PA'GE ETGHT MEDFORD SCCTL TRTBtrNT!, MEDFORD, OREGON, TTESD3T, TCM! 21, 1932. IS (Continued Irum rag One) meeting called by Mayor B. M. Wtl aon and adopted by the relief pro gram outlined by the waya and mean committee of the Medford Association of Unemployed. A ways and means committee, representing the city, waa authorized to cooper ate with the committee from the unemployed in putting the plan Into Immediate action. The two groupa will act u a board of control to pro mote the relief program. The meeting waa the largeat and nut enthualaetle held alnce Medford and Jackson county a a whole have come to realize the existence of the unemployed problem. Represntatlves of all aervlce cluba. the county court, city council, city health unit, secre tary rind board of dlrectora of the chvnber of commerce, community eheat official, officer of the Fruit Growers' league. Traffic aaaoclatlon. financial lnatttutlona and Induatrlea, a well ae the unemployed popula tion, were In attendance. Program Detailed by Borne The program developed by the joblea through week of earneat conalderatlon of the altuatlon waa traced by J. 0. Barne, their spokes man. Through the uae of chart and the written recommendation of the association he explained In detail the demand and operation of the pro gram, which through cooperative ef fort will supply food, ahelter, light and water to the unfortunate rank who are anxiously awaiting the diy when the wheels of indiutry will Ue turning again. Before Introducing the plan, which provides for an exchange of labor for aupplle and service, Mr. Barnes traced the history of Medford to im press upon his audience the serious ness of the present dsy problem and the obligation owed the ranks, who have participated In the progress cf the city, only to find themeeive to (sy with all "the work finished." Many llrk Necessities "Many famlllea are without milk. many others are unable to pay for the mountain aprlng water, of which Medford ha boasted. Many more are unable to pay for their 'lights," Mr. Barne pointed out. "They heve been builder nd spenders," he declared, "and certain ly deserve to remain workers.t That 1 all they are asking. They can no longer pay for these services in cash. So we have devised a plan whereby they may pay for them In labor." Under the program advanced a business agent's office will be pro Tided by the city council, without ettra burden upon the taxpayer. The Unemployed association will issue labor agreement, which will be exchanged for services and In turn sold and the lunds, derived, placed In care of the city treasury. The man no longer able to pay for the water aupply In hi borne, for example, wlU Join the aaaoclatlon. which act a a responsible agent to the city. He will alga an individual labor agreement for the amount of water to be used. He will In turn receive an order for the water and ' labor agreement, endorsed by the un employed to the amoun of the ordei , which the city will accept for water payment In lieu of caeh. Provision of light and other pro duct, necessary to subsistence, would be supplied under the same general plan. The eligibility of applicant under the program will depend upon coun ty citizenship and ruling by a com mittee. Provide Storehouse Another feature of the recom mendations, adopted at the open meeting, provide for the creation of a atorehouae In which supplies can be stored for distribution. Steps will be tsken to trade with farmers for fruit and vegetabela. Provision will also be made for the clty'a unemployed youth through or ganization of a club for work and study. Recreation camps are sug gested a a further development along thle line. Stressing the need to keep Med ford people within their homes, Mr. Barnes celled attention to the fact that of the unemployed 'ranka reg istered in the recent call, nine out of ten expressed the desire to "return to the soil, to get back on the land." Want No Transients "We want these men to atay within their houses," he stated In refuta tion of such a program, "and we want the unemployed of other reg ions to stay out of here. The In fluence of previous advertising of Medford, Mr. Barnes cited the cause of the probable gathering lure of many transient. Following presentation of the rec ommendations. Mayor Wilson called for open discussion. W. A. Oatea In response Introduced a proposal for equal division of employment a a solution, stating that h would will ingly add to the staff of his stores If other merchant and business men would do the same. Under hia sug gestion the socialistic plsn of divid ing the work among the workers would be adopted. The suggestion wa followed by spirited applause from the unemployed rank but no action was taken regarding the mat ter. O. O. Alenderfer voiced his ap proval of the recommendetlona pre sented. A repeated call for discus sion brought no more comment from the floor and the resolution was pre sented and adopted. A meeting of the Joint committee will be oalled In thr near future, with the following group continuing to represent the unemployed: Ouy L. Ray, Prank L. Applegate, K. J. KnuUon, H, O. Wilson and W. H. Jarmln. EXECUTION STAY A iUy of execution and writ of probable causa waa Issued thla morn ing by the atate supreme court In be half of A Win Tollefson, confessed Cen tral Point bank robbery hoaxer. The atay of execution waa signed by Chief Justice H. J. Bean of the supreme court, and was telegraphed for aervlce upon County Cleric Deli 11a Stevens Meyer and Sheriff Ralph Q. Jennings. Tollefson was sentenced to serve two years In state prison, by Circuit Judge H. D. Norton, on June 10. last, and ten days extension of time was granted before Issuance of commitment pa pers. The period of grace expired today. The legal maneuvering la prelimin ary to appealing to Oovernor Julius L. Meier for a pardon or remission of sentence. Under the Oregon law, a period of 30 days must elapse be tween the time of filing a clemency plea and the date of filing with the district attorney, of Intention to seek executive clemency. The stay of execution and writ of probable cause, assures Tollefson liberty until the governor mukea a final decision. Notice of Intention to seek clem ency waa filed with the district attor ney yesterday by Tollefson through his attorney, A. E. Reamea. Notice of Intent to seek a writ of mandamus directing Circuit Judge Norton to Issue a writ of probable cause was also filed, hut this la now void as tho supreme court granted same to day. Judge Norton yesterday refused to grant a writ of probable cause. Notice of appeal to the state supreme court was alao filed yesterday. The notice of plea for executive clemency, Is based upon the following grounds: That no Indictment was returned, or complaint filed; that Tollefson perpetrated the ruse, with no Intent to Injure or defraud; that the alleg ed abstraction of the money from the bank, constituted no felony and that the facta as presented do not consti tute a crime. It was also stressed that no officer, stockholder, director, or depositor In the bank had made complaint, but Instead had signed petitions seeking a parole. It la also set forth, that Tollefson has never before been In trouble, that his recent court experiences have been a lasting lesson, and that evi dence will be presented to the gover nor In due time supporting the plea for clemency. At the time of sentence, no recom mendations were made by the dis trict attorney, but Tollefson'a algned confession waa presented to the court. Tollefson 1" the statement ad mitted that he defaulted, and re ported a fake bank robbery to cover up defalcations lost In gambling. The last time a writ of probable cause and atay of execution waa Is sued for this county was on behalf of James Klngaley, afterwards bang ed for the murder of Sam O. Preacott, Ashland policeman.
