Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JF.NK1SS
PERHAPS you noticed In the
papers this headline: "European
Debtors to Beg for Delay."
What it means la thla: War debt
payment amounting to t44,179.a74.
are due to thla country from Euro
pean debtors on June 15 41.162.
840 on principal and $103,026,834 In
Interest.
These debtors, It appear, will al
lege on June 15 that they are unable
to pay. and will ask for . MORE
TIME.
M
THESE debts, you aee, were con
tracted when times were easy
and money cheap. They are falling
due when tlmea are hard and money
DEAR. Bo the natlone that made
the debta are unable to pay them
when1 they fall due and so are com
pelled to ask for more time.
The point that Interests common.
- ordinary people, like you and me,
who do not profess to be statesmen,
Is that nations, as well as Individuals,
suffer severely when they borrow
cheap money In good times and have
to pay It back with dear money in
bad times.
IN ORDER to understand Just what
has happened, let us get back to
the Illustration that has been made
ao often In thla column of the wheat
farmer who borrowed 1.000 five or
six yeara ago and has to pay It back
now.
When he borrowed the money,
wheat was selling on the farm at
around 1 a bushel. During the
past winter, wheat has been quoted
at Interior points at around 15 cents
on the farm.
ThBt is to aay, when this farmer
made his losn ha , borrowed the
equivalent of 1,000 bushels of wheat.
When he has to pBy It NOW, he must
pay the equivalent of 7,000 bushels
of wheat.
LET us take an actual Instance
which Is known to this wrltert
An Iowa farmer la facing foreclos
ure of a mortgage thst was made
back In the days when corn was
selling at around 60 cents on the
farm. The best offer he has been
able to get for corn on the farm
during the past winter has been ten
eents. So. you see, for every bushel
of corn he borrowed he has to pay
back SIX bushels.
That cornea hard.
THEORETICALLY, we should bor
row in bad times and pay back
In good tlmea. If we did that, every
thing would be lovely.
But, as everyone knows. It doesn't
work that way. We borrow in good
times, to expand our business, or to
buy things we want and think we
' can afford, or for various other
reasons. Whatever the reasons, ex
perience extending over hundreds of
yeara prove that the bulk of the bor
rowing Is done in good times and
the bulk of the paying In bad tlmea.
When we borrow in good times
we borrow cheap dollars, and when
we pay In bad times we must pay
with dear dollare. No one ha to be
told that thla Involves a lot of suf
fering for the borrower.
It Is one of the principal reasons
why hard times hit us so hard.
THERE are smart brains In Vieae
modern daya.
These smart bralna have given us
the radio, by whose aid the Presi
dent of the United States can today
soeak aa readily to 75 millions of
people, scattered from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, as Washington could
have spoken to an audience of a
few hundreds. If you heard Presi
dent Roosevelt's speech on the bank-
ing crisis, delivered the day after
his Inauguration you know how Im
portant an instrument the radio can
be.
I it too much to hope that in
time the same smart brains thai
gave us the radio can give us a dol
lar that will have approximately the
same value In bad times a In good?
SMART brains, It ought to be sdded
here, are working now on this
identical problem. Professor Irving
Fisher is proposing what he calla a
"commodity dollar" that Is, a dol-
lar whose value Is based upon com
modities so that It will raise and
fall along with commodities
nils theory, as yet, has not been
widely accepted. Most p-oplr, as a

been definitely set for Tuesday, April
18th. at 6:30 p. m. In the Knights

be one of the most Important held

from Medford and Jackson county
but from Josephine county and Klam

"The main speaker of the evening

the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce,
and In view of the fact that he Is one
of America's most outstanding cham
ber of commerce secretaries, I believe
we are very fortunate to obtain his
services." stated Mr. Johnsen.
Has Wide Experience
Mr. Stevenson ha been secretary
of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce
for seven years and his wide experi
ence in chamber arfalra and his broad
knowledge of the Pacific coast has
been the means of making the cham
ber of commerce In the Washington
olty one of the leaders in the west.
Secretary Stevenson is not an op
portunist but possesses a keen anall
tloal mind and his thorough ac
quaintance with matters pertaining
to industrial development was to a
great extent responsible for the fact
that during his first year of adminis
tration, Tacoma secured over' forty
new Industries with an investment
of over five million dollars. t
He was also mainly responsible for
manv pulp and paper plants being lo
cated in the. Pacific northwest par
ticularly in Tacoma. In 1030 Mr. Stev
enson was awarded first prize by the
National Association of Secretaries
for having performed the most out

any secretary in the United States.

FAILS TO PROVE
Confusion Resulted From
Seizure Reports And
Amount On Hand Is View
Made Political Thunder
Dest ruct ion of all confiscated
liquor, held by the sheriff was under
way this afternoon. It was dumped
into the sewer, with Sheriff Olm
ncheid in charge, assisted by Deputy
Sheriff Leach, state police, and court
house Janitors. Rev. Alex . Bennett
of the First Methodist church was
among the spectators. Commissioner
R. E. Ncalon and Deputy District At
torney Nellson were also present.
An inventory taken yesterday of
confiscated liquor held in the sher
iff's vault at the courthouse, reveals
no shortage, aa Indicated In the re
port of the grand Jury of which Wil
liam T. Grieve was foreman; but in
stead that the two check-ups are vtr-
utlally the same, in essential figures.
The grand Jury report was based
upon the liquor records of seizure
and orders of liquor destruction, and
a check of liquor actually on hand.
They did not conform, and resulted
la false assumptions by both the
public and the grand Jury, of "liquor
shortages." It la now evident there
was nothing of the kind, and that
the grand Jury report, wittingly or
unwittingly, was used as fuel for
political fires, by agitation racketeers.
The inventory taken yesterday was
by suspended-Sheriff Gordon L.
Schermerhorn, his attorney, Frank J.
Newman, Sheriff Walter Olmscheld,
Chief Deputy Sheriff Edward Leach,
and Assistant District Attorney Geo.
W. Nellson. A court order signed to
day authorized the destruction of the
liquor, so that Sheriff Olmscheld
will have a clean liquor vault.
The ' supposedly vanished liquor-r
and much of the political turmoil in
thla county has centered around it
was used as a talking point , by
"congross" orators, to aliblfor the
theft of the ballots. Henrietta B.
Martin, Its president, in her last ap
pearance on the courthoiise steps, on
the day that L. A. Banks "proclaimed
a revolution" charged that the bal
lots were stolen to distract public
attention from the missing booze,
and intimated lta disappearance was
the greater crime. .It was- also wide
ly charged that former Sheriff Jen
nings and two sons, as deputies, had
taken the liquor. When the brazen
and bungled balloL theft waareveolcd
and arrests made, the first claim was
that "the aame people got both."
The grand Jury in its report, stated
a "careful check" showed 30 gallons
alcohol, 158 bottles gin, 20 gallons of
water, and 168 bottles of gin; and no
wine on hand. No shortage of beer,
whlHcry, and moonshine was report
ed. Six five-gallon cans of grain alco
hol, four five-gal Ion cans containing
water, 167 half bottles of jjln, one
quart of Mumms champagne, 108
bottlea of beer, 20 empty milk cans.
20 empty pint bottles, a carton of
pint bottles, and moonshine and
whiskey of many grades and many
type containers.
The grand Jury found a half bottle
more of gin, and did not discover the
champagne.
