DEPRESSION FOE
Over 360 veterans were guests Sat
urday noon at the annual American
Legion "feed," at the Elks' club, one
of the principal features of the Ar
mistice day celebration here.
Colonel St. E. Kelly In a brief, but
forceful talk to the ex-aoldlera drew
n striking parallel betwoen the united
effort and organisation required by
the United States for their part in
winning the world war, and the
equally stupendous undertaking nec
essary to achieve victory over the
forces of depression now besetting
this country and the entire world,
"The were those, in 1017-18," said
the speaker, "who went about criti
cizing, and giving voice to pessimis
tic phophesles that .'we can't do it,'"
said Col. Kelly.
"Well, we did do It. We organised
our military forces, dented ourselves,
and aent over the men necessary to
turn the scales.
"Today, we have the same pessi
mists, the aame critics, who voice
the prophesy 'we can't do It.' We can
do It, and will do It. Already the
depression la retreating. In due
course we will win this battle, Just
as we won the battle of the Argon ne,"
concluded the speaker who saw ser
vice in both the Spanish-American
iind world wars.

RECALL, INITIATIVE
BECOMING RACKET
SALEM, Ore., Nov. 11. (UP) State
officials today warned Oregontans to
Investigate before signing petitions
and contributing money to aid recall
and initiative movements.
According to reports from several
states, petition distribution has prac
tically reached the racketeering stage.
Many have been circulated, thou
sands of dollars .have been collected
from well meaning donors, but few
petitions are filed.
Recall petition racketeers usually
follow this method: They draw up
petitions for recall of an unpopular
state officer. The petitions forms
aie given to circulators, usually poor
persons, who are paid a high per
centage of money collected to aid
the "campaign." Circulators, when
asking for signatures, also request a
cash donations, probably a dime or a
quarter.
Many persons sign and contribute,
not bothering to determine whether
the petitions were originated by re
sponsible persona or organizations.
Circulators pocket 40 to 60 per cent
of the contributions and backers of
the" movement take the remainder.
No attempt is made, in most cases,
to file the petitions. In even a
"show down" there would be the
argument "we didn't get enough sig
natures." And contributors would
not want to wish to fight over a
dime or a quarter.
Bona fide petitions, it was pointed
out, usually are sponsored by reput
able persons, who do not ask for
cash donations.
