EX-G. G. C. LEADER
IS
O. Jean Connor, bright boy of
Pinehurat," vice-president and par
liamentarian of the aclf-styled "Good
Government Congre&B," and one of
the leading notaemakera of that late
organization, now on parole for hi
contested part In the ballot thefta, la
tn economic stress.
Xola M. Smith, welfare worker of
Harney county, has advised the coun
ty court by letter that Connor and
his wife, slater, and mother-in-law
haw applied for relief. The welfare
worker cites the Oregon law that
Connor has not been a resident of
Haniey county a sufficient length of
time to receive aid there and that a
pauper shall be cared for by the
county from whence he hailed. The
communication asked what Jackson
county Intended to do about it.
, The district attorney's office ad
vised Harney county to take up the
matter with Circuit Judge George r.
Cklpworth of Eugene, who paroled
Connor to Attorney Herman von
ficbmals of Burns, Attorney von
ftchmals, the letter states, Is now 111
but as soon as he U able the welfare
worker will hold a' conference with
hi in. Connor was sentenced to
two-year term in state prison, and
paroled, with the condition he stay
out of Jaokson county for one year.
The court In passing sentence lec
tured Connor on the dangers of his
' agitating proclivities, and advised
falra , to refrain therefrom In the
future. ,
The district attorney's office says
that embarking on a matrimonial
venture, during a period of parole Is
sot allowed, and subjects the paroled
party to a revocation of the parole, If
the court sees fit. Connor was not
married when paroled, and has evi
dently become a family man since.
A few weeks after arriving in Har
ney county, Connor requested that he
be pardoned so he could take up a
homestead In Harney county. No
action was ever taken on the plea.

VALLEY DECEIVED
S
Rum on played rather lively over
the Rogue River valley during the
veek-end.
A California radio station. In Its
new, broadcast reported that a lea
going tug chrlitened "Roosevelt," dur
ing a etoxm had rammed a wharf
Sunday, and nimble Imaginations Im
mediately reported that "President
Roosevelt had been hurt." The ru
mor started In the country, but was
promptly aquelohed by cltlsens who
heard the radio correctly, and main
tained It wae a tugboat and not the
nation's chief executive who was hurt.
Sunday morning it was widely re
ported that Ed a. Brown, well-known
resident, had died from Injuries sus
tained In a minor auto accident Fri
day. The report spread like wildfire,
causing much anguish. Mr. Brown
suffered a cut hsnd, returned from
the hospital yesterday, and Is recov
ering, and In comparatively good
' Health.
Nobody knows how the. rumor

Mabel C. Mack, county bomve demon
stration agent, who Is aetlng as chair
man for the southern Oregon district,
which comprises Jackson and Jose
phine counties.
Mrs. Mack stated today that one
additional field worker, and a con
sulting contractor are needed for
duty In this district, and that any
woman, who has had home economics
training, who Is In need of work,
should apply at the county agent's

Dr. Hiram M. Read, pioneer Seattle
physician, died here today after a
long Illness. He was 73 years old.
He was health commissioner here In
1019, going to Portland later to ac
cept a position as medical examiner
at the United States veterans' bu
reau there.
William Redanta, a native of Thur
lngen, Germany, and a character
known and loved by many southern
Oregon 1 arts during the past 30 years
he had resided In Spencer Gulch,
near Jacksonville, died last night at
the sanitarium in the pioneer town,
a stroke of paralysis ending his col
orful career shortly before he reached
his 86th birthday.' And before he had
found "long hoped for" gold In Spen
cer Gulch.
During the month he had spent
in the sanitarium the walls had come
to echo with his quaint and rollick
ing German songs, which only death
could silence. He had lost his eye
sight number of years ago, but
never bis sense of humor.
Aa a boy of 17 Redantz left Ger
many with another youth, headed for
England on a boat with but seven
dollars between them. He landed some
time later in Baltimore. After spend
ing some time in the east, he came
to Eugene, Ore., then on to Jack
sonville, where he took up a home
stead In Spencer Gulch. He was a
carpenter by trade and the swing of
his hammer was ever accompanied
by song.
To visit his friends, living on the
outskirts of the city to the east, he
often walked two and a half miles,
arriving In "fine fettle" and ready j
to tell some "good tales." He hadn't j

Illinois Lifts
Tax Burden Off
Real Property
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Dee. 37.
(AP) Illinois today abolished Its
state tax on property, which last
year was 60 cents on each 9100 of
assessed valuation.
Revenues from property will be
replaced next year by the two per
cent retail sales tax.
"The elimination of the state
tax lifts a burden of approximate
ly $36,000,000 from the taxpayers
in 1934." said Governor Henry
Horner.
"Thus Illinois for the first time
In 116 years has been able to re
lievo real estate and personal pro
perty of the stat tax'
than 30 years and his hair hung In
becoming lines about his shoulders,
which projected far above those of
the average man.
He leaves several relatives in Min
nesota, whose names were not re
ported, here tiday. Funeral services
will be held at the graveside in the
Medford I. O. O. F. cemetery under
direction of the Perl Funeral home
Saturday at 10 :30 a. m.

The public works administration to
day referred to the CWA a request of
the Oregon Game commission for
funds to Improve Its fish hatcheries
and game farms.
The project, to give employment to
more than 100 men in 14 Oregon
counties, was immediately forwarded
by CWA to the Oregon civil works administration.
ATTEND CONCLAVE
PORTLAND, Deo. 37. (AP) A
marked decrease In attendance was
noted here today aa Oregon teachers
assembled for their 34th annual con
vention ot the Oregon State Teachers'
association.
Financial Inability of the Instruct
ors to come to Portland was the main
reason for a falling off In representa
tion compared with previous years,
since many school wsrranta remained
uncashable and many schools either
have closed or shortened their terms
so drastically teachers cannot afford
to travel.
