ffWfe REAR TIRE BURSTS
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, 0. C, Aug. 8.
First-class conomlste will tell you
privately that the main thing wrong
with thla coun
try now 1 not
(Die lack of mon
ey or the value
of It, but the
atagna t 1 o n
of what there la.
Little la eald
about that aub
ject. There are
bo official fig
urea on It.
Current talk
jiaa centered
mainly around
, the mounting to
Paul Alallon
tal of excess reserves in federal re
aerve banks. These reserves have
more than doubled In the past year
and now amount to Borne $1,800,000,
eoo or i, 900.000,000. .
Big as that figure la, It Is only a
bint of the Inner problem. If you
jnaie a little Investigation In the
right place, you will find that the
banks of this country have today
about tl0,000.000,000 of stagnant
money they could lend. In addition,
there Is yet about il.000,000,000 or
il.SOO.OOO.OOO In actual hoarding In
aafety deposit boxes and In socks.
In other words, the stagnant money
rn this ctuntry amounts to about
12.000.000.000 In round numbers,
13,000.000,000 Idle dollars which are
Ktot doing anyone any particular
good.
An Idea of how staggering that sum
is may be obtained from the fact
that It Is twice as much money as
there Is.
You may suspect offhand that,
therefore, It la a mistake, but It Is
really a most conservative estimate.
The amount of money In circulation
has little to do with lending capacity.
The sama money Is loaned over and
. over, again by banks. Loaned money
to spent and redeposlted In some
bank by the fellow who ultimately
feta It. It really does not leavo the
banks. It only goes to work there.
The proof of the figure lies In the
fnct that bank loans now amount to
13,000,000,000, or half of what they
amounted to before the depression
(the average for the pre-dcpreislon
period was around 926,000,000.000.)
Prom the comparative' condition of
tanks today, the best experts deduce
broadly that at least ten billions
more could be loaned If the public
wanted the money and the banks
wanted to lend It.
There Is only one explanation for
this situation. Either the banks have
Insufficient confidence to lend freely
or the business public has Insuffici
ent confidence to want to borrow
freely. That may sound like two ex
planations, but it is really only one.
Banks will lend only when they
believe loans are good. Business men
,llt seek to expand their loans only
t -hen they see good profits coming
' from getting Into debt. It bolls down
to the same essential underlying
cause.
Some people will say the banks arc
at fault. It may bo popular to take
that view, but It Is not good sense.
Most bankers like that good old 5
r 6 per cent interest coming in when
they can get It. They cannotemake
money out of stagnant money.
Also, they certainly cannot go on
long paying 3 per cent Interest unless
they can put those savings deposits
eut at S or 9 per cent. They actually
Have fallen Into the predicament of
!" "u 1' . ; .nn.
o much money they do not know
,ht to do.
One good effect of this condition Is
to sustain the government bond mar
ket. In the absence of commercial
outlets, banks naturally seek Invest
ments In quick a-wets, the best of
which are government securities.
Aa long aa the condition continues,
the government will not want for
money to borrow.
The hoarding Is being done this
time by the well-to-do and not by
J the poor.
A private check-up shows that
most of the hoarded money Is In bills
of large denominations. Most of It
unquestionably Is In aafety boxes.
The poor are spending and putting
their little savings. If any. In guaran
teed banks.
The total amount of hoarding to
day la about half what It waa at the
peak before the bank closings.
If all this money could be spent In
the next three months and only half
of the available bank money could be
put to work In loans, the upswing
would make you dizzy.
It ahould have been pointed out In
yesterday column that the republi
cans do rot airee with the demo
cratic congressional committee on the
result in Oklahoma. The republlcana
believe they can prove that the three
primary casualties there were blows
to the new deal. No non-partisan will
want to referee that depute.

George Pomeroy of Albany,
Calif., Victim of Mishap
Between Diamond and
Crater Lakes 2 Escape
George Pomeroy, 35, Union Oil com
pany employe of Albany, Calif., was
Instantly killed at 2:30 yesterday
afternoon when a tire blew out on
the car he was driving, throwing the
machine off a 17-toot fill about 1
miles from Crater lake on the Dia
mond lake-Crater lake road. Pome
rov'a eight-year-old son. Rodney, and
Mrs. Dorothy Hall, 2131 Northwest
Davis street, Portland, also riding In
the convertible Chevrolet coupe, which
belonged to Mrs. Hall, were . unin
jured. The Ill-fated auto was traveling
toward Crater lake, a short distance
behind another machine driven by B.
R. Glendenning of Sunnyvale, Cal.. In
which Mrs. Pomeroy was riding with
Mrs. Glendenning and the Glenden
nlng's two children. The group had
visited Diamond lake and were en
route to California by way of Crater
lake and Klamath rails when the
accident occurred.
Road Workers On Scene.
Two members of a road crew were
first on the scene, having seen the
car swerve and plunge off the effl;
bankment. They quickly extricated
the woman and boy from, the machine
which had turned over as It hurtled
to the bottom of the fill. Pomeroy
had been thrown partly clear of the
car and his head badly crushed. He
was breathing his last as the road
workers scrambled down the bank to
the wteck.
A few minutes after the accident
occurred, occupanta of. the Glenden
ning car noticed that the second ma
chine was not following, and Glen
denning turned about and drove back.
arriving upon the scene shortly after
the road workers.
Body to Klamath Fnlls.
Pomeroy's body was taken to Crater
lake and thence to Klamath Falls
Tuesday evening. The remainder of
the party spent the night at Crater
lake, going. on to Klamath Falls this
morning.
An Investigation by Acting Superin
tendent D. H. Canfield of Crater lake
national park and Ranger? C. H.
Simpson and Ray Hcndersr.n showed
that the wrecked auto hac, been trav
eling at a Bpecd of ar-out 25 miles
per hour. Apparently a rear tire had
blown out, causing. ihe driver to lose
control as the machine reached the
fill. The roacVay at the. point is In
excellent condition, wide and smooth.
The machine was not badly damaged
by the drop to the bottom of the fill.

DRIVE ON FOREIGN Pear Markets
IS
PLAN OF OFFICERS
A campaign will be launched the
end of the week against drlvera of
foreign licensed cars, In thla city and
county, Captain Lee M. Bown of the
state police announced today. The
head, of the state troopers here eald It
would be a systematic drive, and all
autolsts coming tinder the etate auto
law, would be subject to arrest, un
less they purchased Oregon license
plates at once.
The Oregon law requires that all
autos, where the owner la engaged In
a gainful occupation, la employed, or
has established a residence, however
temporary, shall purchase an Oregon
license, costing 95.
Captain Bown stated that a num
ber of fruit workers are under the
Impression they do not have to pur
chase an Oregon license, and some
hold the Idea that the Oregon law
applies only to Caltfgrnla autolsts. It
applies to all states.
A check-up of packing plants and
orchards, by the state police ahows.
Captain Bown says, that a number of
fruit workers have their wives drive
them to work, and come after them
at noon and night, and do not park
their cars at their place of employ
ment, in an effort to evade the law.
The authorities state there are
"more outside workers than generally
supposed" now In the valley.
A check-up of the residential areas
and. garages was made to determine
the owners of foreign licensed cars.

TAX L
DEBATE PROVES
SALESTAX NEED
At a very Interesting and largely
attended meeting of representative
cltlrens from Jackson, Josephine and
Klamath counties, In the basement
lunch, room of the Hotel Medford to
day, a debate on the proposed 20-mlll
limitation measure waa carried on be
tween Robert K. Smith of Portland,
director of the National Security
Ownera' association, and Ed White
of the well known local real estate
firm of Brown and White. Smith
took the side of those opposed to the
measure, White the aide In favor.
Good feeling and fairness was dis
played on both sides, and while the
debate waa Interesting, the Important
part of the meeting proved to be tho
discussion that followed. While a ma.
Jorlty of those present were strongly
opposed to the passage of this consti
tutional amendment at thla time, ail
agreed that If Oregon Is to survive aB
a going concern, a radical reduction
of the property tax must be made.
Finally the meeting virtually re
solved Itself Into the sentiment that
the only way out Is to keep after a
state sales tax and pass It. even Mr.
White strongly approved of such ac
tion. He, however, felt that the re
duction on property should be made
before the passage of a sales tax; the
other speakers felt strongly It should
be passed after. As one speaker ex
pressed It he did not believe It neces
sary to wreck the state first and then
pass remedial legislation amid the
ruins.
As a result of this meeting It Is
planned to form a tax adjustment
committee in Jackson county, to work
wtth a state-wide organisation which
was represented at the meeting by Mr.
Henry Boyd of Portland.
This organization Is designed to
work for the defeat of the proposed
measure, and whether successful or
unsuccessful, continue to function In
a persistent and continued drive to
solve the critical tax problem of the
state.
Among those who attended the
meeting and epoke against passage of
the 20 mills limitation were State
Senator George Dunn of Ashland.
Supt. of Schools C. R. Bowman,
County Assessor Blinn Coleman, Ben
Harder, Supt. of Schools Fred Peter
son of Klamath Falls, Representative
Brockway of Jackson county, County
Judge Earl Day and Representative

you get up it won't be Monday,
it will be Tuesday."
Now what I want to know is,
did it miss Tuesday's papers or
is this one going in Tuesday or
is it Wednesday t In fact, I am
not right sure about the month.
Some man in a uniform could
como up and announce, "Wo
are skipping August," and I
would believe him.
I bet the Republicans wish
they could have skipped a year
ajro" the fourth of last November.
