Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
EMPLOYERS find on their desks
pledges to be signed and return
ed to the President of the United
flutes. Those who sign these pledges
agree to shorter hours of work and
higher wages.
Shorter hours of work are designed
to provide more Jobs for more people.
Higher wages are designed to create
greater purchasing power.
Greater purchasing power will mean
more business.
THESE pledges are headed by a
note, which reads:
"1. This agreement Is part of a nation-wide
plan to raise wages, create
employment, and thus Increase pur
chasing power and restore business.
That plan depends wholly on united
action by all employers. For this rea
son, I ask you, as anvemployer, to do
your part by signing.
"3. If It turns out that the general
agreement bears unfairly on any
group of employers they can have
that straightened out by presenting
promptly their proposed code of fair
competition."
The note Is signed by Franklin D,
Roosevelt.
Hp HE pledge, you see, constitutes. In
1 effect, a contract with tne presi
dent of the United Ststes. Violators
of the pledges, presumably, may be
deal with Just like any othe'r violator
of a contract.
THE Idea of force, however, Is not
stressed.
The note that is signed by the
President, for example, says plainly:
"The plan depends wholly on UNIT
ED ACTION by all employers. For this
reason. I ASK you. as an employer, to
DO YOUR PART by signing."
That la to ssy, all employer are
invited to Join together freely and
give an honest and sincere trial to a
great new experiment.
rpHAT is exactly what It is a great
1 new experiment. It may work.
It may not work.
But thl la certain: It won't work
unless It Is undertaken by all con
cerned In a spirit of sincere and earn
est co-operation, with the honest de
elre to give It a fair trial and with
the determination to make personal
sacrifice, If necessary, in order to see
that it Is given a fair trial.
IF it does work, we shall all gain
Immensely. The depression will
be routed. Good times will return. A
beginning will have been made to
ward a new order of human relation
ships in which fair dealing will oc
cupy a larger part and narrow self
Interest a smaller part than In the
past.
That would be worth making sscrl'
flees for.
WHEAT, after dropping with a dull
thud last week, rises sharply
on the big market, recovering ap.
proximately half of the losses estl
mated a few days ago.
Why? Thl sentence In the market
news suggests the answer: "Further
report of waning cropa was a lead'
lng factor In the rise."
Supply and demand, you see. with
continued report of decreasing sup
ply, even the big fright of last week
which hit the markets like a cyclone
and scared speculstors stiff. Is not
sufficient to hold prices down.
When there are more buyers than
sellers, prices ALWAYS rise,
f ISTEN to this:
s-i According to the bureau of
agricultural economlca of the depart
ment of agriculture, dairy product
price In June of this year were
thirty per cent higher than In June
of last year.
An Increase of approximately one
third la a pretty fair Increase.
IITHAT brought about auch an In-
TT crease?
The bureau of agricultural eco
nomic says: "Milk production per
cow throughout the country was the
lowest on record, due to poor feed
conditions."
Supply and demand again. When
the supply gee down, the price goes
up.

the Chamber of Commerce, and plana

an organization.
Various matters pertaining to the

cussed and It was definitely decided
to maintain the hours of opening
at 8:00 a. m. and closing at 6:00 p.
m. These hours conform with the
proposed national code covering
beauty parlor ahops.
A large number of shop owners
weTe represented and a committee

present in order to make the hour
agreements representative of all
beauty shops. A committee compos
ed of Mabel Orlgsby. Pearle Chord,
and Virginia Frederick contacted,
during the week, all the shops in
Medford and as a result everyone
has agreed to the terms of the or

This Is one ot the many groups

gratifying to officials of the local
civic organisation to find so ready

Yesterday was a bad day for a Re
publican senator to land In town
With meetings to the rtjht and the
left or him. endorsing the New Deal
of Prlsedlnt Roosevelt. And the' Hon
orable Frederick W. Stelwer had nottv
lng to say for the latter, when he
stepped from the United Airlines
plane, shortly after 3 o'clock, greet
ed by a delegation of good- old Re
publicans (They aren't extinct.)
"The political situation in Wash
ington la much different than It used
to be," the senator declared. And In
answer to questions of. what are they
going to do about this and that, he
replied, "ask Wnlter M. Pierce or Sen
ator Martin."
"And even they might not know,1
he added with his old-time csmpalgn
smile, "there are many surprises in
Washington. They didn't know Mar
shall Dana was going to be appointed
I don't think Dana knew it himself.
The public works committee waa also
a surprise.
Then turning Into a more serious
vein. .Senator Steiwer declared he ex
pected the O. and C. land grant to
turn out all right for southern Ore
gon. "It won t be determined imme
diately." he stated, "action will prob
ably be taken in September.
"Have they collected any processor's
tax on azrlctfltural products hers
yet?" he asked.
His question was answered by sev
eral people, then the Leeglonnalrea
In the delegation, headed by com
mander Lee Oarlock, asked to k now
What's to become of the soldiers'
home at Roseburg?"
"The veterans' bureau doesn't
know," the senator answered, then
added "the veterans may possibly get
Into It, If they call themselves some
thing elae," and his sore apot was re
vealed. "There are so few eligible under the
new ruling," he continued, "It may
not be necessary to open It. Many
totally disabled, however, who used
to remain at home on generous pay-1
menta, have had such severe cuts,
they'll probably have to go to the
hospital for care." I
Such a program, he then admitted
would be less expensive to the gov
ernment, Olln Arnsplger and P. M. Kershaw.
Interested In appropriations to irriga

divided equitsbly and that Oregon
will receive a million or more. Then

Damaging Testimony In
Trial Of County Judge.
MEDFORD, Ore, July 29 MPr
Testimony, damaging to Earl H. Fehl,
Jackson county Judge facing trial In
Klamath Falla on charges of burglary
not In a dwelling, was Introduced
this afternoon when Reverend O. R.
Krlng. formerly a leader In the so-
called good government congress stat-'
ed on the witness stand that Fehl
had discussed the stealing of the bal-.
lota with him about two weeka before
they were taken from the courthouse
vault.
Krlng, a metaphysical teacher, ar
rested last March for criminal ayn-
dlcallsm, stated that Fehl aald to
him February 6: "How would you
like a chance to go down into the
vault, and take out some of the bal
lots?" Fehl had told him "the aafa
la generally open and it will be easy."
The ballots were stolen the night of
February 30 during a meeting of the
"congress."
Wanted No Watchman
County Commissioner R. E. Kealon.
who Fehl'a followera had requested to
resign after his appointment In Jan
uary, testified that Fehl had opposed
the appointment of a night watch
man after the ballot were aolen. He
aald that when county Clerk George
Carter Informed Fehl the ballots were
stolen "by breaking the vault ' win
dow." Fehl leaned back In hls,ohslr
and laughingly said: "Who ever hesrd'
of a sare with windows In It," Nealon
testified.
Nealon said that on the afternoon
before the ballots were stolen group
gathered In the county court and
when he opened the door saw "Jo,
Croft. Arthur LaDleu, Walter Jonee,
Thomas L. Brecheen, L. A. Banks, and
lob of others I didn't know. They
stopped talking when they saw me."
During the cross examination It
was brought out that Fehl and Neal
on had a near fist fight when Fehl
called Nealon "a dirty so and so."
The county Judge and the commis
sioner had an argument, on whether
the vote stealing was an "Inside" or
x "outside Job."
Then Commissioner Nealon teatl
fled, he retorted:
'It's an Inside lob. and we will h
able to s'how you how It happened In
a day or two."

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., July
29. Well the London confer
ence has closed. It just dis
banded, but it ended the day
it started. Ton will hear a lot
of 'em say that it didn't ac
complish anything, but it did.
They stayed in session till every
nation got thoroughly disgust
ed with each other.
There is no better place in
the world to find out the short
comings of ench other than a
conference. Now every delega
tion goes home to tell tales on
the others.
Of course we leave as the
principal villain. We were sup
posed to bring the pie that they
were to cut. When we didn't
bring it the banquet was a total
loss.
Where is the next confer
ence. We just, love to confer.
Yours,
