Cruising
WASHINGTON. Jan. 33. 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.

LIQUOR STORE EOR
MEDFORD SLATED
Mcdford'a new state liquor store
will open about February 15, is plans:
of the Oregon liquor control commis
sion materialize, according to an an
nouncement today by Edward R. 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.
"Wc are faced with a tremendous
task of setting up the machinery of
state controlled sale of liquor and
we hope that the public will be leni
ent in its Judgment until the com
plete organization is working." 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."
The state stores are being estab
lished more as a measure to control
the sale of liquor than for any rev
enue that may be derived. Morris
said. 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.
Selection of personnel for and lO'
cation of the Medford store will not
be made public until Mr. Morris'
recommendations are acted upon- by
the state administrator.

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

EMPIRE HOLDING
The supreme court, Jn an opinion
handed down today, held that E. M.
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.

Mr. Rubensteln said today that
prlcea are good for muskrat pelts, and

br ng considerable money to southern

Oregon. 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

OLD AGE PENSION
BE PAID IS
Attorney General Holds
Counties Not Exempt by
Lack of Funds Amounts
Not to Exceed $30 Month
SALEM. 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.
