Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS. .
HEBE la a statement that will In
terest you, because you will
probably disagree with It:
,More- outside cars have entered
Oregon this year than entered during
1 the corresponding period last year.
M
OST people are of the opinion
that guest travel Into Oregon
this vear Is materially under the
figure for last year.
The secretary of state's office,
however, reports that during the
first six months of 1833 non-resident
permits were Issued to 38,103
out-of-state motorists. During the
corresponding period of 1931, 34.810
permits were Issued.
The Increase for this year amounts
to 187.
ALONG that line, here Is an In
teresting statement made to
this writer the other day by the
manager of a large service station:
"Among the guest cars coming
through this year, there is a dis
tinctly larger percentage of big cars,
driven by apparently well-to-do peo
ple. The tin can tourist" who was
to much in evidence a few years ago
has practically disappeared.
"The people who are seeing the
country this year are chiefly people
to comfortable circumstances who
can afford vacations."
THESE comfortably situated peo
ple who are taking vacations
this year, however, are not throwing
their monev around recklessly. Hotel
men, rather generally, report
smaller- vacation patronage than In
past years. In spite of these figures
that indicate, a somewhat larger
number of guest cars.
The difference seems to be
counted for by the fact that more
people are staying at automobile
camps. If you will notice tese
camps, you will see at them consid
erable numbers of prosperous look
ing cars cars of the type that In
the oast has stopped chiefly at
good hotels. r - .
THAT raises an 'interesting ques
tlon: ,
Are these apparently well-to-do
people stopping " at motor camps
this year because they Jeel that
they' HAVE to practice economy, or
are they doing it because they
feel that being economical is the
correct pose?
FOR many, manyyeare in the past,
people generally have lived be
yond their incomes and have boasted
of It. "Keeping up with the Joneses
has been a national habit.
Are' we startng a NEW national
habit? Is economical living be
coming the fad? Is spending LESS
then you can afford coming to be
something to be boasted about?
THESE are Interesting questions.
They have a quite Important
bearing upon the conditions of living
that we shall face during the next
few years. The status of business
will depend rather largely upon the
answers to them.
vvfhat Is thrift? To lust what
" extent Is It good for everybody,
and at what point does It cease to
be a virtue?
These, too, are Interesting ques
tlons. - .
H"
ERS Is a good, old-fashlonea
reclDe for success: "vork like
hell, and never spend a cent."
But suppose that everybody worked
like hell and never spent a cent
WhBt would happen to business?
ECONOMICS wss formerly known
CON
the "dismal science." That
was In the days when the eco
nomist taught that when wages
get above the point absolutely neces
sary to keep body and soul of the
worker together, prices of the pro.
ducts of labor rose to the point
where people would no longer pay
them, and so business crashed.
In these days, we hsve a more
hopeful theory of economics. We
believe quite generally that the way
to make business good is to pay to
labor a wage sufficiently far above
the margin of bare living to enable
those who receive this wage to BUY
the product, of Industry, thus ere
atlng a large market.

ment relief met with the Jackson
county court, the local executive
committee and all women Interested
In food conservation and other ele
ments of the program to be carried
out In their division, at the county
court house this morning. The gath
ering was the most representative
and 'enthusiastic one, dealing with
the unemployment problem, held
here since realization of the period
of stress.
Judge Victor P. Moses, Judge of
Benton county and . representative
of the county courts of the state,
presided at the meeting at the invitation-
of Judge C. B. Lamkln.
Conditions Bared.
Other members of the council
present were Mrs. W. W. Gabriel.
chairman of the women's division
and Paul V. Marls, director of ex
tension service at Oregon State col
lege. Miss Claribel Nye of the ex
tension service was also present In
the Interests of food conservation.
Information, listing the needs of
Jackson county and portraying
realistic picture of present condi
tions here was presented the council
by members of the county court,
Miss Lillian Roberts, executive secre
tary of the Jackson County Red
Cross chapter, Mrs. Mabel Mack,
home demonstration agent and Mrs.
A. E. Reames, newly appointed county
chairman of the women's division in
the state work.
Following three .hours of intensive
consideration11 and discussion of the
plins presented by members of the
state council, a motion ln-duced
by Mrs. Edwin L. Knapp was passed
delegating to the local executive
committee power to set up working
committees and a program to deal
with the various phases of the prob
lem involved.
To Name Committee,
The committees will -be appointed
at an early date to enable Imme
diate operation of the relief program
In this locality.
The positive need for outside re
lief in this county was emphasized
by County Commissioner Victor Bur
sell, -who stated that "The people
are unable to carry the burden any
longer. We are unable to care for
the unemployment, emergency with
out outside assistance, we are liv
ing In hope of aid by federal appro
priation."
Victol Tengwald, secretary to the
county Judge, was then called upon
to list the number of unemployed
In the county and placed the total
for family heada at over 1000, who
are absolutely In need of work.
The number dependent upon part-
time labor reached 2317 last winter,
Mr. Tengwald stated. There are
now 1100 dependent upon part time
work.
An Increase for-the coming winter
waa estimated at 20 per cent over
the present figures by Judge Lamkln.
The amount of money requirea in
Klamath cocnty to care for the same
number of persons over a six months'
period. Judge Moses informed tne
organization, waa listed at $330,000.
The amount required In Jackson
county, he stated, would probably
be slightly lower In view of the fact
that conditions in general are a
little better here through diversified
farming.
Script is Promem.
The problem today, Mr. Maris
stated, in presenting the program
of work involving issuance of labor
print in trade for nroduce. Is "What
hall we eat. What shall we drink
Where wlthall shall we be ciotneu.

The romance of Mra. Minnie (Ma)
Kennedy, mother of the evangelist,
Almee Semple McPherson-Hutton,
and Guy Edward Hudson, came to an
end today when she signed a divorce
complaint.
As Mrs. Kennedy sat beside the
desk of her attorney, Marlon P.
Betty, modlshly gowned In a Mha
knit sport dress, and silk- hat to
match, she explained that blue typi
fied her feelings,. .v- - -
Referring to life with Hudson,
whom she married a year ago in a
moonlight ceremony on the banka of
a Washington lake, she said he owed
her (4200. His demand for money.
she said, had ruined her bankroll
"old sock," she called It.
Hudson, she continued, was Just "a
vagabond lover," and when "the old
sock began to unravel, Wh ataman
began to travel." He Is believed to
be enroute to Las Vegas, Nev where
a Job Is open to him. He has denied
he was going there to obtain a
divorce.
Mra. Hudson said: "I'm not only
love broke I'm financially broke. It
was 'Gimme, gimme, gimme,' from the
first night of our second ceremojiy
and now all I have left are Mr. Hud
son's promissory notes for $4200. Hus
bands are more expensive than law
yers. "Believe me, there's a big run In
the old sock now."
The notes, she said, were given to
meet the expenses of their first mar
riage near Long view, Wash., Jun 28,
1931, . the subsequent annulment
when Hudson's first wife reminded
hlra he had not obtained a divorce,
the divorce of the first wife, and the
second wedding and honeymoon.
"The very first night of our sec
ond marriage," she aald, "I knew It
couldn't last. But I always stick by
my bargains. I hoped I could
straighten Mr. Hudson out and get
him Into some business where he
eould make his own- way. But he
deceived me, spent the money I gave
him for liquor and when I remon
strated he threatened my life.
"I'm Just a little girl trying to get
along and I can't stand the strain
any longer."

IS FOILED WHEN
DEVICE LOCATED
The first forest fire of the season
In Jackson county was prevented
Sunday when the state polios by
chance discovered sn Ingenious con
traption planted near a trail In vte
heavily wooded timber southwest of
Ashland, near the Silver Creek mine.
The device consisted of a cheap
microscope attached to a piece of
fence wire and stuck In the ground,
with dry leaves and bits of brush
piled around It. The microscope
was so arranged that It would catch
the rays of the sun and Ignite the
leaves and the fire spread to the
dry grass. A cloudy sky was all that
prevented the plan of the firebug
from working.
A miner of the Silver Creek dis
trict first discovered the device while
coming down the trail, being at
tracted by a stray glint of sunshine
on the microscope. He reported the
matter to the authorities.
Members of the state police and
forest service said It was the first
time they had ever found a micros
cope fire-starter, though they long
suspected their use in forest incen
diarism.
It Is thought that the trap was
set In the evening, giving the arson
ist plenty of time to cmrer his tracks,
and blame the blase on a care
lessly thrown cigarette.

Decree Is Stern Document
BERLIN, July 12.rV) The Ger

cal rioting in which 15 persons were

The cabinet was faced with a num
ber of other possibilities, such ss the
declaring a state emergency as de
manded by various political groups,
forbidding the wearing of uniforms
as the Nazis demanded, but It con
as the Centrists and trade unions
want, or outlawing the Communists

most effective method of avoiding
further bloody week-ends.

Permission to wear uniforms con
tinued, however. The cabinet rein
stated them under pressure from
Adolf Hitler, Nazi leader, and could

Its own orders.
In some quarters It was maintain

permitted the possibility of further
