PSGH EIGHT V EEDrOUD MAHi TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. QREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRTIXRY 16, 1933. FIGURING ON 1 Wall Street Rumor Has Big Companies Planning De parture in Retailing Fags March 4 Fete Planned Br JAMES MrMtXLIN '(Copyrighted by MoCluro Newspaper Syndicate.) NEW YORK, Feb.. Id. The Wall Street whisper has it that American Can la dickering with the big four tobacco companies to supply them with new tin containers of 35 cigar ettes capacity. The long-rumored price cut may come about this way. It Is worth noting that the manu facturers have ucd up their high- priced tobacco stocks and can now take advantage of the lower prices prevailing In the last two years. The Republican A&eembly caucus at Albany came within a whisker of taking a vote of confidence on State Chairman Macy'e leadership. If tnla had happened It would have busted tihe Republican majority in the as sembly wide open. It was headed off ny snappy work on the part of Speaker McGinn lea, who saw his own lob endangered. But this scrap (s bound to come to life again soon, Several prominent Wall Street men are making frantic efforts to organize big celebration on March 4, either at New York or as part of the in augural festivities In Washington The organizers figure that such a demonstraltve blowout would give them a good sendoff with the new administration. A bull push Is discussed as a pos sible contribution to the festivities. But the question Intervenes "What with?" - The election of Landon K. Thorne as director of the First National bank la significant of a closer tleup among ever! large New York banks. Thorne in already a large stockholder and director of Bankers Trust and a part ner of Bonbright and. Company. An other Bonbright partner Alfred Loomls Is a director of Central Han over. Bonbright & Co. has a Morgan utility tleup. The New York Federal Reserve bank stepped into the breach last week and bought about 30 million dollars worth of governments in an effort to offset the continued shrink age In member bank reserves. Negotiations are underlay for the merger of many of the small banks in New York city Into one or more larger Institutions. The move has the warm approval of the New York state banking department. The small' banks are liquid enough and perfectly earn out are unable to earn anything on their small capitalisation under presont conditions. The plan will take a long time ta work out. The small bankers have their pride and they take unkindly to the idea of lesser titles. Also each of them la suspicious that his Insti tution might be abolished once the merger was consummated. EFFORT TO GRAB (Continued irora Page One) submit to a dictatorship In a group with political alma that called Itself a "good government congress," with the result that the working man's place In the Good Government Con gress waa abandoned, and the leader ship now rests with the capitalist, on one hand, and meddlers on the other. Jnckson county hss 19.130 regis tered voters, and at no time has the Good Government Congress had more than 1000 supporters present at any meeting, A resolution presented by Banka and Mrs. Martin, demanding the resignations of the officers men tioned waa passed by the last general assembly. Commissioner N e a 1 o n. District Attorney Codding and Judge Norton would be harking to the chirp of a sparrow, Nralon said. If they abandoned their pewta became one out of 10 voters In the county wanted them to. Strength In Country Ninety per cent of the strength of the Good Government Congress rests In the rural sections of the county, where the Dally News ta distributed widely and usually gratia. They have read charges of crime and corruption, without reading deniala, until their minds have become poisoned, and most of thorn truly believe the charges made by Bank. Their aad financial state, which makes them rely on Banks' paper for Information, and Banks' penchant for demagog uery and undeniable art of forceful writing hss created the present polit ical condition In Jackson county, which officers admit, Is fast becom ing serious. No Proof Offered That not one lota of concrete proof has been offered by Banks to sub stantiate any of his statements has slipped over the heads of his follow ers. They know their farm produce returns little, they know they can't find work, they know that Interest, and sometimes the mortgage, la due. and they want a change. Banks Is psychologist and leader enough to blind them to the true cause of their financial condition, and artfully lay It at the door of county officers. With the people becoming blinded enough to kill the officers, If necessary, Banks would then be In a position to replace them with his own men, and Banks would escape scott free or ny liability for any crime that might be committed, while some poor misled end misinformed rancher would pay the penblty. . , Buob Is the impression of m aver-1 age. Informed person on the political turmoil in the valley, and of the alms lurking behind the activities of lead era of the Good Government Con gress. The popular demand of a way to defeat the monster of suspicion and hate that has grown to a danger ous size here. Is to spread true and accurate Information, not only on Banks' charges, but on the true alma behind Banks' maneuvers to tear down the court of the county the one medium through which Banks can be made to pay a debt SALVATlONARIViY APPEALS TO RICH TO HELP HUNGRY With thousands In Jackson county out of employment and but lltttlc to look forward to In the near fu ture, I am making this appeal to those who are In better clcumstancee as the best and only way to fully un derstand the condition of our less fortunate fa miles Is to place our breadesrner out of employment and no employment to be found etill hungry, helpless children crying for bread and but little bread to give them. Anxious mothers are wondering where the next meal Is coming from. If we were In ttielr place what would we do? There Is but one answer; we would have to look to our friends and those who are In better circum stances. God has blessed some with more than others, therefore let the hungry be fed by your cooperation with the Salvation Army. Just yesterday one of our local residents came to the Salvation Army, having had to secure a pair of trousers as a loan to enable him to get down to the Salvation Army where necessary clothing was given. This man Is not a bum, neither 1s he trying to evade work, but he Is only one out of the many heads of families who are In the same cir cumstances, i In the name of this great country Jackson county, where thera is still many tried and true people, I am making this appeal. We are much in need of all kinds of supplies and to meet the needs of our home local families we are depending on our friends to come to our aid. Wo are working In conjunction with our county. In an Idaho town a farmer friend gave the Salvation Army seven hun dred head of sheep to distribute to the poor. Now la there some farmers in our county who will come to the front and give us some sheep, beef or pork and farm produce? 1 ' The good Lord. says that we should give and that In return He would give us, We are also very much In need' of cash and would appreciate It very much if some one send us some help of that kind.

TRIBUNE CARVES SECOND VIOLIN Spars time to Roy Sunderland, Mall Tribune printer, means more than Just sitting around talking about de pressions, governmental upheavals and other auch topics. For this winter Mr. Sunderland carved out an attrac tive violin from spruce and maple. This waa the second violin Mr Sun derland has made, and he claima he can't play the Instrument. The pro portions are excellent, and the violin has been polished to a beautiful finish. Jimmy Durante In Rialto's Feature "Personality, folks; that's what does Itl" That's how Jimmy Durante, beak nosed comedian who looks like any thing but the answer to a maiden's prayer, explains his success with the "femmes," as he calls them. In "The P.hsntom President," at the nialto to day and tomorrow, Jimmy and hie schnosrola are featured along with Claudelie Colbert and George M. Co han In a hilarious takeoff on s presldentlsl convention and cam paign. Its loaded with laugha from the very opening where Jimmy and Cohan are seen as quack medicine men to the final finale In the White House. Another of the popular Charlie comedies, "Easy Street," and the Movietone news are also on the pro gram, I will appreciate your votes In the Medford Merchants' Popularity con test. ROSAMOND WAIjL.
