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.

clerk, held their first meeting yes
terday, and heard 24 applications,
