Comment
on the
Day's News
" By FRANK JENKINS.
HERE la an opinion expressed, to
this, writer yesterday by
thoughtful, Intelligent and sanely
optimistic banker a man whose
judgment In such matters Is good It
ANYBODY'S Judgment Is good:
"I think the turn In business af
fairs came about last July, and that
'"'there has been steady Improvement
since that time. But so far as thla
particular part of the country Is
concerned, we can't hope to FEEL this
Improvement much before next sum
mer." '
WHY NOT?
Well, we are suffering at present
from lack of money passing from
hand to hand, and It will take until
next summer or fall, at about the very
best to get enough money passing
around again to bring about Improve
ment. WHY Is money scarce In the com
munity? Well, It has worked out something
like this: In normal times, our ma
jor Industries, such as lumber ana
agriculture, bring back Into the com
munity more money than we send out
to purchase the thlnga we don't pro
duce. The community la something like
a rain barrel, INTO which water runs
from the roof and OUT of which It
runs by way of the bunghole. The
water running Into the barrel Is rep
resented by the money coming In from
our products, which we sell, and the
water running out of the barrel Is
represented by the money we send
away for shoes and clothes and auto
mobiles and gasoline and so on.
IN NORMAL times, the money com
ing into the barrel from our pro-
ducte which we sell considerably ex
ceeds the money running out to pay
for the things we use and don't pro
duce. But in tlmea like these, with our
principal Industries suffering from
lack of markets and low prices, the
money RUNNING OUT of the barrel
for the things we buy but don't pro
duce exceeds the amount running In
and eo money gets scarce.
We will have to wait until there is
Improvement in our principal Indus
tries; thus bringing more money Into
the community than goes out, before
we can begin to FEEL Improvement
In business conditions.
That Is why It will probably be
summer or fall, at the earliest, be
fore we begin to see for ourselves
this Improvement in business about
i which people are talking.
nrHROUGH the three long years
1 of this depression, people have
been patient," thla banker continued.
"They have been astonishingly pa
tient. "I wonder a little at times if we
could go through another year of It.
Would the spirit that has sustained
us so far continue to sustain us for
another year
".'- t-aROBABLY It would. '
. Compared to the atraln ft re
world war, the atraln of the depres
sion Is slight. And people did stand
up under the strain of the war stood
up for more than four years.

three, and the really serious part of
It Is less than two years old.

Company Grown Past State
and Federal Regulation
Says Governor in Message
to State Law Makers
SALEM, Jan. X8. (AP) Charging
the growth of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company with becom
ing "so powerful that It has suc
ceeded In avoiding federal regulation
and. is defying state control." Gov
ernor Julius L. Meter today recom
mended to the legislature It memo
rialize congress to "pass legislation
conferring on the Interstate commerce
commission or some other agency the
adequate authority to investigate and
regulate Inter-state telephone rates
and services."
The governor named the American
Telephone and Telegraph company as
the one he was referring to In his
statement of "within the last 20 years
we have witnessed the mushroom
growth of a telephone monopoly."
The governor further recommended
the legislature to memorialize con
gress to "Investigate the holding com
pany and monopolistic features of
the American Telephone and Tele
graph company'
In conclusion the governor declared
it was In the "Interest of the rate
payers that the state utilities com
missioner be provided with financial
resources comparable to those of the
utility." He had previously referred
to the Investigation of the Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph company, a
subsidiary of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company, now under
way by the state utilities commw
sloners, "with limited funds."
' The governor's message, the third
of a series of special messages to the
legislature, was read to both houses
today.
SALEM. Jan. 18. (AP) A mora
torium on the construction, recon
struction and realignment of high
ways In Oregon during the years 1933
and 1934 was proposed In a senate
Joint resolution Introduced today by
Senator Joe K. Dunne of Multnomah
county.
The resolution Is a companion
measure to Dunne's bill Introduced
yesterday, which would halt the fur
ther Issuance of highway bonds, al
though about .19,000,000 In bonds la
still available.
The preamble to the resolution re
cites that the "financial and In
dustrial condition In the state of
Oregon are such that It Is difficult
to finance or otherwise provide for,
public Improvements," and that "the
tax burden Incident to the adminis
tration of the essential and unavoid
able functions of state, county and
municipal government are sufficient
to exhaust all possible revenues,
thereby demanding a temporary post
ponement of highly desirable, but yet
unnecessary public Improvements."

AUTHORIZE AUDIT

Undertaken Will Save
Around $5000 for County
An audit of the county booka, with
the proviso that an audit of tho school
district accounts, at the expense 01
the county, be eliminated, has been
ordered by the county court. Com
missioners Billings and Nealon fa
vored the audit of the county books,
but could see no reason why Jack
son county should pay for an audit
of the school districts. It was on
this point that the county court
members differed.
The revised recommendation of the
grand Jury provides that the achool
districts of the county and city con
duct an audit, "the expense of said
audit to be borne by each of the dis
tricts themselves." The school dis
tricts audit was characterized as the

With the school districts conduct

the county books should be completed
within a short time. The school dis

SURVEY TALENT
IE
Resolutions recommending that re
survey of the proposed new Ashland
Talent unit of the Pacific highway
be made to conform with the survey
of the first unit, so as to leave the
city of Talent on the main route,
was passed this morning by the coun
ty court, and a copy will be mailed
to the state high-way commission.
The action is In accordance with
that taken by the chambers of com
marce of Ashland and Medford, ap
proving the construction of the first
unit of highway north of Ashland
and opposing the proposed second
unit, which would isolate Talent.
The county court, It Is stated in
the resolution. Is in favor of the con
struction of new highway units with
in the county "when same can be
construed to be for a meritorlus im
provement and of a beneficial na
ture." The proposed new construction, the
court states, would Isolate the entire
city of Talent from the main high
way. In view of this fact a new
survey Is requested.
If such a survey cannot be made
to conform to the requirements of
the highway commission and "most
of the recommendations herein set
forth," the county court resolution
recommends money appropriated be
used In alterations, and improvements
of the present highway.

BACK LEGION IN
by JEUNE9SE BUTLER.
Members of the Jackson County
Civic league, organized last fall for
the purpose, according to its consti
tution, of advancing the "moral pros
perity of Jackson county,'1 went on
record at their meeting last night,
as giving encouragement and un
qualified support to Medford Post No.

restore harmony, bring peace and end
disturbances which have kept this
and surrounding communities In tur
moil for the past several years.
Letters conveying the league's senti
ment and decision will be sent to
Medford post, District Attorney
George Codding and Commissioners
Ralph Billings and R. B. Nealon.
These letters will also bo published
In the Medford Mall Tribune, Jack
sonville Miner and Medford Reporter.
Action of the league followed a brief
and "to the point" discussion of the
matter. Members speaking greatly
delpored the situation, stated that
they desired as Christian and right
thinking people to be patient, toler
ant and forbearing, but that the time
had undoubtedly come for a speedy
and permanent settlement.
Tho large amount of highly unfa
vorable publicity which Is being given
to Medford and Jackson county was
pronounced by the chairman of the
educational committee as harmful in
the extreme. Reports coming from
Portland and other up-state cities, the
speaker aald, Indicated that Medford
was growing in Ill-repute and was
being dubbed a "little Russia."
Another speaker, a visitor at the
meeting, asking for an explanation
of the Legion's attitude, said: "I
merely want to' know the truth, for
I've heard It is all Just a newspaper
row," he averred. In answer he was
told "It is a much larger and more
significant matter than a mere news
paper fight' which waa the con
sensus of opinion among all present
at the meeting.
Officers and committee chairman
of the Jackson County Civic league
feel that this Is tho first opportunity
of the organization to render a com
munity service and to show its colors
where Issues relative to "moral pros
perity" are involved. As stated by
them and other members, the
league will always be found ready and
sufficiently courageous to take the
stand for what is right now and in
the future.

As the commander of Colonel Sar

In the resolution recently adopted
and published by it, condemning the
appeal to mob violence on the part
of certain of our citizens In their
misguided efforts to force the resig

cials. I believe It to be the duty of our
citizens 'to respect and uphold the
constituted authorities which are
created by our laws to handle matters
of this character, and I sincerely de
plore any action which might tend to
further disrupt ths peace of this
community, and appeal to the people

of any overt act which might lead to
even more serious trouble.
