Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
4QTOCK Price Move up Briskly:
. wheat Jumps." So reads the
leading headline of the financial page
Monday.
Wheat Jump because the supply la
decreasing in proportion to demand.
Stocks mow up briskly because dab
blers all over the country are buying
In an effort to make back their losses
of previous years.
BUYING of wheat, under existing
conditions, is legitimate specu
lation. The buying of stocks that is
sending prices scooting up Is plain
gambling.
-
IF you read the little table that is
printed dally In this newspaper,
you noted that the average of 00
stocks which It covers stood Tuesday
at 96.4.
At the low point for this year, Jt
stood at 43.0. At the low point of last
year, it stood at 35. x
Average values of these selected
stocks, In other words, have more
than doubled since the low point last
spring, and are up more than two
and a half times over the low point
for 1032.-
IirHOLBSALE prices of all com mod'
lties rose an average of three
and a half per cent In June. Farm
prices, according to the department
of labor index, went up six per cent.
That Is a healthy condition. The
price of wheat the farmer buys has
been too high In relation to the price
of what he sells.
So prices of farm products OUOHT
to go up more rapidly than prices of
other products.
TlE have been hearing a lot about
t rising prices. But listen to this:
At the end or June, the department
of labor Index figure for all wholesale
prices stood at 85. This compares with
100 in 192. That Is to eay, with all
the Increases we have had, prices as
a whole are only 65 per cent of 1936
This will give you some Idea of how
far they had dropped.
A 8 these words are written, Ala
bama and Arkansas are ballot
ing on repeal of the prohibition
amendment. Tennessee will vote
Thursday.
These three states, all In the South,
where fear of the drunken negro af
fects the attitude of voters toward
prohibition, will be more significant
than any states that have yet voted.
If, despite this fear, they go wet,
repeal may be taken aa a foregone
conclusion.
4rvPRESSION Reaching End." So
-rr reads another headline. "Pur
chasing Levels Increase as Wages
Rise," the sub-head adds.
That is the only way purchasing
levels CAN increase. People cant buy
unless they have something to buy
with.
Rising wsges. more than anything
else, will bring the depression to an
end.
"i
THINK," a none-too-optiml&tlc
citizen ssld to this writer the
other day, "I'd hate to be a young
man right now. The young people of
the present day have a tremendous
burden of debt to pay off."
True enough. Still, conz' ierlng re
sources available, la the present bur
den of debt any heavier than the
debt burden that followed the Civil
War?
This writer, for one, doubts It.
THE debts that were incurred dur
1 ing and following the Civil War
were paid, and the country became
immensely prosperous ayatn. The
debts that burden us now will be paid
and we shall again become prosper

From Fairbanks he planned to fly

At Nome, Post Increased his margin
over the Post-Gatty record by 13
minutes, making his lead 30 hours

since he took off from New York was
130 hours and 20 minutes. Post and

PLEA FOR RETRIAL
ON BALLOT THEFT
Gordon L. Schermerhorn, former
sheriff, found guilty of ballot theft
by a circuit court Jury, this morn-1
ing, through hia attorneys, filed a
motion for a new trial based upon
the following main contentions:
Irregularity In the proceedings of
court, Jury, or adverse party, or any
order of the court, or abuse of dis
cretion. .
Misconduct of the Jury.
Insufficiency of the evidence to
Justify the verdict, and that such
verdict is against law. .
Error at law occurring at the trial
and excepted. to by the defendant.
Supporting affidavits attached as
exhibits to the motion, and deposted
snd signed by H. von Schmalz. one
of Schcrmerhorn's counsel, make the
following allegations:
That the Jury waa "drawn in a
wrongful, illegal, highly unfair and
prejudicial manner."
That Sheriff Olmscheid, directed by
the court to draw the Jury panel,
was occupying the office "rightfully
and legally belonging to the defend
ant"; and further contending - that
the Jury panel should have been
drawn from the registered voters' list
Instead of the tax rolls of the county.
The motion also holds that the man
ner of drawing the jury was prejudi
cial to Sohermerhorn, and that the
drawing of the Feb! Jury later from
the voters' list and consequent dis
missal by the court, and the grant
ing of a change of venue to Klamath
county for Fehl, was prejudicial to
Schermerhorn and agatnst his re
ceiving "a fair and Impartial trial."
Jurors E. O. Kaber of Central Point,
Harold Crump of the Applegate, Dr.
W. E. Blake (foreman of the Jury)

NEW DEAL CRISIS
Copyright, 1M3, by Paul Mallon.
WASHINGTON, July 30. The first
internal crisis in the new deal has
been passed. The pulse of those in
charge is returning to normal. There
was a time a few days back when
timid souls near the top feared in
dustry might choose to fight the in
dustrlal recovery program. That all
haa been straightened out. It was
accomplished so casually the public
was not generally aware of the drama
going on backstage,
Tlie turn came when atcel gave In

Now It Is possible to present
fairly clear picture of what, will hap

The administration has been se

but In generalities. You can not pin
them down on wfcat they will do to

strategy. One la that In the past
they have never known what they
would do from one minute to an

purposely vague so they , could alter
It without public einbarraasment.
That strategy will be continued of
