Day's News
BY FRANK JENKINS.
IP YOU follow the really significant
news of the day, rather than that
which la merely Interesting, you have
noted thla brief paragraph:
"Chairman Steagall. of the house
banking committee, told newspaper
men today he favors currency Infla
tion, and expressed the belief that
Jf such a proposal was brought to
the floor of the house It would pass."
IN THE SAME issue of thla news
paper thBt carried Chairman Stea
gall's statement, these market notes
vere printed:
"General advance In butter la
quoted." "Higher p'rlcea prevail in
wheat market." "Wool market tone
itlll optimistic."
There are many. It appears, who
ehare Chairman Steagall'a views.

INFLATION means cheaper money.
Cheaper money means rising prices.
So those who believe Inflation is com

the rise.
AUTOMOBILE" accidents In Oregon
during the past year decreased 20
per cent over the year before, accord
ing to a report Just issued by Hal
B Hosa. secretary of state.
During the same period, the num
ber of persons injured in automobile
accidents in Oregon decreased 27 per
cent.
DID OREGON people drive more
carefully last year than the year
before? or were there merely fewer
drivers on the roads?
Answer those questions to suit
yourself. But if you have been a rea
sonably closo observer of traffic on
the highways during the past year,
you will be inclined to say that there
were merely fewer drivers.
IN A FORGOTTEN corner of a, ware
house in 8alem the other day, a
coffin containing the mummified
bodies of a mother and child was
found. The find created quite a stir.
Later on. however, the owner or
the warehouse recalled that the coffin
had been stored some 20 years .ago
by a man who had been exhibiting
It and Its contents at a sideshow at
the state fair. The bodies were sup
posed to be mummies brought to this
country from Egypt, and credulous
persons paid money to see them.
Close examination the other nay
revealed that they were made of paper
mache.
THOSE who paid money to see them
were gypped, do you say?
Pooh! roohl Anybody who pays
money at a sideshow to look at mum

A STOP Y got out the other day to
trhe effect that the state game
commission Is considering an open
season on antelope In Oregon, and
immediately protests began to come
In from every side.
This writer doesn't believe the atate
game commission, whose members are
good sportemen and ardent believers
in the value of wild life, ever con
sidered such an Idea. It was proB
ably Just one of those tales that get
started.
ACCORDINO to the story, as it got
spread around, the Lalte county
chamber of commerce Is baelc of the
open season plan. This writer KNOWS
that isn't true.
The Hart mountain country, where
the antelope range. Is one of the

PORTLAND, April 17. (AP) Ore
gon's quota In the. peace-time army
of conservation will be 2000 men and
by the middle of next month these
men will be ready to advance to the
front lines In Oregon's national for
ests. While the majority of the workers
will be unmarried men between the
ages of 18 and 25, a number of older
men experienced In forest work will
be selected. The workers will be
placed in forest camps of 200 men
after having spent some time In con
ditioning camps regulated after the
fashion of army life.
The workers' pay of 930 a month
will start as soon as they are passed
by the physician making the required
examination.
Programs of work for southern
Oregon's "soldiers of the forests" are
being outlined In Medford today In
anticipation of the early enlistment
of men In the federal reforestation
army, Karl Janouch, aaslstant super
visor of the Rogue River National
forest, announced this morning with
map and blue pencil In band aa he
traced the various sections, where
activities will be centered.
The first camp, provided In the
Rogue River forest, under the gov
ernment project will be located on
the Applegate, as It will be the first
country open for work. It will prob
ably be manned as soon as any in
the state, Mr. Jnnouoh stated, with
men on location around May l,
U0 Registered
Registrations at Relief committee
headquarters In the city hall, where
all are being received, totalled 120
today. Men between the ages of 18
and 25 years, unmarried and finan
cially destitute, are being received. -
The number to be taken from here
has not been announced, the relief
committee stated, no restrictions on
the total having been forwarded. AH
men applying, who meet the qualifi
cations, will be signed up until fur
ther orders are received.
Other forest camps will be located,
according to preliminary plans, on
Rogue River. In the Dead Indian dis
trict, oh the Klamath side of the
forest and near the Owen Oregon
Lumber camp No. 2, bringing the
total In this region to five, Mr. Ja
nouch said.
The government program Is calling
for almost every kind of work and
the local forest staff la making ready
to care for the demands of surveying
forest sections, where such work la
needed.
All Funds for Program
Under the national program, all
regular activities of the forest service
have been cut off, through elimina
tion of appropriations to be delegated
to the reforestation fund, Mr. Ja
nouch stated. All energies as well as
money will be directed into the same
channel, utilizing the ranks of un
employed and carrying on the devel
opment needed In the forest for
many years.
In view of recreational develop
ments muoh of the forest army work
will be directed to clearing and
cleaning camps to be used as forest
playgrounds, snag areas will be clear
ed to encourage reproduction of trees,
now stifled by fallen and broken
timbers. Fire hazards wilt also be
destroyed to encourage reproduction
and beautlflca-tlon of forests. Guard
and ranger stations will be con
structed, according to the early
plans, and forest telephone systems
maintained and bettered. Construc
tion of an elaborate system of roads
and trails Is planned as far as hand
labor can be utilized. Clearing of
scenic drives will resemble work car

PEIPING, China. April 17. (AP)
Bombing planes and heavy artillery
went Into action on a largo scale to- 1
day aa Japanese troops sent the en- j
tire Chinese army In the coast re
gion of north China proper fleeing to
the south bank of the Lwau river. ,
It' was the first extensive Japanese
sdvance Into the Pelplng-Tientsin in
ternational treaty area, where there
ore considerable American and. other
foreign Interests. The Lwan river
Is 66 miles southwest of Shanhalkwan
and only 100 miles from Tientsin.
Changlli where an American Metho
dist mlAsion Is situated, and numer
ous other towns to tho north and
northeast, fell In rapid order to the
Japanese and a Manchukuan army.
The Chinese had predicted this
sweep over Pelplng'a route to tho sea
since the fall of Shanhalkwan Janu
ary 3. Their fears were Increased a
month and a half ago when the Japa
nese began seizing all the passes In
the great wall to the north. (Japa
nese placed responsibility on the Chi
nese in advance of the action, de
claring the move would not be made
unless It was "forced" by attacks on
the Japanese lines.)
Japanese airplanes dropped about
100 bombs between one and three
mites from the big seaport of Chin
wangtao early Saturday to begin the
real offensive, It was learned today.
Chlnwaijgtao, 10 miles southwest of
Shanhalkwan, was occupied Saturday.
Alter the nerlnl bombardment, the
Manchukuan troops attacked the Chi

DISPLAY OF SKILL
Congress Beginning to Real
ize Maneuver, But Saying
Nothing Few Republi
cans Loose Cries Anguish
(Cap; righted by MrClure Newspaper
Syndicate)
By Paul Mallnn
WASHINGTON. April 17-President
Roosevelt has put through hLs easy
budget policy without letting any
one know nbout It.
Congress la beginning to realize it
but la saying nothing. A few cries
of anguish are arising from the Re
publican side but no one pays sny;
attention. So skilfully was the
maneuver worked out that the Issue
has never been raised. The policy
has never even been mentioned.
The president has just gone Along,
quietly recommending appropriations
outside the budget. Congress has
gone along authorising them. .-The
aim Is being accomplished without
debate. The budget will show a paper
balance. Respect for government
bonds Is being maintained. No In
crease In taxes will be necessary.
Unquestionably It Is the most bril
liant Inside accomplishment of tho
new administration so far.
The exact amount segregated out
side the budget cannot be told ac
curately. That Is another tribute to
the skill of the move. You can prove
on paper Umt It may be over four
billion. That la not. fair
Much of the amount authorized will
not be spent. But you can fairly say
that out ot 4.700,000.000 potentially
Involved in the i Roosevelt program
only 280,000,000 Is specifically In the '
Those figures Include $3,350,000,000'

edly bestir themselves about It. They
might aa well savo their breath. -

for the thing to be worked out. Also
It is not an unusual subterfuge. The.
French do It . even In the best of

Mr. Roosevelt Is bringing In: Beer

Total $1,170,000,000.
