MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MED.FORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, 'AUGUST 15, 1933 PAGE TUREU; F VETE Slashes in Pensions and Disability Pay Now Rec ognized As Too Drastic Says Solon On Visit Here James W. Mott, congressman from this district, spent Monday in the city shaking hands with old friends and making new ones. The heat did not bother the dapper solon, who spent many a torrid day in Wash ington, D. 0.. during the spring and early summer. One of the "modern Republicans," and on two congressional committees of high power, as far as this state Is concerned, Congressman Mott pre dicts modification of the Economy bill, that slashed pensions and funds of disabled veterans, at the next ses sion of congress. "Even President Rooeevelt," said the . congressman, quick to sense public opinion, now feels the measure was too drastic." Against Measure. Congressman Mott, himself a vet eran, was one of the few solons who voted against the adoption of the Economy measure. He was scolded by the press, and some constituents, who now have changed their minds. Congressman Mott holds that many worthy disabled veterans were un justly discriminated against. Cor rection of this abuse Is seen at the next session. Congressman Mott also foresees a more "liberal congress" at Its next was ion, "one that will return to its constitutional right of law-making." Congressman Mott Is prepared to support legislation that will benefit the prune grower, the pear grower. N. R. A. Success Seen. Success of the N. R. A. is also fore cast by Congressman Mott. "It's got to work, and the Democratic party has got to have the guts to enforce It. President Roosevelt has the sup port of the public." He lists the Re covery Act as "socialism in a mild form a hated word among the re actionaries." The grant of author ity to President Roosevelt is more power than Mussolini ever dreamed of." according to Congressman Mott. Mott' is a member of the public lands committee, which has to -do with the O.-C. tax refund, and the federal roads committee, which deals out road appropriations, in which southern Oregon with its recreation al centers and spots, is vitally inter ested. He secured the committee ap pointments, which will pnove of great value to his districts, through scarcity of Republicans in the house. Growers to Benefit. Legislation beneficial to the pear growers of the state Is foreseen by Congressman Mott, "because the ad ministration policy will be broaden ed, and congress, with party lines disappearing, will be llveral, particu larly to those districts nominally Re publican." Congressman Mott, on his southern Oregon trip, discussed gen eral details and needs with local growers and packers. He left early today for Grants Pass, after spending Monday in -this city. In comparison with the austere and venerable Hawley, Congressman Mott Is a snappy solon, earnest and as friendly as an old shoe.
