War Talk.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. The Rus
sians, are really excited underneath
about the prospect of nt with
Japan.
Mr. RooMvelt found that out and
played It for all It wea worth.
h That Is the Inner explanation of
"how he waa able to get everything
he wanted in meetings with
Lltvlnoff. Even so Lltvlnoff at one
time waa on the verge of going home
without recognition. He thought the
president waa asking too much and
k put the matter up to Moscow whether
he should withdraw.
Moscow told him to give In.
Plans.
The Russians secretly believe that
recognition by the United States will
frighten the Japanese Into being
peaceable. They have an idea they
can count on us for financial and
commercial assistance In event of far
eastern hostilities.
That thought waa uppermost In
their minds, even in their choice of
ambassador. They picked Troyan
ovsky, not because he was their best
man, but because they wanted some
one here who knows the Japanese
situation Inside out.
Our officials have a somewhat dif
ferent private view of the matter.
They are planning to co-operate with
Russia 'in a very general way. but
not to the extent of antagonizing
Japan. They believe there will be
war in the far east despite recogni
tion. The fundamental factora of
the situation are so deep-rooted that
H seems to them Improbable that
conflict can be avoided.
When the blow-up comes, we wt"
stay out of It. At least, that Is the
firm Intention fixed In the minds 01
the administration policy makers.
Japan.
The root of that trouble la that
Japan Is a rapidly growing empire.
She has over-run China and now s
bumping up against Russia. The r
Joint Interests In Manchuria, their
railroads, their fishing preserves, all
bring them Into dally conflicts.
Our best authorltlea believe the
only way to stop a war In the far
east la for Japan to abandon h P01"
ley of expansion. They do not believe
she will.
Diplomacy.
The -bargain Mr. Roosevelt drove
with Lltvlnoff is the talk of the dlplo.
mate everywhere. Neither Prance nor
Britain has aa good an nen
with Russia as we have. It really
marks the flret time Russia has ever
given in to the world powers.
Our offlclala believe It will lead to
abandonment of the American section
of the comlntem. Th means the
comlntem will be advocating world
revolution everywhere except In tne
i It does not matter much because
' that outfit haa been more or im
passive for several years.

bers of the conservative and consci
entious type. Both are Republicans,
each about M years of age, Neither
are orators.
Brock way la a former orchardlst,
now residing west of the Orchard
Home district. Hi family consists
of a wife and three daughters. The
eldest daughter graduated from the
Medford high school recently. He is

the electrical contracting business at
.Sacramento. Save a term or two as
school director, this is his first ex
perience as an officeholder, but has
had contacts with politicians, and
knows their ways and tricks.
Brockway Is held in high regard by
orchard ists and farmers of his ac
quaintance. He is of the "conserva
tive dirt farmer type."
Glenn O. Taylor has been a resi
dent of this city for nearly 25 years.
He, Is a native of North Dakota,

of agricultural and economic prob
lems, widely and favorably known in
this city.
According to report, neither Brock
way nor Taylor sought the appoint
ment. Taylor was only mentioned
for the place a week ago. Brockway
has been mentioned for the place the
past fortnight. When the governor
started viewing the list of Jackson
county aspirants and poalble selec

accept, which they did aa a matter of
civic duty. Both nave in e endow

county voters.

tricts. PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 22. (AP)
Oregon's civil works administration
was organized today and it was de
clared probable that men and women,
now unemployed, will be at work
throughout the state tomorrow morn
ing under provisions of the new na
tional emergency program.
Oregon"s Job allotment was 31,000.
While all of Viese places cannot be
filled immediately, the high-geared
administrative machine will make
every minute count.
State Unit Formed
Raymond B. Wilcox, chairman of
the state group, and 300 representa
tives of the relief work structures
of the 36 counties, organized the
state unit today. With eager ears
the administrative group heard coun
ty relief agency heads submit their
work proposals.
This afternoon, Wilcox announced,
the agency from eatfi county in Ore
gon was to be given a 15 minute
interview with the state giv'ip for
the purpose of submission of work
projects that can be started tomor
row or Friday.
' Jackson County Second
"Klamath county will have the
first interview in the first group,"
Wilcox said. "Fifteen minutes later
the state group will Interview the
Jackson county relief agency, and so
on until each one has had an oppor
tunity to submit its project.
"Lake county will be the first to
be Interviewed In the second group.
Everything will be done with dis
patch. In going over these applica
tions, the state administration will
work far Into the morning. Ap
proval of any one project will be a
signal for the county administration
concerned to call their unemployed
men needed at once."
Money Not Allocated
"There la no allocation of money,
aa such. In this enterprise," Wilcox
declared. "Hours of work for men
and women is the primary purpose.
It is up to us, under Instructions
forwarded by Harry Hopkins, nation
al civil works administrator, to put
forward Jobs for these men and wo
men." '
Pay checks will be written on the
national treasury and will be dis
bursed In each county.
Maximum hours of labor will be
30 hours a week. There will be no
interruption of any man's or wom
an's work until the particular pro
ject Is concerned. No one will be
paid less than 60 cents an hour.
Skilled laborers will ge as .high as
1.20 an hour.
The way has been- pointed out by
the national administration, Wilcox
told the county men, and he de
clared the results would depend
upon the ingenuity of the state and
county administrations.
Women Considered
Wilcox said special attention must
be paid to providing work for un
employed women. Sewing rooms
should be set up by the counties, he
said; employment for nurses should
be worked out, even to the extent of
sending these nurses out for school
and social work: clerical work for
the benefit of public libraries should
be undertaken, and files cleared up
and brought to date In all public of
fices. Wages will not be subject to gar
nishment, as there can be no gar
nishing proceedings taken with the
United States treasury.
The first workers will be taken
from the relief rolls of the counties.
Later federal re -employment lists will
be used.

Unwanted Leases, Fixed

Sidetracked by Single

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 32. (AP)
Bankruptcy proceedings for the Owl
Drug company. Vis senatorial com
mittee Investigating bankruptcies
learned today, not only rid the com
pany of unwanted realty leases but
slimlnated a. fixed charge of $480,000
dividends on $6,000,000 worth of 8
per cent preferred stock.
Since all assets were taken over
for benefit of creditors, It was point
ed out, the interests of all stockhold
ers were wiped out clean.
George K. Bdler of Reno, certified
public accountant, who Is trustee
for the bankrupt company, was the
witness. He told how the assets of
the company, declared at 8,704,651.80
when a voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy was filed in federal court at
Carson City, Nev., had been sold
within the past few weeks for 1,
500,000. v
"Who bought the assets?" Edler
was asked.
"The Union Holding company,"
was the reply. "It has since changed
Ita name to the Owl Drug company,
and la operating the stores now."
"Are the officers and managing
directors of Owl Drug Co. the same
as those for the Owl Drug company?"
asked Senator Warren Austin of Ver
mont. "They are."
"Then, Mr. Edlcr," Interposed Sen
ator Herbert, "what It amounts to Is
this: the owners of the Owl Drug
company went through bankruptcy,
bought the property at a bankrupt
sale, and now have their business
back, but divested of onerous leases
and divested of the burden of $0,
000,000 In preferred stock?"
Edler hesitated, then answered; 'I
guess that's about the story."
