Day's News
Br FRANK JLNK1.NS.
REVOLUTION, or at least near
revolution. Is spreading In Cuba
which doesn't sound so good. It
waa war that got ua Into our present
business difficulties, and more wars
won't get us out.
STIl! you can't blame the Cubans
too severely.
Under President Machado, who Is a
good deal of a tyrant, conditions
have finally got so bad that to those
who have to endure them it begins
to seem that they can't get any
worse.
When that happens, a revolution
usually follows.
ON the first day of the Cuban dis
orders, 28 persons were killed.
That sounds bad.
But listen: On the same day on
which the Cuban troubles started,
they held an election In Kentucky.
As an accompaniment of that elec
tion, FOURTEEN persona were killed.
We have troubles of our own.
Birr enough of wars, let's turn
to something more cheerful.
The Pacific Builder, published in
San Francisco, report that in 100
Pacific coast cities building In July
Increased 63 per cent over July of
last year.
Reversing the usual seasonal trend,
building In July of this year was
ahead of building In June. Usually
June materially exceeds July.
THAT certainly sounds good. When
people start putting up build
ings, which are a permanent invest
ment, It Is a pretty sure sign they
are getting their confidence and their
coxirage back.
When people generally get back
their confidence and their courage,
the end of the depression will be
here.
A' SURVEY of the turkey situation
by the Portland Journal lndl
catea a SHORTAGE of from 25 to 30
per cent in the turkey crop of the
Pacific northwest this year.
The losses are heaviest in Idaho,
where the crop, probably, will be only
about half of last year's. In Oregon
as a whole, the reduction will be
around 20 per cent.
Poor hatches and difficulties In
brooding, due, possibly, to the cold,
vet spring, appear to have been re
sponsible for most of the loss.
.
IT sounds odd to talk of a poor crop
aa a good thing, yet that is about
what It amounts to thla year. It I
the poor wheat crop over the country
as a whole that la responsible for the
higher prices, because of promised
reduction of the carryover. We must
get rid of this carryover before we
can expect fair prices for wheat.
Reduction of the turkey crop, alml
larly. will help to boost the price,
which last year waa discouraging low.
MORE good news:
Henry I. Harrlman, president of
the United States chamber of com
merce, predicts a business revival for
this fall thst will re-employ SEVEN
MILLION persona before 1934.
Seven million Is a lot.
THE way to bring back prosperity
Is first to put people back to
work and second to pay them GOOD
WAOES.
Paying wages has to come second,
because before employers can pay
good wages they have to earn the
money with which to pay them.
Wages, we must always remember,
can come ONLY out of profits. There
Isn't anywhere else for them to come
from.

APPEAL TO
I
Sentence To Be Pronounced
On Prescott's Slayer
Monday Is Announcement
By Judge G. F. Skipworth.
EUGEKE, Aug. 11. (AP) Llewel
lyn A. Banks, Medford publisher, will
be sentenced In circuit court here
Monday, August 14. Tor the second
degree murder of Constable George
Prescott of Medford. Time for sen
tence had been unofficially announc
ed for Friday morning but Judge
Skipworth had not sat the time in
open court.
Judge Skipworth also overruled the
defense motion for & new trial. At
torney Frank J. Lonergan for the de
fense announced that no decision
had been made as to appealing from
the judgment of the court after sen
tence la pronounced.
Banks' motion for a, new trial, de
nied this morning by Judge Skip
worth w based upon allegations of
prejudice, misconduct of bailiffs In
attendance, and errors at law. Banks,
it Is said, alleged that a woman
bailiff had unduly influenced the
Jurors during the progress of the
trial.
Assistant Attorney General Moody
is in Eugene, attending to other mat
ters In connection with the .local
turmoil.
Defense Counsel Lonergan's an
nouncement that no steps had been
taken to appeal the case to the su
preme court, after pronouncement of
sentence came as a surprise In some
sections here. An appeal would entail
an expense of close to $1000.
The court found that all of Banks'
allegations "in the new trial motion
were baseless.
Banks Is expected to be , removed
from the Lane county jail to the
state penitentiary, shortly after pas
sage of sentence.

Latin American country who
shall be president and who
can't. Now there is no doubt

but what country ain'tt
Now we get our gugnr from
Cuba and everything we do in
Cuba is going to be misunder
stood. So about the best thing
we can do in Cuba is to let
Cuba tnke care of Cuba. I don't
care how little your country is,
you gotta right to run it like
you want to. When the big na
tions quit meddling, then the
world will have peace.'
