e PXflTC TAVO AfEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKl). OREGON, "WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1932. RACKETEERING IN LIONS CLUB JALK financial rackets and racketeers formed the subject of Corporation Commissioner Jamea Mott'a address today noon at the luncheon of the Llon'a club at the Hotel Holland. The rackets, operated In the atate or Oregon before hla entrance to office, he atated, robbed tha Investing pub lic of between 16 and 2ft million dollara. He listed the leading rackeU aa: Formation of an Insolvent corpora tion, formation of a, aolvent corpo ration of which control la acquired and money diverted through Illegal channels, and the building and Joan racket, the one most commonly em ployed. ' Such racketa, he explained, under the Blue Bky laws of Oregon, which are among the most atrlngent In tha nation, could not exist If the corporation department were func tioning properly. At leoat 13. he said, were operating In Oregon, when the present administration entered office. All have been effectively stopped and all racketeers, who have stood trial so far, have been con victed of the financial crime of which they were accused by the cor poration department. All building and loan associations now operating in Oregon Commis sioner Mott described aa absolutely sound. The Prudential will soon be ready to be turned back to the share holders. Building and loan associations, If oporated In accordance with the lawa of the state are among the moat financial organisations In x- ts enoe. the commissioner declared. t);iea crookedness and Illegal diver sion of funds enters the operation of a building and loan association' It Is .almost Impossible for It to fall. It the corporation department la on the lob It wlU be operated In accord. ance with the lews of the state, Mr. Mott concluded. The racketeers, who have operated In the atate of Oregon during the past alx or eight years, he pointed out, have exerted not only a strong financial Influence In the atate. but have wielded a powerful political whip. The Guardian Building and Loan association he classed aa one of the most outstanding examples of such a racket. Mr. Mott was Introduced today by O. T. Baker, secretary of the chamber of commerce.

Minute Men Report, Gatherings throughout the day and evening were programmed, beginning with a session at which ' minute men" gave John J. Raskob, party chairman, a report on the situation In each state. The orownlng event of the day, a gala banquet tonight, will have fop mer Oovernor Smith, Harry Flood Byrd of Virginia, Governor Ritchie of Maryland and Senator J. Hamilton Lewie of Illinois, aa spakere. All the apeakers on the luncheon program let loose critical darts at th) administration tariff and relief measures, but only one Representa tive Norton took a fling at prohibi tion. Urging abandonment of the prohi bition bureau, ahe said the "noble experiment" has cost the American people 0370,000.000 for enforcement, not counting the revenue "which could be had from a legalised tax on beer and wine; while the oost In mur- dera. suicides, corruption, crime and prison and Insane asylum upkeep can not be estimated." Closed Minds on Hill. While all of this Is developing, ahe added, "the leader of our coun try la not sufficiently Interested to even attempt to discover the remedy. Men on Capitol hill with closed mlnda refuse to read the evident handwrlt Ing on the wall." Taking the "harmful results of 'new economics' aa hla text, Senator Robinson termed the Hoover relief proposala as "palliatives, not cures,' and said financial Institutions had been alow to avail themaelves of the privilege afforded by the "Glass Steagall act, a Democratic measure," "due to fear which seems to have paralysed the bralna of thoaa who control the sources of credit." After saying a "nation-wide props ganda (In 1638) built up the myth that a letter mailed anywhere to the 'miracle man' would be promptly de llveYed to Mr. Hoover," the Arkansaa senator, vice-preeldenttal nominee In that campaign, said every policy ad vanced by the Prealden then "la now generaly regarded aa unsound, and hy many regarded aa a direct cause of the depression." "Everything that Mr. Hoover aald would happen failed to oocur," he continued. "Everything that he prom ised would not occur has taken place." PORTLAND. Apm 18 (AP) Sen ator Stelwer, according to a Wash ington, D. C, dispatch to the Journal, eald today he will offer hla amena- ment for a tax on lumber Imports, In the shape of an excise duty In stead of an amendment to the tariff act. .
