Make It a Fair Trial!
WITH the ' announcement that County Judge Fehl had
secured a change of venue to Klamath county, a caravan
of leaders of the Good Government congress immediately start
ed for Klamath Falls. They are there now, doing what they
did in Lane county, before the trial of L. A. Banks started in
Eugene, spreading their poison, in an effort to prejudice the
people against the "state," and secure-sympathy for the defen
dant, on the ground that he is the persecuted victim of some
mythical "power trust" gang.
Unfortunately there is no way of preventing this sort of
thing, as long as the agitators violate no laws. But it does
place the state at a disadvantage, because the state has no
similar organization, Few residents of Medford, opposed to
Fehl and all his works, will attend this trial, much less campaign
for "law and order" on the streets of Klamath Falls. They
have work to do at home. The defense thus enjoys a distinct
advantage.
aNB feature of the Good Government agitation at Eugene,
however, CAN be prevented, and the proper authorities
should see that it IS.
That is, forcing the tax payers of Jackson county to pay the
hotel and travelling expenses of these "lawless agitators," as
they do everything in their power to besmirch the good name
of Jackson county, and obstruct justice in this state I'
Under the pretext of being defense witnesses, practically all
the shock troops of tha G. G. C, were bundled off to Eugene,
lived there throughout the trial in unaccustomed luxury, and
the -people of Jackson county footed the bill. Some of them
were called as witnesses, but more of them were NOT. ALL of
them worked night and day, in an effort to make the verdict
of guilty finally secured, impossible.
IF a similar effort is made to

certain states to consider the
this matter being definitely settled before 1934.
If those opposed to prohibition, go to the polls on Friday,
Oregon will join the procession

of this state, stand.
The Drys however, are better organised, and ean be better
depended upon to vote, than their opponents. The outcome
therefore will depend largely upon the size of the vote east.
Unless some concerted effort is made to get out the anti-prohibition
vote, Oregon may earn the questionable distinction of
being the first state in the union, to vote against repeal.
TPHE matter of reducing taxes should appeal to those who
think prohibition is doomed anyway, and their votes are
not needed. Their votes ARE needed, at this time.
If repeal is put through before November 8th of this year,
a total of $200,000,000 in federal taxes already levied, will
be recalled and cancelled. This ia nearly 2 per capita for the
entire United States. There will be several millions mora, no
longer needed, in dry enforcement work. In addition, as soon
as a new plan of liquor regulation is decided upon, Uncle Sam
will benefit through the internal revenue department, by several
hundred more millions, a year, in liquor taxes.
The moral question aside, prohibition repeal will unquestion
ably benefit jhe entire country economically and every person
in it.

AKRON, Ohio, July 20. Because
the heavy summer driving season ia
well under way, careful motorists will
be interested in knowing how to
make their tires last longer.
More powerful motors, providing
quicker pickup and Increased speed
cause tires to wear out faster on
present modern automobiles. At &0
miles per hour for Instance the rate
of tread wear la twice' aa fast as at SB
miles per hour. Furthermore, the
demand for low, speedy care has re
quired manufacture to use wheels
with smaller diameters and. natur
ally, the smaller the wheel diameter.
the more times It must revolve to the
mile, according to Goodyear tire en
gineers. In addition, they point out, hot
dry roads cause tires to wear faster
than cool damp highways. For ex
ample, driving on a dry road at tem
peratures around 90 degreea the rate
of tread wear la more than twice as
fast as at SO degrees.
Engineers of The Goodyear Tire fe
Rubber company point out five
things to watch to insure getting the

The Mortgage Racket
To the Editor:
Your statement that laws protect
the criminal might well be made to
include another class of obdurate and
intractable individuals who are large
ly responsible for the world's present
plight. And so let us say: laws pro
tect criminals and the RICH. By
RICH, meaning the richer of the two
parties contending.
Foreclosures of mortgages in our
own community la a glaring example
of this favoritism. According to pre-
depresslon regulations e man pur
chasing a home invested not less than
00 per cent of the value of the prop
erty and secured a loan for not more
than 40 per cent of its value. The
regular payments required reduced
the amount of Indebtedness thereby
Increasing the borrower's equity. Im
provements which most home own
era are constantly making increased
the value of the property.
And the conditions he had no hand
in bringing upon hlmaelf cut off the
income of the home owner. The strug
gled to continue hia payments but the
time curie when he could no longer
pay and the richer man. the money
lender, took the poorer man's major
share of investment in the property
with no tliought of compensating
him for It. The fact that it was done
according to law and that the poorer
man knew of this possibility when he
assumed the loan eases the well-to-do
conscience but It la all so dis
tressingly unfair we wonder tt has
been allowed to go on so long. Per

First Avoid overlnflation, getting
too much air in tires, which makes
the driving wheels bounce and spin
on the road, creating fast tread wear.
Avoid under Inflation, not keeping
enough air in tires, because this
causes scuffed treads and uneven
wear. Check inflations in tires each
week, because at the comparatively
low pressures at which tires are in
flated now, a pound or two makes a
great deal of difference In results.
Second Have car wheels checked
at least twice each year for misalign
ment and other mechanical Irregu
larities, so tires ride the road pro
perly.
' Third Keep brakes In proper ad
justment; avoid sudden stops, slow
down gradually whenever possible,
Fourth Avoid starting the car up
too rapidly and drive at a moderate
rate of speed around turns.
Fifth When you replace your ttrea
with new ones always put In new
tubes too, because the old ones, worn,
stretched and wrinkled will cause

alarming increase has been made by
the flche man taking legal advantage

In our own valley hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of property

the richer man taking legal advantage
spite of all efforts to check It the
foreclosures fostered by existing laws
go merrily on. A foreclosure which
protects the richer man's investment
merely means more dollars for him

poorer mans investment means an

As the smaller Industries are
brought into the setup a new defi

as the ship rights Itself on an even

Then Mr. Roosevelt will step In and
revalue the gold content of the dol
lar so aa to keep the ship at that
level. We will thereupon stabilize
on that basis.
The best expert guess now is that
we will reach this plan for stabiliza

Those jwho are running this eco

their troubles now are over in coal.
At first it was thought the govern

steel business and proclaim a code,
There was considerable doubt higher

back such a move.
There Is no such doubt about coal.
That industry is in such a state of
deterioration that the administra

lic backing in nearly anything they
do.
They will not hesitate to step In
if the coal boys fall to agree at the

It die down when the codes are signed.
Very little trouble la expected from
the smaller Industries. No attention
Is being paid to them. None will be
until the big codes are put into ope
ration. Then they will be handled
in a routine way. Their codes will
follow the outlines now being agreed
on for the major Industries.
There Is one small loophole In the
scheme. It will not bring direct re
sults In increased purchasing power
for six weeks or more. By that time
our Industrial production will have
stored' up huge stocks. The new pur
chasing power will have a hard test
consuming those stocks. Until it does
consume them, production may
slacken.
The new dealers are frightened by
this angle. They point to the steel
Industry. It ia not waiting for Its
code to be ratified before increasing
wages. It is creating purchasing
power now.
The people upstairs' here are con
fident other Industries will do the
ame. Every pressure la being exerted
to make them do so.
That Is why so few tears are shed
because department store, mall order
and cnaln stores sales are now lag
ging. They cannot lag for long with
wages going up.

Ye Poet's Comer
Empty Arms
I wonder my little laddie,
If I've loved you over much
For always my empty arms shall ache
For the sweetness of your touch.
The whip of years have left their
mark
And you have grown worldly wise;
And the hollow fame you covet so
Has dimmed the dream in your eyes.
Strange is a mother's heart dear lad
And strange is a mother's Joy,
When lips can smile at a crumpled
shoe
Eyes mist at a battered toy.
A toy that fell from tired hands
As the sand man wandered through.
And I gathered close the weary form
Of a little boy I knew.
Blanche Logan O'Neal.

SALEM, July 30. (AP) A Marion
county delegation left for Bend and
other central Oregon points today
to seek support for a request of
$250,000 federal road moneys to push

The north Santlam route would
cut almost fiO miles off the traveling
distance from Salem to Bend, as
compared to the McKenzle Pass routa
by way of Eugene. It would also
bring the capital city In closer touch
with Klamath Falls and other cen
tral Oiegon towns.
