TOO MUCH wheat in the world.
8o the four big wheat countries
U. 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.

kets would be in the bands of an
auction committee to stabilize these
sales, in each of the various auction
markets a local 'terminal committee
would be expected to regulate the

accordance with the demand in each
market.
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

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. (API
President Roosevelt decided todsy to
1 maintain the clvlllsn conservation
corps at Its full strength of 314.000

METHODS FLAYED
BY SEN. 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

10 A.M. SATURDAY
AT
Swelling with all the earned pride
of a famous old gold camp, Jackson
ville today la strapping on its fron
tier model Colts and taking its last
deep breath ' bKore festivities com
mence tomorrow morning. 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.
At 9:15 o'clock Mack LI 1 lard w'il
present what has been termed sotjth
ern Oregon's blegest wrestling card in
a specially constructed outdoor arena.
Immediately following this event,
three dances one old-time will
break loose.
A recreated 1880 Monte Carlo or
miner's dissipation parlor will be In
full blast throughout the day. 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.
As one old miner put It, the Jsek
sonvllle Oold Rush Jubilee will "start
at the crack of dawn tomorrow morn
ing and will continue till the last
dog has been hanged the next day."
