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.

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.

STATE GAS PRICE
IS
E BY
PORTLAND. Ore., May 13.
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."
