witnesses have testified
Beaten To H
Davis testified that Uie "Saturday
following tha ballot theft, I met
Jones In front of the News office, on
slain street, and Jones told me that
If the ballots had not been stolen,
when they were, Tom B recti ten and I
figured on going Into the vaul'. and
getting them."
Davis declared that about 8:15
o'clock, on the night of the vote
stealing he met suspended Sheriff
Sehermerhorn. In front of the Park
Grocery. Neither the atate or de
fense counsel pressed the witness as
to what conversation took place, if
any. Davis aald he returned to tha
courthouse, met Jones, and asked
him, "How Is verythlng going along?"
and Jones replied: "Fine."

had been employed by former Sheriff
Jennings on special work, and was
named last January by Fehl to assist
in taking an Inventory of county
machinery. Hla acquaintance with
Jones was casual, and "for about a
week." Davis said he had been "key

allowed to go home nights, since
June 9, because of his wife's health.
Virgil Edlngton, a native son of
Ssms valley, whose case was dis
missed, testified that after he had
entered a plea of not guilty, he met
Jones and Arthur LaDleu, found
guilty of ballot theft last week, on
th second floor of the court house,
and that It was suggested "they have
nothing on us. If tha three of us
get together and form a line of de
fense, and stick together we can
overrule tha testimony of Wee Mc
Xltrlck on his past record."
Bdlngton testified that Jones and
IjaDleu proposed that ha change at
torneys, and he replied he waa
"satisfied with Kelly and DeSouza,
named by the court. They wanted
me to get Enrlght."
Jones Persistent
Bdlngton testified that later he
again talked to Jones, and the latter
aald, "though I'm an old man, I am
going down fighting and wilt never

they don't care anything about you
amall fry They want the leaders."
Edlngto'n testified under cross-examination
that he waa "guard for
Bnnks" and took orders from Wos

and related his previous testimony,
under dlroct questioning, of taking
six ballot pouches to Jones' home at
Bogue River, and getting pitch, "to
make (he ballots burn better," upon
the defendant's suggestion.

New Home Loan Bill
As Passed by Congress Is
Explained in Full Detail
No. h
In view of tht fact that so many
home owners are requesting informa
tion concerning the Home Owner's
Loan Act of 1033. I am going to out
line the main features of the bill
as passed by congress and signed by
the president last week. I shall at
tempt to Interpret the bill to fit con
ditions right here In Med ford.
There are four terms throughout
this act, which should be properly
defined as follows:
A. The term "board" means the
Federal Home Loan Bank board cre
ated under the Federal Home Loan
Bank act of 1033. This 1s a board of
five In Washington which Is ap
pointed by the president and has
governing power over the 12 district
bank throughout the United States.
One of these Is located in Portland.
B. The term "corporation" means
the new home owners loan corpora
tion which la to be Immediately set
up by this board and shall be an In
strumentality of the United States,
operated under the direction of the
board with whatever regulations It
may prescribe.
O. The term "home mortgage"
means a first mortgage on real estate
upon which there Is located a dwell
ing for not more than four families
used by the owner as a home or held
by him aa his homestead and having
a value not exceeding $20,000. These
mortgages are to be first mortgages,
but the bill la broad enough so that
people having contracts In escrow may
also receive consideration,
D, The term "association" means
a Federal Savings and Loan associa
tion chartered by the board. Such
MAJOR FIGURES IN WORLD TARIFF CONFERENCES
an association will be parallel In th
long term credit field, with s na
tional bank In the short term credit
field.
Before going Into detail of th
Horn Owners' Loan corporation, I
wish to review the Home Loan Bank
bill of 1932, which has repeatedly
been misunderstood. Subsection D
of section a of this act provide for
direct loan to home owners; but
without any provision for funds or
mschlnery to make loans. This sub
section la repealed In the new bill.
There need be no expectancy on the
nsrt of tha home owner of getting
! relief from the home Josn bsnk, aa
ui-h. This bank la now, and alwaya
; was, Intended to be a rediscount bsnk
I ror the Institutions which were mem
' bers of It. These Institutions were
i limited to life Insurance companies,
building and loan associations, and
aavlnga banks. The relationship of
the home losn bank to long tlm
credit agenclea Is Identical with the
relationship of federal reserve bank
to short time credit agenclea. Tha
district bank Is owned by the agenclea
and la operated by them Jointly with
dlrectora appointed by the home loan
hoard at Washington. All district
banks are regulated by the board at
Washington.
In my next letter I will start to
explain the feature of the home
owner's loan corporation which gives
direct relief to tha home owner by
the government.

Business' Sian
The President of the United States fights
valiantly for the recovery of Arocrican busi
ness, the restoration of prosperity and the
consequent el'uninatioa of unemployment,
human misery, and the unhappiness of the
people. To achieve the end business itself
must do its share. Price-cutting and an insane
scramble for volume of sales, often achieved
at a loss, have contributed largely to the
country's unhappy state. Wholesalers can
eliminate price-cutting by refusing to sell ID
price-cutters. They can end senseless com
petition by being satisfied with their normal
share of business imtcsd of seeling to acquire
thebusiness enjoyed by competitors. By these
means prosperity may be made to return more
quickly, to th benefit of ereryone.This Com
pany's gasoline sales policies are aimed toward
inch stabilisation in the oil industrr.
Starting unsurpassed
Here is the AAA report. Read it: "This is to certify that we, the Contest
Board of the American Automobile Association, have conducted a series of tests
on Standard Gasoline, manufactured by Standard Oil Company of California, for
comparative starting efficiency under actual road conditions, in comparison with
six other gasolines considered to be of leading brands. On the basis of these tests,
we find Standard Gasoline is unsurpassed in STARTING.
Each of the seven fuels tested was purchased by our representative in the open
market from regular consumer outlets and was identifiable during the tests by code
name known only to us.
All tests were conducted by us under carefully controlled conditions of operation,
in a 1933 stock model sedan, in accordance with the Rules and policies of the
Contest Board of the American Automobile Association.
This statement is based on data developed by and on file with the AAA Contest
Board."
