By FRANK JENKINS
MRS. ANTON DACH. of La Cringe
Texas, convicted of the murder
of farm hand, atarvea herself to
death In order to avoid dying In the
electric chair.
People do strange things In this
itorld, don't they?
THE government Is slaughtering
five million hogs, In order to
reduce the available supply, so that
prices for the hogs that remain msy
rise.
That, a few years ago, would have
seemed a strange thing to do so
atrsnge that anyone who proposed It
mould have been regarded aa crazy.
NOW we takeU a matter of
course along with the plowing
under of cotton and the leasing 01
wheat land in order to keep It out
of production.
We live In a changing world, and
the radical absurdity of one decade
fcecomes the commonplace of the
next.
IT would be "Interesting, wouldn't
It? If Karl Marx could come
hack to life. He would probably be
overwhelmed with humiliation at
finding himself so hopelessly old
fashioned and conservative.
THIS, probably! 'la the burning
question of the hour: Is NRA
vorking. ,
You can't anawer that question as
jet. Neither can thla writer. Nor, it
it likely, can anybody else.
But It la at least encouraging to
note that for the week ending Aug
ust 23 bank clearings at leading cities
of the United States show an Increase
of 12.7 per cent over the correspond
ing wek a year ago.
BANK clearings,' you know, are the
best measure, we have of the
amount of money passing from hand
to hand In ordinary business trans
actions. And INCREASE In the
.mount of money passing from hand
to hand In ordinary business trans
actions la the beat proof we can have
that business Is getting better.
IP It Is true that business la Improv
ing, la NRA responsible for the
Improvement?
Here sgaln Is a question that can't
I answered with positive certainty,
put when your heart action has been
dangerously bad and you take a
itlmulant to Improve It, you are in
clined to give the credit for the Im
provement to the stimulant.
SPEAKING of a'tl'mulants, the tsx
spenders have been taking them
liberally In the past quarter of a
century. '
Within the past 25 years, expendi
ture of the national government
have Increased about 370 per cent,
.xpendlturea of the atate governmenta
.bout 800 per cent and expenditurea
ef local governments about 649 per
cent.
That la going up pretty rapidly,
Isn't It?
IT may be that you pay no taxea,
and ao may be inclined to say:
"What does all this' mean to me?"
Remember this: Taxes are a part
ef the coat of doing business, and so
must be added to the price of what
you buy.
And don't forget this: Taxes must
come out of the earnings of business.
The more money taken out for tax
es, the LESS remains with which to
pay good wages.
Tou ARB Interested In hihg taxes,
whether you pay them DIRECTLY or
not.

Million And Half Volunteers
In Campaign To Put Blue
Eagle In Every Store and
Home of the Nation.
Ben E. Harder, in charge of the
drive which will open Wednesday to
check the N. R. A. supporters In
Medford and attempt to get an eagle
posted in the window of every home
and business office In the city, an
nounced today that the supplies for
the workers have arrived, and will be
distributed to the group before they
start out Wednesday. ;
The su piles Include buttons for the
workers, and stickers to be placed In
the windows.
Mr. Harder expressed disappoint
ment in the apparent lack of Inter
est in the talk given over the Na
tion Broadcasting company's network
Sunday evening between 8:45 and
7:45 by Hugh S. Johnson. N. R. A.
administrator. A check this morn
ing, he said, revealed that only two
out of so questioned had heard the
sddress. Johnson gave, instructions
for carrying out the canvass.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 29. P)
N. R. A. volunteers 1.500.000 strong
opened today, under Hugh S. John
son s mandate "We cannot afford to
fall,' a campaign to Implant the Blue
Eagle in ever; business house and In
millions of homes.
Speeding this "greatest corps of
voluntters In the country's history"
on its door-to-door canvass, Johnson
told his workers and the untry
that "either through codes or agree
ments we enter this drive with be
tween 70 end 80 per cent of the em
ployers in trade and Industry already
under the Blue Eagle."
. Milestone In Progress.
The reoovery administration de
scribed the drive as "a milestone In
human progress, explslnlng:
"For the first time the Amertcsn
people have a chance to test in busi
ness a principle thst they long ago
proved In government. Thst prin
ciple is the trite old slogan, 'In union
there is strength.' "
"Buy under the Blue Eagle" was
the watchword set "by Johnson for his
volunteers, after warning that "even
a shsdow" of "boycott, Intimidation
and violence would spoil this
whole endeavor." He added:
Not a Boycott.
"But there must not be the slight
est misunderstanding. It la :not a
boycott for the people of a distressed
country to ssy they are going to
stick to those who do their part to
cure a common evil snd to ignore
those who refuse to do so. To do
otherwise would be to frustrate the
nsttonal purpose ."

alxty of them bring forth new situa

According to those behind the
scenes It Is quite probable that an
announcement of Intention couched
In general terms will precede the act.
wnito House sdvlsers have pointed
out that if Mr. Roosevelt state at an
early date he Intends to apply Infla

BEVERLT HILLS, Cal., Aug.
27. California has a murder
trial going on out here now
(some professor is supposed to
have killed his wife) s o you all
know when your home town
papers can scare up a good
murder trial, why that's just
like striking pay dirt.
So I don't know what Hugh
Johnson is doing with the auto
code, how Secretary Wallace
of agriculture is making out
trying to keep pigs from grow

doing toward making interna
tional conferences useful as

retary of Lahor Miss Perkins
is doing to see that everything
in the NRA is not unionized, or
is unionized," or whatever they
decide to do with it.
As I say we got a murder
trial and ,we don't know a
thing in the world that is hap
pening outside of that, so par
don my ignonince.
