The depression doesn't aeem to be
interfering with- bigger and better
crime, does It?
THE ways and" means committee or
the house of representatives votes,
13 to 11; against action on any bill to
provide automatic Increases In tariff
duties to offset Imports from coun
tries with depreciated currencies.
So, It appears, those who are suf
fering from this form of competition
will have to go on suffering.
PERHAPS you wonder what It la all
about.
Well, It la like this: Countries hav
ing depreciated currencies get MORE
DOLLARS for their products which
they sell In this country. So they are
able to sell cheaper In this country.
Because they are able to sell
cheaper for thla reason, the tariff
doesn't protect as It bas protected In
the past. I. .
LET'S see Just how It works out,
taking England as an example.
When British money was on a gold
basis, the British manufacturer who
sold goods In thla country exchanged
the American money he received at
the rate of one pound for each 486.
Now, for each 4.86 in American
- money he receives about a pouncUuld
a half. So, you see, he has more Brit
ish money with which to pay his bills
at home, and so can sell cheaper. Be
cause he la able to sell cheaper, the
tariff doesn't bother, him as It used
to.
Fluctuations In the value of the
world'a money cause a lot of disturb
ances in business.
YOtJ may or may not have read
fhts not very prominently dis
played paragraph In .the day's news
contained In a dispatch from Wash
ington: "The Atlantic fleet probably will
remain on the west coast until July
1, 1934."
What does that meant It meana
that the world'a war scares are now
clustered around the shores of the
Pacific, and alnce the business of
nsvles has to do with wars, this
country Is keeping the bulk of Its
navy where It could get on the Job
quickest In case of trouble.
WHO would start the trouble. If
anybody?
Well, thla writer Is no Jap hater,
and thinks atrongly that the best
Interests of both Japan and . the
United Statea will be aerved by re
maining cordially friendly, Instead
of eyeing each other Jealously. It
can't be denied that if trouble af
fecting us la started In the Pacific
the Japs will probably start It.
SAN DIEQO, Los Angeles and San
Francisco, Incidentally, will wel
come this bit of news, for keeping
both the Atlantic and the Pacific
fleets On this coast means more sail
ors to spend money in these cities.
Anybody who spends money in
these days Is exceedingly welcome
ANYWHERE.
PREVENTION of harsh treatment
of mortgage debtors by creditors
and of unfair practlcea by borrowers
toward lenders Is proposed In Oregon
NOT by legislation, but by organ
ised co-operatlre effort on the part
of public-spirited citizens.
That Is the way to do It. Every
effort ahould be made to prevent
foreclosures In difficult times such
as these, when practically all the nor
mal business relationships are dla
turbed and thrown out of balance.
But If we start passing laws provid
ing that debtora need not pay what
they owe, we are heading for trouble.
Just as soon as we pasa laws pro
viding .that debts NEED NO LONGER
BE PAID, we shall make It Impossible
to borrow money.
People with money won't lend u
they know In advance that they can't
collect.

MEETINGS HELD
E
PLOT UPHEAVAL
People Urged to End Use of
Taxpayers' Money in Fos
: tering Political Party
Many Are Misinformed
Citizens of Medford and of Jack
son county were urged today by O. O.
Bogga to take Immediate action to
put a atop to conditions now exist
ing In this section and to get before
the people of the county the true
facta of the situation and to end
the holding of meetings at county
expense, designed to remove county
officials from office. Speaking ex
temporaneously before the Klwanls
club at luncheon at the Hotel Med
ford, he condemned the attitude of
the people which has permitted this
situation to arise and urged them for
economy's sake to co-operate In a
program to put the unemployed to
work and to end the abuse now di
rected toward county officials.
Light. Heat Used Often.
County lights and county heat are
be Ins used frequently at meetings
of citizens, plotting against officials,
demanding resignations from officials
of the county, which Is feeding them,
Mr. Boggs pointed out, deploring the
extravagance of the situation and
the detrimental results realized in
business from Its existence.
"Things have reached a deplorable
state," he explained, "when a delega
tion representing maybe one-tenth
of the population of Jackson county
can call upon a county commissioner
r1emajKi,i.& is- --resignation. It: .tla-
time," Mr, Boggs added with empha
sis "that something was done about
It. Many of these people, who have
been misinformed ara good people.
You would be surprised if you went
to one of these meetings. They need
to be given the facts. They are get
ting Just one side of the situation."
Taxpayers Foot Bill.
- "And county lights and county heat
are being used at the expense of the
taxpayers for the holding of these
meetings."
Turning to the relief problem in
troduced by Harry Moore, speaker at
today's luncheon, in a review of the
stamped money plan, Mr. Boggs
stressed the need for putting to work
people who are receiving aid from
the county, and doing nothing In re
turn for funds received. Such a dole
system, he pointed out, encourages
the people to linger around town con
demning the very government that
Is supporting them, when they should
be given an opportunity to work for
what they received.
Opposition to the dole system was
also voiced by several other members
of the club and Mr. Moore urged the
business men to become "relief mind
ed, for your own good."

HOW WE APPEAR IN

STOP THE SACRIFICE.
The war In Jackson county Is still going hell bent. Though no blood has
hfen spilled as yet, It Is likely to deluge the Rogue river valley ere long. xn
last lsue of that paroxism of paranoia, the Medford News, contains the fol
lowing under signature of Its editor and puhlinhr, Ij. A. Banks, as reason lor
refusing to obey summons to appear In court In one of the many rases In
which he Is defendant:
Now then, we have arrived at that point of a complete showdown.
I refine to enter the circuit court of Jarkton county now or at any
other time for any purpose whatsoever while this court Is presided over

Furthermore I refuse to appear In the circuit court of Jarkson

or this court, IS IMSSOl.VKO RY THE PEOPLE, and this Illegal trust

If this means hl.wiil!-hed. I am prepared to offer my life a a sacri

balanced budgets and sound money,
was laid before the senate finance
