SAMUEL 6EABUBY, who haa been
conducting the Walker Investiga
tion, eenda to Governor Roosevelt a
copy of the testimony taken and
along with it he aenda a letter In
which he states that Jimmy Walker
la unfit to continue In office as
mayor of New York.
Thla la done Just ahead of the
..Democratic national convention,
' which will either nominate Governor
Roosevelt as the Democratic candi
date for President, or will REFUSE
to do ao and Instead nominate some
one else.
IP Governor Roosevelt removes May
or Jimmy, he will make a lot of
Tammany enemies, and Tammany Is
a very considerable power in the
Democratic national convention,
which requires a two-thlrda vote to
nominate.
If he DOESN'T remove Mayor
Walker, he will expose himself to the
suspicion that he Is protecting Tam
many, and that won't look ao good
to the delegates from the South and
the West. '
Governor Roosevelt, you see, haa
been put on the spot.
EVERYTHING considered, Including
the fact that a lot of New York
ers would like to prevent the nomi
nation of Governor Roosevelt, do yon
reckon this Walker Investigation Just
happened at the present psychologi
cal moment, or waa It PUSHED

Inwardly In great shape.
Th Democracy of Jackson county.
Is enjoying Its usual rift, as a result
of the precinct committeemen meet
ing last week, wherein J. Emmet t
(Mose) Barkdull was elected congres
sional committeeman and Attorney
Prank DeSouza was re-elected coun
ty chairman by two votes. Attorney
DeSouza has been a work horse of
Democracy, and narrowly escaped
plot to unseat him. DeSouza's friends
in the ranks think that his toll en
titled him to more considerate treat
ment.
Waving of the olive branch over
the local Bourbons Is forecast, as the
Democrats get over their "mads'
quicker than the Republicans, but
get mad at each other oftener. The
late primary left some sore spots
which will have to be healed.
The Republican party of the coun
ty has the task of looking dignified

June 20 Conference
In Una with the campaign to bring
immediate relief to "Medford'a own

work, launched last week by the
unemployed themselves, an open
meeting has been called by Mayor
E. M. Wilson for next Monday night
at the county court house for dis
cussion of the solution offered by
the unemployed committee.
A call has been Issued for rep

Barnes Asks Help
Announcement of the meeting was
made at Ktwanls club luncheon at
the Hotel Medford today by J. C.
Barnes, who asked the co-operation
of the club tn facing the unemployed
problem.
The committee appointed to repre
sent the Klwanlans at the meeting
Is composed of J. C. Mann, C. C. Lem
mon and R. Q. Fowler. Presenting a
request for co-operation, Mr. Barnes
emphasized the growing need for
work to stabilize living conditions In
Medford, pointing out that If people
do not obtain work In the very near
future they will be forced to move
from their homes Into shacks or
tents. Many of them, he added, have
already come to him seeking shacks
in which they may exist,; escaping
the various assessments attached to
proper living, until the depression
period Is ended. The 111 effects of
such an out of home movement
would have upon the city at large
were stressed by Mr. Barnes, who
declared that now Is the time to build
better homes for our people, to raise
the standard of living, not to aboll&h
It by seeking lower levels of habita
tion. Tax Petition Passed
Introducing tax conservation pro
gram, which be described as closely
associated with alms to decrease un-
eployment, Hamilton Patton address
ed the club and asked for the signa
tures of all members on the two pe
titions he Is circulating to get placed
on the November ballot lull's pro
viding for regulation of taxes.
He repeatedly Informed his audi
ence that signing the petitions does
not obligate any individual to vote
for the bills, but enables the com
mittee to get them placed upon the
ballot and submitted to the people.
The petitions are available at all
banks In the city, at the Chamber
of Commerce building and at Mr. Pat-
ton's office, the Southern Building
and Loan association on West Main
street.
Victor Bursell of the county court,
a guest at the luncheon, asked his
opinion of the two bills, stated that
he agreed with their content but
feared they would meet with oppo
sition through the people's idea that
they are too bureaucratic.

to determine Just how much loss will
be occasioned from this cause until
after the June drop.
On June first prospects were fair
