The Inner coterie of soothsayers have Mr. Roose Telfs money policy a,U figured out As tney see It. the president Is proving to be his own best financial adviser. They think he has looked I Just a little furtler ahead at the situation than the muddled experts who swarm about him. These seers are betting their money that tha president will NOT do any thing more Important about the cur- rencv before contress meets. Then he will be able to play each con. gresstonal money faction against the other and get the soundest solution out of all of them. They do not guarantee that pre diction, but they can now see, for the first time, how it would be wise and sensible. Solution It la such a simple solution that the smart boys wonder why they Eever thought of It. The Inflationists have been agitat ing for one course. The devaluation ists have been demanding another. The silver bloc has been pulling for lta pet theories. And the alarmists have been running around crying about what congress would do when It convenes. Any course Mr. Roosevelt might choose now would put him on the defensive against congress. He mlgh1 have trouble holding the polltlcil bulls In line If he takes them by the horns. If ,he keeps a rein on them he csn guide them. These- expectations have calmed down the more sensible agitators here. They have begun to recall that patience Is a virtue. Also that head long plunging will sooner or later bring you to a stone wall. Heads-up strategy may get you around It. Plans Mr Roosevelt's own personal plans for the next two months have not een announced, but they tend to confirm the expectations of the Soothsayers He expects to spend two weeks In the south, during the latter part of this month. He probably will go to Hyde Park for a. week or ten days at Christmas time. That means he may be In Washington only half the time between now and when con gress meets In January. Retreat x The president's home at Hyde Park to a hideaway. No president has tver had one quite like it. The press remains at his office in poughkeepsle, five miles from his house. Amoving people! including government officials, cannot get near him. Similarly he can call In as many men as he wants to see pri vately without having his probable Intentions spread all over the coun try. For 1 nst a nee .he could have Milo Reno or John D. Rockefeller in for lunch and no one would Jjc the wiser. That Is why he likes Hyde Tark po much. Silver The silver agitators have been hot the last few days. They passed the tip around In Wall Street Monday that a 60 or 80-cent silver price was coming shortly. The trouble with their tips Is that all of them have been wrong in the past. The flow of news on that subject Indicates very clearly that there is considerable speculation In the sil ver market and certain Interests are encouraging it with rumors probably for their own private gain. They have cried wolf so often that tven if they had ft good tip, no one t would believe it. . Debt ?iose closest to the British debt negotiations say the effects to be ex pected from failure are being highly exaggerated. Th insiders knew from the first that agreement was almost out of the question in view of exist ing international monetary condi tions. The time was not ripe. Both the British officials and our own au thorities realized it. That Is why the British sent over Sir Frederick Kelth Foss Instead of one of the cabinet member. Consequently the disappointment richer up is NOT nearly so keen fts surface reports sucgest. Senators on the stock market com mittee double up In laughter when they tell the one about the burglars who broke Into a New York citjj home. The two enterprising flash light mm contemplated a big haul because the hoxiao was massive. They work ed themselves up to the door of the safe. There they found they were in the hrtme of a certain securities banker. They read his name on the safe. They recalled his senate testi mony abut hew .he sold bonds in tha mad days of 19'9.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8. (AP) Liquor may legally be sold In 19 states when the last step In repeal of the 18th amendment Is taken In December. The states are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin.

The eighteenth amendment was voted out of the constitution In off year election yesterday that also .brought Democratic losses of mayor ships in New York city and Cleve land, but gains for that party in other sections.

Its neighbor ing state, South Carolina, also was placed in the arid area by a close ballot. Kentucky, the sixth state to vote on the Issue, began tabulating bal lots today, as required by state law. Repeallsts confidently predicted, how ever, that the blue grafts state had Joined with the other 36. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah hold their ratifying conventions on De cember 5. If Kentucky voted repeal. national prohibition will end on that date, because that state's convention Is on November 27.

Tomorrow night Mr. Roosevelt and M. Lltvlnoff meet for another dis cussion. . Pear Markets NEW YORK, Nov. 8. (AP) (U. 8. D. A.)

PORTLAND. Ore., Nov. 8. (AP) A j revival of the national prohibition ' party will be undertaken at once in Oregon, as well as in other states, It was declared here today by W. M. Heacock of Portland, provisional state chairman of the party.

McCOOK. Neb., Nov. 8. (AP) Senator George W. Norrls today saw much to regret in the repeal of pro hibition.

Cuba, Nov. 8 (API- Rebels seeking the overthrow of the Grau government appeared to have taken a new lease on life this after noon despite the administration's an nouncement that all was well after fighting in which It waa estimated 20 were killed and 50 wounded. Colonel Fulgenclo, army chief of staff, gained two victories over the rebels during the day, but the dis sidents still dominated a large part of the city, claiming, apparently cor rectly, that they held control of sev eral police stations and the San Am broslo, Dragones, Atares and Do La Fuerza garrisons. The first victory of Colonel Ba tista's forces over the rebels was in routing the rebellious aviation corps at Camp Columbia, w.here the move ment was Initiated by an airplane flight by Oulllcrmo Martull, former air captain. 70PEW0F CHEST ATTAINED ON SECOND DAY With 70 per cent of the Com munity Chest goal for 1933 real ized today, the second day of the drive, Frank Hull, general chair man, this afternoon asked that all persons who havo not been con tacted phono headquarters at the Chamber of Commerce. However small the donation a solicitor will call. The co-operation of each and every citizen Is needed in this rampaicn to relieve human needs. A grand finale will be staged to morrow in the Community Chest drive and 30 workers are needed at an early hour to complete the cam paign. It was announced tills niter noon at headquarters. Thursday is the third day of the drive, and in keeping with the original plans out lined for the canvass of the city, it will be the last. Seventy per cent of the goal had been realized today without report from outside districts. Workers who give their time tomorrow, will not be cslled upon again, as the cam paign will positively be closed Thurs day. Workers, who can participate to morrow, are asked to call at head quarters at the chamber of commerce as early as possible. No more de manna will be made on their time. There are 35 workers in the field today and it is very necessary that the drive be carried -n to a successful completion tomorrow. The Idea of this year's program is "work, while you work and complete the Job." There will be no fringes hanging over the main seams when the books are closed tomorrow night. Over 000 pledges hsd been obtained today, the number Illustrating well the willingness of all classes of peo ple to give. Medford has never fallen short of her goal In worthy cause, leaders of the drive emphasized to day, expressing their faith In the public's response this year. With all volunteer workers In the field it has been impossible for the campaign to reach every door when the family Is home, so those who have been missed are urged to call head quarters at the chamber of commerce, that the Community Chet seal may be shining ln every window, when the campaign closes tomorrow night, "dive but once; give for all" is the slogan, and it Is hoped that every citi zen will find It possible to respond In some way to the call. Additional firms contributing 100 per eer-t to the drive were listed to day as follows: Medford Mall Trib une, Commercial Printing company Hunt's Craterlan, M. M. Dept. Store California Oregon Power company a corporation, Jackson county court house. Pay'n Taklt. C. B, Gates rifrs. J, C. Penney and company Wool NELSON RESIGNS AFTER BARRAGE FROM UNjVERSITY PORTLAND, Nov. 8. ) Roscoe 2. Nelson today resigned from the state board of higher education of which he was chairman. His action, taken late in the after noon, followed an entire day of seri ous deliberation in which he weighed all the factors In the controversy which broke at University of Oregon last Saturday. At that time Wayne L. Morse, dean of the university law school, criticized Nelson severely for ad dresses he hnd made at Eugene and Corvallls. This action was followed bv a vote by the university faculty calling upon the board president to quit. 4 Why I Favor The Chest The splendid first-day response on the part of Medford men and women to the plea for Community Chest funds elves a new faith In the good citizenship of people here. Although we are nenrlng the goal of the Chest drive, it is eentlal that we continue to give until the campaign is det inltely 'over the top." In my opinion, the Community Chest offers an excellent medium for assembling and distributing funds for much-needed local welfare and character-building activities. The Chest campaign eliminates duplica tion of effort by taking the place of scores of "drives" and Community Chest funds are alocated to organlr-a tions best fitted to provide maximum benefits from every dollar con tributed. C. A. MFTFKER, Proprietor, M. M. Department Store COMMUNITY CHEST Members of the Community Chest board receive no salaries for their services. It was announced today by Eugene Thorndike, chairman of the board. In response to several rumors reported about town. The members receive no compensation of any type In carrying on the Community Chest work, and are paid nothing for oper ating expenses. Their work is strictly volunteer. All reports to the contrary are er roneous, as no salaries and no type of compensation have been provided for this use.

Pay Boost Objected To The 1034 budget for Jackson coun ty, as framed by the budget com mittee, waa adopted with but two dissenting votes at the public hear ing held In the court house audi torium this morning. Close to 75 taxpayers from all sections of the county were present. The motion for the adoption of the budget was voiced by William B. Grieve of Pros pect and seconded by Miss Mildred Carlton. The main objections centered around a salary Increase amounting to 82000 for county office help. The general fund Is 841,000, or l'4 milts,; higher than last year, due to the: lawlessness cost, revenue decline and relief for the poor Increase. Pipes Hopeful. The ftnal time Mr. Pipes got on his feet, after the arguments were over, he said: "Nobody ever accused me of being a poor sport. The majority has vot ed for the budget approvel, and you will hear no more .howling out or me. The salary Increase may be in the spirit of the times and the NRA Mr. Hoover called prohibition a no ble experiment, and now It is in ths discard. I voted for Hoover, but am for President Roosevelt. I hope God will help him In making the NRA a success. George Iverson protested increases in salaries and the various funds. Eugene Thorndike advised Mr. Iver son that the "salary Increase amounts to 35 or 40 cents In your taxes." Chairman Alenderfer informed Mr, Iverson hat a mills of the Increase was due to Jackson county getting what It voted for, and that can't be changed now." Chairman Alendorfer said the pay raises made one- seventh of one-tenth of a mill, and that's not much to worry about." Sales Tax Only Hope After the meeting Mr. Iverson com mented: "The only hope of the tax naver Is the sales tax." W. N. (Wild Bill) Carle of the Applegate was present and asked one question. "They crammed the bud get down my throat before I could mnko a speech," said Mr, Carle "They adjourned too fast for me." County Judge Day, after the adop tion of the budget, said: "I am as hard hit as any farmer in Jackson county. I hare figured on this as close as It could be fig ured. There Is1 nothing wrong with the budget, and the only objection has been to the salary Increase. It is an Insignificant item when greater problems are viewed. You have paid more attention to It than the large end of the budget. The schools are a heavy cost, but none of you will go to a school budget meeting.

The two entered pleas of guilty to the charges today. Abel was arrested earlier In the year on a bad check charge and Sew ard held for a time as an accomplice. The charges were dismissed by the district attorney with ths under stand 'ng that Abel and Smith would leave the state immediately, which they failed to do.

LAOUABD1A E FOUR MILLION IS RELIEF WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. (AP) The federal relief activities were ordered expanded today by President Roose velt In an effort to give employment by December 15 to 4,000,000 men out of work. For this purpose, he made avail able 8400,000,000 of public works funds. It will be used by a newly created civil wnika nd ministration .headed by Harry L. Hopkins, the emergency relief administrator. A White House statement said President Roosevelt Intended 3,000,- 000 to become "self-sustaining em ployes on federal, state and local public projects" by November 10, and that these men "will be taken com pletely off the relief rolls." "An additional 3,000,000," the White House added, "will be put to work as soon thereafter as possible." Hopkins told newspnper men the Initial plan for the 3.000,000 la de signed to tska two-thirds of the per sons now on relief rolls off of char ity and put them to work at a liv ing wage.

(AP) -The Tammany dynasty In New York city has fallen swept from power In yes terday's elections which gave Florello H. LaGuardla the mayoralty by a 250,000-vote plurality and crushed the Farley -endorsed candidacy of Joseph V. McKee. Never in the recent political his tory of Tammany Hall has the wreckage of its city-wide machine been so complete. Tammany salvaged from the elec tion upheaval only lta New York county ticket. In victorious fusion quarters the assertion was made that Tammany had passed the word to "vote from the right" to knife . Mayor John P. O'Brien and "trade him in" as a desperate attempt to save what it could from the fusion landslide. The Tammany mayoralty candidate failed to carry one of the five bor oughs and finished 'third In the three-cornered race. On the other hand, the fusion party carrying Its opponents before It under the dynamic rush of ths fiery LaGuardla gained complete control of the municipal government' by winning 13 of the 18 votes oa the board of estimate, tha policy-determining body of the city. The final mayoralty vote gave La Guardla 858,651 votes; McKee, 004, 045; O'Brien, 588,100; and Charles Solomon, Socialist, 63,450. Outstanding in the election waa the failure of John H. McCoey, Dem ocratic boss of Brooklyn, to carry his own election district; the over whelming defeat of Ferdinand Pa cora, nationally-known senate bank- , Ing committee counsel and McKee candidate for New York county dis trict attorney; the blow to the pres tige of Postmaster Ocneral Farley, who endorsed McKee; and LaQuar dla's sweeping victory In every bor ough, Including McKee's home bor ough of the Bronx, and the Tammany stronghold of Manhattan. W. A. Cunningham, fusion candi date for comptroller, turned In an upset victory over Frank J. Prtal, who won the Democratic nomina tion in the primary over the oppo sition of Tammany. Other victorious fusion candidates were Bernard S. Deutsch as presi dent of the board of aldermen; Ray mond V. Ingersoll, as president of ths borongh of Brooklyn; George U. Harvey, as president of ths borough of Queens; and Joseph A. Pal ma, as president of the borough of Rich mond (Staten Island).

This is election day. Six states are repealing prohibition and New York city is repealing its mayor. It's taken Al Smith 12 years of his life (and a de feat for nomination, a defeat for the presidency) and just about every other type of bad break that a man that is in the right could get'. So when you newspapers write your editori als tomorrow telling how it all come about, kindly remember there was something under th brown derby besides a New York dialect. And P. S.! There Is "a few other things that this same gen-'' tleman has been ahead of his time on. Smith's obituary should read, "He thought too fitst for the mob." MsHiylsyfrsaMaafe. W ' .
