Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
THIS question is anil being asked:
What caused the stock market
slump of a couple of weeks ago. the
severest setback alnce 1020?
In Washington, they're telling the
story that It was caused by a rumor
t that President Roosevelt was serious
ly 111 and might die.
IP the mere rumor of President
Roosevelt's Illness, with the pros
' pect that he might die and his busi
ness recovery program go to pieces. Is
sufficient to frighten people Into
selling stocks Instead of buying them,
thus canslng a crash, it must Indi
cate a lot of confidence both In the
president's leadership and In his pro
gram for business recovery.
HERE are some Interesting figures:
Of 245 cities surveyed In June
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards, 30 per cent report a
more active real estate market than
last year at this time 34 per cent re
port a. less active market and 27 per
cent report that activity Is approxi
mately on last year's level.
The February survey showed 65
per cent of these cities with a mar
ket less active than the year before,
24 per cent stationary and only 11
per cent with Increased activity.
Getting a little better, you see.
RECENT gains in the real estate
market, this survey shows, have
h.-n most general In the east south
central section, which means Indiana
Ohio, etc. There 67 per cent ot
the cities show more activity.
The Pacific, coast comes next with
65 per cent. Strongest pick-up. so
far, seems to be in cities ot between
200.000 and 600,000 population. .
The smaller cities don't appear to
have got Into the swing yet.
BUT, while market activity Is defln.
ltely Increasing, real estate prices
remain at depression levels.
In 78 per cent of the cities report
ing to tho National Association of
Real Estate Boards, prices were lower
in June than a year a;o. In only
3 per cent of the reporting cities was
anv slen of higher prices shown.
' In 19 per cent, prices were reported
etattonary tnat to stationary
er about the lowest possible market.
s71TH P'lc" ' everything else go-
" lng up. why doesn't the price
of veal estate go up?
Well, there are two answers to that
question. One Is that real estate Is
pretty heavily taxed, and Investors
are still afraid of It for that reason.
The other is that there la still no
money available for real estate loans.
The survey here quoted allows that
fact definitely. As yet, there Is aim
ply no money to be had at all with
which to buy real estate or put up
buildings.
WILL real estate prices go up?
Most certainly they will both
larm and city.
If agriculture shows the expected
l:p In profits within the next year or
ro you will se a great rise in farm
land prices, which will be a good
thing If It doesn't go too far and
start a boom.
( A farm land boom Is little less
than a catastrophe. If you don't be
lieve that, ask ANYBODY who went
through the great farm land boom in
Iowa along about 1918.
PRICES of cltyreal estate will be
gin to rise as people realize that
present values are far below present
replacement cost.
As to that, a friend said the other
day to thla writer: "I took the bull
by the home last spring and started
In to build a house. Checking over
prices the other day, I found that my.
materials would now cost me Just
little over 1800 more than they cost
when I bought them."
The house, by the way, will cost
a.-ound $3600 when completed, and It
le a beauty. Already the time when
bargains like that can be had Is past.
1""IME and again this survey of the
National Association of Real Es
tate Boards touches on the question
I of finances.
It closes with this statement: "If
proper real estate financing could be
. had. the market would pick up at
ence. Msny people are seeking
homes, but are unable to finance the
purchase."
That won't last almays.
TWELVE IV1INUTES

J tick son county was found guilty
or ballot theft complicity hy a
Klamath county Jury at 3:flR to-day
after twelve minutes delib
eration. The verdict was reached
on the second bill lot.
JikIrc George F. Bklpworth set
Monday at 1:30 p. m. for sen
tence. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Aug. 4.
(TP) The trial of County Judge Sari
H. Fehl of Jackson county. chrrgeJ
with complicity tn the theft last Feb
ruary of 10,000 ballots from the
courthouse there, was expected to
reach the Jury by 3 p. m. today.
Ten men and two women have heard
the case.
Defense counsel concluded their
final pleas at noon, and Assistant
Attorney-General Ralph E. Moody
was to start his talk at 1:30 p
requiring about one hour. Circuit
Judge George F. Skipworth of Eu
gene said his instructions would re
quire hall an hour.
"Gratitude, I,oalty." 0
In the concluding addresses this
morning, Fehl. seated beside his
wife, mother and mother-in-law.
heard himself described by his own
counsel as "that blue-eyed man of
German descent, who was actuated by
gratitude and loyalty."
The state attorney described the I
defendant as "the master ' mind of
the ballot theft case, who waa too
cowardly to do it himself, but In
spired k4da to do the crime of which
he expected to reap tho. fruits. '.' .
The defense had contended that
Fehl and others gathered In the
county Judge's office on the night of
the ballot robbery, to prepare a bond
for Llewellyn A. Banks. The state
attorney declared this bond offered
in evidence by the defense as an
alibi, was actually made out on Feb
ruary 11. The state contended the
meeting in Fehl's ofricc was to dis
cuss the ballot robbery plans.
Deed on Eve of Recount.
The 10.000 balots were stolen and
destroyed on the eve of a recount
the court had ordered to determine
the legality of the election as sheriff
of Oordon L. Schermerhorn, who was
recently convicted of complicity in
the theft.
The state attorney declared that
defense witnesses had located Fehl
around the courthouse at the hour
Fehl claimed he was in his office
with John Olenn, former Jailer.
"Sheriff Schermerhorn. Elton Wat
kins and Tom L. Brecheen were alone
In the courthouse after all the others
at that bond meeting had left." de
clared Attorney A. C. Hough of
Grants Pass, for the defense. "They
were as much Interested as anybody.
I know what my guess is as to what
happened, and the Jury can draw its
own conclusions."
Fehl Fearful.
The stat attorney also said that
Fehl for "many weeks had been con
spicuously interested in the ballot
recount, and fearful of the results."
The state counsel also charged
"Fehl and Brecheen tampered with
the ballot pouches when they were
stored In the clerk's office and to
cover up his tracks, reported his own
tampering to the grand Jury."
Attorney Herman Von Schmals of
Burns made the closing plea for the
defense. He contended the state had
not proven the "guilt of Judge Fehl
beyond a reasonable doubt, and the
evidence is based solely on sus
picions." '

NEW YORK, Aug. 4. (P) The New

close early this afternoon when
fumes, which the Exchange said had
apparently come from explosion of
two tear-gas bombs, flooded the lower
floors of the big building.
The fumes were at first believed to
have come from a leaky ammonia

gas bombs had been tossed into the
vlntllatlng apparatus.
The Nw York police Immediately
began an investigation.
Eyes Irritated.
A hastj, checkup of traders and
clerks who had been on the' floor.
as well as of persons In offices on
upper floors of the building, disclosed
no one had been seriously Injured
although many persons were suffer

The fumes billowed up through
the first four floors, which were or
dered evacuated, and also swept in
to tho streets at a time when the
stock exchange district was thronged
with the noonday crowd.
Trading on the Exchange was lm
mediately suspended for the balance
of the day.
Floors Cleared.
Police reserve and emergency
squads were rushed into the district
and held back the milling thousands
while the affected floors of the Ex

Of course wlien you sit down and

There won't be any exchange of

If such a mission is dispatched,

Saturday Night Closing Set
for 8 o'clock by New
Arrangement More Peo
ple Are Added to Payrolls
Grocery stores of Medford will re
main open until 6 o'clock tonight
and until 8 o'clock Saturday night,
in keeping with a new agreement
reached here under the National Re
covery Act, to give more employment
and more service to the public, W.
A. Gates, representing the food group,
stated this afternoon.
Store open hours, adopted by the
food stores, axe 8 a. m. to 8 p. nv,
every day but Saturday, and 8 a. m.
to 8 p. m. on Saturday.
At the same time the store open
hours are being increased, the em
ployers are adhering absolutely to
the President's re-employment wage
agreement, Mr. Gates stated, an
nouncing that extra 'help Is being
added to the stores' staffs to enable
com pi a nee with the code.
Operating under the 8 a. m. to ft
p. m. basis, Mr. Gates stated, the
food stores were defeating the very
purposea of the NRA, for instead of
needing additional help, they found
they could get along with leas.
The grocery stores are observing the
code to the dot, Mr. Gates stated,
announcing further that aa a result
of lengthening the hours he has add
ed to his staff as steady employes:
Merrltt PTObat field. Sari Coss, Edward
Gould and Margaret Gephard. Two
or three additional glrla have also
been engaged to start work next
week. '
Shoe shlnera of Medford, too, an
nounced today the number of hours
their shops will be open under the
new code. From 8 a. m. to fl p. m..
on week daya the public ahoae may be
ahtned. and from 8 a. m. to 0 p. m.
on Saturday. No shoe shining par
lors will be open on Sundays.
Speaking In defense of the small
stores, where three or less employes'
are hired, Postmaster W, J, Warner,
today asked the public to remember
that there Is no provision at thts'
time allowing blue eagles to this
group, and not to discriminate,
against the small store because the'
engle la not flying in the window.
Mr. Warner expressed the belief that
the government will soon make soma
provision for this group, and until '
som u made, asks the public to
continue patronage, since the ab
sence of the eagle does not mean
that the employer la lacking in pat
riotism. The government has no In'
tentlon of measuring & man's pat
riot Ism by the sire of hts payroll,
ana nas made no provision for grant
ting insignia to employers hiring
three or lean people.
B. E. Harder, general of the Na
tional Recovery Act drive here, and
Mrs. A. B. Reames, lieutenant-gen
eral, are meeting thla afternoon with
committees to take steps toward out
lining the local campaign.
Stores outside the food group are

with tha agreement reached last Sat

SANTA BARBARA, Cal.,
Aug. 3. If it's as hot back
Kant tho California paper
ny it is, there is no use me
writing you. I should just send

on this fireplace hero in the

Barbara, the most colorful
event in California, the home
of- yellow horses and silver
saddles.
