Comment,
on the
Day's News
By FBANK JENKINS.
T IARRY HINMAN tell, this one:
fl "When I got home last night,
my wife was reading the paper. She
Jooked up after a while and remarked
In an Innocent tone: 'Well, I see
they've caught those two fellows down
at Ashland.',"
" 'What two fellows?' I asked.
"'Why. the two that voted; for
Hoover,' she answered."
'
npHOSE of us who voted for Hoover
A are certainly having to take a lot
of kidding these days, aren't we? .
WALTER P. CHRYSLER announces
that tn the next six to eight
months he will spend 42,000,000 for
raw and finished materials to be used
tn the manufacture of bis new Ply-
mouth car.
The raw materials will Include Iron,
rubber. lubricating oil. plate and
safety glass, lumber of various kinds,
copper, brass, cotton, nickel, tin, lnc,
lead' and aluminum.
It takes lot of raw products to
make a motor car, doesn't It?
PEW yeara ago. Coos county, here
J in our own Oregon, claimed the
distinction of a favorable automotive
balance of trade. That Is to say. It
eold more automotive product than
It bought.
This situation csme about through
Jhe use of thin strips of Port Orford
cedar In automobile batteries. The
sale for these thin strips of wood was
so great that It amounted to more
than all the automobiles, tires and
gasoline purchased by Coos county.
k
IN THE days when this business was
1 going good, a young superintendent
of a veneer factory in Marshfleld had
a bright idea.
He equipped his plant with loud
speakers, hooked these loud speakers
up to a phonograph and then played
peppy Jazz music on the phonograph
The girls working in the plant keyed
their motlona to the fast music and
thua speeded up their output mate'
rially.
That was In the good old days when
speeding up of output was one of the
biff considerations. In these days,
the big consideration to getting a lit'
tie business to put through the plant,
Superintendents are not so much
worried Bbout speeding up the out'
put. They are more concerned with
finding Jobs enough to go around
among those who need them.
BUT don't let yourself say: "Those
were the good old dsys. We'll
sever see their like again,"
For one thing you'll admit that
Toure getting old If you permit your
self to Join the "good old days" bri
gade. For another, It ISNT TRUE
that we'll never see the like of those
good old days again.
Better days will be seen In the fu
ture than ever were seen In the past.
SPEAKING: of the good old days,
Tom Bradley said yesterday to
this writer:
"Back in the nineties; when there
was a depression on, Just as there Is
jjw, I got out of a Job and thought
ft would be a smart Idea to enlist
Jn the army, where at least I would
get three meals a day. So I did, and
was assigned to a cavalry outfit that
was stationed over at old Port Bid
well. "After we'd been there a while, we
were ordered one day to set out on
practice ride, and this practice ride
took us eastward to Klamath Palls,
then Llnkvllle, thence north up
around Crater Lake, and back from
there to the fort."
WHEN we got back to the post, we
thought we'd seen some riding,
but discovered shortly afterward that
we hadn't seen nothln' yet.' We
hadn't much more than returned
when orders were received to close
Port Bidwell, and when the fort was
dosed our outfit rode clear through
to San Prahclsco.
'In three days, tha government
wasn't paying railroad fares for cav
alrymen when it could help It."
TOM. remember, 'joined the army
because he was out of a Job, and
wanted to be sure of three meals a
day.
Not long after the ride from old
) Port Bidwell to San Prahclsco, times
began to pick up, and he wanted out
again. The normal method of get
ting out of the army tn those days
was to purchase one's discharge,

T
Delegation Presents De
mands to President-Elect
for $100,000,000 Relief
Appropriation by State
ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 18. (AP) A
delegation of 'hunger marchers" to
day personally demanded of president-elect
Roosevelt that he call upon
President Hoover to withdraw what
they said was the president's request
to all governors to dissuade the march
upon Washington.
The three delegates, roughly clad.
were ushered Into the governor's study
at tne mansion to make their de
mands. Seated about Mr. Roosevelt's
desk and speaking In husky tones,
the trio said they represented hun
dreds of "unemployed hungry" who
demanded that Mr. Roosevelt, as presi
dent-elect and governor:
Call upon President Hoover to re
scind bis request to discourage the
March.
Want 5100,000,005.
Call a special session of the legisla
ture to appropriate $100,000,000 for
feeding the unemployed.
Arrange for armories along the
route of march to be thrown open
to house the marchers.
Provide state truck, gasoline, food
and blankets for the marchers.
Order that there be no "police ter
rors" for the marchers en route.
The president-elect with elbows on
the desk and watching the face of
each spesker In turn, replied to the
demand that when he calls on Presi
dent Hoover next Tuesday he will
"advise" him to recall his request to
all state governors, by saying;
No Federal Power.
-wf am the governor of New York
and as such have the authority of
governor,-, but I .certainly, have
federal authority now."
The delegation was headed by Sam
Welssman, head of the unemployed
council of greater New York. Accom
panying him were Milton Stone and
Richard Sullivan.
The governor, answering the fre
quently reiterated demands of the
three, said that the recent referendum
had approved a $30,000,000 bond issue
for unemployment relief, half of
which was immediately available; that
armories could be thrown open for
relief work when the mayors of the
cities Informed the governor that local
facilities were Inadequate, and that
he would immediately-arrange for a
conference of the delegates and repre
sentatlva of the state emergency re
lief administration, at which specific
cases could be presented.
The conference of the president
elect and the three young "hunger
marcher" delegates lasted the better
part of an hour. Outside a half dozen
city police stood at points around
the mansion. Within the mansion,
as the four talked United States se
cret service men and state troopers
stood about the halls.

Inter-Governmental Debts

Partly to Blame for Woes
NEW YORK, Nov. 18. (AP) Fred
erick E. Murphy, publisher of the
Minneapolis Tribune, pictured Amer
ican agriculture as "steadily sinking
to the level of peasantry' 'and told
the Academy of Political Science to
day that "inter-governmental debts
are at the bottom of the difficulty.
and the fundamental cause for the
stoppage of International trade."
"Inter-governmental debts have
forced all the debtor nations on a

nation obviously must sell more than
It buys. The tariff, is the device by
which the debtor nations seek to

"And thus It comes about, that

will not sustain the American farmer.
The fear of anoWier war,
undoubtedly plays a part In this de
termination of Europe to attain a
food self-sufficiency. It follows In
evitably that the removal of these
causes for suspicion and hatred wilt
rebound to the benefit of the Ameri

Includes a system of bounties, suffi

City Attorney Frank Farrell was In

Tha ordinance declares that It
shall be unlawful for anyone to be

in a publlo place or to Indulge In
any Indecent and Immoral act, that
It shall be unlawful to set up or
keep any house for the purpose of

llauors to be drunk ..on. .the premises,
To drink In any house not occupied
ss a residence shall also be unlaw.
ful. The ordinance further states
that it shall be unlawful to sell In
toxicating liquor to minors under 18
years of age and that for the same
to drink and smoke Is also unlawful
In Medford.
The other ordinance, which pro
hibits the receiving, lmportstlon,
possession, transportation, delivery
and manufacture of intoxicating
liquor la dependent upon the state
law. as the ordinance ends with say-
ing that the same ahall be unlawful

ing every other roll-oall.
The workers, in announcement

more needed than It has been dur.
Ing previous years. Joining the Red
Cross at this time, it was pointed
out, is a privilege aa well as an ob

believe that she will not this year,
when the people are made to realise
country creameries were playing.
many othr localities, according to re
ports received at local headquarters,
goals havs been reached In less time
than during any previous drives, the
people realizing that the services of
the Red Cross are more needed than
during the days of prosperity.
Local workers are giving all their
time to the drive and all they ask
Is that the people respond with their
memberships, which will save Med
ford from failure to reach her goal.
It la hoped that the next few days
will see memberships coming In from
many localities aa the Red Cross
serves a county-wide need and there
fore must have county-wide support.

PORTLAND, Nov. 17, (p) Tha ex

attraction In the dairy products di
vision of the trade. The price at
Portland has for some time been out
of 'line with practically al! markets
along the coast, resulting in much
competing supplies going In other
directions. Now Portland is bidding
up for butterfat but Its bids today
were practically no higher than what
country creameries were paying.
Twenty-four cents a pound appears
the prevailing price for churning
cream, although some were quoting a
fraction more or less.
Market for butter continues to
Show tha, influence of cold storage

In the movement of the latter aa a
result of the late sharp advances In
fresh churning.
Trading in the egg market contin
ues of very firm character and espec
ially so jor fresh offerings which are
very scarce. Storage atlck is moving
out rapidly In all markets.
Lighter receipts of chickens are re
flected In the local trade and In
spots shortage la shown although
this has not affected the price be
cause of the presence of other fowls
In plenty.
Market for turkeys shows a gener
ally maintained tone locally, with
northern orders now being filled, all
receipts are being taken care of and
without general change in the price
list.
Late strengthening of the price and
even fractional price advances have
been held in the potato trade. The.
country shows less disposition to sell.
Deschutes supplies are below require
