NO one actually believes Mr. Roosevelt Is go ing on that semi-world cruise this spring except Mr. Roosevelt. . Even the Inside crowd thought he was spoofing when he talked rather Indefinitely about It recently. They refuse to believe the president really Intends to go off gallivanting on the sea for six weeks or two months In times like these. The newsmen thought the idea so preposterous they played the story weakly. Some gave tt only a few paragraphs. The story behind It Is of more im portance and significance than the headlined gold bill. Plans Preposterous or not, he Is going. The navy already is laying plans. He Intends to leave within a week or two after congress adjourns. He will certainly visit Puerto Rico the Pan ama canal, Hawaii, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. He has an Idea that he will also go to the Philippines, but he probably will be talked out of that. That is why the $20,000 traveling allowance of the president was boost ed to $25,000 in the budget without explanation. Hints This news means a lot to sharp eyed business men and Wall Streeters. It confirms the idea that Mr. Roosevelt is scheming to get rid of congress sooner than congress now suspects. To do that he will feed congress very few legislative Ideas to chew on. He will try to hold the pro gram of the session to emergency essentials and appropriations. Fur ther, general cform regulation will " wait until nex't year. ' ' v The president has an Idea that by recommending only a few things he can Induce congress to adjourn around April 1. The congressional leaders say June 1, but the president probably knows more about that than they do. It would be too hot to make the southern cruise In June. Sailing The plan also confirms the growing suspicion that Mr. Roosevelt is going to let his New Deal drift awhile on Its present tack. No Important new post-congress developments can be in bis mind or he would not be planning such an extensive ocean Joy-ride. Tie that deduction up with the fact that he Is going to feed congress very little before it adjourns and you can see the general outlines of his courso for at least the next six months. The Inside crowd believes the busi ness improvement tide will carry along until summer. -They are confl ( dent the economic situation will not need any more presidential hypoder mics until then. Financing Expectations of a spring crisis In government financing are fading out already. Mr. Roosevelt has been much more worried about that question than he has let on. It was supposed to have been the main subject discussed (Saturday) when Federal Reserve bank governors met here. At that meeting- the governors de cided to go along with the govern ment financing program ative manner. Inasmuch as velt Is giving them 80 per leatlon of the dollar. They will be the sales agents for the new billions of government secur ities. If they cooperate, we will not have much of a crisis. "RaiiT t The New Deal theme could be dis cerned also in the Eastman railroad report to con areas. That report hardly said anything except that Coordinator Eastman and Mr. Roosevelt had nothing to say now. The rail situation will be permitted to drift as la, with the railroads lay- ing off men and cutting salaries. It violates the spirit of the New Deal. but apparently the big thinkers of Washington figure It la best to get workers out of that Industry into others and put the railroads on a stable basis. General reorganization will wait until next year. .smart ne.Hi Every time Treasury Secretary Mor genthau's name was mentioned In the senate gold hearing.

Mor ris, supervisor of the southern and westcui Oregon district for the eon irol hoard. Mr. Morris Is in Medford today on his initial visit to southern Oregon, working out the many de tails of establishment of state stores and agencies for the handling of liquor.

Mr. Morris said today. "The utmost care Is bring taken in the selection of personnel and choice of location for stores so that the 20 liquor stores and various smaller agencies will be handled In a dignified, businesslike and entirely satisfactory manner."

Approximately 100 Jobs will be available through the formation of these stores. 21 of which will be of administrative nature. This provides four employes In each of the regular stores, but does not provide for fluencies wh Ich w ' " -oon be est ab ashed. Agencies smaller com munities will be 1 ed In connec tlon with established businesses In those -communities, with the same I strict supervision accorded regular stores. Morris is supervisor of a territory including Linn and Benton countt-s and south to the California line, with Klamath and Lake counties included. His headquarters will be established in Eugene.

Londoner Likes M ed ford Pears And Recipe Book From London, England, another recommendation of the Medford pear has come. In a letter re ceived yesterday by the Pacific Fruit and Produce company, J. A. Terry of that city voices his praise of the Medford fruit, thanking the company for the recipe booklet, advertised on the pear wrapper. He bought six dozen pears In London during the winter season, and found each of excellent qual ity, he stated In the letter. "I can truthfully say that every one was a good, sound pear," the Eng lishman added, underlining each word for emphasis.

Wilson, mayor of Medford, and wife, are entitled to the return and re sclndment of mortgages and notes held in payment for stock purchased in , the Empire Holding company. The opinion Is of interest to close to 150 residents of this county who purchased stock in the same company Involving more than $200,000. Attorneys hold they will have to take separate action for the return of their securities. A Salem dispatch, relative to the opinion, says: "The court, in an opinion by Jus tice J. U. Campbell, held that nots and mortgages given the Empire Holding company as security for shares purchased from tmr company could be rescinded on grounds of fraud. "The case was brought by Wilson and wife against the Empire Holding company and Its officers, headed by former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Oliver P. Coshow, which is now defunct. The plaintiffs held they purchased 60 shares of stock and gave notes and a mortgage for a total of $5,000 a security. The opinion stated no evidence was introduced by de fendant tending to refute the alle gations of fraud. The opinion af firmed the loweY court presided over by Judge H. D. Norton, in an appeal from Jackson county." The case was argued before the mi it me court last December 22, by Attorney W. E. Crews or this city, on behalf of Mayor Wilson. The full text of the opinion Is ex pected the first of next week from the state supreme court.

In 1031 he took a thousand pelts to the auction and last year, two thousand. With numerous muskrata escaping from the muskrat farm here during the flood of 1927, there haa been a decided Increase In the number i .' animals In this section. Mr. Rubeu- stein said, proximately He estimated that ap 20,000 muskrata were trapped here this past season. There was a chorus of guarded ministerial agreement. (In an Interview published In the magazine Gendal, Admiral Suetsugu, COmmander of the navy's combined fleets, was quoted as warning that Japan must prepare to defend herself against "America's policy of hostility encircling Japan by every possible means") The so -called national spirit fos tered by such Incltatlons Is not the true spirit of Nippon, In which an international outlook'u Inherent.

Jan. 23. (AP) The Old aze pension statute makes it manda tory upon the county court to grant pensions to applicants enuuea uiere- to regardless of budget limitations. Attorney General I. H. Van Winkle held In an opinion rendered the dis trict attorney of Deachutea county. Deschutes county requested ine opinion as to what procedure should be taken when the county's $3000 budget for old age pensions Is used up. The request stated a mucn larg er amount than set in the bxidgct would be required to pay the pen sions set forth. Under the statutes, cited by the at torney general In his opinion on old ago pensions, he said "It would ap pear that the counties would have ample authority to provide for such payments, either from the particular fund or out of the emergency fund," His opinion further emphasized the duty of the court by stating that "when application Is made by a per son to the old age pension commis sion fdr a pension. It Is the manda tory duty of the pension commission to grant such pension If the appli cant is entitled thereto, which, how ever shall be In such amount, not to exceed 930 a month, as It may deem advisable but which must be suffici ent to provide for such person in accordance with the mandatory duty expressly Imposed upon the county by statute so to do. "That when the pension commis sion has -fixed tho amount of such pension, it Is the Imperative duty of the county to Issue and pay the war rants covering the amounts of the instalments thereof, regardless of whether or not a sufficient amount, or any amount at all, was provided for In the particular Item tn the budget to provide for the aggregate amount of all such claims during any particular period." The opinion held further that the old age pension law and the statute of 1930 requiring counties to care for the poor thus Imposes "mandatory duty upon the counties to provide for the car and maintenance of Its poor persons." Jackson county is practically In the same position as Deschutes county relative to old age pension payments, except that Jackson county appropriated $5000 In its budget In stead of $3000. The county court has held that, under the budget law. It could make payments up to the $3000, and no more, without violattln of the budget limitation law. The county court, in statements has explained that ow ing to the financial stress, the pen sions would have to be limited, but asked that ellglbles file application so as to have a record for the future. The attorney general's opinion makes it mandatory to make the pay mentsfunds or no funds provided by the budget. It la expected that upstate counties will make a test case of the law be ; fore the supreme court. Tho legislature when It passed the i law made no provisions for providing funds. The county court, acting as a pen slon board expect to act upon the ' . . old Pnslon application before the first of February, To date close to 300 have been filed. A check la now underway on all the applications and none will be ap proved until this work Is finished. NEARjOLLAPSE 8T. PAUL. Jsn. 23. (AP)-Mrs. Ed ward O.
