Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
(-pHE first H months of 1033 have
1 been the least favorable for
crop production of any aeason in
FIFTY YEArtd, according to the de
partment of agriculture of the United
States. Acreage planted has been re
duced, and prospective yields are low."
THE foregoing paragraph is quoted
from a little pamphlet entitled
"The Agricultural Situation and Out
look," published by the Oregon State
Agricultural college and the United
States department of agriculture, In
co-operation.
It sums up the story wo have been
reading In the papers for months. The
story Is one of reduced crops over
the nation as a whole.
NORMALLY, poor crops and bad
times go hand In hand. This year,
however, we see an exception to this
rather well established rule. In re
duced crops, we see an IMPROVED
OUTLOOK.
Why? Because over-production has
brought agriculture Into a bad atate,
with prices hanging around the
starvation point. Prices are low be
cause there are moro buyera than
eeilera that is to say, because supply
exceeds demand.
This condition can be cured only
by reduction of supply until it Is
brought Into something like a reason
able relationship to demand.
WE ARE undertaking to accomplish
that by law, but too much re
liance can't be placed upon crop re
duction by law. Nature needs to
take a hand if crop reduction is to
be made really effective.
If the figures of the department of
agriculture are" accurate, Nntwe ''1
TAKING A HAND.
WHEN Nature takes a hand in crop
reduction, her processes are tar
from Impartial. She lays the heavy
hand of punishment here, and ene
bestows benefits there. To some areas
she brings crop failures, and to others
she brings heavy yields.
But in the long run she reduces
production, so that accumulated sur
Dluses may be consumed.
. She has been doing that for a long
time In the past, and will continue
to do It for a long time to come.
nnHE Southern Oregon country, this
X year, Is one of the favored apots
In the face of general shortages,
which are bringing prices up from
the disastrously low levels of recent
" yean, the erorss In the Klamath
country are HEAVY In some cases
establishing new records for high pro
duction. . We have been happily dealt with,
and should be grateful.
OUR future, here In Southern Ore
gon, looks good.
The money coming In from our
bountiful crops should tide us over
the fall and winter, providing the
increase of buying power that Is
needed In order to bring about lm
proved business for the marketing
of these crops will bring new money
Into the country, and new money
brought into the country will stlmu
late business. '
By next spring, the lumber In
dustry, which la our great payroll in
dustry, should begin to show Im
provement. Our future looks very bright Indeed
THE lumber Industry has been
stimulated already, but Its real
Improvement has not yet got under
way.
People do not begin to buy lunv
ber IMMEDIATELY when times begin
to improve. Lumber isn't bought, to
any great extent, in small quantities
If your shoes are worn out. you will
probably buy another pair as soon as
you get s little money In your pocket.
Likewise with a new suit of clothes
It Is even probable that If your old
car Is worn out you will buy a new
one as soon as you begin to feel a
little easier In your mind about the
future.
But not so with building a new
barn, or a new hen house, or a new
duelling. Before you do that, you
must have got most of your bills
paid up and a little money ahead
That Is why real recovery of the
lumber industry Inge behind recovery
in other line.

Simultaneously, Johnson was con

spread 'employment at a faster and
greater rate.

RECENT ADVANCE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. (Jf)
After, weeks of steady decline, an
upswing in the wholesale prices on
farm and food products for the week
ended August 36, paved the way to

wholesale price level for the week.
The bureau of labor statistics of
the department of labor today placed
the index of the general level of
wholesale prices for the period at
69.6, aa compared with 69.3 for the
preceding week.
The figures are based on average
prices for the year 1926 as 100.
Farm products, after- decline from
59.6 to 57.5 during the four preced
ing weeks, stepped back to a 8,3
level. ,
Wholesale food prices had exper
ienced a similar dtp, going from 66.1
on July 29. to 64 4 on August 19.
For the most recently recorded week.
however, they swung back to 65.0.
The general increase In wholesale
prices was shared by all major groups
except building materials, chemicals
and drugs, and certain miscellaneous
products. Hides and leather commod
ities led In the price upswing with
an Increase of 2 per cent. The index
numbers compiled by the bureau were
derived from price quotations on 784
commodities.

BEER TAX PLAN
IS OFFERED FOR
JOBLESS RELIEF
SALEM, Aug. 31. (AP) Solution
of two problems likely to be Included
In the agenda of a special session of
the legislature. If one la called, In a
single measure will be proposed to
the governor's committee appointed
to study and report on methods of
financing state unemployment relief
by Earl W. Snell, speaker of the house
and a member of the committee, ac
cording to word received here today.
Bnell'a plan contemplates one en
actment to license, regulate and tai
the sale of beer In Oregon, with the
proceeds to be applied to unemploy
ment relief in such amount and for
such a period of time as circum
stances may warrant, but his proposal
differs from others heretofore ad
vanced In that It would make coun
ties instead of the state the adminis
trative unit.
Optional Procedure.
Further, the Snell plan would leave
it optional with each county whether
relief funds would be diverted di
rectly from beer revenues, as they
were collected or obtained through
the aale of bonds or certificates of
Indebtedness to be amortized out of
the beverage tax. Thus, emergency
unemployment demands such ax now
exist In some of the counties could
be immediately met out of bond
funds without imposing a further ax
upon property.
Unemployment. Snell explained, ex
ists quite accurately In direct pro
portion to population, and beer con
sumption likewise runs in a relative
ratio. Relief funda would consequently
be collected in amounts correspond
ing to demands snd population.
Would Specify Rates.
"The legislature would confer upon
the counties suthority to levy beer
taxes at specified rates for relief pur
poses while the emergency exists, or,
If larger sums of relief money were
Immediately needed than could be
collected from a reasonable levy on
beer isles, issue bonds to be fi
nanced through a beer tax over a pe
riod of years," Snell said.
"Surplus tax collections over re
lief needs or bund retirement require
ments could be credited to the gene
ral fund of the county to be applied
to the reduction of burdensome prop
erty taxes and to relieie, In ft meas
ure, the financial difficulties the
counties now face as a result of tax
delinquencies.
"Collection of the tax would be
through the established tax collection
agenclea of the counties, and enforce

regulations would be made primarily
the duty of existing enforcement of

30. So Germany has barred
Schumann Heink. Say, if my
own wife barred Schumann
Heink from anything I would
be with Schumann, a grand,
liberal-minded soul.
Some fellow on Long Island,
New York, in a dress suit
pounced on my old friend Huey
Long. Huey didn't recognize
him in the disguise. Dress suits
are only used in Louisiana to
encase dead politicians.
By the way, did anybody
ever see a U. S. senator in his
home state after the night he is
elected t I have met 'em all
over the world when congress
was not in session, but never
saw one at home. They are al
ways making speeches about
"my fine people back home"
but they never want to go see
'em. So I hereby start a move
ment to create another week,
like apple week, prune week.
It's "meet your own senator
week," and make him come
home, no matter what happens
to him.
