Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
PRESIDENT ELECT ROOSEVELT
accepts President Hoover's Invi
tation to discuss the war debt ques
tion. A "flood of congratulatory
messages," we read, greets his deci
sion. The peoplo of this oountry, appar
ently, approve the Idea of forgetting
partisan enmities snd getting to
gether for the good of the nation as
a, whole.
WELL, why shouldn't they?
What Is politics for, anyway?
Is Its purpose merely to provide Jobs
or Is It primarily designed to se
cure for the peoplo of this nation
the very best government that Is to
ie bad?
T 'if better government, which means
better handling of the people's busi
ness, can be had by forgetting partl
san enmities, why not do It?
HERE Is a more or less Interesting
question: What does the fu
ture hold for the Republican party.
which Jhas Just experienced one of
the severest defeats ever suffered by
a political party In this country?
A lot of people are asking that
question. '
VERB Is an answer, with wnicn
you may agree or NOT agree
The Republican party will take a
commanding place again In the af
fairs of the nation, and will Justify
the confidence that has been reposed
In It for so many years.
Sounds optimistic doesn't It?
H
OW? you ask.
Well, It will work out some.
thing like this:
The Republican party has Just
been administered a stinging defeat.
It has been thrown completely out
of power. Utter lack of confidence
In Its leadership has Just been voloed
decisively by the American people,
The Republican party, In this wrlt-
.,- ludsment. will develop new
leadership. It will change its Ideals.
It will get back closer to common.
ordinary people, whose affairs, to
the aggregate, are by far the most
Important affairs In thla country.
and who, besides, have the bulk of
the votes.
rpHE Republican party will have
the most compelling of all po
litical reasons for doing this the
desire to get back Into power.
It can get back Into power only
by winning again the confidence of
the voting nubile. Getting Into
power is what parties and their lead
ers live for.
Bo wstch the Republlcsn party In
the next few years. What It does
will be worth watching.
TTTROPEAN nations are combining
Ei in drive on this country to
secure revision of their debts to us
Revision, In all probability, is looked
upon as preliminary to cancellation
It Is Interesting to note that we
are now, when payment of debt Is
In order, looked upon as the Shy.
lock of the world. A little while
back, when these debts were being
contracted we were the world's best
fellow.
Odd, lsnt It, how people's sttltude
changes between the time a debt Is
msde and the time when ther have
to PAY It?
WERE sentimental In vhe ex
treme when we went Into the
vr and loaned all this money to
Europe. We were all elated with Vie
Idea of making the world safe for
democracy, and most of us actually
believed that our Ideals were shared
by the nations of Europe with
whom were Joining hands and who
were borrowing our money.
We have learned since that Europe
has NO IDEALISM whatever. Her
statesmen are animated by coldly
selflcb, policies. Their business Is to
look out for Number One, and they
do a thoroughly good Job of It.
That Is what they are doing now,
They are trying to escape payment
of the money they borrowed from us
not because they can't possibly
manage to raise the money, but be,
cause they think they can kid us
out of demanding It.
That vo; U M. good business for
them. '

IDFORD TO PLAY

HANKSGIVING DAY
Negotiations With Hood
River Or Other Teams for
Game Saturday Definitely
Off Players to Rest
PORTLAND, Nov. . 17. (AP) It
will be Med ford high school vs. Jef
ferson hlih school here Thanksgiving
day for the mythical high "school
football championship title of Ore
gon. Forfeiture of an tne 193 games
played by Hood River, ordered yes
terday by the state high school atn-
letle association, threw affairs Into a
turmoil for several hours until after
much consultation and deliberation
Medford and Jefferson of Portland
were selected for the title match.
Prospects that the Medford high
school football team would see action
next Saturday faded this morning
when negotiations with Ashland high
school for transfer of the annual
Thanksgiving day game failed. Grants
Pass and Ashland play this week-end
and Grants Pass refused to change
the date o Turkey Day.
- Jefferson high of Portland late yes
terday named Medford as Its title
game contender, following the an
nouncement that Hood River had
been declared Ineligible by the state
athletic board. The game was called
off when It was announced that Hood
River thereby had no football stand
ing and a game would mean nothing.
New Claims Voiced
The Dalles rejoiced over the up
holding of the protest, and Its victory
In the civil war with Hood River, and
immediately made pretentions to
the state championship. La Grande
also made claims.
On the records of the past, eastern
Oregon high school football is not
on a par -with this section. In 1928
Medford, invaded Milton-Freewater
and defeated McLaughlin 48 to 0.
The Dalles contested the title honors,
In 1929 they were Induced to play
Medford, and crumpled up 42 to 0,
on their own field. Robert Murray
who coached The Dalles that year,
now a policeman, was the spark-plug
or the present "protest war." After
the 1928 debacle he was ousted as
coacn. There is no reason to believe
that eastern Oregon football has Im
proved miraculously In four years.
no game Saturday, will be a benefit
to the Burgherltes. It will give them
rest, and a chance to get rid of
severe colds that have been -bothering
tnem the past week.
Fans Disappointed ,
The collapse of the Hood River
game was a disappointment to city
and valley fans, but' since Saturday
noon, when Hood River flatly refused
to play Medford, and changed Us
mind that night, there were susplC'
ions of a colored gent in the wood
pile. Hood River from the start of
the negotiations showed no ready dis
position to Journey here. They were
more concerned about a game with
The Dalles for revenge.
Now that Medford has been defin
itely selected as Jefferson high's op
ponent many local fans plan on Jour
neying to the metropolis. The South
ern Pacific Is considering the making
special rates, if a sufficient number
make the jaunt.
The Crater club, sponsors of the
Hood River game, will refund money
for tickets sold.

The Ashland and Medford princi

FARMERS EXPECT
HONEST' DOLLAR
LI
WINSTON-SALEM, N. C, Nov. 17.
(AP) Dr. Clarence Poe. of Raleigh,
N. O., editor of the Progressive Far
mer, told the National Grange here
today that agricultural America Is
not asking for "printing press
money" but does "expect an honest
dollar.
The farmers of America are ask
ing only for a money system stabil
ized on the basis of the average pur
chasing powers of a dollar In the
years 1920-30, when most of Amer
ica's staggering burden of public and
private debt was created, Poe said.
Quoting Senator William E. Borah
as saying "a dollar which takes three
times as much wheat, four times as
much cotton, three times as much
pork to buy as it would have taken
three years ago is not an honest dol
lar," Dr. Poe declared:
"We have a standard of time that
never varies the hour: ft standard of
length that never varies the yard;
standard for liquids that never varies
the gallon: a standard for measur
ing corn ar.rl That that never varies
the bushel.
"And yet our national standard of
value the dollar in real purchasing
power Interpreted in terms of what
it win nuy, we permit to be as van
able as would be a yardstick, some'
times 18, sometimes 24, and some
times 36 Inches long . ."
Dr. Poe said all business had suf
fered "from this disastrous situation,
but agriculture mors tha nany other
Industry."

reduction In license fees to the legis

CORONA, Cal., Not. 16.
Germany has always paid each
of these other nations more
than each of them paid us, but
Germany has quit paying them
now, so they say they can't pay
us. What they mean is that
they could pay us, but they
would have to use some of their
own money to do it with, and
of course a thing as revolution
ary as that never entered their
heads.
Now the big joke is that we
had been loaning Germany all
the money that they paid them
so that they could pay us. So it
really wasn't Europe that fell
down on the debts, it was us.
It's all our fault.
It is a wonderful idea, and
the Republicans worked it for
years, only we run out of
money and couldn't keep it go
ing. But don't ever lay the
fault on Europe for not paying
us. They would start tomorrow
if we would just loan 'em the
money to do it on.
