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. (Signed) L. J. SHURTLEFP.

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.
