Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE governor of Michigan declares
a bank holiday, whloh means
that while the holiday lasts the Mich
igan banks don't have to pay out
money to depositors.
Now get this: .
Banks In OTHER STATES are de
positors In banks In Michigan. Be
cause of the holiday, they can't get
their money IMMEDIATELY out of
the Michigan banks. '
So holidays Save to be declared
in 'Other states in order to enable
their banks to meet the situation
that arose out of the Michigan holi
day. r' IS like the 'rowa of dominoes,
you see, that children set up.
When the domino on the end la
pushed over, it topples the one next
to It; and so on until the end la
leached.
In time, this train of event that
was started In Michigan reaches the
Pacific coast, and bank holidays are
declared in Oregon, Washington and
California.
WHY these holidays? you ask.
Here la the answer: To PRO
TECT the money of the depositors.
That la the whole story.
"B"
that
be? How is the depositor pro
tected when he can't get all his
money that U in the bank?"
And here la the answer to that
question:
The institution of banking, which
Is one of the most Important insti
tutions we have, making possible
most of the enormous expansion in
business which has occurred since
banking began, la built upon the fact
that In normal times all depositors
won't want Jthelr money at once. But
- In ABNORMAL times, auch-as (.hone,,
something may occur that will make
them' all want their money at once.
When that happens, there Is trouble
and EVERYBODY loses.
These bank holidays make It pos
sible to restrict payments and thus
prevent the dissipation of the com
munity's accumulated capital, upon
which its whole commercial progress
depen t.
So. you see, they DO protect the
depositor.
BANKING Is a very ancient insti
tution, which Is supposed to
have been founded by the Phoeni
cians, The earliest bankers accepted de
posits of money gold or silver, usu
allyfor safekeeping ONLY, and
they charged a fee for this service.
That was all there was to It, at
first.
BUT. in the course of time, some
smart Phoenician at least the
credit la usually given to the Phoe
nicians made the discovery that all
his customers didn't ask for their
money at the same time.
So the thought occurred to him:
"Why not LEND a part of thla money
to people who need it In order to
carry on their business, instead of
leaving it lying here idle? As the
money from these loans comes back
In, I can use It to repay those who
, ' want to take their money out, and
thus everybody will be helped."
The scheme worked, and so the in
stitution of banking, which Is one
of the most useful institutions we
have, was born.
TJUT keep this clearly In mind: '
- The whole institution of bank
ing, which has done so much to make

' NEW PRESIDENT
IN SWIFT MOVE
TO HALT SLUMP
Vows Immediate Action in
Emergency Senate Ap
proves Cabinet Choice
Traditional Rites Seen
By Edward J. Duffy
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, March 4. (API
The echo of the presidential oath
for Franklin D. Roosevelt bad hard
ly died this afternoon before he set
out to conquer the great challenge
that confronts the country In the
banking emergency.
Steeled for Immediate action, in
his Inaugural address he vowed de
termination to lead the "army of
our people" as though to vanquish
enemies of war; returned to the
White House from the capltol, at
once submitted his cabinet nomina
tions to the senate and called that
cabinet together for counsel late in
the day.
Cabinet Choices Confirmed
Matching his will for no delay,
the senate In special meeting lost
no time In confirming all .his cab
inet choices.
Judging from the comments, there
was no doubt that the legislators
had been Impressed by the Demo
cratic Roosevelt's forthright declar
ation that the times must be con
sidered like times of war, and that
he. Intended to seek any drastic ex
ecutive powers necessary to handle
what comes.
Thla swift succession of events
overshadowed all else in the signif
icance of the .historical day.
- Outwardly, all the traditional pag
eantry of inaugurations held sway.
But there was more than that.
Big Events Sensed
Never was there such a day, for
beneath the panoply of. parade ran

FEATURE DAY OF
Tl
Yesterday was a, day of wild rumors
In the strife and turmoil that has be
set Jackson county for the past two
months.
The most widely circulated rumor
was that former Sheriff Ralph O. Jen
nings, and his two sonr Paul Jen
nings and Louis Jennings had been
arrested by "government secret men."
The report was termed baseless and
fantastic In the extreme. It gained
wide circulation In some of the coun
try districts. In the north part of
the county.
Fen! Refuses to Talk.
Earl H. Fehl, as county Judge, re
fused comment upon the report that
he had Issued warrants for Chief of
Police Clatous McCredle, Sheriff Gor
don L. Schermerhorn, and Coroner.
Frank A. Perl.. Fehl stated over the
telephone that he "was not- telling
anything to' the newspapers." It was
reported that Fehl planned to name
a "deputy constable' to serve war
rants. The coroner and sheriff Fri
day refused to serve a warrant on
Chief McCredle. In defiance of the
circuit court's restraining order.
The district attorney's office spent
yesterday working on the evidence
In the ballot theft and destruction
ease, for presentation to the grand
Jury, of which Theodore J. Bell, Jr.,
is the foreman. The exact date for
convening of the Inquisitorial body
Is problematical. It cannot be con
vened upon any of the non-Judicial
days occasioned by the bank morato
rium. It la probable that the grand
Jury will consider all the testimony
gathered In the ballot stealing
charges. The authorities still refuse
to make public any of the evidence.
or deny or affirm that a number of
confessions and statements have been
made. '
Half Dozen Hunted.
There were no new arrests In the
case yesterday, though a still hunt
continued for a half dozen men
wanted on warrants or for question
ing In the case.
Efforts of Attorney T. J. Enrlght
to secure the release of T. L. Bre
cheen of Ashland and C. W. (Chuck)
Davis of this city, arrested a week
ago, and now held In the Josephine
county Jail, were postponed. Justice
of the Peace William R Coleman re
fused to approve the bond until the
bondsmen had been examined for
their qualifications. Bonds were prof
fered In the sum of $5000 each.
Saturday was one of the calmest
days in wecka at the courthouse, and
the main hallway was practically
empty most of the afternoon, save
for a dozen or so men. gathered In
groups. It was a non-judicial day.

(AP) Japanese troops today occu

of Jehol, and Immediately ttirned to
the task of seizing the passes along
the north wall of China.
Major General Tadashl Kawahara's
16th Infantry brigade entered Juhol
city officially at 11:30 a. m., after a
battle with 3000 Chinese four miles
from the capital. The .Chinese were
routed and many cannon, machine
guns and horses were captured. An
aerial bombardment preceded the en

The Japanese then continued the
pursuit of their foes, Intending to
follow them as far as Kupenkow, in
the great wall of China, and occupy
that gateway to Pelplng, only 60 miles
further south.
The 14th Infantry brigade under
Major Oeneral Heljlro Hat tor I routed

COMMON SENSE

Incoming Administration Will
Be Vastly Different
Southern Faithful Peeved
by Cabinet Choices
(Copyrighted by McClure Newspaper
Syndicate)
By Vau Mullon
WASHINGTON, March 4 You may
not rcalizo yet how different these
Democrat aro going to be. From
President Roosevelt on down through
the cabinet list they are tackling
their Jobs today with an underlying
feeling entirely foreign' to ordinary
Washington Inaugurations.
Their different spirit is well ex
pressed by a certain new cabinet
officer. He told newspapermen con
fidentially In his first press confer
ence:
"I am no super-man. I do not
know much about the Job I am tak-.
lng. But I have an Idea that what
this government needs is s little
common sense, rather than exper
ience or expert. T,hat Is all I hope
to give It.
"I am thoroughly amazed at the
deplorable situation In which we
find ourselves. But I am not afraid.
1 think If we keep our feet on the
ground and use common sense we
hall soon be all right."
These new Democrats have a pen
chant for talking "off the record.'
Mr. Roosevelt and the cabinet mem
bers converse freely and In a friend
ly way with newspapermen and call
ers but seldom for publication. They
do nob run very strongly to public
statements.
What they say In confidence la
usually quite frank and devoid of
propaganda. For Instance one cab
inet officer was asked what be
thought of guaranteeing bank de
posits. Without , hesitation he re
plied:. "Off .the record, i thlnk tt
would be awful.'
Such a clear-cut answer as that
was a shock to old-time correspon
dents who are accustomed to Ifs,
buts and howevers.
Faithful Democrats from down
south were so peeved they held, a
secret meeting when Mr. Roosevelt
selected Interior Secretary Ickea.
They could see no good reason in
designating a Republican for any
thing except damnation.
was actually chosen to call on tha
high priest of patronage, Mr. Farley
to make a protest. Ho did.
Next day Mr. Roosevelt officially
announced selection of Ickes.
How Mr. Roosevelt's wooing of the
Progressives will come out Is a sub
ject given much consideration In
congressional cloakrooms. Those In
the southern wing of the . party
could understand when he . chose
Agriculture Secretary Wallace. They
thought he went too far In picking
Ickes also.
