Comment

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
YOU heap thlB statement olten
of course, lor your own peace of
jnlnd: "Money la scarce In the com
munity right now?
Why? What haa become of It?
' ND you haye noted, naturally, be
cause you couldn't have avoided
doing so, that bunk deposits, which
represent the accumulated capital ol
the community, are quite Jar down
from the totals of 1928 and 1929?
Again, Just why? Where has the
money gone?
WHY are times good and money
plentiful under certain condi
tions, whereas under certain other
conditions times are hard and money
scarce? What happens to bring all
this about?
These questions, which occur to all
of us, were answered In an unususlly
Blear and Interesting way the other
by an Intelligent buslnes man. An
attempt will be made to reproduce
his explanation.
Tou will find It quite worth while.
MONEY comes into the community
in return for the things we sell
beyond our own boundaries. Money
goes OUT of the oommunlty In re
turn for the things we BUY from be
yond our own boundaries.
The money we spend among our
selves doesn't sffect the total In any
way. It Just passes from hand to
hand.
THE money we receive In this com
munity from beyond our own
borders comes ohtefly from lumber
and sgrlcultural products. Thers are
a few other sources, of course, but
they srs small.
The money we send out of the com
munity goes for a variety of things
clothes, household utensils, farming
Implements, automobiles,, gasoline.
Jewelry, tires, such, foods as we con
sume but do not produce etc. The
Hst Is a long one.
In normal times, the money we
bring In exceeds the money ws send
out. But In the past few years, the
money we send out has exceeded the
money ws bring In.
Hence the amount of money In elr
tnlatlon has declined become scsrcs,
fn other words.
LETS offer a simple Illustration.
Imagine a rain barrel, with
water running In from a spout that
leads from the eavca.and with water
running OUT of the bung. As long
as more water runs In from the spout
than runs out through the bung the
barrel fills up.
But Just as soon as the stream com
ing In from ths spout declines until
It la smaller than the stream running
out through the bung the barrel be
gins to EMPTY.
In normal times with lumber sell
ing st fair prices and In fair vol
ume, and with agricultural products
selling at fair prices snd In fair vol
ume, the stream of money coming
Into this community la larger than
the stream going out.
But In recent years the lumber In
dustry has been slack, with prices
down and demand slow, and while
production of agricultural commodi
ties has held up In reasonably nor
mal volume the price has been scsn
dalously low.
Hence the amount ' of money
brought In by sale of crops has de
clined. Mesnwhile, we have gone on
ending OUT the money for ths com
modities we have to havs but do not
ourselves produce.
The result Is that more water has
run out of the bung than has run
IN through the spout, and so the
barrel U beginning to become empty.
That Is why money Is scarce. That
la why bank deposits have run down.

CASTS NEW LIGHT
ON MURDER TRIAL
Accused -Man Told Police
Captain Third Man Shot
Prescott, Ran From House
Auditor . Tells Threat.
EUGENE, Ore., May 11.
The state rested Its case this
afternoon and Defense Attorney
Lonergan at once moved for the
dismissal of the charges against
Mrs. Banks, on the ground that
absolutely no pertinent evidence
a caln st her had been adduced.
The jury was sent out during the
argument.
EUGENE, Ore., May 11. (AP)
Testimony by a state witness that
Llewellyn A. Banks, 62, on trial lor
the slaying of George Prescott, Med
ford, constable, had denied that he
shot and killed the officer, was of
fered In circuit court here today aa
the state's case neared completion.
Captain Lee Bown of state police,
testified that Banks, former Medford
publisher and orchardlst, told him a
short time after the slaying: "I didn't
kill Prescott. It was a third man
who ran out of the house. When the
time cornea I will reveal his name."
First Revelation
There had been no previous Indica
tion that the slaying of Prescott had
been denied by Banks who with his
wife was indicted for first degree
murder. Prescott waa shot to death
at Banks house when he tried to
serve a warrant on the newspaper
editor.
What notice the defense will take
of thla testimony waa not Indicated.
Banks--attorneys had previously- de
clared they would not attempt to
controvert the atate'a testimony that
Banks shot and killed Prescott, but
would try to show that the defen
dant fired the fatal ahot after he had
been driven to a point of desperation
by persecution at the hands of coun
ty officials.
Letter Ruled Out
TJie Banks statement waa the
highlight of the morning which saw.
several Important clashes between
state and defense. The "Mother to
Daddy" letter waa ruled out by the
court after Mrs. Margery Satterlee,
former Banks secretary, Identified
Mrs. Banks' handwriting. A lengthy
argument followed between counsel
but Judge Sklpworth ruled out the
note on the grounds that no time of
Its writing had been established and
that It did not refer in particular to
the officers.
Edward K. Thomas, auditor for the
state industrial accident commission,
revealed a damaging statement made
by Banks two days before the killing.
Thomas, called to the stand following
the dismissal of Mrs. Satterlee, said
he had called at the Banks home and
asked for payroll papers on the Black
Channel mine, of which Banks waa
president.
Banks Makes Threat
An accident had been reported
there but no formal statement had
been made. "I must have the pay
roll accounts," Thomas said he told
Banks. "If you do not give them to
me for Inspection I will have to get
out a subpoena."
"At this point," said Thomas,
"Banks leaned forward In hie chair
and aald, 'Why G damn you. I
would bust your heart out or any
other man's heart out who came up
to this door.' Banks then made a
motion pantomiming the shooting of
a rifle. I said, 'Surely, Mr. Banks,
you wouldn't be so foolish as to do
that.' Then a woman came In and
I went out."
Surrender Related
Lee Bown, captain of the state po
lice stationed at Medford, was next
called. He told of a telephone call
which informed him of the death of
Prescott, and of a subsequent call
from Mra. Banks asking for Sheriff
Schermerhorn or Deputy Sheriff
Lowd to come for Mr. Banks.
Bown said he explained that both
were out of town and after leaving
the telephone to talk with her hus
band Mrs. Banks returned to aay
that Banks would surrender provided
he would be taken to the Medford
jail.
"I told her I couldn't make prom
ises but after further discussion, she
said that Bants would give himself
up to me. As I left the station,
Lowd drove up and offered to go
along.
Tempted to Shoot Again
"When we got to the door I heard
a bolt open and Mrs. Banka admitted
us. Banks waa lr. the dining room
and we shook hands. He left hla left
hand In his pocket and I aked him
If it was a gun. He said, 'No, If it
was. I might be tempted to us it.'
"Banks then nodded towards the
door and aald, "That man tried to
break into the house. He tried to
force his way past Mra. Banka and I
shot him."
Bown then related the Incidents
attendant upon the trip to Orants
Pass with Banks. Phil Lowd accom
panied them. They discussed the gun

Suit wes filed In Justice court late
yesterday afternoon by Electa Fehl
against Nledermeyor, Inc., for col
lection of (250 rental allegedly due
the Fehls for storage for the Nle
dermeyer printing equipment, w.hich
waa moved from the Pehl building
Tuesday and Wednesday.
The complaint filed by Mrs. Pehl
alleges thafa rental of 50 a month
was reasonable storage of the ma
chinery, and that there had been
an agreement between the Fehls and
Nledermeyera that 260 waa due for
rental.
Hiedermeyer had the printing
equipment stored in the Pehl build
ing since the building was bought
by the Fehl interests at a mortgage
sale.
The suit by Pehl Is construed by
lawyers to mean that Fehl admits
Niedermeyer owns the printing equip
ment. Fehl had a writ of attach

JAPS ULTIMATUM
F
ON GREAT CITIES
Cease Opposition and Break
Away From General Kai
Shek or Tragedy Will Be
fall Peiping Is Told.
PEIPING. May II. (AP) A Japa
nese bombing plane roared over this,
the forbidden city, today and from it
rained handbills warning of war.
Chinese machine gunners opened
fire, but the plane, at a safe height,
completed Its mission and flew away,
"Our army," said the handbills,
"takes pity . on your ignorant sol
diers and delivers thla solemn com
mand:
"Cease opposing the Japanese and
Manchukuana. Break away from
Marshal Chiang Kai-Shek."
If the Chinese fall to heed the
"solemn command,5' the warning said,
then:
Tragedy Awaits
"The tragedy of Kupelkow will oc
cr In. Pelplng and Tientsin."
; The import of that was clear
enough to the two million residents
of this city. There were many cas
ualties at Kupelkow.
The "Marshal Chiang" referred to
la virtual dictator of the Chinese na
tionalist government.
"Fellow Asiatics." waa the salta
tion of the handbills. "Since we all
speak the same language and belong
to the same race," It continued, "we
should live and prosper together.
Why should we slaughter each oth
er? "If Chiang Kai-Shek continues to
be violent and repent his error, it la
feared that tragedy will befall Pel
ping and Tientsin."
v Concern Created
The height at which the plane
new made futile the fire of the ma
chine guns, manned by policemen:
but though Its flight was high and
its only bombardment was of hand
bills, the bomber created much con
cern, not only among the Chinese,
but also among the more than 1200
Americana quartered here.
"You Chinese soldiers," said the
handbills, "are merely being made
sport of by Chiang Kai-Shek, who
uses you to extend his personal power.
"Should t you not separate your
selves from your army at an early
date and become a new people, our
great Japanese -Manchukuan allied
army will advance.
"Your soldiers will be exterminated.
Good and evil alike will come to
harm. You will lose your stupid
heads due to failure of Chiang.
"Will not that be sad?"
Two Great Cities
Pelplng and Tientsin are the great
cities in the north China interna
tional treaty zone. Japanese air
planes dropped bombs during the
day, reports said, on Shlh-Hsla and
Chlhslen, only 40 miles from here;
and yesterday they bombed MIyun,
only 35 miles to the north.
The reference to Kupelkow waa ob
vious. The Chinese fought bitterly
and at the expense of great casual
ties before finally being ejected from
that city the great wall gateway
from Jehol to Pelplng.
With the threat of war dropped on
its doorsteps from the skies, the Chi
nese heard today a request from the
province of Chahar, west of Jehol, for
defense of that region.
A delegation from the province pe
titioned the military council to give
them aid against a Japanese "west
ern expedition" wihtch is reported
driving southward from the province
toward Kalgar.

By ARTHUR PERRY
EUOBNE, liny 10. Expectation that the trial of L. A. Banka and his
wife. Edith Robertlne Banka, charged with first degree murder, would
be completed by next Wednesday was expressed today by Attorney Jos
eph R. Hammersly. one of the big guns of the defense battery of legal
talent. Attorney Hammersly predicts that next Tuesday will bo the final
day. Assistant Attorney-General Ralph E. Moody stated In open court
Tuesday, at adjournment, thst the state would complete Its case Thursday.
Counsel for both sides were busy
all day Wednesday and far Into the

stages of the courtroom drama.

Brumfield, under a death sentence,
committed suicide In state prison
death cell, and cheated the noose.
In the Brumfield case, as in the
present Banks trial, the murder was
admitted.- Brumfield entered a plea
of Insanity, as the Banks defense now
contemplates doing, according to press
reports. Attorneys for Banks were
quoted Wednesday as saying they
would Interpose a temporary insan
ity plea, based on a paranoia angle,
along with other lines of defense.
It is expected that the defense will
attack the methods of the state , po
lice and officials, allege Banks was
