MEDFORD MAIL TRIBTJNH, MEDFOKD. OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1933. PAGE SEVEN GOLD MINING IS ' DECLARED BEST RELIEFJR ALL Southern Oregon Mining As sociation Believes All Idle Can Be Put to Work Through Government Aid To the Editor: In your Issue of February 22 there appears a very Interesting article by Mr. Hamilton Patton. In which he enumerates five different fields of activity whereby the unemployed v might be placed on a remunerative basis. Because It seems to us that Mr. Fatton has overlooked the most Im portant one of all, I would like to take tnis opportunity w pxace do fore the people the outline of a plan which is already before the county court and that can be made to em ploy as many men as all the five fields or activity outlined oy air. rat ton and will be productive of more value than all of them put together. The field of activity for labor, as 'provided by the farms, ranches and orchards, is necessarily limited and with the exception of harvesting, packing and shipping of the pear crop, covering a penoa oi bus weeks to two months, Is capable of absorbing but a small portion of the nreaent Idle element. If an attempt Is made to provide work for some 2000 men In Jackson county on such work as might be done on the streets and roads, even with the addition of the sewage dls nosal plant, and the work be equally distributed, each man might get some three or four weeks' worK. At the end of .his period of em ". ployment he pays a few bills, some light, some water and some grocery bills, and, In another week or ten davs he is again out of funds, out of employment, with nothing then to look forward to except to return to the county officials for further aid, There Is In Medford an organiza tion known as the Southern Oregon Mining Association, which has made application for a portion of the emergency fund to use on a plan it has outlined to the court. So, here la plan or field activity number six. On privately owned ground, at dif ferent oolnta throughout the coun- ty, exist proven placer tracts that can be worked under terms of lease by the association. In nearly every case a certain amount of dead work must be done prior to putting the tract on a productive basis, the things needed being tools, food, per haps some lumber, and, in many cases, shelter for tne woncers. in almost every Instance this can be accomplished In the aforesaid two weeks' allotment of work. The worker la given no salary, but his needs are supplied to bring him to the point of self productiveness and his efforts are put forth under the direction of a competent and ex perienced superintendent, so that all possible errors are eliminated. - Now, at the end of his two weeks' period, Instead of being again out of a Job; Instead of having nothing fur ther to look forward to; Instead of again being ready to go to the county for more assistance, he has a Job; he Is beginning to produce; he Is enjoy ing a .payroll of his own production, a payroll that doesn't come from the taxpayer's pocket; he la Independent, busy and happy. He continues to work and, In 60 days, he ,nas placed ten times more BRAND NEW- dollars In circulation In his community than it took him to get started, and the best part of the whole plan la there Is room for ev ery idle man In Jackson county to be busy and active In this field of en deavor.

LEGISLATORS KILL (Continued from Page One) Senators Franclscovlch and Strayer and Representatives Nichols, Paget and Miller. Brown alone, chairman of the Joint committee, reported fa vorably and the debate started when he moved that the minority report be substituted for the majority. Stormy Debate. The vote, which came after a stormy three-hour floor battle in which Brown and Zimmerman warned that threats of violent resistance by the people were In the air, was as follows: For Brown, Burke, Dickson. Dun can, Hess, Jones, Spauldtng, Yates, Zimmerman. Against Allen, Booth, Bynon, Chin nock, Corbett, Dunn, Dunne. Fisher, Franclscovlch, Ooss, Haalett, Lee, Mann, McFadden. Staples, Strayer, Upton. Wheeler, Williamson. Wood ward. Kiddle. A bill which would change the pres ent tax system for mature forest lands and known as the forest severance tax measure was killed when the house of representatives, by a heavy negative vote, rejected a minority re port that the bill do pass. Counties Share. It provided, on the 1032 ad valo rem tax as extended, a forest fee for a 10-year period, being reduced 10 per cent each year. To offset this a yield tax of one-half of one per cent the first year. Increased one per cent annually until 12 per cent la reach ed the final year. Counties would share on the tax yield In proportion to their forest lands after the tax had been split 60-40. Opposition to the bill was raised on the ground that It would shut off payrolls and close down sawmills. Others held It an experiment that was dangerous at this time when sawmills were being operated on a slight mar gin. The house In 16 minutes voted fa vorably upon the establishment of branch banks In the state with only four representatives voting against the proposal. These were Bennett, Clarke, Nichols and Lewis. It fol lowed this action by unanimously ap proving a bill designed to strengthen the state banking code by the addi tion of two bankers to the state bank ing board. Permit Branches. The measure would permit any bank or trust company with sufficient un impaired capital and Investments in excess of e 1.000, 000, locate branches throughout the state. A branch bank may not be set up In competition with existing Institutions, but must take over the operation of one of these. If established. The senate also refused its approval to a bill Introduced by the senate roads and highways committee pro viding that money collected in fine for the crime of drunken driving of automobiles be turned into the state highway fund. The bill was defeated by a close vote. Among bills passed by the senate was a house measure Increasing fees paid to the state utilities commis sioner by utilities, particularly for supervision. The bill la designed to make the department self-sustaining and was not a controversial measure. Recall Bill Killed. Senator Oo&s attempted to get re consideration of a house bill, indefi nitely postponed at the morning ses sion, which would extend civil service to cities of 5000 population. The senate refused reconsideration. Simi larly the senate refused to reconsider Representative Abrams' bill making It unlawful to pay for the circulation of initiative, referendum or recall petitions. The bill was kilted by in definite postponement Tuesday. Three more measures were Intro duced In the senate whereby the state could a all itself of reconstruction finance corporation funds for unem ployment relief. The companion bills refer mainly to clearing lands, re forestation and similar purposes to which these funds are not now avail able. The main bill provides for the creation of Improvement districts for clearing lands and preparing them for cultivation, habitation, reforesta tion or preservation of water sheds. No appropriation la asked and no commission created. No district could be formed to receive R. F. O. funds except with approval of the state re lief committee. Sponsors of the meas ures say their purpose is to furnish relief through work Instead of through the dole. Would Lift Fund Curb. One of the measures would suspend for two years an act of the 1931 ses sion wherein the expenditure of pub lic funds la limited to the exact budget provisions. The bill would permit the expenditure of other funds that might he received for a particular purpose. Sponsors of the program believe the existing inhibi tion might hamper unemployment re lief. Survey of several state Institutions was asked by a house concurrent reao. lutlon directing that the sunerin. tendent of public Instruction have charge. The institutions include the penitentiary and reformatory, state schools for boys and girls and the Oregon Fair-view home, formerly known as the feeble-minded school. me survey would be both for voca tlonal and education survey. The resolution names a committee composed of Mrs. a. It. Buland of Portland. Mlsa Getta Wasserman of Portland, Mrs. Julia Swett of Port land, Mrs. w. W. Gabriel of Portland, Miss Sally Bush. Mrs. Frlta Slarftv both of Salem and Mrs. Frank Cham bers of Eugene. Six other members of the committee will be appointed oy tne governor.
