'ERE are three headlines from the
market pagea of yesterday: "Buy
ing Benda AU Drain Prleea TJp."
'Cattle and Hog Markets Are High
er." Butter and Egg Markets Are
Firm."
These aia significant developments
is the news.
THY are they significant?
Well, If you want an answer to
that question, suppose you ask your
self THIS question: "When Is busi
ness going to get "better?"
Tou will find that this la about
the only answer that will fit: "When
people begin to get a little more
money to spend."
fJIOHEB grain prleea will put more
money In the pocketa of those
who have grain to sell. Higher hog
and cattle prices will put more money
In the pocketa of those who have hogs
and cattle to sell. Tlrmer butter
and egg markets will help to put
more money In the pocketa of those
who produce butter and eggs.
With a little more money 4ni their
pocketa. the producers of these ciarn-
modltles will be able to spend a T,'ttle
f
irnot a
more.
fcUT," you may say, I am
farmer. I have no grain, so
fcogs or cattle, no butter and eggs to
aell. I am a working man, and I am
out of a Job.
'How will higher prleea for these
things, which the farmer ha to aell
and which I must BUY, help me to
get a Job?'
THAT Is a reasonable question. Here
la the1 answer, which Is a reason
able answer:
Higher price for grain and cattle
and hogs and eggs and butter will
put a little more money In the pocket
of the farmer than he has had In
the past. 'When the farmer begins
to GET a little more money, he will
begin to SPEND a little more. In
that, he la Just like the rest of us.
We are ALL that way.
When the farmer begins to spend
a little more money, ho will create an
additional demand for the products
of industry such aa lumber. As addi
tional demand la created for the pro
ducts of industry, It will be possible
to put more men back to work.
Thus new Jobs will be created. Bee
how It works?
B
UT that Isn't all.
somew,hat higher prices for what he
lias to sell, begins to spend a little
more money and so creates additional
demand for the products of Industry,
more men are put back to work In
the mills and factories, and these
men who are put back to work begin
to get a little more money In their
-nocketa, whereas before they had
none.
So they are able to buy MORE
FOOD, and as they begin to buy more
tood the market for the farmer's pro
ducts begins to expand, and as the
market begins to expand the price,
In response to the law of supply and
demand, goes up still more.
N
TOW let's see what that means.
As the farmer's price gets bet
ter, he has STILL MORE money to
spend and by spending It he creates
an ADDITIONAL demand for the pro
ducts of Industry, thus making It
possible to put MORE MEN back at
work. As more men are put back at
work, they buy more of the products
of the farm. And bo on.

Underworld Forces Seek to
Control Organized Vice, Is
Revelation After Latest
Outrage Thirteen Held
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 30. (AP)
Factional strife between opposing
forces of the underworld who seek
to control organised vice In Portland
la blamed by District Attorney Lotus
L. Langley for the bombing yesterday
of a Fourth street rooming house, an
allegedy disorderly resort. '
A nitroglycerin bomb was explod
ed In the stairway of the place. The
explosion was so great that windows
in buildings across the street were
blown out and the entire district
shaken.
We now have evidence," Langley
declared today, "that the bombing Is
part of a definite campaign for es-
abllshment of gang control of Port
land's underworld."
Thirteen persona are being held for
questioning In connection with the
affair, the fourth bombing In the
city since March. None of those held
was admitted to ball.
Included among those held In the
county Jail are Billy Ryan, prize
fighter; Bob Weever, Hyman Wein
steln and Abe Welnsteln, Jack Carson
and Henry Stern.
Police were looking for Ray and
Nick De Pinto, who were questioned
when Frank Lavordle, reputed gamb
ler, was shot five times a short time
after Portland's last bombing, that of
gambling resort. Police said the
De Plntos were seen in the vicinity
of the rooming house blast shortly
after the explosion.
The bombing Is believed to be
part of the factional fight between
the opposing forces seeking to as
sume control," the district attorney
continued. 'We have' information
which leads us to believe a local
group has set out to establish a super
government of the underworld and
proposes to control underworld oper
ations here without Interference of
established government, and to meas
ure out its own punishment of vio
lations of the gang code."

Held Silent During Scene
BERLIN, Aug. 30 (AP) Adolf
Hitler's national socialists won their
first Important office In the national
government today with the election
of Hermann Wilhelm Goering aa pres
ident of the new relchstag.
Goering has been with Hitler since ;
the "beer cellar putsch" of 1923. He !
served his country during the war
and waa cited for valor aa commander
of the famoua Von Rlchtofen flying
squadron.
It was a foregone conclusion he
would be chosen speaker, for the
nominee of the largest party alwaya
gets the Job. His margin waa 367
votes to 216.
Through the preliminaries of this
opening meeting the Nazis, under
stern admonition from Hitler, sat In
silence even while Clara Zetkln, 75-year-old
"grandmother of the revolu
tion" demanded In her address aa
temporary speaker the impeachment
of President von Hlndenburg and the
whole von Papen cabinet.
But when Goerlng's election was
announced they burst Into tumultu
ous applause and cheered their lead
er. Every one of them rose and stretch
ed out hla-arm in the Nazi salute
while Goering, In a short, crisp
speech, promised to act impartially

Indian wars, congressional events,
and the early settlement of southern
Oregon, leaped Into dramatic tales
today when 8. P. Veatch of Portland,
conductor on the old Oregon-Cali
fornia railroad, when It was taken
over by the Southern Pacific In '87,
met Judge Wm. M. Colvlg here this
afternoon.
Mr. Veatch, who came south to
address the Rotary club at luncheon
at the Hotel Medford, motored over
the Siskiyou route this afternoon as
guest of A. S. Rosenbaum, general
agent for the Southern Pacific, ac
companied by Judge Colvlg.
Seated in the tonneau of the car.
the two "grand old men of Oregon"
re-llved the days when distance was
less easily conquered and time, per
haps, of less Importance.
"There was Just one house over
yonder when I came through here
first In 1880," Mr. Veatch declared
with a gesture In a southeastern di
rection. "It was a large white one
I came through by stage en route to
Lakevlew to get a Chinaman, who
had been selling or giving whiskey
to the Indians. I was deputy United
States marshal then. I got the China
man and took him to Portland to
appear before M. P. Dady. Someone
had evidently put him wise. He
plead guilty and waa fined $10. They
had to pay me more than that for
going after him.
"I waa conductor on the railroad
for 40 years, starting in 1886, when
it was owned by the German com
pany. I was retired January 1, 1027,
"And the name S. P. doesn't stand
for Southern Pacific," he added with
a twinkle. "Just plain Sam, that's
the name.
"All train work was done by hand
then, I remember. Yes, the Nash
hotel was here about that time,
know. I lay there for two weeks
when I got hurt."
While doing the switching on
cold, rainy night, Mr. Veatch caught
his foot in a "frog." The car started
backward. He wrestled his foot from
the track lust as the car approached
but was knocked down by it, he said
today, and went to the Nash for hos
pitalization.
Answering Judge Colvlg's questions,
as ,he ran through the list of
Ve at cries who played a prominent
part in the history making of Ore
gon, Mr. Veatch - revealed that his
father, H. C. Veatch, fought In the
Indian wars In '55 and '50, being
located chiefly at Olendale.
His father'a brother. Robert Veatch,
waa nominated to congress by Judge
Colvlg, who will celebrate hta 88th
birthday Friday. Mr. Veatch In the
opening of the convention had nomi
nated Judge coivig. he stated today,
He announced that he waa too poor
to accept and placed In neini nation
the name of Robert Veatch, who
later thanked him for the gift, which
cost htm 12500 before the campaign
was ended.

In reply to Mayor Walkefa conten
tion that he la not being given a fair
hearing because. Instead of calling
before him all the witnesses who tes

tice Staley, after quoting previous In
terpretations of the law, observed:
Testimony Not Required.
"The requirement for a fair trial and
the provisions of section 84 of the
public officers' law do not counte

measure of protection which haa been
accorded to othera."

Well, I see where Mr. Roose
velt in New Jersey had a big
Pemocratio rally and moaquito
rodeo. There was one hundred
thousand Democrats there ap
plauding or fighting mosquitos,
you couldn't tell which. A
few Republicans were there to
cheer the Insects on In their
good woj-k. The original
Roosevelt used to call it "pussy
footing." This one took in the
whole cat. He called it "pussy
catting." Charlie Chaplin saya he U
afraid his boys will grow up
and find out they were actors
once, Charlie's actora are like
politicians they never grow
up. My company haa to watch
me every day to keep me from
playing Little Lord Fauntloroy.
There is nothing as "kittin
ish" as an old senator cam
paigning. Ton got to watch
him or he will parade right
