Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
BOB SAWYER, editor of the Bend
Bulletin, former state highway
commissioner, baa two hobbles. One
la Central Oregon history, on which
ha la an authority. The other la In
dian picture writing.
It you want to make Bob happy,
lead him out behind a Juniper tree
and abow him a rock with Indian
picture writing on It, He will call
you blessed.
HM. NOLTE, ot Lakevlew, aa you
have read In thla column, Is
likewise Interested In Indian picture
writing, and away over on the Lake
Klamath county boundary, on the
other side of the mountains, he has
found, carved on the rocks, aymbola
that are closely similar, he says, to
those found on the Maya ruins In
Mexico and Central America.
Hoes that mean that these strange
peoples wandered aa far north as
Southern Oregon?
YOU may aay, of course, that It
doesn't matter that what the
ancient Mayas did makes It no easier
for you and me to earn a living In
thla day and age. But we are all
gifted with a healthy bump of curios
ity, and there isn't one of us that
wouldn't like to know just what was
going on In thla country hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of years ago.
A MONO all the rock Inscriptions
to be found In the great country
east of the mountains, none are more
Interesting, or perAapa more myiter
lous, than those In the Tule lake
country. In Modoc county, in North-!
eastern California.
These writings occur along the base
of a great volcanlo apur that was
formerly an Island In Tule lake, but
which now rises from the flat floor of
the rich agricultural valley that re
mains after the draining of the lake
and the reclamation of its bed.
This rocky spur is known locally as
"the Peninsula,"
A' N Interesting 'point about these
writings la that they are to be
found only below the former water
level of the old lake.
This may mean, of course, merely
that the water preserved the rather
soft rock In which they are carved,
preventing It from weathering, so that
the carvings that were below the
level of the lake remained Intact,
whereas those that may tiave been
above the water level weathered away.
But at least It does Indicate that
at some time In the past Tule lake
waa dry, or at least very low, and that
during tills period the writings were
made.
Thla period probably occurred dur
ing some extremely dry cycle.
AN even more Interesting point la
that these writings are not at
all similar to the picture writings
that are quite common throughout
Eastern Oregon, and which are or
dinarily done with paint.
They are carved, not painted, and
are carved rather deeply. And they
are not "picture" writings. That Is
to say, they are not pictures ot things.
They are similar to some strange
and weird alphabet, or even more like
some primitive, prehistoric system ot
shorthand.
NELSON REID.'of Klamath Palls,
suggests that they may be
"mnemonic" writings. "Mnemonic"
la a high-sounding word meaning an
aid to the memory.
Shorthand, you see, 1 "mnemonic"
writing that Is, It la merely en aid
to the memory, something that helpa
the writer to remember what was said
by some speaker,
Ke suggests that these writings may
have been made by priests to help
them to remember some rltus) or tra
dition something handed down by
word of mouth from generation to
generation.
XJOW, regarding these writings, her
' la s curioua fact:
They occur at the base of a great
cliff that must have been near the
shrunken waters ot the lake. Such a
spot would have been an Ideal camp
ing spot, and so would have been
likely to have been frequented by
whatever people were living in the
country at the time.
But around the base of thla. cliff no
arrow heads, no mortars, no pestles
none of the things commonly found
around old Indian camping grounds
have been discovered.
THAT might mean either of two
things that the people who
carved these symbols on the rock
were an earlier people than the arrow

league had done during the past
year, with the co-operation of other
agencies, in reducing the tax levy

a proposed constitutional amendment
to put into effect the combined
Indiana and Oregon plan, and a

dwarfed running mate the economy
bill.
After refusing 12 to to reopen
the rate section of the 1.010.000,000
revenue measure, the senate finance
committee reportd It and bi-partisan
determination to press it through is
evident.
The bill raises the income tax and
corporation rates above the increases
voted by the house. It repeals many
of the special excise levies provided
by the house and offsets this loss .n
revenue with a rubber import duty,
higher automobile levies and greater
admission taxes.

copper and lumber remain In the
bill.

consideration in the senste not later
than Thursday,
The new Income rates are 3 per
cent on the first 4,600 income; 6
per cent on the next $4,000, and 9
per cent above $8,000. The present
rates are 3 and B, respectively.
while the house voted rates of 3. 4
and 7 per cent, respectively. A maxl
mum surtax of 45 per cent on In
domes over i!,000,00p is provided.

tee went to work on the vital supply
and economy, bills, determined to
bring about savings of more than
$300,000,000 which are necessary to
make the new tax bill balance the
1533 budget.
' Over In the house, the economy
committee which had it omnibus
bill shattered, was called to meet
thU afternoon on' plans for other
moves to cut government costs.

gram.
Chairman McDuffle, In making the
announcement of the house economy

35-HOUR WEEK
HELD PATHWAY
TO PROSPERITY
The 35-hor week as solution tor
Vie present depression and means of
turning back to the wheels of in
dustry the more than eight million
unemployed in the United States,
waa described by D. C. Kenny, con
sulting engineer of national reputa
tion, to members of the Kiwanis club
at luncheon at the Hotel Medford
today. The same plan was presented
President Hoover by Mr. Henny a
few weeks ago and met with approval
and the president's announcement of
a similar plan, sow under considera
tion, which Mr. Henny stated be
could not reveal today.
Reviewing the industrial history of
the United States with which he has
been closely associated as engineer
since the early eighties, Mr. Henny
showed that during ether periods of
stress, when the machine threatened
to eliminate labor. Vie working hours
were decreased.
When the eight-hour day was
adopted, he recalled, many indus
trialists prophesied calamity for the
country. It did not come. The
wheels kept turning as they did when
the 13-hour day gave way to the
10-hour. And so they would again,
be declared.
According to his plan, all labor
would be limited to a 35-hsur week.
Transportation of materials produced
under any other system would be
made unlawlul by congress, thus
forcing all states to comply with the
regulation.
If the constitutionality of sacs a
law were questioned, he explained, It
would take at least a year s time to
declare it so and, in the meantime.
adequate benefits would be derived
to convince the court of the advis
ability of tta retention, Mr. Henny
stated. The plan might Injure for
eign trade, he admitted, but would
re-establish a .heavy domestic market,
Work should be divided between
the workers, Mr, Henny maintained.
The machine producing more leisure
for a greater number of men compos
ing a blessing instead of a curse.
Turning to the laboring men, he
recently viewed in unending bread
lines in New York, Mr. Henny con
cluded. "The laboring man is a man
I like. He is hot vicious. He has
much common sense. But I wonder
how long he can retain his sense,
when he Is out of work.
Those eight million men represent
the support of twenty million people.
Unemployed they compose a danger
ous threat, hanging over America.
Mr, Henny. his wife and daughter,
Mrs. B. C. Haworth of Portland, stop
ped In Medford thla morning to visit
the P. C, Dillard. They will con
tinue to San Francisco this evening.
