Comment

By FRANK JENKINS
SECRETARY of the Interior Ickes.
public works administrator, de
fends himself at Chicago agalnat the
charge that the public worts pro
gram Is all wound around with red
tape and so Is falling to function
at the time It Is needed.
"We are more liberal than any
lender on large sale alnce the be
ginning of the world ever thought
of being:' he tells his critics, "but
we are not dropping taxpayers- money
into the hat of a Wind man. You
ought to know that."
TO THIS writer! It seems that the
public works program Is going
to be too much delayed to do much
good. But let's give even the devil
hla due.
Spending three and a third billion
dollars Is a tremendous Job a Job
so vast that It staggers the imagin
ation. If you and I were doing It.
with the responsibility for a good,
honest Job resting squarely on our
shoulders and with the certstn
knowledge that If we DIDN'T do a
good Job we'd have our hides taken
off and hung on the fence, we'd take
a lot of time. too.
Now wouldn't we?
PRESIDENT Roosevelt, we read. Is
determined to push his program
for expansion of credit.
Expansion of credit, as of course
you know, Is a fine, high-sounding
term meaning, when reduced to sim
ple, plain word auch as ordinary
people use, making It esSW to bor
row money.
s Reading thla, those of us who need
to borrow money, or THINK we do,
throw up our hate and cheer lustily.
We're all for such a program.
OUT again let's look the situation
V in the face ana give "
his due even if the devil, in this
case, happens to be a banker, and
therefore without friends In the
present emergency.
t real, low-down reason why the
bankers are tight about lending
money la that they have a healthy
fear that with nobody much making
any REAL profit, they won't get their
money back.
That's why they hesitate.
et
LET'S be fair about this thing.
Suppose you or I had a hundred
dollars that we didn't need Just at
the moment, and therefore consid
ered lending It. Before we made the
loan, we'd want to be pretty sure we
were going to get our money BACK.
Thafe the way the bankera feel
about It. And you can't really blame
them, in view of the fact that they
are lending OTHER PEOPLE'S
MONEY and face the aharpest kind
of penaltlea If they don't do a good
Job of It.
M
HERE, by the way. Is a thought:
A lot of the financial troublea
that are plaguing us NOW are due
to the fact that in the bl years
back before 1929 credit waa TOO
LIBERAL that la to say, money was
too easy to borrow.
Most of us borrowed too much of
It, and ao let ourselves in for plenty
of grief.
M
IF PRIVATE credit la to be expand
ed, those who have money to lend
will have to be convinced that there
is a mighty good chance for them
to GET IT BACK.
Ontll lendere begin to feel that way
about It, there won t be much ex
pansion of private credit.
We might as well make up our
minds to that.
THIS writer, who is only one hum
ble Individual and whose opin
ion isn't worth much, bellevea that
if the government. Inatead of launch
ing a three billion dollar public
works program, which necessarily in
volves a vast amount of detail and
delay, hid loaned the three bill'ons
to private indtviduala, to be used In
rehabilitating their businesses and
getting them going again, the results
in the vay of Immediate Increase of
purchasing power would have been
much greater.
What do you think about It?

COUNTY OFFICIALS
Judge Day and District At
torney Codding Leave To
Confer With State Offic
ialsBudget Main Worry.
In order to obtain opinions from
the attorney-general's office, on lesal
phases of the Jackson county finan
cial situation, and to confer with
state officials In an effort to work
otit a solution of the problem, Coun
ty Judge Evrl B. Day and District
Attorney George A. C odd Ins left thla
afternoon for Salem. The two offici
als expect to be In the capital two or
three days.
The conferences will be helpful in
the preparation of the 1034 budget,
scheduled for next month.
Deficits Faced -
Many of the county offices and de
paitmenta face deficits In the re
maining months of the year and the
ri gilts of officials under Oregon law,
to continue, and their personal re
sponsibility In overdrawn budgets,
will be discussed. Some relief, Coun
ty Judge Day said, would be sought
from the special session of the legis
lature, If there la no other way.
County Judge Day also wants legal
and executive assurances to uphold
him in steering county governmental
affairs Into less troubled waters, and
keeping them afloat, while so doing.
Most of the county offices have
sums remaining In their budgets but
the circuit court, the clerk's office,
and the sheriff's office are in the
"red.' due to the 'heavy expense Im
posed upon these departments in re
storing order, after the Banks-Fehl
Inspired lawlessness. It required close
to $26,000 to try the two agitators
and their lieutenants. The 1033
budget committee allowed $8600 for
circuit court operation and but for
the turmoil, the circuit court would
have kept within this amount.
Commissary lilt Treasury
County finances were further de
pleted by the unauthorized expendi
ture of $M,000 for the establishment
of & county commissary by Fehl. No
provisions were made for auch a pro
tect In the budget. The extravagance
left the current relief fund at a low
ebb, and resulted In imposing of re
cent drastic provisions. Testimony
in the ballot theft trials showed
"Banks guarda" fed from the com
missary lavishly.
Another expense not Included In
the laat budget waa $2600 for an
audit that revealed the clerk's office
short a nickel, and the sheriff's of
fice shy 60c. The budget allowance
for the audit was $260.
Some of the deflcita were caused
by the rigid economy of the last
budget board, but they are all minor,
and trivial compared with the ex
travagances practiced last wlnterj
The new budget committee Is
scheduled to convene next month,
and the framing of the budget will
require the services of sound, con
servative, and public spirited citizens
with the beat Interests of the coun
ty's future first In their mnii It Is
pointed out.
County Judge Day plans the estab
lishment of a systematic busfhess op
eration of the county for 1834. and
wants budget committee members of
the same mind, and appreciative of
the problems to be Ironed out.
