S&ttafactlon. with tb preaent plan
of making production Allocations un
der the lumber code, with lumber for
export Included Jn the quotas, was
xprewed today by representatives of
more than 90 per cent of the com
panies In the Pacific northwest en
gaging in export business.
Their views, presented before the
national control committee of the
lumber code which has been meeting
here since last Tuesday, made It like
ly that no change in the plan will be
made, It was indicated.
'.'If It is the purpose of the reoovory
act and the Industry codes to control
and regulate unfair competition arjd
chiseling activities," L. E. Force of
Seattle, general manager of the Doug
lah fir exploitations and export com
pany, said, "It is as necessary In our
export trade as In our domestic trade."
"If export lumber Is exempt frum
the code you will find competitive
conditions on this side of our foreign
business such that ruinous prices will
prevail and It will be Impossible for
the industry to- Justify home consum
ers paying established minimum
prices, and It Is possible that even
some of our foreign markets would
have a clean-cut case of dumping
against us.
"It Is true, perhaps, that some in
dividual mills would benefit by ex
ports being exempt, but If every mill
was granted exceptions to fit its par
ticular operation, we would probably
need as many codes as there arc
mills."
STATE EFFECTIVE
(Continued from page one)
he would favor the federal govern
ment collecting all volume levies on
liquor with a provision to return a
percentage to those states which do
not Impose a similar tax.
Dough ton said he believed the
presldetn favored this proposition, al
though he was leaving the liquor
revenue problem entirely with con
gress. Doughton proposed that 20 to 25
per cent of the federal tax be re
turned to those states which do not
Impose a volume levy on liquor.
Irr Crusader Views
BINGHAMPTON, N. Y., Dec. 1.
(Ap)-wm. E. ("Pussyfoot"') John
son, Internationally known dry cru
sader, declared In an Interview here
today that If repeal Is to be a suc
cess the total tax on whisky should
not exceed 50 cents a gallon.
"Repeal is here, and we should
make the most of It by keeping the
bootleggers from trafficking in spir
its," Johnson declared.
"Before the lBth amendment, tax
on liquor was $1.10 a gallon and for
30 years before the 18th amendment
an average of 1500 Illicit stills were
seized annually by revenuers.
"If $1.10 a gallon tax will not
eliminate the bootlegger, and illicit
liquor manufacturer, how will $2.60
or $3.60 a gallon tax do It?
"It only takes about 40 cents to
manufacture a gallon of whisky and
a tax of more than 50 cents a gallon
on whisky lets down the bars for
bootleggers."

T
OF
PLANE'S FLIGHT
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16. OP) A
man with snow white hair sat back
In his chair tonight, hesitant to talk,
seemingly more anxious to "listen and
learn" about the aviation which nil
around him were discussing.
And yet 30 years ago tomorrow this
same man made the first successful
power flight In a heavier-than air
machine.
Ho was Orvllle Wright, the guest of
honor' at a dinner given by men prom
inent in the Industry which he gavo
a literal flying start.
As he sat at the banquet table a
story came over the wires from Nor
folk, Va- it was from Harry P. Moore,
newspaper man, and told how, in
1903, ho offered thirty newspapers a
story about Orvllle Wright making an
airplane flight at Kitty Hawk. N. C
and how only six papers accepted It.
Some even refused to pay for his teler
graphed offer, he said.
"I obtained the story from the
Wright brothers' friends, the llfesavera
at Kitty Hawk, where the flight was
made," wrote Moore. "Up to the lay
Orvllle Wright made the flight, the
people at Kitty Hawk regarded him
and his brother, Wilbur, as 'half
cracked.' "The llfesavera not only supplied
me with the story, but they also gave
me photos of the flight."
Mention of the photograph brought
a smile to the face of the surviving
brother and called forth one of his
few comments on his experiment.
AMERICAN TRADE
NEW YORK, Dec. 16. (AP) The
Peek tariff bartering committee, the
Associated Press learned authoritative
ly tonight, contemplates a corpora
tion to handle all American foreign
trade.
Under a proposal outlined here,
the government would share with
private industry and business in the
capitalization of the export agency.
which likely would approximate a
billion dollars. It would be under
government regulation.
The agency would supervise pro
duction for world trade. The gov
ernment, to lncYease export quotas
and better the markets abroad, would
bargain with tariffs and Imports.
Such a plan la in line with the
recent White House announcement
that the tariff committee, of which
Oeorge N. Peek Is chairman, will
recommend department machinery to
co-ordinate all government relations
to American foreign trade.

FOUND GUILTY OF
RICH MAN'S DEATH
WATNESVILLE, N. C, Dec. 16.
(AP) Three mountaineers charged
with the killing of ThomM Price,
wealthy philanthropist, were convict
ed late tonight of second degree
murder by a Jury In Wayne superior
court.
Wayne Poller. 34-year old mica
miner whom the state charged fired
the fatal shot, was sentenced, by
Judge Felix A. Tarvey to from 20
to 95 years in prison.
Rls brother Clarence, 29, was sen
tenced to from two to four years,
and Eric Ledford, 22, a cousin, drew
a sentence of from IS to 20 years
Imprisonment.
Wayne Potter's 14-year old son
Clyde, charged with conspiracy In
connection with the crime, was ac
quitted by the Jury of mountaineer:.
The state had sought to convict
the three men on a first degree mur
der indictment. Conviction of first
degree murder In North - Carolina
carries a mandatory death sentence.
The Jury, which received the case
at 3:55 p. m., deliberated for seven
hours before a verdict was reached.
The courtroom was crowded when
the verdict was announced But there
was no demonstration.
The defense immediately filed not
ice of appeal, and the bonds for the
three men were set at 10,ooo each.
Frantically the little girl searched.
Persistently her father, president of
the Portland Gas & Coke company,
advertised in the Portland papers
and bent every effort to find his
daughter's missing playmate.
Today they picked up a newspa
per. A first page story told of the
rescue of a curly-haired spaniel from
a ledge hardly a foot above the ris
ing waters of the Willamette river.
Eagerly they read the story, turned
to the page where It was concluded,
and there waa a picture of the res
cued dog.
"It's Rusty!" cried Candaoe. And
Rusty It was. They got him from
the Oregon Humane society which
had helped In the rescue and placed
him in a cat and dog hospital.
IN JERSEY WRITE
T
NEWARK, N. J., D. iff) A
mass meeting of striking employee of
the Ford Motor company's Edgewater
assembly plant will be held at the la
bor lyoeum here tomorrow afternoon
for the purpose of reviewing the strike
situation and, probably, to adopt a
resolution to be sent to President
Roosevelt.
J. Olenn Anderson, counsel for the
strikers, said today he was unable to
predict what form the resolution
would take but Indicated It would be
a vigorous protest to the president of
their treatment by the Ford company.
Anderson saJd.the strike, called Sep
tember 28, had turned into a "lock
out" and asserted the Ford company
had refused to take the men back in
a body and also had refused to ne
gotiate with representatives of the
workers. He said there were 1.250
workers "locked out," about 35 of the
original striking groups having found
Jobs elsewhere.

At Rialto
Will Rogers returns in "Doctor
Bull" and will play at the Rialto
theatre today and tomorrow, on the
same program with "The Death Kiss,"
which has David Manners, Bela Lu
gost and Adrlenne Ames featured.
"Doctor Bull" shows Rogers as the
small town physician, whose reme
dies and cures are aU old-fashioned
ones and combines with the homsly
philosophy that has so endeared Rog
ers to the American public.
"The Death Kiss" supplies in large
portions, drama, suspense and excel
lent acting. Laid in a Hollywood mo
tion picture studio. It also offers a
different angle from those used to
date. Clever maintaining of suspense
throughout, makes "The Death Kiss"
one of the most interesting thrillers
to be shown here for a long time.
The same program also has a select
ed group of short subjects.

a strong performance. Lyle Talbot, as

Speed, action and heart-throbs are
the distinguishing features of "The
Return of Casey Jones," Monogram's
feature of railroad life which Is the
second feature on the Holly pro
gram. Starting off at a rapid pace,
this picture gains In momentum and
dramatic Interest as the plot unfolds.
Silhouetted against the ever-changing
background of railroad life and
country disorganized by war, its
simple, sincere story kept last night's
audience absorbed right up to the
final fade-out.

Why We Think the Fox Theatre Chain
and Holly Theatre Are A Menace to
Medford and Vicinity and to Us -- the
Independent Theatre Owners ....
WE think the past operation of the Fox Theatre Chain
in Medford if enough to put the stamp of disapprov
al forever upon them, for their whole purpose and aim
seems, to us, to be along one line of thought, and that
is to control all the theatres here.
THEY purchased, last year, all the Major film product,
forcing the closing of the Holly. George Roy, who
was operating the State Theatre, was forced to quit, and
the Rosy was forced to show pictures at ten cents and
was barely able to remain open. They were unable to
pay any decent salaries and were in a mont precarious
condition.
THIS was all done by Fox with staggering losses to
. themselves ; so we believe that if ever there was such
a thing as unfair competition, this is it.
WE believe that every admission paid into the Holly
Theatre is a direct thrust at our very vitals, and
appeal to you the citizens of our own city to spend
your money with the independent, homeowned theatres.
BOTH Mr. Newman and Mr. Rosenberg called upon
Oeorge Hunt, agreeing to maintain the same policy
and prices as Hunt's Craterian when they opened the
Holly Theatre. This agreement they have already broken
by double billing and really, you can expect anything.
You have heard of "bread wars" when bread was sold a
low as one cent per loaf and, frankly, it is possible that
theatre admissions might go that low in Medford.
THEY may show pictures that you wish to see, but in
this case, we ask you to wait for their showing in our
second-run theatres, which will show them shortly after
ward. Yours for a Greater and Better Medford,
We, the owners are
