WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. The wiw
boys now Joke about the federal re
serve system ; being, an adjunct of
the bureau of engraving and printing-
Its Importance has actually
v sunk to about that level. . . .
' Within a few months they will be
tittering also at the suggestion that
Ir. Roosevelt should put the -banks
of the country on the federal patron
age Hats. Hts control over them will
be that strong.
Officials naively deny It In public
. but developments every day bring us
nearer and nearer to a centrally-con-,
trolled banking system.
The only question Is' how far It
will go.
Distance.
A trustworthy official suggests that
it will be as strong as the Bank of
England relationship with the British
government. Another likens It -to the
dominating government control prom
ised for public utilities.
Either point may be accepted as
the goal. The administration does
not yet know how far It wll be com
pelled to go, but It Is obviously pre
paring to go further than the bank
ers or the public suspect.
The credit policy Is carrying It far
along the road. The capital money
market Is even now partially con
trolled through the securities act. It
will be further controlled through
1 central credit facilities shortly to be
set up. The deposit Insurance plan
will give all banks an equal footing
under the government thumb, begin
ntng January. 1. .The unfreezing of
assets of closed banks by Trie govern
ment will be a. link In the chain:
Also there is the matter of capital
bank stock to be obtained by the R.
F. C. and the new banking eglslar
tlon now being framed.
Very soon the banks will own the
buildings over their heads, but that
Is about all.
When that time comes, Jesse Jones
will not go to Chicago to tell bank
era what they should do. They will
come to Washington to get their or
ders.
The bankers will howl about this
tats of affairs, but the heavens will
be deaf to their pleas. Mr. Roose-
relfs experience since March 4 . ap
pears to have convinced him that
a new centralized banking system Is
essential to recovery. Tho way the
banks of England and Canada held
up without failures during the de
preaalori was. proof to him that we
The hard time he has had with his
credit and capital financing policies
has strengthened his earlier beliefs.
Mere mention of the word "con
gress" gives Mr. Roosevelt the creeps
these days.
Around the White House they whis
per that the President is much more
worried by the fact that congress
reassembles January 3 than he Is
about anything else.
The official word is being pawed
out that he intends to clean up his
whole relief program before congress
ran get a whack at It. He hopes to
leave them no issue, monetary, fi
nancial or economic.
y For this reason, Mr. Roosevelt's
spokesmen say he nearly died laugli
ing when Postmaster-General Farley
prophesied a special session on liquor.
Nevertheless, such a special session
Is NOT improbable. The 36th state
will complete final action on repeil
December 3. Congress could be called
About December 10 to sit for a- few
-w fiays and then adjourn for the Chrlst
' mas holidays. If the presidential pro
gram is. far enough along to warrant
Mich action.
The heavy sugar papa in the re
finlne Industrv came in on the run
when Agriculture Secretary Wallace
turned down their allotment agree
ment. They buttonholed every officii
they could find. The sugar market
waa going down. They saw mucn
lower prices ahead unless the agree
ment was revived.
Officials declined to be stampeded.
They said they would wait and see.
There is hardly a chance that the1
effort to revive the agreement will
be fuccessful anytime soon.
The administration has had Its fill
of sugAr agreements for the present.
Cold Tea.
The new congresawoman from Ari
zona. Mrs. Greenway. gave a party
for women of the press the other day
and nobody came. At least only two
or three did.
Investigation disclosed that the ha
tel at which she was stopping shooed
all the guest away. . Clerks had re
corded her name wronily. Later !i

FACT MLSHOWN
No Corroboration of Negli
gence in Death of Dahack
During Raid Is Ruling
Case Back to Grand Jury
The demurrer to the Indictment
charging Joe Cave, city policeman,
charged with involuntary man
nlaughter, as the result of the death
of Everett Dahack, during the pro
gress of a raid on a Reese creek still
in November, 1930, was sustained by
Circuit Judge H. D. Norton this morn
ing.
The court said it would refer the
case to the next grand Jury, and
jtve them special Instructions there-
ine court, neia ii ine evidence
Justified an indictment, the two prev
ious grand Jurys would have return
ed it.
The demurrer was sustained upon
the grounds that it did not state suf
ficient facts, alleging negligence, but
not stating what the negligence was.
The court commented that this angle.
the stating of an allegation of negli
gence, - without corroboration, was
probably what deterred the previous
grand Juries in not returning indict
ments. The grand Jury that return
ed the Indictment was headed by W.
T, Orleve of Prospect, as foreman. A
regular and special grand Jury prev
iously Inquired Into the case, but re
turned no true bill.
Hanks, Fehl Witnesses
The defense in its demurrer motion,
charged that L. A. Banks, now send
ing life sentence" in state prison for
murder, and E. H. Fehl, serving four
years for ballot burglary, ' appeared
before the. grand Jury, as witnesses,
but their-namea were not attached
to -the -indictment,, as required by
law. ' -
The two former local ' agitators,
from their prison cells, made affidav
its that they were not witnesses." Mrs.
Edith L. Petto.:, secretary of the so
called "Grieve grand Jury." and 0. L.
Knight, a member, made affidavit,
that Fehl and Banks both appeared
in the grand jury room, "might have
talked about the Cave case,", but
nothing they said was considered as
evidence. Most of the session, Fehl
and Banks, or one , of the latter's
henchmen, were appearing before the
grand Jury almost hourly, with a de
mand for indictments. Both Fehl
and Banks testified at the Banks
murder trial, they had contacts that
gave them Information on the grand
Jury work dally. Banks was indicted
for criminal libel and criminal syndi
calism at the same time the Cave in
dictment was returned.
Never Explained
Dahack, a well-known resident of
the Eagle Point district, was found
dead beside a mash barrel following
a raid ou a Reese creek still. No
satisfactory explanation waa ever un
earthed, as to just how the tragedy
occurred. Charges were bandied about
by Fohl and Banks. Two grand Juries
investigated. The case became a pol
itical football. Fehl accused Game
Warden Roy Parr of firing the fatal
shot. Parr won a libel verdict, which
unleased a torrent of unreasoning
prejudice and hates from Banks and
Fehl, through tnetr campaign
speeches and articles. "The Dahack
case" seethed Tor weeks. The action
where It started its perplexing ang
of the court today, puts it back about
les still unsolved, as far as the gen
eral public knows.

GERMANY INSISTS
S
Hint Withdrawal From Con
ference and League if
'Attempt Made to Impose
Wishes of Other Powers
GENEVA" Switzerland, Oct. 13.
(AP) A German spokesman said to
day any attempt to haul up Germany
and ask her to sign on -the -dotted
line on a disarmament decision. Im
posed by others "Will be followed by
the withdrawal of the Germans from
the conference and perhaps from the
League of Nations. , , ,
The spokesman voiced the belief
Germany would 'remain Ln the -con
ference if allowed to negotiate on the
basis of equality, but that the na
tion -refuses to be treated as a partici
pant shorn of all initiative.
Admits Situation Grave.
Admitting the gravity of the situa
tion, he said he rebelled against alle
gations that Germany is seeking to
rearm when all she wants Is a few de
fensive armaments in order to begin
the suitable equipment of a trans
formed relchswehr (army.) -.
The .spokesman said: "We do not
want to rearm. We merely want some
weapons, the number of which aae
to be negotiated.
"While other nations have been
arming up to the strength authorized
by treaty, it has eVen been hinted to
us that we cannot have the full num
ber of arms of the type authorized by
the Versailles' treaty."
Appeal to Americans,
;. .He. concluded. . with, an, appeal to
the American people not to permit
the powers to dictate to Germany,
saying that thls would only aggra
vate the political situation.
Dr. Rudolf Nadolny, German repre
sentative who left Geneva last night
for Berlin, Is expected tb return Sunday.-
The Italian delegates today unof
ficially suggested Premier Mussolini
as a mediator In the tangled arms
problems.
Dr. Nadolny will confer in Berlin
with his chief, Chancellor Adolf Hit
ler. The German circles here said
they expected President von Hlnden
burg, as commander-in-chief of the
neichsewhr (this German standing
army), to share with the chancellor
the responsibility of deciding Ger

Wide Open Selling in County
. Leads to Traffic Acci
dents Speci"! Legisla
ture Needed to Act
A distressing pictutu of the present
situation In the state of Oregon and
the county of Jackson, ln respect to
liquor regulation, waa drawn today
by Justice of the Peace W. R. Cole
man, responding to an invitation to
voice the court's attitude regarding
violations, claimed by the Medford
public, following the wreck early
Wednesday morning in which A. J.
White met death, returning from a
local road house.
"The cause of such violations must
be removed," Judge Coleman stated,
declaring that the county court
ahould be given power to tax such
places and to close them up, if they
are not conducted in a proper man
ner.
Laws Needed
If there ever was a time when a
special session of the Oregon legisla
ture should be called, that time Is
now," Judge Coleman further declar
ed, emphasizing his contention that
some provision must be made for
regulation of Intoxicating liquor out
side the Jurisdiction of cities.
At the present time, he continued,
the county is wide open, and no one
is realising any revenue from the
liquors sold at roadhouscs.
State police control begins when
Vie drinkers appear on the highway.
They can arrest the drunken drivers,
the court can fine them, but what
good is th&t going to do, the Judge
asked as long as the road house are
allowed to continue. "The county
county court should be allowed to
go out and close their doors. They
are nothing but country saloons and
they are getting money from a lot
of young people who haven't cash to
pay Vioir honest bills."
Favors Home L'se
Answering the question of "After
Prohibition, What?" Judge Coleman
recommended the establishment of
liquor houses, where intoxicating bev
erages can be bought and taken home
for drinking. People who can't serve
liquor ln their own homes, he added,
should do without It.
The law should be demanding and
should be enforced to the last letter,
he stated, when one la drawn up.
If any place la found operating with
out license it should be forced to buy
one or close its doors, and If ono is
found operating ln an offensive man
ner the county court, Judge Coleman
maintained, should be empowered to
revoke the license and to close the
doors.
Will Draw Picture
If a special session of the legisla
ture Is called, and one must be soon
If any regulation Is to be accom
pllshed, Mr. Coleman stated, he plans
to go before the session to draw
picture of the situation as It exist
.here, to stress the need for a law
which will permit the county to gov
ern and to real 1m revenue from the
liquor consumption.

REPORT TO 1. G. G.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (fl) The
Interstate commerce commission was
urged todsy by M. S. Jameson, exam
iner, to deny sn application of the
California and Oregon Coast Railroad
company for permission to build 82
miles of railroad from Waters creek,
Ore., to Crescent City, Cal.
Jameson said the road would run
parallel most of its length to a fine
public highway. He said estimates
of the population and number of
square miles the Hne would serve ara
excessive.
The railroad would be an extension
of a line started In 1913. The or
iginal plan was to build a road from
Grants.. pass. Ore., to Crescent City.
Fifteen miles of the. line have bean
constructed."
Grants Pans built the first 10 miles
of the line through an Issue of $200,
000 In bonds. In 1018 the property
was deeded to the company under a
contract requiring the company to
construct certain new lines within
specified periods of time. Under the
contract an additional five miles was
built and a considerable sum expend
ed to rehabilitate the first segment.
But the company waa unable to
finance the remainder and last sum
mer applied for a reconstruction loan
of $5,718,885, and later sought a pub

The road connects with the South

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.,
Oct. 12. Varioiu groups have
arisen to sorter gnaw at ths
old IJnmocraliu party's heels.
Now I don't want to cause un
due worry at a time like this,
but I do want to call your at-.
tention to another eloud iu the
ky. Since iiiiUinm weather has
set in and the leaves have be
gun to fall you can see quite a
few Republicans that have heen
hiding in the trees; a few more
than last year.
On the banks of the Wabash
the . other day Jim , Watson
climbed right out on a syca
more limb in plain view, (bra
zenly, mind you) and started
chirping. I discovered Ambas
sador Edge out here yesterday
traveling under his own name
(for the first time in s year).
All this is not a good omen and
I think the uprising should be
put down immediately. You
know how ignorant pnoplo are'
to join some fad.
Yours,
MAX.
