The best financial advisory service told Its cus tomera confidentially last week that the conservative phase of the new deal was over. It prophesied the expansion of stronger socialistic policies from now on. That Is only half of It. The new deal appears to have un dergone a complete transition on the inside during the past two weeks. It Is NOT discernible to the naked eye. Officials are trying to gloss It over. They are announcing alterations In policy piecemeal. They want to make It look as If they had these things In mind all the time. Actually the transition appears to be a fundamental change in basic strategy. It la a new deal. NBA Tou can see It in the new NRA policy. The original mistake of trying to get every crossroads grocery into the scheme has been rectified In the new retail code. The blue eagle no longer Blanket the country. Its talons cling only to towns of more than 3.500 population and to merchants employ ing more than five persons. There Is one exception. That is the chain store. It means the NBA is no longer all for one and one for all. It Is one for the big fellow, and all for the little fellow. Farm The same thing has happened on the Inside of the farm program. A .trr,nr.ir nrlm boosting POllCT is being effected with even smoother guile. . v..vt ncro the officials an nounced they would make 10 cent loans on cotton, men aemng miuw ...... Tf. nam NOT .

Tne same auma Then came hints that perhaps simi lar loans would be maae on osai. peanuts, beans and dairy products. The truth is that behind these in dividual helpful steps is a concerted rew movement to raise the price of ALL farm product through making loans on them above the prevailing market price. It cannot be concealed much long er. The next announcement will prob ably admit it. whllhpp Anyone with half an eye open csn see where we are being . . - i. .... rlarrmininff the ine oooad ,u, - course Mr. Roosevelt Is charting Is trial and error.

A new word Is needed to de scribe it. The best probably would be: TtOOSEVELTISM." That seems to mean a very prac ttcal and restrained radicalism which Is something Webster 'unabridged' neyer thought of and Punk and Wag- ... V. . . J Af nans nriei iv. It has no limits or doctrines, but onl.v, an objective. Mr. Roosevelt was very conservative .limt.inn at the etsrt. The value of the free moving dollar abroad was as low as o.i ttn .... weeks before the President took hold of It by bidding up gold prices. ever It wss 69.4 cents the day before he started. His first gold bid wss equivalent to devaluing the dollar to 3 9. The second Md brought the dol lar down to a theoretical value of 65 6 and the third to 85.1. H has very craftily concealed his objective but the smart boys think thev have figured It out. They predict a 50-cent dollar about ftiveniber 20. They do not believe Mr Poosevelt will try to bid It any lower than that thrown the go'.d price me dium. If that level falls to bring the price objective he desire", then hf probably will take other means. "ford There are inner indications thst ' Oneral Johnson Is being physically held away from Henry Ford like a bulldog on a leash. ApnarentW the leash Is In the hsnds of the President. At the White House there seems t, be considerable respect to ford's standing and popu Isrlty in certain sections of the coun try. A'.l signs indicate the administra tion w".l NOT back down, but that It will proceed with extra caution so as to he sure of its ground. It cannot afford to make a mistake.

Oct. 30. (AP) Mandamus proceedings to compel enforcement of all provisions of the bus and truck law were filed In circuit court here today by Pierce Auto Freight Inc., and 34 other companies. The plaintiffs asked that State Utilities Commissioner C. M. Thomas desist from Issuing temporary per mits. Also that he start proceedings to collect from carriers who have been operating since the law went into effect, but who have not been paving fees required by the statute. Circuit Judge L. O. Lewelllng granted an order making the writ returnable Monday afternoon. Novem ber 13. The petitioners allege that con tract carrier permits are being issued without posting or required bonds and without securing required In demnity Insurance. The petition states that no tem porary permits shall be granted. The petition further points out that the law provides anyone who violates, procures, aids or abets In such vio lation shall be guilty of a misde meanor. The petition was filed by Ralph J. Staehll, manager of the Allied Truk association. Staehll declared that the state has already lost $300,000 by Thomas' failure to en force the law, and that a total of $500,000 will have been lost by the time the moratorium proclaimed by Thomas has expired. A further suit to collect these losses from Thomas' bondsmen will be filed soon, Staehll said. TOMSCHECK OUT REST OF SEASON CORVALLIS. Ore.. Oct. 30.

(Associated Press Photo OLD AGE PENSION TOUT BETTER Jackson county, like Its southern Oregon slater counties "of Josephine and Klamath, has made no provision In Its budget for the Old Age Pension law passed by the last legislature, and effective January 1, next. Only a few of the counties of the state have tak en steps for observance, because of financial stringency and tax delln quency. The budget committee, tentatively listed $5000 for the old age pension, to show good Intentions. Figures compiled by the budget committee show that the old age pen slon would cost Jackson county ap proximately 180,000 per year. With a tax delinquency of 11,848.809 and a $52,000 deficiency incurred through the county commissary operation last winter, and the "turmoil trial" ex. pense, providing such a sum seems as impossible. It was concluded It vaa the better part of business discretion and economy, to await more prosper ous days to pay old age pensions. Operation of the county poor farm now costs $7,290.88 per year, and has 18 inmates over 70 years of age. The 1930 United States census shows 1,724 people in Jackson county o7er the age of 70 years. The budget com mlttee estimatd 1,500 applications for old age pensions would be filed, and that 750 would be eligible. The average pension per month was estl mated at $20. Between 400 and 500 letters have been received by the county court, see'klng information on the old age pension law. Po5!b!y half this num ber have called in person. No pension application blanks have been issued for some time as none have been is sued from alem, when it became known that a majority or me conn ties were in no financial shape to abide bv the new law. The forthcoming ape11 session of the legislature is expected to amend the o'.d ae pension law, extend its date of effectiveness, and make other chanzea. The law now provides fcr 15 years residence in the state, and two years In the county, and age minimum of 70 years, with a property exemption un to $3000. The California old age pension law requires 30 years residence in the I state, and five veara in the county. ! The recently adopted California I salea tax. vleldlna $32,000,000 per y '. in revenue, is expected to absorb the j pension payments, as It now absorbs a coodlY nortlon or tne ecnooi i About the same time Oregon rejecwi the sales tax, California adopted one BURGLARS ENTER City police were today Investigating , the robbery of the Stearns grocery on the Pacific highway, south, and the burglary of the Montgomery Ward atore on South Central avenue, both of-which occurred last night.

By the Assorlatert Press Stocks were given a momentary flurry on the New York Stock exchange and the dollar dropped In value abroad as President Roose velt's plsn to buy gold on the world market met varying reactions in the leading capitals. The American dollar closed In Lon don at $4.79 In relation to the British pound, a drop of Tt cents. At the low price of the day. 4.83. the dollar was down more than 10 cents. The London Herald expressed the belief that foreign Interests were tak ing means to oppose the American president's monetary plan, hinting that the Bank of Englaid and the Bank of Prance had Joined to buy dollars, thus counteracting any sharp drop of the American currency abroad. French See Hanger . French financial interests foresaw danger to the gold supply of the Bank or France. Paul Reynaud, former fi nance minister, talked of a limited gold embargo, while one newspaper came out for a complete shutting off. The American dollar closed there at H.15 francs against 17.26 francs Sat urday. This was a cent's equivalent per franc of 5.0023 against 5.78. Financial Interests at Amsterdam believed inflation was next for Amer ica, with a heavy dollar drop expect ed. While the price of gold waa un changed there, the American dollar went to 1.63 guilders from the week end close of 1.684. Up 14 Cents Today The day's price in Washington was $31.96. 14 cents up and a new high, while the world figure sot In London was boosted from $30.44 to $31.49. New York financial interests were described as not surprised at the world buying move, regarding It as a natural step, with some circles view ing the possibility of a currency war which might bring an end to the In ternational gold standard. Great Britain, these financiers be lieved, might be forced to compete for gold if the dollar drops abruptly. In Washington, the plan was seen as In furtherance of what was be lieved President Roosevelt's desire to first Increase and then control the world price level of the previous metal, all leading to the oventful goal of a managed currency without Its dally wild gyrations.

Canadian System Of Pack age Purchases Gains Favor Return Of Saloon Mot Wanted By Any State By II. Allen Smith United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright 1933 by United Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 30. (UP) With repeal of the 18th amendment appar ently only a matter of weeks, execu tive and legislative bodies of the various states are concerning them selves with liquor control problems, with Indications that the Canadian system of package purchases will be most popular throughout the country a United Press survey showed today. While several states are without any liquor laws at present, there Is ample indication that none will be without some form of legal machinery by the time repeal becomes a fact. The tendency In most sections Is to set up some form of control which will prevent return of the saloon. Ten Adopt Control Ten states already have adopted new liquor control laws, five will re vert to pre-prohlbltlon statutes unless new laws are adopted, and the four without laws all have commissions working on regulation plans. The situation in each of the 48 states follows: Alabama To vote on state bone dry law November 7th with little prospect of repeal. Arizona Control plan, similar to Canadian system, with liquor licenses to be Issued only to persons of good character, la being worked out. Tax commission Is given wide discretion ary power for control of hard liquor. Arkansas Statewide prohibition law makes even beer illegal, though some system of local option Is being urged. California Systen? of package salen , for off-premlsea consumption, with no saloons permitted Is provided In new control law passed last spring, contingent on repeal. Beer and wines may be served only with meals at hotels and restaurants. Tax question Is unsettled. Colorado Lestslature to devise new control laws after repeal, with senti ment sharply against return of the saloon. Connecticut Slate enforcement law will be repealed automatically by repeal of the 18th Amendment. Hard liquor will be sold only In scaled con tainers for home consumption, and wines and beers only with meals at hotels and restaurants. Do In ware Liquor to be sold In packages through groceries, delicates sen stores, hotels and clubs, with nn prcmlsea consumption permitted In hotels, reau rants and clubs. Florida Will vote on county option amendment to state enforcement laws next month. , Oeorgia No aclon taken on repeal, with little likelihood of any. Idaho The state dry law, prohibit ing all but 3.2 beer, remains un changed in the event of national re peal. Illinois State liquor control com mission Is preparing a program for submlasion to the legislature, with sentiment favoring ths package sale system. Indiana Liquor control will prob ably be handled under the beer con trol laws.

(AP) Most of the country's retail stores with millions of employees began putting Into operation today the sin gle compact applying equal standards of trade honesty and fair competition to alt. . Officials regarded this NRA retail code as the greatest experiment In the Industrial recovery program, and the start of its operation shared at tention with big problems of the day. Chief of these was up at the White House. President Roosevelt Invited the steel Industry's leaders to tell him why they had not worked out for their coal mines the labor agree ment which he demanded three weeks ago. With this session, ths president ex pected to establish definitely whether the steel men proposed to accept all of his Industrial program including the portion they liked least or to challenge his authority and force a test of the law's constitutionality. Hugh 8. Johnson, recovery admln Isrator, waited ths out-come to decide definitely upon a plan for starting almost Immediately on a westward tour of the country. He wants to make several speeches directed at what he considers misunderstandings of the Industrial program, and to ob serve conditions at first hand. The question of Henry Ford's com pliance with the automobile code was temporarily shelved, pending action on government motor contracts, establishment of Ford's intention In regard to filing required data with the national automobile chamber of commerce, and revelations of his atti tude on dealing with strikers at his Rdgewater, New Jersey, assembly plant. 4 1250 Couples Wed In Duce's Program To Populate Italy ROME.
