Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
PLANS for the state fair, we read,
are under consideration, but as yet
BO definite and positive decision has
been made as to whether It will be
held.
In the past, the stste fair hss been
showing a deficit.
THIS writer hss an Idea that if the
state fair can't be made to PJ
Its own way It should be sjlscontlnued.
Its velue to the state as a whole Isn't
sufficient to warrant asking the
whole body of taxpayers to meet an
annual deficit.
There are too many dcfldta as It Is.
SPEAKINO of taxes, when we pay
them the state takes Its share
FIRST. If there arc delinquencies,
the counties have to carry the load.
just offhsnd. this looks like an In
justice, and It Is reported that Wasco
county is planning to challenge the
law that gives the atate the right to
collect Its ahare of the taxes first,
leaving the counties holding the de
linquency sack.
The state tax commission, Inci
dentally, doesn't think much of Wasco
county's chances to make Its conten
tion etlck, believing that the law
lr-tlght.
AS A MATTER of fact, there Is
more Justice to the law than at
llrst appears, and the ataU Isn't such
a Shylock as it seems to be. Keeping
the credit of the counties, the cities
and the various districts good de
pends upon keeping the credit of the
stat good, for If the states credit
t bad the credit of all the state's po
litical subdivisions will be bad. That
Is why It is necessary to be sure that
the state gets tta money.
A MONO the stories of business dis
tress that fill the papers, here
l. an exception the hop industry.
Bead again these paragraphs from
yesterday's news:
"The 'hop growers have no worries
about over-production. The only
care they have Is how to Increase
their crops to the maximum the land
will yield.
"No trouble to find buyers and
bo difficulty in getting a profit-paying
price. Supplies are short and
buyera are eager, and the price of 30
cents a pound gives the grower n
ample profit margin over the average
cost of production of around 14
cents."
Quite a rosy picture, isn't It? It
does one good to read about a bust
Bess that Is going so smoothly espec
tally since It is an agricultural busi
ness. "
WHY this rosy situation? ,
It is our old friend, the law of
supply and demand, that is respon
sible. Beer, which is the principal
user of hops, has n ban"1""1 ,or
13 years, but now Is coming back. It
la supposed to be coming back with
a rush, as we may guess from the
published statement the other day to
the effect that Chicago Is expected
to consume four million dollars worm
of it the first dsy.
with beer coming back with a rush,
there are more buyers than sellers of
hops, snd when there sre more buyers
than seller, of ANYTHING the price
' goes up.
It always works that way.
CHICAGO, by the way. Is evidently
planning to drink a lot of beer
the first day. If 'here is anything to
thi. .ooo.000 estimate.
The population of Chicago In 1030
was 3,375,335, and presumably it is no
more thsn that now. That mesns
little better than a dollars worth of
beer per person-Including the aged
and infirm and the babies. There are
atories afloat to the effect that beer
back there will sell at 8 cent, per
glass, so It is apparent that each per
son In Chicago must be planning to
drink something more than 30 glasses
of it on the first day-that H, If the
estlmsta Is not overdrawn.
Twenty glasses of beer In a day. es
peclslly for the bsbles, ought to be
a quite liberal ration.
SPEAKINO of supply and demand,
wouldn't It be nice If demand for
all farm products could become sud
denly as active as the demand for
hops? We wouldn't need any farm
relief bill then.
And here, by the way, Is a fact: If
everybody could hire all of ALL the
T.rlous things he really wants, de

roundings, where once only cham
pagne was poured, and with its com

going to keep beer in "good com
pany.' out of "dives" and "chisel
Jolnta."
Rules to Be Ready
Regulations to control the locaj
flow of beer have not been announc

per cent beer aa a new beverage

Next Friday, April 7, sale of beer
will be legalized by the federal gov
ernment, but unless something un
foreseen happens, pessimists announce
today, barrels won t be rolling into
Medford for several weeks hence. The
breweries are not ready to furnish
the supply, and considerable time'
will be required to produce the new
product In quantities demanded. "

Circuit Judge W. M. Duncan of

against Sheriff Gordon L. Schermer

expected to have his findings in the
.hands of Governor Meier not later

the case closed he would require two
or three days to study and complete
them.
The findings will embody a
view of tihe facts as shown In the 1
evidence, and It Is upon these that
the governor will act. The state con
tended that Sheriff Schermerhorn
showed solicitude for L. A. Banks
and was under the dictation and
dominance of Banks and County
Judge E. H. Fehl; that appointments
were made by Fehl: that he took no
action on threats and gun-toting by
"Banks' guards"; was indifferent to
court hotiAC loafers and their dally
overrunning of tie court house cor
ridors; that his chief deputy loaned
his auto on the night of the ballot

crime, one of whom has since en

occupancy or the sheriff s office was
detrimental to cases pending.

WASHINGTON, March 30. (AP)
A remodeled national defense sys

was recommended to the hoise mili
tary affairs committee today by Wil
liam Mitchell, former brigadier gen
eral, who served aa assistant chief of
the army air corps.
Mitchell proposed that the land,
fica and air forces of the United
States be merged Into a department
of national defense with only one
head. Assistants would be charged
with supervising activities of. the
army, navy and aviation.
A bill to accomplish that has Just
been Introduced by Chairman Mc

tee, and It was that proposal, among
others, which the committee was con
sidering today.
' New Policy Needed

the development In the world war,

entirely new -policy." Defense, he
said, should center around subma
