rlRBB sales of hops are made near
near Salem for 28 cent a pound.
V- which Is a high price as compared
with any In recent years. But grow
ers, we read, are not anxious to sell,
even at 28 cents a pound. They ttilnk
the price will go higher.
Some of them, who are probably
too greedy, are holding for 50 cents.
WHY do hop growers think prices
will go higher?
The answer Is simple. They see
that under existing market conditions
there are more buyers than sellers,
and they know that whenever there
are more buyers than sellers prices
rise.
It has always been that way, and
it always will be.
WHEAT prices, also, touch new high
. levels.
Why? Because the latest govern
ment report, Just released. Indicates
the smallest wheat crop In this coun
try since 1804. Some of the experts
believe that this year the United
States will produce from 60 millions
to 100 million bushels LESS than It
consumes.
If that Is true, there will be more
buyers than sellers of wheat, and
prices will rise.
WE create farm boards by law, and
give them .half billion dollar
appropriations to work with, and they
go to work to hold up prices of wheat
by artificial measures.
Then along comes a reduction of
supply, sufficient to Indicate that
supply will go below demand, and
IMMEDIATELY wheat prices begin to
go up.
There has been a lot of talk to the
effect that the law of supply and de
mand la out of date, but the fact
remains that It ISN'T. - ";r---

GEOaOE BERNARD SHAW comCB
to this country, hires a hall, and
6000 persons PAY MONEY to hear him
ridicule the United States, Its Insti
tutions and Its people.
That's a situation for you, Isn't It?
BUT If what Garet Garett tella us
In the latest Issue of the Satur
day Evening Post Is true, we are en
titled to all th ridicule that Shaw,
or any other foreigner, could heap
upon us.
Here, he says, I what la happen
ing to us: We are permitting depre
ciated money countries to flood our
markets with goods of all kinds that
sell here at prices FAR BELOW our
own cost of production. The result
la that our own people are kept out
of work and we have to support them
by means of unemployment relief.
With all that going on. he tells us.
with unemployment conditions get
ting worse every day and with the
flood of foreign products entering
i our markets INCREASING, we are so
' dumb that. we refuse to do anything
about It.
HERB is the"way this depreciated
money business works:
The foreign manufacturer, sells his
goods In this country and receives
American dollars, worth 100 cents In
gold. With these American dollars
h buys his own depreciated money,
worth anywhere from 50 to 75 cents
gold, and vises It to pay .his labor and
t buy his raw materials.
The saving he thus makes Is so
great aa to enable him to pay Ameri
can tariff duties and still sell hla
goods In this country far cheaper than
we csn PRODUCE them, let alone
sell them.
FRANCE, also, la a go'.d money
cuntry. Just ss we are. So France
Is EXPOSED to this same danger,
v But France Is SMART.
Prance Increases her tariff duties
on the products of each depreciated
money country in the exact propor
tion in which the money of that
country Is depreciated In relation to
6old.
Thus, you see, the cheap money
countries can't undersell the French
In their home markets and so keep
workers out of Jobs.
WE could do that. Just as easily as
France, If only we had sense
enough. But we HAVEN'T.
Congress has been besought re
peatedly by American producers to
pass such a lsw. but has so far re
fused. Congress, you know, psssea

far the argument that we shouldn't
do any sucrt thing has prevailed. One
of the arguments has been that

TRIAL SCHEDULED
ANE
ING MAY 1
Judge Skipworth Orders
Former Orchardist-Editor
and Wife On Trial for
"Murder at Early Date
Ij. A- Banks, ex-editor and orchard
lst, and hi wife, Edith ft. Bank,
charged with first degree murder for
the slaying March 16 of Constable.
George J. Prescott, will be tried in
Lane county, it was announced this
afternoon, when the change of venue,
requested by the defense, was granted
by Circuit Judge George F. Skipworth.
May I was set as date for the opening
of the trial. Expenses of all witnesses
from Jnckson to Lane county and re
turn will be borne by this county, It
was also reported this afternoon.
Curry County Wanted.
' When the change of venue motion
was granted In court by Judge Skip
worth he Indicated that Douglas
county would be the site of the trial.
The defense counsel, through W. B.
Phlpps, proposed Curry county which
was rejected by the court. The de
fense objected to placing the trial
in Josephine county, charging that
"scurrilous" articles had been pub
lished in the Grants Pass newspapers.
Judge Skipworth left the bench
to telephone Judge Hamilton of Doug
las county, to determine If the Btate
docket would permit a speedy trial.
Time and place of the trial was an
nounced later In the afternoon.
In granting the motion for a
change of venue the court held "that,
owing to the situation here which
permeates every corner of the county,
in the court's Judgment an Impartial
trial could not be secured," The
court observed that it would require
weeks to obtain a Jury, and "that
the ends of Justice would best be
served by moving the trial to another
county." ' -,j
.The defense entered an affidavit
'signed by the two defendants' charg
ing that the press and citizens of
the county, Including the "Commit
tee of 100, was engaged In the dis
semination of false, defamatory ami
prejudicial matter," and "that mob
violence .had been threatened by
friends of the slain officer."
The affidavit further admitted tfiat
Banks was, prevlotis to the crime, de
voted to the publication of a news
paper "devoted to criticism," and
that by so doing he had aroused the
"enmity of business men, citizens,
organizations and Interests of the
county."
Attorney W. E. Phlpps read excerpts
from the Mail Tribune which he
characterized as prejudicial to the
defendants, Including one editorial,
and an article giving a history of
Banks' career .here. He charged that
the press published "highly colored
articles" against the defendants.
The court, before Attorney Phlpps
had finished reading all the press
comment, was cut short by the
court, who at the same time advised
the state, "that In my Judgment the
trial and case should be moved -to
another county, for the'best interests
of all concerned." .
The state made no resistance to
the change, following the ruling, of
the court.
Banks throughout the short pro
ceedings sat with quiet demeanor
but took a lively interest in the acts
of hla attorneys at the finish. Both
defendant were more serious than
on their previous appearances. The
courtroom crowd was again limited
to the seating capacity.

WAI.TBR J. OI.MSC'MEID, newly ap
pointed sheriff of Jackson county,
io yesterday officiated at the pour
ing Into the sewer of a large quantity
of confiscated liquor.
NEVER EXPLAINED
Members of the grand Jury for the
October term of the circuit court, of
which William T. Grieve, of Prospect
was foreman today denied claims that
there was "no shortage" in the liquor
held- In -the . sheriff's Vault of the
courthouses-'' i'T'iv,- " . r. .-.
They reiterated that 140 gallons of
t alcohol and . 50 bottles of gin were
"missing" on a check' of the selKure
records of the state police and the
district attorney's office, as compared
with the liquor In the vault. Tills
was embodied In the grand Jury's re
port. There was no shortage in the beer,
moonshine and so-called bonded
goods, but on the contrary, a surplus,
which was due to unsystematic rec
ords, they said.
The grand Jurors repeated that the
"shortage has not been accounted for"
and "there Is no way to account for
It. apparently." The grand Jurors der
clared they spent considerable time
and effort endeavoring to solve the
"mystery," and that tf there had been
any basis for Indictments they would,
have returned them without fear or
favor. They agreed that the "van
ishing" was as puzzling to them, as
to the public.
The grand Jurors also resented the
imputation that they were a "Banks
Fehl" grand Jury, or that they were
"playing rpolltics."
One of the grand Jurors said that
the least said now about the "short
age" the better, to the end that the
community return to harmony. He
charged that most of the turmoil over
the confiscated liquor was "politics."
The liquor was destroyed yesterday
afternoon. . under court order, by

BRITISH ENGINEER
IN RUSSIAN TRIAL
TELLS SPYING
Fellow Briton Deneis All
Charges Sensational
Revelations Show Infor
mation Sent to England
MOSCOW. April 13.-(P)-Two Brit
ish engineers accused of espionage
and sabotage raced each other today
across the courtroom, one turning
state', evidence and the other deny.
Ing every charge.
William H. MacDonald, the only one
of six accused employees of the Met-ropolltun-Vickers
electrical company
to plead guilty when the trial began
yesterday, amplified previous testi
mony to the effect that he acted un
der the instructions of L. C. Thorn
ton, another defendant, In gathering
military and economic Information
which subsequently was sent to
England.
MaoDonald caused a stir by declar
ing he had made Incriminating state
ments at the time of his arrest be
cause of the methods of the Russian
secret police. -Ho said they had shown
him a statement which they said had
been made by Thornton In which
Thornton admitted having used Mac- '
Donald to collect Information. He
acknowledged his guilt of all the .
charges against him, however.
Thornton denied "confessions"
made at the tlme ,r his arrest, de- '
clarliuj he had been frightened and
thought he would ha-ve' a chance to
correct his statements later. He stuck
to that story despite the scornful
laughter of the audience, the prose
cutor and the Judges.
Later he admitted - his orltrln.1
statement was made without duress,
but he insisted It wss not true.
MacDonald, lame since childhood,
told the court he had collected mili
tary, economical and political Infor
mation at Leningrad and at Zlatoust
on Thornton's Instruction. He also
said he had; wrecked machinery at
-Zlatoust, Tvhere there Is an Important
power pisnt, In an effort to crlpplo
factories making war materials..
Every time MaoDonald made
statement of this kind the prosecutor
tumid to Thornton.
"Do . you admit that?" he would
ask.
Each time Thornton's answer was
no. The only Information he ever
collected or ordered collected, he aald,
was Information concerning the op
eration of machinery Installed at Rus
sian planta by hla company.
He agreed he had paid 3.000 rubles
for "uurrent expenses" to a Russian
named Dolgov, who was Identified as
an agent provocateur.
"'There are no spies In our com
pany and we do no spy's work." ssid
Thornton.
But MacDonald said: "I systematic
ally collected Information and I sup
posed other engineers did the same."
