Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
CALVIN COOLIDG3 dies In his bed
at the age of 64 probably Juet
about at the peak of his usefulness!
One has to live about 80 years, you
know, to leam enough to be really
useful.
Heart failure was the cause of his
death.
CALVIN OOOIiIUpE, as governor of
Massachusetts, handled so effec
tively a troublesome strike situation
that developed In Boston that he won
national prominence.
Not long afterward, the Republican
national convention assembled to
nominate a candidate for president,
and in the course of time, swayed by
considerations that do not need to be
entered Into here, It chose Warren O.
Harding, a country editor of Ohio,
whose genial personality had won
him a seat In the senate.
Then 1 looked around for a run
ning mate that being the political
term for candidates for vice president.
Somebody said: "How about this man
Ooolldge? He's made quite a reputa
tion, and ought to lend strength to
the ticket." Lending strength to the
ticket Is one of the chief recommen
dations as a candidate for vice-president.
So Ooolldge It was.
MjARDINQ became" president, and
during his term he visited the
Pacific coast. In Seattle, he ate crab
meat probably perfectly good crab
treat, but It disagreed with him and
an attack of Itdlgestlon followed.
He was 111 all the way down the
coast, and In San Francisco his Indi
gestion entered the acute stage. One
morning, quite unexpectedly. In a
corner suite In the Palace hotel, over
looking busy, throbbing Market street
he passed away.
The eountry was tremendously
shocked.
SO It was that 'coolldge became
president.
He was routed out of bed to receive
the startling news, and shortly after
ward, before his aged father, who was
an officer qualified to administer
osxa, he took tSe oath of office as
president of the United States the
moot powerful office on earth.
Thus tlto sequence of events that
fcsd Its beginning when he handled
successfully the Boston strike came
to Its conclusion.
When men do things, you see,
whs they meet situations that arise
to confront them, they never know
irhet the ultimate consequences of
their acts will be.
CAT,VIN OOOLIDGB, In many ways,
was a strange paradox.
He was a New Englander, with all
the New England characteristics
shrewd thrifty, close-mouthed. He
lacked that thing which we call per
sonal magnetism, without which, It
Is cojnmonly agreed, no political
leader can be a complete success.
He seldom troubled to make him
self personally agreeable to the vot
se. Almost never did he resort to
flattery that chief stock In trade of
the successful polltlclsn.
FOR example:
While he was vice-president, he
earns to the Pacific coast, first visit
ing California and then coming north
through Oregon and Washington.
At Eugene, he was prevailed on
by family friends to make a 13-mln-ute
stop. The stop Included a trip
up SklnneOButte, the hill that rises
i$ ttie north end of the business dls
trlet In that city.
HS didnt want to stop, and msde
no effort to conceal his resent
ment at the polite pressure put upon
him. When he got off the train, he
was In a bsd humor, snd didn't care
who knew It.
'HUS unsuspiciously the stop be-
gan. snd things went from bad
so worse. In entering the autorblle
to ascend the butte. somebody shut
the door on the vice-president's fin
ger. It was terrible thing to have hap
pen to a visiting vice-president, and
Coolldge did nothing to soften the
awfulness of It. It was pretty clearly
evident that he didn't csre whether
anybody In Eugene. Oregon, eier vot
ed for him or not.
No POLITICIAN ever would hare
don'i such a thing. But Coniidre
never was a politician, In the usually
accepted understanding of the term.

SALEM, Ore., Jan. 4. (Spl.) To
adjourn or not to adjourn. That
seems to he the unexpected question
confronting members of the special
session tonight. At any rate It Is
betng debated behind the closed door
of the speaker's room
There was a "forgotten man, in
troducing himself as such, who sug
gested Just that, at the public hear
ing on the two per cent sales tax
earlier this evening.
Property owners, he argued, couldn't
pay the assessments already due on
their land. Hence, they couldn't
shoulder the additional tax on com
modities suBgected In the sales tax.
Therefore, the special session should
adjourn without voting any tax at
all.
Smouldering embers leapt into ora
torical flame as speakers from the
ranks followed trained legislators to
the platform tonight to express them
selves on this already much debated
plv-e of Irgtlatlon.

left him dead with an expression of

Notable Funeral.
While expressions of mourning came
from all over the world, plans were
laid for a funeral that despite Its un
ostentatious features, will be a notable
one In the nation's history.
President Herbert Hoover will come
from Washington for the services at
10:30 a. m., eastern standard time
tomorrow at Edwards Congregational

FAKElLBTOINS
Probably because they hadn't seen
any gold for so long and hadn't re
viewed the little volume of verses
which save "All is not gold that glit
ters," several service station ope
rators In Medford this week have
taken counterfeit half-dollar gold
pieces which were turned over to
them for gasoline -and cash, accord
ing to state police, who are investi
gating the case.
Two young men In a Chevrolet se
dan, bearing Minnesota license plates,
would drive up to the service station
and after getting some gasoline, would
pay for It with the gold pieces, po
lice were Informed. Cash was also
exchanged by some. It was said, for
the copper coins, washed In gold.
"California," with a large MW sign
was on one side of the hexagon
shaped coin. In bas-relief, and Lib
erty's head was engraved on the other
side, officers said. The coins were
to be exceptionally small, dated

Entrances and exits then did
swift heel and toe across the stage
and oratory ebbed and flowed. The
meeting adjourned with a puzzled ex
pression on most faces. '
J. C. Barnes of Medford, with his
well known (in Jackson county) pro
posed shelter tax bill tucked In his
vest pocket, arrived on the scene in
the midst of the oratory. He re
mained on the sidelines tonight, how
ever, flanked on each side by the
Jackson county representatives, who
have gone over the draft with him.
At the end of the hearing he put
persuasive powers to w -k as he made
his way among the legislators still
lounging about the capitol halls until
a late hour this evening.
It Is probable that he will remain

to win further support.

County Court Deadlock
Bursell Faces Judge
Steps to have the Oregon supreme
court take Jurisdiction and render a
decision in the controversy over the
legality and validity of the appoint
ment of R, E. Nealon as county
commissioner were under way this
afternoon as a means to settle the
dispute and restore peace In Jackson
county.
If the supreme court took a direct
.hand It would be able to give a de
cision within a few days. The ac
tion would have to be by stipula
tion between the two sides. Attor
ney E. E. Kelly, & friend of County
Judge E. H. Fehl, and his counsellor
on many occasions, presented the
proposal to the county Judge. A de
cision on the plan Is expected this
afternoon.
Peace Held Need
Public opinion In the city and
county was strong today for a settle
ment of the dispute, to the end that
the excitement subside and the coun
ty court return to Its normal func
tions. Many residents of the county
called at the court ihouse today to
"size up the. situation for them
selves." The majority of those visit
ing the court house agreed that the
time had come "for give and take
and a speedy readjustment.'1
Victor Bursell of Central Point,
former county commissioner, appear
ed before County Judge Fehl this
morning to answer to the charge of
contempt of court and "mutilation
of the county records." The allega
tions are made on an affidavit made
by Howard A. Hill. Former County
Judge C. B. Lamkln cf Ashland did
not appear this morning.
Former Commissioner Bursell was
represented by Attorney Harry Skyr
man, who questioned the "rlghj; of
the- county Judge to sit alone, with
out another member of the county
court." Commissioner Billings re
fused to set. County Judge Fehl then
overruled the motion of Skjrman. It
was also contended that County
Judge Fehl had no Jurisdiction, and
that he was taking an arbitrary
stand In tie matter.
Object to Wilklns
At one stage- of the proceedings,
Attorney Skyrman abjected vigorous
ly to Attorney M. O. Wllklns, counsel
for Fehl, "read'ng things that were
not In the charge."
County Judge Fehl denied the first
motion of Attorney Skyrman for fur
ther time In which to plead. Later
the county Judge ruled that the hear
ing would be resumed at 2 o'clock.
Attorney Wilklns, repreaentlng Fehl
as "a friend of the court"; Skyrman,
representing Bursell, and County
Judge Fehl went Into a conference.
Former County Judge Lamkln and
his attorney, William Brlggs, Jr.,
were to be In court at 2 p. m. At
torney Wilklns represents both Hill
and the county Judge.
Many From Country
The county court room was packed
this corning, most of these being
residents of the Gold Hill and Rogue
River districts. They numbered be

from this city.

about two weeks.
"We've got plenty of time," he iffttd.
"I understand the beor bill will be

legislation.

NEW" YORK. Jan. fl. (Pi A
Democratic program to balance the
national budget now without neces
sity of an extra session of the new
congress this spring has been evolved
here at a conference between President-elect
Franklin D. Roosevelt and
congressional leaders.
It calls for an Increase 1n Income
taxes; enactment of the proposed levy
on S.3 per cent beer; continuation of
the gasoline tax. and a MOO.000,000
slash Jn appropriations below the
Hoover budget.
Boosts Income Tax.
The new tax plan provides for a
boost In the normal Income tax rates
from 4 per cent on the first 01,000
net Income and 8 per cent on Income
above that, to 8 per cent and 8 per
cent, respectively.
It also proposed a out in exemp
tions for married persons from $3,500
to $3,000 and a continuation of the
present slash for single Qprsons from
$1,600 to $1,000.
Mr. Roosevelt, who has banned the
sales tax recommended by President
Hoover, presided over tlio conference,
which was held last night. In a
subsequent talk with newspapermen
he declined to comment except to
say he did not disagree with these
suggestions for legislation.
Accept Deficit Figure.
The Democrats said the Hoover es
timate of the deficit for next year
was $403,000,000. They accepted this
disputed figure and based their cal
culations accordingly.
Their plan calls for raising $126,
