Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
RELIEF needs In Oregon thla win
ter are expected to total eight
million dollars, of which the govern
ment will provide three millions
while the state must provide the other
' Jive.
How?
That question will plague the legis
lature when It meets In special ses
sion late In October.
M
THERE Is an old saying to the ef
fect that "you can t get blood out
I of a turnip" which is quite all right,
because nobody WANTS to get blood
out of a turnip.
But it la equally true that you
can't squeeze much In the way of
additional taxes out of taxpayers who
are already squeezed dry, and in this
Instance It DOES matter, because It
relief needs are to be provided for
more taxes will have to be squeezed
out.
And relief needs MUST be provided
for.
THE governor's special committee
to find ways and means of doing
the squeezing meets In all-day ses
sion, snd decides that liquor will
have to provide about HALF of the
amount needed.
Pair enough. Those who can af
ford liquor can afford to help the
needy.
ewiHE governor committee decides
1 also that betting on horse and dog
racing can stand some more squeez
ing, and recommends quadrupling the
present tax.
In this way. It Is estimated, another
half million csn be raised.
FAIR enough agsln.
If you can afford to bet on the
races, you can afford to help feed the
hungry.
Nobody will contradict that.
M
THE gentlemen who will purvey
hard liquor to the masses when
liquor again becomes legal and the
gentlemen who handle the betting
concessions at the race tracks, both
dog and horse, will offer no objection
to these taxes.
They know that vice, when TAXED
HEAVILY, Is tolerated by respectable
people, and If vice Is to continue and
flourish It MUST be tolerated by re
spectable people.
f
SPEAKING of dog and horse races,
by the way, the dog races hsve
been by far the more popular of the
two In Oregon, drawing the bulk 01
the crowds and getting the bulk ot
the betting.
Can you best thatr
M
BUT getting back to taxes for relief
purpose.
The governor's special committee
proposes a tsx on admissions to prize
fights, wrestling matches and similar
' exhibitions that la to say, a SALES
TAX.
We complain bitterly about sales
taxes that are applied to necessities,
but will probably pay without com
plaint much stlffer sales taxes levied
on our smusements.
We pay willingly, you see, to be
amused, but GRUDGINGLY to be
fed, housed and clothed.
SALLY RAND, who has been enter
tatnlng world's fair audiences at
Chicago with a "fan dance," Is ar
rested, tried for indecent exposure,
convicted and sentenced to serve a
year in jail and pay a heavy fine.
Quite all right, probably. Indecent
exposure la indecent exposure.
But while pretty Sally Rand Is fined
heavily and sent to Jail for dancing
in a costume of drooping ostrich fea
thers, Chicago gangsters by the hun

POLO OHOUNDS. New York, Oct. 3
(AP Carl Hubbel. brilliant Na
tional League southpaw, fanned ten
and allowed but five hits today, as
the Giants knocked Wally Stewart
from the box and whipped the Sena
tors, 4 to 2, before a crowd estimated
At 48.000 In the opening game of the
world series.
With Mel Ott's home run into the
right field stands with Joe Moore on
base, first of four hits the young
Louisiana right fielder made in lead
ing the assault on three Washington
pitchers, sending htm away to a fly
ing start, Hubbell pitched the same
masterful ball that brought him 10
shutouts and 24 victories in the past
season.
Stewart Blasted Loose.
The Giants, after scoring twice In
the first, landed again on Stewart,
the surprise southpaw pitching se
lection of Manager Joe Cronln, and
blasted him out of the game In the
third. Successive singles to right by
Hughie Critz.' Bill Terry and Ott, ac
counted for one run and the de
parture of the left-hander. Jack Rus
sell relieved him with none out, and
allowed another run on an Infield
out.
The Giants failed to score there
after, though they threatened Rus
sell In the fifth, when Ott got his
third straight hit, a single to center
and George Davis fotlowed with a
one-base smash to the same spot.
Travis Jackson , ended the rally by
grounding out. Al Thomas, another
right-hander pitched the eighth after
Russell had given way to a pinch
hitter, and set the Giants down In
order.
To Try Crowfler.
Joe Cronln accounted that he would
start Alvln Crowder, his right hand
star, in an effort to even the series
tomorrow, while Terry will try for two
straight with Hal Schumacher, his
young right-handed sinker ball ex
pert. Total paid attendance was 46,672

VETERANS DIFFER
IN POLICY DRAFT
Four -Point Rehabilitation
Program Near Adoption
by Legion Would Hos
pitalize Vets, Regardless
CHICAGO, Oct. 3. (AP) A four
point rehabilitation program for
World War veterans, differing sharp
ly In one respect from President
Roosevelt's outlined policy, apparently
was a step nearer adoption today by
the annual convention of the Ameri
can Legion.
Despite the president's statement
to the Legion yesterday that veterans
sufferings from ailments incurred
since the war may receive federal hos
pitalization only if their local and
state communities are unable to take
care of them, the Legion's rehabilita
tion committee approved a plan tor
hospital treatment, for all ex-soldiers
of the World War, regardless of when
they were Incapacitated.
Would Hospitalize All
The committee's report, made last
night, said that- "hospitalization
under federal government auspices
should be afforded all veterans not
dishonorably discharged who require
pay for their own treatment.
The other points In the program,
which has been approved by 43 of
the state departments, are:
"That no war veteran disabled In
the line o? duty shall suffer any
reduction of those benefits granted
such ve'erana as in. the World War
veterans' act in effect prior to March
20, 1R33,
VThat perpetuation of service for
al! veterans properly granted aurh
conncrttons under laws In existence
prior to March 20, iS3S, be recom
mended.
Wouid Resume Benefits.
"That benefits provided for de
pendents of veterans as established tn
the World War veterans' act be re
sumed and maintained as the gov
ernment's policy and that In no event
shall widows and dependent children
of deceased war veteran be without
government protection,"
At the same time the committee
tabled resolutions asking an investiga
tion of Gen. Frank T. Hlnea, adminis
trator of veterans' affairs at Wash
ington, but despite this action mem

"Inflation la dynamite; It can be
made to do Just exactly what the
work Intended and do it well. If
properly handled, or will blow up
the entire country if Improperly
handled." C. T. Steward said today
In his Interesting address on "Infla
tion" before the membens of the
Medford Rotary Club. A large turn
out ot Rotarians assembled In the
basement banquet hall of the Med
ford hotel for their weekly luncheon
and enthusiastically received Mr,
Steward's enlightening talk.
Effect of Inflationary activities in
past history were briefly mentioned
by the speaker before delving into his
much-discussed topic.
"In all past depressiona accident
have happened to bring the country
and the world back to normalcy," Mr,
Steward said. In outlining Inventions
and discoveries whtch vitally affected
economic conditions during past
"slumps." "This depression- has not
been so accidentally fortunate. Man
must now create his own accident,
his own solution. This necessitates
experimenting and. the greatest minds
and thinkers are attacking this per
plexing problem.
Roosevelt's greatest single problem
and the one he has been most re
luctant and hesitant to work upon
la Inflation. Mr. Steward told the Ro
tarians. The speaker then quoted
Marc nose, editor of the Business
Week, in hla recent article discussing
this Important problem. He also ex
plained why money caa become ad
denly scarce due to the melting away
of bank credit and pointed out the
serious efforts of such parallel events
i past history.
A touch of humor was given to Mr,
Steward's Inflation talk when he cart
ed the Rotarians attention to the
fact that the total mortgage debt of
Oermany before the war and, after
inflation in that country, this entire
debt could have been paid with ona
American copper cent. Before the
war, Oermany has one and one-half
billion dollars In circulation and, at
the climax of Inflation, a box of
matches would cost that much. A
sheet of paper waa worth 940.00-, tte
