MECPOTITS TilTTL THTBUXK. JIEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, MAT 13, 1931. PAGE SEVEN DEVERS LOOKS UP J. M. Devers, Republican candidate for the nomination tor congressman, first district, was a visitor In Med ford Friday, on a tour through the congressional district, meeting a num ber of the voters. A member of the state highway commission for the past 15 years, Mr. Devers is widely known throughout the state. Pour years previous to that, he was dis trict attorney of Lane county for four years. Speaking of his Btay here, Mr. De vers said: "So far as I have been able to ascertain, Jackson county has no pet projects for which It seeks federal aid, except more and better highways, and a short railroad con nection with the coast. These are both worthy projects and will have my support. "I believe that every citizen owes to his country his utmost effort for its welfare and promotion in time of peace," Mr. Devers satd, In reference to the soldiers' pay "and the supreme sacrifice If need be, for its defense in time of war. "The nation owes to that citizen, who In time of war sacrificed In his country's defense either life, limb or health, and to his dependents a Just reward. The compensation paid by the nation to the soldier should, so far as Is humanly possible, equal the sacrifice made. No soldier, or his dependents, should be offered less No real soldier will demand more. "If honored with the privilege to represent In the U. S. congress the first district, It shall be my constant purpose to promote those measures and processes of government which will contribute most to human needs, best serve the nation's citizenry, and bring the greatest good to the greatest number." Mr. Devers said that he also favors the control of the moving picture at Its source, instead of censorship fol lowing the completion of a picture. The candidate left in the afternoon for Ashland, where he planned to re main for a short time.

E With the weather perfect and the feeling, of the youngsters high a the result of the Idea of some young ster getting a chance to "duck" other members of the bunch in the river, the senior class ol Medford high held its annual plcnlo on the Elks' picnic grounds Friday. The class left Medford at about 8:30 o'clock In the morning; Jour neyed to the airport and then fol lowed a trail left by the leading car to the picnic grounds. Indoor baseball and BWlmmlng were enjoyed by the boys and girls pres ent during the morning. Lunch was served at approximately 12:30. In the afternoon games of different kinds were played. But "rest"! seemed to be the thing that most of the stu dents were interested in, for a bat tle royal was forthcoming. The word had spread around that the Juniors had spotted their plcnio grounds The Juniors are regarded as enemies on that particular day, most certain ly during the annual tug-o-wnr. The tug-o-war grounds usually Is laid as close to a mud hole or any body of water as can be attained so that the loser will have to be tossed Into the water or mud. The territory used for the tug-o-war at the Elks' pic nic grounds was a muddy lagoon Just south of the dance floor. However, the Juniors lost but resented the idea of having to go In the muddy water. The seniors forced theirf to go In. The boys after the battle, were hardly distinguishable for the mud that covered them. The senior girls proceeded the In response to many Inquiries re garding the tickets for the Qleemen's concert which is to be given at the high school auditorium tomorrow night the management has announc ed that the associate membership cards wll be honored as they were at the first spring concert. The ques tion was raised because of the book ing by the Olecmen of the guest artists Miss Prances Mullen and Miss Dorothy Wagner, causing many to think that their inclusion in the program would change the status of the season tickets. The Olcemen were fortunate In being able to secure these two tal ented young ladles who come to Medford highly recommended. The variety and novelty of their contri butions to the program Is sure to please the large audience that will doubtless greet them. Equally cer tain to meet the approval of the listeners will be the different chor uses upon which Medford's singing organization has been assiduously working. An entirely new group has been prepared under the direction of Jim Stevens and Includes classic and popular numbers that lend them selves particularly to the harmony of male voices. One outstanding chorus is a special arrangement for the Gleemen by Sebastian Apollo of the Immensely popular "Wagon Wheels." It Is expected that this song will stop the show. Tickets for the concert are on sale at Prultt's Melody Shop, The Tog gery, Baldwin Piano Shoppe, Palmer Electric store and the Chamber of Commerce. Depression prices still pre vail with a half price charge far student tickets.

Continued charge in new dispatches from Salem to the effect that tho gasoline Industry U seeking to force a higher price upon the ataw or Oregon In Its purchase of gasoline than the normal price structure prevailing on the Pacific coaat, were declared mis leading today by the Oregon Petro leum Industries committee, which pointed out: "Rerorta from Salem have declared that gasoline could be purchased out side of the state at a lower price than exists here. However, they have failed to tell that theae purchases can only be made in axears affected by dtaas troiu price wars, disastrous to retail dealers and to supplying companies. "Statements have also been publish. ed In Salem Indicating that the state had to pay 31 Ho Pr gallon, the pre vailing retell price. This, too, is mis leading. As a matte of fact, since May 1st the state government his been able to purchase gasoline at Sa lem at 17o per gallon In tank cars. This figure Includes the 5c state tax but does not Include the lc federal tax, which Is exempt to state govern' ments and municipalities. "The bids for business of the state government are controlled by tho President's Code of Pair Competition for the Petroleum Industry, which states that euoh bids shall be made on the buls of the seller's posted price at time and place of delivery. Any per son selling petroleum products to the state government must comply with this rule, except that a top price may be bid, but in no event shall the top price be lower than 35 per cent mors than the posted price on the date the bid Is made and then not for a period exceeding three months. "The petroleum Industry seeks to maintain the Code, which Is deslfmed' to provide a fair margin of profit to the thousands of dealers In gasoline! throughout the state, whose business j must be protected, a fair margin fori the petroleum Industry and a fair) price to the consumer. More than one j thousand additional persons nav j been given employment in the oil in- j dustry In Oregon as a result of the I adoption of the Code, with a combined ! Increased monthly salary of $80,000 j The oil Industry has millions of dol lars invested In the state, and upon the industry's prosperity depends the welfare of many thousands of em ployees and their families."
