Legalized dog racing is now a Port land pastime and was officially opened by the presence of the gover nor and other state dignitaries, and open display of silver whiskey flasks. A greyhound chases an electrlo Jack rsbblt around a circular track, and the public loses Its money betting on the wrong greyhound to finish first. Dog racing has long been prevalent In these parts, unaccompanied by any gambling. All the country dogs try to beat the autos that pass their master's house to the paved highway. After 17 Jumps and 400 yelps the winded canine slinks back to his front porch and waits for another test of hi speed against gasoline.

Acceptance of cash from J.

Mainly THETIS Morgan investigation serious and perfectly legitimate purpose behind it, namely to reform private banking methods in this country, particularly regarding domestio financial control and the floating of foreign securities, but that purpose,, will of, in the political dust-storm In the popular mind the House of Morgan is a synonym for Wall Street control and unscrupulous financial manipulation. Any man in publio life revealed inevitably have the rabble rousers on his trail,1 and from the standpoint of practical politics Kev. Bob Shuler has already a fire under Senator MoAdoo, tion. He claims Morgan bought the seat for McAdoo, and has that Alleghany stock, sold to California's junior senator, at less than market price, as evidence. CF COURSE Morgan DIDN'T DIDN'T put him on the political favors, direct or implied. But the people of California as a wliole, won't believe it, and no matter how vehemently William O. insists, and points to the farit that instead of making money by the deal he lost it, he This is politics. Not what is be made to BELIEVE, is the indoor sport. It will be the same with Secretary Woodin, Norman Davis, ambassador-at-large, and any other members of the president's official family, who were in on this Alleghany deal, or" any other Morgan deal. They will They will all be put on the defensive and have to explain why they accepted any favors from OOME good may come out there' may be banking reforms, national and international, whioh will be of benefit to this But unless all signs fail they will be lost sight of, in the political hulabaloo, aroused, the creased when the next national The House of Morgan is prestige abroad, but certain" prominent men in publio life are going to suffer more. When it is all over the House ness at the old Btand, but quite holdors, new and old, won't be. Was Morgan IF MORGAN wasn't looking for political favors, why did he put men like MoAdoo, Woodin, Davis, General Pershing, Newton Baker and Calvin Coolidge on his favored list T In the first place when this those men with the exception There was no reason to expect Nor were they the only ones only ones to get in the news., There was a large list, individuals in publio and private life, BUT ALL the names on that list had TWO THINGS in common : Cash to invest they were all wealthy or very well-to-do and Influonee, prestige, A ND that is what the House of Morgan wanted cssh. Mor- gan had agreed, through the Alleghany corporation, to refinance the Van Sweringen properties.' For this his bank re ceived a nice fat fee, but it also had to buy $25,000,000 worth of stock, and in two weolts time, fork over the money. What would any banker or individual do under the oir oumstancest Handle all the $25,000,000 himself ! No, he would try to .get the publio in on it pass some of that $25,000,000 around. , This is precisely what Morgan did. He sold as much stock as possible to people of money and influence, knowing that the money would help, and the influence (with their friends in get ting added money) would help even more. To have unloaded this $25,000,000 on the open market in two weeks, would have been fatal. It couldn't be done. So he wrote to his friends and people he knew had money, and asked them if they didn't want to get in on the ground floor. They DID, to the tune of $8,000,000 in cash. The Morgans handled the $17,000,000 balance themselves. TPHAT'S all there was to it, as we see it. There was nothing dishonest or orookod or even improper about it. Had there been, men like Newton D. Baker, Calvin Coolidge, or Gonernl Pershing would nover have been approached, But there WAS political dynamite in it, if The facts were ever divulged. The faots have been divulged. J. P. Morgan isn't running for office, and doesn't care what Rev. Bob Shuler, or Hon. Huey Long, or even Oregon's Walter Pierce may think of him. But the MeAdoos, and Woodina, and Davises and Bakers DO. So that is why the redoubtable J. P. still smiles. And why the men in publio life, and directly or indirectly in politics, who were on his favored list DON'T I Editors in Comment on Verdict in Banks Case Abuses In Criminal Trials While the Jury's verdict In the I. A. Banks trial at Eugene was generally satisfactory to those who wanted Justice done, some of the incidents of the trial bared serious flaws In our criminal procedure. For Instance, frank appeals to prejudice and hate were Indulged in by attorneys for the defense with no other possible purpose than to pull the Jury away from the facts of the case. VllnfKilion of certain Med ford people who had nothing to do with the murder was permitted with out restraint That It failed to be fuddle the Jury does not alter the fact that It might have dona so. In many similar cases It has warped verdicts far out of line with what the evidence called for. Testimony in any criminal action ought to be limited to the actual Issues Involved, Rabble rousing tac tics by attorneys certainly have no plaoe In a court room.

One of our customers complains: I don't understand why you say one must be examined by a physi cian and follow hla advice about taking lodln for . . I have been taking your lo dln Ration for a year and I notice my hair stopped turn ing gray and 1 certainly feel like a differ ent person. I suggest the lodln ration for everybody, man. woman or child, lodln Is food, and as a food It Is essential for health. Any man, woman or child who does not get an adequate ration of lodln, in one way or another, Is bound to suffer In health. When I send Instructions for tak ing an lodln Ration, on receipt of your request accompanied with i stamped envelope bearing your cor rect address, I give explicit directions for taking lodln as a food. When you have been on the ration for a while and believe you are de riving benefit from It and then begin wondering whether more lodln wouldn't do more good or maybe cure your Jitters or your rheumatlz or something and decide to squander an other dime writing to get my o. k. on your experiment, I tell you here that you have come to the wrong shop. This is not a long distance medical clinic. Everybody needs a certain quantity of phosphorus and lime dally, in one form or another. Milk, eggs and -veg etables .contain the best forms of these food elements. But anybody who contemplates taking phosphorus or lime as a medicine would be wise to leave the question of the 'dosage to the Judgment of his own physician. Certainly no physician who has not examined the Individual patient can tell whether such medicine Is needed or if It 1s, how much or what form would be advisable for the particular case. From time to time I have mention ed here some of the benefits I be lieve many persons derive from the lodln Ration. I feel like a blooming quack every time I refer to the sub Joct, for no matter how meticulous 1 am to say that It tends to PREVENT something or other, a lot of the cus tomers rush right down to the post-: Jacksonville JACKSONVILLE, May 39 (Spl.)

Rangers report the bears have been breaking the windows of buudtngs, climbing inside and helping them selves to anything edible. office for a stamp to writ and tell me to send on the prescription I of fer for the cure of the condition. Here Is what I b el love the lodln Ra tion does for many persons: In chil dren It prevents simple goitre; In girls in their 'teens It prevents moplness, physical and mental lassitude; in per sons of mature age It prevents going stale, premature graying of the hair, loss of pep, the blues, premature hardening of the arteries. I believe persons with goitre any kind of goitre may and should have their lodln Ration the same as others. I doubt that the use of Iodised Salt for all household and table pur poses In place of ordinary salt pro vldes sufficient lodln for the needs or the body. But since It costs she same as ordinary salt, I prefer to use it exclusively tn my own home. Foods containing lodln art listed in the. monograph any correspondent may have if he or she asks for In structions for taking an lodln Ration, and Incloses a stamped envelope bear ing the correct address.

Biggest Coffee Customer, Will Assuage Thirst With Brew From Hops Instead of Berry By PAUL SANDERS. RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) What ever beer's return means to the United States, It has put another wrinkle In Brazil's 'brow. It Is taken for granted here that beer's comeback there will cause a slight reduction In coffee consump tion because the American takes his coffee with his meal rather than after It, and he Isn't likely to drink beer and coffee at the same time. Any reduction in American coffee consumption will be felt, because the United States is the biggest customer. The coffee problem causes as many nightmares as ever. Huge Surplus In Sight. World production for the next crop year Is estimated at more than 13. 000,000 sacks above world consump tion. Since Brazil, the largest pro ducer, holds the bag for most of the excess stocks, 13,000,000 sacks plied on top of 31,000,000 on hand at the beginning of 1932 means an ex cess load of about 4,500.000.000 pounds. The newspaper A Nacao goes so far as to say that Brazilian coffee is in danger of suffering a collapse simi lar to that which sucked dry the rich Brazilian rubber trade 30 years ago. Overproduction, Increased compe tition from other producers, .and val orization schemes which served only to burden Brazilian coffee and en courage rival producers, are held re sponsible. Mortgage Problem Acute. Coffee growers, like American farm ers, acquired heavy financial burdens In boom years and are in serious dif ficulties. The government has pre pared a decree to ease mortgage pay ments over a 10-year period. But the coffee growers, unlike the American wheat raisers, are burdened with stifling export taxes, necessary to finance government control and pay off coffee loans amounting to 9150,000,000. As a result Brazil has been unable to undersell competition sufficiently to force reduction of foreign produc tion and at the same time pay grow ers a fair return. A suggestion for suspension of the coffee loan service, so as to permit' Brazil to drive Its competitors back to pre-war footing, has been advanced but such a drastic step has not been considered by the government. BALLOT STEALING CASES EXPECTED T (Continued rrom Page One) Banks, now awaiting removal to the state penitentiary. Constable George J. Prescott went to the Banks home on the morning of March 18 to serve a bench warrant on the Indictment. Prescott was shot and killed. Sidelights developed by the testi mony at the murder trial revealed that E. A. Fleming. Jacksonville or chardtst, had called at the Banks home to discuss the raising of a "Good Government Congress defense fund," and that Banks was advised of grand Jury leaks, regarding Indict ments and complaints against his agi tation. Fleming was also Indicted on the ballot theft charge, and was an Important state witness at the ttial. Fchl Indicted. Others indicted included County Judge E. H. Fehl, who disappeared the morning of the murder, and admitted In the Eugene trial that he was hid ing In his attorney's room In the Hotel Holland; Walter Jones, mayor, of Rogue River, suspended Sheriff Gordon L. Schermerhorn, John Glenn of Ashland, former county Jailer, and Arthur La Dleu, former business man ager of Banks' paper. All the above are at liberty cn $7500 bonds, with the exception of Fehl, whose security was placed at $15,000. Eight of the Indicted men made pleas of guilty. The state claims It has a "perfect picture" of the crime, from its inception to conclusion, ana that many of tta witnesses were local citizens who stood outolde the court house auditorium, that chill February night, and watched the "goings-on." Those who have entered guilty pleas Include Wesley McKlttrlck, "Banks guard," and frequent caller at Banks' home, he has testified; Charles W.
