Day's Hews
Br FRANK-JENKINS.
HERE U a. question you are prob
ably aaklng youraelf:
What doea thla Inflation buelaee..
of which the paper, are luU. and
about which everybody la talking,
mean to ME?
"Will it help me, or will It hurt
me?"
IP TOU OWB MONEY. It will help
you.
You borrowed dear money, hard to
get. You can pay your debt wttn
eheeper money, eaaler to get.
So. you aee. you will benefit.
IP ON THE OTHER HAND, you have
Loaned money. It will hurt you.
YoU will have loaned a dollar that
would buy a lot of thing.. You will
get back a dollar that will buy
FEWER THINGS.
That. a you can easily ee,' won't
be o good for you.
SUPPOSE, Juat for example, that you
lend today a dollar that will buy
a perfectly good ehlrt a. a dollar will
do In these day..
wnw aunnoae that by the time your
dollar 1 paid back the price of aljlrts
baa risen, so that It takea ai.ou a uj
a shirt of the same quality.
The dollar you get back, you ee,
won't be worth anywhere near as
much to you as the dollar you loanen.
for money la valuable only because
of the thlnga It will buy.
That Is why Inflation, with conse
quently rising price.. Is good lor
debtors and bad for creditors.
IP YOB WORK for a fixed .alary, In
flation will be bad for you.
Why? Because your salary will stay
the aame. where, the amount of
THINOS you will be abl,.to.buv with
your salary will decrease,
it will work the same way If you
have a fixed Income from bonds, or
other Investments.
THE PARMER. In. all probability,
will benefit more than anybody
1m from inflation.
The farmers of thl country owe
hout ten billion dollars on mort
gage debt. If the yhad to pay that
debt today, with dollara of the present
value. It would come mighty bard,
n.it if thv can nay It later, with
CHEAPER DOLLARS, It will be a lot
easier.
AT THIS POINT, perhaps, this
question srlses In your mind:
"Just what 1. a DEAR dollar, any
way? And what Is a CHEAP dollar?"
A dear dollar Is one for which you
must exchange a lot of things. A
cheap dollar Is one for which you
dont h.ve to exchange to many
thing.
The value of money, you must
understand, depends, altogether on
what you can buy with It.
NOW comes another luestlon prob
ably the most Important of all:
"If you have no Job at all that Is
to .ay. If I am one of the unemployed
what will Inflation do for me?"
Nobody ! aure of the answer tp
that question, but here I. what moat
of us HOPE: It will help you by
creating more Job..'
,
HOW IS THAT? you ask
Well, It works like tbl.: The
number of Job. depend, on the num
ber of thlnga that can be produced
and SOLD. Rising price, cause people
to buy by giving them more to spend.
If the farmers, for example, get
more money for their grain and llve-
atock and fruit and vegetable., tney
will buy more lumber to build more
houses and barn..
Buying more lumber will start more
mills, and aa the mills start they will
provide more payroll. nd a their
employeee begin to apend these psy
roll. for shoes and riilrU and dresse.
nd radio, and automobllea they will
.tart more of the factorle. th.t pro
duce these thing., which, in turn,
will provide more Job..
And so on.
NOW HERE Is another curious
thing:
When price are rising, people buy
RIGHT NOW. When prices are falling,
buyers wait.
Tou see a suit In a window, priced
at H.75. If you think the price la.
going to go up. you will say to your
self: "I'd better buy todsy, fir if I
dont I may have to pay more."
But If you think the price will go

Chamber of Commerce Jaunt
. Enjoys Perfect Day Pro
gram of Snow Sport
Proves Vast Possibilities
Ideal weather conditions, unchal
lenged scenic beauty and crowds of
record breaking proportion yester
day greeted the official opening of
Crater Lake National Park for the
1933 travel season. A nogram of
carefully planned entertainment and
snow sports were Important among
attractions to encourage 'visitors to
spend the entire day in the park, In
addition to Inspiring views of the
lake In Its winter garb.
Official records reveal the presence
of 1566 visitors in the park, arriving
in 354 cars. Of this total, 969 people
are credited to the west or Medford
entrance and the remainder to the
south or Klamath entrance. The bulk
of the local and Jackson county
travel arrived by caravan, as the re
sult of concerted efforts of the Med
ford chamber of commerce and the
cooperation of other organizations
and business' concerns.
Snow Deep
Despite snow depths running as
high as 20 feet, winter long snow re
moval efforts provided motorists with
comfortable driving over ft 16-foot
wide highway, entirely free of slip
pery surface. A large parking area
at the rim furnished space for many
cars but due to widespread interest
In the day's events, the space was
filled In a short time, necessitating
controlled parking on the highway.
Indicative of the possibilities of
spring snow sport within the park,
akl races and ski Jumping held undi
vided attention during the afternoon.
Of especial Interest was ski-Jumping
off the slopes of Garfield peak near
Government Camp; over a-new-iump,
constructed by the Crater Lake 6kl
club. Through the cooperation of
that club, the Bend Sky liners and
Mt. Shasta Snowmen, many success
ful and graceful leaps were made,
nearly reaching 100 feet.
However, due to spring thaw, the
snow was not In the best condition
for long Jumps. If the sliding surface
bad been somewhat harder, Jumps In
excess of 200. feet could have been
made.
Promising ability of Medford Skiers
was shown in ski race events held at
the rim under the direction of ft
chamber of commerce committee. A
men's race oi one-half mile was won
by a local attorney, Frank Van Dyke,
followed in second place by Harold
Larson and In third by Harold Woods.
; Other entrant who gave the lenders
a hard race Included Roland Hub
bard, George Henselman, Glenn Fa-
brick, Cheater Hubbard, Ernest Con
rad and Ralph Green.
A boys' quarter mile race was
taken by Cecil Drew, Klamsth Falls;
followed by Leonard Klein, Medford,
second, and Lloyd Dreww Klamath
Falls, third. Roger Henselman, Ted
Lindley, Ed Valller and Jack Woods
were among Medford boys taking
part. A girls' race, attracting a lim
ited number of entrants, was wqn by
Miss Erm& Butler of Klamath Agency.
Second place was awarded to Mtsa
Raygene Nelson, also of Klamath
Agency.

A novel event, a tug of war on ski Is
resulted In victory for the Mt. Shasta
Snowmen from a group of Medford
and Jackson county skiers, providing
much merriment for spectators. A
skilled demonstration of ski artistry
was made by Jaime Carlberg of the

lally adept with the "kick turn," a
