Comment
on the
Day's News
By FBANK JENKINS.
AS THESE words are written, the
lumber industry's code of fair
competition hu not been approved,
although It approval la momenta
rily expected and may be received by
the time these words are read.
It 1 eagerly awaited throughout all
the lumber districts.
THERE has been much delay in the
adoption of the lumber code,
which waa among the first to be
undertaken. The reasons for thla de
lay ought to be understood, especially
here In the Pacific Northwest.
The South has been the fig factor
In the delay. The Southern pine lum
ber industry, along with practically
ill other Industries In the South, has
lwaye paid low wages, and wants to
go on doing bo.
Tf. wanta the advantage of low
wages In competition with the pine
and fir of the Pacific Northwest..
THE LUMBER code, as finally aub
mltted to General Johnson, pro
vided a wage of 334 centa an hour
In -.the Southern pine district, and a
wage of 43'4 cent an hour In the
pine and fir districts of the Pacific
Northwest.
Oeneral Johnson, It has been re
ported, regards the 4214 ct WB.
as proposed for the Pacific Northwest,
as fair, but considers the Southern
scale of 23 "4 cents as much too low.
It la understood that this contro
versy la what has been holding up
approval of the code.
THE MINIMUM scale of 434 cents
an hour proposed by the pine and
llr lumber Industry of the Northwest
la the highest minimum scale so far
proposed by any of the major Indus
tries. The steel Industry, for example,
haa proposed In Its code a minimum
wage of 40 cents, the electrical In
dustry a minimum of 38 centa and
the shipyards a minimum of 40 centa.
It will be a source of pride to all of
us to know that our own great lum
ber Industry of the Paclflo North
west has taken this position of lead
ership In the higher wage movement.
THE SOUTH, of course, wanta the
advantage of low wagea In com
petition with the lumber Industry of
the Pacific Coast this In spite of the
fact that It already enjoys a consider
able advantage In the way of lower
freight rates, due to being closer to
the great consuming markets.
It has fought determinedly for a
lower wage even than that named in
the code as originally presented, al
though the Southern minimum wage
scale as finally agreed on In the code
waa only a little better than HALF
the scale proposed for the Northwest
THE LATEST reports Indicate, that
there has been extensive revision
cf the code, but what this revision
mounts to is not known as these
words are written.
Neither Is it known when It will
be approved, although approval Is
expected ehortly.
WHEN the lumber code Is finally
T approved. It Is to be hoped that
It la accepted promptly by all the
rious elements of the lumber Uv
dustry.
It represents the best thought avail
able on the subjects of wagea and fair
competition. Ite minimum wage scale
as applied to the pine and fir districts
of the Northwest, is exceedingly fair
Jn comparison with other lndustrlea.
It will have back of It ALL the au
thority of the government, whose
principal purpose Is to get Industry
going and so provide employment.
THE LUMBER Industry, due to con
ditions over which It haa had no
control, haa been in a bad way for
more than three years, and aa a re
sult the lumber districts have auf-.
fered severely.
It Is hoped that the new code will
remedy many. If not most of these
evils, thus making possible continued
operation with all that means in the
way of new Jobs and added pros
perity. TRUCK FEE RESTRAINED

fense attorneys,
KLAMATH FALLS, Aug. 3. (AP) I
Mrs. Edith R. Patton, secretary of the
grand Jury for Jackson county for
the October term of court, testified
this morning, as a defense witness.
In the trial of Earl H. Fehl, county
Judge, charged with ballot theft con
spiracy.
Mra. Patton testified that the
grand Jury requested Fehl to address
the "Good Government congress" on
the night of the ballot robbery. The
witness said that complaints had
come to the grand Jury that membera
of the congress were "unruly" and.
that speakers had Indulged In In
flammatory remarks against county
officials and the circuit court Judge.
Loiterers Abound
Mrs. Patton further testified that
the courthouse corridors were daily
clogged with loiterers but her mem
ory was hazy on whether or not the
grand Jury had ordered the posting
of "no loafing" signs to relieve the
congestion.
The court sustained the defense
objection to the atate query whether
the grand Jury had ordered a. sten
ographer to make a report to them
of a speech made by Fehl at a "con
gresa" meeting held In Medford arm
ory two days before the vote stealing.
8. P. McDonald, laborer, testified
that he signed a membership card.
and turned tt over to Fehl In hla
office. The defense contends that
Fehl waa not a member. McDonald
testified that on the night of the
ballot robbery he stood outside the
auditorium, and heard the comment
by Leonard Hall, Jacksonville Miner
editor: "I wonder what they are up
to tonight
, McDonald said he had first been
called as a atate witness but was dis
missed. Edgar L. Bryan. Medford,' testified
that he also was an outside spectator
and saw Febl In front of the court
house about 10 o'clock.
Impeachment Hinted
The atate laid the grounds for the
Impeachment of Bryan. He was ask
ed tf he had not told the Rev. E. L.
Malkemus. that night, "he was not ,
going around the southweit corner, !
and get beat up."
Bryan also denied that he had told
Jailer Fred W. Kelly Tuesday, that
he had been asked to be a witness
for Oliver Martin, a co-defendant,
and had replied "No, because I will
have to tell all I know about Martin's
activities that night."
John Glenn of Ashland, former
county. Jailer, acquitted of a ballot
theft charge, testified that he was
In Fehl's office, discussing loan mat
ters between 8:45 and 9:45 on the
night of the robbery.
Walter J. Jones of Rogue River,
convicted of ballot theft testified
corroboratlvely of the Banks bond
meeting In Fehl's office on the eve
ning of the robbery, and ihat after
supper at the Fehl home, he had re
turned with him to the courthouse
about eight o'clock.
w. E. Pennl, who said he waa one
of the "Banks guards" for two daya
testified that on the afternoon of the
robbery, he met Virgil Ed I ng ton near
the courthouse front door, and Ed
Ington had a canvas bag under his
arm. Pennl said he asked Ed Inn ton
what he was doing, and Edlngton
replied: "I am going to get some bal
lots, don't you want to come along?"
The witness aald he refused.
Met McKltrlck
Pennl testified that a few minutes
later he met Wesley McKltrlck, on
the basement floor near the ballot
vault, and McKltrlck asked him "to
hold .open the door when we take a
gentleman out." pennl said he
sgreed to this proposition.
The state contends It was the orig
inal plan to steal the ballots from
the Sexton broth era and Janitor while
they were being carried from the
courtroom to the vault.
May Powell, Talent, one of the de
fense witnesses for L. A. Bsnks In the
EuR-ene trial, testified ihe had at
tended the "congress" snd did not
hear any criticism by Fehl of the
recount decision.
The defense now expects to close

FAIR BARTLETT
E SCHEDULE
NEAR IS BELIEF
Advlces received from Senator Chae.
L. McNary today. Indicate that the
government la taking active steps to
set fair minimum Bartlett pear prices
for the entire Paclflo coant.
According to the wlrea received
from Senator McNary the .California
canned peach hearing la expected to
be concluded today. Immediately fol
lowing thla and probably not later
than tomorrow, action win be taken
upon Bartlett peara.
It Is expected that price levela will
be aet based on the comparatlvi
value of the different districts and
that Medford'a price may be named
at $38 for No. I pears, 3 Inches and
larger. It la only through the untir
ing efforta of Senator McNary, ac
cording to Paul Scherer, president of
the Northwest Fruit Industries, Int..
that the ordinary red tape and rou
tine procedure haa been set aside.
It ahould be clearly understood that
thta action ahowa the greateet con
sideration for this district and the
Pacific northwest. Further telegrams
received today from Washington In
dicate that the agricultural adjust
ment administration Is working day
and night. They are ably assisted
by Dr. Wm. A. Schoenfeld. dean and
director of the Oregon State College,
who was called to Washington at the
request of the department of agricul
ture for the purpose of expediting an
agreement. '
Wlrea moved forward from local
growers, ahlppera and business men,
urging an emergency hearing In Port
land, Ore., at the earliest possible op
portunity. It Is thought that very
promptly after thla hearing, which
may be within a week'a time, that
Northwest Frtlt Industries. Inc., will
be prepsred to exercise definite con
trol as to marketing and minimum
prices of the northwest tree fruit
crops.
The Portland office la now open,
the commodity commltteea ara or
ganized, the exchange of market In
formation 1 established and all ma
chinery Is resdy for functioning Im
mediately upon final approval of the
Secretary of Agriculture.
A meeting of ahlppera held yester
dsy afternoon unanimously endorsed
the president's re-employment agree
ment. The prompt conclusion of the
hearing and approval of the code will
enable operation to become effective,
perhaps prior to the bulk movement
of Bartlett peara to the east and cer
tainly in time to handle the Bosc va
riety.

1. War Lord Bill Murray hu
called us Oklahomans to arms
again. Most gtatea use their
national guard for parading
purposes, but Bill will call his
out just like you ring for ice
water.
There is a river between
Oklahoma and Texas. Bill
owns half of it and Ma Fergu
son owns half. If they want
to build a bridge let 'em build
to the middle and turn around
and go back. If they want a
dnm let 'em dam their half and
let our half alone.
So I guess the next time you
hear of me I will be standing
in water up to my ankles right
in the middle of Bed river,
with an old squirrel rifle aimed
right at that giant octopus,
Texas, and if Bill says shoot
I will shoot, We will show 'cm
they can't monkey with our
half of. the river.
