Comment
on the
Day's Nezvs
By FRANK JENKINS
DID you read this paragraph in the
news of the day:
"The senate tonight pateed Prest
dent Roosevelt's national Industrial
recovery bill which aubetltutea co
operation and long range planning for
America's traditional business phil
osophy of survival of the fittest."
If you didn't, you missed something
TREMENDOUSLY significant.
IN THE past, It has been accepted
as utterly true that "competition
la' the lite of trade." The Sherman
anti-trust law, which for nearly two
generations has governed business,
is based on that principle.
Thia flew Industrial recovery bill,
which the aenate has Just passed,
says, In effect. ' that competition
DESTROYS trade, and proposed to
limit It aharply.'
THE past few months have witness
ed many epochal changea. None,
perhaps, has been more epochal than
this abandonment of the theory that
competition is the life of trade and
the eubstltutlon for It of the theory
that trade must co-operate in order
to prosper.
WHAT does this new industrial re
covery bill hope to accomplish?
It hopes to accomplish MANY things,
but here 1s one of them which will
give you sn Idea of thj rest:
It hopes to elimlnste those destruc
tive forms of competition which make
it harder to raise the standard of
living of Alt the people of this
country.
M
LET us illustrate:
: One employer believes in good
wages, reasonable hours and fair
practices. - Under these policies, his
employees prosper, enjoy a fair
measure of the good things of life.
But his competitor, NOT BELIEV
ING In such things, pays low wagea,
works long hours and drives his em
ployees to the limit.
Thus he cuts his costs to the point
where the employer who believes in
good wages, reasonable hours and lair
practices is driven out of business.
If you are a fairly close student of
business, you have seen that happen
time and again.
HERB la what that kind of com
petition does: It tends to drag
ALL business down to the level of
the LOWEST.
WE HAVE seen thst work out right
here on the Pacific Coast.
Our great lumber industry, ani
mated by motives that are truly fine,
has sought to operate on a. basis of
reasonsble hours snd fair wages. The
Four L movement was an expression
of these motives.
But the lumber Industry of the
South, which competes m the same
markets with our lumber Industry,
has not shared this vision of a bet
ter day. It works long hours and
psys low wages. Its labor, in msny
cases, Is reduced to a condition bor
dering on peonage.
'
THIS new principle of co-operation
in industry, ' which Is embodied
in this industrial recovery bill which
was passed on Fridsy night by the
senate and will undoubtedly become
a law seeks lo limit these destructive
lorms of competition, thus making It
possible to lift all Industry up to the
level of the highest Instead of drag
ging all Industry down to the vel
of the lowest.
tiriLL It work?
V? Thst question can not be sn-
swered as yet. We can only wait and
see. It Is a new idea, and new ideas
have to be tried out.
The Wright brothers, for example
had a new and revolutionary Idea.
Triey believed that a heavler-than-
alr machine could be made to fly
But they didn't KNOW until they
tried it out. . .
It Is the same with this new prln
clp'.e in Industry. We can't know
whether It will work until we give It
a trial.
rUT If It iXJES work, it will bring
LJ about a lot of things we would
all like to see brought about, raising
the averaee standards of living, and
sharing the comforts of life among
many more people.
This writer, for one. hopes fervently
that it worka.

Won't Yield
On Veterans
Aid Payment
WASHINGTON. June 13 (AP)
President Roosevelt threw down the
gauntlet to congress today on the
vet's Issue, sending word he would not
yield from the compromise he made
with the house on payments made
to ex-soldlers.
After a conference between the
president and democratic leaders at
the white house, word spread through
the senate the president would not
give an inch and would veto the
appropriation bill If congress went
further than the compromise to
which he has agreed.
The president's unyielding attitude
was understood to have been express
ed to Vice President Garner, Senator
Robinson, democratic leader, and
Senator Byrne, D., S. C.) In charge
of the independent offices appropria
tion bill carrying the vet or ana' fund.
Leaders were expected to convey
the president's attitude to the senate
when the ' conferees reported back
with their disagreement later today,
and bring a showdown on the issue.

WASHINGTON. June 13. (AP)
The house this afternoon adopted
the comporlmes Glass-Steagall bank
teform-lnaurance deposit bill, send
ing It to the senate where quick ac
ceptance of the conference agreement
also waa expected by the leaders.
That President Roosevelt will ac
cept the revised measure Is being
conceded, In vi-w of the interest he
took in formulation of the compro
mise after weeks of deadlock between
conferees of the two congressional
branches.
Final acceptance of the bill In
such a ready manner was expected
in the house, but the outlook was
uncertain In the senate until midday
at which time proponents of more
changea apparently gave in.
In the extreme effort to get ad
journment last Saturday, friends of
the legislation feared It would be
crowded out but In the several days
since, it waa found possible to get
together In a way to satisfy both
sides of the arguments.
The house vote was 191 to 6 to
accept the conference report.

Quick adjournment plans were al
most swept away today for congress

senate's Insistence that veterans pay
ments be liberalized further.
Llttlo as there was remaining for
the extra session to do,1 the Jam over
this one hard-fought issue waa such
that leaders had given up hope of
getting through by nightfall and
were less sanguine about setting a
definite closing date than they have
been for a week.
Complete deadlock was imminent
as a result of conferences which last
ed far into the night. The senate
had sent the Independent offices ap
propriation bill to conference after
refusal to accept the House -Roosevelt
compromise which Increased veterans
funds considerably but fell far short
of the sums the senate had voted.
The conference ran Into a stone
wall when the house members re
fused to budge from their stand. The
conferees quickly filed down to the
White House and there found Presi

against yielding.

Slated for Court Hearing
Opening argument In the case of
J. Arthur La Dleu. charged with com
plicity in the theft of ballots from
the Jackson county hourthouse, were
started at two o'clock this afternoon
La Dleu did not take the stand at any
tlm? during the trial.
Deputy Sheriff Peter Culver of
Myrtle Point testified for the defense
to the poor reputation of Wilbur and
Burley Sexton, former Coos county
residents, and Mrs. Conners, mother
of C. Jean Conners, a defense wit
ness, took the stand to corrobrate
statements made by her son.
A recess until 1:30 o'clock this
afternoon, was taken by the court
at 10:30 to allow two defense wit
nesses the sheriff and deputy -sheriff
of Coos county, called as character
witnesses, against the Sexton broth'
ers. former residents of Coqutlle, to
testify. It was the first delay of the
trial.
Two defense witnesses, Donald
Tryor, a "Congressman," during the
agitation -fanned days of January and
February and Infrled Holmes, secre
tary to the county court, were called.
Before the fesumptton of the trial,
three persons, who figured more or
less actively In the local turmoil, en
tered pleas of not guilty to minor
charges.
They were Henrietta B. Martin,
president of the'.aelf-ty.ee. iVGood
Government Congress," her father, O.
H. Brown, secretary of the organiza
tion, and L. O. Van Wegan, Indicted

ville editor last February 35. L. B.
Pitch, also asserted aide of Mrs. Mar
tin in her lash attack, waa not pres
ent, but Attorney T. J. Enright enter
ed a plea of not guilty for him.
Donald Tryor, a sufferer from deaf
ness, gave testimony refuting C. Jean
Conners, reputed "bright Green
Spring Mountain boy." vice-president
and "parliamentarian' of the "con
gress." It was necessary for the court
and counsel to speak in a loud voice
so Tryor could hear.
He Did Not Hear
Tryor testified that he did not hear
Wealey McKltrlck, pal of La Dleu on
the ballet disposal trip, propose to
Connera and others that "the ballot
pouches be slit with razor blades,"
en route from the courtroom to the
clerk's vault, on the afternoon of the
court ruling ordering the recount. He
testified that he saw La Dleu around
the courthouse bet-ween two and four
o'clock and saw Suspended-Sheriff
Schermerhorn and Mayor Jones of
Rogue River talking in front of the
sheriff's vault.
Under csoss examination, Tryor
testified, Conners made the ballot
slitting proposition to him and that
he rejected It. Tryor testified he re
fused both offers to participate. Oon
nera in his testimony questioned the
wisdom of the court's recount ruling.
He said the plan, as told by Con
ners was to "chase the two who seis
ed the pouches and fall down in the
doorway, and trip the other pursuers."
The witness confirmed the state
theory thst In the courthouse corri
