B Canada, Argentina and Aus i tralla want to get together and agree Dot to grow so much wheat. Page the shade of Thomas Malthus. who frightened the world badly a century and a balf ago wltb his theory that population grows more rapidly than the capacity .of the soil to pro duce food, so that In time everybody must starve to death. WHAT a laugh we' get In these mod ern days of over-production of everything that people, eat when we contemplate the Malthuslan theory I HERE In thlB country, by means of the NBA. we are proposing revo lutionary changes In the established ways of doing things, and a lot of frightened people are telling us that because of these revolutionary changes Jn our mode of living and doing business we are riding for a terrible fall. Our descendants, a century and a balf hence, will probably laugh as derisively at these fears as we now laugh at the fears of Malthus a cen tury and a half ago. This old world has a surprising ca pacity to adapt Itself to new ways and new conditions. THE EOHIPPUS. little three-toed 1 prehistoric horse, lived In deep forests and soft, marshy ground, and noeded Its three toes to keep it from miring down. '' ' Then conditions changed, and the forests and marshes gave way to wide plains, with HARD, smooth ground. But the horse didn't perish. Instead, It shed two of Its toes and developed a single large one, with a hard, horny hoof, adapted for travel on the harder ground. At the same time. It grew larger, developing more strength and speed for getting away from Its ene mies. Thus It was enabled to SURVIVE in the face of changing conditions. , BUSINESS will follow the example of the three-toed horse, adapt ing itself to new and changing con ditions; Bluffing' off. if necessary, those of its present habits which arc rendered useless by new conditions, and developing NEW HABITS to meet the new conditions. But It will SURVIVE, Just as the! horse survived. Don't doubt that. COTTON growers of the United States are to receive $110,000,000 from the government as a reward for promising to plow under- from 25 to 80 per cent of their acreage, so as to reduce the cotton surplus and tN CREASE PRICES. Revolutionary, Isn't It? We never did anything like that before. We're stepping out onto new and untried ground. BUT mark this: Paying cotton growers to plow under a part of their crop, in order ,0 reduce the surplus, is no more revolutionary on our part than was the slufflng off of two of hla toes by the eohlppus and the develop ment of a single hard, horny toe in their place. The three-toed horse met new con ditions by doing new things, and we are following his example. He survived, and SO SHALL WE. THIS question probably occurs tO you: Where does the money cornel from with which to pay the cotton growers this 110 million dollars? It comes from the "processor's'' tax on cotton, which WE PAT In the form cf higher prices for cotton goods. If you are a merchant, you are now taking Inventory of your cotton goods in ordeT to find out your share of the tax, and If you are a con sumer you are paying, or soon will pay, your share of the coat. 4DUT" you My' "wny Bhoul! 1 D taxed In order to help out the cotton grower?" Well, the cotton grower bTT OTHER THINGS. When he HAS THE MONET, ht buys prunes and pears and potato and lumber. If he hasnt the money, he DOESN'T buy, because he CAN'T. (Coctinued on Pag four.) SALES ALAUCTION Growers Would Have Ade quate Representation On Commodity Committees Under Agreement Is Word WASHINGTON. Aug. 18.

The agreement also would author ize Uie establishment by the com modity committee of maximum brok erage charges for the various types of service rendered at both shipping points end terminal markets." A board of trustees would have super vision ot operationa under the agree ment.

SPECIAL SESSION SEEN NECESSARY IN RELIEF CRISIS PORTLAND. Ore., Aug. 18. (AP)' The demand that the state match In ratio of two to one federal funds j for the emergency relief fund here, mads by the federal relief adminis tration, may result In the calling of a apeclal session of the Oregon leg islature Governor Jullua L. Meier In dicated late Thursday. From his summer home In Gear hart. Governor Meier telephoned that he was giving "serious consideration to th advisability of a special ses sion,'' after the state relief commit tee recommends 'the presentation of the problems to the legislature yes terday, fearing the possible with drawal of federal help. Ilolp Those Who Help Selves The committee's recommendations followed a meeting here yesterday In which Pierce Williams, western rep resentative of the .federsi relief as sociation, told committee members that the policy of the relief ad ministration will be. ' Uncle Sam helps those who help themselves." Committee members expressed themselves as regarding the situa tion as a crisis requiring Vie atten tion of legislators, with state relief funds facing exhaustion October 31, and tUymond B. Wilcox, committee chairman, said h would go to Gear- hart today for a conference with Governor Meier and expressed the opinion that such a session would be "Inevitable under the circumstances." Big Sums Needed The state relief chairman said that for rtlief Oregon will ieed MOO.OOO In October, 500.000 In November and 550.000 in December, leaving about 1 .000.000 needed to carry on a "rea sonable relief program for the rest of the year." In ctses where local agencies fall to shoulder their share of the relief burden, the federal relief adminis tration plans to curtail or withhold federsi assistance, Williams said. "Where we could turn for money at this time Is a real problem," Gov ernor Meier said In commenting on the request of the state relief com mittee. "X have requested a formal letter setting forth the clrcum stsncs. I desire to Inform myself fuliv as to these requirements whicn have been msde by the federal relief admlmitratlon. When I receive t.1at Information and have had tlmo to study It. I shall have something to ssy." Consider Session The governor . stated that "under the circumstances, of course. I shall serlous'y consider the advisability of a spec'al session of the legislature." Wilcox was to present to the gov ernor today a formal resolution which the ccmmlttee drew yesterday, con taining all requirements and general suggestions of the federsi regions! administrator and the state board. "I nsvo been hoping that under NRA and federal public works pro gram, the need might be sufficient ly re leved so that new stress would not need to be placed on the tax payers." the governor said. "It Is obvious with the high rate of delin quency now existing In this state that no additional tax can be placed agalns. real property. No new rev enue can be expected from that source. Where we would tnrn for money at this time la a real prob lem." AT FULL STRENGTH WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.

COUZENS Demands Probe With View to Criminal Proceedings Orgy of Fictitious Value Fixing Is Charged DETROIT. Aug. 18. (AP) Senator, James Couzens (R.. Mich.) today un leashed bitter criticism of Detroit banking methods preceding the Michigan bank holiday, demanded an Investigation of one bank transaction with a view to criminal proceedings, and charged In another statement that "poor Judgment of federal bank examiners" will cause a loss of many millions In loans made by the closed First National bank Detroit. Couzens testified for the second day before the one man grand Jury Investigating the closing of the First National bank and the Guardian Na tional Bank of Commerce. He de clared that while the condition of Detroit banks may have been known to the government, It was considered a question of Judgment by federal of ficials whether to "wait for prosperity to return or Insist on the letter of the lsw and close the banks." Thst. he said., was "not an easy question to answer." Law Not Enforced. "At hearings before the senate banking and currency committee the comptroller himself testified he hsd not enforced the law because he wss waiting, hoping there would be a recovery," said Couzens. Lashing out at banking methods In Detroit, the senator flatly asserted that "I know of no other city In the whole world where there was such an orgy of pyramiding of corpora tions and the fixing of fictitious val ues and earnings." He charged the Union Guardian Trust Co., the Impending closing of which' has been given as the reason for the declaration of Michigan's banking holiday February 14. had "Jockeyed the children's fund of Michigan out of V200.000." and asked (continued on page nine) VETERANS' REVIEW WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.

For moro than-a month the historic landmark baa been bustling with activity, and the eve of the second annual oold Rush Jubilee brings with It the fren zy, the excitement and the poignant pleasure of last-minute preparation The former county seat, which at one time was so Important It was tne only Oregon stopover between San Francisco and Portland in the stage coach days, has an enviable, thrilling and glamorous reputation to live up to. and members of the sponsoring chamber of commerce have been see ing to it that precedent will be equal ed and broken. Always a scene of good-natured hell-raising. Inter spersed with hangings, rich gold strikes and pranks that all but wiped out the place, Jacksonville has be come almost a religion with those Oregonlana intimately associated with birth of the great west. Starting promptly at 10 a. m. to morrow. August 10. one of the great est pioneer shindigs ever presented will be opened with a baseball game between Oold Hill and Jacksonville, and both teams. It is said, will be out for revenge. At the same time, races, contests and exhibitions all with substantial prizes will start in other sections of Jacksonville. One o'clock will see a resumption of the three-ring free shows, and one of the wildest, woliest. neck-breaking rodeos ever presented will start then. One of the highlight of the entire day, and the feature which will be most appreciated and enjoyed, will be the pioneer parade at 8:30 p. m sharp. Everything from Paul Bun- yan'a blue ox to Orandma and her 47 petticoats, will be entered, and prima will be proffered the best get .tips. Throughout the day there will be music by several hands.

Three free museums, the Native Daughters' museum and the famous Brltt stu dios, will attract hundreds from early morning tl.I night. Tim spot where gold was first discovered in Oregon and which had more to do with the building of this section of the state than any other one thing will be one of the sight pointed to with pride by Jacksonville. The entire effort, backed and de vised by the Jarksonvltle chamber of commerce, will strive toward a recreation of the old town when she was the metropolis of half the sta and the richest spot on the pacific coast. Sourdoughs, buslnesn men and ranchers have united to take visitors back to those glamorous days when men dug millions from Jackson creak's gravels.
