M.V.I.
He Plays a Lone Hand
IF, as has been frequently stated, President Roosevelt wants to
keep Wall Street and the big money boys guessing, he has
certainly accomplished it, in his pronouncement on gold.
No one on Wall Street, or anywhere else, seems to know,
precisely what the president has in mind. Even the U. S. Treas
ury department refuses to comment, and members of the brain
trust also have nothing to say.
To a man up a tree it appears that in this action, the presi
dent is literally playing a lone hand. He has sent up a trial
balloon, and intends to keep his own counsel, until he sees what
direction that balloon is to take.
If it goes in one way, be will do one thing; if it goes another
way he will do another. It is a part of his program of "trial
and error." His future course will depend entirely upon future
developments.
President Roosevelt assumes all the responsibility and keeps
all the cards in his own hand.
No action since the 4th of March, more clearly shows the
president's courage, self confidence and powers of genuine
leadership.
Will the Gold Plan Work?
1VJ0T that the theory upon which the president is acting, is not
plain but the important
just how the president intends
the big money boys would like to know. That is what, to date,
they can't find out. The suspicion is perhaps justified that the
president doesn't want them to find out. It is even possible the
president doesn't know himself.
The president's main plan, of course, is to secure dollar de
valuation by degrees, through bidding up the price of gold in
the open market. The theory behind this idea is to make dollars
buy less gold. That gives dollars less value in terms of gold.
When dollars have less value in terms of gold, they will have
less value in everything else. That makes prices rise generally,
which is what the administration is after.
OUT will it work that wayt It should. But with the world
in its present economic confusion and financial dislocation,
experience has shown, that what SHOULD happen, DOESN'T
always happen.
Following the president's pronouncement there was no great
rush to buy stocks, for example. When last April, this country
went off the gold standard there was a rush to buy. The prob
able answer is that Wall Street KNEW what going off the gold
standard meant, but doesn't know what "progressive dollar
devaluation" DOES mean. They have apparently decided to wait
a while and find out.
CO that is the present situation. What will happen only the
J future will disclose. But if this gold oontrol plan doesn't
work, then the administration will certainly promptly charge it
off to experience and try something else.
The most apparent thing about President Roosevelt is that
that ho never quits and he has somothing in reserve all the time.
If one thing doesn't work, something else is tried.
It is this combination of persistence, resourcefulness and
daring, which to the present writer at least, is the best augury,
that he will succeed in pulling this country out of the slough
of despond, and eventually return it to normal peace and pros
perity again.
Support the Gleemen
TPHB Civic Musio association will not sponsor a series of con-
oerts during the coming year.
All musio lovers will regret this. The community concerts
have been a genuine treat throughout Southern Oregon, but gen
eral business conditions do not seem to warrant their continu
ance. W. P. Isaacs, president of the association, in announcing
this action urges members of the association to give their sup
port to the Medford Gleemen not only to provide local oonoerts
during the ooming season, but to assure the oontinuance of the
plan of giving programs at the various granges throughout the
county.
This is an excellent suggestion. Supporting the gleemen will
bring the rural districts oloser to Medford, and Medford closer
to the rural districts. Resulting contacts will promote a better
feeling and closer understanding throughout Southern Oregon,
which is greatly to be dosired.
The Mail Tribune gladly endorses the plan, and urges not
only all members of the association, but the neonle of this

California Again Coming Into
Own With Repeal of Dry
Law On Horizon Much
Brandy Waiting Release
LOS ANGELES. (UP) California
wines, world-famous before prohibi
tion, are again ooming Into their own,
Out In the district between Ontario
and San Bernadlno lies 15,500 acres
of the world's finest grapes, now be
ing harvested. Perhaps 80 per cent
of the total are wine grapes, the bal
ance being for table use.
Southern California has always been
conceded the palm In the prod uc ting
of sweet wines, veteran vintners
pointed out today, but the growers of
the Cucamonga-Guastl district still
are unwilling to concede that central
and northern California raise the fin
est dry wines.
Won French Prlzei.
Joseph Aime, superintendent of the
Italian Vineyard Co. at Ouastl, re
called to the United PreM that Call
fornla wines, after being disqualified
on a technicality, were adjudged the
finest vintage entered In the Paris
exposition in 1900.
The disqualification by the French
Judges, he eald, was because the
Golden State's wines bore the "mis
leading" labels of Sauterne type, Bur
gundy type, Moselle type wines the
French claimed were peculiar to
tl ose particular districts of France,
The Italian Vineyard Co., founded
by Secundo Guastl, incidentally owns
the largest single vineyard in the
world, 5000 acres.
Huge Supply on Hnnd.
In Its Immense storage vats, hold
ing more than 0,000.000 gallons, are
wines loved by the connoisseur Sau
terne. Chablla and Riesling among
the white vintages: Burgundy, claret
and Zlnfandel In. the red dry wines,
and port, sherry, Muscatel and An
gelica among the sweet wines.
Thousands of gallons dally are now
being crushed. Steady streams of
"vln rouge" pour from Immense fire
hoses Into fermenting vats, where
sugar content and temperature are
measured several times each day.
"Works" Fast.
Within a week fermentation has
ceased and the wine Is' pumped
through miles of pipe and hose into
the storage tanks.
The residue at the bottom of the
tanks is destroyed In the presence of
Inspectors of the Interna revenue
bureau, for every gallon of wine
manufactured must be accounted for
and the tax paid accordingly.
When Fruit Industries, Inc., - was
organized by the federal farm board
to aid the grape grower In dispos
ing of surplus crops, millions or gai
lonea of concentrate were manufac
tured for sale at retail.
The demand declined with the de
pression, and the Italian Vineyard
Co., for one, found Itself with more
than a million gallons of concentrate
on hand.
Brandy Aging.
All was not lost. The last of the
concentrate has been distilled Into
brandy and 1.000.000 gallons of It
now repose In government bonded
warehouses, where It must age for
the next four years.
And while the brandy Is under seal
for lengthy periods, It still Is a tre
mendous asset to the vlneyardist.
Banks will loan sums on the ware
house receipts to keep the wineries
going.
There are five wineries In the Cucamonga-Guastl
district handling the
lfl.500 acres of grapes. The second
largest la the Val Brothers plant,
with a capacity of 1.600.000 galloAs.
For those who like champagne,
there la plenty on hand for sale,
vlneyardlsts hope, around Christmas
time. In a huge underground vault,
the Italian Vineyard Co. has 00.000
bottles of the sparkling beverage,
much of It 10 years or more old.

SPECIAL SESSION
LILY 10 BALK
AT TAXLEVYING
Rumbles of Revolt Are Al
ready Heard From Up
state Solons Against Gov
ernor Committee Program
By DENNIS LANDBT
United Press Staff Correspondent.
8TATE HOUSE, SALEM. Ore. (UP)
It will take a lot of finesse by
Governor Meter or anyone ilse to get
Oregon's legislators to levy a crop of
new taxes at the special legislative
session next month. '
Already, there are rumblings of re
volt by upstate legislators against a
big taxation program such as sug
gested by the governor's "brain trust
of 32."
Committee Itself Split.
Skirmishes of the committee dem
onstrated futility of any program In
volving a large amount of new reve
nue. The committee Itself was split
widely as to relief needs. It had
varied ways and means to raise
money.
One group of the Meier committee
believes $12,000,000 will be necessary
for relief; another portion says $4,
500.000 taxes will suffice.
' Principal means of raising the
money suggested by the committee
would range from levying liquor taxes
to boosting automobile. Income and
Inheritance taxes, or passing so-called
luxury taxes.
Liquor Tax Needed.
While there probably won't be any
fight against setting a reasonable
liquor tax, there are strong indica
tions that It will run the gauntlet
of attack by other Interests before
being saved intact for unemployment
relief. County courts, beset with a
problem of financing the old age pen
sion act beginning January 1, are
casting longing eyes at this proposed
revenue as a solution to that prob
lem. At best, the liquor assessment
would raise but $2,500,000, far short
of the lowest estimate by the Meier
committee. Some legislators have In
dicated that they would flatly refuse
to vote for any new tax except on
liquor.
There la an organized opposition
to raising the automobile fees. The
licenses were reduced to IS a year at
the last regular session, In reply to an
insistent demand on part of motor
ists. Any increase at this time would
no doubt be construed as a breach
of faith, and would be followed by
referendum and its probable defeat
at the polls.
Luxury Tax Disliked.
Many legislators do not favor Im
paling the so-cnlled luxury taxes,
because they smack too much of the
snles tax, so overwhelmingly defeated
by the people.
Hiking the Inheritance and Income
taxes, especially In the higher brack
ets, are favored by the farmer groups
of both houses.
