Comment
on the
Day's News
,- By FRANK JENKINS
BUSINESS houses handling overall,
have received In th paat week
or o notice, of price Increase,
amounting to about 18 per cent.
One such notice conclude, with
this paragraph: "Please confirm ac
ceptance at thle price by June I. or
your order will be automatically
cancelled."
It ha. been a long time since sell
er, have made cocky statement, such
a. that to buyers.
THERE have "been recent advance,
of about 35 per cent In wholesale
prices of shirts of th. dollar grade.
uoh as men have been buying for
the past couple of years.
One seller, notifying buyers of
this increase, writes: "If you want
them at this new figure, let u. know
by RETOTN MAIL."
More evidence of an Impending
sellers' market.
t OHOES of the" 'lower-priced grades
J kJ nave gone up about IS per cent.
This reflects a consldersble rise In
the price of raw hides; which are up
materially. Here Is one case where
the raw material producer Is getting
a break.
The suede Jackets that have been
worn so iten.lv.lyln the
past few years are up about 30 per
cent more response to Increasing
prices of leather.
FURNITURE prices sre rising s
you have noticed from the adver
tisements. Not only that, but fur
niture manufacturers are not holding
out very rosy prospect, of early' de
livery of new orders. They do not
seem to have much stock on hand.
Demand, that Is to ssy, will not
have far to go to catch up -with supply-
w
'St these Increases? Inflation,
presumably. At least tnat is
the conclusion of the corvams ui-sette-Tlmes,
which says:
'The threat of Inflation Is having
th. usual effect. Manufacturers will
not make quotations for future de
liveries. Wholesalers, Jobbers and
retailer, are therefore buying now
where possible to avoid possible fu
ture higher prices. Their customers
an doing the same thing
"Business thus receives an artlfl
elal stimulant. It Is exactly the same
process, though, as taking a whip to
s horse when the wagon sinks In tfie
mud th. whipping doesn't provide
tha horse with any additional muscle,
because a whip is rather poor food."
TRUE enough,
atlll, if you ever happen to have
been stuck in the mud with a heav
ily loaded wagon you know that pour
ing th. bud to the team often .helped
like the mischief in getting out.
Business is stuck In the mud of
depression. The President, quite
frankly, with no effort at conceal
ment of his purpose, Is applying the
whip of inflation to the horses In an
effort to get out of the hole.
All of u are hoping fervently that
he succeeds.

Croft, according to Jail attendants,
reported that ai effort was underway
to reorganize the socalled "Good
Government congress," with new
leaders, dissatisfaction being mani
fested with the present official per
sonnel, of Which Mrs. Henrietta B.
Martin is president, and her father,
C. H. Brown, Is secretary.
One faction wants to place the or
ganization upon a constructive and
sane basis, without any "noise and
fury," it is said.
Banks, now In the hospital at
Eugene awaiting a life term sentence
in state prison, was honorary presi
dent, and with County Judge Fehl
and Mrs. Martin main orators at the
"grand assemblies,, and "convoca
tions." Owing to public aversion and
wholesale withdrawals of members
following the slaying of Constable
Prescott, the organization has only
been spasmodically active, though
some of the leaders have tried vali
antly to keep It alive.
Authorities claim that a close and
thorough check, shows that the
"congress" at Its peak, had less than
1000 members the highest mark be
lng 883. Banks claimed 6000 mem
bers, but research shows this was a
gross exaggeration. Many signed the
cards without a thorough knowledge
of the organization and never at
tended more than one meeting, ac
cording to their own statements.
C. W. (Chuck) Davis, one of the
eight men who entered pleas of
guilty on ballot theft indictments,
yesterday denied vehemently that he
was, or ever had been a member of
the "congress." Davis' claim is sub
stantiated by county officials and
"congressmen," who admit they be
longed. Davis Is detained in the

OF
BEND. Ore., June 3. (AP) Frantic
because she was unable to find her
missing fawn, a mother deer lost her
life In Paulina lake yesterday, al
though she was taken from the Icy
waters three times by anglers.
Chased by coyotes, the doe and
lawn crashed out of the brush and
plunged Into the mountain lake as
amazed fishermen looked on. The
doe headed for deep water, but the
fawn, which had been following
closely, turned and swam toward
shore.
When the doe discovered the fawn
was missing, she began swimming in
wide circles. Anglers saw she was
tiring, and they towed her ashore.
But without resting, the deer pi urged
back Into the lake. Three times the
doe was taken from the water, and
each time she resumed her search
for the fawn.
Before the fishermen could rescue
the frantic animal a fourth time she
sank beneath the surface of the lake.

Against Query of Pecora
On Income Tax Returns
WASHINGTON, June 2. AP)
The- senate Investigation of J. P.
Morgan tte Company was abruptly re
cessed for the week end today after
John W. Davis, counsel for the firm,
protested against a question directed
at Thomas S. Lamont, Junior part
ner, apparently relating to his in
come tax return.
Tho white-haired Davis, former
presidential candidate, leaped to his
feet to object when Ferdinand Pe
cora, aggressive senate committee
counsel, called young Lamont to the
stand and asked him about sales of
stock December 30, 1930.
"This Is not fair play," Davis pro
tested, asserting Lamont had not
been advised he would be questioned
about the stocks.
While Lamont sat quietly at the
table, and his senior partner J, P.
Morgan listened Intently from the
background. Davis and Pecora ar
gued the question.
Chairman Fletcher finally ruled the
question was pertinent.
. Lamont then said he did not rec
ollect about the sales and he was di
rected to look them up over the
week end. ,
Previous testimony before the com
mittee had dlcslosed that the 20 Mor
gan partners had paid a total of $48,
000 Income tax in 1930.
The committee waa taken today
behind the scenes of financial drama
of the chaotic days of late '39, by a
Morgan partner who told how a few
bankers with 1360.000.000 at their
fingers supported the crashing mar
ket. It was a profitable operation, tod.
George Whitney, the Morgan part
ner, testified that, although loss had
been expected, the 1,146,609 'ah a res
purchased were sold at $1 ,067,855
profit, exclusive of Interest.
The massive purchase lasted some
three weeks.
"It ended, as T recall, on November
11." Whitney said.
