HOT weather In Southern Oregon,
as elsewhere, thla week. People
complain.
Thoee who complain LOUDEST
are the ones who objected most
etrenuoualy to the cold, wet weather
last spring.
That Is the way It always goes.
LET'S not worry about -not weather
lu Southern Oregon. We need a
certain amount of it to mature our
crops.
Let's not worry about ANY kind
of wjather In Southern Oregon. Our
weather la uniformly good enough
that w - don't need to worry much
about it.
BUI' teja go on thinking about It
u much aa we like. If we didn't
have the weather to talk about, we'd
be In a terrible fix.
Just how, for example, would you
open up a casual conversation with
a atranger if you didn't have the
weather to fall back on? '
Weather la useful for other things
than growing crops.
JOSEPH CARSON. Portland'! new
mayor, want expensea cut In
every department. Reducing expens
es until, they meet Income la the only
way ,ie can see to balance the city's
budget.
Strange man I The usual political
theory la that the way to get our
eelvea out of the hole Is to apend
ourselves deeper In,
HHHE national recovery admlnlstra-
tion la considering puutx
ing at least to the extent of mini
mum Drlces to prevent disastrous
price cutting.
General Johnson, however, Isn't
vmrn MnMlllftlA.tlC about It.' Hfr SftVSt
"I nave said oefore, and I repeat,
that any proposal for price fixing
whlcn does not nave as Its basis the
control of production is an economic
monstrosity, and I refuw to have
anyth'ug to do wlt,1 It."
GENERAL' JOHNSON, like a lot of
other people, likes big words.
What he means by "economic mon
slrceitj" Is that if prices are fixed
at a figure high enough to yield an
attractive profit people will pro
duce too much and so create a situ
ation in which there are more sellers
than buyers.
If we are going to tinker with the
law of supply and demand by fixing
the price, he thinks, we must go the
whole load and tell people they can
produre only so much.
HE is absolutely right. In this
writer's humble Judgment.
If wo are going to go PART of the
way by fixing prices, we are head
ing for trouble. We can't have high
prices and unlimited' production at
one and the same time. "
The proverb tells us we can t have
our crke and eat It, too. and the
colnir ol that proverb knew what Jie
was inking about.
AN unusally intelligent potato
grower said to thla writer the
other Jay:
"I want a good price for potatoes
this tall, of course; but I sincerely
hope the ' price doesn't go TOO
HIGH. II It does, we're in for trou
ble next year and the year after.
"If potato growing Is too profitable
thla year too many people will rush
Into it next year and break the
price."
THERE'S
that s
I S a lot of sound sense In
i statement, aa you can prove
for yiurse'.f by going back over the
figure? for the past ten years or so.
Invariably, years of shortage and
hig,1 orlcea are followed by several
years of over-production and LOW
PRICES.

at the Conger funeral parlors and

BEVERLY H ILLS, Cal., Aug.
15. Well, I was just sitting
around here late this afternoon
and happened to have a day
off tomorrow, and the VTest is
playing the East polo in Chica
go tomorrow. I think of leaT
ing here late this evening, fly
ing to Chicago, see the game
and back tomorrow night. Over
Boulder dam about 9 tonight,
Salt Lake at midnight, see the
sun rise in Cheyenne, breekfast
in Omaha, lunch in Chicago, all
on a passenger line. And by
the way, the aeroplane come in
pretty handy getting the ex
president out of Cuba. There
is nothing that will drive you
to flying quicker than to have
somebody after you. .
If this NRA works out (and
it certainly looks like it will)
it will just show you you don't
have to have war to make folks
patriotic.
