Banks Strange Paradox -Poses as Truth's Friend but Treats it Shamefully
Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
HEBE IB a rather Interesting state
ment, which la backed up by of
ficial statistics of the meat In
dustry: Each person In the United States
eats, on the average, about his own
weight In meat per year.
That Is to say, per capita consump
tion of meat In this country In )93a
was 132 pounds, which comes some
where near an average weight.
CONSUMPTION of meat In this
country has been declining dur
ing the past 30 years. In 1000, It was
about 142 pounds per person, or about
10 pounds above the 1932 average.
Prom this point. It dropped to 138
In 1902, and then started a gradual
climb that lasted until 1900, when
tt reached 155 pounds. Here It start
ed slipping again and slipped untU
1917. when it reached a low of 120
pounds per person. Then consumption
of meat tilted up again and climbed
slowly until 1923, reaching 150 pounds
per person. Then another decline
started that carried It down to 132
pounds In 1932.
IT IS Interesting to note that the
1 drop in meat consumption that
has occurred in the past 30 years
hasn't been steady and unbroken. In
stead. It has been up and down.
Vimt whv. this writer doer not pre-
"tend to-toiow,--Perhaps meat.eatlrjB
has been Influenced by faos, wm
have had their rise and fall.
n,,t. at least, here In a meat coun
try, It is encouraging to know that
the decline in meat ooiiuu.F
hasn't been unbroken. It has had
Its ups in the past, along with Its
downs, and so It may be assumed that
rt will have other ups.
On the basis of past experience, we
are about due for another up now.
THE DROP in consumption of meat
is due almost wholly to beef.
ivhich ha SUP!" rom R nlgn of 77
pounds in 1907 to a low of 46 pounds
last year.
This writer, for one. is m fond of
big thick steak as ever, but appar
ently there are many who are not.
Something quite drastic must have
happened to the public's appetite for
beef to bring about a reduction of
nearly half in per capita consump
tion in about 30 years.
WHILE beef eating has been going
down, pork eating has been going
up.
Back in 1902. along about the same
year when people of this country were
eating 155 pounds of beef apiece per
year this Including babies, of course,
along with the' adults, for these der
capita statistics take In everythlng
they were getting away with only 56
pounds of pork apiece per year.
Pork teetered up and down, but
principally down, for a decade- and
half, slipping clear down to an an
nual per capita consumption of 49
pounds in 1917- Then something hap-pened-Just
what, nobody seema to
know.
Anyway pork consumption started
totns up in 1917. and with a few
minor slips has been going up ever
lnce. It even went up last year over
the year before. In 1032. the people
of thla country ate 73 pounds of pork
piece.
AND here is a curious thing,
in spite of all the vegetable
oils that have been flooding the
country, per capita consumption of
lsrd in this country has increased
steadily since 1900 not much up and
down, but with an almost unbroken
upward curve.
CONSUMPTION of veal has gone
upward steadily since 1900, when
It was four pounds per person. It .is
now six pounds.
Mutton and lamb have Just about
held their own tn the 30 years, slip
ping rather badly from 1914 to 1928,
but staging a recovery along about
mnri h'ne row about enual o'
. . , , ,
the 1900 figure. h.cb was acten,

BILL INTRODUCED
PASSESJN HOUSE
Practice of Keeping Recall
Petitions On Ice for Politi
cal Club Is Abolished
Would Know Backers
The long threatened recall attempt
against Circuit Judge H. D. Norton
of this Judicial district, and which
has been one of the political clubs
whirled in the political turmoil, was
cited in the legislature yesterday, as
convincing evidence that corrections
of abuses of the recall are needed,
before the people "in their disgust
abollah it."
The house, with but lour negative
votes, passed a bill prohibiting the
keeping "of recall petitions on ice, to
be used as a club, and to make pub
lic the names of individuals and
groups who undertake recall of offi
cials." ' Backers Would Be Known
. Under this proposed law, the re
callers and the contributors will be
known the same as the official they
are seeking to remove. The bill pro
vides that three .months after filing
the original petition the petition
must be completed; all names being
held by the official In charge and not
turned back to the promoters. Only
legal registered voters can sign or
start a recall.
By forcing petitions to be filed In
90 days and giving publicity to all
contributors and the names of mem
bers'0f;Tecair organizations', -the' rtiost
flagrant abuses will be cured. The
recall has degenerated Into a species
of graft and racketeering, the house
was repeatedly told.
Norton Cose Cited
The recall campaign against Judge
Norton, was cited as an example of
the abuses practiced in the name of
reform. In a signed article in today's
Oregon lan, by John W. Kelly, the
local situation Is mentioned as fol
lows :
"For ten months In southern Ore
gon Judge Norton has been shot at In
the dark by recallers whose Identity
has been veiled in mystery, said Rep
resentative Miller, and it is time that
something be done to show up the
hidden- promoters of recalls. Repre
sentative McCormack said that the
grangers and others of his district
want the recall law brought up to
date."
Would Remove Veil
The new law would remove the
shroud of secrecy from all recall peti
tions, and reveal by publicity the
ca?h contributors, if any, and the
names of signers of recall petitions.
In this county, the names of the
fathers of the Norton recall remain

ROBINSON, A DRY,
IS CREDITED AS
REPEAL ENGINEER
By PAUL MALLON
(Copyrighted by MoClure Newspaper
; .. . syndicate.')-
WASHINGTON, Feb 23. The man
behind the guns In prohibition re
peal was nobody else than that erst
while dry -Democratic Floor leader
Robinson.
How he did it Is an inside tale
reaching far beyond the prohibition
Issue. It means Robinson's unques
tioned retention as Democratic leader.
It re-establishes his force as a guid
ing power In congress. When Garner
Is kicked upstairs to the vlce-presl
dency, Robinson now will be the most
Influential man in congress.
Two nudges pushed him into ac
tion. One 'came from the legislature
of his state. It went on record for
repeal a few days before his change
of front. Some close friends suggest
he had the legislature take that ac-
tlon to open the way for what he
did. That Is being denied, but not
strongly.
The second nudge Is supposed to
have come from Mr. Roosevelt. That
can never be proved, one way or an
other. "
Robinson went about his little coup
with an air of enthusiasm which
strongly suggests that he got the Idea
for it himself before he was nudged
by anyone.
He lay low In the last Presidential
campaign. There was considerable

ENTERDilURRER
Pleas of Not Guilty Made at
Hearing On Libel and
Syndicalism Indictments
Special Prosecutor
Pleas of not guilty were entered
lii circuit court thos morning before
Judge George F. Sklpworth of Eu
gene, to three Indictments one
charging criminal syndicalism, and
two charging criminal libel, by L. A.
Banks, editor and publisher of the
Medford Daily News.
The not guilty pleas were entered
with the proviso that Banks be given
five days In which to file a demurrer
to the Indictments. Banks, who ap
peared as his own counsel, filed three
motions, asking that the Indictments
be quashed. The motions contended
that the articles upon which the in
dictments were based were, "within
his constitutional right," and that
the question involved was "the free
dom of the press against public con
demnation of public officials."
Special Prosecutor planned.
The court, from the bench, recom
mended that a special prosecutor be
named to hear the criminal syndi
calism charge and that "the district
attorney should not try the criminal
syndicalism indictment. Deputy Dis
trict Attorney George Nellson advised
the court that a request had already
been filed with the .governor, request
ing that a special prosecutor be ap
pointed. The court declared that the special
prosecutor should be "In no way in
volved in your difficulty here."
At the opening of court, Judge
Skip worth urged Banks to procure an
attorney. The orchard 1st -editor re
plied that "the illegal legal trust had
closed the doors to him." Banks then
read his motion to set aside the in
dictments. -Should Get Attorney.
' Near the end of the Banks presen
tation of his motion, asking that the,
criminal syndicalism indictment be
quashed, the court again "strongly
urged" that he procure an attorney.
The court suggested to Banks that
through an attorney he present a
general demurrer to the Indictments.
Banks then acqulsced. The court
granted five days in which to file
the demurrer, with the privilege of
withdrawal of the pleas. The court
Informed Banks that he would Insure
as far as the court could, a guarantee
of his constitutional rights, "but the
court can only go so far." The court
held that the motions presented by
Banks were not In legal order or form,
but they would be admitted as part
of the record. Judge Sklpworth fur
ther stated that defendants In his
court would be protected "In their
constitutional rights." The court,
aside from advising him to procure an
attorney, gave advice as to the meth
ods to pursue.
The court hinted from the bench
that the criminal syndicalism indict
ment did not state sulflclent grounds
to constitute a crfme.
Argument In H Pays.
Under the ruling of the court, ar
gument on the demurrer to be f'.led
by Banks will be heard in five days.
Before granting this time, the court
asked Bank; "Are you, sure this is
sufficient time?"
The entire proceedings required
leas than 15 minutes. The court
room was packed, with an overflow
crowd In the hallway. Once, when a
mild disturbance arose In the hall,
the court rapped sharply for order,
with the words: "Order must be
maintained in the courtroom."
Many of the audience remained to
hear the naturalisation hearings con
ducted by Circuit Judge H. D. Nor
ton. Officers Attacked.
Judge Sklpworth returned to Eu
gene today. The demurrers and re
ply by the state may be presented
to him In briefs, and the court will
make a written ruling.
Separate demurrers, in ordinary )t-
gal procedure, would be filed against
each Indictment.
The criminal syndicalism Indict
ment was based on an article printed
January 8, entitled "The Declaration
of Independence." The criminal libel
indictment were based upon articles
entitled "Banditry" and "Judge Nor
ton's Confession." In the first, the
officers who seized newsprint In the
News plant, on a writ of attachment,
were rttlciawd. The second article
excoriated Circuit Judge H. D. Nor
ton for his address to the grand Jury.

Bunkhouse Fire Another Lie
. For a man who spends so iniioh lime cliUming llmt "truth" in Jurkson
county Is published only In hi, newspaper, and that truth depends solely
upon the Dally News for its existence here. L. A. Banks, editor of the Dally
News presents a strange paradox.
Banks presents the F. A. Bates.
Aged Foots Creek Minor" case as
one of the leading miscarriages of
justice In Jackson county, wherein
Bates Is supposed to have been the
victim of a wicked conspiracy between
officers and miners, and supposed to
have been deprived of his property
Illegally and Eates banished from the
county. A shining example of one
of the "truths" he presents In his
newspaper to prove his case Is brought
out by an interview with A. H. Clem
ents, of Central Point, a mining man
with whom Banks was associated in
the Black Channel mine venture.
No Dynamite Evidence.
Bates and Banks have repented'?
contended that the dams of Bates'
reservoirs had been dynamited by the
alleged "conspirators" In an effort to
hinder work on the. Black Channel
mine, and to drive Bates from his
property. Banks has repeated these
charges time and time again, refer
ring to Bates as the "poor, aged man,"
whose reservoirs were dynamttod In
a wicked conspiracy to deprive him
of his property.

It was the UNANIMOUS opinion that

Other Information was obtained from
people, who were outside spectators

they had the feeling "they were under

Every man, every industry,
in the U. S. was hit by depres

should have first found out

aid to everyone, every indus

But no, they didn't do that.
They started right in by help
ing the bankers, so every man,
woman and child in the U. S.
thinks, and rightly so, that
they have got as much right to
get somo sort of governmcut
aid as the bankers.
Due to the lack ot foresight
