Comment
on the
Day's News
By IBANK JENKINS
NOTE culled from the market page:
Kensstlonal reports of extra-
ordinary deterioration of the oats
erop becauao of abnormal tempera
tures brought about a decidedly ac
tive and higher market for all grains
today.
"All deliveries of oats sold at the
highest prices since 1931."
t
A N OTHER culling from the same
page:
"A return of intense heat in the
southwest, with no Indication of
moisture relief, was a late bullish
factor as to wheat.
"Wheat closed strong, li to 3'i
cents above yesterday's finish."
SUPPLY goes down; price goes up.
All the laws congress could pass
In ten years of steady legislating
couldn't change that lundamental
fact.
When there are more buyers
than sellers, the price will rise. When
there are more sellers than buyers,
the price will fall,
THE lumber market, temporarily,
at least, Is strong, orders for the
last week reported by the West Coast
Lumbermen's association being 50
per cent over production.
But, the association comments,
"the present buying movement Is
held by the industry to be by dealers
and wholesalers anticipating price
advances, and not for consumption.
Therefore, it Is speculative."
TRUE enough, probably.
Still, why are dealers and whole
salers stocking up in anticipation of
a rise In prices? What are they go
ing to do with the lumber after they
get It In their yards?
Keep It to look at?
HARDLY. '
Looking at unsrM lumber Isn't
thrilling enough as a pestlms to lead
men to risk money on It.
These dealer and wholesalers ex
pect consumer demand to materialize
later on, and are stocking up now In
order to be ready for it when it
comes.
SPECULATION! Just what is spec
ulation, anyway?
Here Is a fairly accurate answer to
that question: It Is buying low In
the belief that the price will go
higher, so that a sale may be made
at a profit.
Speculation, you see, Isn't neces
sarily wicked. To some extent all
buying and selling, which constitute
business, are speculative.
HERE Is another question: Is spec
ulation good for business, or
bad for It?
Well, as to that there has been
practically NO SPECULATION at all
lor nearly three years, because the
general trend of prices has been
downward, and when people think
the price Is pretty sure to OO DOWN
they don't buy.
You don't, as you very well know,
and you are a fair average ssmple of
humanity. What you do, others do.
LET us repeat:
For nearly three years, there has
been little speculative buying. That
Is to ssy, people haven't been willing
to take a chance.
And business certainly COULDNT
be much worse than It has been dur
ing these three years of little or no
speculstlve buying.
SO. you see. speculstlon isn't neces
, ssilly bsd for business. Within
the proper range of ita functions, It
la GOOD for business, for It repre
sents the Judgment of shrewd buyers
and sellers as to what prices should
be, considering the existing relation
ship of supply and demand.
THIS, however, should be under
stood: What is here said refers only to
the speculation that la LEOITCM-

BALLOT STEALING
Penalty of 2 to 5 Years
Awaits Business Manager
if Convicted 7 Moody Is
Eloquent in Closing Plea
At 3:30 o'clnrk this afternoon
the Jury In the La D leu rase was
still out with no Indications of
an early verdict. ConTlctlon of
the charge of burglary not In a
dwelling brings a sentence In the
state penitentiary of tvfo to five
years.
Selection of a Jury for trlul of
Mayor Jones or Rogue River,
which started at the afternoon
session of court, was continued
with two persons challenged and
a third excused because of work.
Selection of the Jury to decide the
fate of Walter Jones, the mayor of
Rogue River, and second person to go
on trial here for burglary not In
dwelling In connection with the Jack
son county ballot theft, waa under
way this afternoon. . The flet ui
names drawn Included five women.
W. D. Doty, prominent figure as a
speaker at one of the meetings of the
eo-called "Good Government Con
gress" during Its heyday here, was on
the list. He was disqualified by As
sistant Attorney General Ralph' B.
Moody on the grounds that he bad
attended the trial of Arthur La D leu
all week.
Doty, when the Jury was being
drawn for the LaDieu trial, la re
membered as the man who took a
place in the Jury box without hie
name being called. When questioned,
he stated that he thought he heard
his name and readily responded.
The Jury In the trial of J. Arthur
La Dieu, former newspaper business
manager, charged with ballot theft.
received the final instructions of the
court Just before noon and delibera
tions started after lunch..
Judge Skip worth of Eugene, in clear
and concise terms delivered the In
structions, starting at 11:25 o'clock
and finishing at 11:50 o'clock, follow
ing closing argument of Assistant At
torney General Moody for the state.
The court in Its Instructions held
that presence at the scene when the
burglary was committed, was not nec
essary for finding & verdict of guilty.
If It is shown that the defendant took
part in a continuing act of the crime.
One Binds All
The Instructions held that in a con
spiracy, the act and word of another
conspirator bind all, and It was the
duty of the Jury, to determine If a
conspiracy existed, and If the defend
ant. La Dieu, was a party to It.
The ' court held that It waa not
necessary for the state to prove every
material point of a conspiracy, but
by evidence that tended to show It,
and that corroboration of every alle
gation of an accomplice to the crime,
was not necessary by witness not en
gaged in the crime. ,
The state contended that a conspir
acy existed between County Judge
Fehl, Gordon L. flchermerhorn, Walter
J. Jonea. Tom Brecheen and John
Glenn, to steal the ballots, and pre
vent r, recount, and that La Dieu waa
a party to It.
The closing argument for the sta',e
was made by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Ralph E. Moody, and was largely
a reply to the final blasts of Defense
Attorney Enright.
Enrluht HWe Officer .
En right's talk embodied a harangue
against the district attorney's office,
the state ponce, and state witnesses,
the latter being characterized by him
as "Jail-birds and ex-convicts." The
defense counsel made a reference to
the Dahack case. In his argument, also
former Sheriff Jennings.
A personal attack waa directed
against Attorney Moody, which he
answered in one sentence:
"What they say about me I care
not I consider the source."
Attorney Moody showed by docu
mentary evidence that he had been
named by the governor and attorney
general, to make the prosecution.
Both defense counsel referred to
Moody's opening address "as coward,
ly and vicious." and "a personal at
tack on Banks and Fehl." who the
defense counsel faintly painted as
victims of plots. "Look at Deputy
District Attorney Nellson. who has
sat here liks a wooden Indian, and
never let out a peep in this trial."
Attorney Moody, in his reply said
"I also ask you to look over your
deputy district attorney, and then to
look over Mr. Enright."
Victim of Perjury, claim
Enrtght charged that "La Dieu wss
the victim of bought and perjured
testimony." "trumped up evidence."
"Banks' voice has been successfully
stilled and they want to do the same
thing to fehl. ycur duly elected,
qualified, and acting county Judge
I and Oordon Schermerhorn."
J "If La Dieu is sentenced to- the pen
:t w.ll be possible for an honest clti-
i rn to be put away on framed evi

Senate Driving Toward Bal
lot On Substitute Com
promise to Take Care of
Spanish War Pensioners
WASHINGTON, June 14. (AP)
A direct showdown between President
Roosevelt and the senate on vets re
lief waa brought near a climax today
with the formal offering In the sen
ate of a substitute for the revised
house-ad ministration compromise.
Accepting a perfecting amendment
ty Senator Byrnes (D., SC.) to the
hcuse-admlnlstratlon plan, to take
care of Spanish-American war pen
sioners, the senate drove toward a
vote on the substitute and a full teat
of presidential strength.
Senators Stelwer, (R., Ore.) and
Cutting (R-, N. M ) called up for
consideration their substitute, which
la more liberal than the house pro
posal and considered virtually certain
to be vetoed by President Roosevelt
If passed by congress.
Should the substitute be voted
down and the modified compromise
be approved by the senate, the battle
would be over with victory for the
chief executive, as Byrnes has told
the senate the house would accept
'the compromise and that Roosevelt
would sign It. - "
The modification to Include Span
ish American veterans was looked on
as a move by the administration and
its forces to take away from the sub
stitute enough votes to beat lt aa
leadera previously were about ready
to concede Its approval by the senate.
The change made the outcome
more doubtful but advocates of the
Cuttlng-Stelwer proposal remained
confident they had a narrow margin
of -votea to carry It.
An attack on the National Econ
omy league, by Senator Long (D.,
La.) drew from Senator Stelwer a
statement that many of the contrib
utors to that organization were listed
as buyers of the "bargain counter of
ferings" from J. P. Morgan and com
pany In the' senate's recent Investiga
tion. Stelwer named among others, John
W. Davis, Cbarlea E. Mitchell, Silas
H. Strawn, Alfred P. Sloan, B. M.

The msrket will be about as free
