Temperature: Highest yesterday 84 Lowest thli morning , ,, b4 nn M Comment on the Day's News L Gold Bloc Countries Move to Desert Meet FATE OF GLENN By FRANK JENKINS HEHK Is a significant aentence from one of Prealdent ' Roose velt'i speeches significant becauae It gives us an understanding of what tie means by the "new deal" that ha promised : "Tho administration has the def inite objective of raising commodity prices to auch an extent that those who have borrowed money will, on the average, bt able to repay that money in the aame kind of dollar which they borrowed." WHAT does that mean? for an answer to that question, let us go back to an example that baa Been cited often In this column that of a wheat farmer who bor rowed a thousand dollars when wheat waa selling at a dollar a bushel. He borrowed then, you see. the equiva lent of a thousand bushele of wheat. If, when hla note came due, wheat waa selling at, only thirty-three and a thirii centa a bushel, it will be evl- dent that he .had to pay back THREE THOUSAND bushels of wheat, or three t'mea as much aa ne borrowed. THR president, objective, It la thus apparent, la to bring back the price of wheat to the point where the wheat farmer, when hla note cornea due, will have to pay back only aa much as be borrowed. TAia-.'e fair, Isn't It? SO much for the farmer. But, you ask, how about the man who works lor wages? Suppose, two or three years ago, you were getting 4 a day and that you borrowed a thousand dollars, You rould then have borrowed the equivalent of 350 days work But, by the time your not came due, a.ippose your wages had fallen to only a a day. In that event, you would have to pay back the equiva lent .if FIVE HUNDRED days work, or twice aa much as you borrowed. APART of thepresidents objec tive, which is Included In the Dew deal he promised, la to bring back wages to the point where the working man who borrowed so many days work will have to pay back only aa many days aa he borrowed. That also la fair. Isn't It? WA. Gates,-of' Medford, one of Southern Oregon's moat ac tive cltisena, has a wide range of Interesta He la a groceryman on a fairly big scale.

Now ne is finding time to interest himself in the mysterious writings on the Peninsula, down In 'the Tule lake country in northern California. MR. GATES practically everybody m Southern Oregon cslla him Bill is convinced that these writ ings art, Aztec In their origin. That la to say. they were made by the aame people who built the early civ ilization In Mexico that was destroyed by Co. tel. Many of the symbols to be found on the Peninsula, Bill says, are clearly recognizable aa Aztec symbols Incidentally, he says, he finds one meaning: "Big pot of heated matter without flame," or something like that. He thinks this refers to Crater Lake. TVD the Aztecs wsnder this far north assuming, that la. that this tneory Is correct? Mr. Ostes thlnka not. He thinks they mere made while these peoples were -n their slow way TOWARD Mexlcj. after having crossed over to this continent from Aula by way of the Aleutian islands. And be thlnka the Peninsula was a religious gath ring place a place of ceremonial and 'liual. W HO did make these writing, sny- .ay? la Mr Ostes right?
