THIS NEWSPAPER. ' along with
other business Institutions, signed
the blanket code of the national re
covery act.
When the etandarda of the code
were checked over, It wa found that
this newspaper was already far ahead
of the requirement, both as to wages
and hours.
REMEMBER, please, that this la on
a depression baala, as thla newa
paper, along with all other business
inntitutions. he suffered serious
losses during the past three yeara,
and haa had to adapt lta expenses to
its reduced income.
That la to say. the etandarda of
wagea and hours adopted by this
newspsper a an expedient to meet
the losses due to the depression are
ABOVE the atandards set by the presl.
dent as necessary for the RECOVER
of business and Industry.

It ALWAYS WILL BE, because It
haa learned by experience that the

THERE does the West begin?
W This is a favorite question, and
haa been answered In many Interest
lng ways among others, by the song
writers.
Ralph Bradford, head of the busi
ness organization department of the
chamber of commerce of the United
States, who spoke recently In South'
em Oregon, answers it this way: "The
West begins wherever you begin to

This writer waa asked, a few yeara
ago, by the young woman at an in.
formation desk In New'Tork: "Where
do you live?" and answered: "Oh,
live out West."
"Oh. do rou?" was the reply. "You
know I Just LOVE the West."
"Do you get out West often?" thla
writer asked.
"Tea, quite often," was the reply,
"I have an aunt out in Utlca, and 1
visit her every spring and every fall."

GETTING back to Mr. Bradford:
VJ He said while here: "For 160
yeara. we have been going through
a major depression about every 20 to

SOLID BEHIND RNA
While messages were pouring into
Washington today from all parts of
the country, Indicating that the na
tlon has lined up solidly behind the
presidents re-employment campaign,
the local committee was receiving
pledges of 100 per cent support from
the citizenry of this community, B.
E. Harder, general of the campaign,
announced this afternoon.
"America has gone to war," Mr.
Harder described the campaign.
"That's exactly what has happened.
We are at war against aa cruel and
malicious an enemy as ever attempt
ed to riddle Old Olory. The suffer
ing and death that have come from
this frightful depression of the last
four years. .
"We simply must get our people
tack to work." Mr. Harder sum mar- I
lzed the situation, adding "this drive
will do it. We hear words of praise
and encouragement on every hand
from those who have studied the
plans and realize that they are prac
ticable and economically sound. X
refer of course to the two plans for
the adoption of .the industrial codes
and the so-called blanket code.
In order to build up the nation's
buying power to keep pace with the
Increasing commodity prices, there
must be wholesale re-employment
not some time In the near future,
but right now." .
Reports received at the Mall Tri
bune today listed the Cinderella shop
among those stores, which have al
ready hired extra help to comply
with the NRA program. Miss Donna
Cookaey arrived here from Drain.
Ore., Sunday to accept a position
with the Cinderella shop.
"The NRA emblem In the window
notifies the public of the businesses
which have complied with the presi
dent's program," Mr. Harder remind
ed the public today. "All such firms
are of course entitled to the, same
loyal consideration from the general
public that would be theirs were we
actually at war with an outside en
emy and these firms had by some
fine display of patriotism shown spe
cial loyalty to the commander of the
army and navy."

SOD PEDAL FOR

Whispers Revaluation Plans
Heard No Longer In Inner
Circles Move to Halt
Wild Market Speculation
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. Word haa
been passed down the line Inside for
all government officials to talk down
Inflation prospects. Those who were
whispering a week ago that dollar re
valuation was Just around the next
cornel are humming ft new tune.
They Infer that perhaps that N. R. A.
alone will pun us out. Also that
world price may come back to
level where artificial stimulation will
not bo necessary.
Nothing Is being : said officially
that might prove embarrassing later
on. but the administration Is obvi
ously trying to stamp out Inflation
talk without showing Its own hand.
There Is a reason.
' The stock and grain markets have
just ccmo back to earth- after a. wild
flight of speculative fancy. The spe
culation was built largely on expec
tations of Inflation. Everyone knew
It. Even the office boys were dig
ging in their socks to drop nickels
In thi Wall street slot machine.
The administration apparently Is
determined that shall NOT happen
again. It Is therefore feeding out
Information to prevent speculators
from starting another fleecing mark
et movement.
These are only . surface develop
ments. At bottom the Inflation sit
uation has not changed.
The only real question about It is
whether the recovery steps now be
ing taken are sufficient to do the
wboto Job. Nine out of ten Insiders
In Washington believe more will be
necessary. They have not changed
their minds7, only their talk.
You can not go with existing cur
rency conditions forever. Some day
some dollar standard wlli have to be
fixed. It probably will be a gold
standard. If It IS the gold content
of the dollar will unqeustlonably be
less than It was. If not. It will be
a commodity dollar standard. Eith
er way, you get the same result In

MINIMUM PEACH
PRICE OF $20
IS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. (AP)-A
minimum price of 930 a ton for No.
t California cling peaches was pro
posed today in a marketing agree
ment offered the Industry by the
agricultural adjustment administra
tion. The minimum price of 30 a ton
was a compromise between the 917
figure put forwsrd In a proposed
agreement drawn by canners and
some growers In California and ft
price of 935 a ton asked by represen
tatives of other growers' organisa
tions In the state.
The offer of the agreement, which,
If accepted, would affect nearly 4000
peach growers and 60 canners,' waa
telegraphed to California by Rexford
O. Tugwell. acting secretary of agr!
culture, and George N. Peek, admin
istrator of the farm adjustment act.
The agreement would limit the
cling peach pack to 10.000.000 cases
or 318.000 tons. It provides for pur
chase of any surplus of number one
peaches at a price equivalent to the
30 ft ton figure.
Officials said acceptance of the
cling peach industry would Insure ft
return of at least 94.360.000 this year
to California peach growers. Last year
the cling peach growers received an
average of only $6.60 per ton.

Senator Charles L. McNary, repub

President Roosevelt, supported by con
gress, has Inspired confidence and
courage, and doubt has given way to
doing."
McNary cautioned that "to oppose
the President now In a purely parti
san spirit would be rocking the boat
at ft particularly unfortunate time."
He added that "when the time comes
for another nalonal c!ec!on we may
have plenty of Issues, some of which
underlie the political structures of
the two major parties, and some
which may arise out of the distressed
economlo conditions which may not
be helped by administration meas

"I share the belief," he tald. "that
within the next year there will be
substantial thinning of the rsnks of
the unemployed, returning prosper
ity marked In character, and general
business revival that will be wholly
satisfying." .
Senator McNary aald he has "an
abiding faith In the statement of
President Roosevelt that be will cftuse
o be constructed ft dam in the Co
lumbia river at a site to be recom
mended by the chief of army engi

dam to be used for development of
