Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
ftpiVE nations In South America
In political turmoil." So reeda
a headline In tha newa ot tha day.
Business In South America got bad.
and stayed bad. Just as It got bad
and stayed bad all over the world.
So In South "America, they started
upsetting governments.
The point Involved la this: Upset
ting governments down there didn't
make business any better.
N Russia, they have finally finished
seeding their spring grain oropa
and have counted up the number of
acres seeded. The total la a million
acres under last year.
That la Interesting, because In
Russia they NEED the extra grain.
IIHY la the Russian acreage down,
when Russia needs larger acre
age In order to feed her people axle
quately?
Thla probably has something to do
with It: In Russia they have taken
away INDIVIDUAL INCENTIVE from
farmers and have 'made ' of ' grain
growing pretty largely a government
business.
The farmers, knowing that' they
have nothing to gain by growing
more grain, DON'T.
- .
A BOUT all the progress that has
ever been made In this world
has been made because of, some
body's belief that by getting In and
working harder and scheming more
effectively he could Improve his own
condition.
Take away that incentive and pro.
gress slows down,
IN a O. Gillette dies at an ad
K1
vanced age, and his death ii
chronicled In all the newspapers and
la read with Interest by millions of
people. He was an Important man.
Why waa he an Important man?
Because he contributed something to
progress, thus making thla world
better and plsasanter place to live.
He invented the aafety razor.
XTOW here la a curloua fact: .
The aafety razor started men to
shaving at home, Instead of going
down town to the barber shop to get
shaved: and yet, although men were
. shaving themselves Instead of getting
haved at the barber shop, the bar
bers didn't seem to suffer.
.The barbers of today are better off,
as a rule, than the barbers of 30 or
40 years ago, before safety razors were
even thought of.
HAT la the way with progress,
when It Is REAL progress. It
doesn't seem to hurt people.
When the power loom was Invented
K looked aa If It would spell the
doom of the hand weavers, and In
England the weavers rioted and da
atroyed the new machines.
But the use ot tke power loom
grew, and today there are many,
many times aa many weavers as be
fore the power loom was Invented,
and their wagea are many times
higher than the wagea of the hand
weavers In the old days.
THE linotype machine put an end
to hand setting of type In the
news columns of the newspapers, and
at the moment It seemed that some
thing calamitous had happened to
the printers.
But there are more printers today
than before the llntoype machine
was Invented, and they have better
houra and higher wages.
Don't be afraid of progress. It
won't hurt you.

REDUCE OWN PAY
IN ECONOMY DRIVE
Chief Rules Self $15,000
Cut Cabinet Officers
Drop to $12,750 Year
. Subordinates Also Shaved
WASHINGTON, July 15. (p)
President Hoover today ruled himself
a $15,000 a year reduction In salary,
and simultaneously reduced the sal
aries of his cabinet officers by 15
per cent.
The order, cutting cabinet mem
bera from $15,000 a year to $12,750
a year, was Issued while the Fresl
dent sat with them at his regular
semi-weekly cabinet meeting.
Mr. Hoover himself. It was aald
took a 20 per cent cut as the maxi
mum allowed under the law. Or
dlnarlly he receives $75,000 a year.
The following atatement waa Issu
ed at the White House:
"The President has received the
unanimous request from members of
the-cabinet, that they should be sub
ject to the maximum reduction of
salaries possible under the economy
bill. The President has, therefore,
Issued the neccrsary order by which
they will be reduced 15 per cent In
stead of the alternative which would
amount to 8 1-3 per cent under the
rurlough provisions." . ,
It was understood authoritatively
that undersecretaries In the various
departments would receive a 10 per
cenv cut under the same orders, and
assistant secretaries a 9 per cent re
duction. EGANlLTFLAY

which he won over a quarter of a
century ago, was the important an
nouncement made at a dinner given
in his honor at the Hotel Medford
last night by about 75 members of
tre Medford Golf club.
August P, Johnson sreslded ss
toaat master, and did the honors In
true High Octane fashion, incident
ally giving a record of Chan's golf
life, with a fidelity and detail that
would have made Johnson's Boa well
turn over in hla grave with envy.
c. j. semon, president of the gof
club, abandoned his prepared speech
at the laat moment, and rushed pell
mell into a flight of oratory which
held the aasmbled multitude spell
bound for at least three minutes.
O. J. concluded that Medford had
not properly appreciated Chan, that
people In Chicago and New York
knew more about him than the Med
fordltes do, and he declared that thla
would now all be changed.
Attorney O. M. Roberta followed
with a highly atlrring tribute to
Chan's sportsmanship, maintaining
that, great golfer that he la, he la
a greater as a sportsman and a gen
tleman. The secret of Egan'a phe
nomenal record In golf was touched
upon by Don Clark, who maintained
It rested on the fact th:.t Chan cared
more for shooting the best golf that
was In him at any given time, than
for the cups and nonors he might
win.
Leonard Carpenter, as a classmate
cf the honored guest at Harvard,
gave a brief insight Into his Inter
collegiate golfing activltlea and with
true Harvard indifference advised
hla hearera not to take Chan too
seriously, for, he added, Chan never
did.
One of the best speeches of the
evening was given by BUI Bo'.ger,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, who declared that while Cali
fornia might claim Crater lake, and
put out Oregon fruit under Its own
labels, to Oregon H. C, Egan would
always be "Our Chan." It waa a
short speech, but In good taste and
very much to the point.
After the various verbal bouquets
had been distributed, Chan himself
waa called upon and demonstrated
that he waa not only the best golfer
(end hammer thrower) present, but
by all odds the most graceful and
accomplished after-dinner epeaker.
All in all It waa a great occasion,
and a highly deserved, if somewhat
belated, tribute to the man who ha
put Medford on the map more ex
tensively and effectively than any
other resident of the valley,

WASHINGTON. July 15. (AP)
Bonus - seeking veterans continued
their trudging back and forth in
front of the capltol this afternoon,
while police puzzled over what to do
about it.
For the first time of late, doors
cf the capltol were closed to all ex

cent days numbers of veterans had
been congregating In the corridors

Differences between the District of

HURLEY SCOFFS
AT ROOSEVELT'S
DEAL IDEA
COLUMBUS, O., July 15. (AP)
The national administration's attack
on the presidential candidacy of
Franklin D, Roosevelt waa turned
loose for the first time In the middle-west,
last night, by Secretary of
War Patrick J. Hurley.
The apeech, declaring the Demo
cratic party and its candidate have
no program" for breaking the de
pression, was delivered at the plat
form convention of Ohio Republi
cans.
Both Hurley and U. 8. Senator
Simeon D. Fess praised President
Hoover. The secretary termed the
president the champion of American
principles, while Feaa described him
"the only man living equipped
to handle the problems of the day."
Turning to Roosevelt's apeech ac
cepting the Democratic nomination,
Hu-ley aald he waa intrigued by the
nomtnee'a pledge to a "new deal"
for the American people. "Just what
la thla new deal?" he asked. "The
governor does not enlighten us.!
Hurley made no mention of pro
hibition, but reviewed the adminis
tration's accomplish menta, which he
said Included a fight for mainte
nance of American standards of liv
ing, proper tariffs, opposition to
wage reductions, and the bolstering
of confidence of the financial world
and the stopping of bank failures
by the formation of a private bank
ing pool of half a billion doll am.
The secretary criticized the Demo
cratic vice-prealdentlal nominee. John
N. Oarner, and other members of
the house of representatives majority,
alleging they had attempted to put
the government Into business against
private enterprise."

came from, the bonus marchers on
the capltol ground should be re
quired to obey the law.
He outlined this position to the
capltol police authorities, but he de
clined to give to newsman his views
whether the ateady marching of the
veterans back and forth in front of
the capltol for the last two daya waa
a violation .of the law.
'The law ought to be enforced," he
said.
"No exception should be made sim
ply because they are veterans. It la
enforced upon all others. If there
are not sufficient men here to en
force It, there should be more. It
doesn't make any difference where
