Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
IK THE first aix months of this
year, 103 persona were killed In
automobile accidents In Oregon. Dur.
lng the corresponding period of last
year, the number ol latal accidents
amounted to 130.
The depression seems to be affect
ing reckless driving, along with a
lot of other things.
STILL, the totals are Impressive
enough.
" During the first half of thla year,
as already stated, 103 persons were
"killed In automobile accidents In
Oregon, and 3,111 were Injured. Dur
ing all of last year, 385 persons were
killed and S,95 were Injured.
Careless driving takes a frightful
toll for carelessness, In one form
or another, la responsible for most
automobile accidents.
DRIVERS between the ages of as
and 39 were responsible for the
largest number of accidents, and
those between the ages of 15 and
84 came next.
This doesn't mean muoh, however,
u by far the largest number ol
drivers on the hlghwaya falls within
the ages of 25 and 39.
A MONO the causes of accidents,
disregard of the right of way
took the lead, with failure to signal
and cutting In coming nert. Dis
regard of the right of way, however.
Is far out in front.
The moral Is this: Keep on your
own side of the road.
WHILE we are' quoting statistics,
the depression appears to have
effected another Oregon Industry
jkhe divorce Industry.
In 1930 Oregon was exceeded In
number of dlvoroes per thousand ol
population by only two states In
the Union Oklahoma and Nevada.
But In 1931, Oregon fell from third
place in the divorce column to
EIGHTH place being exceeded by
Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Arizona,
Nevada, Washington and California.
In that one year, our divorce rate
per thousand of population fell from
0.95 to 3.60.
As we get poorer, apparently, we
seek to economise by keeping the
asms husbands and wives.
Automobile men are telling us It
works the same way with cars.
WE ARE wicked, you see, when
we are prosperous, and as our
Incomes begin to fall off we aban
don our vices and become virtuous.
THERE Is an old saying to the ef
fect that every rule has Its ex
ception. Nevada provldea the exception to
the rule that divorce Is a luxury
that people deny themselves In hard
times. In Nevada, In 1930. the cU
Torce rate per thousand of popula
tion waa 28.67 high enough, In all
conaclenoe whereaa by 1931, only a
year later, It had risen to 57.17.
The kind of people who go to Ne
vada to get divorced Just HAVE TO
HAVE their divorces, good times or
bsd.
HERE Is a curious thing:
In the states west of the
Rockies, the divorce rate ' Is mate
rially higher than In the states east
of the- Rockies so much higher as
to challenge immediate attention
from everyone reading the figures.
What's the matter with us out
here In the west? Are we harder
to please?
Or do we prefer to split up, rather
than to fight?
SPEAKING oflndustrles, hers Is a
new one for Southern Oregon.
At the foot of Oreen Springs
mountain, Just east of Ashland, they
are planning to capture carbonic
acid gas escaping from a vent In
the earth and manufacture dry Ice
from It.
They estlmat that gas to the
commercial value of 12000 a day is
escaping from vents beneath the
waters of Emigrant creek.
& a
f r TOTJ dont keep up with modern
progress, you may not know what
dry Ice la. It Is Ice made by com
pressing gaaea Just as liquid air
Is made for laboratory experiments
by compressing air.
It Is much colder than frown
water, Its temperature going down
toward 100 degrees below rero, Por
that reason, much lesa of It is
needed to maintain a given tem

President Hoover today faced a
threat that he must call a special
session of congress within 24 hours
to pay the bonus or the White
House will be picketed.
The warning came from Urban
Ledoux "Mr. Zero." just before Ma
jor General Smedley D. Butler ad
vised a ragged crowd of veterans
at their camp that If they did go
home they should work at the polls
to "lick the hell out of those who

PRESIDENT KERR
-PORTLAND, Ore., July 20. (;p)
Declslon to Invite "certain eastern
educators" to come to Oregon to con
fer with the state board of higher
education regarding the position of
chancellor of higher education was
announced by the board last night.
Following an executive session
which ended a two-day meeting, the
following statement was Issued, with
out comment:
The board this evening has directed
that certain eastern educators be In
vited to visit Oregon In the very near
future with regard to the position of
chancellor of the Oregon state sys
tem of higher education, to give them
an opportunity to; become acquainted
with the members of ttn board and to
Inspect the system."
Under a new unified system re
cently adopted, all the Institutions
of higher education In the state
University of Oregon, Oregon State
college and three Normal schools
will be under the direction of one
chancellor, responsible only to the
board. There will be a president, or
lieutenant, on each campus, respon
sibel to the chancellor.
The board's statement apparently
ended a movement to have Dr. W. J.
Kerr, president of Oregon State col
lege, selected for the new post.

Old-Time Military Precision
Shown in Effort to Bring
Order Berlin, Braden
burfl Under Firm Hand
BERLIN. July 20. (p The Ger
man government, with old-time mili
tary precision, moved swiftly this
morning to establish a virtual dicta
torship over the huge state of Prus
sia and to clamp down martial law on
the city of Berlin and the province
of Bradenburg.
The first action was taken under
au emergency decree issued by Presi
dent Paul Von Hlndenburg thla morn
ing. It followed critical pressure up
on the government to stop the po
litical riots which have taken a toll
of more than 100 dead and 1200 In
jured in the last three weeks.
Chancellor Franz Von Papen was
appointed commissioner of Prussia
and Lord Mayor Franz Bracht of Es
sen waa named the chancellor's as
sistant and given the dictatorial
power. In Von Papen 's name.
The decree of martial law was Is
sued when Karl Severing. Prussian
minister of Interior, declined to ac
cept the president's first emergency
decree as binding and declared he
would yield only to force. General
Gerd Von Rundstedt, commander of
the third Relchswehr (army) district
was placed In charge of Berlin and
Bradenburg under the martial law
order. He was also given command
of all police forces In this area.
Chancellor Von Papen decided, for
the present at least, to remove only
Premier Braun and Herr Severing
from the Prussian ministry, leaving
the rest of the members of the state
cabinet In office as his deputies.

Hint Canada May Break
United States Trade Tie
By Frank I. TTeller
(Associated Press Farm Editor)
OTTAWA, Ont., July 30. (P) An
Inference that the British empire
trade conference, which opens tomor
row, might prove a means for Canada
to "break away from the Influence
of tha United Btatet" was plumped
Into tha taps of the empire delegates
today.
Stanley M. Bruce, former premier
of Australia, stabbed through tha
mar of predictions of success that
resound through the corridors where
tha conference la talked to place-In
blunt words a question uppermost In
all minds. '
"Will a coheslva trade policy with
in tha unlta of the British empire
be purchased," he asked, "at the cost
of American commercial relations
with Canada?

. F. A. Bates, the aged Gold Hill
miner, Indicted by the last grand
Jury for alleged threat to commit
a felony, was arraigned before Circuit
Judge H. D. Norton this morning
and entered a plea of not guilty.
No date for trial waa sct, but It will
probably be at the fall term of court.
Bates la at liberty on bonds provided
by his daughter, Mrs. Margaret Lund
of Gold Hill and It. A. Banks, or
chardlat. Bates waa represented In
court by Attorney M. O. Wilkins
of Ashland, whd last week anrounced
his Intentions to be an Independent
candlda to for district attorney in
the fall.
The Indictment against Bates al
leges that the aged miner threatened
to shoot a mine worker during the
course of a dispute last winter.
The case waa one of those cited
during the May primary campaign,
aa "a miscarriage of Justice, and
"breakdown of law and order In
Jackson county." It has been of
high interest In the Gold Hill dls
trlct for several months. Two hear-
Ings of fhe case were held In the
Gold H1U Justice court. After the
second Bates went to kin In Wash
ington state. He returned shortly
after the Indictment was returned.
TOTAL SUM FOR
ROSEBURO, Ore., July 3.- (API
The total sum of $3,000,000 author
ized 9y congress for constructing the
Pacific northwest national soldiers'
home at Rose burg has been appropri
ated, according to a message received
here today from Congressman W. C.
Hawley. The Initial appropriation was
$1,000,000, to which the veterans'
bureau added $200,000 for building
a bridge and beautifying the grounds.
The Independent office bill, recently
approved by the president, Congress
man Hawley states, contains the ap
propriation of the additional $1,000,
000, which can be expended at the
discretion of the federal board of hos
pitalization as demand arises.
1755 BUILDINGS
According to figures compiled by
the assessor's office there are 1755
houses and buildings, business and
residential, In the city of Ashland.
The data was gathered by the state
tax commission in Its rearrangement
of the tax schedules, and each rhouse
or structure has Its "sound value"
and Its 1033 assessed valuation, and
the 1033 assessment will be based
upon the two sets of figures.
Data on the number of buildings
In thla city will not be available for
a week or ten days. It la, however,
estimated by Assessor J. B, Coleman
that there are between 4500 and 6000
structures In the corporate limits.
Referring to tha United States,
Canada's beat customer, as a "major
problem," Bruce said:
"There is always that tendency to
be absorbed by a bigger country, This
ought to be Canada's chance to break
away."
The Canadians, although they are
prepared to open the conference to
morrow with a proposal for an econo
mic alignment of one-third of the
earth's population and one-fourth of
Its known land surface against the
remainder, seemed unprepared for
the bluntnass of Bruce.

CITY'S PAYROLL;
Saving of $1062 Monthly
Made On Recommenda
tion Citizens Committee
All Departments Affected
In line with the recently adopted
city program, aimed to adjust ex
pcr.d:turss to a depression budtjet,
report of the citizens' committee,
recommending a saving of 91,002.75 a
month in the administration of city
government, through reductions of
salaries and elimination of several
names from the payroll, was pre
sented at the meeting of the city
council last night and adopted with
a few revisions. The reductions will
become effective August 1.
The recommendations provide ad
ditional and almost drastic economies
in view of the fact that reductions of
10 and 15 per cent in salaries of city
employes were adopted by the coun
cil a short time ago.
Under the new schedule the chief
of the fire department, formerly re
ceiving 170 a month, will receive
$150. The complete saving through
reductions In his department will
amount to 98.
Police Pay Slashed.
In the police department the chiefs
salary will be reduced from 1170 to .
$150, and all other policemen's sal
aries will be placed at $100. In ad
dition to this decrease, the committee
recommended elimination of the Jan
itor and Officer Bloom, effecting a
saving in the department of $239.35.
The council decided to shift tha
working hours to provide part time
employment for all the officers, in
preference to putting one off the
payroll.
Payment of city funds to the office
of police Judge was also decreased
from $45 a month to $25.
In the building and light depart
ment elimination of Frank Rogera
was recommended by the cUiaena1
committee, but action waa taken by
the council to retain Mr. Rogera at
a salary of $85. He baa been receiv
ing $170.
Other savings In thla department,
amounting to $100.35, were recom
mended by the committee. In tha
street department the superintend
ent's salary was cut from $233.75 a
month to $200. Foreman - Leal la
Scheffel was eliminated, and all other
salaries reduced to amount to a sav
ing of $410.35.
