Two very Influential lobbies started
out to kill these bills some wee&s ago.
Instead of issuing statements and
conducting the usual lobbying cam
paign, these two went to work on the
slv. with certain congressmen kj crc
ate a situation whereby those two
measures would be dropped until next
session.
The campaign against the labor b'.U
is being led by an association or man

the home mortgage oui is as

hesd among the sister states of the
union, second to none In Its sg,
gresslveness along all lines tending
to the betterment of Oregon citizen

"The few counties which 75 years
ago comprised the new state were as
the cornerstone of that foundation.
And Jackson with Its beautiful scen

and valleys, was one of great Im
portance In that event, Inasmuch as
a number of early pioneers msde this
their home for their years on earth.
"And to them, If any are alive, and
to their descendanta and to the good
people of Medford I wish to ex
press my sincere thsnks and ap
preciation for the honor you have
