Many times In past years the name Of General Ma of the Chinese Na tionalist Army dotted the headlines of the news.

For with the tanners bankrupt and losing their farms, the greatest single source of purchasing power, disappeared, and the entire industrial struc ture went down with them. Restore the farmer's purchasing power and all will be welL" WELL, generally speaking isn't that what is going ont We know rmrlnv is beincr sold in Jackson and JoscDhine counties for cash, today, at about double the price it brought a year or so ago. We know the Bartlett pear crop has been cleaned up at a good profit, when the growers two years ago, were practically all in the red. which netted the grower more ten years. And we know the so bad. Over in eastern Oregon where pletely sunk a year or two ago, ty, that these same farmers are come taxes, than the drought, them good incomes, and they have had no drought. And even in certain sections of the drought area at least in Illinois and Iowa, we know farmers who are smiling for the first time in several years. With bumper corn crops, revived pastures thanks to heavy rains, beans and silage maturing where the grain was destroyed, and corn at 60 cents a bushel or more, they are not staying up nights, worrying about the high cost of living. T1THT should they t Why should anyone, assuming that the II. C. L. is principally due to putting agriculture on a profitable basis, and not due to a food shortage, or to profiteer ing. And to date there is po evidence of either. ' To support the latter statement we go to the "Administra tive and research corporation of New York City," which sup plies information on economic subjeots. The government it seems, will have an effective remedy for profiteering whether it be oonnected with the stock exchange or the board of trade. The days of "Bet a Million Gates" are over. There is no rejoicing over this news but it is stated as a fact. While the drought has been severe, and in some districts a genuine catastrophe, thanks to carry-over surpluses there will be no shortage of foodstuffs anywhere. And finally we refer to the same authority, ''the AGGRE GATE cash farm income, instead of being drastically below the 1933 level, actually promises to be substantially above it." "Even in the stricken areas," the same authority maintains," the buying power of the farmer will not be destroyed for "huge amounts are being poured into the devastated areas by the fed eral government. Farmers will receive the amounts due from AAA for acreage curtailment, regardless of the fact their entire crops have been destroyed, and mndo and will be continued to drought stricken areas. In addition the government is spending $525,000,000 appropriated by the last congress for drought relief, either direct or on government projects." .... INSTEAD of regarding the prospect of higher living costs as another major disaster, we would regard such a prospeot as distinctly cheering. Statistics will undoubtedly living was highest prosperity was greatest. Not that this paper hankers for any return of the post-war boom far from it but after all where higher costs of EVERYONE, such a condition strophic And as we see it a certain able in any return of normal prosperity.

To you, the pain of childbirth ap pern to be eomethlng that one aftould endure cheerfully, Juat bearing In mind that If one survives the ei crulatlng tortures of the damned one will be rewarded with a baby. True, a baby la worth every sacri fice, but la it necessary In thla pre sumably enlightened 30th century for woman to have to undergo these tortures In order to bear a child? Is It because you are a man and know you will never have to undergo the ordeal of chlldbearlng that you aimUM this subject so lightly? I think all you physicians should spend what leisure time you have In sclentlflo research to discover some means of mitigating women's awful sufferings, Instead of berating them for not wanting to undergo a aecond childbirth after having been thru one. Because childbirth la a "natural" function la no reason why women should not demand succor while in labor. It la up to you doctors to find this for them, Instead of extolling the "noble Joys of motherhood" and the sacredness of It. (Mrs. R. H.) The letter sounds as tho It had been written In 1834 before the dis covery of anesthesia. It sounds, too. as If Mrs. B.

ANOTHER Interesting headline: "Railroads to ask freight rate Increase." They contend that because of wage Increases and Increasing cost of ma terlals they must have more for haul ing goods. . THE RAILROADS are In a tough spot. Their rates are already so high as to be driving business to their competitors, the trucks and the boats, and In order to meet Increasing costs of operation they feel obliged to shove ratea still higher.

Well, I Just want to say that if you want to a see a beautiful eight, go over on the Ap plegate to the Bert Clute hop yard on next Sunday and feast your eyes on one of the most beautiful sights you ever saw. I say next Sunday, because on Monday they will commence picking and that will apotl It all. So go Sun day, and have a real picnic. Bert will show you around and you will see one of the most beautiful hop yards In southern Oregon. Hops are going to bring thousands and thousands of dollar Into the valley and not only that, several thousand dollars will be paid out to pickers who need the money. Since last year Bert Clute has paid out over 1-8000 In putting out more hops. In buildings, and to take care of this year's crop. He put up a sawmill, and sawed his own lumber from trees on his own ranch. He has built an Immense big dry house, several homes for his working men. has Installed electric lights and oth er Improvements too numerous to mention in this short article. A little over a year ago Bert. Chits was up to h!s neck In hot water heeli over head in debt, pra"tlrlty broke, not knowing which way to turn. But the repeal of prohibition turned the tide.

Route 4, Medford, Aug. 20, 1934. Another Kind of Bondage. To the Editor: Please permit apace for the follow ing In your Interesting paper. In your Issue of August 16 there appears an item, quoting the county court as sayfng that In the future all persons receiving relief from the county would be obliged to sign a pledge for reimbursement to the county. If, and when able. We believe the county court Is composed of a fine body of men, and should receive the support of the public, but there la a question we would like to raise here: If these worthy poor are sick or disabled, they should be taken care of: If they are able-bodied, they should be given some kind of employ ment. People who are In need of help now are undoubtedly In need of clothing, dental work, hospital care and various other things, besides food. To saddle them with debt. In our estimation, would not be conduc ive to good citizenship, as ordinarily It will be all they can do, when times pick tip, to get along. If they have a family. Of course there will undoubtedly be a few who will be come financially able to reimburse the county, but the majority will not. The argument may be raised here that to receive and not pay back. Is not conductive to good citizenship, but the point as we see It Is to be kept too long In bondage, la demoral izing. If It could be arranged for party to appear at stated Intervals and In form the court of their financial con- dltion, and eventually be given a clean slate, we think it would be much better. We know the court Is carrying a lot of responsibility and this Is not offered In criticism. May be It will Induce other people to help the court with a very perplexing problem. Name on file.

Newport, As toria, Portland: WHOAl I'm broke before I get one third of the way; so I'd hitch-hike It for home and wait for the next month's payment of $200. Yes, I've paid another $10 sales tax, on pension fund. So far as I went, believe everybody was happy, wages were good, incomes Increasing, because business was booming; employers and employes all In good humor; why should we care about a little 10 per cent sale tax in times when a revolving pension plan keeps the money rolling round and round, year and year out ad Infini tum?
