Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
HERE la the opening paragraph ot
a Chicago dispatch yesterday:
" Forecasts of a cold wave led to
lata rallies In wheat prices today that
suddenly hoisted tbe market about
914 cent a bushel."
Because tha traders reasoned
thla way: "An extreme cold wave will
be apt to freeze out winter wheat
acreage. That will tend to reduce the
available supply of wheat. Reduc
ing the supply will cause the price
to rise."
So the tradere BUY in anticipation
of the rise. Their buying sends the
prices up 214 cents per bushel.
For that one day, at least, there
were more buyers than sellers.
AND HBRS la the opening para
graph of a New York dispatch
yesterday:
; "Influenced by a rise of a centa to
9V4 cents a bushel In wheat, atocks
rallied smartly In the last hour ot
trading on the stock exchange today?-'
THAT prompts this question: "Why
should a rise In the price of wheat
cause a rise in the prices of stocks?"
Ain we must go back to the
traders for an answer. They probably
reasoned like thla: A riae in uw
prloe of wheat will increase the buy
ing power of wheat fanners. Increased
buying power on the part of farmers
will cause Increased business activity,
which will make the stocks of Indus
trial concerns WORTH MORE."
So again, you see. the traders buy
In anticipation of the rise.
THE Interesting' point is thla:
Anv Increase, even prospective,
In the buying' power of farmers In
spires IMMEDIATE confidence in tno
future of business.
That la to say. Just as soon as agrl
culture begins to Improve business
will get better.
inTrATTTNn of lmnrovement In busl-
t neas conditions, here la a, rule
quoted to thla writer yesterday by D
B. Alexander, of Klamath Palls:
: "The first sign of Improvement in
the lumber business la usually the
appearance of new roofs, or repaired
roofs. It la the roof that turna tne
water, so reablngllng Is about the first
repair to buildings that people shn-
tlv HA VIS to mike."
If you will note carefully aa you
drlva around over the country, you
will see a considerable number of new
roofs, or repaired roofs, these days,
Let us hope the sign la significant.
nam. ALEXANDER, who 1 a big
If I farmer east of the mountains
hasn't much use for the farm board
or for the government's general pol
ler In regard to farming. He says:
"The trouble with the wheat mar
ket Is that too much wheat la being
grown, causing aupply constantly to
exceed demand. Yet the government,
aa a part of He general farm relief
policy, makes seed loans In order to
enable more farmers to . sow more
wheat and thus add still more to the
available supply and thus hold down
the m-toe ."
In other words, government help
to farmers la defeating Its own pur
pose.
w iorr Mr. Alexander sold prime
1 steers on the Ban Francisco market
for 1714 cents a pound. In 1928, the
price in Ban Francisco was around
14 cents.
Now It takea a mighty good steer to
bring 4 cents on the same market.
The stock man has certainly been
deflated, hasn't he?
wm rmnwn. to t an understanding
1 of one of the great troubles now
facing the country, and facing farm
eia ia particular, let us suppose that
beck In 1927, when prime steers were
selling on the Ban Francisco market
for 1714 cents, a stockman made a
loan which he has not yet paid.
If he paid that loan now. It would
take FOUR TIMES as many steers
aa were represented by the loan when
he made It.
That la one of the sad effects ot
deflated prices.

GR0WO0N STEPS
Most of Listeners Present
Out of Curiosity Peti
tions Carry Fewer Signers
Than Boasted Before Meet
Jackson county's highly publicized
piutest demonstration" was staged
on the courthouse lawn this morning.
An estimated crowd ot between BOO
and 750 people were In attendance,
though 3000 were expected by the
promoters. Most of those on band
came through curiosity. Many from
the rural areas were present. At times
the speakers were Interrupted by cries
of supporters of County Judge rem
demanding "Justice," "lower taxes,"
"run him out of the state," "where
Is the Legion," and "show me a Le
gion button." A number of women
were In the crowd and shouted de
mands. Amusement was caused when
one woman shouted criticism of Com
missioner Billings for a "curly-cue
road up the mountain."
The bantering generally waa gooo-
natured, but at times was tinged with
bitterness. For the most part, the
session took on the aapect of a politi
cal meeting, and speakers resorted to
familiar slogans In the last campaign.
Demand Resignations.
Petitions, demanding the Immediate
resignation of District Attorney
George A. Codding, and Commissioner
R. E. Nealon "unless you act In nar
mony with the county court" were
presented. The text also expressed
confidence In the "honesty and in
tegrity" of County Judge Fehl. and
bis ability to carry out hla "policies
and pledges." Blame for the dead
lock In the county court was placed
entirely upon the shoulders of Com
missioners Billings and Nealon." '
Check of the names on the peti
tions showed a total ot SS7, chiefly
from the rural district. A goodly por
tion of the signers were from the
Rogue River, Wlmer and Evans Creek
districts, with a fair representation
from other parta of the county. Many
algned the petitions later.
Fehl Makes Speech.
The opening speech of the demon
stration was made by County Judge
Fehl. who spoke In a characteristic
manner, advancing many of the argu
ments he found so successful In the
primary and general elections.
L. A. Banks, editor and orchardist,
read a written and Inflammatory ad
dress to the audience. He charged
that "Jackson county la on the verge
of ansrchy and chaos," and declared
the county was "In the hands of the
gang, who have fattened at the pub-
110 purse for 15 years." He called
the attention of his hearers to the
Dahack case, the P. A. Bates case, the
libel suits against the News, and hla
remarks were typical of the views ex
pressed In his editorials. A small por
tion of the crowd clapped approval.
Asks Coddlng's Scalp.
Aa the climax of hla remarks. Banks
demanded the "Immediate resignation
and Indictment of District Attorney
George A. Codding." The editor fairly
screamed his denunciation of the dis
trict attorney. The remainder of
his remarks were spoken In a loud,
but well-modulated voice. Banka
blamed the district attorney's office
for what he designated aa "a break-

That purpose la being accomplished.
