Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
OREGON votes decisively for repeal
of the federal prohibition amend
ment, Joining the 19 tate that al
ready had voted tor repeal.
Nobody la surprised. The outcome
of the election was expected. That
la proved by the small vote.
If there had been doubt, the vote
would have been larger.
OREGON votes also to repeal the
prohibition amendment to her
own constitution, thus going the
whole road. If that had not been
done, we ahould still have had consti
tutional prohibition In Oregon, re
gardless of what happens In the
United States as a whole.
The majority for atate repeal, lncl
" dentally, runs aomewhat higher than
the majority for federal repeal.
The voters knew what they wanted.
They wanted to do away with prohi
bition. THE sales tax, for which a vigorous
campaign was waged, goes down to
defeat, which la not surprising.
It amounted, so far, as large num
bers of voters are concerned, to vot
ing a new tax on themselves In order
to lighten somebody else'i taxes.
Human nature Is human nature.
THE people of Oregon vote against
I the sales tax. At the same time,
by a fairly decisive majority, they
vote against an Issue of $103,000 ot
power fund bonds.
That Is consistent. If we are not
to have new taxes, we mustn't vote
new debta.
INCREASING conservatism as to
public debt la reflected by the vote
on the debt limitation amendment,
which Is close. , Tills - amendment
would have required a two-thirds vote
In order to Issue. bonds.
On the face of figures available aa
these words are written, It will prob
ably lose, but remember that the nor
mal tendency Is to vote no measures
that the voter does not fully under
stand. Yet the total of these no
votes, plus those who voted against
. the amendment because they under
stood 1t and didn't want It, barely ex
ceeda the affirmative vote.
Oregon's total public debt, In, pro
portion to population, is the second
largest In the Union. The voters, ap
parently, are beginning to take note
of that fact as they should.
THE amendment to permit coun
ties to adopt managerial form of
government If they choose Is swsmp
ed. Oregon voters were not In the
mood Friday to try new experiments.
Perhaps they figure that the na
tional government la trying new ex
periments enough to last u for quite
a while.
ipHE grand Jury amendment, per-
mlttlng prosecution by Informs
tlon filed by the district attorney, Is
defeated.
The voters, probably, didn't under'
etand It, and the tendency a sensible
one, Incidentally Is to vote against
what len t understood.
, etHE oleomargerlne tax goes down to
a oeieat ny a neavy majority.
Pocketbook voting again. People
voted agslnat the sales tax because
they didn't want to pay It. They voted
against the oleo tax because they
didn't want to pay It.
THERE was
Irigly light.
light vote exceed'
That raises the old question: Would
the result of the election have been
different If more people had voted?
Probably not. Certainly not If those
who did vote represented a fair cross-
sectlon of public opinion.
It la regrettable when people fall
to exercise their right to vote, which
is a priceless privilege, won by count
less sacrifice!, but It Is likely that
the result of the election would not
have been much different If there had
been a heavy vot Instead of a light
one.
Due to the fact that a number of
the stores In Medford do not close
until six o'clock, announcement waa
made late this afternoon by Manager
H. Halght of the Medford Rogue,
that the game at the fairgrounds

NEW YORK, July 24 (AP
Captain and Mrs. James A. Molll

field from Bridgeport, Conn.,
tonight.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., July 24.
(AP) Refreshed by nine hours' sleep,
Brltaln'a famous flying couple Cap
tain Jim and Amy Johnson Molllson
regarded cheerfully today the craca
up which ended their flight over the
north Atlantic.
Friends aaid they were In good
spirits when they awakened at the
Bridgeport hospital. Tneir neas were
pushed side by side and the air ad
venturera discussed new plans. A
friend, Vernon Stusrt, of New York
city, said they would issue a state
ment soon regarding the future.'
Plane Badly Wrecked.
Their plane "Seafarer." In which
they flew from Pendlne, Wales, plan
ning to start over the ocean again
to Bagdad, and thence back to Eng
land, lay In awampy grass at the rim
of the Bridgeport airport, virtually
a complete wreck from last night's
mishap. Airport officials said only a
few parts could be salvaged.
The Molllsona slept soundly. Dr.
Isaac L. Harshberger, their physician,
aald.
Thev wore new honors as well as
bandages. Jimmy found himself the
first man to fly across the North At
lantic twice from east to west, while
Amy waa the first woman to make
such a flight In a hcavler-than-alr
craft.
Exhaustion Causes Crash.
The British empire's tamous flying
couple In their "greatest gamble,"
crashed last night near the end ot
the first leg of what was to be a tri
angular flight from Wales to New
York, thence to Bagdad and thence
back to England.
Physical exhaustion caused the ac
cident after the Mollisons had flown
hours from Pendlne Sands, Wales,
to within 80 miles of New York. Their
gasoline nearly gone, they tried to
bring the plane down on a runway
at Bridgeport airport, only to have It
shoot Into marshlands and turn over.
I waa so tired I didn't know where
I waa headed," Molllson whispered as
mechanics carried him and his wife

NEW YORK. July 24. () Mr.

for repeal of the 18th amendment

the county voted 2752 yes; 2571 no.
CORVALLIS, Ore., July 24. (AP)
Benton county voted by & margin of

and by a margin of 870 to keep the
remaining Inoperative prohibition

The drya will have not more than five
votea la the state constitutional con
vention which will next month for
mally ratify Oregon's overthrow of
the 18th amendment. Repeallsts will
command 108 votea In this convex
tlon.
Only two Oregon counties voted
dry In Friday's special election. Ben
ton, of which Corvallts la the county
teat, will have two votes In the con
vention, and Linn will have three.
Governor Meier Indicated over the
week end he probably will call the
constlutlonal convention In Salem for
August 14. The ratification la only a
formality. Each, candidate for dele
gates was pledged by the state to
vote In the convention, wet or dry,
as his county voted.
Over the entire state repeal of state
prohibition carried by considerably
more- votes than did federal repeal.
Those who analyzed t,he condition
said thla waa because of the obscure
and confusing wording of the federal
repeal ballot. It waa necessary, In or
der to vote against the 18th amend
ment, to vote for the 21st, or repeal
ing amendment. Many who Intended
to vote for repeal, wasted their vote
by throwing It In with the dry vot
ing strength.
The vote for repeal of the loth
amendment was 133,038 to 70.878.
The state repeal vote was 138,837 to
1.324.. This count Included all or
Oregon's 1.787 precincts except SO
tiny and remote placca with a hand
lul of votes. .
The aales tax vote was 164,730 to
44,844 against the propoael. The pro
posed tax was referred by the legis
lature as a means of lifting tne tax
burden from the shoulders of prop
erty owners. The grange and other
organizations led a successful battle
against its adoption.

Market Too High Before
Drop Now It's Far Too
Low Bears Circulate Ru
mors to Ruin Confidence
Copyright, 1933, By Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON, July 24. Those who
keep a weather eye on the stock mar
ket for President Roosevelt have had
headaches lately.
Before the drop, they were whis
pering that the market waa too high.
wnon it lurneo on them, they be
gan alnglng that It waa too low. One
expert compared the situation with
what happened In a small southern
town during a recent drought. A col
ored church congregation assembled
to pray for ra!n. Their prayera were
soon answered. Before they could get
home there was a cloudburst that wet
them to the skin.
That waa on Wednesday. It n.
tlnued to rain heavily until Sunday
wnen ine congregation assembled
again. The colored preacher gave
thanks for the blessing of the past
week, but looked from the drenched
congregation out the window at the)
pouring rain and added:
"Howerer: Lord, thla la ridiculous."
The truth sppeared to be that the.
playful urchlnea In Wsll street were
doing a little bear raiding. They cir
culated wild rumora to help their
gome, una waa mat Mr. Roosevelt waa
in or double pneumonia. That one
came at the moment the President
waa lunching with the Italian filers.
Thla Is the customary technique In
bear raiding. The operators circulate
one- dire prophesy after another and
keep them coming so fast that the
truth rarely catches up with the fic
tion, tn the end they fool no one ex
cept themselves.
If there waa anything sensational
ly wrong with the business situation,
the government experts could not
find It.
Late statistics on production and
consumption Indicated that problem
was worse than they expected. But It
waa not alarming. The flguurea mere
ly spurred, the Industrial recovery
crowd Into hastening along with a
sedative the general wage stimula
tion drive.
Certain smart politicians are ar
ranging to have their names mention-
ed as possible successors to Treasury
Secretary Woodln. It puts them In
me umeugnt and does no harm.
The Idea Is that Mr. Roosevelt
might see their namea In print and
arrange for the lightning to strike
them.
