
country are SELLIMO their. 93 score
butter, getting good prices.
Again quality scores.
IF YOU read the papers at all, you
MUST have been reading about
England. And It Is probable that you
bave drawn the conclusion that
things are In a pretty bad way over
there, with the future looking ex
ceedingly dark.
Listen:
More than a century, and a half
ago William Pitt, a great Englishman,
certainly not lacking In courage, said:
"There is scarcely anything around
us but ruin and despair."
IN THE early years of the last cen
tury, Wllber Force said: "I dare
not marry, the future Is so dark' and
unsettled." Lord Orey, In 1819, wrote
that "everything Is tending to con
vulsion." The Duke of Wellington, on the eve
of his death In 1851, thanked Ood he
"would be spared from seeing the
consummation of ruin that Is gath
ering about us."
DISRAELI, In 1849, wrote: "In In
dustry, commerce and agricul
ture, there Is no hope."
Queen Adelaide said she "had only
one desire, to play the part of Marie
Antoinette with bravery In the -revolution
that Is coming on England."
Lord Shaftsbury, In 1848, said:
"Nothing 'can save the British empire
from shipwreck."
GLOOMY views,' all of them, aren't
they?
And yet, In spite of these gloomy
predictions on the part of great men,
England pulled through every one of
the crises referred to and rode on to
further greatness.
She will again.
N THIS country, some three or four
months ago. William Trutont Fos
ter collected the opinions of a dozen
prominent economists and quoted
them at a dinner. .They were all
gloomy and depressed. Practically
without exception, they asserted that
It would be years before the current
.depression could end.
Then he amazed his hearers by tell
ing them that these pessimistic opin
ions wer. given by the economists In
the fall of 1921, and that when they
were given the country was well out
of the depression of 1920 and early
1921 and within six months more had
gone so far forward on the road to
renewed prosperity as to arouse fears
of a boom.

NEW YORK. Oct. 22. (AP) Pre

in Its history.
Cheering thousands banked Bat

through It all, watched huge air
planes overhead, and faced a great
crowd of photographers and reporters
with aplomb.

"Let me Bee the statue of liberty,"
he said In the midst of It all. Then
he craned his neck out a window of
the municipal tug Macon, which,
with pennants streaming, was about
to land him on American soil.
"Ah beautifull" he said.
At city hall where he was escorted
with the thrilling pomp New York
displays for Its heroes, he said he
came from a nation determined to
cooperate with America to help re
store prosperity.
"A grave crisis has arisen which
has interrupted your development as
well as that of other countries," he
said. "In a world torn with doubt
our two great democracies together
must search for and apply methods
which will restore calm and re-establish
equilibrium."

EXPRESS SERVICE
S. P. FOR VALLEY
Officers of the Southern Pacific at
the request of representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce of Ashland,
Medford and at Grants Pass, met at
Ashland May 9th last for a friendly
discussion of the railroad situation,
the chambers of commerce desiring
to know in what way they might be
helpful to the railroad.
Among various suggestions was one
made by representatives of chambers
of commerce and traffic organizations
that the railroad should Improve its
condition by faster freight deliveries,
and to accomplish this that they ar
range to carry merchandise in cars
placed at the head of passenger
Trains 33 and 34.
It was argued that by so doing,
the S. P. would not only improve
service but would enable merchants
patronizing the truck lines to favor
the railroad with business which be
cause of slow freight service tliey
were now forced to ship by truck.
It was stated by the raid road of
f Heals there were many obstacles in
the way In addition to the Item of
increased expense but that the sug
gestion would be given careful con
sideration. J. H. Mulchay, freight traffic man
ager announced here today that ef
fective October 26th merchandise
moving between Portland and Rogue
River valley points, will be placed in
baggage cars and transported on the
head end of the trains mentioned en
abling over-night service.
Cars will be set out and freight
made ready for delivery immediately
following arrival of the trains.
CUT MILK HERDS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. (AP)
Dairy farmers are urged to destroy
one-tenth of the country's milk cows
to prevent over-production in a re
port submitted to the farm board.
The report, prepared by the dairy
advisory committee, an 'agency of
dairy cooperatives, points out that
herds have been increasing for four
years which will eventually lead to
large surpluses and low prices despite
recent increases In prices.
In addition to asking each farmer
to eliminate one cow out of each ten,
the committee also suggested that all
low-producing cows be culled and
sold for slaughter and that addition
al heifer calves be vealed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. (AP)
The government la considering a
plan of a selective sales tax as means
of raising money to counter-balance
its declining Income.
While no definite decision has
been made as to whether it will be
recommended to congress, experts
are carefully combing the field to
see what articles could be Included.
They have considered many articles
and it has been definitely decided
that no tax can be placed upon
articles of food, rent, fuel or other
necessities. Such articles as matches.
automobiles, radios and perhaps cig
arettes were considered as logical
sources for bringing in additional
revenue.
Taxes on such articles, officials
believe, would largely be absorbed
by the manufacturer and not affect
the purchaser.
Automobiles formerly were taxed,
but the tax was eliminated In the
1926 revenue act over the opposi
tion of Secretary Mellon.

China and the league council, appear

Although Japan ostensibly was

a search by police today for Mrs.
Winnie Ruth Judd, suspected killer
of two women companions, Miss

The hunt was turned to this quar

where Burton J. McKlnnell, brother
of the woman, has been living, when
a policeman found a blanket and a
quantity of food within one of the
holes.
The officer has been assigned to
watch the cabin In the belief that
Mrs. Judd might attempt to seek
refuge there. In wandering about
the hillsides, where several crimes
of violence have been committed In
rcent years, the office came upon
the cache.
Investigators were unable to de
termine whether the food and
blanket had been left there by some
adventurer or by the fugitive. The
hillsides are dotted with similar re
treat, and officers, keyed to a
search of every possible clue, organ
ized a hunt to explore all of them.
Detectives still held to the belief
that Mrs. Judd Is In hiding some

BEVEBXY miiLS, Cal., Oct
22. Been having big celebra
tion down at Yorktown. The
state of Virginia is celebrating
their taking over the 13 colo
nies from England, eventually
losing the management of them
to Pennsylvania and Hellon. I
bet if Cornwallis was alive to
day he would have entered into
the spirit of that celebration,
for he just looked ahead 150
years and lost that war on pur
pose. Look at the Philippines.
If one of our generals would
lose them for us he would be
our great national hero.
